Welcome ... to the Edge!
You stand at the rim of the abyss, gazing out over ... nothing. Your fear mounts as you are compelled to move closer, to look deeper into the darkness. Your mind races as the many possible outcomes of your next step are considered. Your foot wavers above the abyss, and then --
-- you are falling, lost in the misty realm of your dreams. You see nothing clearly, yet it is frighteningly familiar. You feel terror swell in your throat, but force it back down. It's only a dream, you say to yourself. Dreams aren't real. They can't hurt me. There's no reason for me to panic. And then, dark locks in: it's NIGHTFALL.
Now, you scream...

April 24th, 2006: Updated with the current 25th anniversary episode, The Fatal Eggs by Arthur Samuels.
April 9th, 2006: My sincerest apologies to everyone for allowing development of the site to lapse for so long. I have been trying to balance a new career as a radio drama producer with my duty to The Nightfall-25 Project and I'm afraid I've not been very successful. I hope to focus a little bit this month on the site and will try my best to get it caught up before the 25th anniversary of the end of the show's first season. Please bear with me. Thank you.

July 3rd, 2005: The Support page was updated with a section to report Donation Totals. A Disclaimers and Licensing Info page was also created.
June 30th, 2005: A page listing writers and others involved in making Nightfall that we have been unable to locate for interviews is now up.
June 28th, 2005: A page soliciting donations to maintain the site and cover our hosting and other expenses is now up.
June 27th, 2005: With only a week left until launch, we're beginning to feel a sense of anxiety, worrying we'll not have everything ready on time. We really do have a lot of things done and people who've all ready been here to look around have been impressed. It would be nice to have everything we wanted ready to go, but we know that's only our ideal goal. Still, we'll make our best effort.
June 22nd, 2005: We now have a more functional Episode Guide, where each season has its own parent frame, allowing for two new frames to open up at the same time from the navigation bar.
June 20th, 2005: We've been having a difficult time deciding on the design of the main interface page. We liked the QuickGuide, but we also felt a welcome page was important for first-time visitors, as was a brief explanation of the series. Then there was the idea that having very recent additions/changes should also show up on the first page. So finally, this is what we came up with: Your welcome message at the top, the QuickGuide (retaining the popular skull and hit counter) in its own box on the right, and lastest news and developments here. The only aspect we haven't covered is a short explanation of the series. We're working on that.
June 18th, 2005: Work continues as we prepare the site for the 25th anniversary launch on July 4th. The Press Release page is now up with 6 CBC press releases; more are on the way. There will also be a handful of NPR press releases coming sometime in the next week or so.
