This site was a HUGE challenge for me to accomplish, especially with all the heartache of my mother's worsening illness over the last year, culminating in her passing in April. I honestly didn't know if I'd ever feel like making anything creative ever again. I also struggled with HOW to do this site; it kept suffering from "wiki-itis" as I simply retyped horrible boring lists of basic info I found in my research. I often felt trapped somewhere between "informing viewers ABOUT the world" and "using the info to ANALYZE the world."
Thus, this little site would not be possible without the aid of these fine folks:
- Sophia (superpowered beta reader)
- Crystal & nyxmidnight (formatting specialists)
- Chibi & Wolfrun (cheerleaders extraordinaire)
