Shirasade.Net

Nostalgia

A nostalgic look at the domains I cut loose. Because they're all in my heart still.

just-in-dreams.com. Opened January 22, 2002. My very first domain, where I created my first fanfiction archive. I just wasn't really doing anything with it anymore, so I gave it to the lovely Groovekittie.

chocolatedream.net. Opened May 21, 2003. The second domain I bought. Home of my blog and travel log. The first website I officially shared with the world, including my parents. :)

crickhollow.net. Opened December 5, 2003. Making my love for The Lord of the Rings public with this cozy hobbit hole. I'm still very fond of the John Howe layout I created for it.

raspberry-kisses.net. Opened March 6, 2004. I never quite knew what to do with this domain, so I used it as a collective although shirasade.net was already sort of serving that purpose. But I had thought about a raspberry-themed domain for a long time, because raspberries always bring back warm childhood memories of summers in my grandmother's house. It was taken over by Jessica.

thebookshelf.org. Opened August 17, 2004. I just really wanted something book-themed, and I had this idea for a big book rec website. That never took off, but I still like the idea of a website like a giant bookshelf... It was taken over by Thuri.

pen-and-paper.net. Opened October 26, 2004. This domain was born when I moved to DreamHost and was offered a free domain. I still think it's a beautiful name, and it was a pity that all I could think of doing with it was make it the home of my fanfiction archive... It was taken over by Siobhan.
