I've been not-so-great in terms of health lately, so that has meant less time for fanlistings and my websites. Of course, you can read all about that at my public blog if you really want. So, let's get to the point. I've found a little time to update my fanlistings and various sites, thankfully, so let's get started!

First off, I've been on a total layout kick. I had an urge to make a layout while I was in the hospital recently, but couldn't get the energy up to until about yesterday. I revamped/rewrote most of Overstuffed-Closet.net, and I must admit, I think this is my favorite layout I have ever made for the domain. I love pastels, I really do. :D Go visit!

I also decided to recode, revamp, and totally redo the entire blog @ haley.nu. It's a new Wordpress theme, new layout, new content, but same art. Yay for Alphonse Mucha. He is love.

Another site was redone: Deep Magic (not the collective)! I am thinking of redoing the collective shortly, but I may decided against that.

Yet ANOTHER site was redone: Haley Writes! I really wanted to have some choices for visitors to choose from, so currently there are two fandom layouts at the site, Chronicles of Narnia and Legend of Zelda. I recently upgraded the site's Wordpress, though, so there are two dumb default templates too. Never mind those!

Guess what? More sites redone. I redid the Faye Wong fanlisting to be a bit more simplistic, the Tottoko Hamutaro fanlisting was also redone with a very orange/pink layout, and finally, the Ukiyo-e fanlisting was also revamped. Ehe.

Now onto recently opened fanlistings. I opened Classic Beauty, the Anna Popplewell (physical) fanlisting a few days ago, and am in the process of re-adopting the fanlisting for Kugyou Kouki of Imadoki!. I have the fanlisting finished, but the current owner has not sent me the members list. Hopefully I can open it for business soon! I was also just approved today for the relationship between Aslan and Lucy Pevensie from the Chronicles of Narnia books/movies, so I hope to open that soon, too.

Onto updates! At O-C.net, I have updated the following fanlistings: Alexander the Great, All About Us, Archaeology, Battle Royale, Boots, Chihiro, Elizabeth I, Enka, ER, Faye Wong, FFVIII - Eyes on Me, Goran Visnjic, Halle Berry, House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Ian McKellen, Jolin Tsai, Kiki, Kimono, Kylie Minogue, Laguna/Raine, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Luka Kovac, Malice Mizer, Martina Hingis, misono, Music of the Night, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Not Gonna Get Us, People: Japanese, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Rurutia, Soul Calibur - Talim, t.A.T.u., The Last Samurai, The Vampire Chronicles, Tottoko Hamutaro, Ukiyo-e, and X.

Over at AyuNation, the following listings have new members: (miss)understood, Ayumi Hamasaki, evolution, GUILTY, my name's WOMEN, RAINBOW, and walking proud.

At Deep Magic, the following fanlistings have been updated: Anna Popplewell, Georgie Henley, Queen Jadis, and Seven Friends of Narnia.

I know a lot of us are in school right now, but hopefully the amount of people joining fanlistings won't go down. I've had a surge of members for some fanlistings, and a lessening amount for others. I think it's because of different university and high school schedules across the world. Hmm.

To start things going right off the bat, I recently redid the main site, Overstuffed-Closet.net to feature - yes - Ayumi Hamasaki. :) I wanted to have a crisp, happy layout versus the previous layout featuring William Moseley which was dark and brooding. Haha.

Speaking of new layouts, two fanlistings have new layouts: the Rainie Yang fanlisting and the t.A.T.u. fanlisting. Both are formatted for larger, wider screens than their previous layouts, so hopefully they look OK for everyone!

I have opened two new fanlistings these past few days: the Kugyou Kouki/Yamazaki Tanpopo (Imadoki!) fanlisting, and the Sakura Doroppusu (Utada, Hikaru) fanlisting which I adopted back from Puff. Yay!

On to updates! At O-C.net, the following listings have been updated: Adobe Illustrator, Alexander the Great, Archaeology, Battle Royale, Beliy Plashik, Boots, Chihiro/Sen, COLORS, Elizabeth I, ER, Ezra Hanson/Taylor Hanson, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Halle Berry, HTML, Ian McKellen, Imadoki!, Kiki, Kiki's Delivery Service, Kimono, KH2 - Passion, Kouki/Tanpopo, Kylie Minogue, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Luka Kovac, Malice Mizer, Martina Hingis, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Not Gonna Get Us, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Rurutia, Sakura Doroppusu, Soul Calibur - Chai Xianghua, t.A.T.u., The Last Samurai, The Vampire Chronicles, Tottoko Hamutaro, and X.

