ok i made one and i completely hated it

I used to have a page of favorite manga but since that didn't get updated often I'm sort of settled on doing reviews on blogs. Not the same thing though. I'm using spreadsheets for tracking things like manga and other media I've read

Goodreads has book tracker widgets for websites - maybe you could make a manga shelf to track your manga reading and add that to your site!

@pixelglade my book page looks like that too, totally outdated, but i'm keeping it up until the day i get back to reading regularly. spreadsheets are a great idea, but i want something more aesthetic, y'know?

@infinite-dreams i used to have a goodreads but i'm in a no-social-media era heheh that's why i thought it'd be a good idea to bring it to neocities instead of signing up somewhere else

@hitokage 100% valid. I do like reading other people's pages so I hope to see yours if/when you finally make it

My favorite manga (and anime) pages still exist through the internet archive if you wanted to have a look https://web.archive.org/web/20221217172311/https://pixelglade.net/misc/favorites/favmanga.html

@pixelglade omg kabi nagata mentioned!!! loved that one too. also your page made me realize i totally forgot to add a favorites section lmao

aaaaa obrigada!!!

Might need to make a clique page just for this hehe... Thank you!

nice!! I joined it!! it reminds me of this -> https://web.archive.org/web/20241216145308/https://jubiland.neocities.org/cliques#sanrioluvr

thank you both!! @evilperson can't wait to see your page hehe and @vanillamilkshake yesss i loved that one too

I love this! so many different quotes and perspectives. I've always had a hard time with the idea that the reason people write is to be read by others. I think that's too much of a blanket statement. The only person I'm writing for is me and my future self, but sharing it so that I articulate myself better

and if anyone identifies with what I have to say I'm ecstatic but the reason I do it is to process and understand things, which I have a hard time doing without writing. but it's very cool to see different perspectives and I hope you find your way!

I write a lot of fanfiction, and part of the experience is a lot of writing into the void, with no indication it'll be appreciated or even be read by others. The important thing new fanfiction writers learn is to write for yourself, and if other people like it, it's a nice bonus!

i loved reading both of your takes, @maxcrunch and @infinite-dreams! it's super validating to see others treating writing like a personal process. and i totally agree, if others resonate, that's a bonus, not the goal. thanks for sharing your thoughts <3

microblog methinks...

@moekkis i need to think about it more but thanks for the idea
