Network

Likely the most popular spot here, the network contains a digital anthology of my currently explorable websites. You'll notice the stark contrast between the types of websites here: a lovely cacophony of personal and art-oriented mashed with the undoubtedly fannish. What can I say? I'm an artist, an animanga fiend, and a video game addict. And these are the sorts of websites that such a person creates. Pick your poison (if, unlike me, you have a particular taste) and enjoy! Oh, and websites in the works can be found on the upcoming page, and you can also check out the history page to see an outline of my websites through the years.

	sereingallery
	Type: Illustration gallery Topic: Fantasy Opened: 1998
	Seeing as how my whole foray into the web design thing was mostly prompted by an interest to post my artwork online, it shouldn't come as a surprise that my online art gallery (and its various incarnations) is one of, if not the oldest site of mine. Currently hosted on Deviantart, the gallery is small and in much need of expansion; but that requires inspiration, which I don't seem to have much of these days. (I only say this in the hope that I'll condemn myself to bountiful amounts of inspiration!)

	delugedesign
	Type: Layout archive Topic: Personal/various Opened: 2003
	An extremely outdated layout archive featuring almost every layout I've created, including those created before I'd ever even contemplated a layout archive. If nothing else, it's an excellent delineation of my progress as a web designer. But I must really get this thing up to date, and pronto.

	G4M3Rreviews
	Type: Mini-reviews Topic: Video games Opened: 2004
	I've always appreciated review websites that provided quick, starred reviews. In my search for a game-related one, I came up empty. I was also disappointed by the lack of retro game reviews, which is why most of the reviews you'll find are of games from retro systems. More recently, it's aided me with my problem of forgetting which games I've actually played and which I haven't!

	Type: Character tribute Topic: Squall Leonhart from FFVIII Opened: 2008
	So, it's not exactly secret knowledge that I have a big thing for Squall Leonhart, and have had for quite some time. Unsurprising as this knowledge is, I'm often faced with bafflement and belligerent comments, such as, "Squall's a dickhead and a wuss!" or "That whiney bitch?" See, they don't sugar coat things. But those who've made such comments will be surprised to discover that neither does their much detested object of loathing. My dear friends, are you curious to discover even more similarities between yourself and he whom I've aptly dubbed my "knight in shining leather"? Carry on to Shift, then.

	Type: Character tribute Topic: Vivi Orunitia from FFIX Opened: 2007
	Getting a little bored of listening to the Final Fantasy VIII soundtrack over and over again at work, I decided to fall prey to my linear sensibilities and switch over to the soundtrack of the next game in the series. It was a surprisingly nostalgic experience for me, and got me thinking about my favourite character in the game: the precocious and adorable Vivi. A highly overlooked character is he, and so I decided to remedy the situation with a tribute to the little black mage.

	trustyourheart
	Type: Character tribute Topic: Terra Branford from FFVI Opened: 2007
	While gobbling up the GBA version of Final Fantasy VI, I decided it was high time to make a tribute to one of my favourite Final Fantasy heroines, Terra (or Tina!) Branford. Terra's character holds many qualities I admire and personally like to attribute to my own characters. She came to represent a legacy of future Final Fantasy heroes and heroines, so it only made sense to me that, in order to get to the root of the Final Fantasy archetypes, I must analyse her character at some point. We two also have memory problems, which doesn't really have any bearing at all, but I thought I should mention it nonetheless. Wait, what was I talking about?

	nightflower
	Type: Character tribute Topic: Tear Grants from Tales of the Abyss Opened: 2007
	My Tear Grants dedication came about entirely unexpectedly: I'd picked up Tales of the Abyss on a whim (and very nearly ignored it for reasons explained in the about section of the site) and was expecting a possibly enjoyable, though certainly not riveting RPG. Boy, was I wrong. Tales of the Abyss has become one of my all-time favourite games. I love all of the characters—in particular Guy, Luke, Jade and Asch—but I connected most to the main heroine, Tear. Tear is such a strong, endearing and utterly believable character; I was quickly inspired to make a tribute to her.

