LMAO…. ok how many of you went crazy this past weekend? I didn’t get to, but this coming weekend I will be out of commission as I shop my heart out for Christmas.
So… You know what day it is right?!?!?! Yep. Monday. And instead of offering you a special deal of 99% off, I will give you instead a free gift! A Chapter of AIW!
Click on the banner to get there, the links will be active once the WordPress Whisperer whispers cunningly to the internet and makes them magically appear.
Yeah, I am in a good mood. LOL. I be you guys couldn’t tell could you??? Why?
Because for one thing, it is Christmas. My favorite time of the year. The good vibes off everyone is enough to make anyone smile. To have Christmas songs playing (Joy to the World by Faith Hill right now!!) I was happier until I sat up and realized that I have downsized a pillow from the attentions of Murphy and Connor. Ah well. It’s just money.
LOL.
Ok so this past week when we were supposed to be all doing the holiday thing, some things went down. To answer the questions I am still getting, here is a break down:
Yes, I am phasing out FanFiction.net. This week will be the last chapter for All I Want on that site. I will be publishing the beginning of stories, and that is all. If it comes to the need to delete stuff, then the story is no longer being published there. I will continue publishing here everything. TWCS is another site that hosts my stories as well as A03 and FictionPad. But they are all published here first.
Yes, I am pulling all the Tea Shoppes and stories that have to do with it. This will happen on Wednesday. After a long discussion, my betas convinced me it really is good enough to publish. I didn’t think so. It has not ended, so it will be sold as a book instead.
I am still writing FanFiction. In fact, last night I finished editing the Mummy. And was very upset with myself for leading into the sequel. If I can wrangle the time before I need to do anything, I will start on IND. I find I can edit on my laptop better since I am not talking to everyone. I don’t like to edit. So I am easily distracted. oops.
I also edited a one shot Gyllene loves, so it is off to the betas.
After IND, Clocks is being edited. I plan to have EVERY story I have updates for to be sent off to the Betas soon. So expect more and more to show up for you guys.
Best was opened, but was found to be too tiring for me at 2am to work on. I expect you will be finding that one sent off soon also.
We started a new Facebook group for those who are switching over to WordPress, or who are users of it who wish to find new tricks, talk over issues they are having or so forth. It is a open group, and as people join and ask, we will discuss some items. I did some tutorial screen shots to show how to add media, how to use shortlinks and how to embed links in posts and pages through the use of either pictures or words. It is called WordPress Help for FanFiction
That is the questions I received this week. Here are your answers. Nothing else is being removed at this point. I am planning on finishing all the stories. The reason Tea Shoppe was pulled cause it was an original story being set to the fanfiction worlds.
We held our monthly Banner Contest over in the Kittyinaz Facebook Group. Members who wish to participate often submit their entries when I open the contest up. This month was harder due to the holiday. The first place is the banner of the month on the group page, and 2nd place is the banner for the Kittyinaz Facebook Page. Please see the Banners below to be taken to the pages. Congrats to our winner! (PS, no the banner does not snow on the Facebook Page. But I use these as opportunities to try new things!)
I received one entry. If you had forgotten, you have until midnight to get in your entry, otherwise the one entry wins. Because of the response… This is the last Kill Bill. I will work to find the theme for this month’s contest. I am thinking Christmas….
Amazon.. It is shopping season, and please if you use Amazon, use the link above in the banner to buy from them. It helps me out and does nothing but may help you. For those that rather copy and paste, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=kittyinaz-20 Thanks!!
Murphy!
Good news on that front. He got his shots on Saturday with the normal Vet we use. They are trying to find some flea medicine to use with him since the medication on his mange is really strong. His fur is coming in, and you have above adorable pics last night as he slept while I edited. And yes, that is his tongue sticking out. He is getting the idea of house training, he is actually going to people before he goes inside. The problem is we have no idea if it is for affection or to go out. But he is telling us!
For now, I will let you soak in these things as I introduce the Person of the Week!
