Name: Lene
Collective/Main site: The Story of the Moon

Latest finished project(s): I recently changed my main site's layout to version 4! Some pages were slightly rewritten to be less casual and more refine.

Next project(s): I am working on a shrine for my Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy XIV, of the meadow.
It will be, is, a love letter to an OC that I never knew would inspire, change, and move me so much.

Currents: I'm participating at the arts & craft show my workplace holds bi-annually. The next one will be in November, so I'm working on several bookbinding projects to showcase and sell! It's a super casual event and all skills are welcome!

I recently became a first time homeowner this past June and there are still many things in boxes. I am slowly unboxing and decorating my new place as much as I can in-between gaming, other hobbies, and errands :)

I'm so excited to hear you're making a site for your WoL! I had so much fun making one for my WoLs and I'd love to see more sites by XIV players in particular — there's such a great wealth of things you can put in an XIV site. (Also, aetheryte.org is such a great name choice!!) Very excited for your event sign-up as well :D

I feel what you mean about unboxing and decorating — I moved last year and I'm still not done unpacking 😱 But when you get your space looking just the way you want it, there's no comparison.

I always loved people's sites and pages on their Ragnarok Online characters waaaay back in the day (not sure about other MMORPGs, probably WoW at most), even though it was all "just" pixel sprites without much customization. It's lovely how there is so so much more one can enjoy in modern MMORPGs and FFXIV in particular now. I hope more and more people make their WoL sites despite not being into FFXIV myself!! Feels like reading adventure logs and browsing photobooks of friends. :D

Finding sites and reading about people's characters or OCs has been really nice. I see and love the dedication <3 Growing up, I was scrutinized to even entertain the idea of OCs, so now as an adult and coming across sites and dedications people have for their characters (WoLs included), has been a joy! And I'm forever inspired.

"Adventure logs" has such a lovely ring to it !

Hello! Apologies for the late response ;__;
I remember visiting your WoLs' website while back. I had to tread carefully though because I was still pretty new to the world of FFXIV and didn't want to catch too much spoilers! Now that I've spent much more time with the game and a better understanding of the game's lore, I am revisiting it now :D

I was so excited when I saw your Ardbert sign-up! He is one of my favorite characters in the game <3

Thank you! I'm also really excited to see your site — I'm surprised by all of the XIV signups, but I'm thrilled at the prospect of having so many new sites to visit!
