Congrats to Jenna Tee for winning the Challenge! And huge congratulations to all who were awesome and submitted to the contest. For all those that entered, If you post on your own sites, and/or extend the entries, please let me know. And if you post on FanFiction.net, let me know and I can work with you on making a banner for that site.
As of right now, there are no entries received for the October Contest, but if you email me, I will be happy to discuss extensions if needed If I receive nothing by the 22nd, I will declare the contest closed. If you end up being the only one entering, I will still make the banner for you.
Now for the Annual Christmas Challenge!!!
Once upon a time, Carols were just another form of story-telling. An example of this would be the famous A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. And if you think of most of our Christmas carols, they tell stories. So this year, I am going to open the contest to be inspired by Christmas stories, no matter if they are carols, actual stories or so on. ANYTHING inspired by one of those will be accepted. It can be one or more stories combined to enter. You have until Thanksgiving to send entries, and I will give a leeway of until Saturday after Thanksgiving to have entries in, since I will spending Thanksgiving cooking, and Friday shopping and/or decorating. (I say shopping but it will be watching people be stupid. I can’t help it, it makes me crack up each and every year). But I will have the entries up by the 1st of December for voting unless someone contacts me for an extension.
Click on the banner for the Christmas Carol Contest, (oops should say challenge!) to get more information, as well as the Participation banner.
Good luck to everyone, and I look forward to stretching my banner making skills!!!! (and my computer, since Natsgirl banner last year was awesome, and it wouldn’t export out because of the size, but I even had it snowing in her snowglobe!)
I will be doing an email later on other stuff, once I am caught up on things!
And again, congratulations to everyone who entered in the August contest!
So I have a present for you guys. Technology removed another present, but the super beta known otherwise as tj6james6 is working to redo all the corrections and notes that she had already done for a chapter. Stupid Technology. First, it made me lose days in redoing all my settings and drivers with the new update, then I have lost Outlook 2016 connecting at all to my email. Now a chapter has somehow lost all of it’s comments, fixes and so on. And that had been after a huge snafu with Drive deciding not to sync with anyone.
Now it is telling me I need room on my computer. Wonder why? (iTunes!!!! I’m telling you I load so much music it ain’t funny! This will be the second time I filled a computer with music…)
With all the hiccups we have been having (and I am still blaming Windows for 99.99999% of it since all the issues have arrived after the update!) I am happy to present the next chapter of Tired Wings.
Now this story is completely written, and I even know what I want to do for the couples in the new ones, but I am thinking I need to wait at least for Ragnorak. Just to tell you what is going on. There is no cliff-hanger in this one, it ends decisively. I just know my couples and I wanna write them!!!!
I even wrote a chapter last night to Sacred. I have been stuck moving on Part II with it, but Heathens by twenty one pilots was stuck in my head all day, and I found it perfect for the catch-up chapter.
I have been editing Tired to get it off my plate, up to chapter 7 which I just need to run through again to make sure, since I really didn’t change much in it last night. (I have been averaging doubling the chapters the previous days.) So I want to go over it to see if it really is ready to send to the beta.
While you are here, why don’t you stop by the Writing Challenge? It will be ending in less than 25 hours, my time. That is ALSO the ending for submissions for the October Challenge also. If you need an extension, let us know.
And… When it is over… I will be announcing the start of the Christmas Challenge. I do this each year, and figure if something ever happens, that I will hold this one every year from now on. I will be bringing back the Fairy Tales contest as well next year, since alot of people enjoyed it.
So…Go grab a drink, make yourself comfy, (For the colder temperature, get yourself a tea or hot chocolate. Unless you have alot to still do or just starting your day then grab your wake-up beverage of choice.) Settle in and read a chapter of Tired Wings are Falling, then mosey over to the challenge to read (and leave a review for the authors to be able to reply to in 25 hours or less depending when you read this!) the awesome stories that I have made available to you.
Then if you are interested, I will tell you the Christmas Challenge IS on the site ready to be looked over if you know where to look for it…
As you most undoubtedly know, the final rounds of the You Want Blood Awards are live.
And I made it to the finals rounds in the following categories:
Hybrid Award for Picking Down Clocks as well as Put Your Feet Up To The Edge
Favorite Author (which I am completely thrilled and squealing about more than you can imagine!!!!)
Van Gogh Award.
So.. please go vote for your favorites. There is only one vote per entry, so make them count!!!!!
And good luck to all the awesome stories and authors that made it through to this point!!!
As for me, I am going to work on editing, I have been very sick and working to get better. I need to write, but heck, I can’t sit for very long, but dang am I bored to death of reading stories. LOL!
And I watched an interesting Brain Teaser that talked about shadows. And realized how I can type, listen and so forth. Interesting lessons learned today!
The banner will take you to the ballet form.
And don’t forget we have some awesome stories as well here to read. As well as seeing some of my talents at banner making for the Outlaws and Angels contest.
But I have finally gotten time to make the banners and host the contest.
And while the site is not moved, nothing will be happening until after this contest is over.
But for this contest, I will say the Banners are all different. And mixed up.
Let me explain.
The Turning Point was something different completely but was scrapped when a mistake made the banner more awesome than I could imagine. And even then, I played with it for awhile, trying to change the color of the border, but it wouldn’t work. But I am seriously in love with this banner.
Next, I tried to work on Worth Fighting For. I had this idea of a wolf running being the main image, but nothing worked. I seriously worked on it for hours, and finally gave up. I went on to Charming Outlaw’s Angel, after asking the author a question. To only find out the image I had been working on all this time was perfect for this story with tweaks.
Then two nights ago, I woke with an idea for the banner for the last one and had it done in a half an hour. I will tell you that it has a lot of the story points hidden in there.
Now, The wonderful, amazing, completely awesome 4Padfoot, who does the poll, not only did that but also made it where the contest is live as of now. We truly had some awesome entries, and I hope I have done them justice with the banners I made them.
The contest is on until the 15th, (which is the due date for the other contest entries) and I will announce the name as soon as I can.
After this one and the Other Worlds contest, the last one will be for the Annual Christmas contest. Once I get the inspiration for the banner, I will make it and let you guys loose on it. The entries will be due before the 1st of December, just what day I will be cutting them off will be what I need to decide. For I will be home this year, and decorating the house is my thing for the day after Thanksgiving, and sometimes takes a weekend.
What can I say? I love Christmas!!!!
Enjoy the stories, the banner on the top will take you to the main page of the contest. And make sure you vote and leave comments, which the authors can reply to once the contest is over at midnight on the 15th of October.
It truly is amazing the stuff you can find on the internet. I searched Alexander Skarsgard leprechaun and the picture above is what popped up. I think it is fitting for today. Sorry I missed posting last week, but Daylight Savings in the USA screwed me up. Losing one hour completely wrecked my week. I…
Can someone please explain to me why I am seeing more snow in March than I did in the entire months of December and January???? I should be getting ready for spring, not worrying about shoveling 8 inches of snow. The only way snow in March is acceptable is if it this is part of…
Hello lovelies. I cannot guarantee I will be back to publishing weekly, but I will try. My dear beta, kleannhouse, is in high demand trying to juggle the stories of three writers. She is amazing and she makes me laugh with all of her comments on my stories. This one especially. I started this story…
