UPDATE (11/26/17) - ...wow, it's been a full year since I have updated this profile...

So, where to begin...

For starters, I'm still alive and kicking, doing my best to navigate through life. In between work (figuring out my career path) and my living situation (want to buy in the springtime), along with anything else that's giving me stress, I'm trying to re-kindle my passion for writing.

It's been working as of late, but I'm hoping to keep it moving into 2018 and beyond.

Truth be told, I haven't been as active as I once was on here, ever since an old forum that I frequent throughout college closed down. I guess nostalgia and trying to break into the current forums I often lurk is what's keeping me from being more lively...

Maybe this will finally be the year I regain some of what I had in here from years prior...

Hello to those who've stumbled upon this unique profile!

My name is IrishPanther, but I also go by the nicknames Irish, IP, Pan, or Pantastic.

Who Am I?

25 year-old male who works in the realm of IT

Former competitive swimmer (was one for 15 years) and pianist (totaled about 9 years)

My Stint on Reviewing

I, IrishPanther, do solemnly swear to review all the fics I read, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, or anything else.

I have joined the review revolution.

This pledge originates from the RLt back in its real earlier days (circa 2007), and while it may be easy to follow at times, it can also be hard.

Reviewing, to me, is a lot like writing – we suck in the beginning, but with practice, we eventually find our niche and go from there! Reviewing, in my opinion, should only be done when you have the intention to give your absolute all – no half-and-half, “Plz update!” reviews will be coming from me anytime soon!

Let it be known that I’m a strong believer that constructive criticism should never equate to flaming, and that troll fics should never be dealt with, even in a sarcastic manner.

My Stint on Favorites

My favorites so far have been stories that I enjoyed reading.

Some favorites come from the authors, whose stories that I favorite are some of the better authors that I have seen throughout my time on this site. Other favorites come from stories that I enjoyed within my fandom.

If you are looking for something outside of my fandoms, there is a good chance that these authors might have something in store for you.

And that's all you pretty much have to know what's going on in my world! Until next update, whether story or profile, Pantastic wishes you a glorious day, or evening, or night...whatever the case may be! :)
