Because Claire’s birthday is tomorrow and I only got a couple of entries for the birthday project, besides my own, I am gonna have to postpone it, which means, it’s not cancelled, we just won’t have time to send it before her big day. I know I had the idea too late and I didn’t have much time to dedicate to this project, but I hope everyone understands that this is a huge site and sometimes it becomes difficult for me to do everything alone. I try to cope with everything, but there’s real life, I work full time and I have other duties, so I am sorry if I can’t be here 24/7 but I certainly am doing my best to keep the site alive and up to date.
So you guys CAN and should send me your messages and gifts to Claire. As I said some months ago, I am in talks with her publicist, I got some contacts and I am trying to talk to the right people to make sure all our messages will end in Claire’s hands.
I am also going to have Easter break’s from work starting next week, which will give me some time to work on the site, put everything up to date and hopefully catch up with her news and do everything that needs to be done. We definitely need a layout, but I don’t have time to design it myself and I cannot afford to pay 25$ for one, but I’m sure, if everyone contributed a single 1$ it would be easy for all and we’d get a pretty new layout.
All the money I get from donations goes for the site. I DO NOT use it for my own, I use it to buy accounts, designs, magazines, things we need for the site. On the other hand, I have put a lot of my own money in this site and I don’t ask for anything in return, just gratitude from our visitors.
Sorry for the long speech but I needed to let it out. Some people think it’s easy to run a fansite but it’s not. It costs time and money, and requires lots of love and effort.
Anyway I have said all I had to say, if anyone wants to help fine, any help is accepted.
