| Gallery: Two new images
| Plugs: Hoshi
Haha... Sorry I didn't update last week. It was a little hectic, what with it being the last week of school <.< But I graduated last week ♥ Hehe. (Onwards to college! *dead*)
To make up for it, I have two new images for you! One of them is a group image that most people have probably seen floating around the web in a smaller format. The other is a pair image. Well, sort of. It's really a group image that was cut in half (as you can probably see), and I didn't have the time or the patience to piece the two parts together like I did with that image of Sting, Stellar, and Auel as young experiments. However, if you want the whole thing, I'll be glad to piece it together sooner rather than later xD
Also, I apologize for all the media-related stuff (though that is what most people look for xD). Now that it's summer, I should, hopefully, have more time to focus on those new pages I promised you two months ago ^^;
Thank you for the continued support!
Saku! ♥

| Gallery: Replaced one old image
| Graphics: Eight new icons
| Plugs: Hoshi and Elie
Replaced group image 11 in the gallery. It's huge. So you guys don't get a new image this week xD Enjoy though! I'm sure people can make some nice graphics from the new version! (And submit them xD *hint hint*)
On that note, we have our first submissions to the Graphics page: eight new icons, submitted by Hoshi. (I personally think the second one is the cutest thing ever xD) She finally realized that Gravity was back on-line, so she immediately attacked me with icons *laughs* So the fan pages are no longer empty. Yay? Let this be some motivation for some other people to send in their works! *hinthint xD*
Saku! ♥

| Overview: Statistics, Background, Personality, As a Soldier
| Gallery: Replaced one old image; One new image
| Plugs: Hoshi and Arwa
I edited all of the overview pages with new images; the old ones were so big, bulky, and ugly <__< The new ones are more stream-lined, so it looks better alltogether. Haha ^^; I hope to do the same for all the other information sections soon. (In fact, some of the information sections still need images <.<)
Replaced Group image #5 with a better version this week, and there's a new SEED Club image, so go check it out! I apologize that the left side of it is cut off, but it's the best version I have. If someone has a better version of it, please feel free to donate! It'd make me so happy!
On that note, I'd like to ask that people refrain from donating images right now. I have a lot of images to put up still, and I'd hate for people to waste their time donating images that I already have. Plus, I'd like to avoid the obligatory confrontation of "Why didn't you credit me for that image!?" when someone thinks they donated that image, but really didn't <_< Of course, if you think you have an ultra-new/ultra-rare image that I couldn't possibly have gotten my hands on yet, feel free to donate xD That, or if you have a better version of an image I have already updated/put up within the past month, because I obviously don't have a better copy xD
Wow... I've almost made it to two months! Hehe! Let's hope I can keep this momentum up! Thanks for your support so far, guys! And thank you to the people who commented and shared their opinions on the screenshots. I totally agree about hating the blown-up pixelated things on Google xD
Saku! ♥

| Screenshots: Phase 03
| Plugs: Elie
Whee! Phase 03 is finally up in the screenshots section (after what? a year?)! 23 screenshots alltogether. I don't think I can squeeze any more Sting screenshots out of this episode, so don't expect to see more added to Phase 03 ^^; Hopefully, I'll have Phase 04 up soon! I'll update the image gallery next week; sorry to disappoint!
I do have one question though. Do you guys want bigger screenshots, or is the current size all right? I've experimented with bigger screenshots, but the quality of the image always seems to go down: the lines get blurry, and the color fades a little. Plus, the imperfections of Destiny's animation and frames are much more visible xD However, if the image isn't zoomed out completely, and the shot actually features Sting and the others close-up, the screenshot isn't ruined really. What do you guys want? Maybe I should put up the current size, plus a bigger option too? Comments are very much appreciated!
Saku! ♥

| Plugs: Elie
Waaah! Sorry for not updating last week. I've been super-busy. In fact, I'm still super busy, but I didn't want to go update-less for two weeks straight. To make up for it, I've put up a better version of group image #13 and two new images; a group one, and a solo one. So wheee~ ^^
I have many more images to put up; I'm almost ashamed that I've been hoarding them so long, but now, I have some material for a couple more updates at least xD Until next week, enjoy! -^^-
Saku! ♥

| Gallery: Replaced one group image
| Plugs: Elie
Sorry, not a lot going on this week. I did update the gallery a little with a group image. It should be the tenth one. It's not a new image, but it is bigger and of a better quality than the old version was. I'll be updating the gallery a bit over the next few weeks with better copies of some of the images. Enjoy!
Saku!

