Hi all,

Many of you would know Captivating from when it was at the url natalie-dormer.com.  I made a choice last year to close all my fansites as I was too much online and not outside interacting with other people.  I don’t regret the decision as it taught me alot about myself and taught me which sites I really loved and those I loved but not enough to run a site on.  But most importantly I learned that I was spending so much time online I was shutting the real world out.  Fellow fansite webmasters are all familiar with the phenomenon where we take on too much and many still struggle with cutting down and realising its a hobby, its not meant to take over your life.

I missed this site alot and have decided despite my busy uni schedule, I wanted to open it again.  I adore Natalie and she is the one out of all I closed I truly missed the most  I will be now only running this site and one other I am building.  I am content with that as fansites are meant to be a hobby, I have learned alot about myself as I said and I have no desire to return to where I was before.

So, I am so excited to have Captivating back online and continuing to show my admiration for Natalie.  I will try to catch the site up as soon as I am able to.

A big thank you to both Claudia and Stef.  Stef for allowing me to use this domain and Claudia for always been such a supportive friend and also allowing me to use the domain as her Natalie site which resided on it had just been merged into Stef’s Natalie site natalie-dormer.net.
