why create this page? consider it an effort to unite a few of my favourite things:  i.e. slash and pretty band boys (specifically local aussie acts)  i can't be the only person in the world who thinks these two things aren't mutually exclusive. 

i didn't want this only to be a place to publish my fics.  i also wanted to create a place for my fellow slashers to brainstorm and maybe cook up some new fics.  and if they choose to incorporate some of my (as yet un-slashed) band boys - well then that's all the better! 
 
why crash and burn? as most of you probably know, crash and burn is a song by savage garden from their album affirmation.  as daz and dan are the centrepiece to most of my slash this is a reference to them.  it is also a reference to a (now deceased) alternative/punk/goth club in brisbane that used to showcase a lot of my favourite bands (the living end cite it as the location for one of their best ever performances) so it seemed fateful that crash and burn was a name that could encompass the both sides of my obsession. 

why haven't i updated? i think even back when i made that last halloween 2002 update i had an inkling it might be the last in a long while. life has officially gotten in the way of fandom and with savage garden's breakup it seems there isn't a lot of point in continuing to tell stories of their fated love. but i am still very connected to this site and somewhat proud of the work in it, so i'm pleased that it is able to remain on the internet, thanks to the kindess and charity of sunhawk (steen). think of it as a time capsule. 

where am i now? after a long absence from internet fandom i have recently joined livejournal as user = ladyfoxxx and am just starting to write again as well as devouring a range of different slashy delights. i am as yet unsure which fandom or fandoms i will explore, but if you are interested in seeing my more recent work, you can certainly look me up over there. my email addy has not changed, though it did fall into neglect for some years it is also back up and running again, and being checked too! 

so now you know why, sit back and enjoy the ride.

 
 

1 october 2009 seven years later and we have moved! now hosted by the ever-generous sunhawk the site continues to exist, rather than dying off along with the rest of geocities which will cease to exist as of october 26th. unfortunately we have lost pretty much the entirety of the galleries through my own neglect, but hey they were just pictures after all! at least the fic is intact. also suffering from the years of neglect is the links page, which i am just going to leave as is for now - broken links and all. i'm happy to update addresses for any still-existing pages, but in the spirit of "time capsule-ness" that is all i'll do.

31 october 2002 can you believe it's been over a year? i most certainly can't. time flies when you're on the run, i guess. with all the time it's taken me, i *do* have a fair amount of update-ly goodness to offer. too much is complete! finite! concluded! adm-ers tune in from about part 7 to pick up where you left off. i am premiering a brand new au fic that i've been slaving over, the dark and bleak strange days. not the d&d you're used to.i've finally put up my lyric wheel fic boys who like boys and another little scrap i wrote during some letters from the heart turmoil called scraps (thanks for the pain and inspiration shaza). crash n burn also continues to plod along. in the non-fic-related agenda you'll be happy to know the links page is no longer obsolete, or anywhere near as slow to load. i've also taken this opportunity to introduce a new slash boy - such a beautiful man.... and that, my friends, is all.

6 may 2001 look! look! it's a *real* update! in fact, it's a complete overhaul of crash and burn as you know it - are you proud of me? are you satisfied? i've got a new wagger and the fairy fic - d&d and carsmut in driving lessons. too much continues (getting near the finishing line i think) as does the crossover madness of crash n burn. i've finally inducted a new entry into the slash boy hall of fame. and last but *most definitely* not least, i have the incredible pleasure of announcing a new section for crash and burn: not mine (but i wish they were), a nesting place for two wonderful authors --> sel has generously allowed me to host her unofficial wagger and the fairy series, and in a crash and burn exclusive i'm happy to present a promising new author, lina, with her fic anywhere but here (if you liked elsewhere, go and read it now!) phew! *pants* i think i need to lie down now.

4 march 2001 i can't believe it's been over a month since my last update and i still only have this pissweak offering. i've got more too much and look out people, it just keeps getting angstier. while on the crash n burn agenda, chris and darren just seem to be getting on better and better. must be the alcohol.

30 january 2001 look out! it's another dreaded pissweak update from the lazy ladyfox. as much as i'd like to do a decent update i'm afraid all i have for you is more too much and more of the x-over madness of crash n burn. please don't shoot me. i am *trying* so hard to write more of the wagger and fairy series... my muse is just being a bitch.

