So today started off crappy.  I was very upset, and had considered taking myself off Facebook completely.  I decided to stay away instead, since I do more than sit on there, I run my group, and I chat with the Betas on it.  It is how we talk and communicate.

See, I fucked up yesterday.  I made a mistake and pissed off some very good friends.  I don’t often make huge public apologies, cause let’s face it, I am of the species Homo Sapiens.  And we don’t’ admit when we mess up often.  But I did.  So I apologized yesterday aka this morning, and I am doing it here, since my fuckup was on here.

But today, 4Padfoot was hitting the messenger, and I caught it once by accident, something about my video being worked on.  I smiled, but went on reading What If so I can work on the edits, ignoring the Messenger while on my iPad.  Then…She told me it was done.

I couldn’t stay away after that.

The Kittyinaz household only has myself and the pets home.  And ironically, they are all here in the office while I worked.   However, the dogs were running around earlier as I squealed, then squealed again and again as I watched the video.  Anyone passing by may wonder what was going on.  LOL!

Since my belief in the world is upright, and I am not kicking myself heavily for a mistake I made, I finished up the banner finally for Light up the Path.  Seriously, this past week really has been bad with Drama, and last night was the last straw.  I couldn’t make a banner for the chapter all week, and have some BAD examples of how badly they sucked that I promptly deleted once I made the one that worked.  Oi Vey.

Before that mess up happened, I played with the site.  I got the Amazon ads to run.  Now here is some information… Off to the right, you will see a mp3 player.  For now, this will showcase the song from every story current.  Yes, that means when you go into the latest chapter for any story, the song snippet is there.  If you decide to buy any from there, they can be added to iTunes or any place.  And yes, it credits me.  The ads also link to the product and give me credit.  If you click on any and go from that spot to shopping, I get credit for the entire purchase.

Thank you all for your support during Christmas since it is going to be used to help the site. We are thinking about adding music for each chapter and so forth.  I am also replacing the home page banners to reflect the current stories being updated.  If you click on the banner showed, it will take you to the cover page for the fic. I am thinking of having contests to replace those banners on the Facebook Group.  This time, I did them, but I am going to start a thread on the group, and Open it for others to showcase their talents.

I have also done away with the chapters on the side, since it was getting to be ludicrous.  I am also looking for any suggestions.  As for the ads, if you want space on the site, we can talk.  Betas, as a thank you, get free advertising.  I have thought about leaving doing a spot for donations, for those that don’t shop Amazon.

So where am I on the whole editing process?  I have finished LoTR, and Game of Life.  I am working on What If right now, and then I will be doing the following:  Edge, (yes the sequel to Ed!!) Dying to Start Again, ITE, Clocks, Revelations, Tin Man, and Best.  When I think I am done, I will be double checking all the documents, and making sure that there are no more chapters hidden up my sleeve.  Everything will be sent to the Betas.

Then I will be taking a break to work on my database for the recs.  I am participating in HisViks’s WordPress idea.  I will be donating all the fics I have recommended once I get done adding them to the database.  Well all the TB/SVM.  I know many of you are wondering why am I doing it.  See, I read.  ALOT.  And to update the Rec pages, was a lot of work.  Since you guys hit it up so much, I wanted to make it easier to update.  I also wanted to add the blog stories as well.  It is a slow process now, but once it is done, it will be adding as I go.  I also needed this to be done before awards come up.

As for the awards, well let me tell you, I have huge respect for anyone who does them!! You truly need to know the fandoms to do this.  As much as I read True Blood and SVM, there were still some fics I never heard of nor the authors, and luckily someone in the group of ladies who did it, knew them.  WE had planned to do it for all the fandoms that had vampires in it, but frankly, we ran out of time.  I would love to do the other fandoms, but I don’t know Vampire Diaries enough, and need more than me for Twilight.  I though of doing one for crossovers only, but again, need more than me.

Now for the stuff you have been waiting on, I have two chapters for today, and the video!!!

Ok.. First, Don’t forget to read, comment and vote on the stories you like for last month’s Writing Challenge, nor forget the new challenge.
