makeashrineHappy new year, everyone!
As you can guess, things have been quiet around here as December was a busy month. I hope you’ve had a good holiday season, and can start fresh in the new year.
We have one more month until the challenge deadline. How are your shrines coming along? Do you have a preferred order of tackling things, and how do you set priorities in light of the deadline? What are your thoughts on uploading a shrine in unfinished state?
I hope we’ll pull through together and can kick off 2026 with some new shrines! :D
Feel free to use this post to chat about other challenge- and site-related things.

I deeply relate to your "I've had enough of maybes and one days", and have been feeling that for the past year, hence also this event, and it's been growing stronger and stronger. I have so many heartfelt projects in the works from the past 5–8 years, and I'm sick and tired of feeding on my big dreams for them only to be oh so disillusioned as time passes, I grow older, life changes shape and the dreams are still unrealized, turning from hope to chains. (And yes, they are all projects my current self still feels strongly about.) I want to finally break free, to make my visions reality so that I may live with the real things, however imperfect, rather than the ghosts of what could be, and share the things I love with others, and make room for new dreams.
I am highly looking forward to your shrine (not just because it's Subaru, but because it's you), and your writing will absolutely be central and precious and not just a prelude to the extras!! (Excited for the gallery too, the present-day web needs more themed CLAMP galleries. But as you say, that can come later.)
Let 2026 be the year where we manage to shake off our curses!
