Since September 2009, I have been in Japan on an exchange. Before I left to Japan, I thought I would have time to update my sites. However, once I arrived, I realized that updating and adding content to my sites while on this exchange has, is and will be impossible. Fanlistings, on the other hand, will be updated monthly due to my wish to keep them approved by thefanlistings.org. Possibly around May or June, I will return to this network and give this network the facelift it needs.

Yup, it’s true. Maternal Prophecy does have a new layout. This version, 2.0 Misato Kisaragi, features, you wouldn’t believe it, Misato Kisaragi! I love Misato. After Shinji, Misato is my favorite character in the series. She’s a strong woman, who’s not perfect. She also cares deeply for Shinji, the only woman in the anime who does from Day One. Her maternal love for Shinji, I believe, can be found in the lyrics of the song, which I will explain more later when I finally write my interpretation of the song. I’m really happy that the layout worked out because I was worried that it wouldn’t turn out right. But, it did, thank goodness! I hope you like it I do. The three lines in the layout picture is actually lines from the song (Cruel Angel’s Thesis, actually).

In addition to the layout, I also updated the fanlisting with the enthusiast script. Everything is working and back to normal, so if you are fan, please join this fanlisting.

I finally discovered and fixed the problem that had occurred in the network’s reaction to the Enthusiast script. Hurrah!
So finally I can now use this script for my fanlistings. So far, only How to Save a Life and Sawayaka use this script. There will be more in the future.

Also, Mistaken, my Sawako Kuronuma of Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You) fanlisting, has been renamed Sawayaka. The site also has a new layout, and like Frank, is slowly becoming a character tribute than just a fanlisting. Unfortunately, the keyword there is “slowly”.

Well, that’s about it for updates.

Yes, I have finally given Frank content. Some of this content was written two months ago, but since I wanted to upload those pages with the basic introduction pages, I did not upload them until today. It also took me forever to write those basic introduction pages, because I never had the will power to write those pages until today (which is weird because I just got home after a tiring 8-hour shift at my job). Well, some of the pages might have grammar mistakes and sound rushed and insensible, but in a week or two, i’ll edit them. I just wanted those sections written and uploaded. Once I finished and uploaded a majority of the planned content, I’ll edit and revise all the content information together. I promise. Also, I finally uploaded the black and white manga scans as well. All of these scans were scanned from my Japanese manga volumes by me. You may use them because they are not mine, but please credit me as the scanner if you take any of the images since they took so long to scan. (Also, only take a few pictures, not all of them.).

Lastly, I have finally installed Enthusiast to my domain. However, due to errors in the mail script, I am not able to use the script yet for my fanlistings. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I am going to try and figure out the problem. Until this problem is fix, there will no updates for Frank.

All fanlistings have been updated.

Also, right now, I am currently installing enthusiast script to my fanlistings. It is going to take a lot of time because i have six existing fanlistings to put in the system and then i have to learn how to use the system to my sites. It is going to take some time to work things out, but I think the switch is going to be worth it. Also, I might have to email all existing members of the fanlistings to resign up because the new system forces members to have a password.

A new affiliate – a fanlisting to Kaworu Nagisa! Yay!

I also finishing writing the artist’s biography and translating the lyrics to the song. Now the only thing left I have to do is my interpretation of the song. It should be finished by this month. I have also added some more code buttons as well. Well, I am planning to make a new layout for this site, so look forward to that.

Maternal Prophecy has a new affiliate – the Misato and Kaji relationship fanlisting.

I also created more code buttons for the fanlisting.

I do have some projects for this fanlistings. One is to write the song information. The other one is to create a new layout. I might even change the name as well.. Who knows what I will do, but these are some of my ideas. Well, see you soon!

Yup! I got bored of the old Hatsumi layout, so I made a new layout. It features Yaya Higuchi of the manga series, Othello. While I was finishing the series a few months ago, I found this picture. When I find picture that I want to use for a layout, I come up with a certain layout design, but unfortunately most of the time it doesn’t work the way I want it to. For this layout’s picture, I thought of a design for a new layout archive, but since I have been having designer’s block for a new design for the collective, I thought I should just make the planned design I have for a layout archive to be the layout for the collective… but like all my ideas, it didn’t work out. For a few hours, I had to change the direction of the photos and move images.. The final layout you see here is actually quite different from the original design that I have on my sketchpad. Well, the layout like all my layouts it seems took me forever to make, but I do really like the original product.

The lyrics used in this layout is from the song, Bed of Lies by Matchbox 20. I decided to use these Matchbox 20’s song lyrics because when I was designing the layout, I was listening to my Matchbox 20 playlist. Since I love Rob Thomas’ lyrics and voice, I thought his lyrics were perfect for the emotions expressed in Yaya’s eyes.. although Yaya hasn’t created any “winters” with anyone, but herself…

I decided to delete the guestbook because it is filled with spam entries. When I have figured out how to eliminate and prevent spam entires, it will be re-uploaded, but for now, no guestbook. Sorry for the inconvenience this may have. If you do have a comment or suggestion, please do not be afraid to email me. My email address is supercooljenna@gmail.com.

Yes and double yes! How to Save a Life has a new layout. I actually made the new layout last year around December, but things took over and I just did not have the time to code it and upload it. Recently, since the term ended, I had the time, so up the layout went. It is the first time I used large patterns when designing my layouts. I saw other webdesigners use them, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon… and well, I think I might stay on the bandwagon and use them more often….

Oh, I almost forgot. Here’s a screen shot of the current layout:

Well, in addition to the new layout, I have also edited the informative pages including the main character bios. I think probably this month I am going to focus my attention in writing the character profiles for MOP GIRL since last december I finished watching the whole series. It was great! If you haven’t watched MOP GIRL, I recommend that you do now. It is not the most high quality drama, but it is a lot of fun and incredibly enjoyable. This drama can be downloaded with hard subs on Drama-Fanatics (btw).
