An unexpected pearl showed up in the adoption section of the TFL messageboard: Kraven from Underworld.
There was no hesitation. Holding back was simply not possible. I know I already own the fanlisting for Erika and I am never going to give her up but that does not mean I can not be insanely fond of Kraven, too.
I guess sometimes I feel like a bit of a hog. Then again, I have nobody signing up for those fanlisting on my KIM list, and I know that some would not even have fanlistings if I did not kept them all. Like with the Lost Boys, I started with the fanlisting for the whole group. Then Marko and Dwayne were removed due to neglect. Those two were always my favs, I applied and got them. Then I was asked if I wanted to adopt Paul or else he would be closed. Naturally, I said yes. I guess the normal reaction would be to adopt the fanlisting for the group out.
But I guess a) nobody ran the listing before I opened it, b) I see so many listings being neglected, closed or adopted out—I hate to see this happening to a fanlisting for a subject so important to me.
I know where my priorities are, I just love running fanlistings. It is somehow important to me to—especially with older fandoms or characters I adore just as much now as I did back when the fandom they are from was big news.
Oh well, aren’t I contemplative today?

This time I did not stop to check for dead urls and to update all my listings (126 at the moment) I needed less than 30 minutes. Of course I always update members who join within 24 hours, so it was just a click, click, click thing.
Point is, I can not understand why it is so hard for some owners to regularly update their listings every two month. At least with the use of a script there is no excuse. Updating over 100 listings manually, might not be such a good idea altogether—but I do not think that without a script I would be running this many listings.

Currently I am working on finishing my latest four approvals.
In Songs: Bands/Groups 0-M I got Depeche Mode: Walking in my shoes and Garbage: The World is not Enough because nobdoy else applied for it—can you believe that? Those songs are awesome!
At the HatelistingsNetwork I applied and was also quickly approved for Dubbing and Laugh Tracks—because I hate those with the fiery passion of a thousands suns or however that quote went.

While I am still not through re-adding all those buttons to the fanlistings (simply because I need to make new ones, as I carelessly deleted the fugly old ones …) I have re-vamped and moved many listings in the past days and I am pondering applying for three listings that have been on my mind for some time.
Two in Songs: Bands/Groups 0-M and the other in Characters: TV … oh what to do?

Updated the categories on my joined listings page … it almost took forever and I spotted so many listings that had been removed already. Which means I should make a joined links update, too. Listings come and go so fast, it sometimes seems like I am never going to have everything updated to current links.

With this regular update on the first of all member’s list (unfortunately not due to actual members joining) I hope I can get back on schedule. The past months have been either busy or gifted me with a slow connection, sometimes both.
Maybe a few more fans will find their way this year to the smaller fanlistings for those many subjects from forgotten fandoms I run.

Ah, I found the missing fanlistings—forgot to re-insert 96-99 and thus I was four listings short on the count.
Which I guess should be time enough to pause and realise that I am owning 124 fanlistings. Some do need new layouts and so on—however as long as I am capable of mainting the list and everything works, I do not feel too bad about this.
Many would not even have a listing and as I have already seen very dedicated owners dropping from the face of the internet world and the listings just fading away, I also do not feel bad about not adopting out just because I have been approved for a wishlister in the same fandom. Not to mention that many listings I own probably would not find a new owner anyway.
Anyone who feels differently is free to comment and tell me about it.
