August 16, 2003 - Chessrook44 continues to impress me again and again.
Check out the newly added "Episode 7: Other Worlds" to the fan fiction "A Mysterious New World." The author is looking for feedback, so please
feel free to send your thoughts.
August 15, 2003 - Updates first then the story. Ok, the fan fiction theme is still in high gear. Check out Chapter 4 of
LilAznXSakura's fan fiction entitled "Have an Unhappy 16th Birthday." It has excellent imagery and a surprise ending I wasn't ready for. Cool. Now for
the story, my closest friend is moving away to North Caroline tomorrow, and I may never see her again, so I'm feeling REALLY down. I hope there is a great turn out for
next week's contests, or something, cause I could really use the cheering up. As you can tell from my accident last Monday and my friend moving, it's been a
rough couple weeks.
August 14, 2003 - See the NEWS Page for a new entry. Chessrook44 sent in Episode 6 of the fan fiction "A Mysterious World."
Be sure to see this one as some action heats up and there's some great use of adjectives so you can envision what's going on.
I've removed the August Contest choices, but you can still vote for what types of contests you'd like to participate in until the end of today.
Thanks. Major updates on the contest page, those that have ended were removed, other dates updated, plus one new contest added.
August 13, 2003 - Check out the Fan Fiction page, Chapter 6 of Jillian's fan fiction called Sakura Dreams was just added,
and I think it's great and pretty funny too. Also added more August votes for next week's contests! I can't wait! I went back to the hospital for another
checkup as there was still a bit of pain in my neck from last week's accident, but I'm doing ok. Thanks go to those for sending me all the get well emails! Tsubasa

I was hit from behind and suffered whiplash. I hope I feel better soon as I have lots to do for work and here on my sites.
August 05, 2003 - I made a new banner, please help me advertise my contests coming up this month. Thank you! Also updated

to be my affy! YEAH! We're getting close to the end of the month, so check out the Contest Page quick as many will be ending soon!
More August contest votes added. Received a new contest idea: Sakura VS Another Show's Character. This idea was inspired by Juanita Jacome, who has been recording CCS episodes in
Spanish for me over the past year. For this possible Fan Art Contest, think of this as a one-on-one combat, like Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon verses the Thunder Card
from CCS (which Juanita drew for me), Sakura from CCS verses Lina from Slayers or Li from CCS verses Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon. These are just
examples. Click hereto see some one-on-one fan art examples, only remember for my contest it would
be Sakura vs Another Show's Character.
July 27, 2003 - One of the things Geocities does is it will not allow direct linking unless it's to another geocities
site. Well I had several awards on geocities accounts, but all my awards pages are on a fortunecity account. So I've gone through and fixed
Awards Pages 7, 10, 11, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 27, and 29. All awards I've received should be showing up now.

Special message from Spinny, the owner of Spinny Corporation, about her site: I'm probably going to move back to flatface, but I'm not
gonna do it until I come back from Poland, which is where I am now. I should be back around August 12 or so. I'll let Michael know when my site
is back up and running strong. All Anime Marriage and affiliation requests are on hold for now. Thank you for understanding.

Yes you can vote for more than one and you can vote everyday if you'd like. Ok for the Fan Art Alternate Realities, think of this as Halloween.
For example, imagine Sakura dressed up like Lime from Saber Marionette J, Li dressed up like Gourry from Slayers,
Meilin dressed up like Sailor Mars, or Kero in a Pikachu costume. These are just ideas I came up with off the top of my head to help explain
that option better. I got several emails asking about it.

For those that have web sites of their own, be careful of sites that review other sites. Remember those sites only offer their
own personal opinion, and do not represent the majority of the fans that visit your site. There is a difference between constructive
criticism and flat out saying mean things about a particular site. This happened to one of my affiliates and to Kevin from
Sakura Forever!!!, I'm
happy to visit your site! Keep up the great work!

May 18, 2003 - As a favor for a previous site I was helping with, I recorded multiple WAV files from a
favorite Cardcaptors episode of hers. Well that site is long gone, but I've held on to these files all this time, and I thought
it was about time I used them myself. Following the link on the Downloads Page, check out the Sounds Page for 19 new WAV Files for
the Cardcaptors episode, "Sakura in Wonderland." Please do not use them on your site, they are for personal enjoyment. Thanks.
May 15, 2003 - Since the Press Releases Page link was actually on the Merchandise Page, I decided to make a button
(see above) and call it the News Page now. Also there's some updates that have
been added there for this week too. I created a new Friendship Award and passed it on to a few affiliates that have helped me

start thinking about them now, then later on let me know so I have time to prepare. Check out the previous contests I've had so you have an idea of what I've done in the past, what worked,
what didn't work, etc.

Mar 19, 2003 - In the course of my surfing, I've found new sites that were already linking me in their
favorite sites section, so I'm returning the favor on my Great Links Page as well. also on Michael's Favorites, I finally stopped the estimating and got an
accurate count of images on MCC as of today's date. Note: buttons and banners used to link to me and to other sites are not included in the image counts. If
you don't believe me, you can start counting on the Galleries pages first, then move to the all the Merchandise pages. That's the bulk of my site. After that
you can count all the fan art, including those submitted in contests, and don't forget the Bubble Comics too.
Mar 18, 2003 - Thanks to Cindy from Cardcaptors Cosmos
added a new Buddy Award to Awards Page 35. Huge updates on the "Other Site Updates" page as well, covering updates from this past weekend.
Mar 17, 2003 - Revathy from India informed me that
Cardcaptors did not air today. Neither did any other Toonami show. Power zone was going
on instead. The Battle City Tournament, hosted by Spinny Corporation, has been delayed a couple weeks to get more
team participation. It wouldn't be much of a tournament with only two teams. I encourage those with sites to form teams of three and enter
the tournament. Remember the Battle City Tournament is open to all anime sites, not just YGO or CCS/CC.

Feb 18, 2003 - It took 6 hours to shovel two feet of snow off our driveway. Ok enough excuses. For those that don't know,

The highlight of my time there was I saw Washu, who is the owner of Lemon
Lime, and she was dressed up as Lime!!!!!!!!!! For those that don't know, Saber Marionette J is one of my most favorite animes
that I recommend to everyone, (which I plan to make a site for sometime) and Lime is my favorite character from the show. I also took
lots of pictures of fans dressed up as characters from my other web sites, so I'll scan them when I get the filmed developed.

I got a new one today from Saffy, the owner of Sakura Loves God, and added it to
Holiday Gifts Page 15 (see link on the Awards Page). For those of us who don't really like Valentine's Day, mainly because we have no
one to share it with, it's nice to have friends in other places we can share it with. Thank you all. Another reason why I always say
"AFFILIATES RULE!"

