1:47 a.m. Hey kids, didja miss me? Sorry I've been missing; I spent the last two weeks or so moving, and we just barely got our internet reactivated or whatever. I've been updating here and there, but could never edit this page! Anyway, there's a new section under Downloads > Audio called "Miscellaneous", it has some neat new stuff. And I added a new video or two. And three articles. But really, you guys have got to do your part and submit your stuff! I'm only one woman, I can't find EVERYTHING... though I do find a lot ;) So help a sista out! In other news, our damn updates mailing list isn't working :( So ummmm tell people I've updated, k? -Anna
12:54 a.m. Added new new videos plus the BRAND NEW iPod Videos section. It's under Fansite> Downloads> iPod Videos, and it is pretty fab if I do say so myself! I wish I could tell you guys about this directly, but I'm having mailing list issues :( Blah! Hopefully I can get that straightened out so that you can all enjoy the vids :) -Anna
May 30, 2007
8:22 p.m. Put up some awesome new videos and a new mp3 download. It's only on the "Recent" page because I can't figure out what category it goes in! LOL! Maybe I'll make a "Misc" page. I also took the VFest videos down. They will be AWESOME when I fix them but for now they don't work for most people :( I'm really sorry if you wasted your time downloading files that wouldn't work. Forgive me? -Anna
May 27, 2007
5:52 p.m. I finally got the lyrics from TBP added... I know, it's only been way over 6 months since the new album came out... Yeah, I suck. -Anna

No no no, I've just been dually busy working behind the scenes on the site (a huge project of more than 40 new videos for your viewing pleasure, coming soon!) AND trying to graduate. Yes, it's true... THIS IS MY LAST QUARTER!!! HAHAHA SUCKAS!!! Sorry :D I just get excited. Anyway! I'm still here. We're kind of in trouble because we didn't raise enough money to cover our server this month, and our host is kind of mad at us. So those videos aren't going up anytime soon, at least not until we pay. BUT in the meantime I've added a ton of new press scans to the Library, and have a fanfic update for this weekend. So all is NOT lost! -Anna
10:15 p.m. Added two new audio files and five new videos to the Downloads section. You'll see that the Audio section has been completely reformatted. With more than 170 individual files available on that page, it was getting pretty cluttered, so I divided it up into different sections. Let me know what you think! If you like it, I'll do the same with the videos page when it comes back. -Anna

1:54 p.m. FINALLY finished uploading all of the Halloween show. Sorry it took me so long to get it up! I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but the original rips that were circulating wouldn't work on my computer, and I don't like posting things I can't test. Luckily, Hayden ripped these for us. ALSO they're about half the size of the original rips, which is nice if your internet is kind of slow. I'll have mp3s made from them up shortly. Enjoy! -Anna

If not, I guess I'll find a place to watch the AOL stream (as all of you who cannot be at the show in person should do). I just added a new video to the Video Downloads page and a new article to the Press Library. I'm also tinkering with some ad code to see if I can keep you guys from having to donate every month :) The ads are all popunders, and set to only happen once an hour, so theoretically they shouldn't be too horrible...

But I'm also back in school so yes, very busy these days. Still, just added a new article to the Press Library and added an entry to the My Chemical Video contest page. Where are the other entries? You guys need to get crackin'... -Anna
12:33 p.m. Can't... type... Laughing... too hard... New article... Press Library... OMFG! -Anna
10:20 a.m. Item one: Sorry I've been MIA, not answering Emails, updating etc. I'm going through a lot of shit at home right now, and it's been taking a lot of time and energy to deal with it.
Item two: I've FINALLY replaced the version of Welcome To The Black Parade that we had up. The new version is MUCH higher quality, so go download it.
Item three: The TIP contests are now CLOSED. However, not all the entries have been added. There are still three or four My Chemical Video entries to add BUT all of those entries were sent in a file format I can't open. The rules clearly state the file types we can accept, and mswmm or whatever isn't one of them. Technically, all of these entries should be DQ'd, but I'm nice :) Here are directions provided by Sammy on how to convert the file. If you had already sent me your entry, you have FIVE DAYS to convert it to a file type I can open and resend it. Otherwise, your entry will be disqualified. So get crackin'!
"Open your movie editing program. Open project. Once the project is open click on file, and then Save Movie File. Pick My Computer, and the rest will just go on it's own."
Good luck! -Anna

I'm a pretty loyal fan myself and I was disappointed by it :( I miss Marc Webb! -Anna

1:07 p.m. Jesus, where has my morning gone? Oh, that's right, it was spent tagging and adding a bunch of recent live photos! Also, the Black Parade that took place in London last week reminded me of that Helena Funeral Procession last year... Remember that? I uploaded a video of the event to the Video Downloads page (under Small Bundles). Does anyone have Andrew Kendall's pictures of it? I remember he took some great ones, but I can't find them anywhere! Let me know. -Anna
12:37 p.m. The bundle is finished uploading... But now the server isn't working so it doesn't do you kids much good. Gahhh! I need a new host, this is bs. When the server gets back up I'll be uploading a ton of new pictures, yay! Also, I just want to send a lot of love out to MCR in general and Bob Bryar in particular. Bob is back in the hospital due to an infection (which is pretty common with burns) and the rest of MCR has elected to cancel their next two dates in order to stay with him. Aw <3 Get well soon! -Anna
11:46 a.m. Hey guys, I'm reuploading the Hammersmith video bundle. To those of you who have already tried to download it, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened, but the upload got stuck after I'd already gone to bed. It seems to be going pretty quickly now. -Anna
6:04 a.m. Okay. It took about 14 hours, but all the graphics on the site should be new and lookin' good now! God, I'm tired. Along with changing all the graphics and updating all the code, I also added a bunch of new videos to the Video Downloads page. One is a "backstage" thing with MCR at the VMAs (listed under Small Bundles) and the others are a Large Bundle from the Hammersmith Palais gig. That bundle is actually going to take another 30 minutes to upload, so don't download it until about 7 a.m. PST, just to be safe!

You can't hear anything really, but the guys look great; the vids are reeeeeeally clear. Enjoy! Oh, also, please Email me to let me know which of the other video bundles you'd like me to cycle in! -Anna
12:43 a.m. Added a new article to the Press Library and moved July's news to the Old News page. -Anna
July 31, 2006
6:05 p.m. Added a fab new wallpaper. Thanks, Danielle! -Anna
1:59 a.m. FINISHED UPDATING THE FANFIC! HA! If you sent in your own coded fanfic any time before tonight, theoretically it should be on the site now. If it's not, please contact me. There were a few stories submitted without the required information so I didn't add those. -Anna
July 30, 2006
11:57 p.m. Added two new mp3s to the Audio Downloads section: MCR on Loveline (I found it again finally!) and Prison live from last year's Warped Tour. Also almost done adding the rest of the fanfics; 10 more to go! -Anna
July 28, 2006
11:59 p.m. Yay, updated the fanfic! I added about 20 stories. If you coded your own fanfic and submitted it before April 16, 2006, it should have gone up tonight. I have 40 more stories to add over the next few days. Now, these stories are only listed under "Recent" and (the finished ones) "Finished". I'm so behind, I'm sorry! But I'll be adding them all under the Title, Author, Category and Rating sections before I add any new ones. Enjoy! -Anna
9:43 p.m. Well things have been slow but they've suddenly gotten a lot more interesting... Remember www.theblackparade.com? There's also an LJ community now, incidentally: The Black Parade. Well now we know that's the name of MCR's first single off the new album! MVWire.com confirms. Shirts are now available for $8 on The Black Parade site, so pick one up while you can! And keep an eye on TIP for all the best info as always. -Anna
July 14, 2006
1:44 a.m. Sources say to keep an eye on this site: www.theblackparade.com. I can neither confirm nor deny whether or not this is a good idea (but it's a good idea). I don't know what our boys have in store for us but it shall be fab... -Anna
July 13, 2006
6:52 p.m. Warped was awesome! I don't have anything new to post :( I DO know the new album is finished or sooo close to finished, so that's nice, but nothing to show for it. Someone send me something awesome to share! <3 you all! -Anna
July 5, 2006
11:05 a.m. Finished uploading a new song; go check it out! For some reason when I try to actually GO to the site, it won't load for me, yet I can access the server and upload things fine... It's really weird :/ -Anna
10:53 a.m. Hey guys, hope your 4th was totally sweet! Mine was quite nice. I just added a new article to the press library, and I'm going to start adding some mp3s
July 3, 2006
1:11 a.m. Added a new article from February 05 to the Press Library. Enjoy! -Anna
July 2, 2006
4:53 p.m. Okay the upload is over and the links are up. So go download. P.S. Dialup sucks! -Anna
4:27 a.m. The upload is about 1/3 of the way complete. How do people survive with this??? It's killing me!!! -Anna
July 1, 2006
11:45 p.m. Moved all of June's news to the "Old News" section. Also, I've begun to upload a bunch of new songs, but thanks to my crappy dialup, it's going to take awhile... -Anna
June 25, 2006
2:32 a.m. FINALLY figured out this Immortality Radio madness!!! Go listen to the new episode. Woohoo! And donate, please. I'm poor and they're going to try to put through an $80 charge in two days and it's going to NOT go through and then TIP goes down. No one wants that! -Anna
June 17, 2006
8:20 p.m. Added a new wallpaper and a new audio download from The String Quartet Tribute to MCR. This has been posted courtesy of Vitamin Records, and I have to say, GO BUY THIS ALBUM. It's definitely worth owning, something nice to listen to when you're in the mood for something "classical. Well, MCR is a future classic!!! I know it's easy to find to download online, but PLEASE don't do that! The guys at Vitamin Records are all big MCR fans, and they're trying to make a go of an awesome small indie label. Don't steal from them. Thanks! -Anna
8:02 p.m. Updated the first few fanfics!!! If you don't see yours up there yet, don't freak out... There are about a million more in the queue. Keep checking over the next week as I promise add more whenever I can. -Anna
4:14 a.m. Three Cheers for a new MyChem tour date :D Courtney was kind enough to give us the heads up that our boys will be playing on September 3rd at the New York State Fair with Taking Back Sunday, The Honorary Title and Say Anything (who are from my hometown, San Diego). That's also the same month the new album is supposed to drop... NEW songs anyone? -Anna
June 15, 2006
11:41 p.m. Extended the dates for the two most recent TIP contests... I never moved them to "Current Contests" so no one ever entered. Um, oops. If you submitted something already, your entry is still valid. We'll hold onto it until the end of the extended submission period. Go enter! -Anna
June 11, 2006
3:05 p.m. Added two new wallpapers, a new video and a new mp3. The video is still uploading, so give it about 20 minutes or so... -Anna
June 7, 2006
4:32 p.m. Added a new wallpaper and press scan. Also fixed the broken images in the Avatars and Icons sections. Added a link to the NEW TIP LJ community, which RubyMermaidGirl is kind enough to admin (since I'm too dumb to figure LJ out. Now I'm going to try to upload a ton of new mp3s but can't guarantee it'll work. My connection BLOWS. -Anna
7:32 p.m. Moved May's news to the Old News page. Added a new article and a new wallpaper. Enjoy! -Anna
May 31, 2006
4:26 p.m. WELL TIP is saved! Yay! Thank you all SO much for your help. In celebration, I've added a new song to the Audio Downloads page. It's a version of Vampires REVERSED. No hidden messages, but it sounds pretty flipping sweet. Enjoy! -Anna
May 23, 2006
4:10 p.m. I added a "Vote!" page to the About section. There you'll find links to vote for TIP on search engines. So, um, vote for us? Thanks! -Anna
May 20, 2006

