Peachy Project Updates

Now that we are quickly approaching our second Will, Strife and Ayu-Vogue discography update deadline, I figure it's time for an explanation as to what I've been up to.

After spending the better part of six months on a thesis, I graduated last June and thought I'd have a couple of months off to leisurely make updates here. That has obviously not been the case. At this time, I do not foresee any significant content updates being made until September at the earliest. Will will take the backseat to Strife.

I appreciate your patience and hope to have a better game plan (and something to show for it) later this year.

Strife, Will, and the Peachy Projects list have been updated to reflect this prolonged informational hiatus. Fanlistings will continue to be updated regularly.

I have three more weeks of classes. Given the sheer volume of work I have to wrap up in this time, I'm going to unofficially add a month to all ACC and Ayu-Vogue Discography revamp projects.

After graduation in June, the content revamp schedule will be as follows (in order of priority)

1. 7th Heaven
2. Will
3. Strife
4. Ayu-Vogue merchandise and analog discography

I don't foresee Sunshine being significantly edited after ACC, so it may have its update earlier than 7th Heaven or Will, and NEVER EVER will most likely remain AC-only until I feel like changing it. Grace is also scheduled to have a navigational revamp which will probably occur earlier than the projected content revamps, and the Super Secret Project will also likely be treated as a priority. 

Gloriosa Galleries have officially migrated to the new MR! Museum, though the content links are kind of a mess. I'm really okay with that for now.

In conclusion: I'm going to stay in lurker mode for awhile still. Fanlisting members will still be added, and only big Ayu news will be reported.

Classes begin again today and the Peach-Arrow Network will again enter it's semi-comatose state (not that it was updated much over the break). Fanlistings and Ayu news will continue to be updated regularly, and I'll continue to chip away at the new content at Strife until I have time to really invest in my projects.

Ayu-Vogue has been the only site consistently updated through the break with news updates, including one today.

Yeah, nothing's going to get done this quarter. I'll do my best to get the first phase of the Ayu-Vogue revamp (new discography and layout) up by next week Friday, and there will be a few housekeeping issues addressed later today, but no other major projects will receive significant attention until December.

The autumn quarter begins tomorrow, bringing the Peach-Arrow Network's Summer Progress to an end.  I will be busy with an independent study on top of my usually classes, but I will spend my extra time on the following network projects:

1. The Ayu-Vogue Network Discography is currently under-going a major overhaul. This will hopefully be uploaded in October. Other sections will follow (time allowing).
2. The Midgar-Rock Organization revamp will continue. All artwork and screen captures (+new ones) have been moved to the new database, and the scope of the informational sections is in the processes of being refined to contextualize shrines rather than compete with them.
3. Any leftover energy will be alloted to Melody

My host has officially gotten back to me to verify that all the database issues have been sorted out. Thanks everyone!

Peach-Arrow Network database is totally broken, so all fanlistings, galleries, and the Ayu-Vogue news blog are all down.

Host has been notified and hopefully everything will be straightened up soon. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit: Haven't heard back from our host, but they seem to have worked their magic anyway. Please reply here or contact me if you have trouble with the fanlistings or news blog.

Yes, a real update. Sort of. Expect a new layout for the main network and fanlisting affiliate clean-out this weekend.

Peach-Arrow Network

• Grace
  • Fixed some coding hiccups and added a note about the US manga release.

Ayu-Vogue Network

• and then was updated, like, 20 times.
• The discography was updated with sales stats for Mirrorcle World

PS Friend's list: It was the domain. :D No worries. I also decided to change it back to annual to cover my butt

Peach-ArrowNET has been pretty dormant for the last few months. I figure it's time to check in and make sure we're all on the same page.

No, Peach-ArrowNET and its family of sites have not been abandoned. I'm still working on things, but real life commitments (as they say) have slowed the progress. I am in the midst of a heavy academic quarter and will continue to attend classes through next spring (hopefully not so many at a time).

Because the Current Projects page is a more generalized, idealistic projection than anything else, here's an outline of what's actually being worked on:

1. Currently Peach-ArrowNET is getting streamlined so as to make both updating and navigating the site list easier. This will probably (hopefully) be uploaded by the end of the month
2. Instinct is having its discography revamped. A better layout should follow eventually, but I make no promises.
   
