About the Guests' Web Picks
It all started in 1997
with Jei, who undoubtedly had his reasons. (You'll have to inquire about
them from Jei himself, I never did. ;) I asked to continue the
guestpicks because I was curious about what other anime fans were like, how
they thought (or not :), what websites they looked at. I thought it might
interest others too... An excerpt from the current request
letter: "
The Guest Picks was set up to show the diversity of anime fans, their
lives, their thoughts. This diversity would show too in their website picks
as the picks reflect their interests. The guests tell about their
background, how they got into anime, their other interests, anything esle
they feel strongly about, then list out some of their favourite sites and
explain why they chose them.
The article can be done any style you like, in any length. Something that
reflects your views. What's important is that the author's personality
shows through. (And that the URLs are included, so I don't have to hunt for
them. :D )" Most of the guests have
been proposed via e-mail by readers of the guestpicks. Guests come from all
ages and walks of life. The articles thus display varied opinions and
writing styles. There is very little editing of content, if at all. I feel
very strongly that people should be allowed to show themselves as they are
(or hope to be. :) I don't agree with all of what has been written, but I
like even less to take away the readers' opportunity to sift through the
words themselves and make their own decisions about the articles and what
they convey. If you do find an
article that you have enjoyed or in some way have gained from, please do
take a minute and e-mail a line to let the author know. The name of the
authorat the beginning of every article is an e-mail link, just click on
it! :)

original, da yo..^^)