May 18, 2006
2:07 a.m. Just added two new mp3s, one new article and about 40 new pictures. The pictures aren't in the gallery though, since the gallery doesn't exist. I added them to a blog on the TIP MySpace, which can be found here. Enjoy! -Anna
May 12, 2006
12:16 a.m. Added four new mp3s and a new wallpaper. ALSO, I AM SEEING MCR IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS! JOY! -Anna

2:11 a.m. Added another new design to the TIP store. Yay!
May 7, 2006

May 6, 2006
2:45 a.m. Added the new MCR cover (an acoustic version of GOY). Also switched the Video Bundles around, and added two new designs to the TIP store. Check 'em out by choosing "Merch" from the menu! -Anna

May 5, 2006

May 3, 2006
3:41 p.m. Added five awesome new wallpapers! Enjoy. -Anna
6:59 p.m. Took down the wayyy old radio episode of A Face For Radio and added the new Anarchy From The UK episode. No Face For Radio this week, alas. I still can't figure out that sample rate madness. But the new AFTUK is awesome, so go listen to it! -Anna
1:12 a.m. Added a new interview to the Audio Downloads page. I don't know when or where it's from. Any clue, anyone? -Anna

April 29, 2006
3:59 a.m. Just added two new mp3s to the mp3 Downloads page. These are two songs by Oval Portrait, an Eyeball Records band, to which Gerard contributed some guest vocals. Enjoy! -Anna
April 26, 2006
3:54 p.m. Oh god. This is DEFINITELY the longest TIP has ever gone without an update EVER. I feel horrible. But basically, the gallery is gone and I've been working 8 hours a day to fix it. It's honestly going to take about THREE MONTHS to get everything working again. Gahhhhh. So that's what I've been up to. Added a new live version of vampires today. I also need to announce the Pansies winners. Muahahahah I'm so excited! Please don't lose faith in us, I swear we're working hard for you. -Anna
April 10, 2006
9:51 a.m. Okay added 83 new avatars. Wow. Also, the galleries are down. I don't quite know why, though I have an idea, and if it is what I think it is, it's very bad. I'm working on fixing it right now! -Anna
9:21 a.m. I'm taking advantage of my school's awesome internet to upload a ton of images and things. Also added that unknown press scan. Thanks to everyone who let me know it was from January's Kerrang! -Anna
April 9, 2006
1:39 a.m. Today is the most beautiful of all possible beautiful days... Gerard's birthday! Thank god he came into the world, fer serious. Remember how last year he played two shows in London on his birthday??? I hope he's spending this one with his family and loved ones <3 -Anna
April 8, 2006
1:57 a.m. Added two new press scans! Sorry things have been so slow... They've just been slow :/ -Anna
April 6, 2006
12:53 p.m. Greetings from Bio, and hey, check me out! My internet is working! My school has the best wireless. Anyway. Just added a new fan tattoo to the gallery. If I can get the damn thing to upload, expect a new radio show tonight! -Anna
4:09 p.m. Added a new and very rare live version of Headfirst For Halos to the Audio Downloads page. Also I'm going to go through and re-add a few of the interview mp3s I have that somehow got removed. And I moved the March news to the Old News page.
March 28, 2006
4:21 p.m. Added a section where you can download past radio shows (Radio> Downloads> Podcasts). Sorry the new episode isn't up yet! My recording software is giving me hell, kid. Hopefully it will be working soon, because the new episode is A) Finished and B) Fab! Also I added the Pansies Nominations. Hooray! Because we moved back the date to release the nominations, we'll be announcing the winners on April 10th instead of the 1st. Thanks to everyone who submitted fic, and ESPECIALLY to the judges! -Anna
March 23, 2006
8:06 p.m. Does everyone have LOTMS yet??? It is so fab! Love it! It's awesome. Go buy it.
On that note, thank you so much to everyone who's sent in songs and clips from the DVD/CD. However, I will NOT be posting any of it at this time. I am a fan of MCR, and as I fan I refuse to post things they should by rights be profiting from. I know there are other places you can download things like Desert Song etc. I urge you not to. As fans we owe our allegiance to MCR, and part of that is a responsibility to compensate them fairly for all they do for us. LOTMS is two DVDs and one CD for barely $20. Seriously. Are you going to betray a band you claim to love for so little??? -Anna
March 20, 2006
4:18 a.m. Added three new LOTMS preview clips and a new mp3. Go go go! -Anna
March 19, 2006
2:26 p.m. Fixed the Guitar Legend images. Um, I'm dumb, sorry... -Anna
4:10 a.m. OMFG guys, I am SO sorry. I think, honestly, that this is the longest I've ever gone w/out updating the site. SIX DAYS. WTF??? Well, first of all, I've been studying for finals. Second of all, nothing is happening in MCR world :'( Sad times. BUT! I did just add two new articles to the press library! I'm going to go play with some of the video bundles now too :D -Anna
March 13, 2006
5:50 a.m. UPDATED TABIIS! Added three new mp3s to the Audio Downloads page. Check 'em out! Also, I've just finished recording the newest episode of Immortality Radio. That will go up SOMETIME today, I can't make any guarantees as to what time exactly. It still needs to be converted to stream. But this evening at the latest.
Also, if you're interested, the new Fall Out Boy video is premiering today. They're going to have the Making The Video on MTV and everything. Go check it out, because I'm in the video, and maybe I'm in the Making The Video too. Well, if I am, let me know, because I'll be at work... -Anna
March 9, 2006
1:56 a.m. Added a few new MCR affiliates and Other Music affiliates. Also added a few new pictures to the gallery. Finally, I added our Radio Affiliates page. It has links to all the other sites that you can now hear Immortality Radio on :D -Anna
March 7, 2006
11:34 p.m. Added two new videos to the Video Downloads page, and switched the bundles around. So there are some all-new things to download! Go go! Also added new AP scans to the Press Library. -Anna
March 6, 2006
6:52 p.m. FINALLY put up a new episode of Immortality Radio. From now on, there will be new shows every week! Check it out... -Anna
March 4, 2006
10:08 a.m. Just added a super rare mp3 of "Early Sunsets Over Monroeville" at the 2003 Halloween Show to the Audio Downloads Page. It's weird, because I didn't know I had it, and I don't remember how I got it. But I'm not going to complain... -Anna
3:25 p.m. Added the new VMA video bundle and MCR hosting Much on Demand to the Video Downloads page. Yay! -Anna
9:02 a.m. Added the Spin scans (finally)! Thanks, Hayden. They're pretty amusing. Gerard is apparently last year's Sex God. We knew that already. But wtf is with Gwen Stefani everywhere??? I hate her with the fire of a thousand suns. Also, I'm going to move all the old news from February to the "Old News" page. -Anna
February 28, 2006
2:43 p.m. Added three new mp3s to the Audio Downloads page and one new video to the Video Downloads page. Also changed around some of the bundles on the Video page. Added CosmoGirl press scans *SIGH* -Anna
February 25, 2006
6:10 a.m. Added a few new video bundles to the Video Downloads page. Guys, look through all the listed bundles and Email me which ones you want me to post again (since they're on a rotating schedule). -Anna
4:38 a.m. Just finished adding the very last of the Pansies-eligible fanfic. No more fanfic will be posted until AFTER the Pansies nominations are released. VERY IMPORTANT: IF YOU SUBMITTED YOUR FANFIC BEFORE Feb. 1st AND IT IS STILLLL NOT ON THE SITE, PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP. IF I DON'T HEAR FROM YOU BEFORE March 1st, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO HELP YOU. -Anna
February 23, 2006
6:38 p.m. Cleaned up the Audio Downloads page and added a new remix. Also added a new video :D Enjoy! -Anna
February 19, 2006
3:50 a.m. Added information about two new Future TIP Contests. Also added a RIPPED VERSION of MTVLA's My Chemical Diary. OMFG. It's like the flippin' Holy Grail of MCR media. Woohoo! Wow, I feel like I did so much more than that but I guess not... -Anna
February 18, 2006
1:34 a.m. Added information on the artist responsible for "End My Days" (the rap song featuring a Demolition Lovers sample) to the Audio Downloads page. Also, I'm in the process of uploading some new vids. Again, sorry for the MIA-ness. My internet is FLIPPING OUT on me. Because of this, I'm going to move back the date for release of the Pansy nominations by a few weeks. The judges need time to go through all the new stories, and I still have about 20 more to add. I'm still working on it; it's just REALLY slow going with my dial-up style internet :'( Finally, I'm going to add information about the upcoming TIP Contests... Yes, they're finally back!!! -Anna
February 15, 2006
3:43 a.m. Added a new mp3 to the Audio Downloads page. Also added another mp3 to the CD Release Party set. Thanks so much, Vany!!! Sorry I've been MIA... I was filming the new Fall Out Boy video! More details on THAT later... I'm working on updating the fanfic now. -Anna
February 12, 2006
4:12 a.m. I did a bunch of stuff today to make up for the infrequent updates of late. My internet LOATHES me these days, so uploading anything of use is a major pain. Still, I accomplished some things. I added a new Panic! At The Disco inspired design to the TIP store, added a new video bundle to the video page, added two HILARIOUS covers of "Vampires" to the audio page and added two cute new wallpapers. Whew!
