It's been a while
Hey guys! It has been quite a while since I have been able to update, but finally extracurricular activities and other such things are over. I'll still have to crunch a bit until May (APs), but I should have more time to do web design related stuff in general. But anyway, that's not what you want to read right now!





This has technically been open since January, but I did not want to "officially" post here until I finished the individual sections for both Axel and Roxas. Anyway, I have been working quite hard and for a long time on BURNOUT (since December, technically), which is a tribute to Axel, Roxas and their relationship. You may have found this mainly because [info]cleverheartnet was kind enough to adopt the fanlisting to me while I was working on it back in January, so I had to have it open to the public earlier than expected. So, The Last Sundown is also a part of Burnout. I hope I did them justice, I knew I had to push myself to do a good job because I'm sure a lot of good people applied for the fanlisting as well. If you have found this previous to today, I just added the Axel content last night and Roxas earlier today, so now the information is pretty much "complete" until the release of 385/2 Days. I still have some media to add, but that will come some time in the future.

IRISBLADE.ORG has a new layout, which I actually like a lot. I had originally had another layout planned, but after noticing all my layouts lately were dark, I really wanted to make something bright. I got bright all right. Anyway, I have also added Burnout to my videogame page, and I have adjusted my projects. I only plan on listing the one (well in this case, two) shrines that I am currently focusing on so I do not feel overwhelmed and completely dedicated to finishing everything on the page. Right now, my main focus will be EVER AFTER, which is a shrine to the relationship between Takanari and Haine from Shinshi Doumei Cross (it's all [info]509am's fault that I'm in love with all of Tanemura Arina's works now ♥ ). I also want to get ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY open as well, so I will try and finish those up soon.

DESTINY CHAIN has been updated a bit since it was outdated. All informational content has now been updated to the most recent chapter.

REFLECTING HEAVEN's information section is almost complete now, I just have three more pages to do. I was planning on getting them finished today, but I ran out of time, so I will do them some time tomorrow. But yeah, more information has been added. XD;

I am on February break now, but unfortunately I cannot use every second of it to sit around and work on websites/be lazy. My AP English teacher not only gave us an essay on King Lear, but we also have to read ten chapters of Frankenstein and answer short response questions for each chapter using quotations from the text. I have to get started on that tomorrow since it's all due a week from tomorrow. Either way, I am hoping to at least update VENUS SEAL, HYMNARIA, ALTERNA and GLACIALIS if possible, as well as finish EVER AFTER. We'll see how things go. More updates tomorrow!

A little behind
So, I kinda finished most of this stuff like...last week some time, but I never got around to posting about it. But that's okay.

NINTH RISING - Converted to css with a new layout (finally), and all it's pages have been edited and whatnot. I also added two more information pages that have been unclickable for awhile. Not very exciting. LET US HOPE HE HAS A ROLE IN KH358/2 DAYS!

SHARP SHOOTER - Converted to css with a new layout. I also edited the information pages and corrected some grammar/spelling issues.

IRISBLADE.ORG - Fixed the projects page around again. I am really trying to focus on my absolute favorite things because I definitely do not have an unlimited amount of time to work on websites. Before it has just been "focus on my favorite things from each series I like" but I just do not have the time to do that anymore. Some things were cut out, but who knows what will happen. (Also, Burnout is probably not what you are thinking, so don't jump to conclusions! I wanted to keep it a secret, but I felt better listing it.) I have been playing some new games such as Star Ocean 3 and Persona 3, so some projects will be on the way from those as well. *sweatdrop*

TETHEALLA.NET - Temporary layout was put up because I closed both Farah and Keel's fanlistings, and moved Literati and Swallow Dance to my projects. I don't know when I'll be able to finish Tales of Eternia, and having them just sit there is bothering me. Plus it doesn't hurt to cut down on fanlistings anyway, I suppose. But anyway, I put up a temporary page because I do not know how I am planning on organizing it, and need time to think about it. Yeah.

