Background: Originally I had a separate site for my personal junk, costumes and writing. I don't remember why, but in early 2010 I realized just how much easier it would be if I put all of those things together. The name of my personal site was Gateway to Insanity, while the writing site was Kasou and the cosplay site was Drifting in Nines. My favorite name out of the three was obviously Drifting in Nines and I carried it over to this site.
 

Dates: These are some old opening and closing dates of all the sites that I meshed together to form this one. I wanted to keep them here for nostalgic reasons, hehe. I guess you could say each section of this site technically started when these sites started. ;D

Gateway to Insanity (personal site) -- September 2002 to March 2010
Kasou (writing site) -- November 11, 2004 to March 2010
Drifting in Nines (original cosplay site) -- July 16, 2002 to March 2010
 

Made With: The programs I used were Notepad and Photoshop 6.0. I took a Dreamweaver class and I like the program, but I still find it easier to code stuff by hand for sites like this, which is why I fell back on my trusty notepad. XD
 

Thanks: There are a few people I need to thank from over the years that relate to things on this site, whether it's life in general, costuming, writing, the internet -- whatever. XD

Valerie -- Thanks for getting me into webdesign, helping me with costumes when I started out and also starting all these awesome/insane/crazy projects with me. WE ARE A GOOD EVIL TEAM, LOL. Also, thank you for pushing me to be creative, expecially when I thought I sucked (and when I still think that, lol). And seriously, one day we will get all the sites/projects done we talked about but never finished. ONE DAY!

Nate -- I don't know how you're still putting up with my crazy after all this time but <3333 -- I'm extremely happy you can still handle my dorkiness and I hope it never drives you away. I'll never forget when you said one of the reasons you messaged me back the first time was because of the picture of me in the Little Sister costume. That's geek love. <3 (Time to eat some Chicken Noodoo Soup!)

Everyone @ the Circuit Board (& previously Mindbreak & LJ, etc.) -- Over the years you have all kept me sane and kept my creative thoughts flowing and all that jazz. I'm glad I've talked to you all over the years and met you at cons, costume grouped with you, written stories with you, laughed with you -- all of that fun stuff. The boards/sites and their crack has been going since 2004 and I don't plan on it stopping anytime soon. Hopefully you guys will continue to join me and bask in the odd and wonderful, lol. ;D
 

Link In/Out: Here are a few banners for linking if anyone wants to link exchange with a personal/cosplay site! I would love to link with other cosplayers/fandom friends! Click the link on the right and shoot me an email if you would like to link exchange (as you can see I currently have no links out on here! I'm looking for some!)~

If you'd like to link back here (thank you so much, first of all!), just grab one of the banners below, save it to your own server and link it back to http://www.whatthefun.net/din -- and thank you! Hope you enjoyed yourself at this house of crazy. XD
