It's got lots of new facets and it's faster, fastest, fasterest!

Through the efforts, mostly of Piper, Stardust is back. :)

Sapphire and I helped but everyone should give Piper a nice round of applause.

Bob Arnold, the founder of Stardust R Us, died earlier this month and his websites were just brought back up early on Saturday morning, July 16. A rescue effort is under way to be sure that these sites continue to be available for readers and contributors to continue Bob's interest in providing a place for quality TG fiction. Bob's family is behind this effort and we will be moving Stardust to new servers, probably within a month.

About three months ago, Bob passed the administration of Stardust to me, Joyce Melton (aka Erin Halfelven), in part because his failing health was sapping his energy and he had numerous other projects to take up his time. Stardust's editorial policies will continue the same because Bob asked me to keep them up.

Bob's kindness, wisdom, gentleness, wit and skill will be missed but I hope that everyone that comes to Stardust will continue to enjoy his vision of a safe and friendly website.

Just a note to say how much I like the return to the original stardusty look. :)

Hugs,
Erin

People who have been seeing news about the fires in the LA area should be reassured that I am in no danger, the big fire is 40 miles away and going up the wrong mountain. Smaller closer fires are not a threat either at this time. However...

FM server is down, no news on when it may be fixed.

Seems like this keeps happening everytime we get a hot spell. Maybe they should keep the server inside with the air conditioning.

Urk,

Either Bob or I, or both, will be in the BigCloset/Stardust chat room this Tuesday evening, November 7, 2006. Planned topic is the future of TG websites. We'll probably schedule another one for Sat or Sun next weekend for people who couldn't be at this one, like most people in Britain and Europe.

Hope to see you there! Here's the link to the chatroom if you can't find it in the top menu: BigCloset/Stardust Chat. It's Java-based chat so you need to have Java turned on in your browser or use an IRC client per the instructions there.
