Then, I started working on my own Sailor Moon site called Platinum Hotaru, later Earth's Firefly. It was not launched until about 2001 and only lasted two years or so, but it was mostly neglected.
In the meantime, I did have other sites such as The Ultimate Anime Midi Realm. That was probably my most well-managed site. There were others, such as including a Ranma 1/2 general site, a Sakura (CCS) shrine, and an Inuyasha general site. All of them are now closed.
The Collectives
I first had a collective that was called the Anrui collective (meaning silent tears). Technically, it was also the Strawberry Sakura network and Tsunami network because I could never really make up my mind. It lasted about three versions, and then disappeared out of lack of interest.
On October 18, 2002, the Himawari network, my second collective, was launched. This one was much better taken care of and lasted about one and a half years. It evenually closed due to the fact that I got a domain, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have given it up. Despite the name meaning sunflowers, it was never very bright.
