@lake Also started on freewebs! Warrior cats and wolf rp sites were my sanctuary back then, and they introduced me to the idea that websites and web pages are "places" and not just things that show you information. The website is a world, it's pages are places to be within that world, and its users are the creatures that keep that world's ecosystem alive.
Those sites are also long gone now, but that principle's left a mark on me to this day lol
