I know.. I don’t usually post anything on this day, but I wanted to get this one shot out.
No, it is not the promised Christmas one. It is the one I promised with Eric and Sookie.
I wanted to give you some background on this. I was listening to this song, and this story poured out. I loved it, but another author who is one of my ladies, loved it even more. So we decided that I should publish. But, life got the better of me. When I finally did it, MistressJessica1028 worked on it, but she commented that it was odd. Found out later that it was because while I worked on it, she didn’t get that version.
So after all that, and yes she actually edited the same story twice, for this one and the Mummy one, I thought I didn’t have a banner. So I finished it and today when I got home, I made the banner on the story page. Seems someone coughFallingStars?!!?cough made me it.
Also, during this, I couldn’t imagine Anna Paquin as Sookie. This is the story that made Elisha Cuthbert my Sookie. From here she spread into the other stories as the Sookie I imagine.
Ok other things!!!
Per the ladies on Facebook, when I listened to a song by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, when they heard the song, they thought of Damon and Bella. So I wrote the one shot for the Christmas Carol Kittyinaz Writing Challenge this month. I have bits of Kol, Klaus, and some guest appearances. I wrote it last night, need to work it over, since the muse started one way, and turned and went a 180 from there. So I need to go through it and fix the changes to make it all work. But my entry to show you guys what I meant is ready…. Is yours?!?!?!
And no, it is against the rules for me to enter, the only way I can participate is by writing example ones…. So no fear there. (Not like I would win!!! There are awesome ones out there!! The story banner is already posted in the Vampire Diaries/Twilight as Carolized.
The Kill Bill contest, well I need to do the banner. No other entires were received, so once I can get with Rissa, I will make the banner with the winner badge on it. Congrats! I also am not running that one again, since I get the least amount of entries for it.
Just a reminder, the only stories you will get during this time is one shots, or if the betas release a chapter to you ladies. otherwise, we are all spending the time banking chapters not only for me, but for their own stories. The Holidays are rough enough without trying to keep schedules. I, for one, felt a lot of relief for not having to work everyday.
Murphy update! He has hair!!! Yes his hair is starting to grow in. He ahs a fuzz all over which is really soft. Looks like his main coat will be close to Connor’s color, a blondish red. I call it fawn color. He has a black muzzle. I have some pics I will show below. One was when I edited all the Mummy chapters, and he slept out in the living room. This past weekend my mom realized we have the Boondock Saints in the house. The brothers in the movie were Connor and Murphy, with Connor being the older twin. LOL. I did NOT name Connor for that. He is actually named on my side for Andrew Lee Pott’s character on Primeval, and on my hubs side, for a character in Assassin’s Creed. It fit him perfectly.
Clocks is being edited right now, and we have some reworking to do with the chapters. I realized that I jumped a lot all over the pace, and asked the beta to see if she agreed. She did, so we will be reworking those chapters.
We still have the Sun Holds the Moon, (LotR/Twilight), Our Road (Twilight/TVD), Game of Life (Twilight/TVD). Heavenly Light (HP/Twilight) and What If (Twilight) left to Edit. When I start really writing again, I am looking to edit at night what I wrote in the day to send to the betas. That way it will be faster to you guys. But hopefully all the above will hold you guys over until I get there. If it works, then there will not be edit times and writing times. I much rather write.
I did, start a new crossover. It’s a Charmed/Twilight with Cole/Bella. It came upon a midnight clear- I mean.. It just came upon me. No it has nothing to do with Christmas, except it may be a present to you guys if I can watch the episodes with him in it soon. He was my first crush on TV. I used to watch Charmed before going to work on TNT in AZ. Coffee, Breakfast, (that I actually cooked, like breakfast tacos and such!!!) and Cole on TV. What could be a better start?
So my time will be busy, and you might not have many of these. but after the new year? Hopefully we will be back in business! It might take a week or two, since my birthday is so close to the New Year. And Russian Christmas. And.. Well you get the point.
We are still asking for Betas. We are looking for those who are knowledgeable in the field, to help form our core better. We have an awesome bunch of ladies, but I seem to dump a lot on them at once. We are looking for those who are interested. There are plenty of fandoms, since I seem to be branching out. While we would love to see how you are before the new year, if you want to do it, but not start on helping until the New Year, that is fine. You will be mentoring under someone, who is used to my idiosyncrasy. Is that even a word?!?! Yeah, stuff like that. I know the word I want, but nobody else seems to… LOL!
Amazon. You know the spiel. It really does help. And it is a no cost way to help me out as a thanks. So please click on the banner to be taken to Amazon using my link, that will give me credit for What you buy from using my link as a referral.
I think that is everything! Have a happy Holidays until I get back with you!!!
Murphy is looking good, and you make me tired with all you do. Hope your holidays are wonderful.