February 8, 2006
9:56 p.m. Just added one of the most awesome and rare MCR mp3 sets to ever come my way... The complete "Bullets" CD release party performance from 2002! :D I'm so totally stoked about this. Superthanks to Laura for making it all possible. GO DOWNLOAD THIS. You want it, I swear. -Anna
7:40 p.m. Added a new live video and matching live video bundle. Go download them! Thanks, Ash & Co. -Anna
2:45 a.m. Added a fabulous rip of the new Life On The Murder Scene trailer (thanks, Hayden!) and changed up the download bundles. Also, I fixed the "Making Of Not OK" vid... Why does no one warn me about these things??? -Anna
February 5, 2006
9:11 p.m. Added a few new link buttons to the "Link Us!" page. They're pretty cute! -Anna
4:25 a.m. Oh. Em. Eff. Gee. I just spent SIX HOURS adding new fanfic. SIX. HOURS. SIX. That's like 1x6 = SIX HOURS!!! *dies* Well at least there's new fanfic to read. It's ONLY on the "Recent" page though. I haven't been able to add it anywhere else yet. Also, it's not all the fic that NEEDS adding. About double that amount is still out for coding. It'll be up by the 15th. Enjoy! -Anna
February 4, 2006
7:35 p.m. Added a bunch of new videos :D -Anna
5:25 p.m. Hahahahahahaha, OMFG, I am so dumb. TIP is one year and three days old now :D I forgot to mention that on the 1st... Thanks guys, for a fabulous year! -Anna
February 3, 2006
2:06 a.m. Added a new press scan from the 2006 issue of Big Cheese. It has some little tidbits about the new album. Thanks, Sye! -Anna
2:30 a.m. Okay, the submission period for The Pansies is now officially over. From now until the 15th I'll be updating the fanfic like mad, so PLEASE don't panic if your fic isn't on the site yet. It'll take awhile to get everything posted. Also, we have as many judges as we need; thank you to everyone who responded. In other news, several of you sent in the date for the Big Cheese interview, so I added that to the Audio page. I have a quick press scan to add, then it's bedtime! - Anna
January 31, 2006
7:40 p.m. Took down some of the huge video bundles (though not all) and added four smaller individual downloads for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! -Anna
4:19 p.m. Hello friends, I'm sure you're wondering where the heck I've been! Also, I know you're expecting some radio updates. Fear not, they're in the works. I've just been really busy for the last three days arguing with customer service for our web server. We keep having random periods where the server goes down, and no one can figure out why. So that's been taking most of my time. Still, I believe there will be a radio update tomorrow, of at least one show, and then a fanfic update in the next few days. Please don't panic if you can't access the site at certain points; that's just the weirdness the server has been experiencing. -Anna
January 28, 2006
11:52 p.m. Added four new fan tattoos to the gallery. They look great! I'm also working on a massive fanfic update. It will probably take another two or three days to get everything up, but it will be worth it... You'll all have SO much more reading material :) Finally, remember that the deadline for fanfic submission for The Pansies is February 1st. So send it in! -Anna
January 24, 2006
4:43 a.m. Uploaded the new radio show! Sorry it was a little late... For some reason, all of the files wanted to give me trouble all day. It's literally taken 24 hours of non-stop screwing around with them to make them play. So if you listened to the show earlier and some things weren't working, they should work now. I hope you like it :) I also added the rest of the Summer Sonic videos (thank you Nancy and Hayden). But even better, I added a one-minute long snippet of an I'm Not Okay rough studio demo! Hooray! Thank you, Sebastian, for allowing me to post that. If anyone has the full length file, I'd be happy to have that too... -Anna
January 22, 2006
9:57 a.m. Fixed the broken links on the videos page. I'm so unintelligent; I forgot to specify which directory the files were in. Durrr! All the links should work now. -Anna
4:01 a.m. Added one new article to the Press Library. Tiger Beat. SIGH. More exciting is the fact that I've revamped the Video Downloads page. Currently there are 7 huge video bundles available for download. Within the next two days, all the videos listed on that page will be available to you. It's just taking awhile to download. I'd recommend you take advantage of this while you can. After the 27th of January I'll have to switch the videos to a rotating schedule, where I'll post maybe 10 at a time plus new videos. So enjoy it while it lasts... -Anna
January 21, 2006
2:29 p.m. Uploaded the complete set of the KROQ Weenie Roast as a .zip file to the Audio Downloads page... So it's all the songs, separate, in one folder. I also got rid of the separate nooganooch links, but left the TIP links (the last three or four) up to be downloaded separately. I also fixed the Our Lady of Sorrows (Demo). Previously it had a weird glitch in it. Now that's basically entirely gone. So even if you have it already, download it again; it sounds MUCH better now. -Anna
1:35 p.m. Uploaded the cut version of the Download mp3. Sorry that took so long... I kind of forgot how to do it!!! And I didn't do it with much finesse, sorry... There's a little glitch between the songs. But I had to do it quick and dirty. Oh, come on, you know that's how you like it. -Anna
January 19, 2006
5:27 p.m. Added info about the different shows offered on Immortality Radio! Starting next Monday we'll have TWO shows. Hope you enjoy it! -Anna
4:35 p.m. Added a complete mp3 of MyChem's performance at the Download Festival in the UK last summer. This includes the famous (bizarre) Dragon Story!!! I also have a video of this, but it's HUGE so I have to find a way to compress it before I can post... Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on converting it to an .avi file :) -Anna
January 18, 2006
7:04 p.m. Added a new article to the Press Library! -Anna
January 17, 2006
12:01 p.m. Added four new Icons. Those icons are the perfect size to use as avatars on the forum, btw... -Anna
January 16, 2006
7:08 p.m. Added a new press scan from (SIGH) Bop! Magazine. The interviews are actually kind of okay though... Also, there's famous hot musician Bingo... That's gotta be good for something, right? In other news, today I got the first donation of the new year. $2. For which I am grateful, but I'm going to be really sad in 11 days when I have to pay the server fees... -Anna
12:19 p.m. Fixed the press scans from last night. Also, uploaded a new radio show playlist :D -Anna
Jan 15, 2006
4:32 a.m. Added a new article to the Press Library. I can't find the date anywhere though... I know it's reasonably recent. Please let me know if you know the date! -Anna
January 13, 2006
9:36 p.m. Okay, the Yearbook download should work for you all now. -Anna
7:48 p.m. Some people have reported problems with the new video, so I'm re-uploading it. It's a big file so it'll take another half hour or so. Hope that will straighten it out for everyone! -Anna
2:39 p.m. Added another new MCR photoset and a new wallpaper. I'm in the process of uploading a new video to test the server's bandwidth capacity. -Anna
12:39 p.m. Added a bunch of new photos... 4 MCR pics from the LA Sports Arena show in September, plus photosets of Frome First To Last and Panic! At The Disco. One set of Panic! pictures I took myself last night at the Carson Daly taping. Enjoy! -Anna
January 11, 2006
9:50 p.m. THE FORUM IS BACK!!! GO REGISTER!!! I'm still having integration issues; I'm going to have to reinstall the chat room. Actually, I tried to reinstall it but for some reason it wouldn't work. So I have to do it again.
ALSO I added a super-rare new track. I mean, unbelievably rare. I mean, no one has it except me and the person who sent it to me. And now you all :) It's a LIVE DEMO version of "Bury Me In Black". I believe it was recorded live at a show sometime before the demo from the Japanese Three Cheers import was recorded. The lyrics are different and so is some of the music. It's DEFINITELY live, so I think they must have been testing it out at some show before going into the studio. They also did this with "I Never Told You What I Do For A Living", as you can see in the Orangevale video. Enjoy!!! -Anna
January 10, 2006
5:43 p.m. Added the new "To The End (Remix)" to the Downloads section! -Anna
January 9, 2006
8:53 p.m. Added 10 new Avatars under the Media section! -Anna
January 7, 2006
2:57 a.m. Well I've been very very very busy. I hope you all like what I've been up to! I've spent the last two days finding the code for and adding a new chat room :D This chat room will be fully integrated with the message board, so that you'll have one user name for both. And it is going to be totally freakin' sweet. I've also been hard at work adding a ton of new live pictures. Since our boys are taking a well-deserved break (AND heading into the studio), I have plenty of time to add older photographs from 2005 and before. Hooray! I have a ton of other things to do but I can't think what. Hm, sleep! -Anna
January 5, 2006
8:41 p.m. Added another new wallpaper. Also, spoke to Annie. She's still dilligently coding away. I cannot WAIT until the board is back up :D -Anna
3:20 a.m. Added a new wallpaper. It's totally cute. -Anna
2:54 a.m. Just switched all the .mp3 files to .zip files. This will save us a bit of space and also make streaming impossible, hopefully saving some bandwidth. Hooray! -Anna

