Emotion — Crystal (formerly zeruda.org) kindly let me adopt Emotion, her anime, manga and video game shrine directory, in May. It took me a while to get everything together for the layout and content, but now the directory is finally back up!

If you can, please update your links to https://emotion.oubliette.nu and spread the word to fellow shrine makers and visitors so that everyone can keep finding their way to shrines. Now’s also a good time to check whether there are any shrines you haven’t submitted yet and would like to get listed! :)

Thanks to Andrea for double-checking the shrines removed in the sweep for dead links to see whether anyone has changed domains in the meantime, and thanks to Larissa for the final general inspection.

All shrines around the network have had minor fixes and code updates (nothing plainly visible). Some display issues at Waterbound were found and have been fixed.

Awakening, Stormwind Gallery, Stormwind, Setting Sun, Sway, In Another Dream — Galleries for all these sites have been updated to fancyBox3 for better interface and zoom functionality. I'll think some more about what to do with the galleries on image-heavy shrines that rely on captions; fancyBox3 differs from fancyBox2 in that regard and I'm not convinced it'd be better to upgrade.

Memory Prison — Made a layout archive over at Tumblr so as not to clutter up the pages around the network. I might add even older layouts from miscellaneous past projects later on.

All sites around the network, including all sites associated with Stormwind, have been cleaned up. There's still some work left to do for a few of them, but it's nothing that should affect the visitors' experience.

Stormwind — Screencaps of Clare, Raki, Priscilla and Elena (under Others) have been added to the Gallery. With that, the gallery is finally considered complete. I have also increased the content width on the gallery since the restrictions of the current layout are not at all suited for a gallery. I'm unhappy with it as a whole, but it will stay up until I get around to making a new one.

Network — The completely revamped network has been unveiled! New layout, completely rewritten content across all pages, and a lot more. Word vomiting has always been my style, so a network without much text just isn't me...

New things include this update blog, a guestbook, the redone contact page, a custom 404 page (finally!), optional individual pages for each shrine I've created, and the link page finally listing people I've frequently interacted with around the community!

I've received some link buttons by my lovely friends as housewarming gifts, too!

As a result of the substituted domain and the network revamp, there will be temporarily broken links across my shrines, notably in case of contact and update links. I will be doing some housekeeping around the network soon, so those links will be fixed in due time.
