It has been seven years of constantly updating our network.
If I may, I’m on a nostalgic mode to relay our story in bullet form.
This is the story of the Winglica – Aerandria network.
- It was year 2004 when Harusaki started out as a simple fanlisting. The Fruits Basket series was such a big hit it garnered enough traffic for us to decide making a full site about the series.
- From the large fan-base garnered by Harusaki, the concept of character shrines and a forum came about.
- The forum initially focused on the Fruits Basket series but later on evolved to include other anime series to gain more interaction.
- Roleplays became abundant in the forum. The crazy life of updates and more traffic ensues.
- From a simple fan-base sprouted an online family, which would later on become real-life friends. <3 Truly, the pioneering group's friendship still continues to this day.
- Later on came websites, shrines, and forum boards for Gravitation, Bleach and Ouran High. More insane roleplays, more hilarious times!
- Constant forum updates became too much for the initial admins to maintain and so forum staff (Mods and Wingli-ninjas) were born to be the forum policemen.
- Year 2007, Aerandria was born to cater to manga scan enthusiasts!
- Forum interactions became less almost becoming dead. Yet the admins didn’t have the heart to close it down for sentimental reasons. So the forum stayed to cater for loyal fans.
- Year 2010, Wingedfanfics was created for anime and manga fanfictions. Anyone can submit their work on this site.
- Our latest creation, Bishounenwiki, is a wiki site for bishie loving fans. We are currently looking for writers to help us create bishounen pages.
- The forum is now undergoing changes to make it more intuitive and not too overwhelming for new members.
So what does all of this tell us?
The friendship and love for anime and manga is still here. Even if we grow old and may have lost the anime/manga phase (as I have), it is something I will not easily leave behind. Cheers to the friendship born from the Network and for the new ones coming our way!
