| nov yaten |
theme: kinda obvious, ne?
Okay, this isn't a bad introduction page. The MIDI is quiet, but I can't turn it off! BAD! Your email name link is the same colour as the text, also bad. The angels are very cool. Ya might want to pluralize 'fanfic' i mean do you only have ONE fanfic? *clicks* nope, there are lots, by different people. *is getting annoyed by the MIDI*
Those Yaten gifs are SO cool. Where did you get them? *wants* I can ALMOST identify this song. It's so emotional..."live forever, like the sun" but where is it from?? ARGH! Okay, I've skipped to the credits section, and it doesn't say what the song is! -_- but it does say where the images are from. mmmmm...
I really like the layout. very well organized. For the fics, have the title before the author. You may want to have their website, if they have one. Oh, the website is listed when you click to read the fic. okay. having a seperate page, with all the story parts, looks really good.
On to the art. hey, these are all about....yaten. I thought he was just like, hosting it or something. are all the fics about yaten too?? YEAH! I'm gonna read them if I have time. oh yeah, you might want a short description of the fics, like:

Plot: yaten and mina get funk-ay! the senshi watch in horror as they get down and boogie right in the middle of the street! chibi-chibi is scarred for life!
That would help in deciding what I want to read. Thumbnails would be great too.I'm noticing some grammar mistakes. and other things. example: yaten with her sister, should be plural and...they aren't sisters. Kou is their first name. one of the images has 'easily the most sexiest..' the word 'most' cancels '-iest'. so use one or the other but not both. WHATTHE? Yaten, female, with seiya, male, in bed. 0_0 anyway, some of these are very nice. Some take it too far, one pic of yaten and taiki in a park make them look FAR too feminine. and one of yaten in bed ignores his small physique, i'm certain yaten does not have a six pack.
...
in all my days of liking sailor moon, I never thought i would say 'yaten' and 'six pack' in the same sentence. ANYWAY!
The 'take me home' buttons arent necessary since navigation is at the top. yeah, there are some mistakes here, like, I couldn't stand for these kittys so here they are. say wha? the hotaru-chan banner is broken. The shrine looks very tasteful. HUGE list of awards, but they are well organized so that's great. I look forward to seeing the I Review button on the credits page. the last paragraph made me go AAAWWWW that was so sweet! all webmasters should be like this! the guestbook is too white, blah.
Overall-short and sweet. Great content + great layout=great site. YEAH! this is the best site I've reviewed in a while. So congrats! Fix the english errors, that's my only major gripe. p.s. PLEASE email me the name of that MIDI!!
¤ The midi is annoying. Navigation text is too small with a 1024 x 768 res. Clean and simple layout.
¤ It's good that you have the hentai stories marked with the heart, but you should add a warning just as well as another safeguard. Page is getting kinda long; break it into two pages perhaps.
¤ In the 'fanart' section, there are some grammer mistakes as well, and is rather lengthy.
¤ You might want to think about creating a link button (88 x 31 pixals) on the 'link me' page.
¤ The shrine to Shiho Niiyamais a nice touch.
¤ The text links for the awards was a smart move.
¤ The links for the gbook's sign and view options are a bit too close together, add some spaces (I wanted to view it but I ended up clicking sign).
¤ This site is nice. All it needs is a more sophiticated layout (it's nice as is...but I believe it has a lot of potential) and a bit more content. Also, when you use the blue tables in the forground, change the link color, it's too close to the text color.
What’s with people and invisible midis (argh)? I suggest you take that midi off your site, or at least make it visible so people can turn it off. Many people like to listen to MP3s and your driving potential viewers of your site away! The layout is simplistic and I love the little gifs from the Realm of Sailor Energy (my favorite SM fanart site ever!). I like the quote on your main page. The layout is very fast loading and simplistic, but I think you should try something a little more advanced for the main page. First impressions give people a feel for what your site will be like. Since your site is devoted to Yaten fanart and fanfiction, perhaps you should have a section devoted to information about Yaten Kou.
In the fanfiction section, I’m glad that you indicated hentai pieces so I can avoid reading them. You should think about putting short summaries and ratings beside the stories. Some of the stories were a little overly dramatic and long. Some of them were really good and some of them were okay. You seem to have a fairly good talent for weeding out the bad fanfiction, but there are still some pieces that I thought weren’t a worthy enough tribute to Yaten. There’s a lot of fanfiction stories about Yaten and Minako plus Yaten and another one of the StarLights. I guess that love (in almost any story) is inevitable.
