General Maintenance

All shrines have undergone light maintenance:

  • Footer text was adjusted to reflect the new network name.
  • Definitions for “shrine” and manga demographics were added.
  • Links were updated and dead links were removed or replaced.
  • The contrast of select elements was adjusted (notably font colours on Setting Sun and Jamais Plus and the background on Sway).
  • Minor additions were made to link lists.
  • Some larger images were converted.
  • Minor typographical elements were converted (e.g. typewriter apostrophes).

Valkyrie and Waterbound were excluded from thorough link list updates.

Browsing Optimization

Code has been edited for all of the below to keep things consistent across my shrines. Some functionality was added as follows:

Jamais Plus — All videos now open on-site for a better visitor experience.

Setting Sun, Dornenkaefig — The galleries now utilize a different script.

Joker's Wild, Baton Pass, Sway — Navigating has been facilitated: Smooth scrolling was added to the first, and page leafing links to the other two.

Shrine Link List

Network — Up to now, I've only ever worked on one shrine at a time. Still, it felt weird to display strong contenders for upcoming shrines on the Projects page, while leaving out whatever I'm currently working on and referring visitors to the network's listography instead. So I've made a new category to show what I'm currently working on!

Additionally, I've added a link to my button wall of favourite shrines under Links.

Baton Pass — Added a new link.

Baton Pass: Complete!

Baton Pass — Added "Encore" under Resonance, as well as "Symbolism" and "Comparative Romance" under Finish Line. With that, the shrine is finally complete!

As mentioned in the last update, I will be doing some housekeeping across all shrines to update old links, to tweak my old coding in accordance with standards, to keep things consistent across all shrines and to include the newly-created guestbook. (See Listography for more details.) For Baton Pass, these goals have now been achieved.

New Shrine: Baton Pass

Baton Pass — Released the Kyoko Honda shrine for Onigiri Box, a Fruits Basket marathon! This is the first shrine to officially be released under the new domain. A few pages are still missing, but they're not of consequence to the narrative of the shrine. They will be uploaded later. See Amassment plug topic.

Strength of Heart — Added an affiliate.

Valkyrie — Added affiliates.
