March 2000 - A new and charming shrine,
Promises Not Needed, is in the Van section
of the Sites
listing - g'wan and enjoy it. I did! (And not just
because I got a favourable credit in the Gallery.
*blush*) As
I may have mentioned, I'm going away at the start
of April to travel the world. But don't worry,
because administration of this site will be taken
over for the duration by a very good egg of my
acquaintance, Erdufylla. More about that
later. 25
February 2000 - We now have two, count 'em, two
spiffy new Jajuka shrines where before there were
none! See the Sites
listing for details! What I find humbling is that
the creators of both these sites cite my
sites as inspiration. No, actually I find that
head-swelling *^.^* The thing is, even without
being vain about my own work, I think it's great
that something I did prompted someone else to make
something I can objectively say is pretty
damn' cool. 12
February 2000 - 'tis a great day for the
Allenish. A lovely new shrine for the esteemed Mr
Schezar has opened, the gallant swordsman,
so see the Sites
listing for details! This kind of spoils my plans
to help Mr Mole to Webwide domination, since it
brings them neck-and-neck, but I was gonna wreck
that with the Project anyway. Oh well - you can't
keep a good knight down! 5
February 2000 - Kung hei fot choy! I'm sorry if
I spelled that wrong, but it's meant to be Chinese
(Cantonese) for 'Happy New Year.' This is the first
day of the Year of the Dragon, and I am pleased to
announce the opening of my new shrine for Van and
Folken Fanel, {{
Here Be Dragons
}}.
See the Sites
listing for details. There's also new art in the
Misc.
section. I've been a busy girl! Meanwhile,
I've had news of another forthcoming Jajuka
shrine, so we should see that here soon! I've once
again picked up the idea of an Allen shrine, with a
somewhat different style than I'd first envisioned
- once I've recovered slightly from my
Van-and-Folken overload, I'll start work on The
Allen Schezar Project *^.^* 27
January 2000 - woah, first update of the new
year. Happy Y2K, y'all. The big news is, there is
another Moleman shrine! Isn't that awesome?
It was conceived by the delightful Umi of Mystic
Eyes, in collusion with Kat of the Moleman Worship
Page (and, I'll admit, with considerable
encouragement from me, 'cause you know I love
secondary characters) as part of a campaign whose
goal is to see Mr Mole with more shrines on the Web
than Allen Schezar. Well, he's already got more
shrines in *escaboys! See the
Sites
listing for details. In
other news, Here Be Dragons is running close to
deadline, since I'm planning/hoping to launch it on
February 5, the first day of the Year of the
Dragon. Wish me luck. Actually, wish me
inspiration. I have some chewy writing to get
through. And, happily for all secondary-character
fans, there will soon be a Jajuka shrine. I'm in
touch with the girl who's making it, and I expect
great things of her. For a sample of her peculiar
genius (I mean peculiar as in unique to her, honest
*^.^*) check out The
Cantaloupe
Shrine
or The
Bubblegum Garden
Society,
probably the only Chibi-Usa shrine in the world to
include Dilandau. If you want to find out why and
in God's name how, go visit! 15
December 1999 - A new shrine! Hop along to the
Sites
listing and visit Mystic Eyes. Van deserved this.
Here Be Dragons is currently, um, in a holding
pattern. At the moment I'm spending a lot of time
writing a ridiculous but enjoyable yaoi
love-story taking place about a quarter-century
after the events of Scars On the Heart (my
gigantic fanfic, housed at <<prettyboy
from
hell>>)
- that one story has spawned an even more gigantic
continuity, which may someday see the light of the
Internet. Ten days to Christmas. Holy crap, I don't
have anyone's presents yet. 7
December 1999 - Now I do have a title
for the Van-and-Folken shrine. It'll be called Here
Be Dragons - and, well, it'll be the kind of shrine
I do, just about Van and Folken. (In other words,
fluffy-brained drooling interspersed with character
and narrative analysis and attempts at humour, not
all of it off-colour.) There
was no particular point in telling you that, but
hey, it's my website *^.^* Here Be Dragons will be
ready for viewing... someday. I can't be more
definite than that. Also, I've been looking around
for more shrines for the listing, but good ones are
hard to find. 2
December 1999 - Dilandau-likers may be
interested to know that the galleries at
<<prettyboy
from
hell>>
have been reorganised and considerably expanded,
including new screencaptures and doujinshi
art. In What Sarah-neko Is Up To News, I am making
plans for a combined Folken and Van shrine - since
I couldn't choose between then, I decided not to. I
don't yet have even a title for it but I'll let you
know as soon as there's any news. And
in Sarah-neko Showing Off News, I got straight As
for my final exams this year (well, two A minuses
and two plain As), so I guess constructing
*escaboys at the same time as trying to
study didn't do any harm after all.