| Affiliates: New page for affiliates
| About: Merged 'About' and 'Name' pages
| Fanart: Two works taken down; New submission from AA
| Fanlisting: Sharing the Same Fate
| Listed At: Emotion, Viva Rock!, Cloud 9
Hehe. Happy Belated Mother's Day, if there are any moms that visit this site! My mom's good and happy now, so I thought I'd procrastinate on my homework and update instead xD Yes, the update is later than I intended it to be, but I had a few loose ends to tie up regarding the fanart, so I got a little delayed.
I changed the navigation around a little, so that I could give my affiliates their own page. I felt guilty sticking them on a simple "Links" page ^^; To keep the two navigation columns balanced, "About" and "Name" were merged into a simple About page. No one pays much attention to them anyway so it doesn't matter xD
Fanart has also been re-organized a little. Two of AA's things have been taken down, "CAUSE IT SUCKS" according to her. (I saved the IM conversation, thus, the colors xD) I completely disagree, but she's the artist, so she has the final word. I think she's overly-critical of her cute art xD
However, I did put up a new Sting drawing that she gave me back in November <3 She recently got a new set of pretty markers, and she needed a guinea pig, so I demanded new Sting art for Gravity. This was before we suddenly went off-line, as you can see from the date on the drawing. So, I've been hoarding it until now xD It's really cute and pretty, so go take a look! I love the coloring job on it -^^- The colors are a lot bolder on the original, because my scanner eats colors. But it's still very very lovely <3
(If you haven't noticed, by the way, I'm abusing tables to get everything to align the way I want. You can see examples of this on the Affiliates and Fanart pages... I think it looks nicer this way so nyaah! I'm not a fan of wasted space xD)
I found a new fanlisting, Sharing the Same Fate, which is dedicated to the relationship between Auel, Sting, and Stellar. If you're a fan of their relationship, go join her fanlisting! Its link was recently updated at animefanlistings.org after Akira K.S. adopted it from destiny, so it's currently a little empty, since very few people seem aware of the switch. Go give Akira and Phantom Pain some love! <3
Also submitted Gravity to a few anime directories to get the word out there that we are back! They have a long list of awesome anime sites and shrines, so take your time to scroll through the directory and find something that interests you. Prepared to be amazed by the dedication to be found! *cough* Yeah, I'll quit the dramatics xD
I am in the process of making some new pages, and I've commissioned someone to write up the mobile suit information for me, because I am still being a lazy ass when it comes to stats and figures. I don't think this person will ever get around to actually finishing it, so I'll probably end up writing it anyway... But in any case, those are a few things to look forward to!
<3 Saku!
P.S. I finally got myself a HaloScan account for Gravity, so you can leave me comments now! ... *cricket cricket* xD

| Renewed Affiliate: Freedom x Justice
Mwuhahah! All of my old friends haven't dropped off the face of the Internet! *laughs* Hehe. Please welcome back chiqui of the infamous Freedom x Justice! She still has one of the best shrines dedicated to Athrun and Kira's relationship <3 It houses a collection of fanfiction and media content, as well as some tidbits of information on SEED's two main characters. I love how she incorporates her own opinions on their relationship into the site; it makes me feel guilty about possibly not putting enough of myself into this shrine. Waah. She shall be my inspiration to dedicate more time to this shrine!
Saku!
P.S. Don't worry. This won't be the only update for the weekend (hopefully). I've just got some spare time before I fall unconscious from this sleep-free week, and felt that I should do something in case I didn't wake up for the rest of the weekend xD

| New Affiliate: Broken Wings
Whee! I have a new affiliate! Elie's lovely Stellar shrine, Broken Wings, is one of the best sources for Stellar Loussier out there. All of the information is well-written, accurate, and detailed. The site is easy to navigate, but that doesn't mean the layout isn't beautiful -^^- Elie also has a few good quality, rare Stellar scans up too ~.^ It is a great honor to be affiliated with it. *bows to Elie's greatness*
Hehe. Now that we've formed a link between our shrines, we have two-thirds of Phantom Pain. Are there any Auel shrine owners out there that are interested in completing our circle? xD Sadly, my old Auel affiliate, In Blue, has dropped off the face of the Earth <.<
Hehe. I'll have more updates for you next week! My scanner is being incredibly petulant, so apologies. Expect updates on either Saturday or Sunday ^^
<3 Saku!

| Back on-line!
And GRAVITY is officially back on-line! I apologize greatly for the downtime, but Alison-sama's domain, cosmic-era.net, expired back in November 2007, and she had not told me that she was not planning on renewing it. Thus, GRAVITY went off-line rather suddenly and without any warning whatsoever. My apologies <.<
Shortly after that huge setback, I finally convinced my parents to allow me to purchase a domain, so I spent a lot of time getting everything together for the new domain, transferring everything over, and of course, revamping GRAVITY. We bought a new computer when Windows ME basically became obsolete, so that delayed me even further. It didn't help that I was being weighed down by a ton of evil French homework in preparation for the AP Exams -- My teacher's insane, I tell you! That on top of the other homework for the other exams.. <_<
But finally, I have managed to get all of my files over to the new computer, and now here we are! I hope to update GRAVITY more often that I have in the past, but don't hold me to that. Despite being in my senior year, I am still quite busy, because I have not yet been inflicted with senioritis, and I am still insisting on taking vigorous courses ^^;
But I will update as soon as I can. Please expect another one soon! I hope to continue revamping all of GRAVITY's content, little by little, while also adding new things to some of the sections. Please support me in my effort by sending in some things to fill in the Fan category and e-mailing me with suggestions and other things that you would like to see added to the site! See you soon!
Saku!
