MAGREAL AHH <3 。・゚゚・ ・゚゚・。 roads to home - lune's swc co-leader application 。・゚゚・ ・゚゚・。 INTRO Books. How many of us have, one time or another, thought of them as tiny worlds inside pages? I certainly have. And I know more than a few others who have too. I don’t think it’s that uncommon of an idea. And for my very first co-leader application, I decided to take that idea and run with it, like so many others have before. Hi, hello, and salutations! Welcome one and all to my very first co-leader application. I started this app in July, I think. My answers were basic. Boring. I completely focused my heart and soul into making some Hamilton art for an app that was, truth be told, terrible. I finally realized that it wasn’t going to work. So I scrapped it. Decided to be a camper again. I picked my answers back up again shortly after the November session started. I of course realized that they were awful, but I also saw the good in them. So I rewrote them, keeping the good parts, and this time spent hours working on them. When I finally felt satisfied with them, I began working on finding a theme. It took me a while to find this particular theme. I was considering many others before I warmed up to it. Hamilton again, types of moths, Wings of Fire tribes.... All of these were strong contenders. But I decided I needed something more heartfelt for my first app. I considered the rooms in the March House. I considered the houses of Avonlea. I considered a lot of these places, these incredible books that I’ve spent my childhood with. But in the end, I couldn’t decide. They were all too close to my heart. So I combined each of my beloved classics, along with my love of maps of fictional places, into this. And I’m so proud of what I accomplished with it. Even if I don’t get chosen, even if I end up with not even a single ‘good luck’ or anything like that, I’m proud of what I did here. I’m proud of how much of my heart I poured into this app. I hope you at the very least enjoy looking through it. And I hope you can tell how much of me is inside of it. (and sorry for the long intro :P) 。・゚゚・ ・゚゚・。 NAVIGATION To go through my answers, either click on each of the places for specifics or simply use the following buttons to read them one after the other: space, click, or arrow keys!
