Website History
Cursed was an ambitious project started by me, Kae on June 22nd 2005. Originally I had planned a website to Sango the then earth-shattering, now non-existant Sango website Taijiya no Isamu scared that idea right out of me. (This is of course after I had taken a few hundred screencaps from the single Inuyasha DVD that I own). After crossing Sango off my list and hovering between a Miroku website and a titular Inuyasha website I settled on Miroku and set to work. It was only after I finished the site I realized the Inuysaha fandom was pretty saturated with quality Miroku sites in a classic state of ‘my bad’. My choice may have had something to do with an Inuyasha cosplay group I was a part of that I happened to be Sango in.
Cursed was originally hosted on Aoi Ashita (another now dead website) and was affiliated with most of my hostess’ websites. It was my first return to websites after the death of Shattered Star my very first domain. Cursed was a huge, time-consuming daily grind but eventually, over the summer of 2005 became quite the extensive website. Of course, when my hostess died it went down temporarily, and hopped from host to host for awhile before dropping off the internet completely for awhile. I kept all the files but simply couldn’t be bothered to return it to the internet.
When I purchased my own domain again (empty-cage.net) I had a hard time deciding if it was worth bringing Cursed back to the land of the living given all of the information on it was either outdated or written rather like a high school student. (You know sort of like I was at the time of writing). As well, most other Inuyasha based websites had died a slow and painful death. That, and all of the pages I needed to redraft and recreate inclined me to believe that I probably never would bring it back to the former glory. It was the millions of screen caps and thumbnails I had painstakingly manually created that brought Cursed back from the land of the dead.
And that is where we are today. Occasionally, on a whim I write a page or two post an update and generally brush the place up, but for the most part Cursed became a static work in progress/ image gallery for the ages instead of any long term functional project.
