You may be reading this and thinking that there’s something… different about the site. That would be a nice, fresh installation of WordPress. I’ve installed it mainly to make my life a little easier with maintaining the site and keeping news and things up to date; it’s a lot easier to do that when you only have to log in to the dashboard and have everything a mouse-click away.

I’ll be gradually converting the pages over to the WordPress layout, but until then the rest of the site will work anyway, though you’ll probably get a little dizzy as the pages will be using the old layout.

I have no plans of converting the fics themselves to WordPress pages. There are well over a thousand of them, and to do that would just be insanity, from both the perspective of having to put the time into converting them, and also because WordPress isn’t really built to handle that many different files in a sane manner.

So, please bear with me while this transfer takes place, and if you find anything broken, please be sure to contact me and let me know about it.

We’re pleased to announce our spanking new forums for discussion of all things Vampire Diaries. We hope that it will be a place for both fans of the books and the TV series to hang out, discuss the series and other topics, and get to know each other.

Announcing: The Vampire Diaries Wiki

Collected here will be information on the books, the TV series, and even the computer game. It is by no means complete, and there’s a lot of information that still needs adding. If you’d like to help out, then please sign up and start adding information. You don’t need to know how to edit a wiki to help, and there are some explanations for you on the main page. Even small things help a great deal, such as adding page references, links to useful websites, and even catching and correcting typos within the articles.
