Now, if you go looking into some tamora Pierce websites (there's quite a few) you'll notice one thing that stands out in all of them. They're all the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sure, you have different layouts and maybe a few variations in the info, but it's still realatively the same. Join the queen's riders, character info, book summaries, the same pics of the books on the book summaries. fan fics. fan art. the "alanna is my hero" thingie. all on your typical tp (tamora pierce) website.
Can't we be original peoples?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've seen the same fanart on some of the sites. YOU may think that your site is so cool because it's yours and you made it and YOU put effort into it, but COME ON!!!!!!!! we all have a wonderful little thing called creativity that can be used to make a unique and memerable website.
Originality is what draws people to a site, not a cool name, etc. The graphics may be neat, but they take a long time to load. I'm sure that some people copy the character info out of the books anyways. It only takes a little more effort to make a site that people will remember and come back to.
Think about it, if all these web-hosts were artists, they'd be copying each other's work! If you're an artist and you go to a museum and copy all the artwork there, will you be a very succesfull artist??? I think not.
I am fairly new at making webpages. I try to make this site as original so I would enjoy going to it. I did go to other sites for my sailor moon info, but i do not own all the manga, or all the episodes, so i can not take the info from there.
Originality makes people remember you. Originality will earn you money if your in the right job.
even my friends site is one of the normal boring tp websites, it's not finished and she's losing interest. hmmmm.... maybe it's cuz she has nothing challenging to do in it. Don't get me wrong, i like her site, but it's not ORIGINAL!
I make up almost all the humour stuff for my tp section. I did take the ideas from some sites that were good, but I did most of it. It' didn't take long.
we need to be original, my little friends.
