The Impossible Dream

Post by Robin »

Sssssmokin! Somebody stop me! I just released The Impossible Dream, my Olaf shrine that kept growing and growing until it became as unusual as my Elsa shrine! (It's only 32 days ahead of schedule, no big. Is this what it feels like to be productive?? :O)

(also, points for you if you got the horribly-90s reference above)

Oh em gee, I love it! You explore Olaf's character in so many ways and do a wonderful job of proving that he is more than comic relief. I've seen people pass him off as only being that, and/or being annoying, but you show just how important and positive he really is. :) I enjoyed the Biblical page a lot, as well as the one on Don Quixote. Even before I got to that page, in fact as soon as I saw the site's title, "The Impossible Dream" started playing in my head. XD

Great work!! Again I have to ask if you'd like to affy with Warmth in Winter? :)

@Nyx: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! :D (was really surprised I finished it this soon--I was feeling pretty stuck on it for a little bit there ^_^;)

@Sarah: Awesome! *shiny happy dance* "The Impossible Dream" was the song that kept coming back to mind as I brainstormed the shrine, so I finally decided "Why not do a Quixotic page too?" (I also had to look up how to pronounce that xD) Glad you enjoyed the pages and the character exploration. I've seen it said somewhere that Olaf pretty much MAKES the movie, and I definitely agree.

Also, I added your affy link :D :D At this rate, we're gonna have an Amassment Frozen Collective! (Or should that be a Frozen Amassment Collective? xD)

This is very original and well written. I hope the creative and personal touch you've been giving your shrines.

I read through this and I really like it! I love your approach to your Elsa shrine, as well! I like reading about how the character relates to you or your feelings! Shrines definitely don't have to be done in a certain way and I like how you have made this one really personal!