1:24 p.m. Just added two new articles to the Press Library. They're from July, and they're in French, so I don't know if many of you will be able to read them, but they have some good pictures, and one has a setlist for a French gig. Pretty sweet! -Anna
12:40 p.m. Well the first radio show is up and running for reals :D Not that any of you should be listening to it yet. You shouldn't be on this page at all. But it seems that many of you have the frontpage link saved, so I guess I can't stop you. Just please understand that while the site is still offically closed I'm working on a lot of things and fixing a lot of broken links. Some things may look ugly, and some things may be missing. Sorry! But take it for what it is... I haven't heard from Annie, so I have no idea how the board's going. I have half a mind to switch everything back to phpBB so that Annie doesn't have to be bothered. But then again, she's helping me as a favor and I don't want to offend her, either. Decisions, decisions! -Anna
5:22 p.m. Happy New Year everyone! Not that anyone should be reading this... The site is still technically closed. The server switch is complete, but I want the forum up and running before I reopen. In the meantime, I've been busy, adding little things that probably should have been added long ago, etc. I finally added a Contests FAQ. I also updated the History page. But I think the coolest thing I've done so far is add a RADIO STATION. Yes, yes indeed, you can now listen to Immortality Radio whenever you like. Just select "Radio" from the menu and then choose "Listen Now!" to take you to the start page. I hope you guys enjoy it! -Anna
December 5, 2005
A note about the news from Decemeber: All the news past the 5th was somehow lost in the server switch. Oops.
5:56 p.m. First, sorry it's been a few days since an update. My internet connection at home is broken, so I'm having trouble updating the site from there. Right now I'm logged on from work. I just added two new wallpapers and a new mp3 interview. The interview is from a German radio station, courtesy of Birte. You can hear Gerard, but then someone dubs it in German so I don't know. But some TIPsters speak German, so enjoy! Also, I added a scan of the AP newsstand cover so you can see both covers. I'm still waiting on better scans though... -Anna
December 2, 2005
8:31 p.m. Just added the AP Magazine scans! They're pretty good, mostly readable. I'll replace the fuzziest ones when MY copy comes, but until then, squint a bit and enjoy :) -Anna

5:49 a.m. Fixed up the affiliates page, checked all the links, etc. More than half of those links don't work anymore! Well, those are gone, and I added all the new ones. So if you've sent in your info in the past two months (OMFG I'm such a bad person), your site is up now. Unless it hasn't been updated since the beginning of October or something. -Anna
4:06 a.m. Added a new article to the Press Library. Also added two new Random designs to the store: The Best Part and Burn The City. They're based on Fall Out Boy lyrics, yay! -Anna
November 23, 2005
8:32 p.m. Changed the theme of the photo galleries... Now it matches the rest of the site. Thanks, Rawllie! Also, changed the banners in the store, so they match too. ALSO I added a section JUST for the black merch in the store. So go buy some. -Anna
4:00 p.m. The day I have long awaited has arrived! Black T-Shirts are now for sale in the TIP store :D Go check them out! -Anna
2:09 a.m. Added two new articles to the Press Library! Joy! Also, I just got back from Disneyland :D Double joy! I might force you to suffer through some Disneyland pics in the Random Gallery, sorry... -Anna

November 14, 2005
10:58 a.m. I lied and added those two videos just now. They are FAB, so go enjoy them! God, I'm exhausted... -Anna
10:14 a.m. Well, Jenny Howard officially owns my soul. She submitted some AWESOME U.K. vids, which I will hopefully be posting soon. I might add them to MegaUpload, though I hate it, just for now... Because things are currently quite uncertain with our server. But one way or the other, they'll go up soon. Also, I'm in the middle of updating fanfic... You can find the new ones in the Title section. I've been up all night though... I'm so tired. -Anna
4:06 a.m. Added a new live photoset! -Anna
3.26 a.m. TIP lives! Hooray! Well, it lives for now. The server issues keep on coming, and to be honest I don't know how long they'll take to solve. I promise I will keep TIP up and running throughout all the server issues as much as I possibly can, but it might go down occasionally anyway. I'm doing my best for you all. Donate. This is going to be expensive.
In other news, I updated HSWNHY. If you're interested. I also added a new wallpaper, but it's more TIP themed than MCR themed. We've actually had requests for them o__0 -Anna
November 11, 2005
3:09 a.m. Added a new article to the Press Library. Yay! -Anna
November 10, 2005

I KNOW THAT HE'S MY FRIEND AND HE'S DOING THIS FOR FREE BUT HOLY FUCK, IF YOU PROMISE ME SOMETHING I SWEAR I EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN! SIGH sorry. I'm just so upset, and I don't know what to do. I just want you guys to have your board back.
In other news, I added a new article to the press library. Yay! -Anna
November 9, 2005

Oh yes, yes it does... -Anna
November 8, 2005
7:03 p.m. Finally added the last few Zombie MakeUnder entries. Pretty creepy! And yes I am a slacker... -Anna

November 7, 2005
11:47 p.m.: Added FOUR new mp3s to the Downloads section of the Fansite. They consist of a two part radio interview, a live version of "I'm Not Okay" and a live cover of Blur's "Song 2" from their appearance on BBC's Radio 1 earlier today. Thanks so much to Dan-D for sending those in!!! -Anna

6:26 p.m. Added a new press scan to the library. This one is from J-14, a kind of teeny-bop magazine, which makes me go... WTF??? But I mean, there's no such thing as bad publicity... Right? In other news, the board is still down. Nick has until tomorrow to fix it before we just put up a new one. Seriously, I'm over this waiting shit! -Anna
November 3, 2005
2:38 p.m. Added two new press scans. One is a just a tiny blurb from the new AP, but OMFG... Scroll all the way down (or click the highly useful Anchor Link at the top...) to "Undated 2002", because I've just added the oldest MCR print interview in existence :D I also finally added the full "Shut Up And Play" mp3, so check that out as well! -Anna

Added a new fan tattoo to the gallery (NOT the gallery under "Fansite", that one won't exist for much longer... the one under "Photo Galleries"). Also, don't forget, the zombie contests all end tomorrow! So get crackin'! -Anna
October 25, 2005
3:10 a.m. OMFG, five days w/out an update! Well, I was at a debate tourney all weekend, so that's probably why. As they say, debate is life... Everything else is just prep time! Anyway, the weekend was nice and stressful, and midterms are nice and stressful as well. The best way to relax is to add some new live photosets! Check them out in the gallery :D -Anna

Also added a new contributor to the list AND purchased the server!!! It'll take between two and three days to set up, and in the meantime you might experience the site being down randomly. But once it's up, the videos will be back, along with the board. And, even better, I'll be able to give out such things as TIP Email addresses and TIP blog hosting! Sweet! -Anna
October 16, 2005
4:49 p.m. Added the newest Rock Sound article (finally). Yay! It's a great article with some seriously incredible pictures, so be sure to check it out! Also, I spoke to our webhost guy, and he says the board should be up and running quite soon. Joy! -Anna

1:57 p.m. Well, we're having trouble with our server. We're getting ready to switch and so that's causing problems. Please don't freak out if the site is down anytime soon... I promise we're working on getting it back up! -Anna
October 15, 2005
4:57 p.m. Added another new article to the Press Library. It's that lame one from ElleGirl. But it mentions them so I added it anyway. -Anna
October 13, 2005
2:57 p.m. Added a new article to the press library and did ONE other thing... Can't remember WHAT though... :/ -Anna
October 10, 2005
12:30 p.m. Did a lot of random cleanup and things. Changed the banner on the front page, cleaned up the menu bar... Changed it so the Lyrics are all on one page and are all under the Music second of the Fansite. Also added the discography, complete with the GOY single details. That thing is fucking COMPLETE. I love it. Ummmmmmmmm I feel like I did more than that but now I can't think of what else... -Anna

2:36 a.m. Added some new wallpapers, closed the Torosaurus Contests and opened the awesome Zombie contests! Yay! -Anna
1:44 a.m. Added about 20 new pictures to the gallery from the L.A. show. They're from my disposible camera so they're pretty crappy but they're better than nothing, I suppose... -Anna
October 2, 2005
5:02 a.m. OMG why am I still awake? Perhaps because I've been busy adding pictures to the gallery! Indeed. Today I added a bunch of photos from the L.A. show, as well as pictures of Alkaline Trio and Reggie from the second San Diego show. I also added a little vanity gallery for pictures of me and my friends because, well... Why not? Of course, Gerard kicks my ass at sexiness, but I do what I can... -Anna
3:33 p.m. Added a new tattoo to the gallery! I'm trying to figure out a way to put all the tattoos in with the new gallery software... It would be SO MUCH EASIER. Maybe the press too... Hmmm... -Anna
3:21 p.m. Well the end of last month was a little disheartening, what with the server problems and all. I want to thank all of you who donated to help offset our server fees! I think it's obvious that I'm going to have to change the way I set up the downloads. I don't quite know WHAT I'm going to do, but it's obvious that I've got to do something. I'm thinking of a way of rotating the downloads every month, and not posting everything I have all the time. Some of those videos are "classics" that a lot of you have already, or should have (hehe). So I think that might be the way to go... -Anna
September 25, 2005
11:54 p.m. Well, I said I wouldn't link the new photo gallery until it looked better, but... I lied. It's so awesome. Go visit it. The colors will match soon, and the old photos will be uploaded soon. I adore you all. -Anna

