Welcome to Disclosure, the update log for Aelysia.net. Like any long-term project, I aim to keep a record of the
activities and key changes made on this domain. This log serves as a space to track announcements and general updates. All entries are archived
on a single page, allowing for easier navigation through individual categories. Please note that as you explore older entries, some links may be
outdated or no longer accessible.
Posted on 03 Jun '26 filed under Events As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain and improve our network, our sites will be undergoing a comprehensive overhaul over the coming months. Most of these changes are routine enhancements focused on usability, consistency, presentation, and overall modernization, with the majority of revisions expected to be completed by Fall 2026.
Cerine and I will also be participating in Lethe's Our Kingdoms Eternal Site Marathon. With many areas of our sites having remained largely unchanged for several years, we felt this would be the ideal opportunity to refresh older designs, revisit long-standing formats, and further refine the overall identity of our network. This initiative is one of the primary driving factors behind the upcoming overhaul.
For those who maintain a website collective and are contemplating a redesign, or for anyone considering establishing a collective of their own, I would strongly encourage participation in the event. Beyond serving as a catalyst for creative renewal, it provides a valuable opportunity to engage with fellow webmasters, exchange ideas, and draw inspiration from the diverse projects and perspectives of others undertaking similar endeavors.
Posted on 13 Feb '26 filed under Aquarel.nu, New We've opened a new wing within Aquarel, a directory devoted to web cliques we've encountered and quietly admired.
Aquarel speaks to watercolor: pigment meeting water, edges softening, colors blending into one another without losing their character. This extension follows that same spirit. It began as a separate idea, something we thought would live outside the network. But keeping it within Aquarel felt more honest. We don't exist in isolation; we flow alongside other communities, influences gently bleeding into one another.
Each listing includes a small note, just enough to capture a clique’s tone, focus, or creative texture. Inspired in part by the thoughtful presentation style of Cloudplane, the directory isn't just a list of links. It's a wash of shared affinities, layered carefully so visitors can glimpse the feeling of a space before stepping into it.
We invite you to wander through it. And if there's a clique you adore, or one you believe deserves a place in this growing canvas, please share it with us. Let the colors continue to blend.
Posted on 03 Feb '26 filed under Fanlisting, New I am pleased to announce the opening of a new fanlisting, focused on the subject of quotes—conceived as both an archival and aesthetic exercise. The subject felt well suited to the botanical linework style, which I've been wanting to use in a more deliberate and restrained way. Its clean lines and organic structure pair naturally with quotation, preserving language in a clear, distilled form.
- Scripta Manent - In developing this listing, my intention was to pursue a minimalist design philosophy without sacrificing visual interest. The layout privileges negative space and typographic balance, allowing the quoted material to remain central while maintaining an understated sense of elegance.
Those who are drawn to the collection, interpretation, or quiet appreciation of quotations—across literature, media, or personal reflection—are warmly encouraged to join. This fanlisting is meant to function as a shared repository of resonant language, curated through simplicity and intention.
Posted on 24 Jan '26 filed under Clique, Everbloom, New Everbloom is a long-form creative initiative that has been in conceptual development for some time. The project centers on an appreciation for nature (particularly floral imagery) as a source of sustained inspiration, reflection, and creative inquiry. It is intended for individuals drawn to daydreaming, artistic exploration, and slower, more intentional modes of expression.
Although the foundation for Everbloom was established months ago, its progress was deliberately paused while I prioritized several larger, time-sensitive projects. With those commitments now largely resolved, I’m returning to Everbloom with renewed focus and clarity.
The clique is designed as a welcoming, contemplative space, one that values observation, creativity, and organic growth over urgency. For those whose interests align, I recommend joining the list to follow its continued development.
Posted on 19 Jan '26 filed under New Since the founding of Aquarel.nu, I have taken time to revisit certain elements of the site; those that felt ready for refinement and restoration. Among them was the guestbook, a feature that has long served as a record of passing visitors, yet one that I felt could become something more enduring.
Inspired by Lethe's message in a bottle guestbook concept, I was moved by the notion of correspondence preserved across time. Letters written with intention, sealed with care, and discovered long after their author has moved on. From this influence grew the idea of transforming the guestbook into a timeless archive—one shaped by the romance of handwritten love letters and a design rooted in vintage sensibilities.
This new guestbook is meant to feel like an heirloom. A shared volume where thoughts are not simply submitted, but entrusted. Each entry, whether thoughtful or brief, joins a growing collection of voices that speak softly across the years. It is a place of remembrance, where words are cherished and kept, much like letters pressed between the pages of an old book.
