Upcoming

This little page exists as a pensieve holding my ideas and plans for possible—or even probable—future websites. I'll be honest. I tend to be very bad at sticking to this list. I also have a terrible habit of starting things and then not finishing them. Nothing's set in stone here, but at least you'll have a good idea of what I might be up to. If that's in any way useful to you.

it's a secret Well, have Todd and I got one heck of a secret project in the works. It's so secret that pretty much anyone who talks to us knows about it or can guess what it is. So what? The best secrets are those which everyone knows about but are left unsaid anyway! We're almost done, too, which is very sad, as it was fun to have a well-known secret.

untitled After gushing with Victoria and others over the newly released fifth Harry Potter movie and the upcoming (and since released) final book, she came up with the spectacular plan of celebrating the series by creating a Harry Potter collective. It was difficult choosing a character, but once Tamisa suggested a collaborative project dedicated to Snape, I had to get in on it. And so, we two are working on a super-massive-ultimate tribute to our favourite Prince at this very moment.

untitled I've always wanted to create some sort of fansite having to do with Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. It's just such a fantastic trilogy with a wicked cast of characters. After much discussion with Todd about the sad lack of fansites dedicated to bookish things, I was inspired to remedy the situation. Originally this was going to be a dedication solely to Pantalaimon, but I decided that since he and Lyra are basically the same, I'd include her as well. I can be considerate.

untitled It should be known that I have a thing for self-centered, flame-haired jerks. Especially those who metamorphosise into selfless and somewhat suicidal heroes. Luke fone Fabre's Bildungsroman is striking, infuriating, affecting and, ultimately, believable. I have much to say about his character and hope to quite soon.

untitled Another red-haired brute I can't help but love. The reason why I love Asch's character is the reason why I love Snape's character: neither get their due, though both loose much and sacrifice much and, you find, are generally entitled to their uncouth behaviour and pessimistic dispositions after all.

untitled Given the sad state of affairs of the online Chrono Trigger fandom (and the very minor beseeching of my dear affiliate Alex) I'm thinking of paying a tribute to a character from the SNES classic. I'm not yet sure which character the tribute will be dedicated to, though. I'm leaning towards Marle, but I'm also quite fond of Robo, so we'll see whom captures my interest during the next play-through of the game.

amerchantofendor Taloon has got to be the coolest dude around. I've been working for years on a fansite dedicated to him. For some reason I haven't been able to complete it. Recently, I've been playing through the game while attempting to build my Dragon Warrior IV collective (see below), and of all the characters, I've focused on the one most obviously worthy (Taloon). I can't wait to unleash his awesomeness on you all.

zenithenaeum Dragon Warrior IV is one of my most beloved games. For me, it's beyond a game: it's a sprawling, interactive fable that deserves much more attention then it's had. This upcoming fansite will focus on the narrative elements of the game, rather than the gameplay. In future, I may integrate in depth character shrines for each of the main characters.

prodigy Sadly, lack of moolah forced me to skip one generation of Nintendo lovelies. After getting my hands on a Wii, I've finally been able to start playing all of the GameCube RPGs I missed out on over the years. I was always a fan of Tales of Phantasia (the first of the Tales of series by Namco for the SNES) and decided to pick up Tales of Symphonia on a whim. Boy was a glad! And I have to say what made my gaming experience was the characters, particularly the haughty and adorable Genis Sage. A fansite for this brat is in the works.

kashinfuu Pretear is one of my all-time favourite series. In many ways I identify with the heroine, Awayuki Himeno, and totally envy her relationship with Hayate. Both are solid, strong characters in their own right, and I found the build up of their relationship completely captivating. Kashinfuu, nicknamed "hayahime" (hayate + himeno) will be a triple threat, made up of a fansite for Himeno, Hayate and the tale of their romance. I'm working on integrating a unique narrative navigation and hope to have the website up and running soon.

morríghan Midna was the best damn part of Zelda: Twilight Princess. She made the game. Unlike Navi and Tatl before her, Midna was more than a sidekick character whose role in the game moved beyond a personified help system. To avoid spoilers, I shall say no more here. Know that a website dedicated to her is in the works.

untitled I've been meaning to create a fansite for Nabooru and the Garudos of Zelda:OoT for a few years now, and just never got around to it. Next to Saria, Nabooru is my favourite Sage, and the Garudos are, hands down, my favourite Zelda race thus far. A replay of the game is in order before starting work on this website.
