We have a new host to Mandys Realm.com :D Please welcome Brighter than Sunshine, a site dedicated to Malon of Ocarina of Time! The owner is Saami, a long time fan of Malon and a member at the Diamond in the Rough forums! It's a very cute website so please check it out! You can find the link to the left.

In other news I have some new fanart to add to the Fern shrine, but that'll come eventually anyway. When I remember to do it, that is ^^; I also got some new Mandy art too! The DitR website has been slow on updates, namely without much content to be added for it...but I can always look around for more images or icons for fans to use.

The "Fragments of Memories" role play is still going, athough slow. No updates have been made to the site but that's really out of my hands ~.~ We're hoping this week to start it up again, or so I'm hoping anyway!

DitR is more or less complete now! The Games section has been posted and edited as well as a new section having been created. It was written by Dani, the creator of DitR and it's a good read (or at least I think so). The section is called "Our Story" and it pretty much covers the progression of DitR and how it became what it is today :)

I also removed the small shoutboard that used to be the left! You can now find it on the DitR website to make comments in :)

Hey again!

Diamond in the Rough had some small updates, namely in the Music section. I'm also hoping to add some more Malon screen shots to the artwork section soon but when that'll happen I have no set date.

In other news I got a new phone! It's an LG Chocolate v3 in light blue; I love it! It's a big upgrade from my old phone, that's for sure. I've added some mp3s on it, took some new pictures (the camera on it is great for such a small thing) and I'm really hoping to somehow get some new ringtones as well; my old phone had really cool ones from Zelda.

Today I'm thinking of trying to work on the Games section for DitR; it can't stay under construction forever!

It's done!

Diamond in the Rough lives! It's about time too, but I spent perhaps the past 3 or so days formatting HTML and writing the page content. It's up, at least! So that makes me happy...

This website is dedicated to Dani, aka xMarinx, who created Diamond in the Rough in 2003. She wanted a website and forum to the fans who love Malon and Marin as well as the Malink pairing. This is her wish and it makes me happy to know that I was a part of it. Much love to you, Dani! <3 style="font-style: italic;">Fragments of Memories LoZ Role Play, which is hella fun. I'm going to add a link to it on the left side where all the other website links are too. The role play website has role play logs to read, a gallery and profiles of the characters playing in the story. It's pretty neat!

That's it for now. I am exhausted from working on DitR lol. It was worth it though...it's finally online.

Big (accidental) changes!

The domain malink.org is no more. Why? Apparently it was canceled by Go Daddy (my hosting provider) under my authority to do so. I don't remember canceling my domain name nor do I have any reason to. Regardless, either by a stupid blunder on my part or Go Daddy, the domain malink.org is kaput and will be for a long time (until December 2009, actually).

So for now we have Mandys-Realm.com :D Why Mandy's Realm? Well this site IS for all my own crap so why not? It also sounds a bit fantasy-ish and I like fantasy :) The new banner artwork features Mandy Kokoroan, my first and original character. All the old content still works and the URLs to the shrines are all fine as well as the content on them.

Diamond in the Rough will STILL be hosted here and works to get the website up are still underway, although it's been a bit slow.

I'm still kinda bummed about losing the name malink.org but what can I do? The retrieval fee was $80 and it was so much cheaper to get a new primary domain name instead. Oh well.

Well I'm back home for July and August now! My trip was good and smooth enough but so far my days here have been pretty low key. Haven't been doing much of anything and I'll probably stay that way until I leave on my family trip to Yellowstone in the beginning of August :P I'd like to see some friends (like Leslie, Gina, perhaps May, etc...) but I'm a poor planner and I end up sitting on my bottom a lot anyway.

No site updates as of right now. Role play is still happening with Fern of course but I've been lazy about adding new logs right now. Perhaps next week when the 4th of July is over and done with.

Ciao~

Okay, so I lied :P I've added more logs to the Fern site under the Fragments of Memories section in "RP and Storylines". One more log, which needs to be edited, will be added eventually and then the site will be up to date! The actual RP site for Fragments of Memories has the logs as well, divided differently than my own format, and can be seen here.

In other news next week the fourth and brand new Slayers REVOLUTION TV series will begin airing in Japan! I'm really hoping for a good run with it; Slayers is definitely in need of a pick up because it's arguably one of the better shows out there and deserves recognition :)
