Greetings, my cousins! Hope y'all remembered
not to offer Barnabas any hot cross buns at your Easter banquets.
For those here who don't know me (probably plenty, I haven't posted much yet), my name is Marian and I'm a cousin from Southern California. Recently put "AKA" in my username because there's a nice lady whose
real name is Laura and I didn't want to confuse anyone.
I'm a bohemian-type housewife with off-beat tastes and I enjoy laughing and sharing my innocent passions like my love for classic movies and celebrities and television shows. Consequently I've been working on fansites for my favorite actors for a couple of years now, and started my television section project with..."Dark Shadows"!
My sites tend to be pretty link-heavy since that kind of research is my strong suit (with bells and whistles and froufrou being my weak link) and fans seem to like sites that provide cyber-roadmaps to other similar sites of interest.
Needless to say my research on the "Dark Shadows" project kept me pretty busy. (Link research on my project led me to this board, as it happens, with the encouragement of the lovely and gracious ProfStokes, a hostess with the mostes'!) Thought it may be a good idea in this close-knit community to "make my bones" here by finishing the project and presenting it to you all for your review and hopefully your entertainment!
The kindly Mysterious Benefactor here assured me that plugs for "Dark Shadows" fansites - even a shameless one that promotes my own work - are all good to go for new threads, so here's mine!
Lots of links, plus links to my own silly little mini-bios on some of the characters and photo pages. (Most photos courtesy of a process I call "GhettoScoping", wherein I focus my digital camera at the TV screen, pause the DVD when I find a good still, and then CLICK! A little touch-up in PaintShopPro and they're okay to go. Not the greatest of quality, but then I'm a fansite creator, not a photographer!)
Glad to have this opportunity to introduce myself to all of you and also to contribute to the presence of "Dark Shadows" fans on the Internet!

Looking forward to getting to know you all better!
Peace out, cousins!