Semi-Finals and all, but come on. Anyway, after filtering those and several other illegal ones out, congratulations to the two finalists!
It's nice to have affiliates. Most made sure they let me know that they were voting for their affiliate(s). I'm proud of the Tournament's

I sent an email to Megori of Estatic Reviews asking her NOT to close her site. I also asked to be a reviewer myself and offered a couple
suggestions. The service offered from Estatic Reviews can be helpful to a new developer, if the review is handled professionally and with
care. I think that's fair. We're all fans here so its important to help each other out.

with voting to follow after that. I plan on entering. I always wondered myself what some of the characters looked like when they are older.
Now's my chance to find out, by drawing them myself.
WOW! Lots of Tournament Action. This is the final stretch in the Semi-Finals! Have all votes to me by Sunday
7:00 PM EST! THIS WILL DETERMINE WHO THE FINALISTS ARE! THEN THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE WEEK LEFT TO DETERMINE THE WINNER OF THE
TOURNAMENT!!!
Nov 9, 2002 - YEAH! Thank you Jen! She sent me Chapter 4 of her wonderful fan fiction entitled "Magical Twist."
More fan fiction has also been submitted, and will be added soon.
Nov 8, 2002 - Note: Reviewers from Estatic Reviews are not professional web page designers. They are fans like you and me.
Do not take their words personally. They are offering advice only, which isn't that good as they use harsh words and nothing for encouragement.
For example, instead of saying "it is recommended to..." they say "you should of done this..." That's not advice, that's slamming someone.
So far 3 sites have been reviewed by individuals there, all 3 sites failed according to THEIR RULES. I have yet to see a "perfect site"
based on what THEY want. If you want a real, fair, and impartial review of your site, let me know. Email me by clicking
here. If I get enough support, then I'll create
a Reviewing Page myself, so it will be done right the first time by offering real advice, being reviewed by more than one person, using fair
suggestions (not rules you must obey), etc. I'd say as of right now, I've probably had close to 50 people email me
in the last 2 years asking if I'd look at their site and tell them what I think and stuff, so I'm not "new" to it like one of the reviewers is
on Estatic Reviews, who did a horrible job at reviewing Kyle's Cardcaptors. Besides working on 15 web sites I own or partially own, I've also taught HTML to others, so I know what I'm doing.
We're all fans here, supporting each other is more important then slamming someone else's site.
Affiliates Rule! I've said it before and I'll say it again. Affiliates Rule! Special thanks to all that
emailed me with words of encouragement. You all are right, it's only the opinion of ONE PERSON ONLY. Well as you can see I made a few changes.
Ok, what do you think? I've actually been thinking about a layout like this for the past 8 months or so, not because of my recent review.
I guess Megori's review of my site, as bad as it was, forced the issue (see yesterday's update) as I scored 49/100. Intolerable.
So now you have to click a couple extra links to get where you want to go, but I guess it's a bit more organized now. Let me know what
you think. Email me by clicking here. Don't forget the SEMI-FINALS are underway in the Tournament of the Clow Cards.
SEND IN YOUR VOTES NOW!
Nov 7, 2002 - Yesterday I mentioned a new site called Estatic Reviews.
This is where you have someone review your site and are scored based on their rules. Well I got the results back, certainly not what I was expecting.
I don't know what to say. Please everyone read my review here, then email me by clicking
here and let me know what you think. Is my site that bad? Do you have any suggestions for me?
Keep in mind though that this is from ONE reviewer and the opinion from ONE person's point-of-view. I could use the cheering up.
Here's what I'd like to do: if I get enough feedback back, I'd like to create a new Reviewer page. That way everyone has a fair chance to
review my site, tell me what you think, what you like, what I can approve on, etc. Every time the question comes up about me needing a new
layout I always ask, would you rather see more content added to my site, or would you rather me spend the time on a new layout instead?
The answer has always been the former and not the latter. Please everyone see the review from Estatic Reviews, then email me your thoughts.
Thanks.
Nov 6, 2002 - S+S Shrine has a new Holiday
layout! S+S Shrine is also hosting a new contest this month, see the above banner.
Sakura Universe has made a big update adding lots more content to see! Congratulations to Megori for the Grand Opening of her new site
called Estatic Reviews. This is a site dedicated to reviewing other CCS/CC sites. It can be
helpful sometimes to have someone else look at your site. This can aid anyone in become better web page designers. There use to be a site
out there called Yue's Judgment that did something similar to this, but they were cruel and made harsh remarks about other fan sites.
There's a difference from constructive criticism and flat out being rude. I know Elastic Reviews will do the former as I have faith in Megori
and who she chooses to be on the review staff. I encourage those that have fan sites to send in your entries to her. If you wish to be a
reviewer, send her an email, though I'm not sure if she's taking any more at this time since the site just opened. The results are in for the
Star Universe Halloween Contest, and I got 3rd place. YEAH!
Sakura Forever!!! has made a Tournament of the Clow Cards
Voting Page for the SEMI-FINALS on his site, nicely done!
Nov 5, 2002 - Sakura Premimum has a new layout!
Congratulations to Kashu No Bijin (Madison's Shrine) for 2,000 hits!
Congratulations to Catch Me for being online for 2 years and earning 13,000 hits!
Created a new section above called Michael's "Wish They'd Come Back" Site. There are many sites I enjoyed visiting, but aren't updated anymore
for some unknown reason or another. This is an attempt to bring exposure back to these sites in the hopes that the owner will update them
again.
Nov 4, 2002 - WOW! Nothing less than an exciting week of Tournament action! I'm proud of everyone being honest in
their voting, and all 4 sites in competition this past week. Though is was tough,
Avalon Heaven, with a new layout, made a huge come back, after loosing ground early from bandwidth
limits, pulled out on top over Star Cardcaptor in The Lightning League.
Two wonderful sites battled each other on the Dragon Champions side of the competition. Let me tell you, affiliates of both sites were
dedicated and made sure their votes were sent in everyday. It was very close with the lead changing sides many times. In the end, it
was S+S Shrine with the win over
Magik. My congratulations to Avalon Heaven and S+S Shrine advancing to the Semi-Finals!
Nov 3, 2002 - Winners have been announced in
Sakura's Spooky Halloween Contest. Guess what? My funny original drawing won! YEAH! I worked hard on it too, but after looking at the site,
I had very tough competition, and am very excited to have won. Happy Birthday to Princess Sailor Mars! Good Luck on your web site!
Be sure to have your Tournament Votes in to me by 7PM TODAY!!!
Nov 2, 2002 - Tomorrow is the LAST DAY for the Quarter Finals in the Tournament of the Clow Cards!!! Be sure to have your
votes in by 7PM EST on Sunday. After 7 PM, I'll count the remaining votes, then we'll know who's in the SEMI-FINALS!!!!!!! YEAH!!!