This week is Naima Demars.
This woman is amazing. She has never failed to help out in anything we have asked, or to take up causes she finds. If you are on Facebook, you know this woman as the person who shares updates on FanFiction Lovers as well as SVM/TB FanFiction. She was the one who spread the word on the You Got Blood Awards, and who also helped spread the word on the Plagarists. I even saw her comments on the person’s stories that she told them which stories they stole it from!!!!
She is so very loyal to those she sees as friends. Even though English is not her first language, she works with us English speakers. I am constantly amazed.
So please, leave her a kind word on her wall in Facebook. She more than deserves the credit for working to see the SVM/TB Fandom not dying as many have seem to have done. We well appreciate her efforts and continue writing, knowing she will be there cheering us on!
Have fun this week, and I will see if I can get a IND chapter done now.
As you may know, MissRon80 has been the co-writer of my story the Best is Yet To Come. It is my Once Upon a Time story I started because of a dream. She was the beta for it, but ended up rewriting so much of Emma’s POV, I named her a co-author.
In the sad news department, the time has come for former beta and co-writer of this story, MissRon80, to seek her own adventures, and we wish her the very best. In the happy news department, beta Kelpie and I worked so well together that she has stepped in to help co-write this story.. She had become the new Beta of the story, and I absolutely adore her stories. She is also writing some one shots for OUaT. She gets my story, and is going through to tweak Emma towards her vision.
Hopefully, for the fans of this series, Kelpie and I have committed to publishing once a month. It may sound like a long time, but we both have our own stories, and we agreed that this would work. If something happens and we can publish faster. Well ::shrugging:: you guys get a treat. This story unfortunately is not one I can bank chapters since I write from the previous one, send it to my cowriter, and she does Emma, and yeah… you can see what a labor of love this is.
The newest chapter with Kelpie‘s co-authoring ways is below. We will be updating the story with her other tweaks of the character, and I will let you know when the chapters are all updated. For the previous versions, please feel free to visit MissRon80‘s site, where she has my blessing to continue the story in her own fashion.
Yes!!! Many huge thanks to kelpieskorner for her awesome Betaing skills, She has gone back and redone all the chapters for Best. We appreciate it! And I even gave you guys a Gif for it!! (And me to stare at until the next post!)
I have already done Chapter 6, sent on to missron80 to work on, but she works while I don’t, which gives me more time for writing, but even I had to wait a couple of weeks to write this current one.. My Co-author is awesome, and this coming chapter is very pivotal, so be patient!!!!!!!
If you haven’t seen already, I have a tea blog that I am writing about my adventures in blending teas. It is fun, plus it reminds me of what I have already done. I found a blend I used at the beginning I had forgotten about. Go check it out, it gets all excited cause 5 people liked it today. It’s a baby site still.
We also have a new lady for the food blog, so expect to see some changes there also. I’m excited about all this wonderful stuff!!! This is all stuff that means more for you my ladies (And guys if there are any!) Happy Times!
I am still working on You’re. I think there is something still going on with the current chapter, but once I have clarification on posting it officially up, I will let you know. Once I am done with this, I may take a break and work on the story I have now, before getting the new story ready for publishing. Remember, I am trying to give you guys completed stories, but I will go back through the stories to see if I have any chapters that are done, but not edited. Who knows? Maybe I will read one, get all inspired and finish it?
I am trying to make sure there is stuff to read for you guys, so be patient!!!
Enjoy the chapter, remember we will not post this to any other site until Wednesday.
Yep you heard me. A new chapter of The Best is Yet to Come. Not only did Sharon gift me with the chapter, but with the new Banner too! Click on it to get to the story.
This chapter is Emma heavy. Sharon and I are hitting our stride on how to do this. So, expect some adjustments coming. I write the body, and I am to concentrate on Killian. Since I seem to channel him. Sharon gets Emma and she is in charge of her. So basically. I write the episode since I have the iTunes and the nifty Dialogue thingie. I write all those details then gave it to her. The problem, is before this was mostly Killian’s POV. Now Emma is here and we noticed that it is Emma heavy right now, but still. So once she is done with her part, I will take it back and see if Killian needs more work.
