Happy Friday the 13th! It's almost Halloween again, but no intentions for a new layout or theme to associate my collective domain. However, I have been working on these past few weeks on redesigning and adding in more codes for most of our fanlistings, mainly because the older ones were crying to me for a change. With some code templates Aelyn and I created, this gave us more design varieties for our fanlistings. So far, I've completed 50x50 codes, but I will slowly work on 75x50 and 100x50 later down the line. I'm currently finishing up a few fanlistings that I got approved for, so expect some upcoming updates on them!

Fanlistings aside, I've processed new members for my Pokemon clique. I'm so glad to see this site growing, especially with the rise of Neocities users. In addition, rules, CSS codes, and a few wordings on the index page were slightly adjusted. If you haven't joined the Pokemon clique yet, please do check it out!

After weeks trying to find the best contact form that'll fit my needs without worrying spam (for now), I was able to get a new one up and working. Thanks Aelyn for helping me with this! Hopefully this will be here for a good while because the CAPTCHA on the old form apparently doesn't work with the new PHP 8. I've resorted to Google reCAPTCHA with this new code. I've also gotten tired of the old layout and decided I'll stick to a temporary layout integrated with Bootstrap! It looks so clean and I'm slowly liking this new CSS style.

Some month or two ago, I was approved to several of my favorite series to make a fanlisting for! Throughout this process, however, the last two subject listed below kept me busy, mainly because there were no inspiration or whatsoever to get the layout done. A lot of time was also wasted in doing and undoing things, so that after several hours I would have effectively traveled from square one to ten and back again. Personally, I think it was the submission deadline that gave me the push I needed. Nonetheless, please give these fanlistings and let me know what you think!

1. Angel Sanctuary - Series
2. Time Stranger Kyoko - Series
3. Big O - Series

Aelyn warned me that the FanUpdate script was already dying and wouldn't be updated in the future, and the PHP 8 upgrade that destroyed the function of the script was the final nail in the coffin... Therefore, Aelyn was generous enough to install her news script for me! In return, I designed a guestbook layout as my way of saying thank you. She went out of her way to help me despite how many areas of the network she needed to update/fix just so that they are working in par with PHP 8. Thank you again! I hope I won't have to change the script for a good while.

Since the opening of my Pokemon clique I Choose You!, I was surprised to receive many members, thus been pretty successful so far. I haven't been keeping up with the newer generations of Pokemon, but I did wait it off for a few months until I was able to find someone who was able to design the 2D sprites. Unfortunately, the official sprites for Gen 9 are only available in 3D versions and the thought of uploading 3D won't match with the previous generations that are already in 2D. Even so, I've uploaded them all at some point in time, but didn't realize that almost half of the sprites appeared broken. That said, I apologize for those that wanted to download them before. It's fixed now and I also processed a few more members as well!
