Wee…it’s been a while since I last posted here! Anyway, I come bearing a (small) news :)
About a month ago I was picked to be the new owner of the Raito/Light Yagami (Death Note) fanlisting, which is now up and running:
I was very happy to be approved not only because Twilight will be partnered with Ab Intra, my Light shrine, but also because Light is without a doubt one of my favourite male characters. (Blond? Check. Pretty? Check. Villain? Check. Smart? Check. How could I possibly not like him? :3)
I’m going to update Oh Poison! soon with both the about page for Light and a new round of adoptions. I still haven’t made a definitive list, but I’m looking forward to adopt out around 2/3 fanlistings.

Even though the whole injured wrist problem isn’t solved yet, I don’t have to wear a brace any more…hurrah for having my hands back :D Now that I’m finally brace-less, I managed to put together the very first update of 2012.
I took a short break from the general series shrine I’m working on, to fix a few things over Oh Poison!. Most of the changes were done to the back end, so they cannot be seen, but I also made some changes to the front end:
- the KIM script was replaced and the whole page was updated. The members list got lost during the transfer, but I luckily had a partial list on my HD (with names and email addresses) so all the KIM listers were notified and asked to re-join. Obviously everybody is free to join…all it takes a a few minutes to compile the form :)
- I did a general link check on the adopted/closed fanlistings pages as well as on the affiliates. I removed a lot of broken links in both sections. Affiliation is still open so if you have a fanlisting collective and want to exchange links with Oh Poison! contact me
- the joined page was merged with the network’s joined page so cliques, webrings, rotations and fanlistings can now be found on the same page. I also managed to show the latest fanlistings joined, something which I was never able to do with the script I previously used
Talking about single fanlistings…the Sora fanlisting was moved from http://sora.sohryu.nu to http://fan.sohryu.nu/sora/. While I still plan to make the shrine (the reason why I originally put the fanlisting on a subdomain when I opened it years ago), I prefer to keep all my fanlistings under the same directory and separated from their respective shrines, as I already did with Nocturne and Blitzartig.
Coming up: I have a few fanlistings-related updates planned, but with the general series shrine deadline approaching that project is my priority.

After many years spent giving away many of my fanlistings and making a huge downsize operation, I happened to come across two removed fanlistings I couldn’t resist to apply for. And I was lucky enough to be approved for both /yay for me :D But first a short announcement regarding an old fanlisting.
Browsing The Fanlistings, I noticed a change in Aeris/Aerith’s “official” name. The name now adopted is no longer Aeris, but Aerith. After all Aeris it was used only in the English version of Final Fantasy VII, while Aerith was adopted in all the other Final Fantasy VII-related videogames. In order to reflect this change I moved the fanlisting and it can now be found at: http://fan.sohryu.nu/aerith.
Members still have to be notified about the change, but I have already sent an update info form so the change should soon be made official :) I didn’t change the codes, though. I know some fans want to use Aeris so I left the codes with “Aeris” as they were, at least for now. I haven’t decided yet whether to change them or make a few new batches of codes with different images.
And now for the new fanlistings…
Archimage, the first fanlisting, is dedicated to Rydia and it is partnered with my Rydia shrine, Nymph. I was actually approved a few months ago (April, I think), but I never plugged it because…*cough* the layout was terribly hideous =__= Or rather, I didn’t have enough time to properly finish it and it ended up being quite rough. It looked as if something was missing so a few days ago I decided to improve it and I’m now very pleased with the outcome!
I also added two new series of buttons, in all the common sizes: 50×50, 75×50, 88×31, 100×35 and 100×50.
The second fanlisting, Bin Bons, is dedicated to British actor Ben Barnes, who you might know for his role of Prince Caspian (and later King Caspian), in the Narnia film series. Since I spent most of August making buttons for Amassment‘s Banner Trade Meme, I didn’t have enough time to make many buttons in all the sizes usually used. I did however make 10 buttons in both 50×50 and 75×50 and, of course, I plan to add matching buttons in all the other sizes very soon.
Both fanlistings are open to affiliation requests so if you own a related fanlisting (Final Fantasy series/characters for Rydia; general actors, films in which Ben has starred or characters related to the ones he portrayed on screen), mail me :)
Oh Poison!‘s owned page has been updated to include these new fanlistings and each of them has its own about page. Speaking of Oh Poison!…remember to sign up on my KIM list if you would be interested in running any of the fanlistings I own.
I must say I’m satisfied with the ones I now have in my collective, but with these recent, wonderful, approvals I might let one or two go. And even if I don’t do it now, people on my KIM list always have first dib. I don’t normally post at the The Fanlistings board if I already have a good number of people interested so getting listed definitely improves your chances of being chosen in a future adoption scenario ;)

The last adoption round went as follows:
- The Bride fanlisting was adopted by Melanie and moved to http://eternal-summer.com/bride;
- Both the Craig Nicholls and Romanticism fanlistings were closed, but I kept the members list just in case someone re-opens them in the future and doesn’t want to start from scratch.
No other fanlistings adoptions planned right now, but who knows ;)
Remember you can always add yourself to my KIM list to get first dib on future adoptions.
Coming up…: I’m still in exam!mode plus I already have two shrines (which may as well become three) so there is nothing planned for Oh Poison! or any fanlistings at the moment.

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.