Thanks to Revathy, new data from India has been added on the CC International page. Also thanks to
Teletoon's revamped web site, I was able to finally get a complete listing of the English Cardcaptors episodes shown in Canada, so that
was also updated on the CC International page.
Nov 1, 2002 - Hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! It's the start of November, do you know what that means?
First check out the updates on the Press Releases Page in the Marketing Section for all the November Anime Conventions. Also see the new
fan site contests to participate in, see the above banners. On MichaelsFavorites.com, a new site opened with over 8,000 images called
M&K's Superhero Classics. Check that out for a collection of 10 new sites to visit.
Oct 31, 2002 - Happy Halloween! Today is the last day you can enter the
Star Universe Halloween Contest. Today is also the last day you can
submit entries in the Sakura Forever!!! October Contest.
If you still don't know what my favorite episode is, click this link as it may help,
courtesy of my affiliate Sakura Heart. If your site is hosting a November contest, let me know.
I've received two emails so far. Happy Birthday to Arch, reporter on Sakura Orange.
Sakura's Spooky Halloween hasn't been updated yet with all the entries and the
winner(s), but I've been assured it will be soon. ATTENTION: Card Captors is giving away
an award to the person who is the 4,000th hit on her site. When you visit her site, scroll all the way to the bottom and check the hit counter.
Congratulations to Tomoeda Elementary for 5,000 hits and a nice new layout!
Speaking of hits and hit counters, I was the 134,000th hit this morning on my own Michael's Favorites. COOL!
The Syaoran and Eriol Shrine is almost up to 30,000 hits too. Way to go!
Oct 28, 2002 - Thanks to Wendy for sending in a new wallpaper added to
Page 7. Also added two awards to
Page 30. One was for participating in Star Cardcaptor's
August Contest and the other was for 2nd place in the Edited Graphics contest. YEAH!!!
Oct 27, 2002 - Congratulations to Kyle's
Cardcaptors / Arrow Card and Sakura Universe / Firey Card
for advancing to the Semi-Finals! I'm very proud of Cardcaptor Dreams / Hope Card
and Sakura Loves God / Dream Card for making this another exciting week of tournament action.
Both of you certainly gave the competition a run for their money and got lots of votes yourselves! It was very close all the way to the end
too! All of you should be very proud to have such wonderful supports and fans of your sites!!! I hope everyone continues to send in their
votes. For the one person that complained yesterday to me, no I am not voting and am not simply picking my favorite either. I am in charge
of the tournament voting counts and I do the best job I can. Some people did try to vote more than once in the same day, but only one of
their votes were counted. Integrity above all else! BTW, please no cheating by using more than one email account to vote. I have been very
strict about collecting data on the votes, like what time it came, what account came before and after. You see if the same two email accounts
always are received one right after the other EVERY TIME, especially if they are always less than 1 minute apart, it's apparent that it's
the same person trying to vote twice in the same day for the same site. Yes please vote for your favorite site, but please be honest in your
voting. Thanks go to all those that have been all this time already!!!
Oct 26, 2002 - I joined a new Cardcaptor Sakura Anti-Plagerism Clique!
I strongly believe in doing one's own work and giving credit to those that help. The first part of the Quarter Finals ends tomorrow night at
7:00 PM EST. Send in your votes! Please only submit one vote for a site from each team. Do not use multiple email accounts. There are a couple
that have tried. I told you that I'd be keeping track myself. Please be fair and do the right thing.
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO SEND IN YOUR ENTRIES INTO THE SAKURA'S SPOOKY HALLOWEEN
CONTEST!
Oct 25, 2002 - Contest updates for the above: Sakura's
Spooky Halloween must have all entries by October 26th! Star
Universe's Halloween Contest must have all entries by October 31st! I entered both with an original fan
art for Halloween, which I think is really funny, and you can see
here!
Oct 24, 2002 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRA at Sakura Premium!
YEAH! Cardcaptor Sakuraholics has a new background for fall, and it looks cool.
I'm very proud of all the sites that didn't advance in the tournament. All have been very great sports and very supportive.
On Stickers Page 16 added 5 new prism
images. Keep sending in your votes in the Tournament of the Clow Cards!!!
Oct 23, 2002 - Michael's Cardcaptors finally has its own
YKYWTMCCSW... page!!! It's actually a Top 20 Count Down too! For those
that don't know what that means, check out the page. I think it's pretty funny myself, and I've read the list several times.
Hey check this out, on The Lightning League side of the tournament, it's the battle of the Movie Cards, Arrow vs Hope! How about that.
Oct 22, 2002 - VOTING CONTINUES IN THE S+S CUTEST CONTEST. Click
here and vote for #5 (which is my best entry).
The Sakura Forever!!! Trivia Contest has begun! I helped with some of the
questions, but for those that have asked, I did not submit the question, "What is Michael from Michael's Cardcaptors favorite episode?" Since
not everyone REALLY knows that, a clue can be found on the Cartoon Network page. Please note, not all the answers are on my site.
For example, it was never established in the series what the characters' birthdays are, but that data came from collector cards and can be
found on other fan sites.
Oct 20, 2002 - WOW! Shocking events, close calls, leads changing sides, and that was only last week of the
Tournament of the Clow
Cards!!! My congratulations go to all the sites from the past week. A truck load of votes came in this weekend.
From the Lightning League, Avalon Heaven / Return Card has advanced. From the Dragon Champions,
Magik / Jump Card has advanced in the surprised upset of the tournament thus far I think. I
salute Cardcaptor Sakuraholics and
Sakura and Syaoran Page of Love (SSPL) for their extraordinary efforts.
Sakuraholics took the lead many times and SSPL jumped to a commanding lead early on, and held the lead for most of the week too. I'm proud of
all of you for doing so well. In Fact, SSPL has a new layout too so be sure to check that out. Having
said that, it's the start of the QUARTER
FINALS!!!! This week it's Cardcaptor Dreams / Hope Card verses
Kyle's Cardcaptors / Arrow Card on the Lightning League side of the tournament. From the Dragon Champions
in Quarter Final action is Sakura Universe / Firey Card verses
Sakura Loves God / Dream Card.
Site updates: on Awards Page 30, added Thank You Awards from Avalon Heaven and Sakura Forever!!!
Oct 20, 2002 - Wow this tournament is exciting! The LOVE Card has retaken the lead, but barely as the JUMP
Card will not give up! On the other side, Lightning Strikes! It's been back and forth on who has the lead, currently it's the TIME Card over the RETURN Card by
a narrow margin as the final day of voting draws near. LESS THEN ONE DAY LEFT! Send in your votes by 7:00 PM EST Sunday night! This will determine our final contestants in the Quarter
Finals! One more thing, the Trivia contest held by Sakura Forever!!! starts
tomorrow as well! I will not be participating as I helped come up with some of the questions. SURPRISE!
