Not too late, no worries! Welcome, Shadowraikou~
So you write stories? Have you thought of posting anything in the Fanfiction section? :O We could use more stories and poems posted there and it's a great way to get feedback on your work. One of PC's strong points is its creativity; a lot of our members either draw, write, make hacks, roleplay, and plenty of other things. Sharing your stuff's always pretty worth it here. But not pushing you or anything - just a little suggestion from one of your fellow forum members.
And you'll get better at hacking in no time! It's not too hard once you've gotten the hang of it (or so I heard). The thought of publishing a game for people to play is really exciting, so hopefully that keeps you motivated. Good luck! :D
Enjoy your stay on PC, read the rules, and see you around! Feel free to contact me whenever if you need anything at all (or Cid, alternatively).
