I found EoFF through a website created by a person named Kara Cat. Or Kara Kat, I can't remember. A really old site, hosted by the now ancient Angelfire domain (I think). I think I was looking for quizzes like "which character are you like?" and I stumbled across her site. She had a variety of interests, from The Slayers anime, to Samurai Pizza Cats, to...EoFF? What's this? It was love from there on out. I clicked on the link and was fascinated by all the info on the front site. The only other site I'd really looked to for FF info at the time was FFOnline, but I guess this is the site that ended up sticking out to me.

I lurked the front site for a year or two before I decided to join the forums, reading up on FF8 Character bios and stuff like that. I wish I remembered the URL to Kara's site. She had a huge paragraph talking about EoFF, I don't know if she was a member here. But it'd be nice to see that old page and it frustrates me that I can't seem to find it. I'm not sure what actually led me to join the forums, but I'm glad I did.
