June 24: Tenth Anniversary Week begins!
Ladies, gentlemen, zombies, aliens, vampires, and robots... this site is now ten years old.
Okay, technically we turned 10 earlier this month, but I've long since lost track of the exact date. We used June 24 for the second-anniversary event, so I figured we'd use it for this one too. The important thing is, back in June 2000 (whoa), or roughly ten years ago (yikes), when I was ten years younger (not really, right?), I created a little something called Five-Minute Voyager. We've had our ups and downs, but most sites don't last nearly this long. Naturally, that calls for a celebration. We're taking this one a bit slower than past events -- it'll be just one item most days, not an orgy of content like AU Week or something. But that content will be worthy of the occasion, with plenty of new material from me (including some that's long-awaited), and more from the staff and other contributors. What's more, by the time the event is over, things will look quite a bit different around here. I call it all Tenth Anniversary Week. What, no theme? Ten is the theme. The word ten, the number 10, the numeral X, whatever. All of the "week"'s content fits this theme in some way. Mostly. I mean, sorta. Occasionally it requires some... well, you'll see. Now let's get to the opening round!
Be here tomorrow when the celebration conTENues! ...Sorry, I won't do that again.

Heh. I like that Live Long and Oops piece, Zeke. Did you originally publish it somewhere else?

Stop making me feel old, Z.
As an official part of this event, I'd like to repost the link to the Angelfire version of the site: http://www.angelfire.com/scifi/fiveminute/episodes.html The copyright thingy says 2000-2001, so I think it's applicable.

Ten years? Congratulations! And here's to ten more! 8) I can't believe we've all been hanging around doing this for a decade.

Got a big kick out of "Live Long and Oops" (which I think I noticed too late on your LJ to comment on). Between that and the TJI short with Archer accidentally destroying the Whatsit Expanse, you've got quite a knack for finding explanations for continuity stuff.
Really enjoyed "Ten Little Comedians" too, although there aren't any bits that particularly stick out there, either.

Has it really been TEN YEARS since I stumbled into this website after originally finding it through VVS8? *shakes head slowly* Time sure does move along quickly & slowly simultaneously. Anyway, congratulations on the anniversary, I raise my glass to you in hopes of ten more years of wonderful Fivers!

Got the email, let my jaw hang for a bit, popped in for a visit. Congratulations, sirs.
I'll save the panel discussion for a rainy day. Those never fail to rock my world.

IT'S A DAMN LIE!
Well, okay, it's only something like eight and a half years for me personally. But still. In internet years that makes the site about fifty. I'll have some ice-cream to celebrate, I think (or at least I will after lunch). That way I won't have to go looking for my false teeth.

Wow. Ten years. Congrats Zeke. Thanks for the personal email! I can't believe it's been that long since I stumbled upon this site. Also.. how much has changed since then. I feel like we've grown up together. ::tear::
Now let's see what happens in the next 10 years.

Congrats on ten years! I looked at the link provided for the old (original?) site and wow, it looks totally...exactly the same! Such consistency is to be commended.