4 january 2001 so did you think i was dead? well i'm still breathing. this update is so pissweak compared to the last one, but if you can remember that angsty too much fic, well it's been updated. umm... that's all... *ducks flying objects*

19 november 2000 oh. my. god. this a rather major update if a do say so myself. many many things to mention, firstly - the elsewhere saga comes to its very very long awaited conclusion with two new parts. i have also crowned a new slash boy and this one has a fic to accompany him. well the start of one anyway. the angst-fest too much continues with a fairly sizeable new part. (i know i'm making darren an absolute slut in it but i don't care.) and i started to feel hella guilty that my previous two slash boys haven't yet been slashed by moi so i've slashed them with each other in paint pastel princess. i hope you're all happy out there.

7 november 2000 well after the decency of the last update i think i'm entitled to another mediocre one. the angst saga too much continues. ok now, it may look the same, but if you scroll down the page, voila! there is a new bit.

26 october 2000 ok the pressure is on - can she make this a *real* update? let's see, how about the next story in the wagger and the fairy series sleeping over??? how's that? ya happy?

16 october 2000 mini-update number three - really just dropping a note to let you know I've added more to the angsty side project too much. and make promises for a better update next time...

1 october 2000 yet another mini-update as some of my side projects begin to surface and show their ugly faces to the world. brand-spanking new (as of tuesday) the first parts of too much debut. this fic is a fatalistic view on the d&d "experimenting separately" thing. It's soooo angsty! also up is a preview of the long-time-coming savage garden/the living end crossover fic i've been penning, crash n burn. enjoy.

24 september 2000 a teeny tiny update this time. just one new fluff- er, i mean fic the real me - pure frivolity - it was inspired by darren's new hairdo. it is also noteable as it is an attempt by me to a) write in dialogues and b) write a "daniel-as-aggressor" fic.

6 august 2000 look i'm not dead!! it's been so long since my last update, to make it up to y'all i deliver to you the site update to end all site updates! i've got not one but two new installments of elsewhere ready, part 16: i'm gonna make you mine and part 17: the words already on your lips. i've also got the next story in the wagger and the fairy series i don't like mondays. and last but not least, i've announced a new slash boy, no prizes for guessing who won the vote and stole the title away from daniel johns. enjoy!

31 may 2000 well it's official, i am possessed. i have *already* got the next installment of elsewhere out part 14: the nervous kind with more to come before this hot streak ends. expect chapter 15 and (maybe) 16 to appear over the next couple of days as proof of my disturbing spurt of creativity.

26 may 2000 as usual i have the next installment of elsewhere ready - part 13: i wont let you go. sorry it's so dull, plots ya know? *sigh*. also up is a brand-spanking new fic spin it round - i wrote this one as a birthday fic for the adeepermeaning ml. it started out as a fluffy lil piece with daz and dan at the same high school and kinda spiralled into this insanity. it's gonna be the first in a series. i also won me some awards! *happy dance* you may notice them proudly displayed round the place. big thanxxxx to the syzygy zone!

8 may 2000 well i warned you it wouldn't take me long, i managed to cough up elsewhere, part 11: when you wake up and part 12: i wont be found. they're kinda short (sorry!) so that's why i'm putting them up together.

5 may 2000 welcome to elsewhere, part 10: i knew. my muse reared up and bit me on the arse rather hard, so expect parts 11 and 12 to follow in fairly quick succession... i've also joined up to some webrings... and please *please* check out the simply slashable section and vote for crash and burn's next slash boy!

27 april 2000 well i finally got off my lazy butt and got the site featuring *that* minx article up and running. the article and the four droolsome pics of Mr Hayes (featuring the Naked Hayes Chest) are all there. some of you who read your location line might also notice i've adopted a sister url (www.geocities.com/danieljonesunderwear) this is just because i was running out of room, it wont affect anything.

22 april 2000 added elsewhere part 9: precious.  enjoy this one, there wont be much more smut like this for a while cos elsewhere seems to be doing the impossible and actually developing a plot (shock! horror!)  i also threw up the other three pics from the minx article as well (retouched and prettyfied)

8 april 2000 new fic added - "daniel's guitar".  written very quickly after reading the infamous minx article, inspired by one picture in particular.  god that article was soooo damn inspiring. 

3 april 2000  added elsewhere part 8: stained, my apologies to readers that it's so short, but part 9's shaping up to be quite epic so i hope that'll make up for it. not much else to report, added a counter and guestbook (please sign it!) fixed a few broken links.  

17 march 2000  the whole darn site basically.  i've still got a ways to go, but i had to give birth to this thing sometime.  the pics page still needs work but it will get there.  please report any broken links/html screw-ups/general mistakes to me - i will be eternally grateful.
