January 31, 2005   -   [Sasha]   -  Complaint emails and how we deal with them...

We appreciate the fact that people email us regarding the site.  In fact, people email too often about the site.  A couple things need to change.

1. emailing us about 'missing' Impetuous chapters.  They simply don't exist.  I will put a warning on the fic pages to let people know that those chapters have not been posted yet.  This warning will be clear and easy to read, so if you DO decide to send us an email complaining about the chapters, we WILL ignore you.

2. the site not being viewable in Moz/Opera.  To put it bluntly, the majority of people who visit the site still use IE-- even WE use IE.  Neither of us has the time to make a Moz/Opera-friendly site, so you'll have to go without.  Besides, the main point of the site is to READ fics, not look at pictures.

That being said, the fic pages are now updated.  You have been warned!  [insert evil laughter here]


October 31, 2004   -   [Sasha]   -  In regards to visitor's inability to view the site graphics in Mozilla and Opera...

I have fixed the stylesheets and changed the images to .GIF files.  Hopefully Opera and Mozilla users will be able to view the site.  If not, switch to IE.

Added a guestbook. I may update with ficage this weekend. 'Cept it'll be New!Fic *sighs*

Also, should I be updating this main page daily, or are you guys only reading this site weekly... less... lemme know!


October 27, 2004   -   [Hang Nga]   -   Site feedback, tagboard, and Impetuous part II in the works

I have most of the pages set up. Things are best seen in Internet Explorer, okay in Netscape and horrid in Moz/Opera... Technical stuff [I think the png background graphic is giving these browsers the heebie jeebies ^_^ and so I'll talk to Sasha to see if we can switch to jpg without losing too much quality. There will still be some html and javascripts on this site that only work with IE, although I'll stick to things that degrade well with other browsers.]

Sasha and I are waiting right by our computers for your feedback, especially during this initial opening of my new site. We want to know what you love and what you hate, so we can get things running smoothly soon! Thanks in advance for taking the time to tell us your thoughts. For quick shoutouts there is the tagboard (navigation to left) and for longer feedback, email, available at through contact at the left.

New Impetuous is in the works. I also have begun Impetuous, part two... a sister fic of sorts, with a great plot twist ^_^ There are more chapter links for Impetuous than chapters available to read. It was just easier for us to code that way... but, sadly, those chapters aren't ready yet... Spiked Beginnings isn't posted yet, although it's still available on my old site.


October 24, 2004   -   [Hang Nga]   -   Welcome to Spiked Tales

New site, baby! Mucho credit goes to essie07 (Sasha) for all the coding work and the graphics. Check me out now: flash, splash, frames, php and a simply gorgeous custom layout. *is so proud, so happy* I'll keep the old site up for now, but don't expect it to be updated. Stacy has warmly welcomed me -squishes sugar mummy- and I'm more than happy to leave geocities behind.

Now, if we can keep those reviews and the tagboard going, I think I might be able to rev my muse up to write some more chappies... What has it been since the last Impetuous chapter? 3 months? *gasp* I know, I know *hangs head, shamefully* but seriously guys, I've been busy. Ask Stacy *points mob towards Stacy and runs* 

Er, I've won some awards since I last update... thanks for voting for me guys! The newest pretties are up on the award page.

okay, time to write more ficage...

*squishes*
