In any case, this site has been in the works for a few years now and I’m very grateful to the event to help me get it finished at last. redcrown.net and crystarium.net have been updated with the new site.

What’s next? Hopefully either a collective revamp or a brand new site that I’ve been working on since last year. We’ll see what shakes out.

crystarium.net has been updated with the new site; redcrown has not because I’ll probably wait until the revamp to link it. My sites page needs a complete overhaul anyway…

I also opened a fanlisting for Estelle Bright from the Trails series recently and a fanlisting for red mages… less recently. Look, sometimes I forget to update over here.

• I’ve made some small updates at unending journey, including a new link exchange.

• I’ve opened a fanlisting for the Mass Effect series. This is a longtime wishlister, so I’m very happy to present it! I was hoping to make it a fansite, but I just haven’t had time, so I’ll be working on that at some point. Probably after I next replay the games so it’s all fresh.

Still picking away at various planned revamps…

I’ve also put a new layout on crystarium.net and tidied it up considerably. redcrown.net has likewise been updated with the new site.

My plans for 2025 include a fanlisting collective revamp, a domain revamp, and (hopefully) at least one of my many upcoming fansites. Here’s to a productive year!

• The Expanse
• Katamari Damacy
• Your Name

I’ve also updated Classic/Modern — I finished replaying FFIII and rewrote some of that page.

I have closed five fanlistings; one is pending adoption. If you happen to reopen any of them, feel free to contact me for the member list + codes.

With it comes a full revamp of Beyond the Sky, my Cid fansite. I edited all of the content and replaced the remake page with one on Rebirth, along with some additions to the media gallery. The site’s in good shape now and should be for some years to come.

What’s next? Boy, I wish I knew. I’m riding this productivity wave as long as it lasts, but I’ve no idea what I’ll be struck with inspiration for next…!

…It is not the only FFXIV domain I currently own. We’ll see if I keep both around or stick with this one.

Also moved the Warrior of Light/G’raha Tia fanlisting over there. I may be revamping the G’raha fanlisting shortly here (we’ll see if inspiration allows it), so I’m holding off on moving him for the moment.

I also may have just bought another domain, so, uh, we’ll see where that goes…

Winds of Change has received a long-overdue update: I’ve gone through every section and reworded or rewrote various things for clarity to align with the new edition of the game. (I say new, but it came out seven years ago…) I’ve also done some visual sprucing to the gameplay section to make it easier to parse so much text. While there are still things to add, the site is overall in much better shape.

redcrown.net has been updated with the new site.

I also have a full draft of a new fansite written; I just need to make a layout and put it together. Hopefully I can put it up soon.

• Final Fantasy XVI—Clive Rosfield
• Fringe—Peter & Olivia

Though I’m still mostly on hiatus, I have a revamp of my ONE OK ROCK site pending —content is done, I just need to make a new layout. Look for that sometime soonish, hopefully!

…It looks a lot like the last layout because I really liked the setup, okay. Unfortunately I had to recode half of it anyway.

Aside from minor touches and some design notes on the domain page, there’s not much new content-wise. Here’s hoping I can pull something else together this year, but I make no promises.

Tidied up a bit as I went, but the only significant update was to Defiers of Fate—all three novellas came out in English a few years ago, so there’s some notes on that. As noted on the site, I’m waiting on rereleases of the games to dive back into working on content; I haven’t played the trilogy in years at this point. Now if only Square would hurry up and do it…!

As part of this, the following sites and collectives had link checks and very minor fixes:
- Heartplace
- Lucky Sevens
- Beyond the Sky
- Rare Candy
- Fury Cutter
- Imprison
- Soul Dew
- Level 20

Still, between that and an overdue need to upgrade Enthusiast, I’m hoping to get through these housekeeping tasks in the next month or two.

And aside from that, I have a fansite I should be working on…

• Hades
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Edward and Alphonse
• Final Fantasy Tactics

The last one comes with a minor update to ivalice.org; I’ve updated the link lists and made some notes about my future plans.

And against all odds, I have a new fansite in the works. No word on when it’ll get done, but I’m making steady progress. Here’s hoping I get it done soon!

• FFXIV – Estinien Wyrmblood
• FFXIV – G’raha Tia & Warrior of Light

• Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers
• Halo series
• Terminator series – Sarah Connor
• Final Fantasy XIV – G’raha Tia
• Digimon Adventure
• Final Fantasy XII – Ashe

FF14 has unsurprisingly stolen my life, so a lot of these have similar layouts, but I did manage to make one for Ashe. I’d love to make a proper fansite for her one day, but for now Winds of Change will have to do. I did update ivalice.org with the new site.

Also, you’ll spy another new domain in there. I have no idea what I’m going to do with it yet, but I’ll figure something out.
