The SWAT Kats Fanfiction Archive is updated once more! Back on June 2. Just a small update this time out.

And, uploads are continuing over at the Archive's new home.

Most of you know that SWAT Kats has been airing on Boomerang. It was airing late night until a few weeks ago. Figured I would let y'all know that it has been moved to 7pm EST followed by 2 Stupid Dogs which originally aired along with SWAT Kats during its first run back in 1993. I'm feeling all nostalgic myself seeing both of those shows together again back to back. ^_^

Hopefully the show can gain higher ratings being on an earlier time where more people are awake and perhaps give a bit of an indication to the head honchos that putting the series on DVD would be good.

The SWAT Kats Fanfiction Archive was updated back on April 27. And, it's a big update too.

What's more, the Archive is looking at some changes in the (hopefully) near future. It will eventually be moving to its own domain at skfanfic.com where it will be running the eFiction software. This means that the site will hopefully be better organized with options to search fanfics by author, title, summary and category. It will not, however, be a SWAT Kat version of Fanfiction.net. The submission process will not change, and all submissions still need to be sent to our email. We don't have the resources to police a fully automated system and keep it free of bots, trolls and the like.

At the moment, mbimomma and I are still setting up the new system. It's going to take a while to upload the existing archive as all of the old fanfics have to be entered manually.

Still, drop by and give the new site look! Comments and suggestions would be welcome. And, no, it probably won't look the same once we're done.

Has anyone else heard of this?

Just thought I'd post a quick message to introduce myself to the community. I've been on LJ for a few years now but (for whatever reason) had no clue that this community existed. Actually, I even found it by accident when looking for SK LJ user icons.

Speaking of which, does anyone have any of those? I did a Google search and came up empty-pawed.

But I digress... FWIW, a little about me:

I first found SWAT Kats around the same time I discovered the "furry" community. As such, when I got a fursona, the character I chose was Razor (my favorite character from the show). Every so often I roleplay Razor on FurryMUCK and FurToonia, though I haven't been active on either lately. I have built up part of Megakat City on FT, though it hasn't been updated much in a while.

Some of you may remember me (for better or for worse) back from when I (briefly) ran a SK mailing list (from 1994-97).

For more about me, check out my profile. Hopefully I'll get my personal web site back up one of these days (when I can get off my tail and actually start working on it).

Yes, the SWAT Kats Fan Art Page has finally been updated! There's art from newcomer Soldier of Fortune - which you might have already seen here ;) - as well as some pieces from Raven SK.

While this LJ hack seems to be preying on larger communities, I'm posting this anyway just in case. If anyone sees a message like THIS in regards to the community moving, DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINKS. It's some kind of virus that you do not want. Read more in the link on the exact deal.

If this LJ ever changes moderatorship or names, they would be linked by LJ usernames not by specific links. countrykat, mbimomma, and myself (kynolef) have no plans in the immediate future to leave or move this community. Also if this community WAS to move, it would more than likely stay on LJ.

Keep on the lookout for your other favorite LJ communities too, Kat fans.

Sorry, I really didn't mean to 'flood' the site.  I am just too green at this so here I'll put them under one post.

I realize the natural answer may be either A. The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice because it aired first or B. The Wrath of Dark Kat because it includes an origin story, but I think more criteria can be applied retrospectively.

Things like overall enjoyability, animation quality, a range of things that really show what SWAT Kats is, the story, the villain(s) or lines of dialogue that make the episode more accessible to a first time viewer, and would stand the best chance of getting them to watch more.

With that in mind, what episode do you think someone should see first?
