I pushed an update to my Final Fantasy Recaps Neocities site a few days ago. The biggest update was changing things so that instead of "Jump to" links and one l-o-n-g scrolling page of text, I added accordions for sections. That breaks it down into more manageable pieces so it's less intimidating.

I also finished documenting the Bastok Missions from Final Fantasy XI! \o/ It's nice to have something completely done.

I wanted to work on Windurst missions last night, but the mission my low-level alt is on can't be soloed unless you are a MUCH higher level. I'm thinking I might try to be brave and yell for help with it - just need someone who has a portal charm! - but yelling, frankly, scares me these days.

I was not brave enough last night, so I logged off and dug out my notes from Final Fantasy Brave Exvius:


[Image Description: A large quantity of handwritten notes, documenting stories from Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. There's one two-inch binder, two one-inch binders, and enough loose leaf pages to make up a fourth binder, if not a fifth.]

Present me is REALLY IMPRESSED with past me for putting in all that work! I did the bulk of this when I didn't have a computer of my own, hence handwriting it out. I don't have everything written, because I started the documentation project after story events had already played and they weren't ever repeated, BUT I found a site that has a lot of the story events as YouTube videos. So I can transcribe the missing ones from others' videos, and type up the ones I have documented already. Gonna take FOREVER, but I am determined.

I started typing up Lasswell's short story last night, and gods did I miss these characters. They are delightful and fun, and it's been neat to revisit the story and smile again.

I checked out my site from my phone, and frowned at how small the text is. I need to see about fixing that eventually. I also want to do another section of Shadowbringers soon, and continue working on FFXI. LOTS TO DO.

Finally, I became a Neocities Supporter this morning. Mostly for the yummy stats, but also... well, I'm obviously having fun with the site, might as well give them some money. I do believe in supporting others' works monetarily, if you can afford it. At $5 a month? Yeah, I can afford that.

Whoops, forgot this in my earlier post: my library's Summer Reading Program starts tomorrow, and I am a sucker for free stuff, so I am going to take part.

Goal is to read a total of 20 hours or four books during the program. For reaching the halfway point, you get a clothing item. For finishing the full challenge, you get entries into a drawing for cool prize packages.

Last few years, I did the 20 hours instead of four books. I'm thinking of trying four books again this year. I do want to read more, but it will definitely be a challenge to read that many!

One of the books WILL be Murderbot audiobook (audiobooks count), but I'm open to suggestions for other titles!

I mostly read romance these days, or lighter science fiction/fantasy. Favorite authors include Courtney Milan and John Scalzi. I do like manga, but it would feel like cheating to read four manga issues, so... opting out of manga for right now.
