The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney movie as a child, and is still my favorite after all these years ♥ As a kid, I loved how cute and adventurous Ariel was, and as an adult, I appreciated how refreshing she was as a rebellious and sassy young woman, which was uncommon for Disney heroines at the time. The love story between Ariel & Eric is a classic fairy tale that gets me swooning every time ♥

Version 1 has a long history ^^; When I first launched the fanlisting in December 2004 (see thumbnail below), it had a busy background for the text area and was a bit hard to read ^^; So in August 2005, I launched Version 1.2 (top image) which used a cleaner scan and got rid of the background image. I adopted out the fanlisting in November 2006, and took it back in December 2007 (first and only time I ever took back a fanlisting ^^;). I created a new layout at that time but reverted to Version 1.2 in January 2011 cuz I like this one more XD;
