OOOO YAY!!! Jemma is so awesome! (I'm also partial to Fitz...I might end up doing a partner site or at least affiliating mine with yours xD xD)
I think they go back even further than that! :D I remember seeing some in 1996/97 (My first site was in '97 too!). It's hard to believe they go that far back. *_* Fixations do sound similar though! I haven't heard of them either but I'm very tempted to try to look for an archived version too. x3 It's fun to learn about the history like this~ <3Destinie wrote:"Shrines" have been around since 1998/1999 area and even though I have never heard of "Fixations", they do sound very similar.
Yes! I had Fixations back in the day. I'm glad someone else has heard of them. :) I ran: *NSYNC, The X-Files, Nicholas Lea (probably best known as Alex Krycek on The X-Files)... I think that's it.Eunice wrote:Hello! I'm new to shrines, though not new to fanlistings. Looking around, it struck me that shrines are rather like the old "Fixations". Does anyone remember those? The idea was, if I remember rightly, that they were like a fanlisting, and might have a clique attached, but had a lot of extra content. I rather liked Fixations and sad to see them go. So I'm glad I've "discovered" shrines!
I'm old enough to know better, married with a daughter, three hens and a cat (and a husband!) and spend far too much time messing about on't internet. And now I'm off to try building a shrine for the relationships challenge!
