For those that don’t remember the posting schedule, here it is again:
Sunday – None
Monday – All I Want
Tuesday – None
Wednesday – I Never…Did
Thursday – Wisdom, Justice and Love
Friday – Heavenly on Kittyinaz, Cross The Line on AoA
Saturday – The Mummy, or Clocks
As you can see, we have a lot to do, and we are not looking at the ones I have not finished yet. I Never Did is waiting on me to reread and make sure the errors that had been found by our very own wonderful Continuity Beta is fixed. For the stories that I have been working on getting out, well as soon as I get them to the betas, they will tell me what day they want to aim for.
And remember, This is NOT a guarantee. I have a real life as well as my betas, and am very insistent on them doing their own thing. And of course there are family emergencies, or kids stuff and adult stuff and … well you get the idea.
Then there are the times when I was detressing, making a banner for adoption, and the perfect song along with the banner inspires me… to make this:
Yes. A new story. I spent the last two days working it out, and TexasEx has already claimed it. I have to admit, that is one of the few banners I just stare at shocked I made it. As always, you can click on it to be taken to the placeholder that actually has a description. No chapters yet, I am working to get it written down and then move on to finish Clocks and so on, but don’t be surprised when I am writing Aos Si and In The End, this will be played with.
I think I need a straightjacket for the muse.
Also, (yes I am making you read all this!) I finally finished the banner for Looney Tooney!!! I want to give a huge shout out to Ms. A. Taney!!! She is the one who drew for me the characters. Yes. She DREW them. She is WAY more talented than I am!!! I can draw stick figures. I can color like you wouldn’t believe it, but actually draw the stuff??? No. As always, click on the banner to reread this masterpiece!!!!!
Monday’s chapter is already sent to me. I just need to look it over and make the banner for it. Tomorrow is for me to work on the database if I want. I may need a day of rest. I’m still in pain, but so much needs to be done, including….
Christmas. Yes. I am half Russian and my Dad celebrated Russian Christmas. So I remember the day in honor of him. He loved it as much as I did, and my mom jokes about it, saying she didn’t really remember it when she was married to him. But all in all, it’s fun, and it harms no one. So today, I am taking it down. <sighs> The house is looking so bare now…
Don’t forget:
Writing challenge for this month!!! I have a lot of positive feedback in the group.
Amazon is still around.
Reblog page. I went through and updated the theme, so it is set for the Winter time. lol.
So the chapter today. I will say, that I had to do a lot of work, to make it understandable what happens. Many thanks as always to MistressJessica1028 for her invaluable work for this chapter. Like I said, she has finished the story, so these ones will be updating…As long as I am still ok!
Click on the above banner, and it will take you to the chapter. The linking is not active in the story, but you should be fine until then….
First off, here is the chapter for tonight. And it is still Saturday by my time!!!
After many incarnations and a call to Google, you have a chapter.
And I am working on Clocks, we just will be rearranging some chapters around for it to make more sense. One good thing that comes from working ahead. We have a chance to look at it and while scratching our heads, we try to figure out what the heck were we thinking.
So… the bad news. I am having a hard time finding time myself to work on stuff, and my time will be growing shorter here soon. I need to start baking. And when I say start, I mean exactly that. So far I am making pumpkin rolls, banana bread, snickerdoodles, capt’n Crunch Berries bars, Peanut butter covered pretzels, Butter Cookies, (Which are not what you think, they have coconut and oatmeal in them!), Gingersnaps, Smore’s Candy (Cookies, but they call I candy). And that is just the start of it. I look around and see if there is anything else I want to try, because when I am done, that is it. No more for a couple of months.
I am making it for Marty’s ladies at work, for my family, for my mom’s work and so forth. I will probably hear from my Kitchen Aid mixer that it quits for good, but hey. It’s so handy to use!!!
The short of this is that, if I hardly have time, how can I expect my betas to have it? I don’t. So here is the deal. If they want to get a chapter done, and build up, they can. If they want to have it published, I will do that too. It’s up to them. If they want to run away and not look back until after the new year, they are welcome to that.
I just cannot ask more from these awesome ladies than I can from myself. And I refuse to stress out this year. And knowing me as I do, I will. I have already started and calmed down when I pointed out to myself it was the 6th of December and I am ahead of the shopping and so on. It just doesn’t feel like it!
