I want to apologize for the long absence and admit that I've been a bit slack on posting updates lately. I've definitely been around only processing fanlistings and cliques, and adding in more cliques into Aquarel's directory on a daily basis. But I'll be honest, there hasn't been much to update since there haven't been any new releases or works to feature. That said, I do have a few updates to share!

The "I Choose You" Pokémon clique has been updated: you can now select an additional favorite field, allowing you to choose a Pokéball alongside your favorite Pokémon. To ensure everyone has a Poké Ball assigned, members who joined prior to this update were randomly assigned one. If you'd like to customize yours, please fill out the update form.

Thanks for sticking around, and I promise to try and be a bit more diligent with updates moving forward!

I discovered just a week ago that my contact form had suddenly stopped working, so I sincerely apologize to anyone who tried reaching me through it over the past few months. Google updated their CAPTCHA, and I completely overlooked the notification in my emails. I asked Aelyn for help in getting a functional form set up; hopefully this one will last much longer. The blog script I am using has also been updated to its newest version, which includes several fixes. Now I can finally run multiple categories, which makes me very happy. Thank you Aelyn for always working so hard to keep all our scripts up to date!

A new fanlisting is now online for the Strong Women updates month!

1. Resident Evil: Ada Wong - Game Characters
   The design process itself took longer than expected. I spent quite a bit of time rummaging through my image folders, trying to find something that would inspire me. Then I came across a few nicely rendered versions of Ada and thought, "Why not? It could work." I wasn’t entirely sure what I was going to do with it at first, but after extracting the image and staring at it for a while, I finally started to get the direction. From not knowing what I was going to do to this end result, I have to say, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out in the end! It was one of those moments when something just clicks, even if it took a bit of back-and-forth to get there.

Wishing everyone to have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving week. I am excited to share more updates soon!

Can you believe how quickly time flies? December is almost here, and before we know it, it’ll be 2026.

This month has been all about big changes behind the scenes, especially on our fanlistings. We’ve been making some significant edits, and the spotlight is on Aelyn’s recent update to the Listing Admin script via Enamour, so these adjustments are all part of the effort to bring the script to the next level. In short, here’s a rundown of the updates and improvements:

1. Every fanlisting subject now shows the number of fans listed per country when you check out the country section on the fan list. A small but cool addition that gives a better sense of the global fanbase!
2. The total number of countries is now visible on each subject’s index page, plus it’s included in Enamour’s owned section where all fanlistings are showcased. It’s a nice touch that adds more clarity to how widespread each fanlisting really is.
3. Fan counts across all pages are now correctly displayed, even when there are over 100 fans from a single country. This is especially important for the bigger fan communities, where the fan count can get pretty hefty.

I’m currently helping Aelyn with the front-end templates to implement these changes. To be honest, I’m still not quite versed in working with the deeper, internal script updates she’s been tweaking and perfecting for years. It’s a bit out of my wheelhouse, but I’m happy to assist where I can!
