Like most veteran SBC users, Fa hailed from TV.com first. He joined TV.com in March of 2010, but didn't become active until about April. At first, he only wrote episode reviews and some blogs, but eventually entered the forums, specifically the Spongebob forums. He witnessed the [[Summer SpongeBob forum attack|forum attacks]] of July 2010, but remained unfazed by it. Later, infamous troll [[WhaleBlubber]] personally attacked him via PM, but he quickly reported him enough that he was banned twice, and suspended once. Separately, he ran into a tv.com troll, SkullDuggery20, who reported him various times for his opinions. The moderators lack of assistance, and occasional outright bashing of him, nearly drove him way from the site. However, he kept going on, and eventually became a regular poster in the OT Forum.  

On July 16, 2010, after the forum attacks, he created a SBC account, as SBlover95, but didn't use it very often until Tvguy's advertising finally persuaded him to do so, where he released a spin-off entitled My Leg!: The Adventures of Fred the Fish, which quickly became popular in the community. Not too long afterwards, Fa officially left TV.com as the mass exodus of SB fans from the site continued. Although he posted about returning, he never contributed meaningfully on the site again. He later changed his username to Fa, the nickname given to him from his TV.com days.

He has hosted the 6th [[The SpongeBob Community Awards|Community Awards]] on SBC. He disappeared from SBC between the months of March and April 2011 due to him being grounded, but he has been back since May 2011.  During late August-September on SBC, Fa was involved in the [[Nautical_Nonsense_Section_Fights_2011#Tvfan_Inccident|Nautical Nonsense Section Fights of 2011]], constantly trying to rebuttal [[Person]] and [[Spongebobiscool|Sbiscool]] on their negative opinions about SpongeBob and the show writers. He had assistance from Metal Snake. Fa had initially invited Person to the site to help increase it's numbers, later recalling it as his greatest mistake. Fa was very active on the spin-off/literature sections the most, as he has said he has a natural interest in writing. Several works, including My Leg! and Squidlerd, have been considered successful, while others such as The Misunderstood Life of DoodleBob and Diaries of a Serial Killer are generally ridiculed. Fa claims to not mind as he considers the worst works to help as much as the best.

On November 21st, 2011, Fa announced he was taking a break from SBC for a while to not fall behind in school. He later returned in January 2012, but left again after January 27, 2012. Between 2012 and 2015, Fa constantly reappeared and disappeared in the forums, due to strife in his life as he detailed in an August 2015 Sharing Time post. Beginning in March 2015, Fa returned and remained active in the community. He often went by usernames that showcased his affection for Wendy Corduroy from Gravity Falls.

Starting in the summer of 2016, Fa became inactive in the community once again in part due to graduating from community college. He only made intermittent visits to SBC for the next two years such as a brief appearance in the Winter of 2017.

In June 2018, Fa was informed of the events of the Third SBC Renaissance. Despite his inactivity, Fa returned to lend moral support. Fa ended up joining the Discord channel and became active in the community again, even after college began for him. His current username is Shuichi Saihara, from the Danganronpa series.

Note: These are only spin-offs that consistently ran unless otherwise noted. Fa created several works that were promptly discontinued due to lack of interest and the issues that kept him off SBC.

'''[[My Leg! The Adventures of Fred the Fish]]''': Fa created his first spin-off on August 29th, 2010 shortly after he joined SBC. While originally not expected to be a success, My Leg! gained high amounts of views and positive reviews after only a few episodes, and is considered by most to be one of his best spin-offs. It ended on October 8th, 2010, but is still viewed regularly at the spin-off shipyard. He brought it back on January 21st, 2011, and then quickly cancelled it again. Fa struggled with matching the bar set by My Leg! for the next several spin-offs. Beginning on September 6th of 2018, Fa began a remastered edition of the show as celebration of the 10 year anniversary of Spin-Offs.

'''[[Squidlerd: The Life of an Unloved Squid]]''': On September 13th, 2010, Fa created another spin-off. Unlike My Leg!, which was centered on Fred the Fish, the plot of Squidlerd focused on Squidward and his son Squidlerd. While it received a positive reaction from fans, Fa canceled Squidlerd: The Life of an Unloved Squid on September 16th, 2010. He revived it later though, and now it is viewed consistently on SBC. He later cancelled it on June 5th, 2011.

'''[[The Journey of Fred the Fish]]''': Only three days after My Leg! ended, Fa created a prequel to the popular spin-off entitled The Journey of Fred the Fish on October 11th, 2010. It has been a mild success, obtaining an average amount of viewings, and positive reviews. It is also considered to be one of Fa's darkest spin-offs. He later cancelled it due to lack of ideas and admits it was not necessary to fast produce a sequel to the original.

'''[[The Misunderstood Life of DoodleBob]]''': On October 21st, 2010, The Journey of Fred the Fish was put on hiatus in favor of the launch of Fa's new spin-off, The Misunderstood Life of DoodleBob. Fa stated that the spin-off would be focused on the life of DoodleBob, and unlike his other spin-offs which focused more on emotion-driven plots and dark humor, it focuses more on cartoon-like stories and light humor. The spin-off received decent viewings, but received a mixed reaction from fans for its awkward premise, and a different feel from his previous spin-offs. It ended on December 8th, 2010. Fa personally considers this his worst spin-off.

'''[http://www.thesbcommunity.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11563-the-modernization-of-bikini-bottom/ Modernization of Bikini Bottom:] '''Fa's first major spin-off since his return in 2015, the spin-off followed a democratic Bikini Bottom that faced a crisis with the arrival of humans into their ecosystem. Fa has stated that while he likes the spin-off greatly, he wants to rewrite it to fit a different style. As a result, it is currently on hiatus.
