Yesterday was a day off to the Doctor for my dad, and by the time I got home, I was wiped. so.. sorry!!!!
And.. no throwing anything, but today is the last chapter I have written for Edge that is going to be published. However, Meridian gave me an idea for a conversation with Sookie and Bella. *snickers* I can’t wait for that to be worked into the story!
So no being mean to the author… The muse hates it and really hates rotten fruit. She turns her nose up at it. And then somehow convinces my other side of the brain to go on strike and nothing gets done. nothing. Not even the dang database! *grumbles* It’s not like I want to spend all my time on the dang thing. I have to keep reminding myself. One time deal. Once done, I am done. Just need to add in the new stuff.
Talking about the Database…I put a call out to my group and the TB/SVM Fanfiction group in Facebook asking for help. So far hisviks and Gyllene have gifted me with their work. Thanks so much ladies!!! I have left spreadsheets to be loaded in those groups. If you want to help out by doing your stories… well there are pluses to this. I find I just upload the spreadsheets. If you are kind enough to give me all the information, I am going to load the entire thing into the database. Not just the stories I read. Just saying… So if you write in fandoms, (and no they don’t have to be TB/SVM they are just what I am going after first.) here is a glimpse of what I am using again. There are additional fields in the database for other fandoms and places I go to read their stuff… But they are cut out of the picture for now.
And if you don’t read California Kat… Why the heck not? She is stupendous.. (and gave me the easiest way to load the rest of the one shots into here!) She is also the one who convinced me that telling you guys what I am doing may generate help. Right now, I go into the sites, and have to look for the completed date, and or the last update (for the awards next month, no worries if you didn’t update until later, I verify any non-completed again, but for those who updated in the period of time, well….that is one less step for me to check on!). For WordPress that often means I am looking at the first comment since there is often no other way to get the date. This all takes time, and ironically, Fanfiction (the one I try to find other alternatives to link you guys to) is the easiest one to get the information from. I do not even have to leave the author pages!
If you want to help me out, contact me. I will be happy to send the spreadsheet and save me some work. (I know doing EricIzMine’s is going to be a lot of work. But dang it the lady deserves to be here!!! I reread her stuff all the time!)
I am also… *looks sheepish* getting lots of stories to be adding to the non-canon awards for reviewing. I am right now working on Carol E. Stewarts Preemptive Strike. My life is sooo hard. Read stories and then let you guys know what I think of them. All the while, getting me revved up to write away on ITE when I get back to fanfiction. Full Time.
I say Full Time since I am being pummeled by my muse with an idea. The betas are going gaga all over it, and last night I had an idea I am waiting on Miss 4Padfoot to get home to see if it can be done. *rubs hands gleefully* Since we all know no writing makes Kittyinaz a sad kitty… Well, we gotta keep the muse happy right? She has been rebelling this week (and how I know she talks that other side of my brain into her plans) wanting to write the next section. I think she even has Fate on her side. If Tuesday is any indication, and today, she very well might!
The story? Well, I will give you this wonderful teaser of a banner that one of my ladies in my group made me:
Didn’t surfgirl11 do an awesome job? I am looking forward to seeing what she does for the banner contest. She has made a lot of banners, and I highly suggest you check out her page: http://surfgirl1fanfic.weebly.com/banners-and-covers.html
To explain this one would be hard, since the Muse is being very sly. She is sitting in the corner right now enjoying her Spice of Life tea and smirking at me. She keeps doing things to make the story change. tossing out the odd idea when I am trying to sleep. She really needs to get her priorities straight. I am able to act on them if she would do them other times. Duh! And it is not like I don’t!
Anywho. I wanted to remind you guys that the wonderful 4Padfoot made me a video for Every Dark Night. Here it is:
And if you watched that, you should be ready for this chapter:
I am off to work on other things, and making sure that the chapter for HP tomorrow is ready. The Facebook group has had this chapter and will know the chapter for tomorrow before you guys get the posts. I like to reward my ladies who follow me over there. And you guys get the chapters 2 or more weeks before the other sites. Well except TWCS, but there is a secret weapon in their arsenal. Also I reminded myself of a thing I need to go back and replace some backgrounds for the new Character banners. Duh!
Enjoy the chapter… And I will talk to you guys later!
