Welcome to the showcase! Here you'll find all the completed sites on offer here at the Norvrandt.org network. Why not take a visit? If you're looking for those sites that are less than complete or still in the conceptual stage, be sure to visit
upcoming sites before you go!

farron.net
Opened: 22nd December 2016
Directive: Network domain |
Farron was bought in order to host Norvrandt, and all my other network creations, when I moved providers to Namecheap. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, and I have no long term plans for it. Farron's highlight is a functional list of exits and a flashy index page, and is home to my Serah tribute.

cieth.org
Opened: 19th May 2014
Directive: Final Fantasy / Square Enix domain |
Named for the Cie'th and the l'Cie legends of
Fabula Nova Crystallis. Over the years, I became deeply attached to Square's flagship series, and it was that thought that started the dangerous, idle brainstorming that often leads to a new fandom domain. At the time I still owned Fractured, I was letting go of my Kingdom Hearts domain, and Final Fantasy XIII was (and still is) my favourite, so it was a logical step. As it happens I now have
two Final Fantasy XIII themed names, and Norvrandt itself is Final Fantasy related, but that's just how it goes sometimes. Once purchased, I turned everything around on Cieth in three days: the quickest turn around I've ever had conceptually. Currently, it's the location of all my Square Enix related fanlistings, several FF game specific subdomains, and home to my Kairi tribute.

Jane Doe
Opened: 12th January 2005
Directive: Fanlisting collective |
My showcase for my owned fanlistings - my joined fanlistings have their own
subdomain. Throughout my time online, my collective was hosted by a large variety of people before it finally settled here on my own domain. Jane Doe has gone through numerous name changes, and it's my oldest active site. Though my interest in fanlistings comes and goes, it'll remain a staple for the rest of my webmistress career.

Promises
Opened: 23rd December 2016
Directive: Serah Farron tribute |
A tribute to
Serah from
Final Fantasy XIII. Would you look at that, I actually finished something! Serah was in and out of development for years, but it wasn't until I was approved for her fanlisting in 2016 that I settled down, wrote an outline, and persevered. After a very successful Nanowrimo, I channelled my writing vigour into finishing off Serah's tribute at last. Serah is the one, my absolute favourite of any and every heroine; my favourite part of this site was writing about Serah's journey as a character, as even though she goes from NPC to protagonist and back again, there would be no Lightning saga without her. (I love her so, so so so much.) This site is static, revised, and good to go!

A personal, series wide love letter to
Fire Emblem. This was my blue sky tribute, one I thought would be impossible, because there was always
so much to cover and I had no idea where to begin, nor end. Then I realised I didn't have to talk about everything, and could just focus on me, and my personal journey, as a long time fan of this series (2004 and
Blazing Sword, represent! That in itself is a nice throwback to when I started sitemaking). It's a very opinionated, relaxed approach in comparison to what I've made before, and perfect for what I wanted to cover. This site has not been touched since its opening, and I'm not into present day Fire Emblem much-if-at-all anymore - too many consecutive games I didn't like - and honestly that's fine; realistically I wrote a twenty thousand word essay about what was one of my formative experiences, and it doesn't really need to be changed. In that respect, you can consider this tribute static.

Resonance
Opened: 11th July 2024
Directive: Control tribute
|
A tribute to the videogame
Control made by Remedy Entertainment. Yeah, I know. This came completely out of left field for me too. This game was an absolute treat to play, tapping into just the right level of weirdness combined with a level of phenomenal worldbuilding I haven't seen in a very long time. Control captured my imagination and during its closing hours rocketed to one of my favourite games of all time: and once I'd finished the main story, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I decided I'd try my damndest to capture what it made me feel before it fully faded, and
Resonance is the result. Visually it's very different from sites I've made in the past, but that's exactly what an unordinary game like Control needs.

Beloved
Opened: 23rd February 2025
Directive: a visual list of favourite characters
|
A visual celebration of favourite characters that mean something to me, inspired by Rosy's
galaxy of characters. Honestly, collecting all your favourite things together in some way on your own domain is a fantastic idea. Though primarily a single page filled with fictional characters I fiercely love, for some I went a little bit deeper and discussed why it is I like them and when in particular they endeared themselves to me.

Deadlock Rebel
Opened: 9th March 2025
Directive: Elizabeth Caledonia Ashe tribute |
A tribute to
Ashe from
Overwatch. This site was a labour of love. For the subject matter being a character from an online multiplayer fps, I sure do have a lot to say about Ashe; I think about her all the time, and she's been not-so-quietly lodging in a corner of my heart since her reveal in 2018. I've spent
so many hours writing about her and giving her possible development she of course doesn't get to see in-game, so why not do it again, to dig down to the roots and affirm everything I already know and feel, this time as a tribute? Ashe means everything to me, as you probably already know - and I finally get to share it in its own not-so-little space and immortalise her.