Oct 19, 2002 - COOL! Special thanks to Emily for the new banner! Updated more episode data in the
CC International
Page thanks to Revathy. Only two days of voting left in Round 1 of competition for the
Tournament. Continue to gather support for your
sites to get all the votes you can!
Oct 18, 2002 - Hi everyone! Noone likes to read excuses, but a member on my assigned team in one of my graduate
classes has dropped out, which automatically doubled my work load. I'm committed to the tournament to update it everyday, but my other sites
my not be updated as often as I had hoped. Yu-Gi-Oh fans will be happy to know I've created a new
Reporter's Page where you send me the news
and I'll post it. I already have 2 reporters already, but more are welcome! Send me your screen name along with your news and I'll post it.
Back to the CCS/CC part, those that have made accomplishments on your site, have news yourself, new layout, etc. send it to me and
I'll post it here for all to see! I encourage everyone to participate in the above contests. Many of them, especially the Halloween themed contests, only
happen once a year, so don't miss your opportunity! I plan on entering myself, but I don't draw that well so you guys and gals have a great chance in
winning!!!
Oct 17, 2002 - VOTING HAS BEGUN IN THE S+S CUTEST CONTEST. Click
here and vote for #5 (which is my best entry).
Please only vote once per day to make it fair. Thanks.Kyle's Cardcaptors has updated
the eBay Toy Showcase / Anime Store of the Week. Added the new banner for the Star
Universe's Halloween Contest. Updated more votes on the Tournament page. Michael's Cardcaptors is the Site of the Month on
Platinum. YEAH!
Those that play the Cardcaptors Trading Card Game (TCG) will
be interested to know there is a Community you can join to talk about it. Click here
to learn more.
Oct 16, 2002 - Sakura Forever!!!
is hosting a new Trivia Contest, which starts October 21st.
On top of that, Sakura Forever!!! has a smashing new layout. Also
added a link to the Star Universe's Spooky Halloween Contest.
The voting in the Tournament is very tight. On the Lightning League side, the site with the most votes has changed constantly but is still
close. On the Dragon Champions side, fans of the Jump Card have united to make it a tie game with SSPL! WOW! Keep them votes coming everyday!
Remember voting promptly ends at 7:00 PM EST on Sunday October 20, 2002 and it's who has the most votes by then determines who
advances. Added a new Press Release post contradicting a rumor posted on another site.
Time for the serious part: Someone sent an email to the owner of Avalon Heaven saying her site wasn't worthy enough to be in the Tournament. Well let
me tell you something, every site in the Tournament is BEYOND worthy enough to participate. If anyone has a problem with a particular site in the
competition, then take it up with me, and don't pick on anyone else. Sea of
Stars is my graphics specialist and input adviser, and I'm maintaining the voting and advancement status. I'm sad when a site doesn't advance cause I love them
all, but since it is a contest, there has to be a winner in the end, but that doesn't mean rude emails can be sent so cut it out already. The Tournament has
been such an exciting experience for so many, lets keep it that way. Ok I think we beat that to the ground and I'll put the Fight Card back in my pocket.
Oct 15, 2002 - Remember when you vote to update the subject line. I got two votes from Kimmy M and Jamie Li where the
subject line wasn't updated with a site name and there was nothing in the email itself, so I wasn't sure where the votes should go. If
one of the above names is you, then send me your vote(s) so they can be counted. Wow! Lots of votes are pouring in!
Keep up the excellent work! Keep them coming as it's not over yet! The Lighning League has a great competition and Jump Card is gaining ground.
Email your friends and affiliates and tell them to vote everyday this week! Congratulations to
Sakuraholics for 1,000 hits. To be fair, also visit
Avalon Heaven as both are competing against each other in the
Tournament. Updated Sakura's Spooky Halloween Contest link. The new page can be seen by clicking the above banner or clicking
here. Kyle's Cardcaptors has a new
feature called Kyle's eBay Toy Showcase / Anime Store of the Week. Each week this page
will talk about a recommended online store and an eBay seller that offers a lot of anime for sale. Occasionally if a rare item is found on
eBay, a link will be displayed. This will greatly help those that don't have the time to check eBay everyday for those rare and unusual
items you may be looking for. I also have a new affiliate, Spinny's Corporation. YEAH!
Oct 14, 2002 - Congratulations to Star
Cardcaptor and S+S
Shrine for advancing in the tournament. This week, the last week in Round 1
features 4 more wonderful sites with lots to offer. From The Lightning League: Sakuraholics
representing the Return Card, and Avalon
Heaven representing the Time Card. From The Dragon Champions: Sakura
and Syaoran Page of Love (SSPL), representing the Love Card, and Magik,
representing the Jump Card. Be sure to visit all sites and send in your votes
everyday this week. THANKS!
TOURNAMENT UPDATE: It pays to email your friends and have them vote for you.
SSPL has battled well with the LOVE CARD and has taken an early lead while the
RETURN and TIME CARD are currently tied in close combat. Don't count out the
JUMP CARD yet as there's lots of time in the Tournament to go.
Oct 13, 2002 - Thanks to Morgan, added more codes on MichaelsFavorites.com for the KidsWB Top of the Tower and
Cartoon Network cToon codes. Way to go Chrissy! She sent me Episode 10 of her fan fiction called Loop the Loop, and it's excellent!
Added a new banner for Magik's Halloween contest, see above.
Oct 12, 2002 - Congratulations to my affiliate Avalon Heaven
for 3,000 hits!!! That's way cool! To top it off, she also has a new Halloween layout too so go check it out! Alright! Thanks to Chrissy
(AKA The MilleniumPhoenix) for sending in in more fan fiction.
Added Chapter 7 called "Shields and Spice and Everything Nice" and Chapter 9 called "To Speak or Not to Speak".
If you haven't read her Character Profiles, be sure to do that too. Added a new October Contest I found on Magik's site (no banner),
see link above. My 2nd entry in the S+S Cutest Contest has been added, and I think it's funnier then my first entry, so click the above
banner and visit the entries page.
Oct 11, 2002 - Thanks to Card Captors, added an Affy Award on
Page 29. Congratulations to my affiliate
Sea of Stars for her site's 1-Year Anniversary.
If that wasn't enough, she has a new layout too! Sticking with more good news, congratulations to
Card Captor Dreams for 1,000 hits! Does your site have a big accomplishment or new layout? Let me know and I'll post it here.
