Welcome to the forums Kowaiser. I'm actually a lot like you and apparently have a lot of things in common with you. I'm in my second year of computer networking, which i took just so i could learn more about videogame design. I also have been recently reading fanfic's for the first time and have started writing down some idea's to write my own fanfics.
This is my first time reaching out into the fandom and so far its been even more of a blast, since so far the only bronies i've met have been over xbox live.
