     Hunter X Hunter: Hisoka and Illumi Fanlistings
{ A heart bled eternally at 7:32 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

This time, two Hunter X Hunter animanga series fanlistings have been added to the collective.

The j-rock band X Japan and their song Alive inspired the launching layout of Faithless, the fanlisting for the relationship between Hisoka and Illumi Zaoldyeck.

The theme of The Hisoka x Illumi Zaoldyeck Relationship Fanlisting is essentially earthy, with shades of black, brown and red. Design features blended single and joint images of these two beautiful, dangerous Hunters.

Drawing inspiration from the song by Texas, here comes the Summer Son in the form of beautiful, icy Illumi Zaoldyeck and his brand-new solo fanlisting, Fatal.

{ A heart bled eternally at 8:17 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

Tokage, the fanlisting for the book Lizard by Japanese author Banana Yoshimoto, is now online.

     Fuhen Launched
{ A heart bled eternally at 4:50 PM }
{ Words screamed under Additions }

Today is the opening of Fuhen, my fanfiction archive, containing work on various series, mostly anime and/or manga.

The content has been around since 2000 and was posted in my other websites. However, I decided to compile all my fanfics and put them together in one specific website. Fuhen, which means “eternal” in Japanese, was born!

Fuhen‘s launching layout is named With You featuring Chii from the anime and manga series Chobits in lovely, dreamlike pink and lavender hues.