Over at AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have been updated: (miss)understood (album), A Song for XX, Ayumi Hamasaki, GUILTY, and RAINBOW (album).

And finally, at Deep Magic, the following listings have been updated: Queen Jadis, the White Witch and Seven Friends of Narnia.

I have been busy doing nothing lately, so I guess it's time I got to an update!

I recently revamped the t.A.T.u. fanlisting like 2 times, but I can't seem to make the perfect layout. Maybe I will go back to hardcoded HTML versus Wordpress. I dunno. It will be in the works.

This isn't fanlisting related, but it's related to other websites I run, so I figured I would post it. I recently moved my online portfolio (meaning web designs and vector art) from O-C.net to haley.NU, so you can see the new site at haley.NU. It's a very simple design, and I don't have that much content on it, but I still like it. :)

I've opened three new fanlistings in the past week: the fanlisting for Kugyou Kouki and Yamazaki Tanpopo from Imadoki!, and two Chronicles of Narnia fanlisting, the fanlisting for the Prince Caspian Original Soundtrack and the Seven Friends of Narnia! The Prince Caspian fanlisting was previously run by my good friend Korey at Deep-Magic.org, but he decided to transfer it to my care. So yay! Thank you Korey!

Let's get to updates. Over at O-C.net, the following listings have been updated: All About Us, Archaeology, Battle Royale, Beliy Plashik, Chihiro, COLORS, Elizabeth I, Faye Wong, FF8 - Eyes on Me, Goran Visnjic, Halle Berry, House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Ian McKellen, Imadoki!, Kimono, KH2 - Passion, Kouki and Tanpopo, Kylie Minogue, Laguna/Raine, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Malice Mizer, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Not Gonna Get Us, People: Japanese, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Rurutia, Soul Calibur - Chai Xianghua, Soul Calibur II - Talim, The Vampire Chronicles, and Ukiyo-e.

At AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have been updated: (miss)understood (Album), Ayumi Hamasaki, evolution, GUILTY, my name's WOMEN, and talkin' 2 myself.

And finally, over at Deep-Magic.org, I've updated the following listings: Anna Popplewell and Seven Friends of Narnia.

Busy, busy, busy! Between staffing at The Anime Fanlistings Network AND The Physical Fanlistings Network, I have been slow with revamping fanlistings. I think I've only done one recently out of a bunch on a mental to-do list...

I redid the t.A.T.u. fanlisting with a VERY temporary wordpress layout. I personally like the style, but not the graphics. :P I am trying to find the right picture(s) of the girls to use in a layout, so for now the site is in "temporary mode".

I opened three new fanlistings recently: the Adobe Illustrator fanlisting at O-C.net, and the fanlistings for evolution and walking proud by Ayumi Hamasaki at AyuNation.org! Yay. I have two upcoming fanlistings (one at TFL, one at TAFL), so look for them ASAP!

Now for member updates. Over at O-C.net, the following fanlistings have new members: Abby Lockhart, Adobe Illustrator, All About Us, All Characters of ER, Battle Royale, Beliy Plaschik, Boots, Chihiro, COLORS, Elizabeth I, ER, Ezra/Taylor, Eyes on Me, Gabriel Aubry, Halle Berry, HTML, Ian McKellen, Jolin Tsai, Kiki, Kimono, KH2 - Passion, Kylie Minogue, Lena Katina, LiveJournal Icons, Malice Mizer, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Rurutia, Soul Calibur - Chai Xianghua, Soul Calibur - Talim, t.A.T.u., The Vampire Chronicles, Tottoko Hamutaro, X, and Yulia Volkova.

At AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have new members: Ayumi Hamasaki, Boys & Girls, Duty (Album), evolution, talkin' 2 myself, and walking proud.

And at Deep Magic, the following fanlistings have been updated: Anna Popplewell and William Moseley (physical).

I have been busy with TAFL staffing duties this past week, so I really only had time to get one new site up: an anime/manga collective! Technically, it's not really a collective, but more so a place to highlight my anime/manga fanlistings versus hiding them at O-C.net. I opened the collective this morning, so go check it out:



Did I mention here that my collective at O-C.net has surpassed the 21,000 member mark? Holy crap.

Onto updates! The following listings at O-C.net have new members: Archaeology, Chihiro, Faye Wong, HTML, Ian McKellen, Imadoki!, Kimono, KH2 - Passion, Kylie Minogue, Lolita Fashion, Malice Mizer, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Rurutia, The Last Samurai, The Vampire Chronicles, Hamtaro, and X.

Over at AyuNation.org, the Ayumi Hamasaki fanlisting has been updated.

And finally, over at Deep-Magic.org, the Jadis, the White Witch fanlisting has been updated.

I have been busy as a bee with fanlistings and other websites lately, and also extremely fortunate. I started to do some revamps of listings, but caught up in new approvals that I had to stop. Haha. Might as well jump into them!

For starters, I redid Overstuffed-Closet to feature British actor William Moseley. He is actually the first guy to be featured as the layout on O-C.net since the site opened. No real new content, but the entire site has been redone. Yay! I also updated and revamped my icon collective/archive/whatever, HANABI.

In terms of fanlisting revamps, I redid the Anna Popplewell fanlisting to feature a new Wordpress layout I created. It's not as fancy/pretty as the old layout, but I like its organization and simplicity. The site was also upgraded to Wordpress 2.6, along with any other WP installs across my domains.

I have been so so lucky with fanlisting approvals. I was approved for not one, but TWO huge wishlisters recently: ER (TV Shows) and Kylie Minogue (Musicians: Female). I cannot thank Linze and Joey enough for approving me for these. Both are up and running, so go join if you haven't already! I also opened my first Physical fanlisting recently, the physical fanlisting for William Moseley!

Also, due to the adoptions of a few large listings, my collective total of fans listed across O-C.net passed 21000 fans. That number does not include AyuNation, but I am still in shock. Amazing.

Onto updates. The following listings at O-C.net were updated: Alexander, Archaeology, Battle Royale, Boots, Chihiro, COLORS, Queen Elizabeth I, Eyes on Me, Goran Visnjic, Halle Berry, House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Kiki's Delivery Service, Kimono, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), misono, Nintendo, People: Japanese, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Rurutia, Talim, The Last Samurai, X, and Xianghua.

At Deep-Magic.org, the following fanlistings were updated: Anna Popplewell and Jadis, the White Witch.

And of course, over at AyuNation.org, these fanlistings have been updated: (miss)understood (album), A BALLADS, A Song for XX (album), Ayumi Hamasaki, CAROLS, Free & Easy, RAINBOW, Secret (album), and talkin' 2 myself.

After some painful rejections letters from adoptions and TFL alike, I've been focusing a lot on current sites versus upcoming/new sites. I have one new addition to the collective family of O-C.net, so please give a warm welcome to DEEP MAGIC - a Chronicles of Narnia fanlisting collective. I've partnered with my good friend Korey of Road-Darkens.org to build a collective of our Narnia-related fanlistings, so the result was the collective at D-M.org. Korey has two upcoming listings, and I have three current ones on the site, so please check it out.

Speaking of Deep Magic, the site itself has been updated massively. I can't even list everything new. Just trust me: it's allllll good. :)

I have opened two new fanlistings recently, though, so can't forget to plug them! I adopted the Boots (Fashion/Beauty) fanlisting from Jessica, and opened the fanlisting for Japanese singer misono. Yay!

In terms of updates, the following fanlistings at O-C.net have been updated: Alexander the Great, All About Us, Battle Royale, Boots, Chihiro, Elizabeth I, Gabriel Aubry, Genres: Foreign Films, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Halle Berry, House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Kana, Kiki, Kimono, KH2 - Passion, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), misono, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Not Gonna Get Us, People: Japanese, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Rakka, Reki, t.A.T.u., The Last Samurai, and The Vampire Chronicles.

Over at AyuNation.org, the following listings have new members: Ayumi Hamasaki, CAROLS, Dearest, GUILTY, and talkin' 2 myself.

And finally, at Deep-Magic.org, the following fanlisting has new members: Anna Popplewell.

I've been workin' up a storm on revamping a few listings lately, so I might as well plug all of them, right? Here we go!

First of all, some of you (probably very few) noticed the two layout changes at AyuNation. It was changed twice over the course of 7 hours on Wednesday, so if you saw the blue one, forgive me for the crappiness. The red layout (current version) is much better. Ehe. Two other fanlistings have gotten new layouts: Lolita Fashion and Princess Zelda. The Zelda fanlisting has also been updated with some kickass screenshots from Super Smash Bros Brawl. Yay!

I recently opened one new fanlisting after an adoption, the fanlisting for kimono! Thank you Jordan for allowing me to adopt it!

Also, after a 1.5 month hiatus and year long neglect, I have reopened the JListings Directory. The site is running on a different script, a new layout, new coding, and new rules. Please see the 'About' page and read about what's changed. Unfortunately, all previous links in the database were deleted, which was over 350. :( I hope to get more people than ever joining, so if you own a Japan-related fanlisting, please join!

At Deep-Magic.org, I have added a few indexes/lists of various things. Took me FOREVER, so I am happy that's over with! The site is like 98% complete, but still running as of now.

In terms of updates, at O-C.net the following fanlistings have been updated: Abby Lockhart, Anna Popplewell, HTML, Ian McKellen, Jolin Tsai, Kimono, LiveJournal Icons, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Nintendo, People: Japanese, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Xianghua, Talim, t.A.T.u., The Vampire Chronicles, Tottoko Hamutaro, and X.

At Deep-Magic.org, Jadis the White Witch has been updated with new members.

Over at AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have new members: (miss)understood (album), Dearest, RAINBOW (album), and talkin' 2 myself.

So I've been working non-stop on new domains. Besides revamping haley.nu like I said in my last post, I have bought another domain and gotten it mostly up. However, I am totally opening it because I want to. Let's get to it!

First order of business is that I bought and opened Deep-Magic.org the other day. It's a Chronicles of Narnia book/movie fansite + forum, so if you are into CON, I encourage you to check it out. We have a lot of stuff up already, as well as a lot of stuff in the works. You will notice most of the Book info is down, but will be up shortly. The forum is 100% open, but we are needing new members and mods. I will be posting job openings soon. I also moved two fanlistings to the domain: Queen Jadis, the White Witch and Georgie Henley. They are still the same, but new server. :)

Speaking of Narnia, Anna-Popplewell.org has been revamped. New layout, new info, new pictures, etc. I like this layout seeing as it is way more functional than the last one. Yay!

In other layout revamps, the t.A.T.u. fanlisting has been revamped and converted to WordPress. I am too lazy to see if I mentioned this before, so forgive me if I have!

I recently adopted one new fanlisting, the Music of the Night (Phantom of the Opera) fanlisting from Anne! ::squish:: I am so happy. This is my favorite "Phantom" song from both the movie and the stage show, and I am so happy to run it now. Ehe. Check it out!

On to the member updates, I suppose. Over at O-C.net the following listings have been updated: Anna Popplewell, Archaeology, Battle Royale, Cpop, Chihiro/Sen, Elizabeth I, Ezra Hanson/Taylor Hanson, Foreign Films, Girl With a Pearl Earring, House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Ian McKellen, Kiki's Delivery Service, Laguna/Raine, Lena Katina, LiveJournal Icons, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Music of the Night, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, People: Japanese, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Talim, t.A.T.u., and Yulia Volkova.

Over at AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have been updated: Ayumi Hamasaki and CAROLS.

I've been working really hard on haley.nu lately, and the new layout is the result. I'm really happy with it considering I worked a lot on the Javascript DIV elements. They were pretty confusing at first, but I finally got it! :) Yay! So go visit. I have some new content there, including a new site: inspiration. It's basically a little link directory of all my personal favorite links that give me inspiration. Some of you are on there!

Speaking of new layouts/revamps, I just finished converting the t.A.T.u. fanlisting to WordPress, and thus moved it to a subfolder to make things a little neater. When you go to the main index of the "tatu" subdomain, you will see several images representing each t.A.T.u. fanlisting hosted. So yeah. You don't *need* to update your links, but it would be nice. The site also has some new content (ie: avatars, wallpapers, info), so go check it out.

I have two new fanlistings to report on: the first one is the fanlisting for Halle Berry (which I mentioned last time), and the second is for the AMAZING song Music of the Night from the Phantom of the Opera movie and stage show. I was just approved today by Anne, and I was so excited I built it in 1.5 hours. Haha. Thanks, Anne!

On to the updates, I guess! Here we go. At O-C.net, the following listings have been updated: Abby Lockhart, Alexander the Great, Anna Popplewell, Archaeology, Battle Royale, Elizabeth I, Georgie Henley, Halle Berry, HTML, Ian McKellen, Queen Jadis, Jolin Tsai, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Luka Kovac, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Nintendo, People: Japanese, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Talim, Tottoko Hamutaro, and X.

Over at AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have new members: (miss)understood (album), A BALLADS, A Song for XX (song), Ayumi Hamasaki, Duty (album), and RAINBOW (album).

Wow...I have been really busy with sites lately. I looked back at the last O-C.net update, and I am thinking, "Where did my time go again?" Haha. Oh well. Let's get to it!

First and most important, I moved the Anna Popplewell fanlisting to its own domain. I moved the site to Anna-Popplewell.org and set up a WordPress blog for it because putting up news and new graphics was getting a little tedious. Now, with the site 100% run on WP, everything is a lot easier for me to manage. I'm slowly adding a high quality picture gallery, so hopefully that will be up soon. I have over 200 pictures to add, so please be patient. The site has been redone layout wise with a new photo, so I am very happy I made the move.

Secondly, I have a bunch of brand new fanlistings that have just opened. :) Two of which are Chronicles of Narnia related: Queen Jadis, the White Witch (played by Tilda Swinton in the films) and Lucy Pevensie in the flesh, Georgie Henley! I just got approved for Miss Georgie yesterday, so I set that one up in about 1.5 hours last night - record time. Haha! The other two fanlistings I opened are for the album X (Kylie Minogue), and then I was lucky to adopt the fanlisting for People: Japanese! Yay! I also have one adopted fanlisting that is finished (the Halle Berry fanlisting), but have not heard back from the previous owner to get the members list. Hopefully I can get that one up and running soon!

I should probably mention the gallery @ Rainie-Yang.net is back up and functional after the hacking disaster a month and a half ago. Weeeeee.

In terms of updates, the following fanlistings at O-C.net have been updated: Anna Popplewell, Archaeology, Battle Royale, Queen Elizabeth I, Ezra Hanson/Taylor Hanson, Eyes on Me, Georgie Henley, Girl with a Pearl Earring, HTML, Jadis, Jolin Tsai, KH2 - Passion, Kouki Kugyou, Lena Katina, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Malice Mizer, Nintendo 64, People: Japanese, Rainie Yang, Square Enix, t.A.T.u., The Last Samurai, The Vampire Chronicles, X, and Yulia Volkova.

Over at AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have been updated: About You, appears, Ayumi Hamasaki, Dearest, End of the World, RAINBOW, and talkin' 2 myself.

This week has been very productive for me, amazingly. I guess I should get right to the good news, eh? Well, I've opened up a new domain dedicated to all of my personal sites that were once a part of O-C.net. I felt these sites were getting kind of ignored by me, so I registered a domain all for them. haley.nu hosts my public blog, HANABI icons, my web design portfolio, and more to come! The main index of the domain isn't much, but hopefully I can build more within the coming weeks. Check it out!



I bought the domain from GoDaddy.com for $59 (USD) for two years, so I plan on having this domain for a long time to come. :)

In terms of O-C.net updates, there isn't really anything new to report besides fanlisting members. So let's get to it! The following fanlistings at O-C.net have been updated: Abby Lockhart, Anna Popplewell, Archaeology, C-Pop, Elizabeth I, Ezra Hanson/Taylor Hanson, Genres: Foreign Films, HTML, Jolin Tsai, Kiki's Delivery Service, LiveJournal icons, Lolita Fashion, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Talim, Square Enix, t.A.T.u., The Last Samurai, and The Vampire Chronicles.

Over at AyuNation.org, the Ayumi Hamasaki fanlisting has 4 new members.

I have been working on redoing a few listings, so hopefully you all like the results. Let's get right to it, shall we?

On April 22nd, my domain/fanlisting for Rainie Yang was pretty royally hacked. I didn't notice it for over a week because I don't really go to my own websites. Upon entering my FTP program on April 30th, I saw that files under that domain had been changed on a day when I was out of town. Unfortunately, a huge script invulnerability in Coppermine Gallery was to blame. So, I decided to just totally take down the whole site and replace every single thing (since every file had been edited). I worked for a few days really hard on it, and hopefully everything is up to the par it once was at. Visit Rainie-Yang.net if you have a moment to see the new site. :) The gallery, however, is still down. I am slowly reuploading over 1500 pictures of Rainie to it, so that should be done soon.

On a lighter note, the fanlisting for Chronicles of Narnia actress Anna Popplewell recently passed 500 members, so I thought it needed a little layout tweak. To get a little extra traffic to the site, I've decided to hold a little contest to give away a few copies of the Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian soundtrack via the fanlisting. I was approached to promote the soundtrack by a promotion firm in New York, so hopefully my little contest will do the trick. Ehe. Visit PURE GRACE: The Anna Popplewell fanlisting for more details on how to enter today!

Ok. Onto the updates. Over at O-C.net the following listings have been updated: Abby Lockhart, Anna Popplewell, Archaeology, Battle Royale, C-Pop, Chihiro/Sen, Elizabeth I, Figure Skating, Eyes on Me, Geisha, Goran Visnjic, Hero (Ying Xiong), House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Ian McKellen, Jolin Tsai, Kiki, Kiki's Delivery Service, KH2 - Passion, Laguna/Raine, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Not Gonna Get Us, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Reki, Talim, Square Enix, t.A.T.u., The Last Samurai, The Vampire Chronicles, Tottoko Hamutaro, Ukiyo-e, and Xianghua.

At AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have new members: A Song for XX, About You, appears, Ayumi Hamasaki, Boys & Girls, CAROLS, Dearest, End of the World, Free & Easy, GUILTY, my name's WOMEN, and talkin' 2 myself.

I have been quite busy with fanlistings and other websites, so I am happy I can finally report some progress. So let's get right to it!

First off, the domain dub, Overstuffed-Closet.net has been pretty much COMPLETELY redone. The site is now validated as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2.1, and *should* work in Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer 7 in resolutions 800x600 or above. Besides the coding and layout (which features Ayumi Hamasaki), I have rewritten my Fanlisting Wishlist, made a new linking banner, and am slowly rewriting all the "About Me" pieces. I will be working on the rest of those for a while, methinks.

As promised (like a month ago), I have redone and added to the Soul Calibur - Chai Xianghua fanlisting. Check out the site for images, wallpapers, avatars, extensive info, and more. Yay!

I have adopted FOUR fanlistings recently, and all are now up and running. I readopted back the COLORS (Utada, Hikaru) fanlisting from (Mistress) Puff a few weeks ago, and I also readopted back the Archaeology fanlisting from Emma-Jane. Trialia was kind enough to grant me a HUGE wish and offer me the Faye Wong fanlisting, and fnally, I just adopted the fanlistings for the novel and film Girl with a Pearl Earring from the amazing Krissy! Thank you!

Some sad (yet happy) news to report now. My Japanese fanlisting directory, JListings is currently on a little vacation. I am completely redoing every aspect of the site (including converting to a new directory script), so it may take a while to come back. Hopefully it will be done within the next few weeks so it can get back up again.

Just a little blurb about a personal site: Haley Writes (my fan fic archive) was update with a new drabble, and was also upgraded to WordPress 2.5 & a new layout. Reminder: the posts are all password protected, so if you need the password, give me a holler.

Now for fanlisting updates. The following fls at O-C.net have new members: Abby Lockhart, Battle Royale, Beliy Plashik, Buddhism, Chihiro, Deep River, Elizabeth I, Enka, Faye Wong, Eyes on Me, FRUiTS, Geisha, Genres: Foreign Films, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Goran Visnjic, Gothic & Lolita Bible, House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Ian McKellen, Jolin Tsai, Kiki's Delivery Service, Passion, Laguna/Raine, Language: Russian, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Luka Kovac, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Not Gonna Get Us, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Soul Calibur - Xianghua, Soul Calibur II/III - Talim, t.A.T.u., The Last Samurai, The Vampire Chronicles, Tottoko Hamutaro, and Ukiyo-e.

Over at the AyuNation.org collective, the following fanlistings have new members: (miss)understood, A BALLADS, A Song for XX (album), About You, Ayumi Hamasaki, CAROLS, Dearest, Duty, End of the World, Free & Easy, GUILTY, my name's WOMEN, RAINBOW, and Secret.

This is pretty much an update-only post, seeing as there were 118 pending members at O-C.net's collective. Ehe. So let's get right to it!

At O-C.net, the following fanlistings have new members: Abby Lockhart, All About Us, Battle Royale, Buddhism, Chihiro, Deep River, Queen Elizabeth I, Enka, Ezra Hanson/Taylor Hanson, Figure Skating, Eyes on Me, FRUiTS, Geisha, Foreign Films, Goran Visnjic, Gothic & Lolita Bible, HTML, Ian McKellen, Imadoki!, Jolin Tsai, Kiss & Cry, Laguna/Raine, Language: Russian, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Luka Kovac, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Meiko Kaji, Melodies of Life, Nintendo, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Chai Xianghua, Talim, The Vampire Chronicles, and Tottoko Hamutaro.

Unfortunately due to the lack of a computer with Adobe CS3 on it for two weeks, my "layout making ability" is not at its best. Forgive me for the horrific layouts on the following new fanlistings:

As I mentioned in my last update, I was approved for a couple of adoptions recently. Yay! At TAFL, I was approved by Pam to adopt the Chihiro/Sen (Spirited Away) fanlisting, which just happened to be a wishlister for me. Woot! Over at TFL, I was able to adopt the Chai Xianghua (Soul Calibur) fanlisting (another wishlister), as well as the my name's WOMEN (Ayumi Hamasaki) song fanlisting. I also have another adoption I am working on, but that is for later. Much later.

NOTE TO EVERYONE: I have EIGHT fanlistings up for adoption at TFL. Please see this TFL forum post to view listings up for adoption and how to apply.

In terms of updates, the following fanlistings at O-C.net have new members: Abby Lockhart, Ai Mei, All Characters of ER, Battle Royale, Buddhism, Deep River, Queen Elizabeth I, Figure Skating, Eyes on Me, FRUiTS, Gabriel Aubry, Geisha, Goran Visnjic, Gothic & Lolita Bible, Hero (Ying Xiong), House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Ian McKellen, Jessica Stam, Kiki's Delivery Service, Passion, Kiss & Cry, Laguna/Raine, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Luka Kovac, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Not Gonna Get Us, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Reki, Talim, Square Enix, The Last Samurai, The Vampire Chronicles, Tottoko Hamutaro, and Ukiyo-e.

At AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have been updated: (miss)understood, A BALLADS, Ayumi Hamasaki (which passed 3000 members!), Free & Easy, GUILTY, and RAINBOW.

I have been utterly lucky lately with approvals at both TFL and TAFL. Out of four fanlistings (all in adoptions) I was approved for this week, two of them were huge wishlisters, so I am really happy to build all these fanlistings! Thank you to those who have given me the opportunities to run these fanlistings!

While I am working on three at the moment, I have gotten up one of the adoptions as well as another fanlisting I was approved for at the beginning of March. I just opened the fanlisting for Rainie Yang's album My Other Self (任意門). I could not believe there was no fanlisting for it, so I had to make it. Ehe.

In adoptions, I opened the fanlisting for Kingdom Hearts II - Passion (sung by Utada Hikaru) thanks to the wonderful Seiyuuki who let me adopt it! This was a big wishlister for me, and I just could not believe I was chosen. Thank you so much Seiyuuki!

Now for layouts/revamps. I redid the Ayumi Hamasaki fanlisting TWICE in the past two weeks (once March 12th, once yesterday). The newest version features the cover of Ayu's latest single, "Mirrorcle World", so please check it out!

