I worked on a birthday present. I started this project in 2001, but finished it after seriously working for 2 years. It's my Bishoujo Sailormoon Manga Tarot Card Deck.<br /><br />You can find it here:<br /><a href="http://sailormoon.takeuchi-naoko.com/fun/tarot/" target="top">http://sailormoon.takeuchi-naoko.com/fun/tarot/</a><br /><br />I worked hard to make sure the meanings of the cards matched with the characters, etc. I followed certain rules and tried my best to preserve as much of Takeuchi-sensei's art as possible. I also emulated her style of coloring as closely as I could manage. It was really difficult, especially the descreentoning. Because I did this, it consumed most of the time away from remaking the website.<br /><br />2. I redid the front page design. I deleted the sections I can't take care of right now. I rather be responsible. I'll add games and other stuff later. Like quizzes.<br /><br />3. I posted some interviews with Takeuchi-sensei. They are very, very old, but I can't find them on the internet anymore. If anyone knows the whereabouts of said translators, please contact me, currently I couldn't find them, though I'm leaving credit up to them. My Favorite with Kia Asamiya is in the stack. It has things like <br />what pen and paper they like to use, influences, etc. You can find that here: <a href="http://sensei.takeuchi-naoko.com/essays.html">Takeuchi Naoko Essays and Interviews</a><br /><br />4. I enabled comments for passersby, but you have to type in the code to do so. I've turned on moderation as well. Feel free to leave comments on the blog.<br /><br />In the next week I'll try to do general clean up. I can't promise much because I'm dealing with a lot of personal problems right now. Also a heads up. I'll be gone in May. From May 2 to May 30th. I'll be getting pictures of the shrine that Takeuchi-sensei worked at. (Shiba Shrine). I'm going to leave the website with a temporary admin until I get back. They won't be able to do much, but they will be able to inform me of outages, hacking, etc.<br /><br />I want to open more sections too. I'll try to do that before May. (Especially since my Japanese has gotten decent enough to summarize manga).Hitsuji Kinnotag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5393391113193272610.post-10588095354622188182007-12-22T14:46:00.000-08:002007-12-29T10:20:34.198-08:00The other one was hard for me to upkeep. This one will be easier. =P. In addition I was having trouble with the includes, the blog software hadn't been updated in years. This one will be much easier to upkeep. And low and behold, Sailor Moon section will get one too, making it easier on Mako... I'll add in the previous updates into this post next... with the dates.<br /><br />I've been spending the last few months trying to crack the problem, and basically gave up. PHP5 conversion was rough.Hitsuji Kinno
