HELLLLOOOOOO! I'm Tainted / Klelthin / whatever else you wanna call me! Most anything works!
I'm a friendly, neighborhood fanatic of all things Hyperdimension Neptunia, and you'll likely see this reflected in, well, pretty much everything about me!
I'm an aspiring author, an adequately-talented writer, and an inspired fan, so I'll be around from time to time with new posts and whatnot. :D

I hope we get along well!

I'm active from time to time on here when my Neptunia moods come forth in massive bursts, so you'll sometimes see me and sometimes not - though, due to medical conditions, you'll almost always find me somewhere, at least. I'm either on Steam, here, or reachable by my messenger-app usernames, which I'll link below if you ever want to chatter away. :D I adore fellow fans of anything I like, and anything Neptunia-related is literally enough to make me gush and smile like a dolt. This series touched me somehow in a way that I just can't explain - it needs to be heralded as brilliance, and I must be one of the many to guide it to fruition! Everyone! Must! Know!

Yuri is the purest form of love.~

I'll sometimes stop posting for a week or two at a time, up to a couple months - I apologize for this, and don't expect it to happen so often now, but it has happened before, so I apologize in advance should it occur. I'll always eventually return, but I do sometimes poof.

Neptune and Noire are the indisputably best pairing that has ever come to my attention. I shall never yield on this fact - if you ever want me to give you tons of fan-art I have saved in various places, just ask. Aside from that...

Blanc/Vert, Nepgear/Uni, Iffy/Vert, and Plutia/UBlanc are the more common pairings I can see and actively support from the games. I can also visualize a couple others, but when I intend to eventually branch out of my (never-ending) Nepoire phase, I'll probably be posting stuff from each of these. If you have other requests or want to bounce ideas off me regarding other pairings - I'll totally give you 100% attention and give you my perspective, though I'm not listening to any suggestions for other pairings using Neptune or Noire. Purple and Black or nothin'.

If you ever want to contact me outside of FFN;

-Discord: Tainted#4018
-I'm also the technical moderator of an HDN-author-based Discord run by Zergface as well as lurking as a pseudo-mod of a gaming community. If either of these interest you, PM me and I'll shoot you a join code for either! One for my personal projects and ideas may come about in the future as well, when I've the energy to get it set up and whatnot!
-Steam: /id/Tainteddark/
-Kik: Tainteddark
-LINE: Klelthin (but I'll appear as Tainteddark, so there's that)

I also like other stuff besides HDN, of course; I'm an avid fan of the Soulsbourne series, I liked Fairy Fencer quite a bit (while somewhat disagreeing with the endings, but that's not the entire game, so), I've watched a plethora of anime and know quite a few titles and can tell you a good few pairings I've preferred over the years, and I play a lot of games. I'm an avid gamer-weeb. I'll admit it. If you ever want to discuss titles or get recommendations, I'll do my best. :D

A factual fact; I tend to write from first person perspective - this is how I write for my personal writing and for how most of my fanfiction'ing goes. It's not for any particularly special reason, besides that I'm no longer comfortable with third person, and omniscient feels... weird, for me. It's challenging yet very personal and emotional to write in first person - I can flesh the character out however I personally feel they should act, and from feedback from others, I get to improve as a result. I'll sometimes try other styles, but you'll tend to notice I stick to first person. :D

I'll post this blip here for news on my stories and whatnot, since I'm never really clear about it -

- Dimensional Dilemma's gonna' sit for the time as I have some other stories I need to write prior to it for it to flow. It's gonna' be interesting, you'll see. :D
- Unlikely Partnership's going to be seen redone and rewritten with a new plot in mind. If you're looking for the older version's plotline, that will be under the title of 'Rivals'.
- Rivals will be tackled at some point for rewriting and revamping, as I certainly haven't forgotten about it - just haven't gotten to it yet.
- Tsuns of a Feather have lots of ideas set for it, though I'm not really working toward those just yet. Still mostly blipping on NepNowa.
- White-and-Green's also on the soon-to-come list. I have ideas and they're adorable. They just need to be written.
- NepNowa never ends. There'll always be something.
- Bioshock's on a long hold. I've got no interest in working on it at the moment and as such, it'll just sit for the time. It'll also be redone once I tackle it again.

New projects are also expected to be under way at some point. It's just a matter of whimsy. Sorry!

Personal Reminders -
- Check Zerg's stuff.
- Check for other writers' NepNowa stuff.
- Commission more Nep stuff. :)
- Depression will go suck it. Keep your head up!

You'll probably notice I don't really have any favorite stories or authors - besides Vyn, who was my original idol way back in 2013, when I first really got into this site as a massive Wreck-it Ralph fan - and this isn't for any really particularly cruel reason; I do my best to avoid reading other peoples' stuff since I've got naturally low confidence in myself, and the tendency to borrow ideas from things I read. I'd rather never get accused of that or hurt peoples' feelings/discourage my own, so if you see me anywhere besides on my own stuff, it'll be about as rare as encountering shiny Pokemon in the older games without any special tricks.

Aside from that, I love getting reviews for my stuff - criticism, too, and I'll usually send a message back to talk about the review's contents, or if I'm just hectically spewing out story after story, I'll just slap a response into my author notes at the top and bottom. I hope that's okay, I'm kind of terrible at sticking with one style of interaction. :S

I don't mind getting ideas for stories or shots, though I'm not fond of trying to drop OCs into series for a lot of reasons - especially the concept of male OCs or romance-involved OCs in stuff like Neptunia. If you read above, you'll notice I like to pair almost all of the characters with other in-series characters, so sticking a new face in there isn't really my thing. Especially with balancing powers, character usefulness, and all that - too much, and you're Mary Sue'ing, too little and it's a background character and that's not fair to whoever asked me to drop them in. I'm still practicing getting used to writing for each of the in-series characters, so that might be a bit out of my realm of expertise at the moment. D:

Do it for Lastation. Do it for Planeptune.

Praise the Tsun.
