ever since ~femme fatale went down with f2s.com, things have been a whirlwind of decisions for me - should i set the shrine back up? will ~ff even be missed when it's gone, now with juuhachigou shrines mushrooming all over the 'net? it was also a particularly hectic time for me, with uni exams and all, and i shoved all my website activities to the bottom of my 'to do' list.

i was half-inclined to leave the whole thing off as it is, being particularly disillusioned with certain 18 shrines which, at the moment, feature most of ~ff's special pictures in their galleries, without any credit. why should i put my time and work into my own shrine, when people can find the same content at multiple sites around the web?

what made me realize that i had to get ~ff back up again were the emails querying anxiously about the missing site. some people even IMed me asking whether i'd moved. the concern and appreciation of ~ff, frankly, moved me, and i made my decision. to heck with web thievery. there is only one ~femme fatale on the web. i'm not going to cut its life when it's already nearing 3 years of age.

so at the moment, ~femme fatale is going through a major design revamp. i'm not quite sure when will it be ready; the only way you can find out is checking this page once in a while. in the meantime, please visit my great friend chii's log; she's one of my favourite persons, and i sometimes hang out there when i'm online.

to everyone who has emailed and IMed me, thank you. you're the ones who have helped to breath life into ~ff again. i owe you my utmost gratitude. :)
