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 :)
