I think they are awesome but they difficult to find I had to order them from America but it was so worth it. :-D Sammiee Mshellfire, have you read the dark angel books they fill in some of the spaces that the tv series didn’t get to.

As for not being able to access the forum properly... For a long time I had issues with accessing many of the pages (it was just incredibly slow-loading when we still had dial-up) and sometimes the discussion thread would start loading a full page advert instead. Grr. The downside of having the forum hosted for free with a 3rd party. I once thought about hosting the forum here at tbw.org but I'm not sure anyone else from the forum were keen to leave their long-term TBW forum with all of its 'history'. Understandably... Any way, thanks for the feedback! Keep it coming :) That’s a cool idea mshellfire, maybe I need to put a page in place where people can contribute their ideas? :)

I also have a request, can anyone tell me where to find Zeke's "Contingency Plan"? I found the first three chapters on The Broken World and would like to read the rest.

Dark Angel: Reflections for a Broken World is one and Post-Pulse is another. While I agree that many have lost interest in this fandom, I guess all I can say is the real fans are the ones that stay on and try to relive the memories. FanFicion.Net is AWESOME for DA fic...

Through one site and another and a few more clicks I ended up on fanfiction.net and I never left. It was like a whole new world. A world full of possibilites. I found about fanfiction and forums and with forums came chats and it was like magic. It was fun and amazing that something like a " fandom" exists and can have so much impact on a person. There were some great times, I will always remember. Now a few years later it is hard to move on, something keeps pulling me back, mostly for the fanfics that are still coming. The chatting faded, the forums got empty. Finally I realised that the Dark Angel fandom for me, is like shoes, first you are completely happy you found them, then you just can't put them aside and in the end you know it's still there but you move on the new ones but somehow still can't throw the old ones away. I miss it, I find it hard to find people leaving and moving on and just dissapearing. So through time I decided that I will keep on reading fanfiction (they are my drugs) but I will not get active in another forum or fandom. Still I can't help myself from logging in to a few forums now and then, just to see if maybe someone is still there. I keep loggng in to MSN to find no-one is ever there anymore. Still I managed to keep in contact with a few online friends, we don't talk often (or at least not as often I would wish) but it's nice to catch up even if Dark Angel isn't even mentioned anymore. It's nice to have friends all over the world. The pas half hour i was clicking my old links to see which ones still work and lots don't or noone has been there in a long time. That's how I came across this blog entry on fandom. Overall my Dark Angel fandom period, was a good experience. One I will never forget. Astra ps my emailadress is still the same! <em>Admin's note: Hey As! The DA fandom is like a comfortable old shoe...
