Hey everyone, this is a very late introduction but I would like to formally introduce myself as Etlas_Miles. You can call me Miles for short as all my friends call me that for some reason. It’s been actually awhile since I have been playing Minecraft, I remember the time when I would use to watch this youtuber named SkydoesMinecraft, he was very explicit but he had a very interesting personality but that’s when I really got interested in the game. Before I keep hearing this game during school, they would talk about the stuff you could do and what you can create. It got me interested and fascinated about the game but because I couldn’t afford it at the time all I could do was just watch videos of it.


Which is why I watch Sky’s videos however overtime I got bored and began to look for another channel to watched Minecraft videos but that’s when I came across a Yogslabs video made by a youtuber group known as the Yogscast. At first I was curious about that Yogslab episode and I just continued to listen to their commentary and eventually I got hooked and continued to watch their series like Jaffa Factory and of course their known series Shadow of Israphel. That series is what made me interested in telling stories through the medium but aside from that I also came to love the lore behind it, because as a child I’ve always like reading and tried to make my own stories despite my own abilities at the time. (I still suck at grammar but I’m learning) Anyways as we go further, I became fascinated with the concept of worldbuilding and always thought of creating an original world full of my own fictional histories, characters and unique stuff. Whenever I have the time I would always write ideas on my ipad and store them for future references and it helps. But going back to youtube, I eventually also got bored of the channel and moved on to another channel, this time it was a youtuber named Stampylongnose/head, whatever he was called. At the time I knew that his channel was centred around for kids and it didn’t really bother me as long as I’m enjoying the content. What was most interesting about Stampy was that he had a vision for his Lovely World series and that really fascinated me. Not only that I really liked his creativity and how he came up with these ideas for minigames for his amusement park area and that made me realized that there’s more potential with the game than I ever imagined. The “Stampy Phase” as I would call it lingered for awhile until I have lost interest with his channel but then there’s the phase where I watched various youtubers ranging from CaptainSparklez, Pewdiepie, Jackscepticeye, Stampy’s other friends’ channel, the likes. But then I came across this channel called ChallengeAccepted and it was very interesting.


During the random youtubing watch phase, I used to watch some series of theirs and been watching it until the day it was remodelled into Aphmau. That’s when I got interested with the concept of roleplays. At the time, Aphmau’s Minecraft Diaries was still being continued and I got curious as to what was it about, it started out as a simple survival series but then it gradually developed into a very storyline. Overtime, I managed to catch up with her series and eventually waited for many of her future ones. During those moments, I thought of it as cringy and odd but then I noticed the potential and similarities of what I wanted to do. That’s when I decided to become a youtuber as a part-time thing but then I realised that my commentary is a bit bland and most of my plans just get discarded because of my lack of commitment and dedication to it so I stopped doing youtube. However when I returned and watched the roleplays, watched some movies, videos about lore and other stuff, it all came coming back to me. My love for stories once more became ignited and once more I came back and planned everything out. Ever since watching those Minecraft videos I came to understand some things that was important. From the SkydoesMinecraft phase, I knew I needed an audience, from the Stampy phase, I needed to have a vision of sort and finally from the Aphmau phase, I knew that I needed to have a good storyline.




At first I came to Planetminecraft, because it was recommended for a place for to look for people who could help out but then why stop there when I could share my thoughts and ideas. For me Minecraft can be a medium for storylines and it shows with the amount of movies and roleplays I have seen on Youtube. What I would like to see eventually is witness an emergence of a new generation of writers who could tell incredible stories using the game itself or through film or any other medium. So once again my name is Miles and I’m happy to be a part of this community.
