Let’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.

Name: Star
Collective/Main site: dreamesque.net

Latest finished project(s): I recently completed my first ever fanlistings! HUNTR/X (Kpop Demon Hunters), Saja Boys (Kpop Demon Hunters), Concerned Ape (Stardew Valley Game Designer) (Game Music), Stardew Valley OST, Fields of Mistria (Video Game). They were all approved at the same time, so it was a challenge to get 5 completed in a month where work was intense and my eldest sister had just broken her foot so I was babysitting my nieces & nephew almost everyday.

Next project(s): My fanlisting collective itself, Nebuluna, is still under construction despite the layout having been completed before my other fanlistings. (It actually features the character of my shrine topic, Shuri from A Stepmother's Marchen). I hope to complete it within this month. I've submitted applications for other potential fanlistings that I have not heard back from yet, other than being approved for Gachiakuta and Blue Eye Samurai (both protagonists, Rudo and Mizu respectively, were close contenders for the subject of my shrine).

Currents: The medical field is relentless when it comes to certifications, so I'm currently studying for one of my board exams. I've also been struggling with some unexplained chronic illnesses, so I'm trying to get that under control.

STAR. I stumbled upon dreamesque.net a few weeks ago, immediately sent a link to Larissa and texted "wow I wish I were half as creative when it comes to design" lmfao. Its layout contains modern CSS and at the same time brings back and embodies the aesthetic I fell in love with in this corner of the web!! I can't wait to see you fill the site!! (And I hope I get the opportunity to make a colourful layout sometime in the next years, they always make me so jelly, but maybe my creative visions are just subdued in colour and that's all I get for my own sites!!!)

AND YOUR FL COLLECTIVE, which I hadn't seen before, IT GIVES ME... otome game vibes!! It's the feeling when I watch an otome game opening or explore the game's interface across the different menu points for the first time, which is all sparkly sparkly flowery flowery dokidoki + PURE MAGIC AND TRUE LOVE THE ONE AND ONLY IN THIS UNIVERSE, with colours and animations that pop and flow, and careful compositions that make a harmonious whole, and it feels like it's cheese specifically made to make your lil heart leap... Anyway, I was a ball of happiness after clicking on the link.

Your fanlistings are likewise created with such love and radiant creativity, and have so much personality! (It's incredible you made it all in a month omfg.) It's genuinely joyful and inspiring to see how much fun you have with your sites, especially the range of modern CSS, all the more so as I don't know how to do half of it! Welcome back to this part of the web!! :D

(I'm sorry to hear about the illnesses, and wish you all the best with the ongoing medical tests. And I hope all the site-making and this event make for a good balance with your studying!)
