Just Kidding!

Heh, had you going there for a minute, didn't I?

Anyway, re the minor detail in the chapter title, the DBCA website is now fully up and running! The address is on my profile as my homepage and is also here.

http/s12. yourselves out kiddos!

PS: On that note, There is little point entering the East Wing as yet as there is nothing there, Mel and I are still working on the profiles but there are quite a few. She's doing Aragorn and Snape, and I'm in charge of Erik (duh) and Sherlock Holmes, but we're on the look out for people for Boromir (Sam? You up for the job?) Dracula, Van Helsing (MetalMyersJason? Please?) Jack Sparrow, Batman, Spike (Masked Grace?) and Darth Vader. If any of the people I've mentioned by name have no time, let me know and I'll ask around. Once we get one profile up, we'll let you know so you can check out the format we have in mind.

naomipoe: You are always and most welcome my dear, I was crying with laughter when i wrote the Smurf bit, but flipping that i wouldnt get the names right. Yes! You're in!

Reltistic: Its a geat song! My brother always gets pissed when i steal his CDs, i tell him he should be glad i dont steal his guitars! Have you got that version or the songphic version in your head?

asingledarkcrimsonrose: I like your email, nice, poor Erik, he is a possessive soul. Hell, he even went so far as to own me! (And i dont know why he'd bother)

Sapphire-aria: The first time i read your suggestion i was going "What? SHe wants me to Oh!" (then i fainted) Then i went back and read it again and that sounds great! But why dont we actually put it on the DBCA website, as it will be in context there! (does happy robot dance) My website is up!

mrs. malfoy: I live for my story and my reviews, they are the only things that keep me sane (or as sane as i can be) Get thee to the website now!

Kooz: You will both love me and want to kill me for what i just did to you, sigh, work messes with my head sometimes (Erik: All the time) Thanks Erik. I'm doing Biology, CHemistry, Psychology, English, Further Maths (for veggies) Literature by Corrospondance, RE (catholic school) and i did History last year. Incidentally, this phic was started mid exam week, I was the only year 12 with 3 exams the GAT and a SAC in one week, not fair! I want to be an Archeologist and a writer.

Angelicflutist: No I want to do the costume, just gimme a coupla days k?

Emma Noble: I am an insomniac, I rarely sleep at night, I'm very much a late to bed late to rise Theatre hours girl. At the moment I'm averaging about 6 hours per night, plus an hour of refusing to get up in the morning because my house is 130 odd years old…137 to be exact, I think…Hang on! That means my house was built the year of the Phantom of the Opera! (Erik: and you wonder why I reside here. Authoress: I never gave it that much thought darling heart) Wow…revelation…that's cool. "Aint no nothing we cant love each other through" "Aint nonothing we cant...thats a quadruple negative! Well done!"Sorry, tripod moment there. Erik says hello and has a hug waiting for you when you join the website. Yeah, I'm a size 14 and i live for being a big girl!

Blaze: (Erik):My dear reader this woman is the queen of updating! Havent you noticed she cannot seem to keep her fingers from the keyboard, or her pen from the back of her chemistry book? On that note, updates will arive shortly

The Mega Doomer: (Snatches brownie) Mone! Sugar! The sweetness belongs to me! Withdrawals are bad, been stumbling round like a zombie without it. Ive only been skiing once, whe i was in America for 6 months and i did a full 360 over a fence, the ski patrol came up on the scooter thing with the lights flashing and everything! Anyway...i ramble...need sleep...off to bed

Nightshadesister-01: Torture torture! Hee hee! I'm doing Lit too! Year 12, which is where the Bel Canto reference came from. You got excused from class for that? Man wish i could do that! OMG!

And i want to see Dracula 2000! Now!
