I'm so sorry for getting back to everyone so late...!
I completely forgot about this topic and the last month has been a dizzy, spinning mess. But I'm here now. Pre-emptive thanks for all your kind words!
@Megan A: Thank you so much! :D I still can't believe it's finished. I hope you enjoy the games when you do get round to them!
@Larissa: BRO... BRO... I HAD NO IDEA THIS tl;dr EXISTED, BRO, BUT AHH. AHHHHH. Unexpected Farrons tl;dr.
Bro. sends tl;dr back, always down for XIII thoughts
Ah man, I had no idea the fan arrangement was blocked - I know the singer is British, so that probably explains why. I'll look into it to see if it's been uploaded anywhere else. I'm wary about embedding songs sourced right off my domain, but I know I've done it before on tumblr via dropbox or something?? So I'll have a look into that (I did link them in the meantime though, haha). Thank you for the suggestion!
For my images, I think it's a case of how my layout operates. I like to have the subject be static intstead of scrolling away (which is funny given the site I just finished, but I digress), so less is more in that case. For Serah, it was highlighting her beats that needed a visual, or to actually, y'know, show an image of the relationship I was talking about, because it's easier to picture what's going on. Other times it's just a case of splitting up content. IDK I ENJOY USING IMAGERY IN SHRINES even though I've cut back a lot from my Kairi days with an image on every page because it takes... so... long.
I JUST NEED A SUMMONING GAME ALA THE MOBILE GAMES WITH SERAH SUMMONING MOG, okay, that's all I want, that's all I need, c'mon Square you didn't give me a wedding at least give me this.
(and thank you again for all the help!! always great to have a partner in xiii crime.
)
make the sister and i'll make the not sister and the triad of pink haired girls will be complete... i mean wait what
@Tara: Thank you, Tara! I'm glad it makes sense to those unfamiliar with the later games, and I'm always happy to find more people who like Ms. Bailey. Those are two of my favourite pages too, I love ranting about Serah breaking so many walls and being such a strong protagonist. Always my favourite thing to explore.
@Megan: It's very satisfying! :D Especially since it's the first I've knuckled down and finished in such a long time <3 Thank you, Megan!
@Samantha: No worries, I'm just as late replying back |D And thank you! Gently pushes you towards the games in the meantime
@Todd: Thank you, Todd! :)
@Destinie: Thanks for the birthday wishes! I really wanted to get it up for my birthday and I so often break these types of goals to myself, to actually have achieved it the day before was lovely. And I'm super glad you like what you see so far! I hope you enjoy the rest when you get to it. :D
@Lethe: oh gosh Lethe, this is such a detailed response and I'm incredibly happy (and grateful) to see it? Knowing someone has gone through everything and to share what they like is super amazing, ahhhhh. And it's always high praise to hear someone likes how I write! ;_; Thank you for the detail!
(and to mention this first, thank you for pointing out all those minor mistakes. I have a habit of changing my mind mid-sentence, or missing out connecting words once I get into a groove - and I repeatedly miss them as when I read it again, my brain insists these words are there. So this is very helpful, I shall go through and make these changes soon.
)
gosh I wish I could reply to everything, but it'd mostly be me being flustered by praise and delight and repeating what you've said to me back to you, so know that reading this has given me a lot of great insights and will be something to look at when I'm floundering about in whichever project I tackle next.
I'm so happy to know that XIII fans are also enjoying this site. c: and yessss.... bring all your serah love to me, serah, serahh
I'm definitely going to be looking into linking in Serah's themes on page (see above!), and I'll make this a priority as I gloss over for improvements! And possibly link it from the index so others can listen whilst browsing, we'll see what works best.
I'm crossing my fingers hard for Kairi to have at least a moment of greatness :c and if she doesn't I'll just have to finally get round to more FF games to fill the callback page with more ladies that have a better time with it, or future ones. Writing about Yuna and Serah was a treat, but I'm sure there's more out there.
AGAIN, I'm so glad you've enjoyed all the parts of this site.
And I'm definitely planning to write more shrines (sweats about the Fire Emblem one) since it's a hobby I'm enjoying much more as it keeps my writing sharp, so there will be more in the future. ;) there's a list for this year, we'll see if I get through it?!
