*smiles* I finally get a chance to update this site ^_^. I've added eighty images for Chang Wufei. Check them out in the GWing area. I think I'll be able to screencapture another CCS episode tonight. I'll see if I have time. Last day of June!

6.30.01 ~ Sakura
Since all the members of "The Shrine" are on vacation, I'll be helping to maintain their site until they return. Oh, my...This will be the fifth site I need to maintain o_O. I'm going to have a really busy summer...not to mention I have to work, take extra classes, make my cosplay costume, write fanfics, draw fanart, maybe start driving lessons, take piano...why am I writing all this? *grumbles* How can this be called summer break?

6.29.01 ~ Sakura
Our first sibling site! Check out Sparking Stars, an S + S shrine!

6.29.01 ~ Sakura
Here's the current updates for today:
1. Main Area: 45 new midis, "Fonts" page in BBAMS.
2. Digi Area: Quotes, YKYOWDW.
3. GWing Area: 100 Quatre pics.
4. Links Area: Star Wars (A, S).

6.29.01 ~ Sakura
Episode sixty-nine of CCS, "Sakura and the Reappearance of Clow Reed", has been screencaptured ^_^. If you're looking for S + S moments, this episode has tons! Merely because Syaoran admits his feelings at the very end...and Sakura never realized it until then *sweatdrops*. I never noticed until I watched this episode about the pronounciation of Clow Reed's first name. In the CC version, they pronounce it Clow, rhyming with the word cow. The proper pronounciation of Clow rhymes with glow.

6.28.01 ~ Sakura
We posted a little form to be used on Digimon submissions like quotes and stuff. It's easy to use! ^_^ I posted eighty images for Trowa in the GWing area, and added one new fic each to the Digimon and CCS fic sections. Also, a new CC dialogue has been posted; "The Switch". I have two episode dialogues by Cece for GWing sitting in my computer and I'll try to get them up soon.

6.28.01 ~ Sakura
Here's a quick update for now. Our affiliate, Videl-chan from Digimon Spirit, has made us the cutest button to be used to link to our site! Check it out in the "Link to Us" page! Thanks Videl-chan! =) Pc Gurl scanned a bunch of selected images from the CCS manga eleven and twelve (all those wasted bookmarks, ne, Pc Gurl? ^_~) and maybe I'll edit them a bit and post them. Maybe. Also, expect a picture update - and more - later today! Hmm...why do I feel like I'm the only one updating here? o_O

6.27.01 ~ Sakura
This might be my last pic update for today. I have some fics I want to work on and I'm also writing the dialogue for the first CCS movie. There's eighty images in the GWing area; sixty for Duo and twenty for Heero.

6.27.01 ~ Sakura
Here's a big treat for all CCS fans! I was getting ready to screencapture episode 60 of CCS when I realized...I had begun screencapturing episode 59 instead! I finished screencapturing that episode and went on to do episode 60. So...*smiles* we have eighty screenshots each for CCS episode 60 and 59.

6.26.01 ~ Sakura
Finally...our GWing galleries are starting to return. I just posted a hundred images for Heero. Expect more soon.

6.26.01 ~ Sakura
I have been severely infected with the Cosplay bug...I want to make a costume and wear it to CN Anime 2001 in August! Crazy idea, huh? I thought it might actually be kind of fun to do...I'm considering cosplaying Li Yelan from CCS. Most characters I want to cosplay have bangs...I don't! And Yelan looks pretty cool so I want to try it! Okay, this was a pointless "update"...if it can even be called that...Anyone else planning to go? It's in downtown Toronto, Canada, from August 24 - 26.

6.25.01 ~ Sakura
Here's a nice fan fic update!
1. CCS fics: "The Guiding Star: Chapter Five" by yours truly ^_^, "To Catch You" by Ina-chan, "Love Lasts...Forever" by CardcaptorMisty.
2. FY fics: "Where is Love?" by Stormlight.
Okay...so it's not much...-_-

6.25.01 ~ Sakura
I have a lot of e-mail to catch up on so if you haven't received a reply from me yet, sorry! Not much in terms of updates. At the moment, I'm working on "The Guiding Star" (I was working on "The New Cards", but then I got writer's block...). *sighs* I was at work for twelve hours yesterday...straight! I'm tired...=( Luckily, I get a day-off today but I have to clean my room...*sweatdrops and stares at the mess, mostly school papers* Um, is there a Sakura Card that can clean up huge messes?

