Art Gallery Revamp
I'm about 75% done with the new gallery layouts. The Secret Circle, Dark Visions, Forbidden Game and Night of the Solstice galleries have been updated and uploaded. I'm halfway through the Vampire Diaries one, and then I have the Night World one left. These two are large galleries, and I've run out of steam to tackle them tonight.
The main reasons for changing the layouts are to make it easier for me when I'm updating, and also to provide more information about the pictures. Any comments and info the artists have submitted are now visible to everyone.
Now that's almost done, is there anything else anyone can think of that I need to do? Spotted any mistakes? Missing files? Rampaging badgers?
EDIT: VD gallery updated and uploaded. Just the NW gallery left.

LJS Fic & Slash Fanlistings
PHPFanBase was b0rked (I assume my hosts did some tweaking), so the fanlistings stopped working. I've switched to Enthusiast, and now everying is working just fine again. If you want to join the fic and slash listings, please feel free to hop along and sign up. L.J. Smith Fanfic FansL.J. Smith Slash FansMySQL errors on the comments have been fixed, hit counter has also been replaced (for some reason, the previous one kept resetting itself). Now that's all fixed, there's just the gallery to get on with. Posted on 10 Feb 2008 by Red
First Update of 2008
Took a while for submissions to trickle in, and then I got distracted with the excitement of LJS coming back, but I have finally updated! Yes. I need to fix the fanlistings and get the gallery in order at some point soon, but for now I'll settle for new work added. :D
I hope that LJS's return, and the publication of new work along with the re-issuing of older books will inspire you all to write more fic. ;)
Strange Fate Update: It will be published when the previous books have been re-issued following this schedule.
NW 1-3 - summer, 2008
NW 4-6 - autumn/fall, 2008
NW 7-9 - spring, 2009
NW 10 - SF - summer, 2009 (with a note from LJS that it's probably going to be the length of three books all by itself. :D)

Letter from LJS
Just passing on a message to you all from LJS. She's kind of busy right now, so may not be able to reply to emails as quickly as she has been doing, but has sent this letter to let everyone know how much she appreciates all the mail. :)
Dear readers,
I love you! I've already met many of you (through emails) and I'm so thrilled and just tickled by this experience. I'm awed and delighted, too, but most of all I'm truly humbled by the kindness of all of you who spent precious time to write to me. You can't imagine how grateful I feel and how much I appreciate what all of you have written. I hope I haven't written anything too heavy to weigh down your inboxes. If I weren't such a gabbler, me, then I wouldn't be a writer, you know? So I also thank those who responded to my response! You're angels, truly. And so from my heart: thank you, thank you, thank you!
But here's the thing. I never, ever expected to get so many loving emails. I didn't know, either, how much time it would take out of my writing-time to answer these beautiful emails. And every day instead of making progress, I just get farther and farther behind. (At first I wrote "more and more behind," but that sounds a bit...racy.) So please understand: if you don't get an email back immediately, it doesn't mean anything except that it came after I had collapsed and realized that, for many reasons, I needed a secretary. I've needed one for some time, for lots of things that have nothing to do with emails or letter writing--but the emails helped to me see that I had to get one ASAP with an emphasis on the "S." Life is much easier now that I have one.
Also, please don't think that because I haven't answered your email, I haven't read it. I do read all my emails and letters--that's why I feel as if I know you--and I love, love, love reading them. So...please, please understand, if you don't get a reply from me at once, it isn't that I've forgotten you, or that you're less important than someone else, or that that you'll never get an answer. You will. But I have to figure out how to balance the emails with the other things in my life.
Thank you, again and again!
Lisa

News from L.J. Smith
Cassie at NWCD has had a letter from L.J. Smith with news in it. You can read some of it here, but the main points are that she's working on Strange Fate again, she's been working on some VD stuff, and she now has a website in the works that will contain pictures and stories and other good stuff. I have to say it will be great to have a site where we can get news from LJS as it happens. :D The site should be going live at some point tomorrow (11th Jan), so keep an eye on it for when it actually happens. http://www.ljanesmith.netEDIT: Site is now live.
