who?

I am Pan, a 23 year old female from England (Derby). I first began using the internet in 1999 (I know; such a latecomer) and around about the same time I started to teach myself HTML.

Having just completed a BA(HONS) Degree at the University of Derby in Illustration, I am currently setting up as a freelance illustrator as well as using my fansite building skills as a Website Designer.

For examples of either of these things, you can visit iNKIDOT.co.uk and/or APPLEBOX DESIGNS.

why?

Like I said, I started to teach myself HTML in 1999. I first began because of my obsessions (namely Yuen Biao in the beginning), and their lack of (then) English Language fansites.

My first fansite was called 'A Yuen Biao Tirbute' (yes, I spelt it like that - by accident of course) and only lasted about a week before I decided to turn it into Pan's Hong Kong Page; a fansite collective, really, of all the people I was a fan of at that time. These were actors such as Yuen Biao, Stephen Fung, Eason Chan, Ekin Cheng... etc. This went along fine for about a year or two, that is until I became a fan of Tatsuya Fujiwara in 2001 and realised that it wasn't just a 'Hong Kong' page anymore, and so just shortened the name to PHKP.

And the rest, as they say, is history...
