You may not know this unless you knew me from the Quake days but I have always treated websites that I have worked on as if they were my own kids (maybe it’s because I don’t have any kids?). I am sure some people can relate to what I am saying but when you create something and you nurture it, you tend to have that sense of feeling as if it’s something you really love. I often called quake3world.com my baby to even the id Software guys and they knew I took care of that site as if it was because I lived, breathed and even dreamt about it while I was the Site Director for it. So you can now imagine why I was so happy, because it is MINE and owned by me. ;)
So, since Ladygamers.com hasn’t been a site I have been able to access since October, you can understand why I have been trying to get through over 2,000 emails with news and inquiries about the site. The awesome thing though, I used to publish a feature called Focus of the Month but majority of the time I would have to search to find someone who fit the categories such as; gamer, mod, website, and others. But since I have been going through these emails it is like I now have many of them lined up and waiting for my response, which is a wonderful thing. It does mean that I have a lot of writing I need to do. Not just investigating the person or their website, or mod, but also apologizing for never responding and letting them know the site is back and active again. I am crossing my fingers that some of them that emailed me in October will still be interested. I hate sending late responses to people but we'll see how that goes.
While going through some links in the LadyHunt section (I do this every few months since people either move to new hosts or their websites disappear), I bumped into some really cute Mario Brothers related beadwork at Wonderland.
Some of you know that I recently mentioned that I was getting back into beads. This gives me some ideas with one game I won’t ever stop loving…… oh dear. Quake beads here I come!!!
