I started the year with a revamp of my guestbook, which completes the revamp of my main site from the end of 2024. It feels SO good to have such long-standing plans out of the way that I have resolved to get site projects that have been in the works for years ready for launch as soon as possible (i.e. they should be presentable and substantial, but not necessarily complete), to finally get them out of the system.
To follow through, I spent much of January and February working on Vanishing Moon, a small shrine and media gallery to the character Irisviel from Fate/Zero. It's a leftover shrine project from 2016, which had been so close to completion that it would have been a pity not to finish it so as to share it. To motivate myself, I aimed for launch on Valentine's/during Femslash February, and ultimately managed to finish the essentials (1–2 pages left to do). The merchandise collection page was particularly fun to make.
For long-term project organization, I finally consolidated all of my oooold notes from a vast amount of Evernote pages into a Notion database, with projects sorted by priority and progress/status. I think it'll help me focus on what to work on next, rather than juggling so many site projects and not getting anything done for lack of focus.
Now, I'm taking it easy without self-set deadlines, and playing an old video game for fun (while taking notes for a future shrine...).