Sadly, I do not think I will get much else accomplished over break. I am obsessed with Star Ocean 3 right now, and I still have a bunch of school work I need to finish before we go back on the second. January is also going to be a hellish month for me, so I don't know how much I will get done then either, at least new site wise. I'll probably just focus on fixing up some current things or watching series/playing videogames to work on other things. We'll see though. Tomorrow (er..later today) I plan on scanning some Eternia stuff and updating Femme Fatale since I do not really like the layout on it now and I want to fix up some other things. If I do anything else, it'll just be some behind the scenes work on Burnout or Anything but Ordinary, so I am just letting everyone know.

To my friends: I'm sorry I didn't get around to Christmas gifts this year like I wanted to...I promise I'll make you guys special things for your birthdays and other things to make up for it! D: I LOVE YOU ALL AND HOPE YOU HAD A NICE HOLIDAY SEASON. ♥

Finally, some updates...



Finally got this thing open about a month and a half late. If you haven't read the series yet, I really suggest that you do, it is really good. No, I'm not trying to get more people to get hooked and make shrines, what? Anyway, yeah. Nothing much else to say because [info]axel_lostheart is being impatient since we're going to be watching Jigoku Shoujo in a minute.

INTERLUDE - got a layout change and I have changed the format. Over 120 images went into this thing, am I crazy?

IRISBLADE.ORG - has its annual winter layout featuring Enma Ai from Jigoku Shoujo. Changed the network format back to the way it was too because I missed the images on the side. I also have a new 404 Page because I was sick of the old one.

Winter break starts Thursday night for me, so I'll be able to get some updates done. I'm not sure what I'm going to work on new site wise, but I plan on fixing Demyx and at least Farah or Keel. New layout for Regret coming as well. Keep your eyes open~

Not As Productive As Last Week...




Yeah, so I was not as productive as last weekend. I was pretty worn out from being sick I guess. Anyway, Reflecting Heaven is finally open, though the information section still has a little less than half left to be finished. I'm working my way through the game, so I hope it will be added soon... :\ I may add some pages like personality and other such things when I feel confident enough to write them since she does leave the game for quite some time once you reach a certain point. Anyway, she deserves more love so if you like her, feel free to join the fanlisting.

IRISBLADE.ORG - New layout. I also changed my network pages around, and I'm pretty happy with the way they are. I think I'm going to tweak it a bit for the next layout, but the concept will generally be the same. DON'T LET THE ROLLOVERS DISTRACT YOU. 8D

The rest of November should help website updates because we had today off, making this week four days as it is, and I'm going on a fieldtrip on Wednesday to see the play Antigone so it's like a three day week. I'm probably going to have a training class from 2-6pm on Saturday, but other than that I should have time to work. Then next week is Thanksgiving and we have Thursday and Friday off, so it's another three day week. So, here are my plans for the next few weeks:

1. Serenity (Kairi of Kingdom Hearts) - The revamp is about 50% complete as of right now. (I wanted to do more, but I needed to get Shana up since the fanlisting was overdue 8D; ) I hope to make it like 80% by the end of this weekend and it will definitely be finished by next weekend unless I somehow get mixed into some weird circumstances that does not allow me to complete it. May be finished sooner depending on how much homework I have in the next two weeks of school.

2. Ninth Rising (Demyx of Kingdom Hearts) - I don't think it needs to be revamped, but I have two or three pages I need to finish. I may or may not make a new layout depending on if I can make anything better than the current one. It's really hard when you only have like four images to work with. T_T# WHY IS DEMYX LIKE THE MOST UNLOVED ORGANIZATION MEMBER IN THE GAME? He barely gets any screen time or any decent images...Guh.

3. Tales layouts - Yeahhhh, so a bunch of my Tales of sites have only had one layout since they have been opened, and I'd like to change some of them. Swallow Dance (Farah of Tales of Eternia), Sharp Shooter (Legretta of Tales of the Abyss) and Literati (Keel of Tales of Eternia) are my main priority. I'd also really like to fix some minor things on Polaris (Kratos of Tales of Symphonia) because it will never be perfect enough for my Kratos OCD. I also need to finish the ingame/media sections for Farah as well. [info]eventime, YOU AND I WILL BE PLAYING ETERNIA SOON BECAUSE IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS THE INFORMATION SECTIONS ARE SITTING THERE WITH NOTHING. 8D <3


4. Alterna (Kikyou of InuYasha) - New layout plz. The current one is really annoying me...I need to make something nice because Kikyou is awesome. ;O; I also have like three information pages I need to finish on this as well.

