I Need A Parrot - re-launch!  
Regular readers of this journal (like I believe I have regular readers.... *grin*) will know that for the past few weeks Denise ([livejournal.com profile] smileawhile) and I have been working on setting up a new site. Well guess what? It's ready and it's up and active!

I Need a Parrot is the recognised Xander zone of the BtVS Writers' Guild and [livejournal.com profile] kaz814 has been running it successfully for a while now building up an incredible archive of stories and resources. Unfortunately irreversable server problems wiped the archive and proved to be the final straw for Kaz. So she passed the torch on to us.

*gulp*

Please come visit us, and, if you're a fic writer with a Xander-centric story or two, register and upload - we can only make this a success if you guys help us out! And if you know of anyone who should be archived there, please give them the heads up about the new location for the site?! Thank you!

I Need A Parrot

Thanks Missy! I can't believe how nervous I am about this, I think I bored everyone yesterday by squealing "site's up!" at every given opportunity!

lol Nah. I'm sure they are just as excited as you are. =)

I just went and saw it! It's terrific! I'm so glad you've taken over and are keeping the site alive!

Thanks Gabrielle! When Kaz announced she didn't have the energy to get the archive back I couldn't let it slip by into obscurity, she did so much work setting it up and most of the content there is down to her. Fingers crossed we can make it half as successful as it was!

It's a valuable resource and I'm just so happy that you're keeping it alive! I discovered one of my very favorite Spander stories there back when Kaz was running it and I have had a soft spot in my heart for the site ever since!

Mara, would you mind if I posted a notice about the site reopening on the Batpack list? There are a great many Spander writers and readers there and I just thought they'd like to know that the archive is back! I'll wait til you answer though, in case you object.

Of course I don't mind at all - the more the merrier!

Thanks!

Great! Then I'll go do that right now!

*hugs*
I just pimped you in my LJ and offered a testimonial to the new site on the XanderZone.

Wonderful job, Mara!

I've already uploaded Contrite Spirits, Into the Desert, Revelations, Two Words, Dismay, and Mars Rising. I've also uploaded the first chapters of both Whisper and Living History there as well. I single-handedly pushed you to more than 60 stories.

*sends biiiiiiig love your way*

Re: *hugs*
Thank you, thank you thank you!!

I can't tell you how much your support means! And yay! Over 60 stories in less than 24 hours! I was on the verge of coming down from my hyper state but this just sent me way back up there!

Thank you!
