Updates - 2003

December 14, 2003

Put Still-Life, With Pumpkins up on this site, linked from the new GetBackers fanfiction section. Also sorted Drabbles and Shortfics into their own category (and finally added the last requests from the Tanabata Challenge that weren't RPS - my friends are evil).

Also, the Holidays 2003 Special is up, with three giftfics so far (TeniPuri, Peace Maker, HikaGo) and more to come. Yeah, you heard me.

November 3, 2003

Still-Life, With Pumpkins (the improbably lengthy Halloween fluff fic), but you'll have to go to Wen's GetBackers Halloween Special to read it. ^_^ As for me, I'm doing NaNoWriMo, but I might have a layout change and/or some drabbles by the end of the month.

September 28, 2003

An art-centric update. Posted a couple of B&W line art pieces that will eventually be coloured, as well as a gift art gallery to showcase the luffly pics I received for Una Música Brutal (yes, finally. ^^; Am such a procrastinator). The GetBackers translations have progressed apace over the course of the last three weeks, without me ever actually bothering to make a front page announcement when I updated them. Then there's maintenance-type fiddling: making the thumbnails smaller, reformatting all the essays and drinking games, adding a link or two.

Now that everything is exactly the way I want it, the next step is of course - a new layout! *falls over*

September 7, 2003

Open/Close, Chapter 2. Yes, I realise that makes two sizeable updates within a week. I have not in fact been replaced by a shapeshifting reptilian from outer space, I swear.

September 2, 2003

Text translations for Get Backers vol.22 - no, really. I (and Wen) plan on eventually doing all of volumes 20-22, and even the upcoming 23 from Shounen Magazine. ^_^

August 19, 2003

Una Música Brutal, a fairly lengthy Get Backers story. (Character spoilers up to the end of the Cards Arc, so cave lector.)

August 1, 2003

Made a new Harry Potter section, for my Tanabata drabbles (two so far and another one coming ^^;).

July 22, 2003

A few ongoing tweaks to the layout (including a snippet of java that should take care of the text-cutting-off bug, Deo et Microsoft volente), and the links page up, though incomplete.

July 13, 2003

Out of boredom the kindness of my heart, I held a Livejournal drabble challenge on Tanabata (07/07). So far the results are two 300-word shortfics, one 300-word drabble sequence, and six drabbles. I still haven't done all the requests, but I'm posting some of the finished and edited pieces, as well as a couple other shorts that never made it up here. So without further ado:

July 4, 2003

Fanfiction section reformatted, leaving... the original fiction, the hosted fics, translations and essays. *thumps head against keyboard* Gwar. But it's much easier on the eyes now.

Also, a new word-search puzzle by the sororial unit, this time with vocabulary from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

June 23, 2003

Reformatted the WK, FF7 and Gravitation stories, and added an exposition piece to the Schwarzfic series: Clean and Well-Lighted.

June 3, 2003

Summer Movie, a Gravitation vignette. (BTW, if the left half of the page cuts off at odd places, just resize the window. Stupid CSS.)

June 2, 2003

Uploaded the first half of The Berchtesgaden Debriefing, Chapter 3. You will note that the page format is new, with various tweaks to make it more legible (more printable, even, but that there's hubris). I'll be reformatting the older fics as time allows.

May 28, 2003

Integrated the content of my other fansite, because keeping the gen schtuff separate was beginning to seem ridiculous. If you didn't know I had another fansite, there's new content on nearly all pages: fanfiction, artwork, translations et al. If you did know, carry on. XD

May 26, 2003

Whopper of a layout update. The site template now validates as HTML 4.01 Strict, not a tag of non-CSS formatting markup in sight. Among other things, this means that you-the-viewer can have any screen resolution you like to spare your eyes, and the site will look essentially the same. (If it still looks crappy, it means you need to upgrade your browser. No more excuses at this point: the march of progress is inexorable. :P)

The pic of Vash and Wolfwood is from my Nigoshi Toshimi Trigun anthology (or as I typically refer to it, "I can't believe this baby cost just eight bucks").

April 11, 2003

Put up the Hikaru no Go short I posted last month on the ficlog, appositely titled Ramen. Also, see the "Drafts and Snippets" link up there? That's a LJ-memories page, and may help in your trawling (as I'm very bad at keeping my LJ fic-related-only ^^;).

March 5, 2003

Split the FF7 fics off onto their own page, and uploaded the final edit of the Christmas vignette I wrote for Talya Firedancer (previously posted on lj); it's titled White Lights, and is Cid x Vincent. ...Yes, I realise it's nearly Saint Patrick's. Leave me be.

January 16, 2003

Tweaks and fixes here and there, and a new Schwarzfic: Open/Close. It's... atypical. ^^; Due to the necessity of organising the WK fics chronologically instead of by rating, have split the fanfiction page up by series.