The Good news? I will be still working on things, so it will build up on the betas, and give more for updates. Just I won’t be pushing myself so hard, and spending the time with my hubs, who is working stupid insane shifts. Someone at his work just realized it was the end of the year, and they need more engines out. Duh!!!
Here are the reminders!
Amazon. I am using my mom’s sign on, while I shop so I can give myself the credit also. I also made the link my default one. I have a favorites bar at the top. You just have to use the link, then click on the button below to add it to the quick favorite bar. Easy!
The Kittyinaz Writing Challenge for this month is Christmas Carols. I am going to be writing one here to show what we mean. I was listening to Christmas Nights in Blue by Transiberian Orchestra on the way home tonight and got the idea for the song. Any Christmas song will do folks! though I think somehow I promised to do another one…. Rissa…… As always, click the banner to go to the page for more details.
Also my ladies wanted me to remind you guys that if you would like to join the ranks of my betas, we are looking for some people who are willing. You will be working with another beta that is used to working with me, and they are the ones that will give you the ok to be allowed into the ranks. Once you are one of us, there are benefits galore! At least that is what they tell me. Please contact Meridian on Facebook if you are interested. Yes, you need to be on Facebook, and it would be highly suggested to be part of the group. We use it to talk to each other since it is often an easy way to see each other.
I think that is it… I hope you enjoy the chapter. Hubs is home, so I need to make nice with him! I have a one shot that I need to look over the notes from the beta, then make the banner for it… So you will see me shortly.
Her stories are down. All of them. Harley, who was the secret ok’r for me to start publishing, is thrilled. So am I!!!
First all, I am so really thankful to all of you for what you did. You stood alongside me, and I heard so few (Like under 5) naysayers but had hundreds of people pour in their support. This is amazing. I really hate to go through and post another post today on all my FanFiction, but I am unsure what to do. I have so many people who follow me!!! I think I will reload the page for my readers to know it was resolved…
Harley’s thank you can be found here:
Now for the bad news.
I will be moving myself off of FanFiction. It should have never come down to this. This should have been solved the first time we brought it up months ago, and we move on with our lives. Instead, Harley lost all those reviews, and for what? A petty disagreement on the behalf of the Plagiarist? A cheap shot?
This worries me. Seriously. Think of what this can mean. IF someone doesn’t like you, they can report you and get everything deleted.
I have my stories elsewhere, and I will admit, I am a packrat and keep every single review in my inbox on my email. All sorted into folders for each story split into their bigger parts. C’mon. This is me!!!! Not organize it?!!?!? Yeah right!
But for others… this is not an option. I did it because I had a wise mentor who told me to do it, to be able to just open a folder and see all the people who have reviewed. My first story? 259. 184 of those come from FanFiction. 821 is the highest reviews from FanFiction.. but per my count, 1,320. Wow.. There is a reason I am going to do Edge first. Dang do you guys rock!!! You’re will be next since it is 42 off from a thousand.
But still. This is not an option for many. So FanFiction rips that little thrill from Harley and others it has deleted. And it leaves many of her readers confused for awhile on if she is posting or stopped. Not right.
So… I will be moving to posting only on sites that don’t require my beta Meridian to spend extra time to rip out the items that would violate TOS. It is hard enough to post on other sites. I will miss the traffic I get from FanFiction, but can you guys really blame me? No matter how careful I am, all it will take is someone being petty to have it all ripped away anyways.
I do post on TWCS (Thanks! You know who!!!) A03, and here. FictionPad is another place I am posting. I am looking into BetterinTexas, but since I got this site, I am not seeing me moving over there also.
We will do this in a way that there is no doubt to the readers of the stories that they are moved. Everything will be finished. For the lady who asked about Tea Shoppe, it is being reworked since when I went back to it, I can’t write in past tense anymore. It messed it all up and I spent more time trying to figure out the right word than paying attention to the story. It is still a favorite. I am clearing the slate of the smaller stories so I can concentrate on the epic ones better.
For now, celebrate the win as we all are. (I’m opening up my Appletini!) Read the new Mummy Chapter. I am making the banner for Cross the line, but the chapter is ready to go. Give me some time before you click the Cross the Line banner below.
Mummy:
Cross The Line:
Remember, this is the last story post until Monday, December 1st for stories. My ladies are taking a time out for their families.
Also, I had one lady kindly ask me for an update on Murphy. So here it is:
He is off the Allergy pills as of today. He an Connor played all day, woke me up as they ran masquerading as a herd of elephants up and down my hallway. He is starting to grow his hair, and his head is no longer stiff and coarse. There is no bones showing on him now, beyond healthy. This little dog is a fighter, a survivor. He is adorable. Now if he will only learn to be potty trained….
See you guys later (Since you know I will wish you Happy Thanksgiving!!!)
It’s my rendition of the Saturday Evening Post. And I spent most of the day either in bed trying to sleep, or taking meds. Sometimes I HATE insomnia. Ok.. I always hate it. Specially when I had been doing pretty good, one day can ruin it all and I end up spending more time trying to feel good, when it feels like I am getting something. But normally I am not. Ah well.
Today’s Offering: The Mummy/Twilight.
Click the banner to be taken to it.
Just a reminder of the tentative Schedule that we are working on per the schedule we have posted in our chats:
Sunday – None (But I am off this day along with all of you!)
Monday – All I Want
Tuesday – None
Wednesday – I Never…Did Posting all the chapters previous to this day on the other sites.…
Thursday – Wisdom, Justice and Love
Friday – Heavenly on Kittyinaz, Cross The Line on AoA
Saturday – The Mummy, or Clocks
This is tentative. Meaning, if I am not feeling good, or the betas are not feeling good, their family comes first and so on happens, it is able to be skipped. We try to stick to it, knowing how much you guys like to read your favorites on the days you normally get it, but the holidays are coming up. That means more Betas doing other things and that I might actually be busy. ::author pauses for gasps of shock:: Yes. This is the time of year I go visiting and do holiday stuff too.
I will warn you the weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are all considered holidays by me, and I enforce them on the betas. So don’t expect anything those weeks. They all have lives and since we all do this for free, I want them to enjoy that time. A lot of them write also. So basically, I am spelling this out, so you guys know to give us a break. Last year at this time I was in AZ, and I wrote All I Want in those weeks. Just saying. Good things can happen. Just we dont’ want to have to do it.
Ok.
General information as always.
Kill Bill. Entries are due at midnight on the 30th. You guys asked this from me, and I am willing to give it a go. Last time there were two entries. If no more are entered, I will be retiring Kill Bill.
Amazon, As always, the link is to make it easier to click it to go straight there. If you make the page your favorite when you arrive, you will always have link giving me credit. Thanks for all the clicks, it is helping!!
Reblog page. Yes I reblog everything I can. Sometimes, I forget and delete on my iPad. For some reason, on the iPad it hides the reblog box behind the banners on most pages, but not all of them. So I try!
Other than that, I think I will be going to rest. I know Bertie Bott is trying to get to Cross the Line over in Anthem of Angels, but she isn’t feeling too well. I swear, I sometimes think we do spread our germs through viruses on the computer!! We often all get sick together!
YEAH!!!! I got to sleep in!!! OMG it felt so good. Not to rush out of bed, to take out puppies and so on.
So today is the day I know at least the ladies in the Kittyinaz Facebook Page have been waiting on. They have been teased about this story for awhile, and I know they will be happy to finally be able to read this one in the full unedited version!
Yes. The Mummy/Twilight Crossover is now happening! The first chapter sets up the theme, the idea of the story. This is a short one for me, but it will consist of three minor stories in one. The first one is done, and I am working on editing it right now. Well I would be but it’s the weekend and I am normally working on Anthem of the Angels universe. I need to write more stories for it, and I will be doing that right after I post this and do all the sharing and so on.
There is the cover page…
And for those ladies who have been following this the entire time:
Click on the appropriate banner to get where you need to. There is a character page, and as I go through editing, I will be adding characters I think you need to know.
Reminders:
Well you know these. I will just do the Amazon link in case you guys are shopping online.
So enjoy your Saturday, and while it is short, I can’t wait to see your impressions. And Mucho Gracias go to MistressJessica1028 who beta’d this bad boy. And to the ladies in the Beta chat who encouraged me to write this when even I was going… WTH? Thanks for taking a chance with me ladies!
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…
