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!

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!)

Bexie – The Best is Yet To Come

Kittyinaz – You’re All I Am Asking For

For past entries, please go here to see them.

Kill Bill Contest:

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.
