Hi,
Everyone and Happy Holidays! Some of you might have noticed that our site(s)
have been up and down since around Thanksgiving. The hosting company that
hosted our site has been ignoring our emails about the problem and after our
site was down for five days starting December 5th and then went
completely belly-up this week, they finally posted a notice on one of their
server sites that the server hosting our site had had a hard drive failure.
They still ignored our emails and our trouble tickets. They said that anyone
who was hosted on this server should “contact them” to have their sites moved
to another server. To date, they have yet to reply to the trouble ticket I
placed with them. So, I am in the process of moving Ashton Press to another provider.
Consequently, large portions of the site will no doubt be very slowly returning
or remain missing until I can get pages uploaded and/or updated. Parts of the
site are probably going to be hosted elsewhere, which means I will have to
recode some pages. So, please bear with me. I am going to concentrate on
getting the fanzine, photo and cartoon pages, as well as Our Stargate back up
first since those are used by the most visitors.
Alias Smith & Jones Fan Fiction Archive – Gen stories
written by a number of different writers, all archived in one handy-dandy place
for fans of this wonderful Western series. There is also an Alias Smith & Jones Adult
Fan Fiction Archive! Since I had to upload so much of these sites again anyway,
I completed the move off of AOL and all of the stories we host are now on our
own server. I also updated some author’s email addresses. I have some story
updates to make and hopefully those will be done shortly.
Artwork
by Leah Rosenthal — The main jumping off point for Leah’s various wild and
wacky cartoons or lovely serious drawings. You'll also find links to some of
our other artwork/cartoon sites for Highlander, Stargate
SG-1, Blakes 7 and other shows as well as all the news
and updates about Leah’s artwork. We’ve added lots of new cartoons over the
last few months, so check out the Toonarama (Buffy/Ground Force and more!) and
the Startoons (Stargate) sites!
Ashton Press Fanzine Feedback
Site — Rather self-explanatory. A site with letters of comment that we’ve
received about our various fanzine publications. We’d love to hear from more of
you and so would the authors and artists involved!
Ashton Press FanQ Site — Thank
you to all of you who nominated and voted for Ashton Press publications, artists
and authors for Fan Q awards in 2003 and 2004! We were honored to see our zines
and contributors nominated and/or winning in the Highlander, Stargate and
Multi-Media categories. Ashton Press winners are all listed at our FanQ Site.
Congratulations to all the winners in every category!
Bizarro — At this site, you'll find artwork and text relating to Bizarro
7, the humorous Blakes 7 universe created by Leah
Rosenthal & Ann Wortham.
Bizarro Cattery — If you want to see some of the most
beautiful cats in the world, including a gorgeous, exotic breed called the
Somali, have a look at our cattery site! Lots of photos of our American
Shorthairs (blue tabbies, silver tabbies and brown tabbies), our Somalis (reds,
blues and ruddies) and our beloved Household Pets.
Book Reviews/Recommendations — Book reviews related to fan
series such as Highlander, Blakes 7, Babylon 5, fannish activities, and other
subjects that fans might found of interest such as ancient history, mythology,
Celtic lore, and so on.
Calendars from
Ashton Press – Currently available: Stargate SG-1 cartoon calendars, two
Highlander cartoon calendars, two multi-media cartoon calendars, two Michael
Shanks photo calendars, Adrian Paul, and two Peter Wingfield photo calendars.
Customizations always available. Brand new designs now available for 2006 and
more on the way!!!
Clan MacMeow – A site dedicated to photos of Highlander fan’s furry cat
friends.
The Daniel Friendly Zone — A site full of buttons and banners
and links for fans of the character of Daniel Jackson as portrayed by Michael
Shanks and James Spader. Recent updates include new banners and lots more links
to Daniel Friendly sites.
“Danny” Bears — Bears that are dressed
to look like Daniel Jackson from Stargate. There are photos on this site of my
own collection of bears of many kinds. But all the ones left to purchase are
gone at this time.
Donan Woods — Devoted to the character of Cassandra from Highlander:
The Series. The page features links to web fan fiction, reviews of zine
fiction, links and articles on witchcraft and paganism, information on the
ancient Celts, a Cassandra timeline, information on ancient Egypt, herbal lore,
photos and convention information about Tracy Scoggins and more!
Ebay
Store — Our auctions often feature out-of-print fanzines (Star Wars,
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, Forever Knight, Blakes 7, Highlander, Indiana
Jones, Battlestar Galactica, and much more!), photos (including candid
shots of the stars), books, videos and much, much more.
