WE’RE FINALLY MOVING!
Our new home is ready and waiting, and not before time. Hours of tinkering and staring cross-eyed at WordPress has left me channelling Jane Bodehouse after a few rounds with Maryann – confused, dishevelled and more often than not, blind drunk.
While most of you are snoozing early Friday morning (US time) the blog will be locked while we transfer everything to the new server. We’ve done a few test runs, and hopefully it should be seamless -you guys have made over 21 000 comments here and that’s ALOT of yammering, so let’s cross our fingers and legs and hope for the best.
A redirect will be placed on this URL on Friday. Essentially, this means that you will automatically land over at the new site when you try to come here. Redirection may take a day or two to kick in, or as little as a few hours depending on your location.
If you do find yourself here over the weekend and the place is deserted, our new URL is:
http://www.sookieverseblog.com
The blog won’t be open for posts until Friday, but our shiny new forum is ready to roll – so head over there to register and start posting any time you like.

Make sure you update your bookmarks, and you may also need to resubscribe to your feeds from the new site.
Pack your bags peeps! And the last one out the door–switch off the lights!
Booze for dolls? Sign me up NOW. I'll take ten.

yay! I’m happy for you! Even signing up for a new email confuses me, so I’m also really proud 🙂
Congrats, the new site looks fabulous! I *love* the way Eric is depicted, he looks just
like I picture him in the books!
Aw thank you Northern, I’m so glad you like. I LOVE THIS BANNER.
Everytime I look at it, I want to lick my screen.
He is Book Eric, in my head, to a T.
Kittrose (she uses Hime here) made the banner from her original artwork. When we talked about it I was all “Please can you make me book Eric?” and she came back with that. And I DIED.
OMG, I did to. And I’m at work (ssshh) and I almost fell out of my cubicle. sigh
Thank you, Hime/Kittrose. You rock!
She did an AMAZING job making the hair look natural, and the images are beautifully done. Really great work, Hime!
Although (get your rotten tomatoes handy)… I have to admit, even in the books, I really can’t get into Eric’s heavy metal hair. I JUST CAN’T.
*ducks for cover*
SHUT UP.
Don’t you take me on about Eric’s hair, lady.
IT WILL BE UGLY.
😛
LOL!
Wouldn’t DREAM of it, SVB… I value my (virtual) life! 😉
Agree with MAS about the hair 😉 Won’t say anymore!
Me too…. Season 2 hair for me…. Sorry! 🙂
Congratulations 🙂 Love the new look!
Congrats, svb. Thanks for all your hard work in creating a forum for us to discuss our SVM/TB obsessions! ❤

Congrats, Tina! 😉
I’m happy I could give my little contribute to this wonderful blog!
And guys, thanks for your appreciation! I’m glad you like my LongHairedEric (although it looks a lot like Askars still, but I can’t get him out of my head, lol)
Hime- You are so incredibly talented. Thanks so much for doing the art for the new site (even though I’ll probably have to mop up drool from my keyboard every time I see your scrumptious rendition of the Viking.)
You are incredibly talented, Hime. Hope you do that for a living! 🙂
I wish! Thanks! ^^
Thank you for the beautiful banner with eric’s real blonde viking hair! It will be a pleasure to see that when we arrive.
Good luck on the new blog site. Will be looking forward to all the new conversations:)
Cozy new home! 😀
It looks beautiful! Congrats to a great new home!
The way Black Raven Queen depicts Eric always makes me grin stupidly and tingle all over. To have to go through that every time I visit SVB…
Well, thank you, from the bottom of by heart.
OMG! BRQ is Hime? You rock lady!
Oh yes, I have sooo many names. I think I have a multiple personality, VERY multiple.
Lol. Needless to say you’re artwork is beyond beautiful! Absolute gorg. 🙂
Congratulations Tina!!! You deserve it 😉 Hime has made a wonderful work with the banner, the new blog looks wonderful as the forum, and you have achieved a great team of moderators. I am proud of you, like all of us who recognize your efforts and have seen how this blog has grown since its beginning. This is a definitely a complete new level, and as always, I wish you the best of lucks hon. Love you!!
Congrats on a job beautifully done! See you there…
Yay! cant wait
OMFG!!!!! The new blog is awesome BUT that pic of Eric makes him look like a friggen DEVIL…. WHAT GIVES?????????????
The new site looks FANTASTIC!! It’s BEAUTIFUL! Love it! Hime, you ROCK Lady! That banner is just beyond words beautiful. 🙂
Just registered…woohooo!!!!
Great job SVB!!!
Congratulations! It looks amazing! Hime, you are a wonderful artist! SVB, thank you for creating yet another space for us to muse over the wonder that is SVM and TB. How exciting!
Love the new site! Love the banner!!!!
I signed up and read the terms and I “agreed” to them but, the no “sexually-orientated” posts sentence threw me off there for a sec! LOL Well, I guess we speak our own language here sometimes, so I guess we’re all still okay talking about the GP?!?
Thank you SVB, (and all the rest of you wonderful people!) for all the work you do to entertain me!!!
omg a red corvette just turned around in front of my house, maybe it’s a sign! Of what I don’t know, Book Eric is lurking, maybe? (there are no Corvette’s in my neighborhood) LOL
Does it really say that? Those terms and conditions are the default that come with the forum install.
The forum that was obviously written by prudes, LOL.
OF COURSE you can still talk about the GP. Same rules over there as here, basically.
*Makes mental note to actually read that big boring sign up blurb*….
LOL Yes, it does say that. I thought that was an odd thing for you to write! At least I have an explanation now! 🙂 Pheww what a relief because this would be the only place I could talk or read about the GP!
😀 Glad to know that. When I read that bit I hesitated for a split second, thinking, ‘How can I agree to that, half of what we talk about is “sexually orientated”‘.
[Does it really say that?]
I have to echo this… because I didn’t read at all the paragraph HAHAHHAHHAHAHAA!!!
I’m late to the party, but I just had to add my Congratulations! and Thank you so much! You’ve done a wonderful job SVB and the new site looks amazing.
Hime, the picture/banner is fantastic! I think it’s the perfect mix of being book Eric and ASkars. You should send that pic to the TB crew for us, lol. 🙂
You aren’t late at all, so move your lady ass fast because I’m waiting you there HAHAHHAHHAHA!!!!!
Thanks to everybody! 🙂
Grrrr why do I have to be sooo busy today? I just want to get stuck into the new site!! CONGRATS SVB, looks brilliant! And yep, lovin the artwork too – you definitely SHOULD be doing that for a living Hime! See y’all on the otherside! xxx
