Ok it's been a bit.

First thing's first: I moved hosting providers in October last year to A2 Hosting and am now settled in. The reason for this was ssl certs: whilst I still register my domains with Namecheap, ssl is sold as an mtx per subdomain, whereas A2 includes it as part of the cost and I understandably did not want to pay extra for what I didn't need to. So! I moved.

Secondly, I have been working on a big project which I have finished the first draft for; I wrote perhaps two thirds of it last October, took some breaks for writing month/unfinished fic/new fic, and returned to it recently. I'm letting it sit for a while before I start my edits but I am aiming to have my tribute to Ashe up in March sometime.

Thirdly, I have been having a lot of food issues (my body is rejecting many substances, which leads into other not so fun things due to lack of variety, whose fault is that bud). This has led to a lot of layout designing whenever I haven't had the brain for words - I have layouts for two things I added to my projects list for the year sorted. I'm not certain when I'll get to writing either of them though.

DOMAIN: FARRON
farron.net received an update and is now a button wall of links out to places across the network. It still features Lightning and Serah, as it should.

COLLECTIVE: JANE DOE: JOINED FANLISTINGS
My joined fanlistings page got a new look to match Jane Doe, featuring Yukari from Persona 3: Reload. I'm in the slow process of checking for dead links and things that have moved; but once I've done that, perhaps I will join a few.

Why do I bother and why does this keep happening. "Later," I say. Later turns into eight months. As is, everything other than the fanlisting updates took place within the last two weeks, so that's more a case of nothing to report.

DOMAIN: FARRON
Nothing noteworthy, but I made a new temporary page for farron.net, since I never got round to it last time. I might try to make a layout from this one... eventually.

DOMAIN: NEVARRA
Nevarra had a couple of updates in the form of projects for 2017! For the first time ever I managed to complete something on this page, so I went ahead and gave it a look over. My Old Kingdom tribute is next in the pipeline, but it'll remain a slow, steady slog - but as I wrote a Nanworimo opus based in this universe, it will be done. Very, very slowly.

Aside from Old Kingdom, I'm teasing ideas with making a tribute for Prompto from Final Fantasy XV, but his will be a slower sort of thing. We'll see if anything else comes out this year as a surprise? You never know.

DOMAIN: CIETH
As of yesterday, cieth.org has a brand new layout for the new year! This one features the cast of XV, because regardless of what Square says, they will remain part of Fabula Nova Crystallis in my heart. Anyways, since I hadn't made a layout in about eight months I didn't do anything fancy with this one in terms of coding - it's very lazily swiped from the last variant with different fonts and more recent preferences. However, I'm all for the simplicity. It's nice; it turned out better than I expected and serves my XV needs for the time being.

SHRINE: PROMISES
Hold onto your hats, folks, Rems actually completed a thing! That being, Promises, my tribute for the lovely Serah Farron from Final Fantasy XIII, is now online and is complete! Well, mostly - there's a media section I might add if I feel like it, and I still need to list her everywhere, but she's here and she's ready for your views. This one has been a long, long process of maybe four or six years, but it wasn't until 2016 when I got of my butt and actually made some plans and outlines when I was approved for her fanlisting.

The layout is the same as it was, though it was always made with this tribute in mind. I'm very pleased! It's been a lot of work, but I've proved to myself I'm capable of doing it. Awyea.

End of the year updates round-up, since I fell out of using this journal again (oops). There's been a lot of changes so I'll try to make this as concise as possible. As always, you can find to-the-minute updates over at fracturedkey!

DOMAIN: FRACTURED >>> NEW!! NEVARRA
This year was the tenth anniversary of fractured, but with it coming up for renewal, I decided to go for something fresh. I've started going by the new alias of Rems and purchased the domain nevarra.org, which is now my network hub! The first version features Commander Jane Shepard from Mass Effect, as I finally got into the series in summer (and I love that image, dayum).

Everything was updated accordingly and everything on the domain was revamped in some way, whether it be information, contact, 404 pages and just about everything else. There's new linking buttons too for those who haven't noticed; fractured will be expiring in the next few months.

NEW!! SERVER MOVE
For the best part of eight years I have been hosted by godaddy, but have decided to make the move to namecheap, and in early December everything was migrated from one server to another. Everything is essentially done, except for what's on keyofdestiny, which, like fractured, is another domain I will be letting go of (all my KH related content will be moving onto cieth) - I'm hoping to do this in the new week or two. Along with the move to a brand new server, I also bought another (yep) domain, farron.net, to keep everything neatly organised. At the moment, I have no long term plans for it, but it does host several of my FFXIII fanlistings that are related to the Farron sisters in some way.

DOMAIN: FLORETE >>> TAGUEL
Florete expired and I settled with taguel.org in order to replace it (so many new domains, I'm sorry). The layout features Panne, the domain's namesake, and though again, I have no real long term plan for it, I do actually have some content on there! Gasp.

CLIQUE: EVEN THE ODDS
Said content on taguel, Even the Odds is a Fire Emblem class clique, using the classes Robin (and Morgan) can change to in Awakening, due to the ease of using Awakening sprites to have some consistency. Please do join if you're interested!
