Tales from Chyria is equal parts repository and wiki for my own personal mythos.
Development primarily happens in Notepad++, though the fine-tuning happens in Neocities' own site editor - which is why there tends to be so many "updates", haha. Webpages are tested in Firefox on a 1920x1080 screen, with responsive elements being tested by simply resizing the browser.
Site History
The decision to create an account on Neocities in the summer of 2024 was an impulse. With Twitter (I will NEVER call it "X") on a decline, there seemed to be a push to start one's own website within my online communities, so I hopped on the bandwagon. My friend teased me for the decision, asking me, "When are we, the early 2000's?"
As with most of my ADHD impulses, the site fell off my radar for several months, with my interest turning to other things. However, as distrust with billionaires and CEOs continued to rise, the push to make one's own website grew. Thus, Neocities returned to mind, and with it my own little corner of the internet. In December of 2024, development began in earnest.
The thing is: I know next to nothing about front-end web development. My understanding of HTML and CSS are surface-level at best, and I've never even touched Javascript before. I'm learning as I go, referencing w3schools almost constantly and bugging my more code-savvy friends for help when needed. It's a bit of a ride, but I'm having fun and learning a lot along the way.

Hi there! I'm Avelyn, and I'm the developer of Tales from Chyria. I don't manage any servers or anything like that - as mentioned above, this little site's hosted by Neocities and I just finagle the CSS/HTML.
I'm a huge fan of dark fantasy, horror, and cyberpunk. Some of my all-time favorite fandoms include Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Kamen Rider, and Final Fantasy.
I... don't have a whole lot else to say right now. Thank you for viewing my website, and enjoy your stay!