According to Sandeep Potluri, Cardcaptors has stopped airing on Nickelodeon in the UK since the beginning of September after the airing
of the episode - Revelations Part 2. It has been instead replaced by a second episode of Yu-Gi-Oh. Tournament Update: Fly and Windy
work well together and will not give up the fight. Both have gained major ground and giving the current leaders a run for their
money. KEEP SENDING IN YOUR VOTES! It's not over yet! Contact your affiliates and friends asking them to continue to support your efforts
in the Tournament! Update: Star Cardcaptor is back up.
Special Message from Sakura Avalon the web mistress of
Courageous Wings: Please, all affiliates of her site, e-mail her at
toomuch_2handle@hotmail.com with your URL and buttons. Sakura has a new URL and is working
on her new site, but keeping the same name so affiliates won't have to change her button, only the link. More updates on this coming soon...
Oct 10, 2002 - Did Star Cardcaptor go down? When I visit the site, all I get is a white screen and
nothing else. Hurry and please fix. This could affect the voting in the Tournament if people can't view the site to vote for. I sent another entry to
the S+S Cutest contest, but it hasn't been added yet. There was no limit to only one entry so I thought I'd send another. Power Point makes it easy to create
bubble comics. I must say the voting in the Tournament really surprised me. It pays to have affiliates that look out for each other. Many of the email votes that came in indicated they were voting for their affiliates. Cool. You know what that
means: Affiliates Rule! Check out Key Chains page 6 for 1 new image of three PVC key chains.
Oct 9, 2002 - Did I ever mention that Affiliates Rule?! Well they do and I have another one. Everyone please visit
The Card Capturing Days. A very kawaii site indeed.
The voting is going well in the Tournament. It pays to have affiliates and to email your friends to ask them to vote for you everyday.
Check out the stats now. Could there be an upset in the works? Well the Tournament isn't over yet and we shouldn't jump to any conclusions.
I think I'll do the double competitions throughout the rest of the tournament until we get to the Finals. This will make it run faster as
that seems to be what most want based on the numerous emails I've received.
Oct 8, 2002 - Another exciting week of voting as many came in on the last day. I guess people forgot to vote during the week. In any case, congratulations to Sakura Loves God for advancing in the Tournament. This week features a clash from each team, to speed up the tournament process. All this week you can vote twice per day, but only one vote per team per day. From The Lightning
Team competing against each other are Sakura Sunrise representing the Fly Card, and Star Cardcaptor representing the Illusion Card. From The Dragon Champions team
competing against each other are Sakura Heart representing the Windy Card, and S+S
Shrine representing the Create Card. Please visit all competing sites first before voting. Please vote twice per day, but only once for a competing site
from each team. Thank you. The Syaoran and Eriol Shrine has a new layout and there are a lot improvements.
It's really cool and worth visiting. There is also a new Artwork Competition sponsored by the site as well for this month, added the banner for it above.
Oct 6, 2002 - On awards Page 29,
added a Certification as an Official Affiliate of RCCSM Award. THANK YOU! Speaking of Affiliates, I have a couple new ones. Everyone please visit
Card Captors, Cherry Blossom Dreams and
Sakura's Magic Star. Also on Awards Page 29 is a new affiliate award from
Sakura's Magic Star. All my new affiliates are excellent sites, highly recommended, and I'm proud to be friends/affiliate with them.
Affiliates Rule!!! YEAH!!! My entry in the S+S Cutest Contest has been added. It's not very good but click the above contest banner to see it.
Continue to vote in the Tournament!!!
Oct 4, 2002 - My entry in the S+S Cutest Contest hasn't
been added in that contest yet, I hope it is soon cause I think it's funny. Kyle's Cardcaptors, now part of Kyle's Faves, will have a new
layout soon. I worked on that today so we'll see if he likes what I came up with. Continue to Vote in the Tournament! I have decided
that starting next week, we WILL have two clashes at a time from each team. This means you will be able to vote twice per day, but
only once per team per day, and I'll be keeping track.
Oct 3, 2002 - Got some updates from Chrissy on her fan fiction that was added yesterday and updated those
3 pages. Moved the Mystic Creations banner to the Great Links page. Their orders are full and are not taking anymore this month.
Submitted an entry into a new contest I found at Avalon Sakura. See the above S+S Cutest
Contest banner!
Oct 2, 2002 - Thanks to Chrissy Kath, added Windy Ways, Chapter 7
of her great fan fiction. Also as a special bonus, Chrissy supplied the fans with a terrific character profiles
list! Now you will understand all the players involved. Removed the August/September contests and added a new
October Couples Contest from
Crystal Ice Palace. If there any other sites out there
hosting an October contest, let me know and I'll promote it! Vote in the
Tournament of the Clow Cards!
Oct 1, 2002 - Congratulations to Cardcaptors Rock for 1000 hits!
Sakura Orange has a nice new
layout. Clow Secrets is looking for someone to write a summary for the 2nd movie for her.
the Micheal mentioned on Angel
Wings is not me, but another fan helping her site. Thanks to everyone that voted last week in the Tournament. I like the email way better too. Though you can't see real-time stats like in an
online poll, I try to post new stats daily. Speaking of voting, yes you can vote for your favorite Clow Card, or you can vote for your
favorite web site. I just thought of each site representing a Clow Card was something new and different. After this week's clash is over,
you'll be able to vote twice per day, one vote for each team, to help speed up the tournament a bit. I've gotten a few emails asking me why
it's taking so long to get this far. Oh well. So starting next week we'll try a double clash and see how that works out. Yep you still vote using emails,
but I'll have it set up so the Team Name is in the Subject Heading, and there will be two Vote Now images to click.
The Vote Now image currently in use is courtesy of Kyle from Kyle's Cardcaptors.
BTW, congrats to Kyle for his new URL!
Sept 30, 2002 - A very exciting week of Tournament action indeed. Congratulations to both sites for doing very well
in the voting as it was a close competition all the way to the very end. Both sites are affiliates with me, and with each other. Both update often and are
excellent fan sites. From The Lightening League, this past week's winner is
Kyle's Cardcaptors. Next up is another great competition from The Dragon Champions with
Sakura Loves God, representing the Dream Card, verses
Sakura Bubble, representing none other than the Bubble Card! Start sending in
your votes! I've watched both sites grow and prosper. I'm excited to see how this week turns out.
Magik, one of my affiliates, has a smashing new layout that you must see!
Sept 29, 2002 - YEAH! I have a new affiliate called Reminiscing Card Captor Sakura
Moments... The Tournament is going well. I've gotten lots of positive feedback on the way this week's contest voting has been handled,
so I think I'll stick with it for the rest of the tournament. The online polls are just not trustworthy. This week's voting will promptly
end on Sunday at 7:00 PM EST. If there is a tie at that precise moment, then the next vote submitted from someone who hadn't voted
yet that day, will decide the winner. Thanks to Kevin for this information: All the Cardcaptors cToons on Cartoon Orbit have been bought.