Also, I've found a new fanfic manager, so things should get back to normal right away now :) -Anna
September 20, 2005
3:15 a.m. Added a new ringtone. This one is from "Bury Me In Black": "Pick up the phone... Pick up the phone, fucker!" It was so obvious I don't know why it too me so long... -Anna
1:56 a.m. Added the new Torosaurus! Media Contest Entries. I have some Fanfic entries to add too, but they're not coded yet. I sort of a need a new fanfic manager. Gah. Tomorrow I'm going to add all the coded fanfic I have, which may take forever but will be totally worth it... -Anna
September 19, 2005
11:27 p.m. Wow, I think this is the absolute longest I've ever gone without updating the site! Very weird. Well, for those of you who asked, my dad had his surgery today and he's doing great :) Thanks for all your kind wishes! To show my gratitude, I've posted a snippet of the new song our boys are playing on their headlining tour. It's called either "Shut Up And Play" or "Shut Up And Pray" (I prefer "Pray," myself) and sounds pretty badass! You can find it in under Fansite > Downloads > Audio. -Anna

9:04 p.m. Added the new MCR cover of the Misfits song "Astro Zombies" to the Downloads > Audio section. -Anna

2:10 p.m. Just posted an awesome rip of the MTV VMAs Helena performance! This rip is a high-quality .avi, and looks much better than the .wmv file I've seen floating around... It's posted under Downloads: Television Performances: Helena. Enjoy! -Anna

July 23, 2005
1:27 p.m. Hey everyone, this is just a quick note to let you all know that the site will be shut down tonight in the early morning hours so that I can switch the site design over. Hooray! Please be advised, if you have saved any links to the board, those links might change or might not work when the new design goes operational.
Also, for the rest of the day some pages on the site might start looking a little strange, due to me changing things to make the switchover easier.
The forum will not be shut down, however.
I'm very excited about this new design, and I know you all will LOVE it!
Also, thanks to those who have donated in the last few days, the VIDEOS will be back within the week! Keep donating/clicking ads/buying merch... I never want to take those downloads down again! -Anna
July 21, 2005

July 12, 2005
12:08 p.m. Added two new fan tattoos, a Bobness! Media Contest entry and a new Frank wallpaper. STILL indexing pictures o__0 -Anna
July 10, 2005
3:04 p.m. Added a bunch of new videos, including the complete Starland Ballroom show from November. One of those vids is of "To The End," and it's the only vid of that song I've ever found. Also added "Helena" from the $2 Bill show and "Prison" from the AOL Sessions. Enjoy! -Anna
1:05 a.m. Also added two new affiliates, one MCR fansite and a site about The Used! -Anna
1:01 a.m. To break the monotony of indexing pictures, I added a new wallpaper. -Anna
July 8, 2005
9:44 a.m. Added a new MCR affiliate to the MCR links section, hooray! Also added a new banner to link TIP with. -Anna
1:44 a.m. I've taken down the fanfiction section for now. I need to tweak some of the pages in order to make them look right with our new, soon-to-launch design, and it will be too messy if I leave it up while I do that. Also, I have a ton of new stories to add. So be patient! It'll be back soon. Thanks! -Anna
July 7, 2005
11:55 p.m. Well, everyone seems to REALLY be liking the interview, yay!!! I did some general site fixing-up today. I added the new contest entries for the Bobness! Media Contest. I also added a new avatar of Ray; it's pretty badass. I reuploaded the AOL Ghost of You video, so it should work now when you download it (FINALLY). Also, as a present to assuage my guilt, I uploaded and added the complete set of the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas 2004. Why do I feel guilty, you ask? Because the Warped stuff is still under construction! I have over 200 pictures to go through still, among other things, so that all might not go up until Monday. I'm working like four hours a day on it though... -Anna
July 6, 2005
2:54 a.m. Just posted a link to the interview I did with Frank! It's at the top of this page, above the "MCR Approved" icon :) I'll be writing an article based on the interview soon enough, but for now it was enough trouble to transcribe that damn thing! I'll be posting so many pictures and things in the very near future, as well... -Anna
July 4, 2005
11:49 a.m. Warped is totally sweet! Few more shows to go... I'm working on the Warped section right now though :D Also, I GOT MY INTERVIEW, and it was awesome! So much great stuff for you all...
Added a new affiliate to the links section. I have a loooot to update, may take a few days with the concerts and all. Stay tuned! -Anna
11:55 p.m. Opened the new contests and closed voting for the old ones. Warped is kicking my ass. But I'm getting some great stuff, I'll put it up sooooon! -Anna
June 30, 2005
10:14 p.m. SOOOO exhausted from Warped! The "Playlists" video works now, sorry about that. Look for neat news from Warped tomorrow! -Anna
4:06 a.m. In the middle of uploading the "Playlistism" video. This one's in color, people :) It should be complete in about 15 minutes. Enjoy! -Anna

June 23, 2005
10:17 p.m. Seems to be something wrong with our video of the AOL Session's Ghost Of You performance. I've contacted I'm With The Band, and hopefully it'll be straightened out soon! -Anna
5:45 p.m. Just put up the Helena performance from German TRL! -Anna
1:38 a.m. Added a new Straight Edge design to the store, yay! -Anna

