Throwback Thursday
In the beginning there was a Yahoo Group!
June 14, 2005
I just wanted to post a quick message.
Hello to all who join… Thanks for joining and I really hope everyone
will have fun and participate.
I was so shocked when a week later if that we had hit 100 members *hah*

Then there was a Blog!
July 29, 2012
Welcome to the Sylum Blog.
The idea for this blog is to have a place where the Bobs can rant, plot, and torment their authors.
Forum to showcase what Inspires Sylum Writers: Music, Art, Books, etc.
Sites, Books, and other elements that the Sylum Writers use to Research ideas for Sylum Stories.
Discussions/Articles on writing.

Sylum has come a long way! So anyone on the blog remember the list? The early years of the list? Or if just discovered Sylum through the Blog – how did you get here?
I was on the list, but I discovered BJ Jones on FF.net when I accidentally found a story that had the plot of Speed being Harry Potter in hiding with several characters (Hermione, Pomfrey) as part of the CSI Miami team (and Horatio was a Malfoy). I looked for it again and found that she also was on another website and had one of her own. I took to the Sylum site very quickly. When I finished the stories that BJ had on her site, I joined the list to see when she was going to add to any of her stories. I sure am glad I did. I was more interested in the stories, but I enjoyed the interaction between the people. I would have joined in more, but I was going to school for nursing and that took up a lot of time. Now I just can’t get on Sylum at work. The hospital system just won’t let me.
Wow that’s an old series I have t thought about in a while..
I always like hearing how people find Sylum it so diverse
I actually joined the list in the early days. Sylum was so diverse and I loved the fact that while the premise of vampires was used it was done in a new and unique way. Speed and Horatio in Sylum was actually my first exposure to them as a pairing and it made me love them.
Been on the list since pretty much the beginning. Found the series through one of the old CSI archives that’s long been defunct. Was there for all the fun and all the drama, lol.
I don’t remember if I joined the Yahoo list first, or the LiveJournal hoard following the General. I do know that McGee and Hannibal dragged me along, and I kind of got swept up into the periphery of the RP Clam. I poke my my head in every now and then to catch up on new shenanigans, but I really miss the heyday of the List.
I do miss the list sometimes … not sure on the amount of emails but the atmosphere of it.
