To be honest, it wasn't my original goal plan to become a mapper in osu! It just kinda happened overtime.
How did it all started?One day in December 2011, I just decided to map a song I stepped from Stepmania and started to experiment with the mapping editor from scratch (without any assistance). I didn't jump directly to getting my map ranked at the time, I first wanted to learn how to map and how to use the editor. I made a few more maps afterwards for more experimentation.
One day, I just decided to go to Youtube to watched random Touhou videos. Eventually, i ended up watching a
fan-made touhou opening. I couldn't stop watching the video, because I love the video and the song so much XD. Therefore, I attempted to map this song (this time for ranking), since there was none at the time. About 2.5 months of hardship and 4 months of mapping experience, I finally managed to get my first map ranked!
I picked Other for this reason!
