Okay, I'm out of here. See you in the next Bronze life and thanks. This was the first site I visited well before I even met Joss or David when I was looking for info on Buffy, and ending up here all red and vip-y has been smashing.

Megan, our first episode started prepping this very day. eight days of prep, eight days or shooting. We're back, baby.

Yes, a long and extended Numfar arc would be great. Not only can the guy dance, he writes amazing songs.

I command you all to join Fury's Fanatics. I mean, if you want to, that is. The web addy is timminear.net

How was that?

A Cordy/Angel romance? Wanda again?

How are they going to bring Buffy back? I dunno. But Marti does. What was the purpose of going to Pylea? To rescue Cordy. Also, something way cuter than those books came back and it's a Fred.

Informant -- the spec script is a sample *for* the agent to use. The way you get your spec script to an agent is to have someone who knows the agent pass it along. I know it sounds like a closed circle, but it's not so much as you might think. Not if your spec script kicks ass as it should.

Narrator -- clearly not all lawyers are evil. Some are simply morally ambiguous.

The Wolf, Ram and Hart books did not make it back to this dimension. Though I believe props has them.

RooCH, you write and direct prospectives? Cool. No advice on that. But if you want to write television, you need to pen a spec script of a well-thought-of show. Get ahold of scripts from your favorite show, see how they do it, then you do it and use it.

(Mon Jul 9 22:02:19 2001 172.160.169.249)
Regarding recurring characters that have appeared on both shows -- we get Angel, Wesley and Cordy for sure. Faith nor Harmony are sked at the moment. But there's always hope. Of course, we own Numfar.

Will there be a freak boating accident on Angel this year? You're half right! And as for Wanda -- I already read a bogus spoiler from her.

In Angel Season Three there will be villians and monsters and vampires and lawyers and goats. Oh, my.

Oh, and should you join the Minearketeers? I generally don't whore for a website that has my name in there -- but Kristen makes a GREAT website and you should at least visit it. Because... I mean... she's so boss. Not because it's, well, all about, I mean, me. For instance.

Gee, you don't sound all that critical, Critical Guy. General hints? Hell, I'm still logging onto Aintitcool to find out what episode I'm supposed to writing at the moment. If I wait long enough, they'll do all the work for me. Hi, Kristen!

Aussie -- Rowan Atkinson (my pick for anything, actually). James, brilliant website. Geez. They finally colorize my name, then they explode the board. And how did Scaott Muriphy get color so fast? He hasn't even had a freakin' ep produced yet! (see, if ya spell it wrong, black and white...) hi, Scott.

Oh, and David Fury already has a big wet sloppy one. Or so it's been rumored.

Thanks, Allyson.

I have no first hand info on when and where the new board will be. But I know that there has been talk for some time of making sure there was one, so I'm sure it's in some capable hands.

DB, hints? What sort of hints?

Tim Minear says:
(Mon Jul 9 21:31:25 2001 172.160.169.249)
I'll stick with writing scripts for Angel, let someone who knows what they're doing create the new site.

Tim Minear says:
(Mon Jul 9 21:29:56 2001 172.160.169.249)
Sad? Yeah, a bit. It's the end of an age. But the Bronzers aren't going anywhere, except to where the new site ends up.

(Mon Jul 9 21:27:02 2001 172.160.169.249)
Hell, I dunno if this code will work, but I suppose at this point it hardly matters. We all know that the web ain't going away and the Bronze

like a certain slayer, will rise again. And that's not a spoiler 'cos Joss already said so.

LW--I'm glad I waited long enough to see you.

Likely my last post at the origina Bronze, ladies and gents. It's been real.

A final thought to leave you with, as you go off in search of other things to occupy your minds until such time as we all meet again. It's a quote from Tolkien.

"Not all who wander are lost."

Actually, Pol, in a situation like this, I'd say anarchy rules. Screw the four posts an hour rule, family board niceties. Go directly to looting and pillaging, do not pass go, do not collect $200. But, then again, since I'm always on my best behavior, I'd never actually recommend such a course of action. Just, y'know, point out the possibilities. (In high school, I was a notorious instigator).

Kristen, there's gotta be a whole grammatical rewards system based on this now. I'm thinking, okay, you got an article. I'd like a preposition. Like "during." During is a good word. During Golden. Hmm. Not sure that's working now. Guess the system doesn't work for everyone. :) Let's try it on Polgara. She gets a preposition too. HOw about "Down" Polgara. Hmm. That'd be handy when she whips out the cuffs.

Thanks to all for the kind words. Just sort of focusing on the dreadful news, though.

Thoin--actually, y'know, I'm kinda thinkin' the last post oughta be something like: The Bronze. It saved the world. A lot.

(Mon Jul 9 20:03:37 2001 38.32.79.165)
Pol! Hey, I was a little busy, as Ozlady can attest (get your mind out of the gutter). But at least I didn't have to clean up Claris's dog's poop.

And . . . can someone tell me why Kristen has an article in front of her name? :)

Thanks everyone. Kind of just popping in here. Sorry I have no idea what's going to happen next, but I am certain there WILL be another site, probably soon.

Meanwhile, though, I'd also like to offer sanctuary to everyone at my message board (threaded, sorry to say) "No Rest For the Wicked" at www.christophergolden.com

Feel free to coopt the space and go on about your business until such time as the Bronze lives again.

:)

Hey all. Just wanted to stop by and say au revoir to the Bronze. See you all again when it resurfaces elsewhere.
