Updates
26th April 2005
Good news: an update! Shock! It's housekeeping mostly, updating the links page and the Kristine page. The latter page now has a link to a new interview with Kristine, whilst the former links to the new Joyce fanlisting site. And on the 17th of this month Kristine turned 50! Which we're classing as good news as it seems rude to do otherwise. We hope the celebrations were suitably enormous.
Sad news: Kristine Sutherland Online seems to have vanished. A short but brilliant career. RIP.31st October 2004
An update at last! Very sorry for the break in service. I'd like to promise it won't happen again, but I think we all know that isn't true. Anyway, since the last update Kristine has turned 49 and Joyffa has turned 4. Who'd have thought we'd all get so old? Kristine still looks fabulous though.
Anyway, in this update the season seven overview has finally been put up, a new Joyce essay has been added and some various bits of housekeeping have been carried out. All this here and there's the Buffyverse 1000 project, where a range of writers are attempting to write about 1000 different Buffyverse pairings - so there's quite a few Joyce drabbles and ficlets already up, and more no doubt to come.
12th January 2004
It's a Joyce fic-o-rama for the New Year with the fabulous results of the Joyce Ficathon now up in their own special section (a titanic seven fics so far, with one hopefully still to come) and another new fic, Knowing, in the archive.
Some other small updates including a pruning of the links page - the number of Joyce sites is dwindling, alas! We should be listed as an endangered species really. Lastly, Kristine's height is added to the Kristine page. Expect the diameter of her bouffant to follow. Or maybe not.
25th August 2003
The last ever episode guide for the Last Ever Appearance of the Bouffanted One is at last up. After more than two and a half years they're complete. Goodness. Anyway, the season 7 overview should follow soonish. Also, information on Kristine's Providence guest spot - from Hungary of all places - has arrived, via the lovely Natalie at Kristine Sutherland Online - which has also become our sister site. We are, indeed, famileeee.
And we meant to mention in the last update that JOYFFA passed its third birthday in May. Yay!
8th July 2003
Dolores had to move house, so things got a little backed up. Will try and catch up over the next couple of weeks. Did a bit of housekeeping, but we've also added an exciting new page to Joyce 101: Season Seven Joyce: Higher Being or First Evil? with exclusive information from none other than Jane Espenson!! No, we really mean that!
The Spoiler Vault has (for obvious reasons) been shut and our spy network pensioned off, but should Joyce be rumoured to reappear in any spin-off it will of course be re-opened.
17th April 2003
Kristine Sutherland is a youthful 48 today! Happy Birthday Kristine!
11th April 2003
The Kristine page has been updated with a comprehensive review of KS's appearance on California Dreams in 1994, thanks to the ever so lovely Charles. He hopes to bring us some screencaps too in the very near future! There's also some extra biographical detail for Kristine. Some extra fan commentary has also been put up on the Anya or Joyce? page.
Two fics have been added also: Strawberry Scents by Amanda and Strangers in a Bar by Charles (who's a busy boy this month).
10th March 2003
Added one new fic, A New Beginning by Spike Girl.
8th March 2003
A big update today to make up for the gap in service. The first of the season seven episode guides is up, and there are new screencaps to accompany some of those in seasons one, two and three. We have new images too in the photo gallery and an extra special treat in the art gallery - Buffy the Animated Series may be on hold indefinitely but we can reveal what cartoon Joyce would have looked like. There's also a new page in the Joyce 101 section - Anya or Joyce?
All that and there's six new fics in the archive! All Ye Who Enter by Alix Aadler, Tiny Purple Fishes by Gillian Silverlight, The First Annual Brownie Bakeoff and Memories, Hopes and Dreams by Pete Meilinger, Yours, Eternally by seraC and DeNile by Indri.
Lastly we've joined the official Kristine Sutherland fanlisting, More Than a Momma. Go check it out!
18th December 2002
A new fic in the archive, the rather fabulous Point of Focus by Alix Aadler. Check it out! The Joyce FAQ and spoiler vault have also been updated to reflect Joyce's most recent appearance.
That's almost certainly the last update for 2002, so have a very happy holiday season and we'll see you in 2003!
27th November 2002
The move did indeed take place, and we're now at our new home (the fourth in the site's history, if you're interested). There still some tinkering to be done, but everything should be present and correct with the exception of some of the images in the gallery, which hopefully will be restored tomorrow. There's also been some updates and general housekeeping performed: the spoilers page has been updated, our season 6 episode review and overview have finally been completed (hurrah!), new screencaps illuminate Joyce's appearances in seasons 1 and 2, and the Joyce FAQ has been adjusted to reflect recent developments. Phew.
If there are any broken links we've missed or other mistakes of any sort we'd be grateful if you'd let us know.
22nd October 2002
The Spoilers page has been updated. I'll say no more here...
