On the news front, we do have one happy news for Thunderbirds fans as well: something is definity hinting that the upcoming CGI series, 'Thunderbirds are Go' is coming soon. Check the NEWS page as well for more information. It's not much, but it's a start!

Brilliant news on the Thunderbirds bit. Hope they do much better on the promotion on it than they did Captain Scarlet.

Hi everyone, and welcome to this week's new updates!

On the fanfiction front, we continue our posting for VMR's series 'Moments Obviously Gathered By Someone' stories for the Challenge of Five:

OCHRE SOCKS
Does Ochre plus Socks plus time equals annoyance and aggravation or amusement and a bit of cheer? ff 552 - More stories to come!

The series est scheduled to continue next week.

Also another story, which is not hosted on this website, but on the Fanfiction.net website has been listed on our Fan Fiction pages:

SAFE AT ANCHOR, RIDING THE STORM
by Macx. He should have died in Ragnarok, bleeding to death, but Adam Svenson didn't. He survived against all odds, recovering at a speed that is inhuman. But Adam is human through and through, not a Mysteron. Something happened and it's connected to his best friend and partner in the field. It might destroy them both. It might be the beginning of something new. ff 553.

Be aware that the story contains some slash and adult scenes, which is the reason you'll be required to answer the acknowledgement note on the page leading to it.

On the CAST OF CHARACTERS section, we modified some information on the CAPTAIN BLUE page, so that the presentation would be nicer on some browser. A small addition was made at the bottom of the page.

Finally, on the SID DATABASE section, drawings made by the talentuous Richard Farrell have been added to two of Keith Ansell's Fireball XL5 stories: "Paradox" and "Return to Zanadu". If you are a Fireball XL5 fan, and you didn't read these stories yet, we suggest you do - they're very entertaining. "Paradox" is also a crossover story with "Supercar".
