Though I honestly don't know how you found it, thanks for coming to my site! Though I've now have mostly retired from writing these sorts of projects, I still have a lot of affection for my old writing. With Tapatalk purchasing Zetaboards, the original forum host, threads hosted on the original forum have had their formatting broken. This, alongside the site's laggy interface, prompted me to make this site. My intention here is to sort of "future-proof" my old work; if I'm the one paying to host it, I don't have to worry about it vanishing or being mangled. At the same time, I want to put in the work to make what is hosted here the "definitive edition" of my older projects, with tweaks to things from spelling to presentation to ensure this remains the best reading experience for them.
The site is very much a work in progress, and I intend to continue to update it sporadically until I am satisfied. Currently, the majority of It Came From Beneath... is complete. Alongside finishing the thread archive and behind-the-scenes sections, I plan on uploading all the other, smaller projects and competition entries that were hosted on the original forum. The Creatures of Zelda and Airball, both of which are hosted on the current forum, will remain linked in the top navigation bar for the time being.
