This will be short (someone please shoot me if it takes you longer than 15 minutes to read this...) as my time is at a minimum.
The site started out small - like, miniscule. And, over the past year, it has steadily grown, gaining a second fandom and becoming this huge... thing that continues to surprise me. I can honestly say I never thought it would become what it has, or stick around as long as this... but you learn something new everday.
Because it's a milestone (of sorts), there are people to thank and all that, so thank you's, virtual choccies, hugs, etc to:
The authors, readers, and visitors: Without any of you, there is no archive - just a whole heap of wasted space... although there are those who will argue that is still the case... *LOL* Authors - thank you for trusting me to archive your wonderful works, thank you readers/visitors for keeping me on my toes, and making mine (and the authors') heads get big with lovely feedback, and thank you all for making the site a success. You all make my day(s) by visiting, reading, submitting, writing, and enjoying.My poor, suffering, RL friends: Suzie, Jodie, Roxanne, Kate, Danielle, Sandy, Rachel, and Eve - my wonderful buds who had to put up with me yacking about the site when I'm sure they would've liked to hear about much more interesting topics. *grin* Girls, thank you for humouring me, and I'll miss you all this year, so keep in touch!!
My (also) poor, suffering family: Yes, my family probably bore the brunt of my natterings. Mum and Tai - thanks for being my sounding boards, but fair's fair anyway since I had to listen to you too. *wink*
My wonderful online friends: Too many people to mention here by name, but I'm sure you all know who you are anyway. *smile* Thank you for being you.
