Site changes, news and question.  
Effects... will be back this week - I've got the problems with it solved and it's now just a matter of me not hating the graphics I've made for it (trust me, that'll take a day or so before I actually think it's worth sharing with people, although I've got a miniature of it open right now and I'm getting to like it more. Hmmm. *g*)

To go with the relaunch of the site, I'm keen to have new content on there so if anyone has any Faith/Xander material - either fic, graphics or anything else - please let me know! (Remember the site isn't just about a romantic pairing, it can be a working relationship, a mutual hatred, whatever - so long as Faith and Xander are the primary focus.)

Other things, I'm going to take down my picture resource site soon because the script running it is taking up way too much space and since no one but me can upload to it there's no point having it running it the way it currently is. What I'll do is redesign it and upload them all again without using such a clunky script, so if anyone has any images they're using there - or linking to *glares* - then let me know and I'll upload those again first of all. (Right now I have screencaps for Pinata, the UK Serenity trailer, some from Dalek as well as other random images (mostly Xander-centric being used for [livejournal.com profile] zeppo_stillness))

And finally. I'm thinking of setting up another pairing archive, I've not seen one of these around and I know it's a bit of a minority pairing these days, so I'm looking to see how much interest there would be in a Buffy/Xander site. It would be the same idea as Effects... in that it would focus on both romantic and non-romantic relationships so long as they are the principal characters.

Whoa!
First time I've seen your picture resource site! Some very cool stuff there. Having never seen Pinata, I'm already wondering what kind of icons I can make from them. (I've definitely gotten the photoshop bug since coming to LJ)

Looking forward to the return of Effects. I only have one story to add to it that is part of a series I've written and unfortunately I have no B/X to offer at this point.

I'll gladly write one for your site when I get some inspiration though.

Re: Whoa!
*g* I tend to use the picture site more for myself than anything else, it's things I like so I never really consider that other people might want to see them as well so I never advertise it. Once it's relaunched though that will change!

And yay for possible future B/X ficcage from you!

Still mostly off-line due to scary weather, but I did see this.

I'm also looking forward to the return of Effects... although I don't anticipate having much to put up there any time soon *g* And I didn't even know about the pics site. That's all kinds of great.

As for the Buffy and Xander site, I would of course love the idea. Faith's great, sure, but I still prefer blondes *s* If you do go ahead with it, could I archive my fics there?

If you do go ahead with it, could I archive my fics there?

Absolutely! It probably won't be an auto-archive in the way INAP is, it will more likely be manual updates to maintain a level of quality that sometimes INAP lacks. To be able to house your B/X stories on there would be fantastic!

And yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going ahead with it now! Might take a little while until it's ready to launch though.

I'd be interested in a B/X site. I actually do like that pairing together.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on August 21st, 2005 10:18 am (UTC)
It's not a pairing I write much, but it's definitely one I read a lot and there are a heck of a lot of fantastic writers who write in that ship. I'm more or less convinced there's a call for it out there - and heck, maybe I'll even go for Writers' Guild site for both it and Effects...!

There used to be a few good B/X sites, but they're all pretty much defunct now. I'd love to see a new, quality site emerge. No one better tha you, Mara, for quality. Maybe I'd actually finally round up all my stuff (pretty much all B/X, all the time) and post it there. I don't even have all of it on my own site (I got lazy with the updates). Please do it.

*blush* thanks! I'm pretty much decided I'm definitely going to do it now...

It would be fantastic to house your stories there!

Feel free to raid my Fanfiction Dot Net stories and my LJ for whatever you want.

Just let me know what you decide to grab so I can make sure you've got the latest version of it.

Thanks! I'll email you at some point this week if that's okay?

I waited for some time to go by before posting this, but I was wondering... TL&L. You enjoyed that one, yes? It's actually long overdue for re-editing, and there might be a couple of extra scenes to add here and there as well, I'm not sure.

After that... I've got a few sequel one shots. Basically a chronicle of Buffy and Xander's relationship in that 'verse from a couple of years after they get together right up to Xander's death-bed scene (No, don't worry, it's not as dark as it might seem, I promise *g*)

I was wondering, if I set all of that up... and if you did end up doing a B/X site... would you like the exclusivity? As a sort of launch celebration thing? Just a thought, no pressure.