The only way you can get one is if you buy it on an Orbit Auction. It's very rare. Even if you find one, it would sell for almost
1,000 points at a minimum. Good Luck. Wow I'm glad I got mine when they were first available.
Sept 28, 2002 - Joined a new Top Site. Thanks to Michelle M for helping me fill in a
some of the gaps in the Mexican Episode Listing on the CC International Page. Also
on the same page, updated the XEWT data for those who are recording Cardcaptors in Spanish in San Diego, CA, USA. Those following
the Tournament, there is currently a TIE RIGHT NOW!!! Send in your votes! Voting closes Sunday at 7:00 PM sharp (EST)!
Sept 27, 2002 - Check out MichaelsFavorites.com
for new updates to other sites I have. Many of the above contests end this weekend so check them
out now, and enter or place your votes! Speaking of votes, Kyle's Cardcaptors has retaken the lead in the
Tournament of the Clow Cards! Be sure to
email your vote everyday! Please help! Anyone that knows any of the Kids WB Win-A-Rama Prize Codes, please send them to me.
I want to post them on the main portal site, but my work schedule has prevented me from finding them out all week. Thanks!
Sept 26, 2002 - I have a new affiliate called The Terri Tori.
It's a cute site just starting out, but check out the Tori Couple Possibilities. Just found out about a contest on Cardcaptors Cosmos,
see banner above. Avalon Heaven has a nice new layout. On
Clocks Page 1, added a new image thanks to Amber-chan.
Sept 25, 2002 - Check out Stationary Page 19
for 5 new Cardcaptor Sakura Memo images. The email voting for the tournament is going well The lead changed hands today as Sakura
Forever took a slight lead over Kyle's Cardcaptors. Is the Sword mightier than the Arrow? Stay tuned...
Sept 23, 2002 - I have a new affiliate called CCS Crazy!
YEAH! The next round in the voting for the Tournament will be from The Lightning League with Kyle's Cardcaptors, representing the Arrow Card, against
Sakura Forever!!!, representing the Sword Card. Interesting fact for this round of competition, both of these great sites are affiliates with me, and
affiliates with each other. Cool.
Sept 22, 2002 - The last clash of the tournament has ended. This was a very close battle between
two excellent sites. Here's what the stats were when I ended it this morning: Sakura Premium had 530 votes, minus the illegal 139 votes
from last night (read on to learn more) = 391. Sakura Universe had 394 votes. Very close indeed. Congratulations to both sites for doing very well.
Yes I do check the tournament statistics about 10-15 times a day (sometimes more) to make sure
things are running ok and there's no cheating going on. I don't vote myself. Well look what I saw: Saturday night from 10:47-11:00 PM EST, I watched as
someone voted 139 times in the span of 13 minutes for Sakura Premium just by refreshing the page and watching the numbers increase again and again and again. It was pretty evident
what was going on from my end. I don't know who was doing it or why, but whoever it was has no honor and cannot follow the rules of only voting once per day.
Is that so hard? So in effect, their efforts will not help as those votes will not count in the end. I get the final say anyway in a situation like this, so those votes will be
subtracted from the final total when I end the voting. This is why I didn't want to use polls in the first place because of those select few who would
abuse the system. Now on to the good stuff: Thanks a bunch to Jen, added Chapter 3 of her wonderful Fan Fiction
called "Magical Twist." New episode information from India has been added to the CC International page, courtesy of Revathy. My affiliate BBCCS
has a brand new link and a sweet new layout. Also updated the link on my affiliates page.
Sept 20, 2002 - S+S Shrine
has created a new S+S Shrine Network. It's a nice network and I
encourage those with sites to join. You get a free award for joining as well! Speaking of Awards, on
Page 29 added the S+S Network
award. Another network to see is called the "Spinny
Baby Network". Also the other day I joined the new Angel
Wings Top Sites. Thanks to BradW, updated the CC
International page with new episode data from Australia. Today they
completed Season 2. A total of 70 Cardcaptors episodes have been seen in Australia. Why couldn't the US do that?
Sept 19, 2002 - Anyone interested in having a professional CCS Costume made in time for Halloween
should check out Mystic Creations Inc. For those that have asked,
I check the Tournament Statistics about 10-12 times a day, making sure things are running smoothly. I do
NOT vote myself as I have to stay impartial since I'm hosting it in the first place. Who do I want to win or who are you rooting for? I'm rooting for a successful
tournament, not a single site to win. There hasn't been one created like this before so I hope there is a big turnout in the voting and everything goes ok. I'll try to change
the background sounds and voting images to keep things new and different. If anyone wants to submit a VOTE NOW image (I'm using Meilin pointing
her finger at you now), please send them in and I'll work them into the tournament page. Thanks!
Sept 18, 2002 - New data from Australia has been added the the CC International page.
Cardcaptor Sakuraholics is looking for more affiliates so
anyone interested, please check out her site. BBCCS
and Magik are currently on hiatus for reconstruction. I hope they come back soon.
Updated the Great Links to See Page with new sites and updated links. For Yu-Gi-Oh fans, I added 20 new WAV files on that page.
Check left for the MichaelsFavorites.com link.
Sept 17, 2002 - Thanks to
Angel Wings added a new My Buddy award to Page 29. Added a new
Meilin voting image on the Tournament of the Clow Cards page yesterday, but
forgot to mention it here. On Wands Page
1, added a new image there, and updated information
on the first three images on the same page. Check out the Press
Releases page and click the link to see lots of images from the Singapore
Cosfest 2002 that took place this past weekend.
Sept 16, 2002 - Congratulations to Cardcaptor Dreams for advancing in the tournament.
This week features the first clash from The Dragon Champions side with
Sakura Premium, representing the Mirror Card,
against Sakura Universe, representing the Firey Card. Both are excellent sites.
Both are excellent Clow Cards. This will be a tough battle for both!
Visit the Tournament of the Clow Cards and cast your vote today, after you've visited each site first.
Sept 15, 2002 - Blue Moon is looking for staff members and
new affiliates to help spread the word and promote his multi-anime web site. Blue Moon is also my newest affiliate! YEAH! Affiliates Rule!!
Sept 14, 2002 - Special thanks to Cindy for the new banner.
Avalon Heaven has a new link so check that out. Updated Affiliates page.
Sept 12, 2002 - In the marketing section, check out new pages 5 - 8 in the Fast Food
Toys for 13 new images from Hardee's.
Sept 11, 2002 - Everyone please say a prayer today.
