Eeeeeeeeeee ferret! Also, now I have a proper idea of what you look like :) Also also, I have been reading back through the PowerSwitch boards and hello, you are there too!
When I purpled my hair, I used the Stargazer dye which I just applied straight to my hair with no bleaching. It was a good, deep purple which easily covered my natural brown. I decided against making a habit of it because with the amount of hair I have it took two full bottles and most of an afternoon to apply the dye, and I couldn't be bothered to deal with that on a regular basis. I don't know how much time or money you were putting into dyeing your hair previously, but if Stargazer is comparable on those terms it might be one option.
The downside is that it is semi-permanent, and I found that it was at the low end of the range they quote for how long it lasts. That is to say, it was rather faded after only two or three washes, and there was nothing left but a slightly reddish tint after five or six. I'm sure this is partly because there are no truly mordant purples, and because I dyed unbleached hair. But the same problems would apply to you, so don't expect too much.
