about

Hi! I'm M (she/her), a Trekkie. I write meta as splendide_mendax on A03 and on my other site, which is a bit broader in scope.[1] I'm also on Tumblr as @splendidemendax.[2]

this site

Structurally, this site is based off Zonelots (which is itself based off Zonelets) with a very important strategic fix figured out by Stereoflier. Design-wise, I couldn't have figured out the PADD-style site title without duskyspirit's Star Trek PADD work skin. I made some adjustments to make it responsive to changes in viewer width, but the fundamental set up is the same.

A sample of the design elements of this site. The color palette is lilac, orange, yellow, grey, and black. The fonts are Barlow Condensed and Montserrat, both sans-serif. There is an illustration of the Enterprise against a background of stars on the left side.
The style guide I made for this site.

  1. Tbh, this blog mostly exists because I thought making a Star Trek themed site would be a fun design/coding challenge.^
  2. Can you tell I'm a classicist yet?^
