This is a new section of Forever thats
the whole point. I receive alot of emails from b.a shippers
complaining abut finding other good b/a sites that havent closed down--so as a result, ive created this section. Each month ill chose 1-3 sites that i feel are either new and unknown or just great b/a sites that id like to let people know about--i email the webmasters so they can write a little history of the site and what its all about...also im redoing the linear links section so the links will be all updated and good links and illl have a short summary of the sites (obviously this will take me longer). If you have a favorite b//a site that you want to share feel free to email me
Back to Main
I started watching BtVS in the beginning
of the third season. I fell in love
with B/A from the very beginning, even when I called them "Buffy
and that
cute guy."
I started my B/A site, buffynangel4ever,
in the sixth grade at the tender
age of eleven. When I first started the it, it had its home at Homestead
and
recieved a whopping average of five hits a day. Still, my obsession with
Buffy and Angel was already a year old when I started the site in 1999,
and
though I lacked anything resembling skill in web design, my site was my
passion.
For the next year or so I focused on making
my site as good as it could be.Uninterested in learning any of that "html"
rubbish, I was constantly challenged in trying to make my site noticable,
not with flashy graphics (I couldn't have made) or with cool codes, but
with content. A few months went
by and there was a closing and a reopening of bna4ever. After being befriended
by a great web desginer who took me under her wing, I started to learn
html at last and, with her help, moved my site to sphosting.com.
Buffynangel4ever didn't stay long there. Soon after, I bought my very own domain and moved it to its current home. Since its last move, I finally learned how to make graphics and now have a site that I'm completely proud of, content and graphics.
What makes my site special... This is
a tough question. Firstly, I think that its progress, though most don't
know about it, makes it special. It started out as a tiny site, hearts
background, disgusting navigation, and no content. Over the lifetime of
bna4ever, I've turned it into something that I get complimented on. It's
been my pride and joy. Of course, there are original sections (lots of
Buffy/Angel games to play, free graphics for all who need, an Ask Buffy/Angel
section, as well as two minicliques, and more.) but I carry the most pride
about how far bna4ever has come. Over the years bna4ever has fueled my
passion for B/A, even as things continue to look bleak.

Initally, "Always His Girl"
was simply a graphically-challenged place to
display my body of fic in it's entirety. However, when the lovely Rae
Summers of Fringe offered to re-do the site as a favour, "Always"
quickly
evolved into a site with beautiful graphics and an elegant layout.
Originally, it held only my fiction, but over time, I've added adoptions,
cliques, links, and a "Version DVD" section which is a "behind
the scenes"
look at my fiction, with all kinds of extras that I hoped people would
like.
I've branched out into making graphics myself, and come up with a design
that while isn't as gorgeous as Rae's, at least I can call my own.
I became interested in B/A when I saw
"Surprise". But it wasn't until I
watched "Becoming Part Two" that my passion for them was born.
I suppose
it's the drama queen inside of me! I love the angst/doom in their
relationship, and that episode was pivotal in the downward spiral their
love
took after Angelus. Fanfiction was a complete mystery to me until I started
University and recieved my own laptop. A trip to Ducks Fanfic sealed the
deal, and soon I was writing/reading voraciously.
I think what draws me to B/A is the mythic
quality to their love. It
transcends time, death, and evil- and survives. They're a modern day Romeo
and Juliet- because they continue to LIVE, and struggle, and fight, and
yet-
they know they can never truly be together, and that is tragic in ways
Joss
hasn't even begun to explore. The chemistry between DB and SMG is
undeniable, and nothing has made me stop beliving in them- not Spike,
Cordelia, or the distance between the two networks.
I'll always believe in B/A- because I believe in forever.

- I first started out hating the internet, but my sister Nicole set me up with a personal website so I could put my Buffy fiction up there. That was about four years ago, and I think...but I don't remember it very well, that the short lived site was Amy's Home on the Web. About half a year after that, I learned enough HTML to make my own page on Angelfire, Amy's Fanfiction Addiction. But my school blocked Angelfire due to misuse of school time, so I moved it and changed the name to Your Eyes. It was still mostly my stories until two years ago, when I opened it up to the public. And that's how I got started.
- At the moment, I've got a running episode guide, character lists, cast biographies, A Buffy/Angel Newsletter (down at the moment), an abundance of fanfiction, mine and that of others, fanart, links to good B/A sites, fiction awards offered to stories posted at my site, and some original vampire fiction.
- I love Buffy and Angel, the first episode of Buffy that I ever watched was Surprise, and i fell in love with the misery...but then I loved the cuteness when people started letting me borrow books and tapes of other episodes. It was way cool. And then I felt like other people needed to know that they rocked, so hence the website(s), I actually own three, but only two have a buffy theme at the moment. I'm working on a project with my friend Liz for a Buffy Awards site with a Wizard of Oz/Insane Kansans theme called Oz. So that should be open in a few weeks.

- The Idea for "Here with Me" came from the desire to share my love of Buffy/Angel with everyone else. The decline of Buffy/Angel shipper sites was disturbing and I knew, as a fan, I could do something about it. Due to the current circumstances of the shows, websites have shown that they have the ability to hold information in them to the point where a character's history/Realtionship is forever imprinted inside, what is not a book, but a world wide net of other B/A fans. "Here with Me"'s main objective is to serve it's Buffy and Angel fans and promote my love to others, in hopes that they to find the beauty in the relationship.
- In the early seasons of Buffy, while I was not an active watcher, there was something about Buffy/Angel that drew me. Whether it was the desire to have a simular Romeo and Juliet type love or the depth of the chemisrty the two shared. Either way, the full blow of B/A came after I watched BECOMIG for the first time, prior to season four. Because it was the middle of summer, I took my desire to learn more about the couple to the internet. I'd spend hours reading fanfiction and viewing sites about their love and came to the conclusion that if I wanted to really show people how I feel about the two, I'd express myself with words and a site.
The special thing about my site is the love and hard work I put behind it. I don't do it for me but for the fans. I want my site to be an example of something that I love. Something that other people love. "Here with Me" is purely a reflection of what's in my heart and I truly believe that is the reason behind it being so special.
