Hi all,
I sent Brandy an email and it was returned with the infamous "person does not exist" response. So ... does anyone know where Brandy DeWinter is now? I would love to send her an email.

I get the following error when I send my email to Brandy:

Brandy
She has always responded to me when I use the email addy listed on her site. It sometimes takes a while, once as much as a couple of months. I last heard from her just before she released Sisters. She told me she had another idea she was working on back then. I haven't seen or heard anything since. I hope she has made a move to move her works to another site, since those geocities sites she has will be shut down in just as few days. Tanya Allan just opened her new site and said it was free. I hope Brandy and others with geocities sites take advantage somewhere so we don't lose their works. I would download everything possible soon, just in case. I have [email protected] as her addy.
Is that still on?
Is Yahoo still going to close Geocities and thus Brandy De Winter's site? I love her stuff! If so I have a busy weekend building an archive.
Hugs!

As far as I know
They still intend to close geocities in just a few days, like on the 6th. I could have that date wrong. I haven't noticed anything saying differently. Yahoo just released a new toolbar and I don't recall seeing geocities in available buttons for it. If the sites shut down with bandwidth overload as they often do, and you can't get to all the stuff, I have it all saved in three places, just in case. I DO NOT have all her artwork though. Some I saved as text only since back then all I had was dial up and no way to save the pics anyway, until recent ones came out.
Geocities
Actually is the 26th not the 6th.
The "Internet Archive" site will try to archives has many geocities site has possible. More info here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/geocities/close/close-17.html
But for those who have a geocities email address. ex: [email protected], the emails will not be deleted and still be functional ( info: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/geocities/close/close-16.html )

There's 27 of her stories still up on the Fictionmania site!

I know for a fact that some Geocities sites are down already
I had archives on several sites, all gone now. Hopefully, Internet Archive still has them:
