My first ever fan site I launched in 2002 for Elijah Wood; a miserable effort of a fan site, but it was all very new to me then. Gosh, I was such a fan! I've since then run fan sites for Johnny Depp, Salma Hayek, Alyssa Milano, Liv Tyler, Natalie Portman, Hugh Jackman, Milla Jovovich, Chloë Sevigny, Lacey Chabert, Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Garner, Robert Sean Leonard and Tricia Helfer. Only Lacey was someone whom I wasn't a tremendous fan of, although I did and do like her. I love all four girls I run fan sites for right now (Tricia, Natalie, Milla and Chloë). It's so difficult letting a site go, and I have to confess I'm often too selfish to give a site away for someone else to run. My Johnny site (another miserable 2003 effort, by the way) I closed, a fate that was also shared by my Liv, Robert, Ewan, Jennifer and Lacey sites, and my 1st Natalie site. Alyssa and Salma I only ever co-owned. In fact, my Hugh Jackman fan site is the only one I ever gave away, and even then I gave it to someone I knew well enough and trusted. At any rate, it was such a large site (and the only big Hugh site around) I felt I had an obligation to leave it online. Heck, even getting co-webs is bloody difficult for me. Giving away sites you're not that interested in running is good, though. When I lost interest in Hugh, updating the site became such a drag. I can't run a website for someone I'm not that crazy about. My four girls are all celebrities I love following up on, so updating is a pleasure. That's how it should be with fan sites.
