Hi Neocracker!

If you don't know, don't ask. This is just me being bored.

In other news, I found the funniest thing today: Someone claiming I might have ripped their story off. Why? Because of a few similarities between Skye and the main character of their story. Thing is, they have posted ONE thing up from March 2006, while I have things from August and September of 2004 posted on deviantART. Heck, some of my friends have done art and have it posted on DA prior to May 2005, let alone March 2006.

Makes me laugh a bit inside. I wonder if that person will get back to me.

Wow...
Posted by: Skye McCloud on Fri Jul 04, 2008 01:21 PM
Wow, as I work more and more on the website to get things straightened for this contest, I realize just how often I made errors in keeping my own story consistent! There is so much stuff that is just... incorrect! I'll have to work faster!

:: Characters section completed. It was designed a bit too. I like it better this way, though I may need to make tweaks in the future. What do you all think?
:: History section completed. Slight redesigns here, made some potential for future content.

As a note, several profiles are no longer in the characters section: Garen Menat, Tessa Menat, Izzy Calon, Solas Starlife, and Dias Cloud. The first three are, luckily, not really mentioned anywhere. As for the other two, they're so deep into the story I thought it best to keep them back. However, they're still allowed for the contest if you think you can figure them out based on other profiles and such.

Contest & Fundraiser!
Posted by: Skye McCloud on Tue Jul 01, 2008 02:36 PM
Two things today, folks! First off, I'm opening a fundraiser to get Cathy a new computer! You can find a button to donate in the menu on the left side of the website. Note that the image does not automatically update. I have to manually update it. However, I intend to put together a "Donators" page where I'll list everyone who donates and how much they donated. The goal is $2000 CAD. This money will be going towards either a tablet PC or just a REALLY good computer. :D

In addition to this, we're running an art contest! I'll be adding that up to the site over the next few days, but if you're impatient you can find details here:

Some worthwhile prizes in it, I'd say, so be sure to take a look!

Another Late One
Posted by: Skye McCloud on Sat Jun 28, 2008 02:14 AM
Cathy's computer crashed several times during her attempt to draw this week's page. It's nowhere near done, even now at 2 AM. I honestly expect a hefty delay this week.

Edit: Ok, it's now no comic this week. Cathy's HD is too screwed up. It keeps crashing before she can get anything done. We have to get her a new HD (And it sounds like she might need a new computer altogether) first.

Maybe I should start a fundraiser.

Whoops!

Whoops, sorry folks! I've been distracted recently, forgot to text up this week's page. Doing so right now, it'll be up within an hour!

Starting More Retuning
Posted by: Skye McCloud on Thu Jun 12, 2008 05:36 PM
As a note, starting today I'll be retuning parts of the site. As I do, you may find some sections go offline. This won't happen often, mind you, but it may happen. It'll take me a few weeks to get around to every page, so these offlines will have nice gaps. I'll say now that the first section I'll be fixing is the artwork section, while the last will be the manga section.

I'll make progress updates to this post as I get further along.

:: Artwork section completed. Take a look, let me know what you think of it. It was redesigned quite a bit along with the coding changes.

Curiosity
Posted by: Skye McCloud on Mon Jun 09, 2008 02:20 AM
So I realized today I don't like how I have the character's section organized. Over the next few days I hope to redo it a bit, better categorize things, etc etc. It should look nicer in the end, at least I hope.

I've also been curios as to who comes to the website. I often make posts, asking people for opinions but I never hear anything back. Given that the number of people coming here seems to be skyrocketing, (Three months ago, I had around 250 people, two months ago was over 800, last month over 1200) it makes me curious. Com'n, people, throw me a bone here and say somethin'! Heck, just so I can find out, I disabled the need to join the forums to reply to newsposts.

Sorry About The No Updates!
Posted by: Skye McCloud on Sun Jun 01, 2008 11:07 PM
Sorry folks about the lack of updates! Poor Cathy has been swamped with stuff due to cons, so I had told her, weeks ago, to take her time. This is why we hadn't seen a page in three weeks now! There WILL be a page this week, however, and I think we may also have some artwork to add that was meant to be used as filler art but didn't get done in time either.

However, I wanted to add a note here for the interested: Next year at Anime North, we hope to actually start selling some Star of Destiny merchandise! At this time, we only have the following ideas:

- T-shirts
- Bookmarks
- Keychains
- Buttons
- Prints (Obviously)

However, I'd like to hear some more ideas. Obviously, some things are far too early, but I'm sure some folks out there have some ideas! If you have one, then I ask you to let us know! The more ideas we have, the better off we can be next year! Sure, it's a year away still, but I think that all of the time from now until then is going to be important!
