Hello!
Where have I been, you might be wondering. The answer is, I don't know. Over the past few months, my life has EXPLODED in my face over and over again. It's been impossible for me to update the site or moderate the forums or even do some of my school work. So, I apologize. Things are calming down now, and maybe I'll be able to get back on track with my duties.
Now that I'm back, I have some things to say. In this epic post I will discuss the SMA podcast, SMA blog, SMA IRC channel, how you can meet the entire SMA team, and what's going on with the SMA email account/CD orders.
Here we go!
One - The SMA podcast (www.sailormoonabridged.com/smapodcast.xml) is being slowly but surely updated. Episode 24/25 was just posted, and the rest will be added as the days go on.
The reason why the podcast is so behind is because Megami33 is the one with all the episodes, but I'm the one that maintains all of the web-based things. She uploads the .mov files to our server, I download them, and then I have to convert them to .mp4, and then reupload them, and then edit the xml file. It's a long process... So, yeah. Bear with me.
Two - SMA has an awesome blog (www.sailormoonabridged.com/blog1) now. Yep. We're blogging kids. It's awesome in its lameness.
The blog won't be anything in particular, as you can already see, if you go check it out. Just a little venue for you guys to get to know us better and to interact with us some more. Take a look and leave some comments!
Three - Thanks to raekuul, SMA now has its own IRC channel (irc://irc.esper.net/SailorMoonAbridged)!
If you don't know how IRC works, don't be intimidated! I didn't know, and it took me all of 5 minutes to figure it out.
I'm sure it will be slow in its infancy, but so were the forums! Now they're bustling and fun, and I know the IRC channel can be, too!
Live chats with SMA fans and me. I mean, really. It doesn't get better than that.
Four - You can come meet the entire SMA team at AnimeNEXT (www.animenex.org) this summer! It's June 12-14 in Somerset, NJ!
We might set up a meet and greet in the lobby or something at a particular time, so keep an eye out for that information. If we don't, don't worry. You'll still see us. Trust me. You won't be able to miss us... WINK WINK. (Or is it, BLINK BLINK?)
Five - Yes, I am aware that there is something wrong with the SMA email account. However, I'm not sure how to fix it. I haven't been receiving emails since late December/early January. I think the internets exploded when I received so many requests for SMA CDs, haha.
I am working on the issue, however, now that my life is no longer exploding in my face.
If you're insane and still interested in an SMA CD, then please hold out a little longer. Once the account is fixed, I'll take orders again, from you Christmas-in-July folks.
If you paid for a CD and never received it, please also hold out until the email is fixed, or send me a PM here. I was having some serious issues with the postal service... They kept sending out my packages with the wrong shipping costs, and then I would wind up with 50 of them sent back to me... I wouldn't be surprised if the packages got lost all together. I am willing to work with people who have already paid and still didn't receive theirs.
Okay! I think that's all for this huge announcement!

) and there will be no 'Super Happy Funtime Gay Week' between me and my best friend now, I am seriously considering going to AnimeNext. It'll be fun. I can go up there, I can bug you guys....I can hop over to Newark and scream at the LOSERS after they LOSE in the first round, and I can visit some family while I'm there. Good times had by all. Now, all I have to do is talk the ol' fiance into it....
