After much too long, I've given elenen.org a new layout. I had a lot of fun making it; I was expecting the CSS to be difficult, but it came together quite easily. (Of course, now that it fits every season, I'll probably end up leaving it up too long...) In any case, I'm pleased with how it came out. Just, uh, pretend syunikiss.org is like rhapsodos.org and actually has a layout. (It's on the to-do list, but there are a couple of other things I need to get to first. See below.)

There is now a network Twitter account, @elenen. If you have a Twitter account, feel free to follow it! Smaller updates will be made there and later collected into posts here.

New fanlistings
Both of these took an embarrassingly long time, but thankfully they're both done now. They were also both wishlisters, so I'm thrilled ♥ City of Ten has been updated accordingly. I'm planning on turning Balthier/Ashe into a shrine at a later date and have a couple sections completed already, but I kind of hate the layout (it gave me a world of trouble) and need to reorganize it. In any case, I won't get to it for a while.

Awards
I'm late mentioning it, but Shape the Future won amassment's Non-Animanga Site of the Month in December. It also won Favorite Video Game Series at the 2010 Fansite Pageant. I am hugely grateful to the nominators and voters for picking it ♥ It now has a notice about Dissidia 012; I plan on making related updates sometime in April. Also, Heaven's Requiem tied for second place in the Favorite Overall Fansite category at the Fansite Pageant; I'm very flattered by the award. (I didn't know anyone had actually read it LOL)

Coming up
The villains marathon at amassment will be coming to a close soon, and my immediate focus is completing my entry for it. Following that, I'd like to get Atropos finished up. I've signed up to turn my Ramza and Delita fanlistings into shrines for the fanlisting/shrine marathon, so that'll follow Atropos. Looks like I've got a busy couple of months ahead of me.

Introducing Atropos, my tribute to Seishirou and Subaru of CLAMP's Tokyo Babylon and X and entry for the OTP marathon at amassment. Since I spent February and half of March working on my novel, I didn't manage to write anything more than the minimum required for the marathon, but what I wrote turned into massive tl;dr, so I guess it evens out. (Seriously, it's almost as long as some of my current shrines...)

I'm hoping to continue working on it in the coming weeks, which is why I've left the list of upcoming sections up instead of keeping it offline like I usually do. I'm kind of in the zone to finish it now, so hopefully it won't take too long, but then again I'm an incredible procrastinator, so... we'll see. In any case, not planning on working on anything else (sans fanlistings) until it's done.

elenen.org and broken-mask.org have been updated with the new site. The latter still lacks a layout on account of the fact the one I was planning for it was supposed to match another upcoming shrine, but since I haven't worked on said upcoming shrine yet it's kind of on hold right now. We'll see how that goes after I finish Atropos. There are three new affiliates at elenen.org (which have taken me way too long to add, sorry guys!): iris-noire.org, serenity-skies.net, and valkryie.nu. Be sure to give them all a visit ♥

A couple of new fanlistings have been built in the past month: Ramza Beoulve from Final Fantasy Tactics, RADWIMPS, and Dexter: Season 4; City of Ten is up to date with all of them. I'm hoping to expand Ramza (and Delita) into shrines this spring, after I finish up Atropos and get a few other things out of the way. Let's hope the next few months will be productive!

I'd make actual buttons but my hands are killing me. Watch me go write a long post anyway. Oh self.


My Pokémon site has finally come back to life, after sitting around on a dead domain for... uh, too long. I'm planning on making more styles, since once I got the styleswitcher working they don't take too long to make; I'd like to make one for at least every mascot. (With HG/SS being released recently, I figured Ho-oh and Lugia were good ones to start with. Pikachu is there because it's Pikachu.) The Scyther fanlisting got a revamp that looks suspiciously like another fanlisting I revamped recently... yeah, I basically ripped myself off; I never have any inspiration for Scyther. Dragonair got moved over, as well.

( About Rare Candy's present and future content )

I also have new fanlistings, new in this case meaning I opened them last month. I was waiting to get Rare Candy presentable to make a post, and you can see how long that took me... But anyway.


Delita from Final Fantasy Tactics, one of my favorite characters of all time, and iPods, which I couldn't live without. ♥ Both were wishlisters (though iPods weren't on a physical list, I definitely considered it one), and City of Ten is mostly updated accordingly. (Delita's not in there because he's on a different account; I still haven't added him in. I also kinda need to take him off the wishlist.)

( Wait, was that a new domain? )

Coming soon: One new fanlisting, one long-overdue site revamp, and two girl shrines. Don't expect that last until December; I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this month and my site productivity will be reduced until the end of November. The revamp is so overdue that I'm going to try to have it done by Thanksgiving, though.

And broken-mask.org will live again soon, promise.

Holy crap that was long.
