Backburnered projects

Backburnered projects

I often start a new project on my website and then fall out of the habit of working on it before it's finished. It may be weeks, months, or even years before I get back to it. Hell, decades, maybe. And I'm always worried I'll completely forget about something I was working on, so there's virtually no chance I'll ever get back to it. So, I've finally decided to start a list of any projects I've got on the backburner, to ensure that doesn't happen. (But it's entirely possible I already have forgotten some things, so this page may well be incomplete.)

anime galleries
Over the last several years, I've entirely deleted a bunch of galleries I had for specific shows, and drastically reduced the number of images in some of the galleries I've kept. But I often think I should probably delete more of the galleries, possibly even all of them. I just don't want to do that without looking through them, first. And that would be extremely time-consuming, given the current speed of my internet. So I intend to wait until such time as I have fast internet, again. (Meanwhile, most of the galleries that remain aren't even of anime, but of American animation.)

comic book reviews
There are a bunch of comics I collected before I had a website (and even after I had a website, but before I started writing comic reviews). I need to re-read those and write reviews.

commercials

Check for videos that have disappeared from YouTube, look for replacements.
Make more YouTube playlists, to de-clutter my pages.
Make lists of all videos included on my pages or playlists, so that if they do disappear, I know what to look for.
Finish adding commercials to nostalgia page.

fanvids
I made a bunch of fanvids, mostly for "Avatar: The Last Airbender," back in 2006. But they all got removed from YouTube years ago. More recently, I began uploading them to my website. I haven't done all of them yet, and I may very well remove the ones I already have here. Partly this is because of limited storage space on my site, and these are some big-ass files. Partly because it may not be strictly in keeping with Angelfire's rules about copyrighted material. What I'd really like to do is find a host site that's specifically for video streaming, and that I wouldn't worry about my whole site being deleted because of it. (Also, I have always had ideas for more fanvids I want to make someday, but I have no idea if or when I'll get to that, especially if I don't know whether I'd even have a place to put them online if I did make them.)

The Grey Pages
This section belongs to one of my "alternate personalities," a conspiracy theorist/paranormal investigator called Captain Grey. I haven't worked on most of the stuff in this section at least since 2001, probably earlier. (Though I've made a few tweaks to some things, more recently... but not very recently.) In particular, I had started a lexicon page on which I intended to list a lot of important names (of people, places, events, etc.) and terminology related to Captain Grey's field of research. I never finished the page, so I don't think I ever put a link to it on either the main Grey Page or any of the subpages in that section. I've always wanted to get back to that someday. And then I'd have to make changes to some of my other pages in the section, as well.

~~Make a list of backburnered projects.~~

movies and television

Remove indications of attraction to female characters, which I've come to see as problematic.
make separate list on studio pages for films produced or just distributed by each studio (also theatrical vs. home video distribution).
Add details to some reviews, particularly separate seasons of TV shows.
Check existing links in reviews to make sure they're still active.
Consider eliminating the too something section of my TV reviews, or at least deleting entries for some shows that aren't that important to me, and moving some that are important to other sections.
(See also "commercials.")

Rounders
These were collaborative stories I was involved with on the old Scifi.com message boards, in the mid-to-late 90s. There are some reference materials I started creating back then, and quickly abandoned. I'd like to get back to them someday. I'd also like to use the Wayback Machine to look for archives of the old stories, and put links to them on my Rounders page, possibly also write summaries of the stories.

writing
Most of the stuff you see listed on this page is complete. But there are some stories that aren't listed here, which I started and never finished. I'd like to get back to those, eventually. Still other stories I haven't even started, but have had ideas for. And there are various stories I never finished (and some I planned on, but never started) about specific characters I used to think of as alternate personalities.
