Re: Do you really LOVE your cels? (Sun Apr 11 14:03:59 2004 )

Galleries with no comments at all really do bug 
me, I must admit.  It makes it seem like the 
person is collecting just for the heck of it and 
doesn't fully appreciate the cels.  This happens 
a lot with people who have a ton of dream-
quality cels and it makes me wonder, "How can 
you have been so lucky as to acquire this cel 
and not even type one word about it?"  etc.  
Now, this can be untrue, and the person might 
really love their cels - but I'm just saying 
that that's the impression they give with their 
galleries.

I write notes for every one of my cels, with 
information about the cel itself, the character, 
the scene it was from, the bidding war it took 
to get it, and any other stories behind the 
cel... obviously, the more important cels get 
longer notes than the ones I like less.  

Why do I do this?  For my own reference 
mainly... and to show that yes, there is a 
living person behind all these cels.  All of my 
websites have always had a personal touch to 
them, and my cel gallery is no different.  I 
didn't "decide" to set up my site like that... 
it just felt natural.  I can't imagine just 
slapping up pictures with no comments about it.

If people don't want to read spoilers, they can 
skip the descriptions.  I know that I never read 
descriptions of cels from series I've never 
seen, so I expect others to have the same self 
control ^_^;

I love reading other people's cel commentaries.  
It's nice to get a feel for what the cel means 
to the person.  Just because I've seen the show 
doesn't mean I don't like reading that person's 
take on the scene.  ^_^
