Short preamble: I was supposed to publish this post back in September, but then I got busy with some IRL stuff so…I forgot it -__- Anyway, here it is now.
Since the last update two marathons were held at Amassment and, needless to say, I participated to both of them. I combined the results of these marathons in one post since they both dealt with shrines.
For the banner trade marathon the following shrines received new buttons: Ab Intra; I Miss You; Nymph; Odi et Amo; Shades of Grey; Weird. A special thanks goes to Ava; Crystal; Destinie; dubiousdisc; Juhi; Michelle; and Stefi who donated the buttons.
For the link drive meme instead, many shrines of mine either received new affiliates or made link exchanges with other shrines. Here is the complete list:
Outside the link meme, but still regarding affiliation, Nocturne was affiliated with Lunar Shadow, Brittany’s Yuna shrine, which I already had on my link list.
All the shrines mentioned above have also been added on The Wired. I may left out one or two sites, but they will be added soon because I’m planning to do a quick link update/cleaning in between the other things I have on my (incredibly long) to-do list. (Sigh…so much to do, so little time ;__;).
Fanlistings affiliations (both done trough the meme and outside the meme) will be covered in another post (along with some *tentative* adoptions…maybe :P).
Coming up: fanlisting collective post regarding affiliations/adoptions, network fall/winter projects plan

It was about time! After being online for almost two years, Odi et Amo finally received its first, serious update.
First of all, the shrine has moved to a new location and it can now be found at: http://sohryu.nu/otp/. It is like the old address, only without the eva subdomain. This doesn’t mean I’m dropping Project E. The only reason why I opted for the move is that having the shrine under the main domain (hence under the same script I use to manage all my other shrines) will make it easier for me to keep it up to date.
The layout is still the same, except for the menu. A while ago some people reported me about having troubles with the script I was using so I replaced it with a new one which should, hopefully, work just fine in any browser. I also did some minor changes to the stylesheet and replaced the old footnotes with fancy, JQuery-based tooltips.
Now, onto the content update…
- all the old sections were revised and checked against typos, errors, and the like
- the Story section was heavily updated with many new pages: it now covers all the 26 episodes of the anime with a total of 6 pages added
- the Verbal, Episode Guide and Gender pages were also updated to include the quotes, episode synopsis and Angels of the new episodes analysed (15, 16, 18 and 22)
- the Media section hasn’t been opened yet (I’ll probably leave it for the next update), but all the pages in the Story section feature a few selected caps to show important interactions between Asuka and Shinji
- the Links section was purged of many dead links, but a few more couple shrines were added to the list so that should even things out :)
Since I still have no affiliates, affiliation is open to any site related to the Evangelion franchise or any couple shrine in general (anime, manga, videogame…it doesn’t matter as long as it is dedicated to two characters).
And that is all for today. Network-wise I may update another old shrine before moving on some new (and still undecided) shrine projects. I do have two fanlistings on my upcoming list (well, technically it would be only one but since I haven’t plugged the second yet because of its ugly layout I count it as unfinished :P) so those are my priority right now!
Coming up: I have a few more pages planned and there is still that Media section to do…

In some cases I don’t have any updates to do, in other cases I do update but I forget to write about it. This post falls into the second category /swamped me ^^;;;
Anyway, the [+] Lost Males fanlisting was finally adopted by Jessica and it can now be found at http://males.destinyfound.org/
Also, thanks to the super wonderful staffers at TFL and to I got not one, but two wishlisters *__*
- Lauren Reed and Julian Sark (Alias)
- Asuka Sohryu Langley and Shinji Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion) (partnered with Odi & Amo)
New adoptions made me think about my current fanlistings and I came to the conclusion that it is better to find new loving owners for the following trio:
- Craig Nicholls (Musicians: Male)
- Romanticism (Arts and Design: Schools and Movements)
- The Bride (Characters: Book/Movie)
It is hard to let these fanlisting go because I owned them for years, but if there are people who love them more than I do I won’t hold on to them :)
If you are interested, the Adoption post has all the info you need.
Coming up…: I have my first exam around the corner (four days x__X) and three more to take between June/July so, needless to say, I aim to pass them (with high scores, why not? XD) and get the rid off them.
I do have a shrine due in July and another shrine in the works. I will be working on them, just there won’t be probably any consistent updates until exams are overs.

Odi & Amo
Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the yearly (!) appointment(*) with my new site opening post!
(*) Seriously, a woman who gives birth to a child is faster then me giving birth to a new site o_O
It’s been about a year since I opened my Shuyin shrine and now there is a new addition to the network, shrine number two: Odi et Amo, dedicated to Asuka and Shinji of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
I began to work on this site in September 2008, few days after launching Nocturne and by the middle of April it was already on-line. Problem is, there were many things that didn’t convince me. Except for the layout, I didn’t like the navigation nor the content organisation. Bottom line is that I decided to re-do everything. All the pages were rewritten (more or less from scratch), long pages were split into sections and new sections were added or modified.
Unfortunately, since I had to publish it before the end of August, I didn’t have the time to re-write all the pages it originally had, for example the story section covers only the first episode arc :/
The site was tested in Firefox, Safari and Opera. I also tested it in Internet Explorer using a simulator, the layout works in these versions: 8, 7 and 6. However, since this simulator shows only an image of how the site is rendered in Explorer I don’t know whether the menu works or not. If any of you have IE, could you please check and tell me if it actually works?
Also, I tried to keep the layout as light as possible in order to make the site load fast (having a fast connection doesn’t help to imagine how much it can take to 56KB users to load the site ;__;).
Coming up:add new pages to the “Story” section; eventually expand other section(s).
project E.
Regarding project E. (the very originally titled collection of Evangelion-related websites I plan to make) there will be more information in the future. All I can say at the moment is that in my mind it is a very ambitious thing, on which I would like to collaborate with other people (if I find other Eva fans, that is). My past tries at collaborations were a disaster, therefore I’d like to know in advance if there is someone interested in this project. If you are, just contact me in some way xD
One last thing: affiliation/link exchange requests, suggestions, constructive criticism, typo reports…are always more than welcome :)

Fanlistings
- The A Clockwork Orange fanlisting was adopted by Karla and can now be found at http://underheaven.org/ultraviolence/,
- the Silence of the Lambs fanlisting was also adopted out. Monica has taken it over and the new locations is http://sotl.immortal-memories.net/.
The [+] Lost Males and the Sanji fanlistings instead are still adoptable.
Minor updates
Oh Poison is now affiliated with Courtney’s collective, Love-sick.org. I also corrected a few wrong URLs on the “Gone” page.
Now regarding that secret shrine…. When I wrote in my previous post that it might have been online in two weeks I obviously didn’t realize it’s already May. And after May comes June. And in June I have exams.
So now I shall better stop making predictions and go back to study. However the shrine will be opened. Someday in the future T__T
