OP updated: June 30, 2017

I deleted most dead links, but I still have hopes some of them will resurface at some point, so I've left the links in the list for now. I also cut down the twitter links to only people that were directly involved in YA

As I was saying on the other thread, I'd also prefer having the original Strawberry Lane site back It'd save you a ton of work (coding, etc), Finnegan.

I've sent the files to 2 people who have offered to host the Strawberry Lane site, so hopefully it will be online again soon. I'm actually really happy that other people are willing to take it over. It was the one reason I was hanging on to my site as long as I did, and I was sad to see it go.

Thank you to the awesome fans. Who says it's over, right?

Reviving "Strawberry Lane"

I said i would host it in full as it was.

I loved Strawberry Lane. I do not at all support what you are now declaring to do to it.

Well, I for one would also prefer having Strawberry Lane back online exactly as it was, instead of finding just bits and pieces on your site, Finnegan Besides, it was just so pretty ...
Jessica, Anja,

I share your preference to have Strawberry Lane maintained just as it was. I doubt I have the tech skills to do that, however. And of course I'd prefer to have one of you do the work rather than do it myself.

If you have the requisite tech skills and resources, by all means contact Juli/Jewelianna the same way I did, and ask her for the files. I posted a description of how I did that on the thread of which this is a continuation, precisely so that others could do it, too. But I don't feel at liberty to distribute Juli's files or e-mail address, since I don't have her permission to do that.

I had intended to try to put as much of Strawberry Lane as possible on a Google site this weekend, but I'll wait a week, until the following weekend, in order to give you two a chance to see whether you can do better. If either of you manages to get the files, and can re-create the site more or less as it was, let me know during the coming week, please. If you can, I'll be delighted.

Later edit:

Excellent. So a second and hopefully more tech-savvy person has the files. Jessica?

Anja, TFTNT hun

Juli - your reasons for taking down the site are totally understandable, good luck with the teaching I hope someone manages to put the site back up

Yeah so grumpy me is now sick, tired, but not-so-grumpy me. This is more like what i had in mind when Finnegan inspired me to look for that copy of Strawberry Lane i had made some years ago. I never found it so i too wrote to Juli. http://strawberrylane.thefiveeight.com I agree with Anja that it is pretty. It is also pretty simple in its construct. What might come of it i am not too sure right now. I am really tired and really not feeling so good. But if anyone has suggestions i am open to ideas though no promise on implementing ideas. And if anyone knows the font used for the logo can you please tell me so i can make a proper favicon for the site. Thank you. I go sleepies now.

So, is that URL read for Anja or Sheida to post into the OP of this thread? And for me to post into my "References" section on "Rawley Revisited"?

Of course I have suggestions. They're in a PM in your inbox. And I'm willing to do the non-IT work to implement them.

The online scripts of YA: what they are, where they come from

In the process of contacting Juli to get files of Strawberry Lane, I found out what the Young American scripts online are, and where they come from. I feel free to share that info, since it was given to me in response to a request for a description of the nature and provenance of those scripts that I told Juli I intended to post online if I, rather than Jessica, had ended up reconsituting the Strawberry Lane site. So now I've posted it on the scripts section of my website, here:

Quote:
The scripts of the eight aired episodes of Young Americans (YA) in this section are not transcripts of the drama as aired. They are edited versions of hardcopy production scripts bought in the autumn of 2000 bought by a YA fan , "Jewelianna," who until October 2011 maintained the Strawberry Lane fansite. "Jewelianna" typed them up into electronic form to post online. (Back in 2000, scanners were not common.) As she did so, she deleted a lot of material not used in YA as aired, transferring that unused material to a "cut scenes" file that she posted on Strawberry Lane, which I have copied into this section as "Material cut." However, the scripts that resulted from her editing are not transcripts; the drama as aired sometimes deviates from them substantially (although less than it deviated from the production scripts that "Jewelianna" edited). These are the only YA scripts now online. They are neither production scripts nor transcripts, but something midway between the two.

The hardcopy "source" production script of Episode 1 was dated May 18, 2000, according to "Jewelianna;" the dates of the hardcopy source scripts for the other episodes are not known.
All YA scripts now online appear to be identical; apparently they all derive from Juli's work.

I've long been puzzled about the YA scripts online, since they're plainly not transcripts (except for the script of the unaired pilot), but production scripts wouldn't already have the large amounts of "cut scenes" deleted from them but somehow preserved on the side. Perhaps others have shared my puzzlement. Now we know.

Accomplishments and work remaining

Anja,

The public now has better access to Antin's Young Americans and to information about it than we had two years ago:

-- During the past year, the two most informative website about YA still online -- Strawberry Lane and the YA section of the official SONY website (Rawley Academy Online) -- both went offline, but we found the former preserved by Archive.org and have put the latter back online.

-- We have recovered the 2000-2001 YA section of Fanforum (Rawley Academy), a treasure-trove of information.

-- We've become aware of Jessica's Oxblood site, which includes ratings info.

-- We've learned what the online scripts are, and where they come from.

-- We've made a decent-quality English-language version of YA (by redubbing the French version back into English), posted it online in short clips, and made whole-episode downloads available (at Rawley Revisited).

-- We've correctly attributed that mysterious piece of music played during the JaHammer cotillion kiss scene, "That's No Lie."

That's a remarkable accomplishment for any fan community. And it does take a community: the parts of it that I've done, I couldn't have done alone. Hell, without the bootlegs on YouTube and the Chinese sites, and without Juli's scripts, I wouldn't ever have rediscovered YA two years ago; I'd still have nothing but a vague memory of a tantalizingly interesting summer 2000 show I knew I didn't understand. And as we've recently seen, both in contacting Juli and in contacting Jessica, this board of Fanforum continues to serve as an indispensable focus for the fan community.

And that's just the factual stuff -- it excludes any progress we may have made in understanding the show. That said, there's a lot that remains to be done. For example:

-- The Wikipedia article on YA might be improved.

-- It would be interesting to find out what YA original footage exists, what original production scripts still exist, and where they are located.

-- Somebody really does need to interview Steven Antin and/or Joseph Voci to ask about the narrative perspective, the apparent anachronisms, the whole apparent adult level of meaning that the WB teen audience could hardly have grasped in 2000.

-- Above all, we need a critical appreciation of YA published in an edited venue (not a fansite), something that a Wikipedia article could cite (Wiki rules prohibit citing fan material). The fact is that no article about or review of Young Americans published in any edited venue is based on viewing of more than the first four episodes -- most are based only on the first episode. Given that information one needs to understand the whole show is given only at the end of the last episode -- notably the information that Scout and Bella are not in fact half-siblings, and that Krudski is narrating not from the present but from some time long after the events he has recalled or imagined -- that means that no published review of or article about YA in any edited venue could possibly convey an understanding of the show.

We have come a long way. I'm not sure how likely it is that the ~goals you've set for fandom can be achieved, but I guess you/we can always try.

The new, improved Strawberry Lane

Take a look at what Jessica's done with Julianna's


fansite.

Improved, but in subtle ways. The basic structure and visual appearance remain unchanged. Nicely done, I think.

Best of all, the site still has an authoritatively factual "reference site" tone. Now more than ever, in fact.

And Jessica's had search engine bots crawl it, and put links to it online in various places, so now if you google for "Strawberry Lane" and "Young Americans," it pops right up.
