And we have had a doozy of a month!  (I thought the gif appropriate considering where I and many of the ladies I know will be watching tomorrow.)

I finished and published some new stories.  You guys are now in the possession of the only chapters of Edge I had, and you started the Sun Holds the Moon.  There are new chapters for Tin Man, and there are two more stories off to the beta, Game of Life and Dying to Start.

I started on the database.  I currently have 496 stories in there.  They are from Inuyasha, Alice, Alice in Wonderland, Once Upon a Time.  AS well as the one I needed for the YWBAs, SVM/TB. And one lonely Twilight since one of my SVM/TB authors wrote it, and I put it in while I had it up. Last night I finished inputting all the Fanfiction stories from my favorites into the database.  Thanks to some awesome authors who sent me their stories, we stand at 342 stories in my database. Yes.  342 stories, and I only got up through the e’s on the blogs.  I am about to go tripping through the blogs I love next week to start inputting them.

As I mentioned before, if an author would like to be included or help out, from any fandom, contact me, and I will send you the spreadsheet.  Otherwise, this is a lot of work, and since I am done with the easy one, (fanfiction) I have to go to each site, and go to your last chapter and see the date.  That way if the story is complete, I can put the date in there.  The date will come in handy for contests.  For now, the crossovers and the YWBA’s will be the ones hit, but a lot of people seem to like to see how long ago something has been completed, or how long a current WIP has not been updated before they read.   I don’t blame them, I like to know that too.

So if an author wishes to help, I will post all the stories you send me that you wrote.  As a thank you.  a huge thank you!! And for those of you in the SVM/TB world, I am noting who I have reviewed and not, so I can add that to the site.  And to help me decide who needs to be reviewed next.  Remember this is the same information that can be found on Fanfiction searching for a new story.  In fact less, since I won’t do reviews and all that jazz.

I also did start a new fic, that I write on my times off.  4Padfoot was awesome and made a video prologue for it.  Go check it out.  It is freaking awesome.  I am up to Chapter 7, and when I reach 10, I will be ready to edit and send off what I have to the beta.  10 seems a good number to let the muse flow and let me get the idea of what is going on…

Then there is this coming month.

The Non-Canon Awards will have some new authors soon.  We have one more story for Mavrosal, and then I need to write a bunch of reviews for stories.  I did find some one shots I didn’t read somehow on some of these stites, so I will be off to add them to the site.  As well as the two big stories I have read (and reading) for me to review.

The Crossover site will be taking off once I am done with all these entries into the database.  No sense in repeating myself, when I will be copying and placing these into the site from the same source.  I also want to let the stories that I reviewed have a badge of some type.  Maybe to have a little picture of the story?  We will see.  But with my interest being wrapped up in finishing this database, you better plan on me using it as much as possible to base some stuff out of!

Then there is the Writing Challenge for this month.  The pic above will take you to the page with the rules and a better view of the pic.  I had posted this as a share on my personal wall, and some of the ladies who are friends of mine commented that I need to use it for the writing contest.  They were telling me all the ideas they got off it, so, I better see some stories!  I can see many ideas myself.. Like a Supernatural (which cause I write Cross the Line and it has Supernatural it is allowed, see how this works?), The Vampire Diaries, the Originals, TB/SVM and so many more.   So have fun with the ideas.

I am planning to be done with the database this month (Hopefully by the end of the week next week, but it all depends on how long it takes for the individual sites), so I will be working on the last of the edits then I will be working on the original fiction.  For those of you who were Beta Readers, contact Rissa.  You guys will see the posts for the readers to know when I am posting.  These are raw works.  No editing.  Me writing, then posting for them to see.  Once I am done, I will be hopefully continuing on to the next book.  I will then go back and edit the books after the ladies get their comments in.  Then comes the worse part for me, to send it out to my betas and get their input on what needs to be changed.  After everyone agrees, that I have no spelling mistakes and so forth, I will start the process of trying to get someone to pick it up.

During this time, after the raw part is done, I will be back to finish the stories In The End and Edge.  I want to also start on the other works but those two I will finish up.  So you will get parts of other stories while I work on those ones.

I also want to work on Fanfiction Affliction to get my stories over there.  If you haven’t visited it, I strongly encourage you!  There is freedom of posting, and it’s always good to have alternatives.  For those who were in Crossover haven, I will be sending out a post soon to you ladies.

Now will all this be done next month?  No.

The You Want Blood Awards will be starting tomorrow, and once the nominations are in, we will be working to verify they fall inside the rules, as well as getting everything else ready.   It really is more work that you guys will ever imagine.  Shoot it was more than we thought it would be when we started!  But it is so awesome to feel when we list the nominations and from there the feelings are even better.  People are excited and so forth.

So that is my game plans.  Hopefully it will all work out.  I honestly can’t wait until I am done with the database stuff so I can move on to the part that I love, and you guys love.  I have Dying to finish editing, Clocks,best and Some Sacred Place in Time to edit before I am back writing.  So close…..

Enjoy your day, and for those in my group, you have until 9pm CST to get any banners in for the Banner Contest for the Group.   Next month maybe we do a rehash of the banners that haven’t won and let you guys vote on them?  I will talk with you on that!
