This Site Has A Genuinely Ludicrous Number Of Pages.
It's the first birthday of my Final Fantasy VIII website today! Happy birthday, Balamb Garden.
I've had such a blast working on this site, writing down all my rambling thoughts about this game and then hiding them all over the place like a mad squirrel. Drawing stupid doodles, gradually uploading my terrible teenage fancomic, having conversations with myself on Garden Square. Watching everything become steadily more sprawling and unnavigable. It's deeply impractical, but I'm having a great time.
I'm really touched by the messages I've received on the guestbook! (The 'guestbook' is actually a Dreamwidth entry, because guestbook providers tend to have adverts, and I really want to keep this website advertisement-free.) I really thought this project would only be of interest to me and possibly my friends who are into Final Fantasy VIII; who's looking at personal websites in the mid-2020s? But apparently people have actually stumbled across and enjoyed it! I'm delighted.
Absolutely terrible thought I had recently: it would theoretically be possible to create a similarly structured fansite for Silent Hill. Wandering around the town, stumbling across all of my intense feelings about James Sunderland.
Please don't let me create this. I do not have the time or the psychological resilience to build an online replica of Silent Hill. I beg someone to steal this idea from me so I no longer have it in my hands.