6.24.01 ~ Sakura
I don't normally write news but here's something I learned when I was at the CCS forum from FF.N. It's all about CC's second season. The Cardcaptors adventures continue in season two as 10-year-old Sakura and her mystical classmate Li now must learn to manage the magical Clow cards. As "Master of the Clow cards," Sakura must face her destiny by making each card her own "Star Card" in order to continue the centuries-old line of magic…and to keep the legacy of the Clow cards alive! With the help of Kero, who has returned to his true form - a lion with wings, Sakura and Li race against time as they assign each card a specific purpose before hundreds of years of magic are destroyed. In the meantime, strange disturbances are creating havoc in town and a new transfer student, Eli Moon, has a hidden agenda which will drastically affect the Cardcaptors' fate. There was also this. Sakura, now recognized as a Master of the Clow Cards, will meet a surprising stranger who will introduce her to a new world of adventure. With the help of her friends and guardians, Sakura will discover that her greatest challenge still awaits her. She'll attempt to master transformations and incantations, all with one goal in mind -- to defeat the greatest wizard of all time! *sighs* Eriol is...Eli Moon *shudders*. I thank PC Gurl, Apple, Mariah's Lamby, and ~Anne~ a million times over for giving me the CCS third season. By the way, the above news is directly from Toon Zone.

6.24.01 ~ Sakura
I'm so sorry for not updating at all yesterday! *glares at all staff except Rinoa (she has an exam to prepare for)* And where were all of you? *sighs* Don't mind me. I'm just a little tired. *yawns* I'm just kidding anyway. Take your time, everyone! (Though, with that kind of attitude, it's a wonder we get anything done, ne? ^_^) I finally finished our first Fushigi Yuugi tribute! ...okay, not "finished", but nearly. The "Opinions" page is still under construction. Check it out, but be forewarned; there are a lot of spoilers about Nuriko. If you don't want to see them, stay away from the Tribute section. I also updated the Gifts section (both from us and to us) and I added a new page to the BBAMS section caled "Layouts". As you can see, we have a new pic of the week. Asuka and Shinji from Evangelion. I don't know why they're blushing, though. Expect another update later.

6.22.01 ~ Sakura
I've spent all day working on my fanfics and I'm still not done any of the chapters. *sighs* I've been spending way too much time at FF.N's CCS Message Board. I actually had a day off from work today so I was pretty happy about it. We've received an award from "Sakura Tree" (thank you so much; it's beautiful! ^_^) and I finally updated the Affiliates page. I'm going to go back and try to finish chapter fifteen of "The New Cards". I'm only half-done...

6.21.01 ~ Sakura
I completely agree with you, Rinoa...MATH IS EVIL!! *sighs* I just know I failed that exam...Anyway, *smiles* no more school for me! Pc Gurl and Rinoa are almost done; just a few (one or two) more days left for them. The second chapter to the digi fic "Misunderstandings" is up. Also, happy at the fact that school is over (goodbye grade ten!), I screencaptured episode sixty-six of CCS, "Sakura's Most Important Person". I just love that episode ^_^. As usual, I went overboard and screencaptured more than 130 images...*sighs* It's so hard choosing 80 good ones...There's so many o_O. Also, I better go catch up on my e-mail, ne?

6.20.01 ~ Sakura
Oh...three, Rinoa? Math, Civics, and...? French? That can't be too bad...right? o_O *sighs* I'll snap if I see another parabola...at least trig isn't so hard. This exam better have a lot of trig in it!

6.20.01 ~ Rinoa
*growls in frustration* MATH IS EVIL!!! -_-* so I don't like numbers... anyone share my pain? And to follow up on Sakura's message, I actually have three (count 'em, three) exams left! I'm gonna die by the end of the week! Er... I don't exactly have any updates to report, 'cept that I found the translation to the Japanese version of SM's opening song, so I'll be posting that up soon. That is, if I make it through exams...-_-*

6.20.01 ~ Sakura
Yay! One exam down...one to go!! =) *turns and sees Pc Gurl and Rinoa glaring at her; sweatdrops* Okay...nevermind...some of us have two exams left...^_^*

6.19.01 ~ Sakura
*extremely frustrated* Science exam tomorrow! Aah! Good luck, Pc Gurl, Rinoa, and anyone else with exams still!

6.19.01 ~ Sakura
It's so silly of me...how could I forget? For all of the new Sailormoon midis posted, thanks goes to our affiliate, Artemis. She took the time to zip them and give us the titles and everything in a very long e-mail. Thank you, Artemis!

6.18.01 ~ Sakura

1. Main Area: BBAMS (button) for Cece, 9 new midis, plus names, Staff.
2. Digi Fan Fics: "One Light: Part Two" by Demi-Chan.

*sighs* I was supposed to be studying...

6.17.01 ~ Sakura
We joined a new network called "Chi-Chi". No, it's not DragonBall's Chi-Chi; it's a Chinese word romanized. PC Gurl should know this one! *smiles* I think we use it a little too often. Sorry there aren't many updates. I spent all day making a website for a friend. The new pic of the week is up, at least. I thought it was pretty cute though that probably would've been good for Easter. Also, today's our affiliate's, Qinwin Chen, birthday! Happy birthday, CQW! Visit her site and wish her a happy birthday!

