I am here with another chapter for Harry Potter. I know.. no cheering needed. We want to stretch out these last chapters….
Now here is the thing, I never though that all this would take as long as it has. Not in a million years. I expected to be close to finishing my book by now, not still working on the database and having stories to edit when I am done. So we have chapters left to go, but soon we will be running out of the ones I wrote and edited.
For the database, I worked through to the T’s on Harry Potter on Fanfiction. I will be picking it up probably Monday. Depending if Monday is the same as it has been, or if it is one I can get right to work. *shrugs* There is so much going on anymore, that I cannot help but deal with it all on Monday and then move on to working. But we have 1158 stories in the database. WE are in the M’s in the blog (going backwards). Newer authors, please drop us a line. We are working off the blogs I follow, and you newbies are not on there. American Android I know is one.. I know there are more. but heck, I draw a blank.
When the inputting of all this information into the database is all done, and you see any mistakes, or that we are missing some stories you think are awesome, well, there will be a way to add to the list. Right now 4Padfoot is playing with the information and we are thinking that this is going to have to be located off my site. We are not close to being finished, and already it is like 3 times the original files size. And to think, we are working off what I read. I have said it in my group and to 4Padfoot, I read too much!!!!
Speaking of reading, you do remember there is a Reblog I do for the sites right? Yep. Click on that banner above, and you can go there and sign up. All the blogs I follow, when they post, I try to reblog as soon as I can. If anything, look through it when you are looking for something to read, it would be a great place to start.
Oh yeah… Go Vote!!! The You Want Blood Awards are open, and you can vote once a day for three entries in each category. I did mine yesterday, and I will be going after this post to vote for mine today. Remember, there are alot of the ladies who help out in my site in there. In fact….
Bertie Bott, the lady who beta’d this chapter and my Harry Potter stories as well as When I Pretend, is up for one!!! She often will step in and beta chapters for me when others can’t for the TB stories. I am thrilled that she along with, well most of my beta team is on the list!!! Gyllene76 is 4Padfoot’s minion, Meridian is the Queen as well as the beta for the Set you Free Trilogy and I Never Did. MistressJessica1028 does the Mummy, and is going to do Clocks when I edit it. The Queen of Delicious aka TexasEx is going to be doing Some Sacred Place in Time. Royal Ember is my bouncer of ideas for Some Sacred along with 4Padfoot.
How to choose?!?!?!?!?
This is the deal with alot of the votes, so this way, I can at least vote once for the other stories and then concentrate on the ones I want to win. I have a strategy. Now if it works, it would be awesome!
I hate to do it, but don’t forget I am up for three awards: Roller Coaster for All I Want, Best Crossover for Put your Feet Up to the Edge which is the sequel to Every Dark Night. and finally, for Van Gogh. All of these I am thrilled to make it this far, but I won’t lie and not tell you I am hoping to walk away with at least one place. Any place…
There is the Writing Contest, as well!
And tonight is the last night for the Historical Contest, so hurry over there to vote.
Me? I am going to shower off the spring cleaning I did today so I can get into my fresh clean sheets, for me to sleep and then wake to continue. I got my side of the office done, (I even went through my pens!) and did the Bathroom enough for me to know I need to tackle that one day when I have some organizational items. Surprise anyone? Shouldn’t. But tomorrow is the main parts of the house. All the areas no one cleans most of the time, like the cabinet that holds all the Painted Ponies I collect. I really need to buy another one… lol.
But I will relax for the rest of the night, and write some more chapters for Royal Ember and 4Padfoot. Otherwise they may hurt me…
