I have been a fan of LJS since I read the Vampire Diaries in 1991. I loved her work and ranked her up there with my favorite authors: Poe, Montgomery, and Pike. I am also a member of the Midnight Club - an online forum of people who share writings and discuss life. We are all drawn together by our love for the writings of the Oh Great One (Poppy's nick not mine) - Christopher Pike. One day, the discussion turned to other authors we enjoy and several members wrote in, saying how much they enjoyed LJS. Wags (Scott, founder of TMC) asked Drew if she was still willing to form The Secret Circle, a club for LJS. Well, I wrote in and said I would do it, but I couldn't use Secret Circle as I have an online coven support by the same name (several members from NW are in it btw) I chose Night World and asked for those interested. Immediately, I got response by at least 15 people. I looked into a listserver and set aside ideas for a website and then e-mailed those people again. We all chose names and thus, The Night World was created....
