About the Website

I was looking on the Sailormoon Worst of Web, specifically the best of the month feature, and I thought, "Wow I'm going to work hard on a site so my webpage can make it on here."

That's how my first webpage, which was a novice-looking one, came about. It was taken down recently, although it was up for a while over at http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Harbor/6271/smoonindex.html. It took me hours and hours, and was a great project for learning HTML, and getting the understanding and feel of it. Anyways, that was July of '98. I lost AOL for a while, stopped updating, etc., and I didn't care about the page anymore. It started to really suck in my opinion. So for a few months I wasn't really working on anything. Anyways, during Winter Break, specifically the days before Christmas of '98, I got this marvelous new idea. Why not make a webpage dedicated to Sailormoon? After all, she was my second favorite senshi (after Mars, and next to Venus) and she was an interesting character. Then I thought it would be cool to do a double-shrine to Moon and Chibimoon A few hours later I decided it should be called "moon crisis" after the double-henshin with the two. Anyways, it somewhat phases in and out of Chibichibi, because in the anime she isn't really related, although in them manga she is. The main layout took about a week to perfect... and even then it still didn't work on some browsers. And then planning everything else was a nightmare. So I stopped production until I got fansubs, a capture card, more manga, and the 5th artbook and continued over Mid-Winter break in February, finishing the first three shrine sections. Over Spring Break I did minor work, and I totally stopped working on the website until the summer of '99. It's finished with the main layouts... A Serenity page is obviously needed, but it hasn't even gone through pre-production yet.

As for the whole thought of my webpage... it's a mixture of anime, manga, and dub. DiC dub. Personally I think too many Sailormoon fans get riled up over the dub, like it's a matter of life or death. Sailormoon isn't my favorite anime, so... I could care less about the dub. I've tried to be accurate in my pictures, as it's very obvious from reading the information sections.

The dub sections were taken out August 2000, due to the fact that there were new episodes, and I didn't really have time nor the desire to watch them. Perhaps if I get caught up they'll up in a different form someday. On another note, this site received a major overhaul around the same time.

As for some interesting information, Pluto's multimedia section takes up the most space. Michiru's section on merchandise takes up the second most space, because of the large graphics, followed by Mars' shrine. The least amount of space goes to Jupiter, who will remain at 9 KB. (This is on Tripod's server though, figure another few KB's for everything at Dreambook.)

The easiest section to make was Jupiter's section. The hardest section to make was Mars' section or Pluto's section, because of the endless searching through tapes, capturing, spine-bending manga scanning, etc.

As for the old layouts.... they're still up. You can find version 1.0 here, while version 2 is up here.