Yay! 27
November 1999 - The gallery at Merchant
Prince
has been greatly expanded from its beginnings. If
anyone had gone there repeatedly over the last few
days, they might have been rather perplexed to
observe the rapidly-changing URLs of the images -
first they were located in
sarahneko.tripod.com/dryden/images, then
www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Bridge/8638/images, before
ending up at their present home,
www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Bunker/5526/images
(which is in the account where my father keeps his
military
history
homepage).
All this feverish shifting is because I've filled
up both my Tripod and GeoCities accounts with sheer
bulk of stuff. As a result, I am in the
process of farming my old Sailor Moon
relationship shrines out to other webmasters who
have the patience and enthusiasm to go on with them
- while I retain great affection for Sailor
Moon, I just can't be bothered to keep up with
SM sites any more. Once Focus:
Yuuichirou &
Rei
and Greenstone:
a memorial of
love
are off my GeoCities account and being cared for by
the noble Mooch and Chibirei, I'll have room to
expand in new directions - at the moment I'm trying
to decide whether to make a Van shrine (I know what
I said about heroes, but I have a little thing for
Van) or a Folken shrine, possibly to bite the
bullet and finish Janua Caeli, or perhaps I should
take a break from my dear Escaboys and dedicate a
site to Irresponsible Captain Tylor. I think
Ru Baraba Dom and Folken have the same
tailor. 23
November 1999 - There is a Moleman shrine. Do
not adjust your set; I repeat, there is a
Moleman shrine. Check it out in the
Sites
listing. (Congratulations to Kat for being weird
enough and cool enough to make it.) 12
November 1999 - There's some new fanart in the
Misc section. 11
November 1999 - Merchant
Prince
is up and running! If you like Dryden, go there! If
you like piña coladas, go to a bar called
O'Malley's to plan your escape. (I had that song
running around my head like a rat in a cage this
morning.) There's a new fight in the Battle Arena
at <<prettyboy
from
hell>>
for them as likes that sort of thing (why I've just
started to talk like a rustic Lancrastian in a
Terry Pratchett novel, I don't know) and a new
feature may be forthcoming soon... depends on
whether I can get the co-operation I
need. 7
November 1999 - Just a small announcement - I
have shelved the Janua Caeli project for the
foreseeable future, because I'm running short of
inspiration. (Allen fans may be outraged. Okay,
you make a shrine about him, then.) I don't
think I can make shrines about heroes, just
secondary characters and villains - as a glance at
my
homepage
will attest. The same thing happened the time I
tried to make a Sailor Mercury website (although I
maintain that 'Chasing Ami' would have been a cool
title) - whole thing fizzled like a damp bottle
rocket. With this in mind, my new work in progress
is the first (to my knowledge) Dryden Fassa shrine,
'Merchant Prince.' Stay tuned *^.^* 5
November 1999 - Despite my reservations
expressed below, I've decided to go ahead and
upload now. Apart from anything else I have nothing
to do on a Friday night and I'm kind of depressed
so I want to do something that will cheer me up. I
hope this project will be worthwhile and people
will support it. I don't feel very sure of anything
right now. I'm even contemplating shelving Janua
Caeli (my Allen Schezar shrine-in-progress) for the
time being, since <<prettyboy from
hell>> needs my attention more (unfinished
business) and I think I'm really keener to work on
Dryden once I'm free. Whatever. I really did enjoy
making this site and I hope it'll be enjoyable and
useful for its visitors. Escaboys
forever! Also,
following a comment from a visitor, and my own
realisation that it was rather pointless, I got rid
of the Quizlet on the front page. ~
Previous Notes ~ Since this website is brand
new, there isn't a lot of history to tell you. I
think I started working on it on or about the first
of November, 1999. Which I really shouldn't have,
because I was preparing for my final exams at the
time, but I needed something to take the pressure
off, y'know? Today
is the second of November - I think that'd be Blue,
second Moon in the Gaean calendar. Hey, bitchin',
tomorrow's Allen Schezar's birthday! What a shame
my Allen shrine isn't ready to launch on his
birthday. On my side of the International Date
Line, anyway; I suppose I might have it ready in
time for November 3 in North America. This is why I
haven't uploaded *escaboys straight away - I
want to get Janua Caeli finished first.
