Site Name: Be Scene @
www.be-scene.org
Subject: Scene Queens
Host: The Fan Sites Network
Position: Part Owner and Part Founder
Owned With: Brooke
Why Scene Queens?: Scene Queens were something our friend Lucy got us both into, and it's how Brooke and I discovered we lived near each other, and now we are real life bestfriends. So
I guess you can say Scene Queens brought us together. One day we were talking on MSN and I came up with the idea of having our own website, since Brooke had already
started a photobucket gallery, turns out she was thinking the same. So we first started here on my anamarlia website on a sub-domain but back then I only had 500MBs of space so
I didn't have the space to keep it here, so I applied at
The Fan Sites Network, and Gertie accepted. Around two to three months later we applied for the domain
Be-Scene.org and Gertie graciously bought it for us, and here we are over a year later, being the first Scene QUeen fansite and the largest on the web with over 2 million unique hits a day!
Site Name: Hanna Beth Fan @
www.hannabeth-fan.net
Subject: Hanna Beth Merjos
Host: The Fan Sites Network
Position: Part Owner
Owned With: Brooke
Why Hanna Beth Merjos?: Personally, Hanna is one of my favourite Scene Queens, and when the oppotunity arose to adopt it, Brooke and I talked and decided it not only would be fun to do but also it would be a great extension to the
Be Scene Network. Hanna Beth Fan was previously owned by
Jocelyn, a elite affiliate of
Be-Scene.org, and someone who I really liked as a person, she was a great webmaster,
but in Sepetember 2008, Hanna Fever was put up for adoption and Brooke and I adopted the site. Hanna Beth Fan is the largest Hanna Beth fansite out there and is a new
side project to the Be Scene Network which is now run by Brooke and I, along with the help of the previous staff and new staff who are devoted fans of Hanna Beth.
Site Name: Kelly Source @
kellysource.org
Subject: Kelly Clarkson
Host: The Fan Sites Network
Position: Owner
Co-Webmaster: Jad
Why Kelly Clarkson?: I've been a huge fan of Kelly's since the moment she won American Idol Season One, and it had always been a dream of mine to open a Kelly Clarkson site, I had failed at this attempt with KC-Central.net it was difficult to start from scratch because
she is so extensively popular, so after that happened I opened a Carrie Underwood site named Carrie Online, but I always promised myself that if I could adopt
a Kelly fansite that has content included I would go for it. So when the oppotunity arose early 2008 to adopt the site I of course jumped at the chance, Kelly Source was one of my favourite Kelly Clarkson fansites.
Kelly Source used to be owned by a guy called Kevin, who has done an amazing job. Kelly Source is one of the largest and longest running Kelly Clarkson fansite out there and it is a privilege for me to be able
to run and own it.
Site Name: Kristen Stewart Online @
www.kstewart.org & www.kristen-s.com
Subject: Kristen Stewart
Host: The Fan Sites Network
Position: Owner and Founder
Co-Webmiss: Michelle
Staff: Jennie & Camila.
Why Kristen Stewart?: I've always been a fan of Kristen's ever since her Role as Melinda in Speak, but it really
came to full swing with her role as Isabella "Bella" Swan in the film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's international bestselling novel
Twilight. After a failed attempt at one Twilight Fan Site I decided to make my Kristen Fan Site dream come to life
so I asked Gertie if she would host a domain for me and she happil obliged, so I bought the domain
KStewart.org from
Servers Australia and Gertie hosted it at
The Fan Sites Network. So I then started the
grueling work of getting the entire site up and running, it was difficult because there are alot of Kristen sites running, and there were times
when I almost gave up because of how hard it would be to get the site popular, but just before it was ready to open Laurie Beth put her site
Kristen-S.com
up for adoption and I immediately suggested a merge and Gertie was all too happy with that, Michelle was also interested so we I asked her to web with me
and we merged the sites together, best thing that happened was that all it's ratings went to my site, so all my fears deminished. Today KSO is running strong
being one of the best Kristen sites out there, and would not have been possible without Michelle and my lovely staff.
Site Name: Carrie Online @
carrieonline.org
Subject: Carrie Underwood
Host: The Fan Sites Network
Position: Owner and Founder
Co-Webmiss: Claire
Why Carrie Underwood?: I had been a fan of Carrie's since she won American Idol Season Four. It was the first time I took a liking to country music, so after a failed attempt at opening a Kelly Clarkson site from scratch
I applied at
The Fan Sites Network and started Carrie Online, after a few months I applied for the domain
CarrieOnline.org and Gertie graciously bought it for me. But in September 2008, I had to give the site up,
it was a sad event. There was too much competition to keep up with, with another
Carrie fansite called
Carrie-Underwood.org, and due to my year 12 school commitments and the fact that I was literally on my own running it because although,
there are alot of Carrie fans, not many of them are website experienced, I couldn't keep up with the increasing load as she is so busy and popular these days, so I opted to give it to a new ownner who could do the site some justice.
Eric is now the owner and is doing a fabulous job, and the site is still going today. Carrie Online is a site I am so proud of, even if I no longer own it, it's still apart of me.
