Want to see what's made me so sensitive about stealing? Take a look at the letter Lore and I wrote regarding the matter. It's extremely important.      **sigh** These last few days just haven't been good. ^^ But I did manage to bring you one more update -- and directly after the other one, too! Amazing, isn't it?      I'm going to have a bit less time to update and build the shrines from now on, though, because school started today. Technically speaking, the classes themselves don't take much time, but I still don't know how long my homework will take, and I also have a temporary job (two weeks, don't worry) that will take up my time. My main job will only be on school days though, so...... I'll probably still get things done at the same rate. Believe it or not, I've made a lot of progress with the shrines -- you just haven't seen it because I haven't posted it yet! Message Forum -- Another new section! Thanks to Nutz, we now have a GOOD message board! It's fast, it's pretty easy to use, and now you'll get faster answers to your questions as well. In fact, this'll probably be better than e-mailing me, if you have game or history questions -- I or another member will be able to answer them much faster on the message board. This is the solution to the e-mail crisis we've all been waiting for. ^_~ Fan Fiction -- So many stories....... Two chapters of A Pair of Angels (finally - sorry for the delay!), and a fan fic that Rune wrote for me (Thanks Rune!). Amber's Artwork -- Just a small update -- I've added my character sketches to Igraine -- modified and complete with my copyright on the image, of course. After the fiasco of having my fan work stolen, I do NOT want anyone to mistake her for fan work. She's my original, so everyone please respect that, and don't display or otherwise steal it. ^^ I worked very hard to finally find the right look for her. Shitan shrine -- This one has been finished for quite awhile...... at least a month. But I had my reasons for waiting, and now they've been solved (I hope). (Ugh.... I'm completely revising Shadows Falling - you'll see why when you look in here.) So go and enjoy it...... And please don't steal anything. ^^

All I have to say is that you all had BETTER be grateful for these new scans......      That's right -- several more scans from my Perfect Works book will soon be added to the site in one way or another -- and these are the last, no questions, no exceptions. Pages are falling out already!!!! It may not mean much to you, but I always take care of my books, and the fact that this one is also rare makes this even worse. If three fall out, more possibly could, and I'm not going to risk that. So as I said......      I hope you're all grateful. I won't be doing this again, ever. But at least you'll have these. Elly shrine -- Chapter six of Crystal Waters is finally up! (Hmm...... can any of you tell which historical reference I made with that title? ^_~) I'll be adding a page for her family soon, after I have Ramsus's shrine up. (Yup, it's almost done!) Krelian shrine -- Chapter four of Silent Wishes has been added. ^_^ And I'll probably be adding something special about him in a new section too, if I find the information I want. It'll be a "tidbits" section, like what I added to the Ex-Elements. (Or rather, what I will add.) Sorry for the rant, but it was a real blow to see my book start falling apart, even just this little bit. ^^ I'm also in a bad mood because of a certain site that has stolen my pics, and those of my friends. I'll have more on that next update -- and you'll also get new fan fiction, some fan art, and maybe my new designs for Igraine. (If I can be sure some fool won't rip them off thinking they're fan art. ^^ I will NOT stand for people stealing my original works!) Ja mata ne.

Six days....... Well on the up side, at least I'm getting through all those fan fics! And once I do, I'll have a lot more time to make updates for this site again. ^_^      Some of you have been wondering why I've left "Crystal Waters" (Elly shrine) hanging so long...... Well, I've been trying to catch up to it with the other diaries - mainly "Silent Wishes" - but that'll take too long, I'm afraid. ^^ When any of these are updated depends on our inspiration, but like I said, after I finish these fan fics for RPGamer, I'll be writing them a bit more quickly. Expect to see chapter six of "Crystal Waters" up soon! ^_^ Gifts and Awards -- Wow, we've received an award! I didn't think it was likely we'd get one, but it looks like I was wrong. ^_^ Many thanks to the people who have chosen us for this. Fan Fiction -- I've fixed the link to "Secrets" (I hope), and I've added one of my own new fan fics, "Shinonome". Names and Places -- Information on Nimrod, finally! Thank you for the tip, Rune! (You have no idea how infuriating it was knowing that the name was a historical reference, but not being able to remember what it was!) Ido's shrine -- Calis has given us the first chapter of "Heart of Chaos"! And, as a general update, the shrines belonging to Ido, Elly, and Krelian all have their individual banners now in their link sections. The Ramsus shrine is currently halfway done, and next in line are the Elements. ^_^ Shitan, as I said, will probably be last, even though I've already finished everything. Sigurd's as well, though for different reasons. But don't worry -- it won't be long before they're all done, and then I can finally finish the million faqs I started for the game info section.

Whew! I'm still swamped with fan fics, but I wanted to get this update out of the way so 1) you all wouldn't be badgering me about it (^_~), and 2) so I could work without all these "things to do" hanging over my head. Trust me, just finishing the shrines and the game faqs is enough all by itself!      So anyway, this is a rather huge update -- all for you! It's a bit of a surprise to find out we actually have a group of "followers" (frequent visitors and friends) for the page, but I'm not complaining. ^_^ We're doing this work for you, after all! Fan Art -- I have another adorable pic of Billy's orphanage children from Kamitra, and two absolutely beautiful drawings from a new artist -- Jenifer Zee. (Well, new to this page anyway. ^_^) Fan Fiction -- Finally! I've managed to get Rune's New Gospel up, and Irwin Kwan and Deona have graced us with some rare pieces of poetry. ^_^ I've added links to my shrine fics as well, under my own name, but the new stuff (as well as the Shadows Falling page) are still in progress at the moment. Ido Shrine -- It's DONE!!!!!! What else? ^_^ The diary fic isn't posted quite yet, but that'll come soon. It also includes a mini-shrine to Grahf, at the request/suggestion of one of my friends. Faq -- I've added two parts about the shrines...... and don't let it confuse you. I really will be making banners for them, very, very soon. Krelian Shrine -- Chapter Three of Silent Wishes is up (FINALLY), but I think it's a bit..... strange. Then again, who am I to judge? ^_~ New Section -- This is the "Q&A" section. ^_~ It's similar to the Mailbag section at Nisan Sanctuary, but I'm afraid you still have to use conventional e-mailing methods. ^_~ It contains strange and/or frequently asked questions about Xenogears that are not answered in the rest of the site. It is the Faq's counterpart, really. ^_^
