I agree with Destinie. I've been inspired by a lot of sites too but code my layouts myself and use different images, colors, etc. I think we've all been inspired by the things we've seen at some point.

The one shrine that got me into making them, or coding for that matter, was Tea's Sesshoumaru site, The Killing Perfection, that I stumbled upon in 2003. I told her this too that if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have found my love for web designing and was going to college to get a certificate.

Thankfully I didn't make her flee since she was happy that I told her this and wished me luck :D

A little bit actually. ^-^ I was gonna name it "Butterfly" in the beginning but Saya already had a Butterfly. Then I was like Caterpillar cause Watanuki is like one. Like one of those fuzzy cute ones.


@Destinie: Thank you so much. I think I will do that if it comes to that. Second opinions are great. Thank you.

This is cheesy but my sister Samantha really influenced me to start webdesign. I used to watch her play video games and watch anime and I fell in love with the games and shows as well. Over time of watching her create small sites to Kari from Digimon, etc, I knew I wanted to join in and that is definitely what got me started. The bonding time between the two of us also pushed it along. Now a days I find myself motivated by sites that have a lot of media. I feel like media sections make me interested, and lots of pictures on information sites. xD
please know that i am yours to keep, my beautiful girl.

So many sites that have influenced me and old and gone, haha. The biggest one was a domain called aftershock.org I think? It had a bunch of Zelda shrines, including one to Link called Fairy Boy. I admired that collective so much. Another site that inspired me was DoubleNegative, which I'm happy to see is still alive. It's remained a thorough and creative shrine and one I consider to be a model fansite. And I'll always remember finding Alex and Aeryvae's domains back in the day and being completely wowed by their designs (and I still am!), which inspired me to be creative with my own shrine layouts and content.

Michelle: I always thought that your designs had something in them that is also in Alex's designs, so this explains it! It's a good thing when inspiration sources show through, it means that you've caught the "spirit" of what appeals so much to you and adapted it to your own style. (If I am making any sense?)
