My name is Moongrim.

No it's not.

I've got a real world name and it's a rather common one at that. The Moongrim name however, is a name of a character that I've been playing off and on for over 30 years. It was introduced by me for a Role Playing Game a friend of my had been developing- and he wanted/needed some players to 'test things out'. So me, my wife, and some others came up with a series of characters- respectively, and we played.

My friend- Tim- had created this system because he felt that D & D was too limiting and banal. His system that he came up with allowed one's character to explore what I guess one could call- multiple dimensions more of ability. The D&D aspects of limitation- were blown away. All in all, I and my friends- under Tim's tutelage, blossomed in our role playing fun times and camaraderie, and our imaginative skills. I feel that Tim's system played a key role in my own abilities in creativity and writing skills- so much that I eventually managed to get my own newspaper column. Tooting my own horn here- I had an English Teacher ask me if she could have my permission to use several of my articles as examples for her students of the ability to write well. (I did).

And now 10 years after my 'incident' I'm finally at the point where I felt confident enough to try again. Unfortunately during the last ten years, I've lost a lot of those abilities. But I'm determined to regain them. When I stumbled across the MG universe(s) it struck a chord with me. Here was a well thought out universe that appealed to me, and had so much going for it. I find myself feeling both seriously sympathetic for and incredibly desirous of- Saphirette Spherica. (If I could be reborn as her husband- I would). But even so, I just fell an incredible number of stories burning within me, aching to get out.

Alas right now- all of these stories are being filtered through an atrophied writing ability. The Spirit is willing, but the Flesh is weak. Well I'm determined to regain that strength.

I'd hoped to get the right to post stories on Touch Fluffy Tail- but I'm not there yet. SnowDrakE rightfully hasn't given it to me. And I cannot blame him in the least. I need to produce more, and I need to produce it well. And I shall. But it's gonna take a while. I'm gonna give myself six months worth of creating stories and go from there. Maybe I'll never get that slot on TFT- but I'm not gonna stop trying to be worthy of it.

Now that Moongrim name? As I said before- I've used that name countless times over and over. In fact it's also my email accounts in several places. Including an email account that I've had for a quarter of a century. Now Mr. SnowDrakE cautioned me against 'roleplaying' on TFT- and now I can understand him better. So, I'm not going to use Moongrim. I'm still coming up with an alternative, he's still pretty close to mine, but he is different. His name is Arawn. He and I aren't getting along too well at the moment. But we'll work things out.

Looking through TFT- I can see now why Mr. SnowDrakE is a hard ass- he's devoted to maintaining the quality of his website. It's his baby. The authors he's allowed, are, pretty much- phenomenal. And my reading through so many good stories, it shames me to think that I thought I could've just waltzed in and started coming up with crap. I cannot. I recognize my limitations now, well some of them at least.

But I admit- it's been fun, seeing the Mamono girls as people. Not only in my views of them, but also in the Posted Authors at TFT. The way the Wandering Scholars portrays the Mamono- he sees them as being sex crazed demons; he's right, but he's also wrong. I can see where he would come up with that conclusion, he sees them through the lens of his own upbringing. Where he came from- women aren't supposed to like sex. Mamono do and are quite enthusiastic about it too.

And I have to admit from a rather puerile point of view- so do I. It'd be great to be an Incubus in that world. With the sexual abilities they have. But the more I read and reread the accounts, coupled with the TFT, combined with my own experiences with life- I can see the Humanity hiding behind the Demonic faces.

Seeing what Kenkou Cross has come up with- The Overlord, has managed to find a way to disrupt the Original Chief God's Plan. And His Original Plan of balancing Humanity- quite frankly- sucks. He'd taken a Big Picture way of balancing human population by using demons as a counter balance, by killing humans and then killing demons.

Where both sides of them- just simply want to live and enjoy their own existences. The Overlord came up with a way to make that happen.

Who wouldn't want that? I know I would. It's been posited in the Scientific circles- that the human mind needs to be able to imagine something before it can come into reality- a sort of Tulpa like ability to make something real. And perhaps somewhere in the Interverse/Multiverse, there really is a MG world that is battling to change the lives of humans and demons for the better. And that all of these writings are giving the Overlord more power to do so.

I want to be able to contribute to her cause.
