Random Anime Birthday: Blanka (Street Fighter 2)

Yes, I’m desparate. (Blanka’s scary. Don’t like the… er… -_-;)

Anyway, it’s really interesting the kinds of sites your tracker will point you to. I mean, you get your usual google searches, other weird search engine searches, people you’ve exchanged links with, sites which are crediting you, and well…. seemingly random sites (which have you linked because the webmaster probably stumbled onto your site by accident and liked it.)

I was going through the tracker for my {{link http://kyuui.nu/~majesty Queen Serenity shrine}}. (I do this on occasion, when I feel like I’ve forgotten something.) I read down the list of links–I recognize most of them. Except… near the bottom… there are links from the {{link http://www.princessserena.com/ princessserena.com domain}}, which I’ve never heard of. And because I like to find out who is kind enough to link me, I click on the link.

It’s a credits page.

A credits page crediting me for the inspiration of a layout.

My curiosity is aroused. I check out the main page. Three sites are linked. I click one. Wrong site. Door number two leads to {{link http://www.princessserena.com/index1.html Inu Trader}}. Inu Trader, Version Majesty. Hmm.

The layout is obviously based off mine; the code is not copied. And she does give me credit for inspiration, so I’m really not upset about it. I do wish the owner had given me an email letting me know, at least.

And, er, isn’t imitation the highest form of flattery? I quote: “Her work is very inspiring to me…

@_@ Wow. I inspire people. I feel so… Wow.

(Is that a real gun? <~~ [One Acts joke.])