In the fanart section you frequently refer to Yaten, Seiya and Taiki as sisters. They aren’t sisters or brothers (argh). They were all born at different times of the year, check out more information about this at http://www.kinmoku.net/pops/melody/truth.html, a section of the Starlight Pops shrine (the best StarLights shrine on the web!) I appreciate the hentai warning in this section, but I must admit that I did look at some of the supposedly hentai pictures. I don’t think a bare male chest constitutes a hentai rating. I really liked your pictures, they were really well done, and they were a pleasure to see.
I liked your tribute to Shiho Niiyama, it was touching. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to read the fanfiction, but I’m glad you recognized the talent of this voice actor.
You seem to have a talent for collecting awards. You should stop collecting awards. Many of the awards you've won are well deserved, but many others are just given pointlessly by websites that want a link. My only point is that it’s a lot of extra work for you!
The credit and e-mail me sections are a worthy addition to any site. You should have an updates section though!
I’m glad that you actually took the time to put ALT text on all your links! You also put a break out tag on them (good job).
All in all this was a fairly simplistic web site in terms of design, but you definitely deal with a unified theme (Yaten Kou!). Several things that I suggest you do are: put up an Updates section, capitalize your title (unless fanfiction and fanart aren’t capitalized for a reason) and take off the midi. I also suggest that you try to develop your website more in terms of design.

Sodoueki! Uh, ignore that. It means inside/outside block; I've been practising my karate since handing in my last reveiw.
Layout - Frames and geocities don't like each other. It's that whole geocities thing in the corner. Anyways, I've seen the background before-- in fact at a very nice domain name yaoi fanfic place. White text looks good on it, and the little images at the sides of the title fit in well.
Fanfic - Blue table on the background, again, it looks well done, very nice. The two Yaten gifs are cute. The fics are text format-- I prefer those to html.
fanart - Same format as Fanfic, going with uniformity cool. I still like the blue, although I think the links int he tables should be a bit darker, just so they stand out a bit more.
Extra - Non Yaten fanart: a nice little section you got here, some very nice art. Pocket Bishonen: Not a very large selection, but it's a start, ne? Adopted things: Cute. I've been to ghost's before. Link me: Some nice banners; I've seen a lot of places with crappy banners,a d let's face it, who'd want to go to a site with crappy banners?
Shiho Niiyama - Despite Shiho-san being the voice actor of Seiya, and this a site about Yaten, that's very sweet.
Won Awards/Credit/Links/Guestbook/Email - I don't do these, for various reasons.
Overall - A very nice site, I think the only thing that actually needs to be changed, would be the title of the site. Everything looks nice, and is ordered in a way I can understand it. Waii!
Layout- This is a nice, simple layout. It's the kind I like ^_^. I also like your use of Jeffery Anderson's GIFs. I don't see anything that needs to be changed here.
Coding- A midi starts playing as soon as I enter your site, and there's no way for me to turn it off. Please add a player or remove the midi entirely. A large portion of your visitors will already be listening to their own music when they enter your site, and they don't want their music interrupted. On the fanfic page, I like how the fanfics open in a new window. Nicely done ^_^. Agghh, I clicked on almost every single link in your site (except for the awards page) and I found no broken links. Congrats!
Organization- I like how you have all your links laid out at the top of the page. It's very easy to follow. The fanfic page is nicely organized with hentai content marked. Very good! I found all of the other pages easy to follow also.
Content- I think you should have a small introduction on the main page explaining what your site has to offer. The quotation is very nice though, definitely keep that. On the fanfic page, it would be nice if there was a short description for each fanfic telling the visitor what it is about. On the fanart page, the fanart you have marked as "hentai" I wouldn't necessarily consider as such, but some visitors are offended by even the smallest percentage of nudity.
Mechanics- On the "extra" page, you might want to change the description of the Makoto fanart to "Makoto looking peeved." Just a thought ^_~. I didn't find any grammar/spelling errors, though. Excellent!
This site was very nice! Even though it's very simple, it gets the job done quite well. Good job!
