Kobyashi Maru - Isavarg's Collective and Indie Fanlistings
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2016 5:16 am
I've a few things to post here. A number of years ago, I ran some fanlistings, but I stopped running them for awhile because I had an illness and for a time afterwards, found I had difficulty concentrating, especially on things like code, and money was also tight, so I wasn't able to keep the sites going for a while. Now that I am feeling better, I've decided to bring them back. This was back in February this year and since then, I've been converting them to bellabuffs from having no php management script at all! The subjects I normally go for are science fiction and fantasy (mainly western stuff, as I'm not a fan of anime and manga.), animals/natural history and a few tv programs I like. I do try to make them more than just 'a fanlist' but I've not always been able to that because I've got to sort the coding, etc, out.
One final thing - I've also been working on a project for fanlistings which aren't listed at TFL, either because the subject is already taken, or because for some reason the owner decided they didn't want it listed there, called Indie Fanlistings. I hope people here will find it useful and the only rules to get a fanlisting listed is that they link back, do things with the website, (adding new link codes, graphics, etc, as well as looking after the list itself.) and making sure that the site is kept up. I also have a twitter account for the project to promote fanlistings that are listed in the directory.
Kobyashi Maru is my fanlisting collective, where all fls are run, joined, etc, are listed. I do need to make more link codes, though, as there isn't that many, but I've not had the time to do it yet.
Star Wars Fanlistings
Rogue Squadron I've liked Rogue Squadron for years, and wanted to make a fanlisting for them. Rogue Squadron started off as Red Squadron in a New Hope, and became known as Rogue Squadron in the Empire Strikes Back. I do need to do some work on this, though. More codes, the forum link needs updating, the affiliates need updating and I need to do some extra content for it.
Wedge Antilles Wedge is the leader of Rogue Squadron and has been since Return of the Jedi. He's one of my favourite characters in the Star Wars universe, despite the fact that he isn't a Jedi. (That's one of the reasons why I love Rogue Squadron too, because the characters show that they don't need to have special powers to make a difference.) There is some work that needs to be done on this and I'll get it done when I can.
Kyp Durron
Kyp Durron is an orphaned boy who the Empire sent to Kessel along with his parents and brother, Zekk, because his parents were suspected of sympathizing with the Rebel Alliance. His brother was forced to join the join the Imperial Academy on Carida (the same place that Han Solo went to during his brief stint in the Imperial Forces.) His parents died while in the mines and Kyp himself only managed to get when Han Solo and Chewbacca were captured and spent some time there while on a mission for the New Republic. It turns out that Kyp is force sensitive and he has a rather colourful time during his training to become a Jedi and afterwards. (I need to update the gallery on this one, as I don't like hosting pictures from third parties - they have a tendency to disappear/lose access to, so I'm going to be changing it.)
Star Trek Fanlistings
Worf
Worf is one of my favourite characters from Star Trek. If I had the time, I'd probably end up doing a fanlisting for all the the main characters from TNG, DS9 and Voyager, but I don't, sadly.
