~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Amethyst Beloved's New Trials Experience~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In 2002, I first discovered Cardcaptor Sakura from watching the dubbed version. I was already a fan when I watched the original Japanese version, and I was more in love than ever. After being inspired by Satashi and Peacewish, I wrote my own fanfics from November 2002 to August 2003.
In 2003, I discovered The New Trials of CardCaptor Sakura and Friends, by
in the spring and Wish-chan gave me permission to upload her story on fanfiction.net.
[link]In 2004, Kirei Blossom invited both
and myself to become moderators for the New Trials Ring, which is the most popular group for a CCS fanfic! (

In 2007, I was away from the fandom for a bit, and when I came back I started the New Trials Chapter Summaries (

Also in 2007, I decided that it would be fun to organize an unauthorized New Trials FanArt 100 project with the various fanarts dedicated to New Trials. This prompted me to create my own deviantArt account. The project is complete and stored in the New Trials Yahoo group. I would love to make a site, but I don't know the first thing about web designing.
In 2008,
came to me with an idea to create a New Trials dA account to store fanart. This couldn't have been a better idea because Geocities closed in 2010 and Selenity's Mirror site and Digidynasty's fanart page belonged to Geocities.
I went AWOL from late 2009 to early 2012. I met the man of my dreams and we got married in July 2010. I was also terribly addicted to an online game that ate my spare time.
In 2012, I came back and I'm more involved in the fandom than ever. I've returned to chapter summarizing, and I've lauched a project that I had wanted to do since 2008: The New Trials Picture Book Project! It was a delight to organize all the fanarts in chronological order! And I'm having a great time connecting with fans both old and new.
I've also posted a New Trials Chapter Release Timeline in the Yahoo group, and I'm working on a "real time" New Trials timeline too.
As I write this, we're waiting for Chapter 68. The wait is long, but New Trials fans are patient and we'll welcome the new chapter with open arms and lots of reviews for Wish-chan!
