A
fanlisting is a place where fans of a particular subject, in this case the lovely
Alex of
valiantknife.org (formerly
astarael.net), can gather in support of that subject.
Bright Shiner was originally owned by Daphne, and was adopted by Paola. The layout uses cover artwork for Sabriel by Garth Nix. The Old Kingdom pwns j00. Pattern used in the layout was found at Hybrid Genesis.
For more about Alex, I do believe the authority on the subject would be Alex herself. Visit valiantknife and do some reading!
I've been dabbling in webdesign for the past seven years, and I can honestly say that for a vast majority of that time, Alex has been perhaps my biggest inspiration. I've been hanging around since her Cynical Athena days, and through the various domains she's owned as time has passed. I think I've spent most of my webdesign "career" being floored with envy at this girl's work. I remember that the summer I resolved to learn HTML, one of my main motivations to do so was wanting to someday be as amazing as Alex. Her collective is stunning and the writing is superb. There is attention to detail and always a pervading sense of style, always something uniquely Alex and impossible to replicate. She leaves her mark on everything she makes, which is something I have yet to be able to say about anyone else. I know I'm babbling, but still. I suppose the important thing to say is, I'm very ridiculously happy to have been chosen to adopt this fanlisting (thanks, Daphne!), because I've been a silly Alex fangirl since...forever. No exaggerations. And she's so nice! You know you want to join this listing...
