10-Feb-04: Hi, people! Happy (early) Valentine's Day! My Updates Today: Two Very Important Announcements, so please listen close! Firstly: The Fanart Contest has been EXTENDED! Just like last year ... there's still a chance to enter, so please do! Please? And Secondly: Like it says on the main page, I'm looking for volunteers to help me translate some of my R/A doujinshi from scans I've made. If you'd like to help, please Email Me! A real update is coming soon, I promise. Take care.

06-Jan-04: HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!! And Merry Christmas, while I'm at it. I hope you all had a great holiday season. ^_^ As you probably noticed (I hope) Caught in the Crossfire has yet another new layout, which I've spent quite a bit of my time lately making (mostly because I made an entirely different layout then decided I didn't like it and scrapped it). Now, to business: Updates Today: 3 New Fanarts, 1 New Fanfiction, a spiffy New Link and the announcement of the Second Annual Fanart Contest! Please enter! Alright, then, see you next time. Love, Elly

31-Oct-03: Happy Halloween, everybody! Today I have 1 New Fanart for you, and I've made some cute little Trick-or-Treaters, too - - check them out on the Chibies Page. I'd stay longer, but it just so happens that I've got large amounts of candy I must tend to now, so have a happy (and safe) Halloween! Stay tuned to this website for further updates in the not-too-distant future.

07-Oct-03: Today is Caught in the Crossfire's Second Anniversary! Break out the ice cream and sparkling water. I have a new section up in the Special area. Now, you can have Crossfire fun in the comfort of your own home (not that you weren't already) with one of my brand spankin' new wallpapers. I have several pretty papers to choose from, and if you like the idea, drop me an email and I might make some from my own art eventually. Also, keep checking this site because I have something spiffy in the works for y'all. That's all for now, I'm flying kinda low today, trying to get lots done so: Thanks for a great first two years everybody! Heading into our third and feeling great! Until next time, this is Elly, blowing you a kiss.

16-Sep-03: I LIVE AGAIN!! Yes, it's true! After several *coughSIXcough* months of inactivity and hiding from the Midwestern Mafia, Elly is BACK! Caught in the Crossfire has an updated look (it's peachy, ne? Sorry, couldn't resist). Along with our new layout, UPDATES (what a nice word, updates updates updates) TODAY INCLUDE: 3 New Fanarts, 1 New Fanfic, and 1 New Chibified Semi Doujinshi! Yay! Also, we have 2 New Features! The first is "An Interview with Elly", which you will find on the Special Page, and secondly, my famous picture essay "Why I Think Ranma and Shampoo Make a Good Couple", to be found on the Humor Page (Yes you read it right. Suspend your disbelief and just go read it). If you thought you'd gotten rid of me, you're very wrong. If you'd like Elly to be a better girl and update more often, then please, please, Email Me and tell me so. Over the summer while I was... well ... NOT updating, I only had two our three people ask me about Crossfire. So if you've enjoyed this site in the past, just drop me a line or two and tell me. I get so lonely here in my dark little room . . . anyway, I've got great things in mind for Crossfire in the upcoming days, so stay tuned. Take care, everybody!

25-March-03: Finally, it's here! You know, that decent-sized update I've been promising you for so long. Todays Updates are: 2 New Guest Fairy Tales, 3 New Fanarts, 1 New Guest Fanart, 1 New Link and the results of the Fanart Contest. There, at least I've accomplished something now. I really want to finish another chibi doujinshi, but I just haven't had the willpower to buckle down and do anything lately. Well, that's about to change; it's Spring now! Kiss those winter bleahs goodbye! Anyway, I have things to do, people to see, places to go. Well . . . sort of. Next update will come just as soon as I have something worthwhile to post. Take care, everybody!

24-Feb-03: Ah, yes, so much for the once a week update idea. I know, I know, I have a contest running. Well, for those of you interested, please take note of this SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: The Fanart Contest has been EXTENDED. My sincere apologies to the people who entered for this late decision, but be assured I haven't forgotten about you. But the amount of feedback I received was pathetic. I'd at LEAST like the number of entries to equal the number of awards I made. If you'd like to enter the Fanart Contest, please click here. Now, I know you're expecting a big update, since I haven't been around for so long. Well, I don't have one ready. And the worst part is, I don't even feel guilty, because the reason I haven't updated in so long is that my real life got in the way. I was gone two weekends ago, this weekend I had my wisdom teeth removed I'm sorry but I just didn't feel like it. I do have new goodies waiting to be posted, never fear. Today all I can offer is a New Chibi. I'll be back folks, in the meantime I'm recovering from my aching mouth. Some Fanart Entries wouldn't kill me ...

22-Jan-03: Oh, my goodness, what a life. Today's updates: My new layout, which pleaseth me, 1 new fanart and a new link. AND something very very special. I'm hosting a Valentine's Day Fanart Contest! And you can enter right now, so hurry over to the Specials Page and check it out! My site is so small, I'm kind of worried about getting anyone to enter, so please don't hesitate if you're interested. Oh, let me relax for a minute. *Sigh* I really haven't been working on my fanstuffs like I should lately. It's just been so hard to get back into my routine of things that NEED to get done, let alone the things I want to do. And my little workspace here is a total disaster area right now, which also doesn't help. I put Gumby and Pokey on top of my monitor to cheer me on but they just keep falling off .. *Sweatdrop* Thanks, guys. Anyway, don't mind me, I'm sleepy right now. I'll be back with another update soon. Til' then, wish me luck on my little contest thingie ( I hope somebody enters ... ) ... Love, Elly