6.16.01 ~ Sakura
I finally changed the affiliates page. I was getting a little fed up with the problems we had with some of the affiliates so we're starting over. *sighs* I'm in such a bad mood...all those exams...

6.15.01 ~ Sakura
I updated the BBAMS section again (also known as the "Graphics Corner"). Takato Matsuda, Sakura Kinomoto (no, not me ^_~), the status of your graphic has been posted on the "Status" page of the BBAMS section. Check it out from time to time to see when your graphic is ready to be picked up. Meaning, graphics won't be e-mailed anymore. Just have to pick it up there when it's done =).

6.14.01 ~ Sakura
I did say I would redo the BBAMS section, right? So I did. ^_^ At the moment, requests are put on hold until a) I get the page ready and b) I finish my History homework. I'll probably be accepting requests tomorrow night and if you already requested something, check out the BBAMS section tomorrow to find out about the status of your graphic.

6.14.01 ~ Sakura
I had an idea for a new fic and I just started it! I've never seen it done yet (maybe it has been done, but I don't know) and I'm trying to make this as unique as possible. For the first time in a long time, I started writing a Digimon fic. It's posted in that section, titled "Misunderstandings". Summary: "Ever wondered why Takeru and Hikari never married each other? Here's my take on what happened...and what happens after. Takari? Maybe..." Check it out and let me know what you think of it. ^_^ As soon as exams are over, I promise to write the next chapters to my two CCS fics and my two Digimon fics. Also, I'll start all those fics I have ideas for. I love to write but I've just been so busy...

6.13.01 ~ Sakura
Here's the first pic update this week! Seventy new images have been added to the Fushigi Yuugi area. Check out Chichiri and Tasuki's pages! ^_^ Okay, now it's back to homework...o_O

6.13.01 ~ Rinoa
I see Sakura beat me to updating today! ^-^ I've just put up Minako's (Sailor Venus') profile! Don't have much time to do anything but that, thanks to the programs and projects all due in TWO days!!! AHH -_-* I really hate the end of the school year...If only it could all be over and summer vacation was here...*sighs* oh well...got to go do those projects now...

6.13.01 ~ Sakura
I don't want to start my homework...I've got one more project left, but one big homework assignment and tons of studying to do, as well! o_O
1. Main Area: Gifts from Us, Midis = 23! I don't have anymore left...
2. Digimon Fan Fics: "Enemies from Old Friends: Part Nine" by Amara and Hika, "Angelwings" by Jazz, "One Light" by...unknown.
3. Digimon Area: Takari Shrine - banners.
4. Links Area: Animé (A, C, F - H, J, K, M, O, S, V)
Gee...we really need an image update. I'll try to make one tonight after I finish my essay. No promises, though.

6.12.01 ~ Sakura
I'm feeling a little depressed right now...I'm really worried about one of my friends...Anyway, I updated the Songs page again with forty-three midis.

6.11.01 ~ Sakura
Our song page is beginning to return! I just uploaded fifty-four midis for it! (Remember how all the midis were deleted along with a couple thousand images?) I re-organized the whole section and I think it's easier to browse through now. Also, the CC summary for "One Fateful Day" is up. I think I'll work on re-organizing the BBAMS section...as soon as I finish three of my school projects! o_O

6.10.01 ~ Sakura
While taking a short break from working on my school projects, I put together the new pic of the week. Originally they were two separate pics. But since they were similar...The new pic of the week features Chichiri, a Suzaku Seishi from Fushigi Yuugi! In these two pics, Chichiri has changed his look and pretends to be someone else. In the left side, he's pretending to be Hotohori. In the right side, he's pretending to be Nakago. They're both in SD (super-deformed). Kawaii no da!! ^_^

6.9.01 ~ Sakura
Here's a really quick update. Our affiliate, "Lost Anime Station" is back! ^_^ They're now known as the "DigiStation". We're really glad to have them back! =)

6.9.01 ~ Sakura
School has been crazy...*sighs* I have just as much work as you, PC Gurl ^_^...*dreads upcoming exams* We have two new affiliates; DBZ Fangirl and Digimon Tamers. Also, thanks for 45000+ hits! I guess you've already seen the new thank you pic (if you entered through the index page). I've gotten sort of "obsessed" with Fushigi Yuugi lately...*points at PC Gurl and Steph* it's their fault! ^_~ So the pic has Nuriko and Miaka shopping. They didn't actually do this; Nuriko was just thinking...I won't spoil it for Rinoa (who has finished watching FY) so I'll just end that comment there...

