lost-boy.org — The network and fanlisting pages have been reorganized with some projects shifting around. That isn't to say I've given up on them exactly, but my approach towards certain subjects have changed and shifted over the last few months, prompting me to rethink them a bit!

Unsung — The fanlisting for Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age: Inquisition is now open! I've waited far too long for this wonderful man to get a fanlisting, so... I've decided to open it myself. To be honest, the layout is awful, so hopefully I'll replace it with something better or will find a way to tweak it to my liking. I wanted to get it up as soon as possible, however, so that I can be free to work on other projects I have in mind without worrying about an impending deadline.

Fire in his eyes, Grim, Illuminate, Run, Run to the world — All of these fanlistings received new shiny codes courtesy of Shinju!

Messy, contradictory and true — The emotions fanlisting also received new codes alongside a brand new layout. Thank you so much, Shinju! YOUR GIFTS ARE INCREDIBLE, AAAAAAAAHHHHH. Thank you again for being such an awesome Secret Santa. ( /)/////( )

Although I've been doing a lot of maintenance and work in the background, it's been a while since I've actually made an update in the log, so here it goes!

First, there's a fresh new layout over at the domain featuring some lovely scans the super cool Lethe sent me! I've been trying to make something out of this particular scan since forever, so hopefully I did it justice! The very first layout of the domain will forever be remembered in the domain's guestbook, which I've also decided to release today after hiding it for so long, haha. I'm not sure how much activity it will see, but it's there if you'd like to leave a comment!

I was also approved for the fanlisting for Ichimaru Gin by AnimeFanlistings.com a while back, but refrained from sharing it here because I wanted to get a shrine up along with it. Unfortunately, it's been pushed back due to time constraints and some deadlines, but it's something that will definitely appear in the future.

I've also been approved for the fanlisting for my favorite director, Wong Kar-Wai, by TheFanlistings.org which I'm super happy about. Again, due to time constraints, I'll probably only be able to get the fanlisting portion of the site out, but hopefully I'll find time to work on it once one of my major projects is finished!

Speaking of fanlistings, the appropriate fanlistings have had their links to AnimeFanlistings.org updated to AnimeFanlistings.com. If I missed one, though, feel free to tell me!

A new layout for my online TCG trading post is also in the works. I'll update accordingly once it's finished!

Unfortunately, I just happened across the situation and so I have no clue as to how long this problem has persisted. Basically, Photobucket made it so that when you save the image from the direct-link URL they provide, the file is somewhat corrupted and you can't open it in various tools. You may be able to still upload it, but I haven't got the faintest idea as I didn't test it.

In any case, I've edited the codes to prevent the problem from arising. Gradually, I plan to move the codes onto the server instead. This is not a priority for most of my fanlistings as the codes they have are quite old and need replacing anyway. So far, the only fanlisting that has accomplished this is the one for Kokoro Kikai.

I redesigned the contact page; after a while, I kind of grew to dislike the last layout. I cycled through dozens of images, trying to figure out what I wanted, but I ended up using the same image I used for the previous design, haha.

In addition, a new guestbook will be found there in the future. I've already coded it and everything, but I've decided to withhold its release for now, heh. I don't know how much activity the it will see, but the guestbook makes the contact page feel more wholesome in general.

And they shall fall — I'm in the process of adding new images to the layout to flesh it out more and fill in some of the empty gaps. Over the last few days, I also had the game's soundtrack on loop, and added two new songs to the media section: "Prohibited Art" and "The Opened Way ~Battle with the Colossus~." I can't believe I forgot about them and didn't add them the first time around. I love both of them a ton! I've decided to remove "Prologue (To the Ancient Land)" for now, but it might rotate back in the future! Check out the new changes here.

As you can see, I've opened up a new update log for the domain! The first layout features Nakamura Yusuke artwork because I'm a creature of habit. From now on, updates pertaining to all my sites will be posted here. I've deleted the old files and updated the links for all my sites.

In addition, I also deactivated the temporary Twitter account I had for the domain, back when I was unsure of how I wanted to set up my updates. I may bring it back in the future as a kind of supplement to this site. To be honest, though, I don't tweet too much and maintaining more than one Twitter account is a bit of a hassle for me, haha. Sorry for the inconvenience! Of course, you can still hit me up on Twitter if you'd like by messaging me on my personal: @phonyu.

And they shall fall — I added new link buttons for those who might be interested in linking back to the content portion of the website. You can find them here. I'm not completely satisfied with them, though, so expect some changes or some new ones in the future!

Run — Just noticed an error for the fanlisting; it seems that the reset password page was missing. I've restored it, and everything should be working now. Check it out here.

I updated the current layout of the domain a bit; the scrollbars were bothering me, but now it looks a lot nicer! I also made it a greater resolution. I don't know if I like it yet, but we'll see how it goes.

Created a brand new layout archive for the domain over at Tumblr. Along with being up-to-date with the current layouts of all my sites, it also houses some layouts of sites that are no longer online. In the future, I also might add layouts that ended up being unused. In any case, you can check it out here!

The network got a fancy new contact page. It has links to my e-mail, Tumblr and Twitter.

At last... it's here.

After much deliberation and contemplation, I finally registered my own domain. My first domain. Everything still feels surreal to me; I can't believe I have one after all these years of yearning. I couldn't help but smile as I wrote the content and made graphics for the site.

But here it is: lost-boy.ORG.

Quick shoutouts to my host Misaki and Lethe for their help in making this happen. All of my sites have been moved to their new—and hopefully last—home.
