Ok… This month some of my ladies who are either dear friends or betas, (And even both) are hosting writing contests. In order to support them, and to give myself some time for the You Want Blood Awards (Which is starting up on May 1st for Nominations!) I am not hosting the Kittyinaz Writing Contest this month.
I had an awesome picture picked out, but we will just postpone it for next month. Instead. I highly recommend entering in one of the following contests instead:
There is Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Superhero Fest:
Welcome to a brand new contest hosted by your friendly neighborhood author!
You may be surprised to find out but – I LOVE COMIC BOOKS! *gasp!* It’s shocking, I know, and I’m sure it’s caught everyone off guard. But it’s true. I learned to read on comic books; I read them to this day. I love the partnership between art and words and the way so many make them flow seamlessly together to tell really kick ass stories.
Currently, pop-culture is going through what I like to think of as the Age of Comics. It is now cool to like comics. You see them everywhere – cartoons, TV shows, movies… EVERYWHERE and to a comic book nerd like me, it’s heaven. Sadly though, one place I don’t see them as much is in fanfiction. There are authors that write them, of course, but it’s a fandom I would love to see grow and expand. Comic universes are so rich – so ripe for writing – that I decided to hold a fun contest to hopefully inspire new authors to attempt writing in these fun, untapped worlds. Join the dark side – we have Tony Stark! 😉
So I give to you all: Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Superhero Fest!

Don’t forget the new FanFiction site, FanFiction Affliction. I need to get to work on that again. I have too many stories to move over!
I am off to do a bunch of work, and hopefully have some time to write this holiday weekend. I really need the writing time. My muse is starting to hit me up with stories…
