Introductions
1 Oct 2025 21:23Let’s get to know each other! :D Not sure what to say? Here are some ideas:
<b>Name:</b>
<b>Collective/Main site:</b>
<b>Latest finished project(s):</b> (site-related)
<b>Next project(s):</b> (outside of this event)
<b>Currents:</b> (any web stuff, a fandom you’re active in, a book you’re reading, things you’re trying out, recent life events etc.)
Note that if this DW community gets reused for future events, this post may be left as a sticky, so you may want to keep things general. (No fear, you'd always be welcome to reintroduce yourself!) For anything related to the event specifically, please use the regular checkpoint posts.

Date: 18 Oct 2025 07:43 (UTC)What Larissa pointed out about the Julia shrine's layout makes me think of Tumblr/pinterest moodboards... I know some people in the fansite scene use collage techniques for their layout, which I don't do myself, but aah, it had never occured to me this could be the way for subjects with few usable images (including low quality material, images you don't like, or hard-to-work-with images like screenshots)! How atmospheric.
Also just you wait, if we all stick around long enough, I will make shrines in German and join you........ I think that expressing my love in the language I feel most strongly in is particularly important in cases where I came to love a subject thanks to an excellent German translation. And then we shall make a directory for German fansites >:(! (It saddens me that the German fansite scene has seemingly died out.)