8:41 p.m. Added a feature from the Download Festival to the Videos section under Interviews, and added two AWESOME demos to the MP3s section! -Anna
5:15 p.m. Added parts of the Fused Warped Wednesday special to the Videos section under "Interviews". -Anna
3:27 a.m. Added the newest fanfics to their separate Categories. I just need to go through and separate them by Member and Rating now. Tomorrow I think. I'm so sleepy! -Anna
June 20, 2005
10:48 p.m. Changed the link from the old forum to the new one! Go register. -Anna
10:14 p.m. Fixed the numbering for the Lookalike Contest Entries. But that means I had to delete all of the votes for that contest. So go vote again. -Anna
4:29 p.m. Added 18 new fanfics (whew) and updated 3. The new ones aren't divided up on the category, rating and member pages yet, but they're up on the Title and Author pages. I'll go do the others now. -Anna
5:12 a.m. Updated three fanfics. MILLIONS more in the queue... -Anna
4:58 a.m. Finally added the last few Lookalike Contest entries, and added the voting links for those two contests. So go vote! The fanfic contest will be judged by a selected panel, rather than by the population in general, but the determination will be made by July 1st regardless. -Anna
3:19 a.m. Added two new live photosets, one from Warped in OH on the 18th and one from Paris two weeks ago. -Anna
1:46 a.m. Added a new fan tattoo to the gallery! -Anna
June 17, 2005
11:49 p.m. OMFG! A lovely girl named Jes was kind enough to send me a fabulous rip of the ENTIRE KROQ Weenie Roast performance! Hooray! I totally just posted it, go download it. Go go go! -Anna
3:02 a.m. Added an awesome old-school radio interview with the guys! I've never heard of this one before, but it's awesome and no one else has it so you'd better go enjoy it! -Anna
June 16, 2005
2:38 p.m. Added three videos of the guys doing Pre-Production on Three Cheers. Totally awesome! Who doesn't love Twizzlers, really? -Anna
June 15, 2005
5:15 a.m. Added 11 more new fanfics, including the other pending contest entries. Enjoy! -Anna
June 14, 2005
6:39 p.m. Used my nifty BBEdit program to go through every fanfic story and fix any weird code. They should all be perfect now, or as perfect as I can make them. Hooray! -Anna
6:35 a.m. Okay, problem solved. I added 23 new fics, including most of the contest entries (two or three are still pending). Go read them. I'm going to bed! -Anna
4:10 a.m. WHOA. I just tried to upload all the new fanfic updates and my text editor is FREAKIN' OUT on me. It's very weird. So no new updates tonight, I have to figure this madness out... Seriously, WTF??? Luckily, I just bought a new text editor, so hopefully I can figure out how to use it and all will be well... -Anna
June 13, 2005
5:55 p.m. I added cool eBay search boxes to each section of the site. Now you can see all the cool My Chemical Romance stuff that eBay has to offer each time you visit TIP. Sweet! -Anna
4:44 p.m. Added the two new U.K. dates to the Tour page. Lucky U.K. people! -Anna
3:53 a.m. Added Steph's awesome pictures from Rock Am Ring last week. She was SO close! Go check them out. -Anna
2:21 a.m. Fixed the video link to the AOL Sessions Interview. Also, I added the TOC Q&A in a downloadable format, so no more streaming! Now you can have it on your very own computer! Hooray! Last but not least, I added the PETA interview with Mikey and Gerard for download. Enjoy! -Anna
June 12, 2005
5:43 p.m. Put up the details for the two new contests that will be starting in July. I feel so bad that the other contests got pushed back, but the voting will be starting on the 15th so it's all back on track. Hooray!
Also, congratulations to the newest members of the TIP Team: Shelby, Alyssa, Me, Paulina and Davina! They'll be coding your fanfic from now on, so the fanfic turnover rate will be MUCH faster. Joy! -Anna
June 11, 2005
4:10 p.m. I added a Google SearchBox to the site for your convenience. You can use it to search the web or TIP itself. The search results for TIP aren't stellar yet... Google hasn't crawled a lot of our pages. But it still might be moderately helpful, and having the web search right there is really nice!
3:17 p.m. Fixed some of the mp3s that weren't working. Everything should be operational now. Sorry about that!!! Also, the vids have all finished uploading. So they should work too. Hooray! -Anna
2:20 p.m. Added a new live photoset from Rock Im Park in Germany last week. They are AWESOME, thanks Steph! It might be a few minutes before you can see all the thumbnails; some of the images are still uploading. Also, the videos are still uploading, about half of them are finished. The others should be back up within the hour. Enjoy! -Anna
1:24 p.m. Looks like a few of the other vids aren't working. I'm re-uploading those right now, they'll be back online within the next two hours. Sorry for the inconvenience! -Anna
4:06 a.m. Three Cheers for Kath, who let me know that the "Making Of" I'm Not Okay wasn't working. I'm fixing it now, it should be back up within the hour. -Anna
1:20 a.m. I moved more videos from our server onto the "I'm With The Band" server. You might notice an increase in the time it takes to complete a transfer, but wait it out... The videos are just as awesome as ever :) -Anna
June 10, 2005
5:03 p.m. Much love to my friend Aaron, who helped me figure out how to post the Fuse Taste of Chaos Q&A With Gerard and Bert McCracken! They're now available in Streaming Only format in the Videos section under "Interviews". -Anna
June 9, 2005
4:32 a.m. I put the Fanfiction section back up. Hooray! Some of the code is still a little weird in a few of the sections, but it's not too bad and I can clean it up in the next few days. You guys really wanted your fic back! I also made a minor change to the submission process for stories. Now coded fics and uncoded fics go to separate addresses. -Anna
June 8, 2005
5:37 p.m. Finally updated the discography to include the new Helena singles that came out in the U.K. Also added a new fan tattoo. Big shout-out to my brother, who totally graduated today! -Anna
3:26 a.m. Added a short interview from FUSE about the Taste of Chaos tour. Sweet! -Anna
June 7, 2005
7:00 p.m. Added a link to our new affiliate, T-Shirt Hell! Some of their shirts are totally hilarious, so go buy one. -Anna
1:34 p.m. Realized I didn't save the update from 5:00 a.m. until just now. Um, dumb. -Anna
5:00 a.m. Fixed a few broken links. Yay!
June 6, 2005
11:15 p.m. I THOUGHT I had fixed the fanfic section, but weird code cropped up again. It should be up by tomorrow night though, I think I've figured it out now. Sorry! -Anna
3:47 p.m. Added a new tattoo to the Gallery, and added more pictures to the Norfolk photoset (very popular photoset these days). -Anna
4:07 Added a new (old) article to the Press Library. Thanks to Sally the Scarf Girl for submitting this great interview from 2004! Also, I uploaded an exclusive video of the last Get Up Kids show in Calfornia. For now (if you're interested), you can find a link to it in the Fansite section under Links > Other Music. -Anna
June 5, 2005
4:01 a.m. Installed some new menu code for the NEW site design. Ooh, very exciting!!! Also worked on the fanfic section (which you can't tell, because it's still down for repairs) and added more pictures to the Norfolk photoset. -Anna
June 4, 2005
9:45 p.m. I put the GreenZap link back at the top of the page, now that GreenZap is accepting registrations again. PLEASE REGISTER. It helps so much! Also, I took down our MySpace I.D. You can still find it in our Links section, under "Random". -Anna
11:00 a.m. We had to disable all the avatars on the Forum. There was something weird with them, causing many of the threads to malfunction. Annie is dilligently insalling new modifications, and will have those up and running tomorrow. When they get back up, the avatar size for regular board members will now be 50x50 px, rather than 100x100 px. -Anna
June 3, 2005
10:19 p.m. Put up a new fan tattoo AND a video of "I'm Not Okay" from the KROQ Weenie Roast! Oh joy, oh bliss! -Anna
10:07 p.m. Added two new photosets (Norfolk and Arizona TOC) and added more pictures to two others (Weenie Roast and Long Beach TOC). -Anna
8:55 p.m. Took the Fanfic section down in order to fix the problems caused by our FTP once and for all. Expect it to be back up, with new updates, by Monday! -Anna
1:11 p.m. Fixed some wonky code on the Tour page, and added new tour dates for MCR in the U.K. in November. Cheers, my British mates! -Anna
11:52 a.m. Updated "High School Will Never Hurt You." Go read it! Also, I'm going to delete all the news for May except yesterday's. Good plan. -Anna
May 31, 2005
11:55 p.m. Added the new Metal Edge press scans to the library. FULLY READABLE, as always :) Also added the XFM sessions and interviews to the mp3 section, and a cool live video to the video downloads. The video is of Gerard singing with Thursday at Hellfest, 2003. Hooray! -Anna
2:16 a.m. Finally added the last two T-Shirt contest entries and marked off the finalists. The finalists were chosen by a secret panel, because there were so many entries. As soon as I figure out how to bind voting to IP, you all will be voting between the finalists to determine the winner. Yay! -Anna
May 30, 2005
3:52 p.m. I took the GreenZap link down from the top of the site, because they're not accepting any more pre-registrations until the first of June. Thank you SO MUCH to all of you who have registered, it's really going to help the site out! I have a new design planned the requires me to buy some new code ::eek:: BUT with your help I can afford it, and it will be worth it, most hella. -Anna
May 29, 2005
9:30 p.m. Added two new tattoos to the Tattoo Gallery... And they're on the same person! That is dedication, hardcore <3 Thanks, MacKenzie, for showing off your ink. I also added a random/sXe design section on the Merch page. There's one Straight Edge design in there now, and I'll be adding more designs that have nothing to do with TIP, MCR or Fanfic as they come to me. Enjoy! -Anna
7:54 p.m. Added four new designs to the Merch section! Three of the new designs are TIP/MCR Inspired, and one is a Fanfiction design. Go check them out! -Anna
2:50 a.m. Added some more pictures to the AP Party photoset and the Bamboozle photoset. Also added the "All I Want For Christmas Is You" mp3 to the Downloads section. I'm still trying to figure out the voting, so until then, the entries are just going to sort of chill. Also, after much deliberation I've decided not to post the videos taken at the soundcheck I attended until I can get the band's approval to do so. They didn't know they were being recorded. It would be unfair. I'm sure to see them at Warped though, so you won't have to wait long... -Anna
May 27, 2005
3:18 a.m. OMFG, it took me HOURS to finish indexing all those pics! There are 71 in all! o__0 What can I say, I got a little excited. Go check them out, and enjoy! I'll be posting an EXCLUSIVE video tomorrow, along with the last of the contest entries (FINALLY) and some other awesome stuff. Night! -Anna
May 26, 2005
8:36 p.m. WELL if you can see the banner right above the updates, you have a pretty good idea of our big news! I had the pleasure and very great honor of speaking with Gerard last night at the AP Party, and he told me that not only has he visited, TIP, he loves it! He also told me he endorses the website. So... I put up a banner. It makes me happy :) I'm indexing all the pictures and things from last night as I type, and they WILL go up tonight before I go to sleep. Eee! -Anna
May 23, 2005
11:59 p.m. Added individual mp3s of the songs MCR did at the KROQ show. But now my FTP doesn't want to work anymore, so none of my other changes will upload. Balls. -Anna
3:20 p.m. Added an mp3 of the KROQ show to the mp3 section! Go check it out, yay! -Anna
May 22, 2005
2:00 p.m. Good morning! LOL. I just added some pictures of Alkaline Trio to a special page for other bands. You can find it by going to the Weenie Roast pictures and then clicking on the link that says "Click here to see pictures of Alkaline Trio from the same show!" I really like them, and the pix I got are pretty great, so I thought I'd show them off. -Anna
May 21, 2005
11:43 p.m. WELL I'M BACK! Goodness, what an incredible time! I promise to tell you ALLLLL about it tomorrow, but for now I MUST sleep. I added a few pictures of the show to the photos page for you though, to keep you nice and happy. Enjoy! -Anna
2:52 a.m. I am honestly too excited about the KROQ show tomorrow (um, today?) to sleep, so I decided to add more videos. They're still uploading, but they should all be ready to DL in about an hour. I'm just going to leave my computer on while I take a 2 hour nap (I want to get there early). For those of you whom I will be meeting there... I can't wait!!! -Anna
