Hi everyone!
Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2017 12:27 pm
I'm new to Amassment although I've been a fan of all your shrines and organization for years :D
Hi, my name is Janna and I'm 27 years old as we speak. I've been making graphics and creating designs and websites since 2006, which seems like a long time now that I look back I'm from Valencia (Spain) and I graduated University a year ago (Children Care and Education, I don't know if that's correct, the Spanish degree title is Magisterio Infantil which is how we get to teach 3 to 6 year olds at public schools in Spain :3)
I first started at livejournal, learnt how to create layouts and graphics and then created my first websites at freewebs! Omg how time goes by. I bought my own domain some time after and started getting into fanlistings mainly. Still not shrining. I used to think I wasn't good enough to create my own shrines. I thought I didn't have enough information or skills for some odd reason.
Then I remember I created a fansite for my favourite japanese band, Kagrra,. And that's where I started to shrine I guess! OH I also remember starting a Zack Fair shrine but never made it public because I was so intimidated
Currently, I'm working on a Ryo Hazuki (Shenmue) shrine, after building the fanlisting part of it :3 I also want to convert in shrines my Subvision and Ghost fanlistings because I'm a big Ghost and Tobias Forge fan and fjhdhfsd sorry. I don't want to fangirl just yet.
I plan on creating some shrines to my favourite videogames too! My favourite videogame of all time is Shenmue but, since I'm creating a shrine for it through Ryo, that's not planned. I don't want to say which games I'm shrining for right now, but I think they will be, at least, entertaining :D
Why did I join? I've been working on my site, fanlistings and network in general the past couple of months, more than I have in the past two years. I found myself thinking about websites, how they have gone kind of an unknown and underground thing lately (think about the boom they had years ago wow) and how social networks and youtube kind of killed them. Not the big, professional ones with lots of news, information and people contributing, but the small ones, shrines like ours made for the fun of it and as an excuse to design pretty things...
It made me really sad. I also thought about the rise and decline of fanlistings.
And then I visited Amassment and thought wait a moment, I never joined WHY. And here I am, trying to contribute to the shrining community and to share this hobby with you all! It feels so lonely by myself
I forgot to add that I'm a big youtube fan, I love discovering interesting channels and even have a vlog and a gameplay channel! They are in Spanish so you won't understand a thing if you don't know the language, but I thought it was an interesting fact!
So as you can see, I'm addicted to web designing, I'm a music lover, a movie enthusiastic and a videogame fan. Thanks for welcoming me to the community, I hope to make friends and contribute to this in some way
Edited to add: I forgot to say I'm a big Wrestling fan! xD So if any of you share this interest with me, I'll be happy to talk about that! (I doubt it but who knows!).
