Or whichever it is in your timezone.
I hope everyone had a rested weekend, full of romance, or full of Deadpool… And Yes, M took me to see it here on Friday. I loved it, but I do say, don’t take your kids as Ryan says up above. It is bloody. It is full of crude humour. Basically, it is Deadpool and what he is. Loved it!!!!
Saturday I got a surprise, my newest nephew was born. He was an early one, so nothing is ready for him, but he is needing to learn to breathe right before he can come home. The lungs are one of the last to form, and that is where he is having issues. But everything is great with him and Mommy, and we are all volunteering to help in any way.
Last week was a bust in getting much other than some banners for What If done. I am going through the chapters and adding banners, updating the buttons and so on. My new beta for What If, tj6james6 (who rocks!!!!) is going through all the chapters so that she knows what is going on.
I would like to extend a special welcome to all the people from Fanfiction who followed me over here. This site is a piece of work I am proud of and thank 4padfoot constantly for working on it. We pay for the site through the donations of some freaking awesome people. I also have a link to Amazon that if you use it, it costs you nothing, but for referring you to their site I get a small kickback up to 6%. This goes to pay for memory for the shared drive for the betas as well as the place I store all the documents so that all I ever have to do, is be able to log into it to work on stories, no matter where I am, or what I am using. It also pays for the photoshop (CC) that I use to make banners for everyone and myself.
I hate hawking myself out, but hey, if I want to continue, I needed to do something. I will tell you hosting our own site is awesome for the control we have over it. But it has its downfalls. Right now we are working on bringing the site back up to where it was before. We were hacked thanks to an error WordPress made. They corrected it as fast as they could, however, it was a little too late for us. Thanks to it, we have made some improvements to make it MUCH harder to hack into us, even if WordPress messes up. And I will say thank you to the people of Blue Host for working so hard to help us out!
Just to reiterate (from the past and above):
- tj6james6 has taken over What If due to the previous Beta having to back out due to real life. It was not easy to have another work on the story since the beta is one of the ladies who volunteered when I was a nobody. I treasure those ladies the most (and you guys know who you are!) for they took a real risk with me.
- I left Fanfiction (but for one chapter, and the explanation of where I am now and why I left) because of the last straw of them not telling anyone about the fact that 5 other sites wiped everything from their site to use. In other words, since they do NOT have my permission, they are plagiarizing my work. Also, by not telling their followers of the action, has left them open to accidently signing on to one of the sites, giving their passwords to the site as well as being set up to for viruses and malware. Not cool at all.
- I post here first. TWCS is often updated with hours, to days of it being posted here. The rest get it a week or two later. I do post on other sites. Better in Texas, FictonPad, Fanfiction Affliction, A03, and Dokuga for my Inuyasha fic. Fanfiction will only get the first chapter and a chapter telling when I post here.
- This site is the work of the fabulous 4padfoot who puts in many freaking hours! I only come up with SOME of the ideas. The front page and the main pages behind it? All her genius. There is a Site Map for those who wish to use it. I update the main page, as well as add the links in the stories.
- If you find a broken link, or anything not working, please leave a message for us. We often have no idea, since most of us are logged into the backside of the site.
- And there are going to be a lot of posts coming from this weekend on the reblog site. Seems I broke my iPad this time. *hangs head in shame* We are going to wait until I can get a new one, so it will be a little bit (MONTHS!!!!) but then this iPad will be the headache of my husband and not me. (thank god)
- I am working on chapters like I used to in the past. Whatever I feel like. So the updates will be periodic, with no real schedule at first. Once I get back in the swing of working like this again, I will try to stick to a schedule. I post one chapter a week on each story. So even if I have more, I hold onto them to give you guys stuff to read.
And to give you guys a great start to this week, I have a chapter of What If for you!
Enjoy the rest of your week. I hope to work on some stuff since there is not much happening in my life right now. This is subject to change, since I don’t work, I am the one most likely to be called upon to help my brothers.
p.s. Whoever is trying to hack into the site, please stop. We learned a valuable lesson last time. All you are doing is annoying us this time.