May 19, 2005
5:55 p.m. Added a few more shows to the Tour section, mostly shows in countries other than the U.S. Be happy, foreign fans! -Anna
3:29 a.m. Cleaned up the downloads page a bit, and added a new avatar based on some pictures from the SPIN article. -Anna
May 18, 2005
10:57 p.m. Just added FULL SIZE scans of the new Spin article to the Press Library. They are completely readable, so go check them out! -Anna
4:47 p.m. Fixed the links in the tour section. I SERIOUSLY need to check my code before just walking away from my computer... -Anna
May 17, 2005
11:27 p.m. Just put up a great new wallpaper. Hot. HAWT even. -Anna
10:47 p.m. Added more pictures to the Much On Demand photoset! -Anna
10:30 p.m. Added EIGHT new videos!!! I added all the recent MTV Sessions videos and four interviews, including the most recent one from May 3rd on MuchMusic. Hooray! -Anna
9:52 p.m. Went through and made sure that each tour date for which pictures are posted has a link to the photo page for that show. Oh joy, oh bliss! -Anna
9:38 p.m. Reformatted the Tour section and added some new dates. The section should be complete now, including ALL of their dates. You search by month now, rather than tour, and the tour is listed after each date (because sometimes they do dates that aren't part of a tour in the middle of that tour). I think it makes more sense now. -Anna
7:20 p.m. Our videos are now being hosted by I'm With The Band! You may notice a slight difference in download speed, but trust me, it's worth it... Because now I'll be able to add all the other videos I've been WANTING to add but have been unable to. Woohoo! -Anna
May 16, 2005
7:25 p.m. Added NEW FULL SIZE ROCK SOUND SCANS. These scans are actually READABLE, so go check out the article! -Anna
5:28 a.m. Fixed the Poughkeepsie picture links. Sorry about that! Also, UPDATED TABIIS!!! YES, FINALLY! You can all stop sending me hate mail now... You might think this chapter has ended in a weird place, but there's a companion chapter that will go up tomorrow... It's just not quite right yet, and I'm tired. -Anna
1:28 a.m. Just added two new Live photosets: Poughkeepsie TOC and St. Louis w/ Green Day. Also added more pics to the Bamboozle and Asbury Park TOC sets. Hooray! And I added a new affiliate that I was supposed to add about a month ago. Oops. -Anna
May 15, 2005
11:59 p.m. Added a new fan tattoo to the gallery. Also, all the contests are now closed. DON'T PANIC IF YOU DON'T SEE YOUR ENTRY UP YET. It will probably take me two more days to index and add them all, plus the fanfic entries need to be coded. -Anna
9:52 a.m. Um, hello, I'm an idiot! I fixed the NME scans. Thanks to those of you who alerted me to my stupidity! I really should take a look at my code once I've written it... -Anna
2:10 a.m. Added NME scans from April to the Press Library. The interview is really great, go read it now! -Anna
May 13, 2005
4:58 a.m. Fixed a few more broken links in the mag section, Kerrang! #'s 1 and 2 under February, and also the one from January of this year. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS LET THEM JUST NOT WORK FOR OVER FOUR MONTHS! LOL Seriously, guys, you have to tell me these things! -Anna
3:42 a.m. Added one more wallpaper! Cute! -Anna
2:32 a.m. Oh, I added two new wallpapers, hope you guys like them! I get a lot of wallpaper submissions, and I sadly can't post all of them, but please keep submitting them! I put up as many as I can. -Anna
May 12, 2005
11:57 p.m. Fixed a few of the scan images that didn't work. You guys have to let me know when things don't work!!! Otherwise I might never notice... -Anna
10:32 p.m. Posted the most recent Lookalike and T-Shirt Contest Entries. Here is a quick note to entrants...
If you submitted your design before 05/12/05 and do not see it on the entries page, it's because your design violated one of the rules. Either it wasn't made to go on a white background, didn't meet the size requirements, or used photos that weren't edited enough to keep me out of prison. ALSO if only parts of your entry are displayed, it is for the same reason.
I'm going to go post some new wallpapers and things now, yay! -Anna
9:23 p.m. Added some new live photos!!! Go check them out. -Anna
8:46 p.m. Just added the new AP scans to the Press Library! Going to go add some new live pictures now :) -Anna
May 11, 2005
9:50 p.m. Added two more press scans to the press library! One of the articles is like... 10 pages long. Go read it!!! The Kerrang! scans are a bit pixel-y, because they were kind of small so I sized them up. They're readable, but you'll have to squint a bit. I'll be replacing them with better scans soon! -Anna
7:42 p.m. Added a new press scan to the press library and a new tattoo to the fan tattoo gallery! I'll be updating the site all night now, so keep checking back today! -Anna
May 9, 2005
1.46 p.m. Well, my brief hiatus has ended! I'm mostly not sick anymore, I got my tattoos taken care of, and all is well with the world! I'll be updating a ton these next few days. I just added two great new links to the MCR Links page. They've both been in the "Courtesy Of" section of the video page for quite awhile, but now it's "official". My Chemical Romance-Fr offers a great copy of the "Honey" video (WHY CAN'T I POST THIS VIDEO???) and My French Romance has some exclusive live vids you should DEFINITELY check out. And yes, both of these sites are French :) -Anna
May 6, 2005
3:53 p.m. THIS JUST IN: TIP TOTALLY RULES! As of yesterday, TIP has had 101,215 individual visits since March 5th, 2005. That's 3,425,646 hits in two months! Geez, guys, this blows my mind, I guess you all like the site!
In the interest of maintaining your high level of regard for TIP, I'll be updating like mad all weekend, I promise :) Thank you all for making TIP the largest and most popular MCR fansite on the net <3 -Anna
May 4, 2005
11:20 p.m. Got rid of the TOC interviews... They seemed to not work for anyone except those two people who tested it for me! Weird. But never you fear, a friend is going to change the file types for me, and then we'll try again. -Anna
8:21 a.m. I also fixed the links colors and things, finally. Forgot to mention that! -Anna
7:44 a.m. Well, that whole "sleeping" thing actually didn't work out too well... I'm either too tired or not tired enough! So I did something I've been meaning to do for awhile... I added a link to our NEW STORE to the top of the page. Yay! Currently, we have three designs for your purchasing pleasure, but we'll be adding more as days go on. All the proceeds from the sale of this merch will be used to maintain TIP (and trust me, I need it, considering all the new videos I just posted). So go! Make like good little Americans and buy, buy, buy! Even if you're not American, our shop ships internationally, so please pretend you are and drop some hard-earned pounds, euros and pesos on this madness. -Anna
4:11 a.m. Well it took almost four hours, so y'all had better love me, but I've completely revamped the Videos page. No more Streaming Only vids (they were just taking up space), a new format featuring clickable categories AND I added 14 (!!!) new videos. I added ALL of the Orangevale videos, five Taste of Chaos interviews and the interview from the Hellfest DVD (side note: the guy doing this interview is Straight Edge!!!). Fuck I'm tired. Go enjoy! -Anna
12:06 a.m. Well, I really hope none of you are interested in re-reading the news from April. I accidentally deleted it. Oops! Well, don't look to the past, look to the future...
I just updated the contest entries for the Lookalike Contest. I can't guarantee to update the Tshirt entries tonight... I intend to, but it takes a long time so we'll see. Then again, I have to stay online for the next few hours, because I found someone to send me ALL of the videos from the Orangevale show. Yes. All of them. AND if you're lucky I just might post them... You guys are so lucky I'm so cool. -Anna
11:59 p.m. The Forum was down for a few minutes tonight. It's back up now though! Our webhost is so awesome <3 Look for new updates tomorrow, I'm so tired tonight. But I have cool new stuff to add for sure! -Anna
March 30, 2005
7:27 p.m. Added the "Honey" video stills. Still can't make the video work though. Sorry. But the stills are nice, really! -Anna
6:32 p.m. Just posted a great live video in the Videos section! It's my favorite song from Three Cheers, "It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish". Woohoo! Also posted a totally sweet new wallpaper. Still have more wallpapers and avatars to add, those'll go up tonight.
In other news, I'm going to see MCR on Friday! I MIGHT get a chance to interview them, so head on over to the Forum to suggest interview questions for me!!! -Anna
March 29, 2005
10:39 p.m. Added a new live photoset! I have another one in the queue, just waiting for some info from the person who took it! Yay! -Anna
7:45 p.m. Sweet, the FTP is working! Just added three new fanfics and updated one other. Now I'm going to go add the new live photos. Woohoo! -Anna
March 28, 2005
11:39 p.m. UGH. It's still not working. I've been screwing with it for hours... I'm going to go to bed and see what I can do about it in the morning. SIGH. Check back tomorrow night, hopefully the updates will be up by then. Please, don't lose hope... I have some GREAT stuff to post for you guys. -Anna
3:28 p.m. Hey, sorry there haven't been many updates in the last few days. There's something wrong with my FTP client. FTP is the way I get the pages from my computer onto the internet. It keeps randomly disconnecting after 10 minutes, which causes me to lose all my work! I'm working on it though, and it should be fixed by tonight. At that time, I'll have five new fics up, as well as new live photos and some new wallpapers submitted by fans! Score! So don't give up on TIP yet <3 -Anna
March 26, 2005
5:30 p.m. Well, voting for the Media Set Contest closed yesterday. We'll have the results within the next few days! Look for a major fanfic update later today, yay! -Anna
March 25, 2005
1:12 a.m. Updated TABIIS, finally! Hope you all like the new chapter, please let me know... -Anna
March 24, 2005
3:38 p.m. Just added the April 05 Blender scans! Go check them out in the Press section, they're readable :) Yay! -Anna
March 23, 2005
11:18 p.m. Just added some great new pictures from two days ago! Go check them out! Fanfic going up soon... -Anna
March 20, 2005
11:32 p.m. I get to go home tomorrow! Oh joy, oh bliss!!! And I get to go home to a nice Spring Break, even better. WELL. On to serious matters...
We keep exceeding our bandwidth. This is awesome, because it means you are all really interested in the content we provide. I personally think the site is VERY high quality. However, it's bad, because I am a broke college student. It looks like next month our fees will increase to $40/month. THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR ME. Please, if you enjoy TIP and support what we do here, find it in your heart to donate a few dollars a month. I personally pledge that I will keep the site going as long as I am able. I do not want to have to take down the videos. I want to keep providing all the great content that we're known for, but without your help I don't know how long it can continue.
Right now we have two ways to support TIP. You can either donate a small amount, from $2 to $25, via Paypal, OR, if you have a website and are interested in switching servers, you can discuss it with JNC Hosting, who hosts TIP. They are awesome, and I'm not just saying that. They're always available to give any kind of assistence I need, and they're very hands-on. They've also been great about the whole exceeding the bandwidth thing. In the very near future, we will also have some great MCR inspired TIP Merchandise. All of the proceeds from the sale of this merch will go directly to TIP and keeping us up and running. So please consider it. Thank you! -Anna
2:28 p.m. Well, TexASS remains The Suck. I added three new fanfics and updated one other. Sorry it took soooo loooong! Enjoy... -Anna
March 19, 2005
9:56 p.m. Okay so I said I'd add some fanfic, and I will, but I just added "Under Pressure" LIVE with The Used to the Videos page. Woooohooo! -Anna
9:22 p.m. Okay, according to Nick, the bandwidth has been increased for now. So everything should work again! Let me know if something still doesn't work, and I'll contact him again! As I have nothing better to do out here in TexASS, I'm going to code some fanfic now. Or at least add some... -Anna
7:23 p.m. If the site looks weird or isn't working for you, it's b/c we exceeded our bandwidth. Oops! But it's kind of awesome, really. I'm talking to the hosting service right now, the site will be back up sometime tonight. So don't worry :) -Anna

