berry's color and ern's color.
At first there was
'Isil'Zha - The Future' - berry's glorious page, that I discovered
shortly after I got into the web.
And there was 'Ern's
Babylon 5 page' which I discovered after she wrote to me and I knew
there was a fan out there... the first fan I ever had for my page
- that actually wrote me.
Yes, I was a huge
fan and I wanted to make my own page and I had no idea about copyrights
and everything that goes with it - so I had to ask someone who should
probably know...
And then there was
SMK and our (little) obsession with Boxleitner. To make a long story
short: we ended up sending each other pictures and wavs and all
that stuff. We met, we phoned weekly... although living on opposite
sides of this country.
And then there was
that night of January 21st... I think I was up until 3 o'clock or
so... and then I had one of my bright ideas... How about making
a B5 page together?
January 22nd, I read this e-mail and I thought: 'Wow, this is bad.'
You must know I just started to make plans how to make the B5 page
the center of my domain. And then? Then I thought about ern's suggestion
and I realized that it was not bad at all. It's after all a good
step in the right direction.
If I only knew what we had started...
We had to be out
of our minds... *g*... but it was fun designing a new page. That
was the first item on our list - make a page that was different
from our former ones but should include everything we made until
then. That means after we made the design we had to put all that
funny stuff we love so much in it.
And who'd've thought that we pushed each other to the limits
with making pictures of episodes? I made 254 (in words: twohundredandfiftyfour!)
pictures of 'Messages From Earth' after ern produced a total of
456 (fourhundredandfiftysix!) pictures of 'A Call To Arms'. It was
insane and I loved it!
There are not only pictures and sounds you'll find on JumpNow. There
is much more which would never have happened if we hadn't moved
in together. *g*
We made plans to
bring some additional material in it such as the articles, a little
fanfiction archive and last but not least Babylon 5 vs. Lord of
the Rings. I read the trilogy about a year ago and I asked berry
if she knew it. She said she was just at it... and two month later
she was still in the marshes, *argh*! How could she take so much
time???
The time I read the end of 'The Lord Of The Rings' I was totally
amazed how much JMS had taken from the saga. And we HAD to do a
little segment for the page.
The page - our page. Doesn't that sound cool?
It was growing exponentially
after we made the first steps and when berry came to visit me we
had about 250MB ready for the upload *g*. But we were not finished
yet... there was still so much to do. When she was here we wrote
all these little articles with two writing colors - just take a
look at 'Season 5 - Blessing or Burden'...
And it all was TOP SECRET, too. So we couldn't really tell anybody.
Nobody was informed. It was too good to share... We were building
something that was bigger than ourselves... Only Ivanova knows how
far this is going to get. Very far, I tell you that. With the biggest
picture archive the net has ever seen.
After all we have
a lot of fun creating this page and we really don't know when it
ends to grow. We'll try to update this page very often and make
funny or wacky or weird or odd (hi, Lee!) stuff every now and then.
So, stay tuned and watch out for more!
