Sites

This is very much the heart of the site and network. Here you will find the various sites that I own and maintain. I used to have quite the collection of fansites, and fanlistings too (I've since quit fanlistings though). If I kept every single fansite and fanlistings I ever created, I'd have almost thirty fansites and a hundred fanlistings! But interests change and shift around -- I'm sorry if I closed a site of mine that you liked and wanted to stay open -- and well, here are the ones that I just haven't the heart to toss away.

BLOGS: In the recent year, I've become something of a blog addict, ever since I axed my LiveJournal account. I launched two extra blogs, in addition to the one I already owned, in the same year and I've still some ideas for other blogs I want to run ...

http://x.royal-hours.net 5:09 AM is my personal blog where I rant and ramble about things ... and stuff ...

http://books.royal-hours.net PAPERHEARTS is my book blog where I write reviews/my opinions on books I've read.

http://sims.royal-hours.net DOLLHOUSE is my Sims blog where I write 'Sim stories'. I'm kind of addicted to Sim drama.

FANSITES: Fansites are the first kind of sites I've made, and I still enjoy making them as well as visiting other peoples'. The sites below are sort of in an archived state; I no longer update them regularly, except maybe to give it a facelift every once in a while.

http://tidus.royal-hours.net DREAM IMAGE opened in 2003 and is my fansite for Tidus from the video game Final Fantasy X. It is my first fansite ever and is still standing!	http://garnet.royal-hours.net WHISPER opened in 2004 and is dedicated to my favourite character Garnet from the game, Final Fantasy IX.	http://ashe.royal-hours.net LAMENT STORY opened in 2007 and is about Final Fantasy XII's Princess Ashe. I consider this the best FF fansite I've made to date (arguable?)
http://fuuchi.royal-hours.net SONATA opened in 2007 and is pretty much my undying love for Fuuko & Ichi's relationship (from the manga Parfait Tic!) in website form.	http://phoenix.royal-hours.net CHECKMATE opened in 2008 and is my dedication to who I personally find quite charming, Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney Nintendo DS game series.	http://roxas.royal-hours.net ZERO opened in 2006, closed in 2008 and reopened in 2010. It is my dedication to Roxas, from Kingdom Hearts and is still undergoing a lot of content checks.
http://cloud.royal-hours.net ASTRAY opened in 2010 and is dedicated to Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy VII, one of my most favourite characters in any form of fiction.

Ideas

To be honest, I don't even know why I bother to have a section of "plans for future sites". I've never really actually done anything on this list. It's partly because I'm lazy, partly because I always find something else to do and partly because school is a monster that devours all my time. Nevertheless, I have this list because its existence makes me feel guilty and maybe that will be motivation for me to make these sites ... one day ...

• VALOR: I'm kicking around an idea to make a site for Zack Fair ... we'll see. I actually maintained a site for Zack a few years ago for a couple of months, but because at the time I wasn't planning on buying myself a PSP (to play Crisis Core which is, I feel, crucial to Zack's character and story because it's his game), I scrapped the site. I have a PSP now and have played Crisis Core so we'll see what happens.
• TIFA LOCKHEART: Also entertaining the idea of making a site for Tifa. I love Tifa, she is a character that I feel inspired by (and though I love a lot of female characters, there's very few I can say I'm inspired by!) She is able to pull off being a kick-ass take-no-nonsense female character without sacrificing her feminine side, which is awesome.
• AQUA: Okay, I haven't played Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep yet, but I am already in love with Aqua ... so once I play the game, maybe I'll make something for her too??