Always remember this: "No Surrender, No Retreat" and we will not be intimidated by
those who would commit such cowardly acts. Man it's a good thing I used the Lock Card to hold back the Fight, Shot, Sword, Arrow, Power, Firey, and a few other
Clow Cards. Boy are they mad and looking for some action. I feel the same way myself, but that's what the International Coalition is doing for us in the
Middle East. Read the last part of the Sept 9 update below for more information on what happened to me last year, since I work close to
Washington DC. Ok, back to the basics, on DVD Page 6, added 2 new images
for cover art to Volumes 4 and 5 from Australia. Also updated the CC International Page with more data from Australia, thanks to Angela.
Sept 10, 2002 - Anybody know what happened to Star Cardcaptor?
When I visit the site all I get is a white screen. Also I tried to email the owner, but the email was undeliverable.
See the Press Releases Page. Added a new contest link above for you to participate in. Made lots of updates on my Jackie Chan and
Yu-Gi-Oh web sites, visit Michael's Favorites for more details. The Tournament is
underway, with Cardcaptors Rocks, representing the Power Card, and
Cardcaptor Dreams, representing the Hope Card, in competition in the very first
Round 1 Clash of the Week! Good luck to both sites! BTW, for those that have asked, even if your site is not in the tournament this year,
you can still post the mini banner, linking to the tournament page, to help promote the
contest. Spread the word, the more exposure the better. Thanks!
Sept 9, 2002 - Sakura Orange
is my newest affiliate! YEAH!!! Updated the Affiliates page, fixed a couple links there too. Voting for the "Tournament
of the Clow Cards" starts today. Be sure to visit the all the sites participating and vote for your favorite. Please only vote once per day to make
it a fair contest. Thanks to Cardcaptors Rocks, added her Great Affy Award to
Page 28. Thanks to
Sakura Forever!!!
for the idea, added an American Flag background to the main page. This is in honor of all our families and friends affected by the events of September 11,
2001, including myself.
My Dad was at the Pentagon all day briefing clients the Monday before the event took place, and after I heard what happened, I couldn't
get in touch with him at all. Thank goodness for email as I received one that afternoon at 1 PM telling me he was
ok. Can you imagine what I was thinking for those very long 4 hours??? There is
no honor in what those terrorists did.
Sept 7, 2002 - Thanks to Revathy, new data from India has been added
to the CC International Page!
Special thanks to all the sites who entered the tournament. I was most impressed that just about all of them had already posted the linking
mini banner for it. * stary eyes * Thank you everyone! Added a new contest banner above for you all to participate
in from SCC. Please enter the S+S
Shrine's Tomoyo Contest. She hasn't gotten any entries yet so please help her out. Thanks.
Sept 6, 2002 - The 16th entry has been received. All slots in the tournament have been filled.
YEAH! I knew my friend faerie lights from Sea of Stars would come through for me. I received the graphics for the 2002
Tournament of the Clow Cards
today, so be sure to visit the contest page as it is up now. Let me know honestly what you think about the layout, as it took quite a while to do. Does
it look ok? Modified the background on the main page here. I made a couple to which and use from time to time. I
kind a like the Clow Cards in the background.
Sept 5, 2002 - Thanks to Maddy, added a new wallpaper to
Page 6. Thanks to everyone that has
entered the tournament. We have 15 entries! YEAH!!! Only 1 open slot left. As soon as Faerie_Lights
from Sea of Stars emails me with the main banner and linking
mini banners, I'll post the Tournament page for all to see, then when the grid is full, we'll start. According to Emily in Canada, Teletoon
has changed their schedule for the fall lineup. Cardcaptors is now on every Saturday from 4:00 - 5:00 PM.
Updated the CC International Page accordingly.
Sept 4, 2002 - SEND YOUR ENTRY FOR THE TOURNAMENT OF CLOW CARDS! A total of 9 sites have entered so far! Looking
for 7 more to fill up the tournament chart!! See above. Thanks to Y Velasquez, added her submitted
Fan Art on Page 2! So you say you got an email from me and it didn't sound like me, or the
email was large in file size, yet when you open it up, it's empty? I have an explanation: There is a computer virus going around that is fooling a
lot of people because it changes it's subject line every time to something generic that most people would open. Besides sending it to various people in
your address book, it also picks other email address from your address book, creates a new email, uses those addresses as the from email and randomly chooses
who it goes to from the address book. I must get the virus like twice a day from others. I've gotten it so much I recognize many of them. Usually the
email is 124-135 KB in size, but when you open it up in hotmail, the email is empty. It's only when you forward the email you see: << multipart1 >>
and you know you got the virus then. It's not harmful to your computer, but can clog up email servers.
Sept 3, 2002 - Removed the August contest only links and added brand new September links above for you to participate
in. Thanks to Kevin from Sakura Forever, Michael's Cardcaptors won 1st place in his August 2002 Contest.
YEAH! Thank you all who voted for me! Award posted on Page 28!
Sept 2, 2002 - According to Sara in Canada, Cardcaptors is no longer being shown on Teletoon.
Updated the CC International page with that and other character information.
Sept 1, 2002 - Winners of the fan fiction contest have been posted. Thanks to CCSINJAPAN, new data
from the Philippines has been added to the CC International Page. I'm very proud of all the fans from around the world in helping make the
CC International page a big success! It's your dedication that helps me a bunch, and I'm truly
grateful! On Anime Cels, page 13, added 3 new images showing 16 cels I have from "Out of
Bounds", one of my favorite episodes. The SCC August Graphic Contest has ended for submitting entries. Very soon now you'll be able to vote for your
favorites. See all the magnificent entries here
(I entered many modified images myself), and I thought my judging was difficult.
Aug 31, 2002 - Thanks to Long Chau
for the new banner. Also added a new background from TAO. I think the Clow
Cards on the light blue looks cool. Thanks to ScoobyKrissy, added the 4th and final chapter to her fan fiction "One Bad Trip."
All shipments from the contests are ready (except the fan fiction contest) and will be mailed on Tuesday. I plan on finishing up all the fan fiction from the Tuesday contest this
weekend. For those that have asked how I can do all this work and not have the
fan fictions judged yet, I've done some web development at work during my lunch
break, which has allowed me to update other parts of the site as well. I get
home and copy the files over.
Aug 30, 2002 - Thanks to BradW, more updates to the CC International page from Australia.
Also updated some data from the United Kingdom as well. I have not one, but two affiliates participating in Avalon Heaven's Site of the Month Contest. I voted
for one yesterday and the other today. Good luck to all! Only two days left to enter theSCC August Graphic Contest!
Aug 29, 2002 - The Cel
Guessing contest winner has been posted on that page, check left. There was a drawing for the winner. I'm still working on the fan fiction judging. My
affiliate MG's Palace has changed her site and is now called Crystal
Ice Palace with a new link as well. She is looking for affiliates too so please email her and ask to
affiliate with her wonderful site. Thanks to Revathy, more updates from India on the
CC International page.
