DOMAIN: NEVARRA
Nevarra has a new layout! This one features the former professional gamer D.Va from Overwatch. I've played a lot of Overwatch in the past year, and after some deliberating, messed around with some images and textures for a few hours and came up with something I actually rather liked. It's lazily coded using the previous version with the phantom thieves as a base, but hey, I've been at this half my life, I can afford to be lazy. My showcase had an overhaul, though!

JANE DOE: JOINED FANLISTINGS
My joined page has had a slight makeover, where I gave Edna the boot and gave it a quick sprucing up with Sakura as she appears in the second OP of Clear Card. I actually saw this image two hours prior and immediately decided it would be perfect for this, and here we are.

REVAMPED FANLISTINGS
• Transistor (layout tweaks, new imagery)

DOMAIN: FARRON
farron.net's temporary page was updated to include a functional list of links; it'll likely remain static from this point on, unless I suddenly get inspired to expand it.

DOMAIN: NEVARRA
A small change, in which I updated the presentation for my upcoming sites (again) - or those that I at least plan to do for this year. I also updated the current sites page with the surprise tribute, listed below.

I also updated my contact page with a new design for this year, featuring Lunafreya from Final Fantasy XV.

SHRINE: PICK A GOD AND PRAY
One of the earliest sites I always wanted to make was for Fire Emblem as a series, but it was something I always pushed back as I couldn't figure out how to tackle such a long subject matter; until I got hit by an epiphany that I didn't have to talk about everything, and just how I would present this site. Having had it in the back of my mind for years, it was extremely easy to word vomit an entire tribute in the space of a week. I'm still shocked this was a thing that happened, but it did, and it has, and my blue sky, dream tribute is here!

It's very opinionated, and a relaxed way to shrining, and I enjoyed the entire (secret) process. Pick A God And Pray is up over at taguel.

It also had a small update today, with a new banner for the Tellius pages because Sanaki (!!) was added to Heroes, which is the artwork I'm using for the headers.

NEW FANLISTINGS
• Cassandra Pentaghast from Dragon Age (adopted from Emma!)
• Prompto Argentum from Final Fantasy XV

REVAMPED FANLISTINGS
• Avril Lavigne (layout)

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.

NEW FANLISTINGS
• Kagero from Fire Emblem Fates
• Oboro from Fire Emblem Fates
• Orochi from Fire Emblem Fates
• Paige Matthews from Charmed
• Shigure from Fire Emblem Fates

REVAMPED FANLISTINGS
• Minnie Mouse from Disney (codes)

DOMAIN: NEVARRA
First thing's first, nevarra.org has a new layout! This one features Kinomoto Sakura as a prince. In all my years of owning Fractured, Sakura was never a layout headliner, even though the domain was partly named after her... oh well. Prince Sakura is here with us now! I've loved this image for a very long time and I'm happy to come up with something for it. At first, I conceptualised this layout much smaller, but that wasn't working for me, so I decided to go bigger and now it's one of my most favourite layouts that I've ever made. There's some different coding tricks from my norm and I made use of a lot of many, many (span) tags to get where we are now, but I'm pleased.

With the new layout, I also went ahead and rewrote my network showcase (with a few new images) and expanded upon what's coming soon and whittled the list down to what I'd like to have completed by the end of the 2016. Both the tributes have layouts already, so now it's just sitting down and working on the content that needs doing.

The domain and webmistress pages also received some small changes and updates.

Unrelated to this layout, but my contact page also has a new design.

NEW FANLISTINGS
• Chloe Price from Life is Strange
• Leliana from Dragon Age
• Rem Tokimiya from Final Fantasy Type-0

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!
