There was a server update recently that enabled Imunify360, so I had to update a number of files across all of my sites to ensure that nothing would be mistakenly identified as malicious. (Many thanks to Yuuka for passing me the fix!)

While the Aventurine fanlisting was the only site in particular that was experiencing issues, I went ahead and updated all of my sites—just in case!

lost-boy.org — I've updated the way members are displayed for a majority all of my fanlistings. It was something I've been meaning to do for a while. Many of the fanlistings I maintain only have a few fans, so I thought it'd be simpler to have all of the fans displayed at once instead of having a sort option.

For those with a substantial number of fans, I'm still tinkering around with some different ideas! Fanlistings that have multiple fields (ie. The Book Thief) are still being fiddled around with in the background as well. Aside from display changes, I'm also considering using Enthusiast to maintain any fanlisting affiliates instead of manually adding them myself.

All of this is done in preparation for a new upcoming fanlisting! The sooner I clean up some structures and codes, the easier it will be for me to attain some uniformity, especially when it comes to sites that need new layouts and CSS cleanups.

And they shall fall — The site won Amassment's Shrine Spotlight for November 2016! I'll put up the lovely award soon.

Cradle and Rupture — I finally, FINALLY finished my fanmix for Naoto. See me bare my teeth for you can be listened to here while information and notes can be found here.

The fireflies fanlisting was updated with two new sections. Some cheesy rambling about why I love fireflies so much (seriously, guys—it's long) and a brief blurb about the name of the site.

I was going to add some basic information about fireflies, but decided to forgo that and, instead, linked to a very extensive resource site focused entirely on these lovely insects. In the end, I really created the fanlisting for personal reasons and sentiments and... I'm also not a qualified expert on them, haha.

Cradle and Rupture received a ton of new updates! I started to revamp the shrine for an event at Amassment. It's still incomplete, but it's okay. Because Naoto is a major character in the series, there's a lot of information I need to cover, so I'm just going to take this one step—or page!—at a time!

For now, here's a list of everything new that has been added:

General: new layout, new site name
Information: Introduction, World / Amnesia (rewrite), Appearance (rewrite), Black Mind (new), Name (rewrite), OVA (rewrite), Scar (rewrite) & Masterlist (revision) / Badou Nails (rewrite)
Media: Manga (remade) / Screencaps (new)
Website: About (rewrite), new buttons, updated links list

I hope you enjoy all the new changes! Many of the links within the information pages lead to placeholder pages, but hopefully that won't detract from the reading experience too much. I'll be updating the log periodically as new pages come out.

To celebrate its 9th birthday (?!), Cradle and Rupture (formerly Excalibur) got a new layout! I wanted to unveil it along with the revamp, but I didn't manage to finish it, unfortunately. In any case, the previous layout had been up for seven years, so it was really about time I replaced it with something new.

I also released the media section of the site, though it's far from complete. Enjoy!

Excalibur, the fanlisting for Fuyumine Naoto, Even death has a heart, the fanlisting for The Book Thief, and And they shall fall, the fanlisting for Shadow of the Colossus, now have shiny new codes! There are also some new ones to choose from; The Book Thief in particular now has buttons displaying images from the movie.

Excalibur and Even death has a heart are among my oldest fanlistings, so it was an update that was sorely needed, heh. I've removed a great deal of the older codes. I'm debating whether or not to make them available still, but it most likely won't happen. Enjoy!

In addition, Golden, the fanlisting for Wong Kar-Wai is open and ready to join! I opened it about a week ago, but haven't plugged it anywhere until now. At the moment, I probably won't link it on the domain as I'm still not fully satisfied with the layout. The current header is temporary; I'm still working on the final product(s)!

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 probably should've done this long ago, but I've converted the fanlisting to Enthusiast! Hopefully it will make it easier for new members to join and existing members to update their information.

Run to the world I'll also be working on updating information around the site, including F.T. Island's discography. Cheers!
