Hello, I'm fsvgm777 (or fsvgm or fsv if you prefer that). I became a publisher on June 16th, 2010 at 7:08 PM CET (Central European Time).
About me
My real name is Stéphane* (though I'd like being called Stella) and I am 33 years old. I was born on October 30th, 1991. I live in Luxembourg. I can speak Luxembourgish (native language), French, German, English and a bit of Spanish, but I already forgot most of it. Speaking of school, I was in university, but then I quit it in 2012, because of personal reasons.
I am a trans woman and thus use she/her pronouns.
*important note: Stéphane is gender-neutral in French.
I'm a (moderate) Touhou fan...though I lost interest in the series as a whole.
Right now, I have a paid job as of March 2016. That's all you need to know, really.
Me and TASVideos
I joined TASVideos on May 28th, 2009 at 12:47:56 PM CET, but started posting on July 10th, 2009. Note that I don't post very often, but it might change in the future (who knows?). I'm around on the official TASVideos IRC channel as well.
I should note that I "left" TASVideos (not really left, as I still downloaded some tool-assisted movies, but didn't join the IRC, for instance). However, I did come back on the IRC on March 31st, 2010, at 5:33 PM CET (after I read the shutdown announcement, which turned out to be fake a few days later). After that, I stayed on the site, this time for good, as I've joined the call for encoders (basically put every single published encode onto Archive.org, including obsoleted ones) on April 3rd, 2010.
On November 5th, 2011 at 8:28 PM CET, I left the publishing team, because I lost interest in encoding. Will I regain interest in it? Yes, because I regained my publisher status on September 24th, 2014 at 7:06 PM CEST.
As of February 7th 2016 at 1:39 PM CET, I've been promoted to senior publisher.

Mouse Trap Hotel is a Game Boy game developed by Imagineering (Who are known for the fantastic title: Bart vs. the Space Mutants) and published by Electro Brain/Milton Bradley in 1992.
The story's premise follows a mouse named Maxie who's visiting a hotel to meet up with his girlfriend. There's one small catch. The hotel is littered with mouse traps.
With some basic edits, this movie has been resynced in GBC-in-GBA mode and played back on real console: watch the video here.

The Quest of Ki (カイの冒険) is a video game developed by Namco in 1988. It is part of the Tower of Druaga series (in fact, it serves as a prequel to the series). The player controls Ki, a priestess sent by Ishtar in order to retrieve the Blue Crystal Rod, which was stolen by Druaga.
fsvgm777 uses warps to skip most of the regular game and gets to the regular ending at floor 60 in 2 minutes and 28.69 seconds.

In this strange game, you play a character named Plok who wants to get rid of all the fleas on his home island. Plok has the ability to shoot his arms and legs to harm enemies. To complete some stages, Plok has to kill all the fleas in the stage before the goal flag appears at the end of the stage.
Plok is in a hurry, so he looks for opportunities to travel faster. He finds slides lying around almost everywhere. He finds nice presents making him a lot faster. He finds tiny holes in the Flea Pit for big shortcuts. He finds helpful sawblades, nice guys pushing him into the right direction, and even a lovely fish which helps him climb a mountain. Even water helps him climb a mountain to discover one more slide. He also takes advantage of the fact that he can do bigger jumps without his legs.

TASes in progress
- NES Paris-Dakar Rally Special (am I out of my mind? Probably.)
Stalled projects
- NES The Quest of Ki "warpless, special ending" (might work on it again with EZGames69)
Potential future TAS projects
- Arcade The Return of Ishtar (when MAMEHawk is a thing) (figuring out the shortest route is going to be hilarious, since it has 128(!) rooms, each with multiple exits)