1:29 a.m. Howdy from Texas! Apparently our hotel has free internet, so I'll do my best to update things this weekend. Amanda, one of our new fanfic coders, has sent me four fanfics to add... Look for those tomorrow (or, you know, in the morning)! For tonight, I added 13 stills from "Helena: Making the Video." I also have some great ones from the "Honey, This Mirror..." video, which I still can't post, but at least you can see some great pics from it. Those will go up tomorrow as well. In the meantime, I'd better get to bed, our first round goes off at 8:45 a.m.!!! -Anna, the Master Debater
03/16/05
11:00 p.m. Just a heads-up... There might not be many updates for the next four days, as I will be in Texas for NPDA Nationals (if any of you know what that is...). Never fear, my new army of fanfic coders is working on the new stories we have to post, and I'll have some great new videos and screen caps for you when I get back! Plus I may be doing updates from TX, depending on whether I can find wireless internet (I can usually find it anywhere). In the meantime, write some fanfic, rip me some videos (please, someone, rip me the $2 Bill show when they air it on MTV2!) or vote in the Media Set Contest. And of course, there are always cool MCR people on the forums! Wish me luck, see you soon! -Anna
6:23 p.m. FINALS ARE OVER! I AM FREEEEE! In other news... Added scans from the April issue of Metal Hammer! There's a great feature on the boys, so go check it out in the press section! Also, we're having a bit of trouble with our mailing list, so if you've signed up to receive updates, just sit tight... We'll have it up and running again in no time. What that happens, you'll have to reregister though... Anyway, look for a BUNCH of new fanfic to go up tonight, yay! -Anna, who is now on SPRING BREAK BABY!
03/15/05
10:38 a.m. The Media Set Contest is now closed. Thanks for entering! Vote here!
03/14/05.
11:15 p.m. Would you like to stay up-to-date with the changes being made to TIP? Would you like to know when we've updated either the Fanfic or Fansite sections? Then just click "Updates Notification" and join our mailing lists! -Anna
7:48 p.m. Added the new Kerrang! press scans, courtesy of Hannah! They're really great, go check them out! Also, updated TABIIS and High School Will Never Hurt You. -Anna
1:48 p.m. Well, if you tried to DL some ringtones last night, you may have noticed they didn't work. Hahah sorry, this is what I get for not checking links! They work now, or they should. I'd left "the" off of the address you're supposed to go to in order to DL them. Dumb!!! But it's fixed now, so come an' get 'em! -Anna
03/13/05
11:40 p.m. You had all better love me right now. I just spent the last three hours (the day before finals, no less!) making the new Ringtones page. You can find it in the "Fansite" section. Enjoy! -Anna
4:29 p.m. Just added two new videos to the Downloads page... Thank You For The Venom LIVE and the Vampires Will Never Hurt You video. Score! You can get them both Streaming Only or Download. Woohoo! Also, I'm starting work on something that I think will be really cool, a little Ringtones section for the Fansite. It'll have mp3 ringtones that you can download to your phone (if it's enabled for that) FREE. Score! -Anna
03/12/05
10:05 p.m. Added two new stories and updated one! -Anna
4:15 p.m. Added a great new live photoset to the Fansite section, courtesy of Truth Magazine! Go check it out, I command thee! -Anna
2:35 a.m. Tweaked a few things that were wrong on the various sections. IF YOU NOTICE SOMETHING WRONG, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! For serious, people, I probably won't figure it out any other way. -Anna
2:22 a.m. Okay, so WHY did no one tell me that most of the buttons on the Contests section had little blue halos??? Listen, if you see anything like that, something unimaginably ugly, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. A lot of this stuff doesn't show up when I look at it. G-d, I can't believe you guys would take that kind of ickiness LOL -Anna
1:57 a.m. Updated two fanfics... Both of mine haha! So go check out Chapter 15 of TABIIS and Chapter 2 of High School Will Never Hurt You, yay! -Anna
03/11/05
7:09 p.m. Updated two fanfics, "Dreaming, I Met Fate" and "This Photograph Is Proof." Enjoy! -Anna
12:30 a.m. OMG, an entire DAY without an update? What the hell is going on here?!?! Honestly guys, you know I try my damndest to update every day. But yesterday my car got towed, causing a huge crisis. Not to mention next week is finals week... But whatever! You want to hear about the updates! I added one great new contest entry (only four more days to enter, guys). I also added "Headfirst For Halos" LIVE to the video downloads page, yes! It's a seriously great performance, I hope you guys enjoy it. Please let me know if any of the downloads don't work for you!
Oh, in even bigger news, TIP is totally growing all out of control. We used up our alotted bandwidth within THREE DAYS. I don't care what anyone says, that is fucking impressive. I'm rather proud, except I had to buy MORE bandwidth, which is expensive. SO I'm going to get to work making a "donations" page. Please, if you love this site and enjoy the things we offer, consider giving even a dollar. Every little bit helps. I'm a starving college student, I can't afford this madness. But the alternative is to take down all the downloads... We'll also be offering some supersweet TIP merchandise for sale, with all of the profits going to continue funding the website. So stay tuned for that!
There's some fic in the queue... I'd best get to coding! -Anna
03/09/05
2:10 a.m. Okay, got the five fanfics that needed updating updated. Yay! There are two NEW stories in the queue, but I think I'm too tired to code them tonight. OMG, finals week coming up!!! -Anna
03/08/05
9:52 p.m. Thanks to Lora who let me know the "Sister To Sleep" mp3 wasn't working. I think I've fixed it, so go ahead and try it now... If it still doesn't work, please let me know. Also, I added three new contest entries to the Contests and Fansite sections, and added two new live photosets, one from 12/30/04 and one from 2/26/05. I especially love the one from Dec. 30th where Gerard is holding his fingers like a gun to his head, great pic! I'll be updating some fanfic later tonight, enjoy! -Anna
03/07/05
4:47 p.m. Just added the "Making Of Helena" video to the Media page. Yay! Also added the rare mp3s. If something doesn't work, please let me know!!! Some people say they're having trouble loading the various parts of the site, period. PLEASE TELL ME SO I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. -Anna
12:46 p.m. OM-FREAKIN'-G!!! The DLs are up and they WORK!!! I fixed some of the streaming code, too!!! Yes!!! I'm still working on the HTM video, I think I have to convert it to a .wmv before it will work properly. PLEASE. If something on the Video page won't play or download, contact me!!! It all works on my computer but that's not saying much. I'll be back soon to add some rare mp3's and things. -Anna
03/06/05
10:51 p.m. Alright, I updated two fanfics. I'm still messing with this video download thing, I don't think I'm doing it properly because I'm not getting it to work. Gah. I'll figure it out though, don't worry! PLEASE if you find a broken link, let me know, some of the links were messed up in the server switch. Thank you! -Anna
8:28 p.m. Well as you may have noticed, the site was down for about 24 hours while we switched servers. If you Emailed me during that time, your Email did NOT get to me, please send it again. Going to ADD SOME VIDEOS!!! -Anna
03/05/05
12:16 p.m. Just added the info on a future contest to the Contests section. Still working on the "About" section, but I'm sure you're not holding your breath for that. It'll be awesome though, for sure. Going to go work on the photos page, yay. -Anna
03/04/05
10:47 p.m. Added more fanfic and still indexing pictures. Talked to the site hosting guy, everything is in the works! They'll be moving it over the weekend, and then it's VIDEO TIME WOOHOO! Check out the forum for a new "mission"! -Anna
11:55 a.m. Okay, I fixed some broken links on the "Photos" page... Thanks to Emma for pointing those out to me! Now all the pictures SHOULD work (but I'm not making any promises). If you run across anything that doesn't work, you know what to do! Look for the new live photos to go up today when I get out of class! -Anna
2:07 a.m. WELL! I added all the stories that needed to be added, score! All that's left to do is the "About" section, which I'll take care of tomorrow. You will all be PLEASED to know that I paid for the new server today. I should get that taken care of tomorrow, then look out for the videos!!! Okay, I'll update TABIIS and index those pictures tomorrow, it is time for sleeeeep... -Anna
03/03/05
10:23 p.m. Okay, the full "Fanfic" section is up! Joy!!! I'm going to go back and add the new fics that need adding, and update whichever ones need updating as well. Then I'll finish the "About" section. Anyway, if you find anything wrong with the Fanfic section, you know how to get ahold of me. -Anna
5 p.m. Just fixed the "Press" link in the Fansite section under Media. PLEASE, if you see a link that's down, let me know! I'll probably never
