Well February just raced on by, didn't it? How are things going for you, smallweb?

I've actually done a lot this month! Mixture of inspiration and having to listen to a lot of continuous, 24/7 roadworks noise and the only distraction thing my brain had going for it was layout design and graphics making. I made many, many functional layouts for upcoming projects; now I just have to slowly work on writing them.

As for visible, uploaded stuff, I rehauled my primary domain after nine years into a button wall for quick exits out across my network, gave my joined fanlistings page a new look and went through all of them for dead links/those that had moved, and spent a week making over a hundred different images for Beloved, a visual list of characters that mean something to me (plus some bonus pages where I talk about when I got attached and why it is I like them so much - I'm hoping to add more slowly over time).

I'm almost done with a very wordy tribute for one of my favourite characters; I finished writing it in early February and have been working on edits intermittently since then. I'm planning to open Deadlock Rebel very soon.

I stumbled upon Beloved a few days after you had uploaded it, and it was a joy to browse and read! Something about the design, your own format and specifically the way you positioned the quotes and headings made it evident how much fun this must have been to make.

Excited to see your new site and layouts! (Sorry to hear about the noise.)

Ah!! Thank you so much, Lethe! 💜 it's got me thinking about other lists of favourite things I might like to do, but for this it was indeed really fun to pour my love for so many different things all into one place.
