Credits
Here I issue a thanks to all the resources that made this possible. This is also here for accessibility purposes; how can anyone learn how things get done without pages like these?
Credited parties are not sorted by what they contributed, but generally exist as an alphabetical list. For once I depart from this method of sorting, simply because I think it makes things more interesting, and the list is not long enough to warrant it.
Besides the link page, you could theoretically use this as a taking-off point. If so, then have a safe flight and catch many bugs on your way.
Fangs for the Memories:
- Beepbird
- Created the layout used on this page, appropriately named Hyde. I wondered why it was called that until now. Two flex boxes, two faces..Ohhhhh...
- BeautifulSoup
- Saved me countless hours of pain and suffering.
- ByLightUnseen
- Provided several excerpts from books. The claim to having personal copyright over transcriptions of public domain works may be strange to you, but this was typical for the time. This also a good bit before OCR software became the standard for plaintext conversion, so these were typed by finger! Ouch! However, here in hobbyist data-archival, redundancy is the point.
- Dark Side of the Net
- Provided plenty of links for the Links page via its Wayback Machine equivalents. The whiplash between its current and past incarnations is truly a sight to behold. One talks about being a "content creator" and links to AI-generated storybooks for small children, the other one has an entire section for gore websites. Reminds me of how Yahoo used to have a designated racist section. How times have changed.
- Hewett Tsoi
- Created the Alagard font that's used for the headers.
- Library of Congress
- Provided a substantial amount of vampire newspaper clippings, if not all of them.
- Project Gutenberg
- Got the ball rolling with the Vampire Books collection.
- Queer Horror
- Gave me a solid chunk of LGB (Not much T around that time) vampire novels for the bibliography.
- Solirides
- Created the Birch Leaf font that's used for the nav links.
- Taverndweller
- Created the bibliographic style of the same name.
- W3schools
- All manner of code snippets.
- Weird Fangs
- Gave me the names of many Weird Tales stories.
- zatoichi01
- Scanned many of the Weird Tales issues that I'd go on to pull text from.
- Zeno Rocha
- Created the Dracula/Alucard colour scheme used on this site.
