| NightCafe Parlor Book of Mayfair |
On those pages that came from the Original Parlor, look for "From the Archive" in the contents. Clicking on it will jump you to the bottom of the page, where you can see the screenshot(s) of those pages. The screenshots serve to further connect this site to the Original Parlor and the content from it that has been archived here.
I have not decided exactly how I'll end up doing this, but one consideration is avoiding redundancy. While I aim to establish that this all remains "my site, my rules, my coffee", and consider the possibility of integrating older content with new content, it can get redundant really fast.
By the way, I'm still wondering if anyone has any information on that script of The Witching Hour found n Sci Fi Scripts? When I looked at the site, I couldn't see any additional information, such as where it came from to begin with. The site also does not appear to have been updated in several years, and the script appears as a TXT file on it.
That was when I recalled that I'd made a PDF of it myself around the time I found it, which was in 2010. It's the same PDF I've always had on the site. I'm going to leave the PDF copy available under Downloads in case you'd like to take a look at it and would prefer to look at it as a PDF instead of going to the website I found it on.
When I went back and found the emails, there was something else Anne told me that I believe is important to pass along. Anne did tell me that scripts are typically owned by the studios that commissioned them. I've yet to take a closer look at the script since I haven't read it in many years. But I don't think even that information is there. I'll double-check, though.
It's good to know this, and now I'm trying to recall what studio, if any, might have commissioned this particular script. Again, that's assuming it was Anne's to begin with.
There is A LOT I've learned about the online world since I launched this website in 2008. The Internet itself has changed a great deal. Social media was still a very new thing at the time, and it, too, has evolved. When you create and operate a website, you find yourself learning--or trying to learn--how to be your own IT department when it comes to technology and all the things that can be added to a website. I've got two Bachelor of Science degrees, and neither of them are even remotely related to IT or technology by ANY stretch of the imagination.
Or business, for that matter.
Between traditional websites and social media, it has really become a marketplace in ways we probably could not have imagined back in 2008. We can learn all the technology and marketing we want, but when we start out, lawdy, can we be so naive!
I know I was!
I still am, although I'm trying to fix that. Really, I am.
This just flitted through my head and now I have to say it. Verified humans who have explored the content of this site and its social media probably stumbled across my 3D model of the Mayfair house (the one in the novels). Every now and then, I remind myself that it's okay if I'm accused of being obsessed with this Mayfair Witches thang.
Here's something I haven't shared before. Up until January 2023, I really didn't spend much time on my website. For a few years, I made the hopefully redeemable mistake of becoming preoccupied with something else that, by the time the Mayfair Witches series premiered on AMC, had become disheartening and traumatic. Like anything else online and ongoing that leads to turmoil, I really wanted and needed to distance myself from it.
I'd already begun my 3D model of the Mayfair Witches house of the novels and had only the double parlor created by the time Anne passed away. I had also begun to migrate content to the now gone Blogspot version of my website. That had also begun, like the 3D model, just a few months before Anne's passing. So it wasn't out of the blue that I wanted to refocus my attention on something I loved, had learned so much from and been inspired by since first reading the novels at such a young age.
Then, I reached that point where I really needed to distance myself from the situation I'd been snarled in for far too long. And it just so happened that Mayfair Witches premiered at the same time.
At first, I didn't really want to pick that moment because I was concerned that it would only be seen as an opportunity to push my site and its content even more. Then...
I thought, "Wait. I change my mind. If it helps me extract myself from this other toxic situation, perhaps it will help me do that a lot faster. If people think my reasons are shallower than that, well, so be it."
Hey, it could be a lot weirder. I could have built a 3D model of where Beauty went after waking up. I could have made 3D models of the...artifacts.
Or I could just keep it tame. You know, like...instead of Great Expectations on the 3D nightstand, it could be Story of O...
Now, THAT would be getting carried away.
