I honestly didn&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d ever feel like making anything creative ever again. I also struggled with HOW to do this site; it kept suffering from &#8220;wiki-itis&#8221; as I simply retyped horrible boring lists of basic info I found in my research. I often felt trapped somewhere between &#8220;informing viewers ABOUT the world&#8221; and &#8220;using the info to ANALYZE the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thus, this little site would not be possible without the aid of these fine folks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/raygunsue.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sophia<\/a> (superpowered beta reader)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/zeruda.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Crystal<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/nyx.zone\/\" target=\"_blank\">nyxmidnight<\/a> (formatting specialists)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/eternal-wings.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chibi<\/a> &#038; <a href=\"http:\/\/genrou.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wolfrun<\/a> (cheerleaders extraordinaire)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With their help, I was finally able to break out of &#8220;wiki-itis&#8221; and create a fitting tribute to the world of Animal Crossing, with full-bodied descriptions, analyses, and even the use of music in unexpected ways. It blossomed nearly overnight, from an embarrassment to something approaching a magnum opus. It&#8217;s not just a site about Animal Crossing&#8217;s world anymore, but a site about our OWN world, too, by extension&#8230;I&#8217;m still amazed that any of this came out of my head when my brain cells have been so scattered! But as with most of my sites, this was truly a group effort and I&#8217;m so happy I tried this. &hearts; &hearts; &hearts;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow&#8217;s Calling about the world of Animal Crossing This site was a HUGE challenge for me to accomplish, especially with all the heartache of my mother&#8217;s worsening illness over the last year, culminating in her passing in April.
