Small Web September Kick-Off/Check-In 1: Goals!

[enchantedsleeper]

Somehow it's September already and the kick-off point for Small Web September has arrived! \o/

As a reminder, this is the first of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on them all or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but all discussion is welcome.

This first post will be for introducing yourself and your project(s) and talking about what you’re planning to do during the month. Of course, there’s no obligation to stick to what you’ve set down and no-one will be checking up xD But it can be a nice thought exercise! You’re free to make the goal(s) as broad or as specific as you like – it’s totally up to you.

There’s no set format for this check-in, but here’s one you can use if you’d like (just copy-paste and replace the placeholders with your own answers in the comments):

<strong>Name:</strong> (Username, nickname, whatever you like to go by)
<strong>Project(s):</strong> (Share a link to your project(s) if you’d like to, and/or describe what you’re making or would like to make!)
<strong>What are you hoping to work on for SWS?</strong> (This can be as general as “add to my site”, or as specific as “archive X fanworks” or “implement a responsive layout”. You could even include ‘bonus goals’ – more ambitious things you’d like to get to if you have time!)

Also, if anyone would like to answer it, here’s a discussion starter: What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?

Name: Mitzy (or any of my 90 different usernames)

Project(s): Yukari Takeba shrine

What are you hoping to work on for SWS? The shrine up there is actually the reason of why I started coding! Unafortunely, it has been 2 years gathering dust. Then I told myself "I will wait until I play P3RE to refresh my memory on the game & start writting it", which still haven't happened (anyone got a spare PS5?)
So my goal is to finally get around to work on it again! My goal is more focused on writting (which I find very hard) rather than coding as I already have the layout done, but a page is a page.
At the very least I would like to finish the "Persona analysis", "Story" "Relationship" and "Why I like her" sections which are the ones I find the most important as the point of the shrine is to explain why she is one of my favortie characters, and try to make others appreciate her as well.

I really love the layout of your shrine, it's so pretty! Best of luck with working on it this month!

Thanks you! I can't take full credit on the layout though as it's based on a official mock-up blog they made for her in a fanbook, I only made some color/image changes :)

xD I definitely relate to the desire to wait until the "perfect moment" to begin/resume work on something, or at least the tendency to think you need certain conditions to be met before you can start xD But I'm sure you'll have a ton of things to put down even if you haven't played in a while.

I think it's very cool that you've made a shrine for a character who's not as appreciated within the fandom! It looks really nice, too ^^

Haha yeah, though for me is a partial necessity since I got memory problems and need to fill many blanks I got on the game. Guess I will have to stuck with liveblogs of the og game o7
