Just another small update, for today -- there's more coming soon, but I thought I should post something before you all started to think I forgot about you. ^_~      Yes, I have Final Fantasy VIII, and yes, I'm playing it! Unfortunately...... I have one of those really old models of Playstations -- I bought it somewhere around the first three months of its release -- and it resets on me every ten or twenty minutes, without provocation. (Meaning it's not hot, there's no dust, etc.) So whatever you do, don't ask me about the game! I'm on disc two somewhere, so let that be enough for you. Trust me, it's a miracle I've gotten that far thanks to this faulty piece of hardware...... ><;;; General Fan Art -- I've posted another drawing by Zach Knoles...... now, normally I don't like Fei, but this is one amazing picture of him. Just be aware that it's a potential spoiler if you haven't reached disc two. ^_^ Fan Fiction -- I've finally (after how many weeks?) posted "Ramsus and the Elements" by Janus Calloway. It was submitted a long time ago, and somehow I lost it, so my apologies to the author. ^_^; And this time, I changed the filename on Azusa's story, so if it doesn't work, I'm going to have to kill the server. Amber's Art -- Just as I promised...... another pic that was under my "work in progress" category is up -- the title "Beckoning Ramsus" is a joke, but...... in any case, the rest of my comments are next to the picture, as usual.

I'm back!      Too bad I don't get any good news these days....... did you know someone stole Alicia's picture of Elly, colored it, and submitted it to another site? I cannot believe how many bastards like this have popped up over the last month alone...... I'm almost sorry RPGs are getting more attention -- it puts every fan artist/author at risk for this kind of stuff.      And this certainly isn't changing my mind about quitting, right now. I promised I would finish all works in progress, but I'm starting to regret even that...... **sigh** Fan Art -- Kamitra is back with another picture for us! ^_^ She has really become a major contributor, hasn't she? ^_~ Fan Fiction -- Err...... I think the link to Azusa's fan fic is fixed. YES, I knew there was an error in the first place, so don't ask. Amber's Artwork -- I promised I would end by posting all works that were in progress, didn't I? ^^ This update is small - a portrait of my new version of Cyrene, for DeM. Krelian Shrine -- Chapter Five of Silent Wishes has been added for your reading pleasure...... I'm debating whether or not to add a profile for Krelian himself at the moment though, like I plan for the Element shrine......

I HATE ad banners.      Hey, sorry for the long wait in updates, everyone. Believe me, if I had had any choice, this wouldn't have happened. ^^      Basically, this is what's happening -- my computer doesn't like me. I don't know quite what the problem is, but it's probably a hardware thing, so programming won't do a thing for me. ^^ Sometimes it works and sometimes not, so if you don't hear from me (and you probably won't) then don't freak out or think I hate you -- it's just my sub-intelligent machine screwing up on me again. I suggest you refrain from e-mailing me "just to talk", because I won't even see your letter until this is fixed, whatever it is. I love hearing from everyone, but I don't want to sign on one day after this is fixed, and get something saying I have 50 new messages -- it'll take me back to my FFML days, and we don't know what'll happen then. ^_~ (Besides, there are already 167 messages in my inbox, and only half of them are fan fics! ^_^;;) Fan Art -- Just one picture for you today -- Zach Knoles has given us a wonderful drawing of Shitan and Yui sharing a "tender moment" in Shevat -- at least, that's where I think it is. ^-~ Fan Fiction -- Azusa has written another Ramsus story! ^_^ You can find "On the Edge of Night" under her name on the fan fic page of course, and...... well, I tried something with the two malfunctioning links to "Walls of Twilight" and "Secret", so hopefully those will finally work! Ramsus Shrine -- Yes, it's finally up!!! I've had it done for ages, but with this stupid computer problem, I haven't been able to upload it! Azusa is writing the diary for this shrine, and I don't know about you, but she seems like the perfect person for it in my opinion. ^_~ Nations -- I've added three countries -- Noln, Nimrod, and the Eldrige (yes, it counts!). I've tried to keep it spoiler-free, since it's in the World section, but I suppose you should still exercise a little caution. ^_^ Elly Shrine -- Chapter seven of Crystal Waters is up, though I didn't get a chance to finish the other diaries, or compile all the new DeM posts I wanted to put up. Oh well...... ^_^ Anima Relics and Omnigears -- This section has been updated as well -- I've added the final relic, information on exactly who they belong to and when they were aligned (at least, for the ones aligned before the game), and a bunch of notes at the beginning. Be sure to read the notes at the beginning of the page -- they'll tell you everything you need to know about the existence of the Anima Relics in general, while the information below that is specific to each relic. I apologize to anyone who's submitted, and not heard back from us -- but we're both experiencing busy schedules, on top of this stupid hardware problem of mine, so please be patient with us -- we will get to you eventually. ^_~ Meanwhile, assuming I can work on this machine more than five minutes a day, I'm working on the Elements shrine and finishing up the last of my fan fics and art for Xenogears -- so start expecting to see some of it in the near future. ^_^ Ja mata!
