Have you done all of your Christmas shopping yet? It's not long, you know! Last year we introduced our Advent Calendar, and this year we want to do it again. Here are some of the graphics (Wallpaper and icons) from last years' event, and most of the other content will be added during December. So don't forget to come back in December for the new one, will you?

Some of you like to use avatars on forums and livejournals, and today, I have made some for you to use. They are all B/A related, and you can find them here. I hope you like them.

Hail, the wandering webmistress returns! I've got a super new Essay for you. In this, DlGood ponders the… takes deep breath… BuffyverseMeta Essay: The Role of the State in Dealing with the Supernatural.

That should give you something to think about!

Blood Roses is back! Hackers may have picked our flowers, but the site blooms again! Thank you for being so patient while Mike and I do our best to get all five of my sites back online. Regular service will be resumed as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience, and please tell us if you find any bugs. See you soon!

31st May 2007
With the demise of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, interest in the fandom has dropped. People are moving onto other fandoms, and they aren't writing as much as they were. It seems too, that they aren't visiting as much as they used to either. Hits on this site have dropped twice - huge drops - in the last six months.

Most of you know that I run a whole bunch of B/A friendly sites. I only have a certain amount of computer time, and I'm wondering if its worth spending my energy on a site that no longer attracts visitors, and instead focus on the ones I know are still popular. For the record, the forum is not in jeapordy, and this site would stay open for your pleasure. It just won't get updated at all, or at least, only very rarely. I haven't made a final decision yet, so any comments you have would be most welcome - and might even influence my decision. Is anybody still there?

11th March 2007
Another month gone already? March is a rather special month, because not only is Blood Roses Four Years Old, but it is also the Buffy's 10th Anniversary! Wow - is it really that long? Today, we have two great stories for you. What We Do an Adult story from Ares, and Chrislee's The River Meets The Sea. Here's to the next four years!

Hello, gentle reader… since you have all been patiently waiting for an update, I am going to reward you with something a little special. Three something's, actually…. Because today, you see, is Blood Roses' 3rd birthday! Yay! First of all we have a smashing essay from Thekorapersonality, and her B/A Thingy. Second, we have the first part of the second cycle (stay with me, here) of Jo's Duality. (Adult index) And I know how much you've been all looking forward to that! Finally, and I'm nearly worn out here, due to the popularity of our Christmas ecards, Mike has done some lovely all-year ecards for you to use. See - wasn't that worth waiting for?
