09/21/2005: "September Updates and plans"

I have begun using the helioupdate yahoo!group to post messages about the archive and ask for suggestions. It is announcement only, and low-volume, so feel free to join, if you are interested.

Last weekend, I did some revisions and caught up on most of the archive changes, which is a good thing, as last night I ended up having to reformat my laptop. While most of the information was backed up, I lost a lot of my work files, my mail for the last 4 1/2 months and my address book.

As for changes on the horizon, we are about to enter the hiatus. This is typically when I update the archive and search engines to reflect new canon. For example, I will add all of the episodes to date. There have been a lot of new characters this year - on both shows. I would like to hear from you guys as to which pairings/characters need to be added, as I haven't kept up with the fic lately. If I have questions, I'll put up a poll or two...

I also have some changes to make to the site, such as fixing some of the submission problems, and putting up some forms, so I stop getting slammed with so much spam, and updating the submission guidelines.... I'm going to be a busy girl.

----------------------------------------

For those who have asked... my husband is still home, but has not yet returned to work (which is another reason that I have been scarce). He has another doctor's appointment next Monday, and we anticipate that it will be at least two weeks after that. He is doing better, though ( a little). Thank you for all of the e-mails and support that you have sent to us. I have loved hearing from all of you who have taken the time to share your thoughts, prayers and stories. I am sorry that I missed responding to a few of you, and now no longer have your e-mails or information. Please forgive me.