5. Glacialis (Ruki & Renamon of Digimon Tamers) - LOL total revamp. I need to add Renamon information to this mainly, but I'm also expanding it more than it's current condition because it's my only Digimon related site now. This may take some time because I still have to rewatch a good portion of Tamers, but I'm working on it, I swear! ...I made the layout anyway. -hit-

6. Honor (Sanosuke of Rurouni Kenshin) - This is my winter break project, but I figured I'd list it here anyway just so everyone knows I didn't completely ditch my favorite male anime character. I sound like I am 10 years old in the current content, so everything has to be completely redone. I have a bunch of other stuff to scan and more screenshots to add, so I'm betting it's going to take every day of my winter break. BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT BECAUSE I LOVE SANO. But yeah, no matter where I am on the other projects, Sano will be over winter break because I cannot be worried about school and whatnot while working on its massiveness.

Once I feel comfortable with my current sites being in okay shape, I'll start work on Kensuke x Kagura as well as Kyon x Haruhi. I don't know what I'll do after that, but I'd also really like to get Layla up in the action as well. We'll see what happens.

I finally got my hands on Tales of Phantasia (lol $12 on Ebay! ♥ ) so that should be coming this week, and I'm going to buy Star Ocean 3 over the weekend thanks to [info]fortuna. I won't play either until Kairi is done though because I cannot be more distracted than I already am. T_T;

Annnnd I've probably killed your friends pages by now, so I'm done for tonight.

Long Weekend Productivities




So I'm surprised I pretty much did this whole thing this weekend. It was a long weekend, but still. I wrote most of the content today and did majority of the rest of the site yesterday. I started taking screenshots last week, but I only did four episodes so far. I'll add some scans and stuff later on...and I also need to replace some of the relationship images since I had absolutely NO good images of anyone on this computer...they are all at my dad's. Anyway, all the pages are up except the one about Misa's role in the movie, but I have not seen the film yet, so that would be kind of hard to do. I may add frivolous pages such as astrology and bloodtype later on, but I think it came out rather well. COMMENTS TO BOOST MY SELF-ESTEEM ARE APPRECIATED.

INCONCLUSIVE - had its links page updated as well as added Misa and True Justice as affiliates. Nothing too exciting.

IRISBLADE.ORG - updated the network and projects page. (Nothing new, just moved Misa to current sites rather than the projects page).

I wanted to complete Shana this weekend as well, but that did not end up happening. I'm almost ready for it to open with the information I can complete, so hopefully I'll have time sometime this week to finish that up. (The fanlisting is almost overdue!) Other than that, my focus is going to be put on Kairi now (and probably a quick fix of Demyx afterwards if I'm not sick of writing about Kingdom Hearts stuff once Serenity's revamp is complete). Once I finish that revamp, I'll probably get to work on Kensuke and Kagura, followed by Kyon and Haruhi. We'll see what happens though.

I'm really tired and want to go to bed, but I have to make flashcards for lizards/turtles for Science Olympiad to study...ahhh let's hope I do not get "distracted". :]

When's the last time I've updated?



So I actually accomplished something this weekend! Surprising, right? Both of these were supposed to be done before school started, but I got lazy when my domain died right when these were both going to be completed. Anyway, so I bring you the newly opened INCONCLUSIVE, a shrine to Misora Naomi from Death Note, and I've finally finished the shrine section of SELENIA, a shrine to the relationship of Luke fon Fabre & Tear Grants from Tales of the Abyss. Now that 2/3 shrines are finished in the Luke & Tear project, I just have Daybreak left to go. We'll see how long that takes me...haha. But anyway, two shrines in one weekend, huzzah for me!

