September 30, 2002. I know, I know. AN UPDATE? How crazy ;)! Anyway, as you've probably figured, school has been kind of getting in the way of...well....EVERYTHING. There are already three new sites in the webring (be sure to check them out!) and I've just added seven new members, but I'm still updating. We are once again the runner-ups for "best club" in the LE Awards, so that's up on the awards page. There'll be some new stuff on the site as soon as I'm caught up, so PLEASE keep stopping by! Thank you all for your support and interest--you're what keeps SNSA going :).
August 23, 2002. We have three brand new Spikeaholics today. WOOHOO! Other than that, updates are pretty scarce. I'm STILL waiting to put up my sound archive until I can get the bandwidth problem resolved...I'll get it done as SOON as I possibly can. I'll be away this weekend yet AGAIN, and then, I have to *gulp* pack to go back to school. Updates will be limited until then. Once I get back, I'll hopefully have a chance to add all sorts of fun stuff. Remember--if you have a story of an encounter with James, or any fiction, art, etc., to post on the site, PLEASE E-mail it to me at spikeaholics@hotmail.com. Thank you, and welcome to our newest members :).
August 20, 2002. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JAMES MARSTERS! It's his amazing portrayal of Spike that has brought us all together in our shared addiction :). On an actual update related note ;), we had the freaky coincidence (and honor) of hitting 100 members ON James' birthday. How's that for a birthday present? I'm in the process of admitting the new patients now. So far, I've added six, with more to come in the next update. I'd do it now, but once again, it's the post-vacation swamped time for me. To member number 95--I don't have an E-mail address to send your badges to, so if you read
this, please let me know where to send them. There's a new link on the links page (at the bottom with the buttons) for a wonderful new site called "Eternal Devotion." The webmistress Sandy is incredibly nice, and I'm sure she'd love it if you all popped over and had a look. There are three new sites in the webring (YAY!), and plenty of openings. All off you Spikeaholics with sites--JOIN! :):) Spikeaholics Not So Anonymous also came in as a runner-up in the Loving Enemy Award's for best club/clique site. Our first site award! It's up in the awards section if you're interested in taking a peek. What else? Sorry to
disappoint, but nothing for now. I'll be adding some fun new stuff (hopefully ;)) soon, so stay tuned. Remember--We're Spikeaholics, and we don't want the cure! :) Until next time;)
August 10, 2002. We have three new members, upping the total to 93! WOW! We've also joined Esme's wonderful webring at Shadows and Dust, and are up for another award. I also put up two new pages--one for webrings, and one for awards. Let's hope they *both* fill up quickly :). Lastly, and I'm sorry to do this AGAIN, but I'll be on vacation once again until August 17th. Let's just hope it doesn't take me as long to catch up with the sitework as it did when I got back from my last one. Anyway, surf the site, send submissions, and sign the guest book! See you all in a week :).
August 6, 2002. So far today I've added one new affiliate (And I'm SORRY, Esme! I could've sworn that button was up already...), as well as a brand-spanking new guestbook. Sign it! :) I did a little tweaking to the members pages too--instead of having everyone on one huge page, I've divided them into 50-member incraments. There are also five new members as WELL as a new "encounters" section where members of SNSA can share their experiences with meeting James Marsters. That's all for today--thanks for checking in. :)
August 5, 2002. I'm so sorry for the long absence! Things have been hectic, and while going away was nice, I came back busier than ever. There are 9 new members--I'll add the remaining ones tomorrow. Thank you all for being so patient! Patricia made us a BEAUTIFUL new banner (thank you so much, dear!), and there are two new links on the links page. We have one new affiliate, and that's about it for now. I'll put the long-overdue encounters page up tomorrow. A note to new members number 77 and 81--I was unable to reach you via E-mail. Please E-mail me at spikeaholics@hotmail.com and let me know where to send your badges.
A note: As of today (July 20th), I'll be away for about a week. Obviously, there'll be no updates...Just bear with me, and trust that some great stuff is on the horizon. I hope all of you have a wonderful week, and thank you for supporting the site! :)
MORE for July 18th! We now have some gorgeous new buttons courtesy of Sasha at SOBAZ, as well as two new site banners to link to us with. Aren't they pretty?? In Emmy news, BtVS was NOT nominated in any of the major catergories (*sniff* JAMES *sniff*), but garnered four nominations nonetheless. They are:
Outstanding Hairstyling For A Series, Outstanding Makeup For A Series (Non-Prosthetic), Outstanding Makeup For A Series (Prosthetic) [All for "Hell's Bells], and Outstanding Music Direction for OMWF. Here's hoping!
July 18, 2002. We have 6 new members! WOOOHOOO!! My project will be included in the next update, finished or not. Also, I'm adding a con page. If any of you have been to any convention or seen James Marsters in any venue, please E-mail me your accounts of the event. Darla has an *amazing* story from Shoreleave that will be the first on the page. You won't believe it...Also, Emmy nominations are announced in about an hour! Here's hoping for BtVS.
July 15, 2002. Hello once again! My TOP SECRET SPECIAL PROJECT (TM) is just about finished...Expect that as soon as I get back from my *vacation*. I'll be gone all of next week, so I'm going to try to get everything caught up during this week. I added three new links today, lots of random silliness, and I expect to add new members later today. Also, if anyone has any Shore Leave accounts, pictures, etc., E-mail me at spikeaholics@hotmail.com and let me know if I can place them on the site. Thanks! :)
July 8, 2002. Wow! It's been a long time (compared to my every-day update streak as of late ;)). Never fear--in addition to just adding 6 new members, I've also been working on a top-secret project that's almost done and that I'm hoping you'll all love. Plus, Esme and I have started the daunting task that is the Spike-only episode guide. Anyone interested in helping needs only e-mail me at spike_girl60@yahoo.com and you, too, can be part of the magic. Shades of Grey has a new URL. I should be done with my surprise within the next day or two, so stay tuned...:)
July 3, 2002. I'm trying to take some of the clutter off of the main page...I've made a separate updates page (which you happen to be reading right now ;)) and a separate page for our affiliates. I think the next step is to remake all of the buttons on the main page into a smaller, uniform size. Taking up less space is of the good. Any comments? Let me know :).
July 1, 2002. There's a new site in the webring (Welcome, Shades of Grey! The site URL is http://www.geocities.com/angels_soul_1/shadesofgrey.html. Check it out!), as well as three new members. There are a few new links in the links section, and that's about it. Any feedback on the new Spike in print section? Submissions? Let me know. :)
June 29, 2002. Added a new section--"Spike in Print." Right now, it includes the descriptions of Spike from three BtVS books (thanks Esme!), and it will hopefully be expanding...
June 28, 2002. Added 6 new members, bringing the count up to 61. WOW! I haven't been able to reach members 55, 59, or 61 by E-mail to send you your badges. Check, and if that's you, please contact me at spikeaholics@hotmail.com so I can get them to you :). There are two new banners up to link to us with (thank you, BuffyX!). Also, I made 4 new buttons--one for links, one for the adoptions and such, one for our memberships, and one for the Spike-only episode guide. Let me know what you think of them--they're the first ones I've ever attempted. :):)
