WELCOME TO CHERRIES ON TOP!
This is my fansite for the relationship between Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler of the FOX series "24".

"You know, Michelle, I'm not a big advice giver, but under the circumstances... Don't wait around for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy, and do it. Because everything else is all just background noise."
- George Mason (Day 2)

Kristi and I think we figured out how the hackers were accessing our files on the server and we've made some adjustments to our websites to hopefully prevent another attack on our sites.

||| February 4, 2009 |||

Today is this site's 2 year birthday! With that I've brought some new content, new goals and a new site title... Cherries On Top (of my 24 sundae). Everyone knows that the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae is one of the best parts, but even though we all love that cherry so very much, that the rest of the sundae is just as good (but maybe not as special as that cherry) so for me, the relationship between Tony and Michelle on "24" is the something special that I love about "24" even though I adore and love everything else that comes with the series. So that is why this site is called Cherries On Top, because Tony and Michelle are my cherries on top of "24". Corny, just a bit, I know.

There have been some changes here on the site since you last dropped in, but let me assure you that everything that was available then is still here now.

If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback to give on the site, please use the contact form available on this page to reach me. I look forward to hearing from you (psst! there's a tag board on your right too).

FAN FICTION
I have decided to start building a Tony/Michelle fanfic archive on this site. In the past I haven't searched out T&M fanfic before so I only have the story that I wrote in the archive right now. I encourage you to submit your own Tony/Michelle stories to the archive to help build a site where all fans can come to easily find the type of fanfics they enjoy reading (Word document is all right so long as it isn't a .docx file). Stories will be organized alphabetically by story title and author name. From time to time I will also be announcing Fanfic Challenges (keep reading, there's a challenge in this update!).

STORIES ADDED:
"Shut Down" by Dana Doggett

NEW GRAPHIC ARTWORK
I'd like to give a HUGE thanks to everyone who has submitted their Tony/Michelle creatives to the site in time to make this update: jimkeller24, Little Albatross and xoreMTnMDerox. Below are some samples of new artwork added to the site.

You can view more on the collages, wallpaper, banners, or icons/avatar pages. Remember you can always submit your Tony/Michelle artwork to Cherries On Top, just e-mail me the graphic files: admin@danadoggett.com

PHOTO GALLERY
The Promotional Images have been updated. I have decided to include any high quality images that I have for you guys. I know that I love having HQ pictures available to me when I work on collages and wallpaper and I figured you probably want them too so I've added those in place of the MQ versions that were previously on the site. Some images I couldn't find the HQ versions of so those have remained in MQ. Below are a few images not previously seen on this website, there are more than this just check out the Promotional Images gallery.

(lots more here)

I've also updated the image galleries for Carlos and Reiko. Like the "24" promotional images I'm including HQ images when available. Below are samples of the new images added today.

FANFIC CHALLENGE
I thought this would be a fun addition to the site. Every couple months I will be creating Tony/Michelle fanfic challenges. I figured since Tony and Michelle are our favorite couple that starting the challenges off with a Valentine's Day challenge would be appropriate. Details are below.

Valentine's Day 2009
Due Date: March 1, 2009
Submit responses to: admin@danadoggett.com

It's Valentine's Day at CTU and Paula Schaeffer (Day 2) notices the little glances that Michelle has been giving Tony. Knowing that Tony has felt he shouldn't get involved with people he works with, Paula points out Michelle's attraction and encourages him to do something about it since it is Valentine's Day. Does he? Doesn't he? That's up to you.

Required Elements:

- The color red or pink must be a prominent feature in your story.

- A broken necklace.

- Someone says: "Somebody's going to find out what happened one way or another."

- Only use characters from "24" that were on the show through Day 2.
