Here we are, Krystal Fans. 13 years online, our lucky year! I don't really have much to say here, except that this site continues to be my longest running project in my life. It's been my pleasure to spend all this time with you and sharing the appreciation for our beloved blue vixen.

I plan to record a "Year in Review" podcast tonight or tomorrow. Much has happened, and I have lots of plans for 2019. A lot of those plans are getting delayed, thanks to real life, so I appreciate your patience.

Hey, fun facts! When the Krystal Archive launched on January 8th, 2006, it predated...

• Star Fox Command's announcement
• Pluto's downgrade to a dwarf planet
• All Anime Abridged Series
• The Nintendo Wii
• Any YouTube resolution higher than 320×240

Happy New Year, everyone! 2018 was wild and crazy: a new Smash Bros with a Krystal trophy, Starlink, and too many stories and interesting projects to mention here. I'm particularly proud of the strides made with the site with more frequent posts and fanart every single day!

In 2019, I plan to do more. Daily news and fanart will be continued, as I'm able to do so. But also in 2019, I finally plan to officially launch StarFox.org, which will focus on showcasing official media and details from the Star Fox series, free from opinion, and less focused on fan works.

I hope you all have had a safe and happy Christmas and New Year celebration. I want to see all of you try just as hard to improve in your own lives in the coming year. Get started on those resolutions!

I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas today with family and friends, gifts and rest. I wish I had a great gift for you, but the projects I was working on aren't quite ready yet. Instead, this Krystmas, you can have all the remaining 4K cutscenes from Star Fox Assault featuring that I haven't released yet. They'll be added to individual posts soon.

Lyric Language Warning

Still catching up with all the stuff I missed in the last few weeks and months. Check out this very well animated Krystal music video by SchattenKitsune666. The song is Friends by Marshmello & Anne-Marie.

Also cool, she re-created one of her older MMDs, but with Krystal wearing her Assault suit.

This super cute Krystal figurine is... super cute. I don't have much else to say, I just wanted you guys to know. Discuss in the comments. This very nice figurine was created by Anthromon.

Craig Beverlin, aka ChickyBoy, has recorded a video of his Krystal puppet singing the song Lifelight, from Super Smash Bros Ultimate, in honor of the game's release.
