Thanks

Little Dead Riding Hood would never have been born without the help and support of many people, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them.

First of all, we want to thank Chris Limb of Catmachine who took our dream and made it a reality. Without Chris, our original ideas for the characters and the site as a whole would never have been anything more than scribbles on a piece of paper. Thank you, Chris, for your unwavering patience and generosity. You took on this mammoth project and never once complained. You stepped in whenever we needed help and you even managed to understand our long-winded, rambling, inane e-mails, and always responded with enthusiasm, ideas and the appropriate technology. You've created a unique, distinctive and visually exciting site for us, not to mention coming up with our theme colours. We are immensely grateful to you.

We also want to thank our excellent photographer, Adrian the Rock who took up the challenge with enthusiasm, listened to our ideas, gave up his time to help us and contributed so much in terms of creativity, energy and technical know-how. And for welcoming us into his home and introducing us to his lovely, sweet wife and friends.

We also want to thank:
