I cannot believe it's the last day already, what even is the linear passage of time!!!
Since the last check-in, I've finally done the main goal that I wanted to do: that is, make a stylesheet for my individual fic pages and figure out how to apply it! I've since applied it to all the FFXII fics on my site, and I have 3 more fandoms currently uploaded left to do (FFXIV, Resident Evil and inFamous, all my largest written-for fandoms ahahah). In the process of doing the stylesheet, I also realised that I much prefer the details box styling for the individual fics, so I'm planning on updating the main fic splash page to match it, but still with my original idea of having each bar be a gradient of greens from my site colour scheme. :D
Stylesheet spoiler alert: if your sheet is in a different folder to the page you're applying it to, you can't just use the #stylesheet for the link - it has to be the full external site link cos neocities counts it as an external link!! Who fucking knew!! Lots of googling and troubleshooting learned me this good lolol.
Here's the styling on one of the fics - I also decided how I want to deal with fics which have accompanying art; that is to say, I'm adding art to the bottom!
I've also made a splash page for my OCs which I'm really happy with, and made a start on my XIV WoL Neroe's page using the same layout as I picked for the shrines. As you can see I still need to fill in info for Neroe and also for the other 3 OCs I used for the splash page, but it's proof of concept!
What did you work on during Small Web September? I worked on a lot of different things! Changed up my navbar; finally figured out stylesheets and how to apply them; applied it to all my FFXII fics; made an OC splash page and a page for Neroe; did a LOT of work on my Sart shrine including fully changing the layout, adding a music player with his battle theme, and adding in all his voicelines, skirmish information and a lot of other info; moved my changelog and credits to separate pages; added a chatbox for the main home page! I feel like I did more shit, but this is all I can remember rn.
What's next for your small web plans? Where will you go from here? - I wanna finish applying stylesheet to all of my fics, then upload the remainder of them to the site with the correct style - Redo the fic splash page to match the individual fic pages, specifically the details boxes - Finish my Sart shrine insofar as I can do - this includes adding the new French translation of his Field Note that my friend did for me, adding my sort of WIP ship manifesto, fic lists, artists, affiliates (hopefully!!), and merch, memes and gpose shit - Finish adding info to Neroe's page, then do the pages for the other OCs so far - Something totally new: I decided last night that I really want to make a gigs log for all the gigs I've been to! My idea for this is almost like a forum post feed style, with pictures of my ticket stubs which I keep for all gigs where they're a thing, any photos I've taken from the gigs, and my thoughts if I can remember any! I'll prolly focus on my fave bands I've seen a lot of times first for this, but I'm excited! This was entirely brought on by seeing some really fucking cute Starset blinkies and wanting to put them on my site, and then it spiralled from there :DDD - Oh and finally, I want to do a pair of RPF ship shrines - one for David Mitchell/Charlie Brooker and one for Eric Bogosian/Assad Zaman, along with timelines, propaganda and tinhatting, fic recs and whatnot. It'll be really fun to do this for Brooker/Mitchell imo since it's a ship which has pretty much died out at this point, and it'll be a fun way to indulge my nostalgia heh.
All in all, I've had an absolute blast!! It was really nice to have an excuse to work on my site, and the check in posts and encouragement were really useful! I also really loved getting to see everyone else's sites too, it gave me so much inspiration!! Thank you so much for hosting this, enchantedsleeper!! 💚💚💚