Also added the most complete English Voice Actors listing for Cardcaptors you've ever seen. I've spent hours and hours checking all the
Voice Actors pages on the Internet I could find. Some would have some names here and there, but not all of
them. I'm missing a few though so it's not totally complete, but it's pretty darn close. Any help on that would be most appreciated. Also updated the Japanese Voice Actors and added many I was missing
before. Got caught up on all the Ask Michael/FAQ questions and posed those too. Tournament of Clow Cards, coming soon...(see August 26th update).
The August 2002 contest at Sakura Forever has been shut down due to cheating in the voting polls. A phrase I
learned a long time ago always stuck with me, "if you have to cheat to win, then you don't deserve to play." No one is sure who was doing what,
but it was obvious someone wasn't doing the right thing. Oh well. Remember, "Integrity is the Highest Priority."
Aug 28, 2002 - There was a drawing for the CCS Trivia contest since 4 people got them all correct.
The winner is posed on the Wednesday page. The winner and all the other great entries from the Comic Strip have been added to the Thursday contest
page too. Would the winner please contact me. I tried to email you to verify the shipping address, but your email account is full. Thanks to Revathy, new data from India posted on the CC International page.
England and Australia data updated too. Joanna made me two new Link to Me buttons and I added those to my Link to Me page.
Check out the Sakura Forever contest here
and help me out.
Aug 27, 2002 - According to my friend Emily, Sakura-blossoms.net was
deleted so that means Clow Mansion and Blue Eyes were deleted too. Take care Emily! I know if that happened to me I would be devastated so everyone please
let her know you look forward to seeing her sites return. She will work on her sites and hopes to have them up by Christmas time. Added 4 new Happy B-Day images to My Gifts
Page 8. Thanks to Tran Luyen, added a new Wallpaper to Page
6. Judging for the Fan Art contest is complete. The winner and all entries have been posted. Check left for link to Monday's Contest. After seeing all the
wonderful fan art, you'll understand why it took me so long to choose a winner.
Aug 26, 2002 - I posted the answers to the CCS Trivia and the CC Cel Guessing trivia contests, check left.
This way you'll know how you did before hand. Please don't email me asking if you won or when I'll post the winners.
I have a lot of fan fiction to read, fan art to judge, bla bla bla. These are important contests so I want to be as fair as possible
in the judging for all of them. It will be a few days. My birthday went well, thank you to all those that sent me e-cards and b-day images, which I still
have to post as well, maybe tomorrow. Thanks to all those that voted for me in the Sakura
Forever contest. I really appreciate it. Also coming in September, I'll be teaming up with Faerie Lights from Sea
of Stars to create a real Tournament of Clow Card Web Sites (working title only). This contest will involve 16 web sites.
It will be run in a tournament style, where two different web sites will battle it out each week, and the winner moves to the next round
of battle, representing their team and favorite Clow Card. The layout has already been created and team names chosen. I've already asked
a few sites if they want to participate already. Please don't send any applications or anything. We'll start that next week when I have
time and all the judging from my contests are complete. This is the first tournament-style contest of its kind for CCS/CC fan sites that
I know of. I like this idea better than voting for your favorite out of 10 to choose from all at once. Only voting for two at a time is
much better.
Aug 25, 2002 - Happy Birthday to ME! On my Gifts Page 7,
added 3 new Happy Birthday images sent to me from Amanda, Super Sakura Kinomoto, and Joanne. THANK YOU! If you want to wish me a happy birthday, could you please help me out in
a contest MCC is participating in? Please click here and vote for Michael's
Cardcaptors in the Sakura Forever contest. Thank you all!!! Apparently Catch You has received 30 votes in 3 hours to take the lead in the contest, according to the
webmaster hosting the contest. That's a bit suspicious to me, but you make the final judgment. Also joined a new Top Site from KCP, YEAH!
Aug 24, 2002 - Clow Secrets UK
is my newest affiliate! YEAH! I'll be judging all the contests for the next 3-4 days. Please don't email me asking if you
won, I'll post all the winners as soon as I can.
Aug 23, 2002 - Thanks to Tony C from New Zealand and BradW in Australia, MAJOR updates added to the CC International page.
According to Sky Television, it looks like new episodes of Cardcaptors will air until Friday August 30th, then re-runs the following weeks. This is based on the fact
that Cartoon Network in Australia is calling the new episodes Cardcaptors 2, for Season 2, and Cardcaptors for season 1.
For those who didn't get the Hardee's/Carl Jr. Cardcaptors Kids Meal toys, 3 of them are up for auction on eBay, click here.
Check left for Friday's contest, due tomorrow. Yes you can enter all the contests, as long as the entries are received on time.
I've tried to answer every email I've received. If I haven't responded to your email, don't worry, I got your entry
ok, I just have so many to go through, and save the data for each, bla bla bla.
Shipped out lots of stuff yesterday, including some surprise gifts from the Michael's Favorites 100,000 hits contest to some of the
participants. BTW, my B-DAY is in two days, YEAH!!! For those who I'm sure will ask, on Sunday I'll be 27 years old. SEE
THE PRESS RELEASES PAGE for new posts. Also, Kyle's Cardcaptors is creating a new Top Sites, see his page for updates.
Aug 22, 2002 - Thursday's contest has been
added, check left!! Silenek's CCS has a new layout.
Thanks to SkoobyKrissy, added Chapter 3 of her One Bad Trip fan
fiction. On my Personal Gifts/Thank You's Page 7,
added a Happy Birthday image courtesy of Sora from Cardcaptor Dreams, THANK YOU!
Aug 21, 2002 - Check left for Wednesday's Contest link. Special thanks to Long
Chau,
see the Home-made Wallpaper Page 5 for 2 new S+S Wallpapers!
Aug 20, 2002 - 5 days until my B-Day! Thanks to ScoobyKrissy, added Chapter 2 of her fan fiction "One Bad Trip" which
is the first Cardcaptors/Yu-Gi-Oh! crossover. Sam sent in Episode 8 of his fan fiction "After the First Star Card." Both are
great! Tuesday's Fan Fiction Completion contest link has been added. Check left everyone!!! My affiliate
Sakura Heart has a nice new layout. In case I didn't post this before, MCC is the
Site of the Month on Platinum.
Aug 19, 2002 - Contests for the fans begins today! See the left side for links. These contests are in celebration
for the 2nd Anniversary of Michael's Cardcaptors and my birthday on the 25th. It's my way of saying thank you to the fans for visiting my
web site, your help, and continued support to build on and make site as best it can be. Added Catch You's contest button/link above.
Aug 18, 2002 - New information straight from India and Ireland has been added to the CC International pages,
courtesy of Revathy and Anna S. respectively. In the Gallery Section, added a link to Sakura Sunrise's
Neighborhood Guide, which I helped on a bit.
