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.

It is always a joy to read that people have plans to give their old and well-loved shrines a makeover sometime soon! Layout marathons are fun because they may give participants an opportunity to go over the content of their sites if they're already giving it a new look, but I was quite fond of dedicated shrine revamp events as well. I hope there will be an opportunity for something like that again.

I saw you mention your new Queen Millenia fanlisting in your update log (love the colour scheme of the layout!) and it reminded me it's a work I've been meaning to check out for the longest time, and Leiji Matsumoto's works in general. …Wow, as I'm checking out licenses while typing this, I found out a German hardcover edition of the Queen Millennia manga is going to be published in December :O! If I can figure out whether this spin-off can be read before the other series, I'll pick it up then. :D Thanks for the introduction on your fanlisting!

Ahh, thank you so much! I’ve actually never been part of those events myself, but I’ve always loved seeing the energy and creativity they brought out in the community. The idea of revamp marathons or dedicated shrine events sounds so inspiring (maybe something like that will come around again one day?)

I'm so happy you checked out the Queen Millennia fanlisting! And wow, I had no idea about the German hardcover release in December. Thank you for pointing that out! That’s incredibly exciting, especially since Leiji Matsumoto’s works can be a bit scattered when it comes to availability. I totally get the hesitation with where to start. Queen Millennia can stand on its own, but knowing a bit about the broader Matsumoto universe (especially Galaxy Express 999) definitely adds some depth. Either way, I hope you enjoy it if you decide to dive in. And thank you for the lovely comment!