In other news, the Dictators have finally got to see Normal Again so look out for the review very soon. More importantly, the site is almost certainly going to have to be moved to a new server sometime in November. This hopefully will not involve too much disruption to service, but we can't be absolutely sure. In any case, the domain name will stay. Should the site go down for any length of time we'll be notifying everyone on the mailing list, so go join that already!21st September 2002
After a bit of a summer break, we're back. The Kristine page is updated with some (limited) info on her appearance in the drama series Providence. There's also some new fic in the archive (at last!): The Plumber's Friend and Nurture by Meltha, Band Candy by Twinkledru and Feeling It by Buffonia.
Not of our creation but still very much worth a look is the highly entertaining Joyce music video created by the lovely bandofbuggered.com, which can be found by simply going to the site and clicking the music video option of the menu. A Joyce tribute to the tune of Mrs Robinson - what more could you ask for?
9th June 2002
Another slow period for Joyce and Kristine news. Due to technical difficulties, the Dictators haven't been able to see Normal Again to bring you a review of Joyce's brief return. We'll bring it to you just as soon as we can. We do however have lots of new info on Kristine herself thanks to the lovely and very lucky Natalie, who met the beautiful Kristine at a dinner in London in May.
Finally, JOYFFA celebrated two years of serving the public with all things Joyce on the 28th May. In celebration, the Dictators threw a huge party in London at the beginning of June with lots of fireworks, and the music provided by some of our close personal friends in the music industry - but imagine our dismay when it got high-jacked by some monarch or other for her own selfish ends... ah well. Thanks to all of our visitors over the last couple of years, and especially people like Charles, Jennifer and Technopagan for all their support.
29th March 2002
Added info about Kristine's role in The Art of Being Nick to the Kristine page, and updated our mock History of JOYFFA.
13th March 2002
Updated the Joyce FAQ and the Spoiler Vault to take into account recent developments. If you have seen the latest Buffy episode you might want to visit the Vault for news on the episode guide. In other news, we've discovered that Kristine was in the pilot for a Family Ties spin-off (of all things) so we'll be bringing you some details on that soon.
24th February 2002
A new affiliate, Piper's Papers, added a link to an interview Kristine did with the BBC and we've updated the Spoiler Vault. We should have some new pictures for the episode guides soon.
18th December 2001
Updated the Kristine page with some bits and pieces of information, and, most excitingly, a screencap of Kristine in Honey I Shrunk the Kids, where she looks hideous in a floral jumper. There was also another correction to the beta reader e-mail addresses, which should make them all up to date, and a small update to the Joyce FAQ with an extra address you can write to so you can get that genuine authographed African tribal mask.
As this will almost certainly be the last update before the holidays, the Dictators would like to wish you all a happy Hannukah, a merry Christmas, a joyous New Year, a wonderful Yule, and an all round fabulous festive season. Thanks for the support over the last year and may the spirit of Joyce be with you all.
18th November 2001Corrected the links to the Round the World Group fics on the archive, and updated and expanded the links page with a couple more resources and some author archives. Also fixed an e-mail address for one of our beta readers. We're still looking for more - any volunteers?
In other news there has been a B:tVS Top Trumps card game issued in the UK, complete with a Joyce card! She's not that good, but at least she's included!1st November 2001
New fics - Mum part 4 and Their Father by lj, and Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi by Dolores.
New affiliate - the lovely Fabulous Fred, the Fred Fanlisting.
Also updated the Kristine biography with two interesting titbits - her birth name and her date of birth.25th October 2001
- Sorry about the extended period of non-updatage: Dolores and Faithtastic have spent the last two months in California attempting to kidnap Joss and play Celine Dion CDs to him until he agreed to resurrect Joyce and give her a spin-off show centred on the art gallery. We are sad to report we failed. Hopefully we'll get things up to speed on the site soon.
Three (!) new awards added from the Passion Awards, the Judgement Awards and Dedication Reviews, so thank you exceedlingly much to all of them for that. We also updated the Spoiler Vault.
In other news, Kristine herself (hallelujah!) has been interviewed in the October edition of SFX magazine in the UK. Just as soon as Dolores can get her scanner operational we'll put it up on the site. The lovely Jennifer reports that there is also to be a Joyce card in the new B:tVS Collectible Card Game so the truly devoted can act out their fantasies of being Joyce. Finally, the PAX network in the USA is apparently showing reruns of California Dreams - so look out for Kristine when they get to the third season!
3th March 2001
10th December 2000
- Uploaded fics - Everyone Has A Secret In Sunnydale (Parts 1-4 only) by Femvamp and The Serpent's Tooth by Oni.
Added more manipulated images to the Gallery and separated the Gallery itself into two sections: Joyce photos and Joyce art.
Added two new sections - Joyce-centric episode guides and a contact us page.
Corrected link to The Buffy Cross and Stake and added link to the hilarious Joyce Summers is Evil site.