Fan
Fiction — Stories written primarily by Leah Rosenthal & Ann Wortham.
We are also hosting a few stories by other folks, some new, some old, as well
as stories co-written by Ann Wortham and/or Leah Rosenthal with other people.
Most of the stories at this site are long out of print and not available
elsewhere. Fandoms you’ll currently find on the site: Stargate SG-1,
Highlander, Alias Smith & Jones, Blakes 7 and Beauty &
the Beast. You'll also find a story index here of where to find the
various stories written by Leah Rosenthal and/or Ann Wortham over the years.
Fan Fiction by Leslie Fish — Highlander stories written by Leslie
Fish.
Fan Fiction Recommendations — This page lists some of our
favorite Highlander writers to be found on the internet. It is
not a review site. If you don't want to read critical reviews (which might be
good or bad) but simply want recommendations, this is the place for you. It's
also a nifty place to find links to some of the best Highlander
writers around (in our opinion, of course). The recommendations are not limited
to writers of Cassandra stories. (If you do want to read reviews, check out our
Reviews at Donan Woods.) We've expanded this site to include
recommendations of writing in other fandoms besides Highlander,
including Buffy The Vampire Slayer, X-Files and Blakes 7.
We also added some new Highlander recommendations!
Fanzines
from Ashton Press — We have zines
available in many different fandoms, including Highlander, Blakes 7, Man
from UNCLE, Stargate SG-1, Rat Patrol, Star Wars, Alias Smith & Jones, the
Western genre, and multi-media. We carry both adult and "gen" titles.
At this link you'll find details about all of our zines, including excerpts of
text, samples of artwork, and descriptions of zine contents. We’re accepting
submissions for a whole slew of new Stargate zines, including some brand new
titles. Our newest zines are Redemption 7 (Stargate gen anthology), Pretense 8 (Stargate
slash anthology), First
Prime (Stargate slash novel, Daniel/Teal’c), Startoons (Stargate
artwork parody zine), Highlander
Bizarro Style (Highlander artwork parody zine). What Dreams May Come
(Stargate Gen Novel) is in the works. We’re accepting submissions for Stargate
SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Numb3rs and Boston Legal zines.
Favorite STARGATE SG-1 Links — Links to lots of Stargate sites
you might enjoy.
Fun Links — Click here to go to some fun fannish links you might
enjoy!
Hellhound — This is a
special site devoted to the Hellhound Blakes 7 universe that has been
published in numerous issues of Ashton Press zines over the years. You'll find
a story index, timeline, artwork, text excerpts, articles relating to
Hellhound, reviews and the like here.
Highlander Holy Ground Forum Mid-Week
Challenges — The Mid-Week Challenge archive has
been heavily updated up through November, 2002. The Christmas entries from last
year are also at the Holiday Fan Fiction site. I’ll get caught up eventually!
Holiday Fan Fiction — Stories from
various fandoms, including Stargate SG-1, Blakes 7, Highlander, The
Sentinel, Magnificent Seven, Enterprise, Alias Smith & Jones, The Real
Ghostbusters and many more. If you have a holiday story you’d like us
to host or to link to, please let us know! This site will be available
year-round and I am happy to accept updates for it at any time.
Our Stargate Discussion Forum — Come visit us
to see our redesign with lots of interviews with cast and crew, convention
calendar, convention photos and reports, and more. A Delphi discussion forum
for all aspects of Stargate and “Classic” Stargate SG-1.
We now have links to chats with Stargate celebrities, interviews, VCR Watch,
ratings, spoilers, episode polls and much more. This site is updated quite
often with chats, interviews, Q&As, and more.
Photos — Latest
conventions added (complete with artwork, photos and con reports): TulsaTrek
and Vulkon SciFi (see banners at top). Coming soon: Burbank and Gatecon 2004,
as well as others! You'll find lots of links to our various photo sites here.
Shamelessly
Shanks — A site with pretty pictures of Michael Shanks (and a few of
James Spader on the way, too!). Unashamedly shallow drooling material. Screen
caps from Andromeda, All Around the Town, The Test, Twilight Zone and Door to
Door with more on the way.
Submission
Guidelines — If you are interested in submitting stories or artwork
to some of the upcoming fanzines, click here to view our submission guidelines.
We also host a small bit of fiction by other authors on our Donan Woods
website, on our Ashton Press fan fiction site and lots and lots of authors at
our Holiday Fan Fiction site, our Mid-Week Challenge site and our Alias Smith
& Jones archive. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
