It's now June 2009 and I have yet to figure out where the last several years have gone. Maybe Q beamed me away to an alternate reality somewhere ;)

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who still visits and inquires about Imzadi Everlasting. It is because of each and every one of you that has written to me and signed the guest book over the last 4 - 5 years that I am making the time to update this archive now. You are all very special souls.

Here's to a better 2009 and keep your fingers crossed that I will have the additional time needed to get all the new work on the site.

Bless You All!

It's now 2004 and so I thought I would put a few thoughts here to start out the new year. =)

2003 had its share of ups and downs but we moved to a new host in July 2003 and so far things have gone extraordinarily well, and the site has stayed up!! So, for that alone - we had a great year!

I would like to thank the entire worldwide Imzadi community for your continued support of Imzadi Everlasting. I have since renewed the domain name through January 2006 and I can't wait to see what happens in the next two years.

A heartfelt thanks to all of the wonderful and very talented authors and artists who have allowed me to showcase their magnificent work and making this archive what it has become. We're starting out 2004 with over 1000 Riker/Troi stories (and constantly growing) in Ten Forward with 93 authors and 80 fan/art creations among 6 artists. It wouldn't be the place it is without all of your talents and I look forward to seeing much more from all of you as well as new authors and artists out there. ;)

I would also like to give a special thank you to Carol Sandford, without whom, some of the work you are reading in Ten Forward would not even be possible. She has allowed us to raid her personal archives on more than one occasion and for that, I am eternally grateful. You can read many of her stories via her page in Ten Forward and you can also visit her website: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/sandford1/

Have a fantastic 2004!

Make It So!

Engage!

On September 4, 2002, the unthinkable happened to this site when my hosting provider had serious problems

with one of their servers. The one that hosted Imzadi Everlasting. After working on it all day long - something

happened late that evening and they lost not only all the files on that particular server but also all the backup files.

I was notified about 10 pm my time of what had occurred and then the shock and numbness set in that

7 months of work was now gone. I didn't know if anything could be recovered.

Due to the entire Imzadi community who sent many emails offering their support, assistance, encouragement,

files they had cached and some very valuable ideas on how to recover this site - humpty dumpty has been put back

together again.

It is for everyone in this community that this site has been rebuilt. All almost 600 pages of it.

I owe a debt to this community that I can only repay by continuing to have this site out on the www.

My sincere thanks to everyone who assisted me with this massive undertaking. You have my heartfelt thanks!

Welcome to Imzadi Everlasting :) My hope is that you enjoy your stay here as much as I did in building this site. It has been quite a learning experience and my first try at web design. I have a few people to thank so please bear with me.

First and foremost - Jimmy. What an angel you are! Without your fantastic graphics and all of your assistance, this page would not even be possible. I can't thank you enough for all that you have done. My sincerest gratitude.

Also, to the wonderful and very talented authors whose work you will see showcased over in Ten Forward. These ladies allowed me the honor of hosting their work and using it to 'learn' on, my very sweet guinea pigs.. so to speak <g> I am humbled by their generosity. I can't thank them all enough for their encouragement, support, technical assistance, suggestions and just helping me to make this a nice home for their extraordinary storytelling. Copper, Deede, Di, Laura, Pam and QD - I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart!

My hope is to possibly turn this site into an Imzadi archive since we don't really have one on the great 'superhighway'. Time will tell if that is feasible. Until such time though, enjoy your stay here and I would love to hear your thoughts on the site.

Have a fantastic day!
