I started cubing about three and a half months ago, and currently average around 24 seconds on 3x3. I do 2x2, 4x4, and 5x5 as well, but my averages are quite slow. I also happen to be very interested in methods, so I know CFOP, Roux, ZZ, Petrus, PCMS/Columns, and have created two of my own methods, though I'm sure that there are probably some similar to them that I haven't found yet. I'm very excited to be here.
 
Welcome! What are the steps for the 2 methods that you came up with?
For the first one I made, you start off with cross like CFOP, then do a sort of pseudo-f2l where you create pairs out of any corner and edge pieces as long as they have opposite or the same color, then insert them in either the right edge's spot or corner's spot (inserting in the corners spot is a lot easier). After that its just OLL and PLL, plus some parity that I usually reduce to two opposite edges unsolved by doing u-perms. After that I use conjugates with h-perms to solve the last four edges. Sometimes it ends with a double two swap in the e-slice, and other times it ends up like second step of LSE for Roux, both of which don't end up having edge parity after OLL. The second method was just a simple corners first method where you do Ortega or CLL or EG for the corners, then you insert all white edges except one (I do bottom white top yellow) and use that missing edge piece as a keyhole to fill in all the yellow edges, except for one as well, which you position in the e-slice to insert the other white edge into its proper place at the same time. After that you try and pair of edges in the e-slice until you end up with one of a couple cases: a double 2-swap, a pure opposite ELL case, or a Roux EO case.
