Brianne will be taking over this site I’ll still be around for technical stuff (I’ll still be hosting it, I’m sure) and should things be different in a few months or so, I may come back in some role at some point.

Thanks so much to Bri for adopting this site She’s one of the few people I’d trust with it!

It’s with a heavy heart that I post this today. This site was my first real online project to last more than a few months and it’s been online off and on for almost six years, but I can’t ignore that the priorities in my real life are shifting. I will be attending Rutgers University in the fall with an eye towards applying for graduate school in the spring. General Hospital is not an enjoyable show for me and it hasn’t been in some months. I can no longer justify to myself the hours I spend every week recording, ripping and doing other GH related projects when I don’t have the time.

This site has been renewed through the end of next March. It will remain online until at least that point, when I will reevaluate the situation. Perhaps General Hospital will have improved by then and I can justify it to myself.

Thanks for visiting the site over the years and I hope you can understand my decision.

The last month or so of my school semester was absolutely insane and I barely had time for my beloved Phillies baseball games I was very bogged down in studying and working on finals. However, that’s all behind me now and I’m eager to get back to work!

There were some rumors swirling that Megan Ward (Kate), Rick Hearst (Ric), Greg Vaughan (Lucky) and Becky were all getting knocked to recurring status. This week, I found that it was true for Megan and Rick, but I’ve heard that Becky just recently resigned a contract extension. There’s no confirmation from anyone, but I’ll keep you posted.

This catches me up with magazine scans and with episode stills from the last three months. Screencaps and videos are available at Crimson Glass Media, videos through March 26 and screencaps through February 26. Both of those should be more current by the end of the week with a little bit of luck.

I know I have affiliate requests floating around. Please be patient I have a lot more updates, but I’m getting to everything as quickly as possible.

This weekend, I will be updating the layout and linking to Becky’s specific days, but for now, I just wanted to post the link for the new archive that I talked about earlier. No one seemed to have any specific complaints regarding this, so in an effort to get caught up, I decided to go for it. All the details will be ironed out in the next few days.

For screencaps, the first week of February is available, more of February will be available by the end of Sunday. Videos are posted through February 10 and I expect to have those caught up by Sunday as well — and those are posted through January.

I really feel that this method will free up my attention for other things, and I hope to get caught up on a backlog of magazines this weekend.

The videos and screencaps are linked in the navigation: Crimson Glass Archives.

If you’ve visited any of my sites, you know that I tend to run very behind sometimes with screencaps and/or video clips. I have a busy school schedule and I didn’t realize just how much time I was going to be spending this semester on chemistry, public speaking and all that other rot. I just got accepted for transfer to Rutgers for a more intensive program next year, so here is what I’m up against.

I don’t think I’m going to be able to continue updating each site with screencaps and video clips individually. I know I just reopened the site, but I’ve got to be realistic with my time. My solution is to create on large GH archive with full episodes and screencaps. I know this might be a pain initially to to get specific screencaps, but it has a lot of benefits. I won’t have to five individual sites to organize and upload screencaps for, so I’ll be able concentrate on press archives, and layouts and other new features for all my sites.

So what do you say?

ETA: Doesn’t look like the poll works. Please just reply with your thoughts on the situation. Do you hate the idea? Would you be able to deal if it meant the site would be open? The clips and screencaps would still be HQ, I just wouldn’t have to worry about sorting them by actress any longer.

Apologies for the delay in this update. The semester has started and I got a little swamped with homework. Updates will probably be confined to weekends.