It's update time! The following fanlistings at O-C.net have new members: Abby Lockhart, Ai Mei, Battle Royale, Buddhism, Queen Elizabeth I, Ezra Hanson/Taylor Hanson, Figure Skating, Eyes on Me, FRUiTS, Foreign Films, Goran Visnjic, Gothic & Lolita Bible, Hero (Ying Xiong), HTML, Ian McKellen, Jessica Stam, Jolin Tsai, Kana, Kiki's Delivery Service, Laguna Loire/Raine Loire, Language: Russian, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Martina Hingis, Melodies of Life, My Other Self, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, Square Enix, t.A.T.u., The Vampire Chronicles, and Tottoko Hamutaro.

Amazingly, I am making a public post that DOES NOT have to do with my websites. Wow. Gasp.

Due to some idiocy and moronic behavior towards myself and friends of mine, I have decided to do a friends cut. This doesn't mean I hate any of you or don't like any of you. I shall now list the reasons why I am cutting the selected people who were removed:

1) You hardly comment on any posts, or not at all. Now, mind you, I am not a ~*~comment whore~*~ who needs reassurance and constant compliments like some people on LiveJournal. I just need to know you actually READ this darn thing. I reveal just about everything about myself in this journal: personal, private, and embarrassing things alike. I also need support from my friends, both online and offline. If I am not getting that from you, I am sorry, but I can't have you reading everything about me.

2) You hardly update your OWN journal. Sure, there are a few of you who updated very infrequently, but it makes it very difficult for me to connect to those few of you. So, because I don't really get a feel for who you are, you are removed.

3) We've grown distant. We may have been closer at an earlier time, but now I feel distant from you for various reasons, whether it be lack of posts, lack of comments, or lack of substance in the posts/comments. I guess I am fickle. Sorry.

Please do not take this personally. You guys are all great people, but maybe it's not working out between all of us. Thanks for being on my friends list during this time.

As things change in life, so do domains and websites. I came to the decision today to redirect one of my domains to a subdomain at O-C.net instead, so if you visit HaleyReamer.com, it *should* redirect you to my portfolio @ overstuffed-closet. Yay! New layout and art are featured there, so go check it out. Mind you, HaleyReamer.com will expire in...7 months, so hopefully you will all remember that by then.

I opened a few new sites recently, so it's pluggage time. Two Ayumi Hamasaki song fanlistings were opened at AyuNation.org: the fanlistings for Free & Easy and GUILTY are now up and running. Also, I adopted the Kiki's Delivery Service fanlisting about two weeks ago, so it is up and ready for more members. Yay!

You all may have noticed O-C.net underwent a big change in layout. I hated the old layout pretty passionately, to be honest. I wanted something more simple, so the new layout is the final result. I am still adding a few things to the site (hopefully soon), so look forward to that.

In terms of updates for fanlistings, the following fanlistings at O-C.net have been updated: Abby Lockhart, All About Us, All Characters of ER, Anna Popplewell, Battle Royale, Buddhism, Elizabeth I, Ezra Hanson/Taylor Hanson, Figure Skating, Foreign Films, Goran Visnjic, Gothic & Lolita Bible, Hero (Ying Xiong), House of Flying Daggers, HTML, Ian McKellen, Imadoki!, Jessica Stam, Jolin Tsai, Laguage: Russian, LiveJournal Icons, Lolita Fashion, Luka Kovac, Malice Mizer, Marie Antoinette (2006), Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Princess Zelda, Rainie Yang, t.A.T.u., The Last Samurai and The Vampire Chronicles.

At AyuNation.org, the following fanlistings have new members: Ayumi Hamasaki, CAROLS, Dearest and Free & Easy.

To be honest, I updated O-C.net's layout a long time ago, but was too lazy to post. Whoops. :) So, O-C.net has been completely redone (layout wise), featuring Natalie Portman, who was the original "face" of O-C.net. Yay!

In terms of other makeovers, I decided to redo some of my anime/manga fanlistings. Thus, the Imadoki!, Rakka (Haibane Renmei), and Reki (Haibane Renmei) fanlistings have all been redone. I really love how they turned out, so please go visit!

I have only had one recent approval: adopting Laguna/Raine (Final Fantasy VIII) from Jackie. W00t! I am working on a directory (still), but that is very tedious and time consuming, so I am procrastinating wildly. Whoops...
