Who am I?
TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Online Presence
Heya! I'm Fine Point, often abbreviated as Fine, or FP.
You probably know me from one of the below:
Various Discord Servers
Former Systems Director for AscendantCraft
A Greek themed RPG Minecraft Server with huge ambitions.
It had thousands of unique players by the time I left, but I stepped down because I felt like my life was heading
in a different direction and I wanted to do other things.
Thread Moderator & Image Helper for the VS Battles Wiki
I mostly do renders and participated in staff discussions.
My Current Portfolio.
Organizer of the FineVerse
A collaborative writing project which aims to provide tutoring,
entertainment, and a shared narrative for countless OCs and roleplays.
Members must be approved, but the finished stories will someday be published.
Writer and Poet
Mostly underground now, living off residual fame from Amino.
Most of my public stories are NSFW, so I will not be linking them here.
If you want to know more, feel free to ask me about it privately.
Facebook and Memes
I used to own or admin several large meme-dedicated groups, such as:
A Discord with 600 people, a Facebook Group with 20k members,
and a Facebook Page which averaged 100 likes per post.
I've mostly moved away from these hobbies to focus more on my writing.
Why "Fine Point"?
Isn't Fine Point a character in Equa who's an evil slave trafficker? Why the heck would that be the mascot, your profile picture, and even your username? Doesn't that make you feel weird identifying with such a terrible person?
Well, my friend, it's sort of a long story, and no it doesn't. Every author has to write villains, and many become popular enough for fans: just look at the Joker from DC! He's a terrible, terrible, person- but people love him! Fine Point was my first OC, and remains my favorite character in the same way as people can have the Joker be their favorite character. I don't endorse his actions in any way, I merely enjoy him as fiction, and like to write about him. If you are unable to differentiate between real life and fiction, then you should probably see a psychiatrist.
Okay, okay... but that still doesn't explain why you literally identify as him online. Isn't it weird to literally be referred to as Fine Point, one of your characters?
That's where it gets a little complicated. See, Fine Point was my first OC, which means at the very beginning he functioned as my ponysona. He existed merely as pony version of myself, an avatar to use on Amino where I was, for a while, a popular writer. He wasn't even called Fine Point back then, I just called him my own name. I wouldn't begin to develop my OCs into proper narratives until much later, and so for the longest time this pony and I were the same thing. His dark and edgy backstory first developed when I was very depressed, and going through dark times. His behavior and downfalls were exaggerated metaphors for how I felt at the time, and this manifested in some dark stories. I had a lot of art from fans and from requests back in those days, and Fine Point became part of my identity. A part that I didn't have the heart to abandon. So, for now, there's two Fine Points: the character, and the person. They're very different!
About Me
So, who am I really then?
Name: Everyone calls me some variation of Fine Point. My real name's Dylan, but nobody calls me that online.
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Orientation: Gynosexual
I'm a nerdy brony blessed with a plethora of disorders, including: OCD, ADHD, Tourette's, Depression, and Anxiety. Combined with a rather tragic childhood, this is the reason I probably act differently than a normal person. I hope that you can be understanding. I often don't read social situations well, but know that my intentions are almost always to learn more and make new friends- I never judge!
Sometimes I make critical observations, but to me they are purely observations. When I get comfortable around someone, I also tend to jokingly insult them, but please understand that I almost never intend an actual serious insult. If I ever say something which makes you uncomfortable, please just tell me. I'm as understanding as I am clueless, and will gladly take responsibility and correct my behavior for the future.
I really like strategy and survival games, including card games, board games, BTD, Civilization, Minecraft, SAP, 7D2D, and others. Party games are also always fun. If you ever want to play a game with me, just ask.
I have a degree in Accounting, and proudly boasted a perfect 4.0 GPA during multiple semesters.