	crypticpuppet
	Type: Character tribute Topic: Caith Sith & Reeve from FFVII Opened: 1999
	By and large, this shrine was made in an effort to bring understanding and support to a much disliked character. People would ponder why such a character as Cait Sith existed—was there really anything more to him than his (more than slightly) annoying personality and unreliable disposition? My tribute attempted to tackle this question, among others, and I hope that I've done so successfully. With the release of FFVII spin-offs, particularly one that starred the mastermind behind our goofy cat and mog duo, I've begun revamping the content to follow. Thus why Cryptic Puppet is in a state of disrepair.

	woodsiren
	Type: Character tribute Topic: Saria from Zelda: Ocarina of Time Opened: 2000
	Words cannot describe how earnestly I wanted to be a Kokiri when I was younger. To have my own fairy companion...! To gallivant about the woods without fear of getting lost..! To never grow up...! Yes, truth be known, I am Tingle in disguise. At the very least, this admission alone should paint the whys and what-have-yous for my creating this tribute. On a more serious note, this website is one of my personal favourites and evokes one heck of a nostalgic response in me. I promise to soon give it the attention it deserves by way of a new layout and completely revamped content.

	Type: Fanlisting Topic: Gunstar Heroes for the Sega Genesis Opened: 2007
	Anyone who knows me knows I consider Gunstar Heroes the MOST AWESOMEST, ULTIMATE MOCK ARCADE GAME EVARHH!!##$! I can and have spent millions of hours playing this damned game. I love it to bits. 16 bits. (*cough*) So, naturally, I wanted to create a website dedicated to it. And here it is! The approved fanlisting for this fantabular game. Join if you're a gunstar hero!!

	inbloom
	Type: Fanlisting Topic: Hanakimi by Hisaya Nakajo Opened: 2003
	Hanakimi, as it's called by fans, is one heck of a funny manga (and now at least two dramas). The story follows one Mizuki Ashiya on her journey to win the friendship of her idol, Izumi Sano. Two challenges befall her: he lives all the way in Japan (and she lives in America), and he attends an all-boys school. Well, neither stops our heroine! With her spunk and startling level of ingenuity, Mizuki makes the move to Japan and dresses in drag to get into the school. Thus follows a tale of humour, horror, wacky adventures and, ultimately, romance.

	Type: Fanlisting Topic: Rukawa Kaede from Slam Dunk Opened: 2002
	Ace high school basukettobaru player, sleep-fighter, part-time rival and all-around doahou, Rukawa Kaede has it all. Slam Dunk was one of the first manga I read, and I, like the schoolgirls that take up at least 67.34% of the population of Shohoku High, fell head over heels in obsession with the fox-faced prodigy. In an effort to rejuvenate the vanishing Slam Dunk fandom, I'm planning to expand this into a true dedication very soon. I mean, he deserves it. He's a hot piece. Even if he's a kitsune in disguise.

	souldiva
	Type: Fanlisting Topic: Pop and R&B sensation MISIA Opened: 2003
	When I first discovered MISIA's music, I was simply blown away. Her vocal range combined with background tracks inspiring a Motown R&B flavour was like a dream come true to mine ears. In recent years, I've made motions to extend the content of this fanlisting to her with the intention of turning it into a fansite.

	inspirationabove
	Type: Fanlisting Topic: Galaxies Opened: 2003
	I am a stargazer. I love stars in all their forms and as part of any cliquey grouping—but, above all, I love them best as members of galaxies. Galaxies are beautiful in their various forms and inspire in me a curiosity about the universe like nothing else.

	fatedcircle
	Type: Fanlisting Topic: The gunblades of FFVIII Opened: 2003
	I've never been one prone to violence, but I have no doubt that, if given a gunblade, I would be instantly inclined to brutality. So it's probably good that such an armament doesn't exist in reality. At least I can content myself in indirectly wielding these wonderful weapons through Squall and Laguna.

	Type: Webring Topic: Bubble tea Opened: 2002
	My unoriginally-named webring for webmasters who prefer the boba beveridge. Never as a child did I imagine I could like, let alone love, a drink that had solid matter floating around in it. I'll be forever grateful to the friend (who I have, of course, forgotten) that introduced me to bubble tea. My life just wouldn't be the same without it.

	Type: Webclique Topic: Stargazing Opened: 2002
	My obsession with the night sky above has carried me through thick and thin, provided endless inspiration for me, brought solace to me in times of strife and, more shallowy, granted my eyes a vision of beauty at the end of each and every day. Webmasters who feel the same or similar are encouraged to join and place their very own star on Stargazer's Map of the Universe.
