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!

A thousand apologies for a (very) long absence! I certainly haven't forgotten about this place. Life just seems to have gotten the better of me and it's easy to watch the new year slip by without even realizing it.

For several months, I have been working closely with Aelyn, changing and adding new contents for both the Keyblade and Pokemon clique. Aelyn has modded to enable favorites field to either be a regular text field or a dropdown list. She also has made it more simple to customize how I want to display the members list with "personality" compared to a fanlisting which normally consists only a name, email, URL and country. Due to recent changes to the script, the rules section were slightly updated. I went through 300+ members to do my sporadic link checks and pruned out dead links, links that took me a trip to find the code (and never found them), and links that had decided not to link back to the clique. Although there were a handful I had to unfortunately remove, I've added more new members to the clique, welcome!

From Aelyn's effort in coding to converting to HTML5 semantics, to renaming every sprite files, then adding over 1000+ Pokémon names onto the dropdown field (region forms Galarian, Alola, Hisuian, and Paldean included), she's also donated Pokéballs for the codes section! Thank you so much!