This time we left as is, since Emma deserves some input and a chapter on how she is feeling. Not that Killian has nothing to say.
Enjoy. I am cleaning during the day, so I will probably not updating anything until later when I will be thrilled to have sit down time. What if and Revelations remain. I will probably do revelations since if I feel like writing some more on What If, nobody is going to mind right?
Also a tidbit. The stories will be getting top pictures from here on out. Guess who the theme is for OuAt?
This is the newest chapter for Best Is Yet to Come. After this will be all brand new chapters. As I do now, Click the pic for the chapter.
This story is going to be different than normal. See all I do is write the chapter, then MissRon80 adds the change from cardboard characters to fleshed out beings. Since I am normally the one who does this (and I can spend a LONG time doing this!!) This will make this story easier to write.
However, to keep current with what is going on, I will need to read her chapter, then write mine, let her know, she will do her magic, then post. I go back in and add the links and these posts and then add to FanFiction. And repeat as needed.
Normally, I try to write ahead, but with me wanting to write with her in mind, I think this will be the easiest.
Please leave a review. It inspires the two of us. We love this story, but I will admit, sitting in bed yesterday dealing with insurance companies over the damages Mother Nature gave us the night before in a scary hail storm with a touchdown of a minor tornado behind the house (we got it confirmed yesterday with out neighbors and seeing the remains of the trees and stuff), getting reviews made me happier, and REALLY wanting to get back to writing. Instead I ended up with a migraine last night, and a rant to my husband this morning complaining about the weather (it was 80 something yesterday and 64 was the high today) and the heater being on, me not able to write due to the medicine I have to take to make another allergy attack from the whatever kicks out when the heater kicks on. It was bad. I sent it to MissRon80 later when we were discussing the chapter, and she was laughing because my husband carefully texted me that he loves me… a lot… and will be stopping on the way home to get me ice cream.
The reviews I got today inspired me to get up, as well as MissRon80’s chapter made me go HELL YES!! But, I had to wait until my hubby is home so if I fall asleep at the computer, he can wake me. The meds are that strong… The need to write and edit is stronger. 🙂
So, today, missron80 pings me in Facebook Messenger to tell me she is done with the newest edited chapter of The Best is Yet To Come. (Click on picture to go to chapter).
I go out and I am blown away. She didn’t Beta, she worked diligently and made what I wrote go with canon, adding details she had messaged me about and asked all week long. As she tells me, I made the dress, but she added all those tassels, beads and such. To me, that was freaking amazing. Those Tassels, beads and such added to the story making it so much better. I asked if she wanted to continue this way and she said sure.
My response? Is to make her my collaborator on the story. If you are going to pour that much excellent work into my poor little story, by God, you are going to be recognized. I gave her permission to publish it as co-author as long as she names me.
I swear she has stressed about this story more than I have, and it has ignited my love for it again. And she is chomping to get to the new chapter.
Yes this is a redo of the chapter, but there are OVER 1,500 words added and content changed all to the better. Read… She is awesome!
And this is not to say my other Beta’s are not the same. They all are, and they help out, but they help make the grammatical errors and that the story stays in place where it needs to be. They encourage me and help me with any details I need or wonder about. They are the first to jump in conversations either over the group, in person or in our private message forum.
What missron80 has done is actually work with my idea and redid whole portions of it, telling me constantly that she won’t be offended if I took it out. Instead I applauded her efforts, and this is the only way I can express my thrilled expression. This story is complex already and I have a lot on my plate. This makes it where it will be a story I can type out my ideas, and she can reign me in and make it all work without me having to do that.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the details (4 hours to research something that led to nothing today is my proof that I offer) but to have a story where someone else is helping me remember? I can do that. I never understood how collaborations could work… But I can do this…
Read and enjoy. I am off to add this to FanFiction…
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…