IRISBLADE.ORG has it's network section updated because I'm getting sick of all the domains that look exactly like everyone else. It is only temporary since I do not have that many shrines open right now, but I've simplified it a lot. My projects page has been tweaked a bit as well. I also have a new sibling, my good friend Amy from alexiel.net. :3

TETHEALLA.NET has a new layout. I love this image from the manga, so I just had to use it. The domain also has been majorly simplified until I can think of a new way to set it up as well. I'm content with it for now, so I guess it will do.

ANOTHER SIDE has been brought completely up to date with all layouts of currently open shrines.

So, now that I've done that, my plans for the next few weeks are Serenity and Kiss or Kill. The first quarter is ending on November 2nd, so I'll have to focus on school for a bit, but I should be able to get things done soon. Next time I update will probably be with Reflecting Heaven, as I got approved for the fanlisting to Shana a few weeks ago. Until then~!

Weight off the shoulders~




Yeahhh so it's up. I worked my ass off for over a week and finally got this thing off hiatus. *breathes* I'm glad it is up though...I mean she is my favorite female character afterall. It was a hugeeeee weight on my shoulders, and I feel a ton lighter now that it's up! Haha. I ended up having a few more pages not working because I thought of them at the last minute, so I'll add those sometime in the future. But I am so breaking from InuYasha right now... so maybe sometime before school starts. Majority of it is there though, so please enjoy it! Also... GO GO GO GO GO VISIT ALACRITY!!!!! KOUGA LOVE FOR THE MASSESSSSSSSSSS~. [info]ellipsis made her Kouga shrine/fanlisting all nice and shiny and we debuted at the same time, so be sure to either click now or the giant button on Alterna's main page. ♥

FEMME FATALE got a much needed new layout...and I edited the pages and stuff to spellings from the Tales of Eternia Complete Guide book. I plan on adding a bunch of scans from that sometime in the near future...just not right this second.

IRISBLADE.ORG's projects page has been updated with the moving of Alterna to my animanga page and yeah. Also added some other projects I'm planning to do either between or after all the major ones listed first. We'll see what happens knowing me....

Uhhhhr yeah. So hopefully Selenia will open soon and otherwise, I'm going to be working hard to get Kiss or Kill open before school starts...watching Death Note like a mofo. Haha plus I'm watching Lovely Complex and Kaleido Star (both courtesy of [info]ellipsis so yay for new fandoms!...? More updates later...

CSS & Other Ramblings
Haaaaaaaaaay, so I haven't posted in awhile. I've been working pretty hard on Alterna, and it's about 75% done (100% being as complete as when I open it). There will be one essay and two gallery pages that are not going to work when it does open, but I need to gather some more thoughts for the essay and take time for screenshots and crap. But don't worry, it's already taking up over 65 MB of space, so there are a lot of images in the gallery already. I'm aiming for Wednesday right now, and I really hope I can meet that deadline. I probably would have been done early tomorrow, but I had to spent most of today doing other things. Either way, I need to fix the layout a little bit and I cannot do that until Wednesday since the layout is at my dad's house.

In other news, I put up an actual layout on irisblade.org for the layout marathon. I actually made it before I bought the domain, but it has Eyes on it so it has to be good, right? -hit-

Another Side has been fully updated minus irisblade.org's new layout, but I'll add that once I open Alterna and change a few layouts elsewhere.

As for my activities today, it has come to my attention that my headers and a few other minor things do not work correctly in Firefox...So, I have to change all my sites to css in order for the headers to work. As a result, I spent most of my day changing irisblade.org, tethealla.net, Polaris, Hymnaria, Alterna and Kiss or Kill to css. It was mentioned to me before, but it did not really hit me until last night what exactly was going on. The headers and such work in Firefox now, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. All other sites will slowly be converted when I change the layouts, just because it would take me at least two days to change them all in one sitting, and I am way too lazy/impatient to do so.

Sooo expect Alterna in the next update...along with some layouts & revamps for other things to follow shortly after. Summer is almost over...and I have finished a lot of projects this year. However, my goal is to open Alterna, Selenia and Kiss or Kill before summer's end, so I still have quite a bit of work to do. We'll see what turns out~
