Sounds great just poked at the site today but have to go to work at 5:30 so Iām going to bed for the night. See you guys tomorrow.

Ya I saw that but it also says it canāt guarantee a first edition which is what Iām hoping to find.
Thanks glad to be here @Inuconandoyle and @notkyon
Hello everyone! Iām from Atlanta, GA (in the USA), finishing up my degree and off to work in mathematics! (yay) Forgive the long post, but I like talking. So I hope you like reading 
My first (and favorite) encounter with KEY was Angel Beats! Absolutely loved it. I can definitely say itās impacted me the most of any KEY works so far (thereās a special reason for that: more later!). Iāve also finished Planetarian (2nd favorite KEY work so far; absolutely loved it!), Little Busters! (deeply enjoyed it) and Rewrite (also enjoyed it). I own AIR and Kanon, though itās on my list to complete, and iāll have the CLANNAD Steam version whenever it comes out. And iāve pre-ordered Angel Beats -1st beat- even though iām still super elementary in my Japanese, haha. Basically, I love KEY stuff.
I found this website through numerous links from reddit.com/r/visualnovels, which I found after a guy from /r/twitchplayspokemon (itās absolutely ridiculous, though the golden age is over. Check it out) recommended Umineko to me. I bought and played it and grew to love VNās. Though I actually found Angel Beats! through anime, which I encountered through manga, which I found through my many many hours of childhood spent reading in the bookstore.
Anyway, to finish up my massive intro: one relevant fact about me. The job iām studying for will include serving the dying. Thatās where Angel Beats! tore my heart open. If youāve ever heard of the Missionaries of Charity (cf. Mother Teresa of Calcutta; not my future job, haha, but related to it), youāll know they love the suffering and dying in their last moments. Many in their Homes for the Dying have passed on happy and loved, even if their lives seemed to be meaningless.
Iām sure you can see the connection with Angel Beats! Finding the meaning of their life - moving on to Heaven - experiencing the depths of true, selfless love: itās incredibly beautiful, and itās part of my own purpose. So thatās most definitely my favorite KEY work, and the one I hope a lot of people are able to be inspired by to further seek true happiness, for themselves and others.
Anyway, hope you all enjoyed learning about me! Looking forward to getting to know you all!
P.S. One last random fact. I like writing! Particularly murder mystery novels. So if anyone else writes novels, we should chat

[/quote]I can see why you like writing murder mystery. XD
Since youāve read Umineko, you should also try reading Higurashi, since itās written by the same guy and itās quite an entertaining read. At least, it is in my opinion.
Iām also into writing as well. I like to write shorter, calmer stories (mostly romances), but Iām also working on a couple ambitious projects at the moment, including a fanfiction about this very forum.
Iāve heard good things about Higurashi, so I might eventually roll around and read it. For now, my backlist is growing ever longer, so I need to work on thinning that!
Romance? I want to try writing slice-of-life sometime with a love story; thatās the closest iāll get to a full romance. Even then, the main focus will likely be elsewhere. But, for now, I need to get the murder out of my system

[/quote]I second this motion Higurashi is amazing and actually has some loose tie-ins to Umineko so for sure worth picking up when you get the chance.
