The title itself was very intriguing and the introduction was definitely very interesting. Since mermaids are one of the mythical creatures that don't really vary in their forms, powers, and other aspects when told by different people, I think I'm familiar with the subject. The story involves different tales of well known mermaids from around the world, like the Little Mermaid in Denmark and a retelling of a Welsh story, which is clever. The introduction definitely made me want to read more of the story, since it's written as if it were a dying letter from a mermaid set on a mission by her father to inform humans of the 'real' mermaid tales. The page itself was well done, with the fonts being easy to read and the colors not contrasting each other.

The Secret Life of Titans
Titans are thought to be the bad guys of the world, so the title was what made me click on it. The only way I'm familiar with Greek mythology was through reading Percy Jackson and one Ancient Greece class at OU that briefly mentioned the gods and goddesses. I actually started reading the first 'chapter' rather than the introduction, and it was definitely something. The gods are now in the modern world and working at different jobs, such as Atlas working as a war analyst. The author did a good job of tying in his history with what he is doing in the present. The layout of the page is nice, although the fonts for the sidebar and title are hard to read.
The introduction to the story was quite interesting, showing the character, Joed, picking up a scroll describing 4 different Greek heroes and their tales. I know a little about 3 of the 4 heroes mentioned, so it would be fun to read about them. The story itself is just a retelling of their accomplishments and what they're known for, in a more compact format. The site itself was good, with the colors not contrasting each other and the fonts are easy to read.
