Finding your way about town...

Girls' Town is Aristasia Friends' central meeting place - rather like the Aphrodite Cocktail Bar of old. In fact you will find the Aphrodite Cocktail Bar in Girls' Town.

Like the old Cocktail Bar, every one is welcome to send her comments, tell stories, talk about anything and everything. Originally we had a number of different ideas for Forums - the Cocktail Bar itself of course; we have permission to try to revive it - so try we shall. We also wanted to have a Games Club, an Aristasian newspaper and perhaps a school. This we thought might spread things out a bit too much - several quiet pages instead of one busy one. So why not have them all together on the same page - like a town where everything takes place. You can visit the Cocktail Bar, drop in to the games club, pick up a newspaper, attend the school etc.

So we decided to give each place in town its own distinctive banner. The Cocktail Bar looks like this:

This is the place for general conversation. If you have something to say, just pop into the bar and say it. In practice, just send us a letter and if you don't indicate that it is for anywhere else it will go under the Cocktail Bar heading.

If you have ideas for new places in town. just let us know.

The archives are now starting to grow and there are various ways a new girl can explore them. Either you can follow the conversation backwards using the link at the bottom of the current page and of each archive, or you could go to the first archive and begin at the bottom of the page, reading the contributions upward until you come to the top. This way you follow the archives in chronological order. Each archive has a navigation bar at the top of the page as well as the bottom which will take you forward or backward.

Alternatively, one can just dip.

How this new idea will work only time will tell. Whether it will work is largely up to you. The Cocktail Bar eventually ran to some 78 archives - as much text as several novels. There was something happening there every day and a real sense of community. If Girls' Town is to recreate that phenomenon, we need girls to participate and contribute.

This means you, honey! See you there.