3. Gloriosa's image galleries are being transferred to Gallery2 (see Ayu-VogueNET's gallery for an example). Making the whole domain public has been put on the backburner for awhile to focus on other projects.
4. Ayu-VogueNET's shopping guide is being re-organized and dramatically amended to make it easier to navigate and more comprehensive
5. Strife will have Crisis Core and 10th Anniversary Ultimania updates by July.
6. When I feel Strife is in decent shape, Melody and Forget Me Not will receive their due attention.

The quarter ends in early June. Although the annual magazine has been shipped out to the printer, proof approved, etc, I still have four papers to finish by the end of the quarter. Do not expect any major updates until mid-June. 

Fanlistings and Ayu-Vogue.net's news blog will continue to be updated regularly.

Thanks for your patience!

Legend of Zelda (presumably Ocarina, etc) manga is finally getting its official English language adaption.

Some fluff updates I've holding back in hopes I'd have something worthwhile to post with them...

Peach-Arrow Network

• Grace
  • New Zelda, Sheik, and Zelda/Link 100x100 icons (the last one I actually made a billion years ago and never posted
  • New Brawl screen captures.
• Partners In Crime
  • The art gallery has been updated with new FFXII Zodiac Job System and RW art.
  • Two new 100x100 icons
• I Had Everything Under Control Until They Blew Up the Boat
  • It's been around for awhile, so I guess it should be "officially" launched to the public. Still under heavy construction and not listed at Peach-ArrowNET.

Ayu-Vogue Network

• and then received a news update a few days ago I forgot to announce here.
• Two new CD art 100x100 icons
• Hosted Fanlitings
  • I am... has a new affiliate

( take the Peach-ArrowNET Survey )

It's that time of year again. Peach-ArrowNET, Midgar-RockORG, Ayu-VogueNET and hosted fansites are officially on HIATUS starting Monday, November 26th. The hiatus is tentatively scheduled to end Thursday, December 6th.

Fanlistings will continue to be updated, as will the Ayu news blog when appropriate. In the meantime, check out the update poll if you haven't already.

Will be without regular internet access for a little over a week (hence why the Dissidia trailer is leaking today... and Ayu will probably unveil her new single covers on... Tuesday).  I more than likely won't get anything more than fanlisting updates done--if that.  See you kids on the 25th!

Leaving on a jet plane stuffy bus; see you kids Tuesday.

cloud_smiles girls, could you please check the post below?

Edit: best headline ever.

So Dreamhost is down.  This is fun.

Edit (12:36 EST):  Looks like all domains+ are working.  Keep your fingers crossed...

I was originally going to wait to perfect the layout and make a bunch of new sections, but I realized while revamping that I hadn't touched much of the information since high school.   All things considered, Grace was in embarrassing shape.  The layout's a bit dark, but virtually everything has been at least revised; some sections annexed others, while some have been removed entirely.  It's still not perfect, but it's certainly better than it was. 

There are also quite a few new LJ icons (featuring Zelda, Link, and other characters) and I've moved some of the old WW icons to the Link LJ archive.

As always, the FFVII Fanlisting has new members.

I have to apologize to both domain  visitors and LJ friends that I haven't been around much.  I'm about a month into a heavy academic quarter with a lot of work obligations, and, hey!  Let's throw in a bad cold, just for kicks.  To be honest, I think a lot of my absence has to do with my taking on too many projects at once.  I have a lot of great things planned for Peach-Arrow and her sister networks, but the list has grown to an intimidating length; I don't know here to start!  I'm afraid I haven't been using the little spare time I have to really tackle the major problems. 

Regardless, several Ayu fanlistings have new members, as did Gospel Decay and Love & Honesty.

In addition to the previous announcement of Shiina Ringo's step into the global market, Instinct has also been updated with the cover art for her new solo album and concert DVD.

Forget Me Not's gallery has been revised to include several gorgeous scans donated by Alex.  Partner In Crime's official art gallery has also been re-organized in a similar manner.


I hope to give this update journal a simpler layout -- perhaps in the next few hours -- so please excuse the mess.

I belatedly realized today that I had forgotten to apply an action script to the Grace link on the Peach-ArrowNET default index, so that has been fixed. I guess no one visits that site anyway...

Be Heard, Lamb, Forget Me Not, 7th Heaven and Gospel Decay have new members since the last update.

Will and the as-of-yet-untitled Balthier and Fran thing have favicons (a preview of the layout, I wonder...?)

(yay my connection's working!)

Hiatus


Until sometime next week. Or sooner if you want to help carry a couch.