6.8.01 ~ PC Gurl
Hey! I've just put up Van's and Allen's profiles in the Escaflowne section. And I've also made some tiny, little changes in Hitomi's profile. So...take a look if u wish. =) Uh-huh...I know, I haven't updated for a llloooonnnnnggggg time. But skool has been crazy this few weeks with all the assignments due and with exams coming up... @-@ (excuses, excuses... *shake head*)

6.8.01 ~ Sakura
New screenshots are up! ^_^ For the last two days, I've been working on a few projects and unable to update. To make up for it, I just screencaptured images from CCS episode 57. "Sakura, Syaoran, and the Elevator"; one of my favourite episodes, too ^_^. There are eighty pics in all (originally, I went overboard and screencaptured 130+ o_O), so see them here. Also updated the staff page with Hika's profile and the Digimon fan fics with chapter nine to "Enemies from Old Friends" (Amara and Hika) and "TentoTroubles" (ButtercupL13).

6.6.01 ~ Rinoa
I've finally done some work on this page! hehehe...okai, I've put up profiles for Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Jupiter. I'm not done, but at least I got something done, right? -_-' Now, back to that *extremely* high stack of homework....*grumbles*

6.5.01 ~ Sakura
This will be the only other update I can make today. I'm really, really busy. We have our first Card Captors episode dialogue! (The other one is the second movie dialogue for CCS.) It's for "Sakura's Rival". This was done by Amara, one of our newest part-time staff members! The other part-time member is Hika Yagami. You may remember that these two happen to be our biggest fan fic submitters ^_^. You can find their profiles in the "Staff" page.

6.5.01 ~ Sakura
I'll try making another update when I go home (I'm at school now), but for now, here's a little update. Notice our new top banner? *smiles* I thought it was about time I changed it. After seeing so many animé characters with wings, I wanted to make something with that. (Did you notice "version: Wings"? ^_~) We now have two part-time members of the team but I'll make an announcement about it when I go home.

6.4.01 ~ Sakura
Yesterday's CC episode was called "Under the Weather" (CCS: "Sakura's Dizzy Day of Fever"). I'll admit it wasn't that bad...the only thing I didn't like were the voices...compared to CCS, they're horrible! But all in all, not too bad...I know I've seen that scene between the Mirror Card and Touya before (about the medicine)...but I just can't remember where...*yawns* I'm really tired...sleep sounds good right about now ^_^.

6.3.01 ~ Sakura
Picture update. In the Fushigi Yuugi Area, 25 images have been added for Hotohori and 40 for Nuriko.

6.3.01 ~ Sakura
Time for a bit of a celebration. ^_^ (That's why I chose that GW pic as pic of the week.) After nearly a month, I finished another chapter to "The New Cards" (CCS fan fics) and...I've added eighty screencaptures from CCS episode 70: "Sakura and Her True Feelings". Check them out right now! Also, the Digimon Poll, "Which season of Digimon do you think is the best?", is finished. Here are the results:
1. Season Two: 54%
2. Season One: 30%
3. Season Three: 16%

6.2.01 ~ Sakura
We have two new affiliates: Sakura Tree and The Goddess Guide =). As well, there's a new page in the Main Area called "Japanese". We just compiled a list of Japanese words we know and their translations. PC Gurl and I are taking a Japanese course starting September and we can always update that as we learn ^_^. Still, my Japanese is very poor...But I can always learn, right? =)

6.2.01 ~ Sakura
Just an itty bitty update since it's 2 am. I updated the "Gifts" section and I'll be updating the Affiliates page tomorrow...I mean later...o_O Most likely in the afternoon or evening. *sighs* I need more sleep...and I don't even get to sleep in...then why am I still up? Even I don't know...

6.1.01 ~ Sakura
When I said "today" earlier, I meant 12 am in the morning. *sighs* Yeah, I know; I'm up too late =Ţ. Well, in the afternoon, I spent a few hours screencapturing images from episode 70 of CCS, since that got the most votes (check out the CCS Episodes page to vote). I accidentally overdid it and ended up with 119 images. *sweatdrops* It's been cut to 80 now, but that's still too many. I can't post them until I find out the exact number of images per episode that can be used. I agreed with PC Gurl about it earlier; a certain number, no more, no less. But I forgot the number...o_O It was either 40 or 60...The quality of the screencaptures are great...but they're bitmaps. Since I have to change them to jpegs, there might be a loss of quality. But they're still good!

6.1.01 ~ Sakura
I spent most of today looking to see if anymore images were missing and other behind the scenes stuff. I spent the other part of the day finishing Steph's Fushigi Yuugi tapes ^_^. Also updated the Fushigi Yuugi quotes. I'm still in the process of editing images to replace what was lost. It could take a while. After I finish checking through the Digimon section (I accidentally deleted a lot of pages that I still needed o_O oops...), the image stats will be back. It's about 7000 now...=( *sighs* But I promise I'll work hard to bring it back to 9000 and maybe even exceed 10000! I know PC Gurl has a lot of Escaflowne screenshots she's going to post soon (as soon as I find time to help her out ^_~).
