Site Information:
The YYH
Fanfiction Bookstore started way way back in the early 90's (about 1994 or
so) by a girl new to the Internet, and just becoming acquainted with anime.
Impressed with the large amounts of fanfiction circulating the web regarding
her first favorite anime series ever, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, she decided to create
her own site, offering other fanfic writers a chance to display their own
fanfics on her page. To her great delight, it had a strong following, and
continues to be one of the best YYH fanfic sites on the Net today!
The
Bookstore was officially set up on Geocities; upon starting, it housed only
three fanfiction, and all of it its maintainer's. It has so far gone through
three evolutions; the first layout was designed when the maintainer had no
idea what HTML meant, and had a lot of kinks and broken links. The second
layout improved somewhat; using frames to navigate and adding a message
board for better fic reader and writer interaction. Deciding that the frames
version would give visitors a harder time, the maintainer has now opted for
the current non-frames version with new graphics, a new message board
courtesy of ezboards, and hopefully, a
more compatible site for more visitors. The counter has been reset on
January 1, 2000, due to the fact that the old counter blew up (to the
maintainer's dismay and joy). Though more accustomed to making frames pages,
this maintainer hopes that the current layout is a good one.
The
Bookstore requires an 800x600 browser, preferably Internet Explorer 4 and
up, as the maintainer has no idea how it looks like in Netscape. Mild java
was used in the page, and all graphics were done using Adobe Photoshop 5.0.
The layout was done using a mix of Microsoft Frontpage and Notepad.
Thanks to
you all for your continuous support!
