Since I didn’t get a post out for you to read on… I will unearth this story that is a multi-chapter story for TB. Most of you missed the post about it, since I posted it in it’s entirety instead of posting one a week. Which I may not do again since it makes it harder for you guys to find them then.
Description: A rock is thrown from the far past. A future with a child is given up, a death is not as it seems. Everything is going to change. Or else the end of all is going to come. Gift for Natsgrl1. E/S
This story was written for the Fanfic Exchange by Queen of Area 5. Who was wonderful with giving me the extra time to finish it. I wrote 27 chapters, edited and sent them to her after my beta, Christine jumped in and did the impossible. It went over the 30 days, partly cause I couldn’t come up with an idea no matter how much I tried.
Then I saw a picture of Cam, and the whole story fell into my head with him replacing the actor who played Warlow. It has aspects of Doctor Who in it, (for those that love the 10th doctor, you might recognize the parts) But if you don’t know, I cover it enough not to leave you hanging. Just a little extra something, something for you. Also, those who read the Deathstalker series by Simon R. Green, there is a hint in there about the books. I think I even stole a little bit from the Inheritance Sage by David Webber.
What can I say, it became a story that I could engage in my mindscape and not worry about anything. And before anyone gets upset, there are hints of religion in it, but I treat it a lot like Supernatural treats religion. It’s a story device; it says nothing on what I believe in. But it helps tie this story altogether in a neat little bow.
It has action, other worlds, fairies, demons, vampires, other creatures. I pull from all over, there is an Inuyokai from Inuyasha, Assassins from Assasins Creed, Ents from LotR, Nightmares from the Piers Anthony Xanth series, Dragons (A kind like the Dragons of Pern), Phoenix, Gods and Goddesses, Centaurs, Griffon, Kitsune, Unicorns, Pegasus, I even borrowed Jarvis from Iron Man.
So have fun reading it, click on the banner above to be taken to the beginning. I will recommend you reading it here, only because it is rich with pics here. It is rated M, and I hope you enjoy it.
Now I am off to work on making sure my stories are on the other sites, and to see about getting things done without stressing about trying to get enough time to do it all. Cause cleaning and linking, and checking stories lists on other sites are not easy to do when all you are thinking is that you need to be in photoshop. I have an order… and it was messing with the feng shui of my mindscape. *snickering*
Enjoy the story, if I get enough interest in it, maybe I will do sequels, one shots and so on on it.
I’ve been telling people for awhile to go watch the video for Sacred for over a month. The reason for this… is that last yesterday I published the first written chapter of this story. And as usual, I leaked it to the Facebook Group.
Why? Because they go the extra little to be a member, and also since they are the one cheering me on when I am down, I like to give them thanks. Seriously, right now the ladies have been trying to figure gifs for me to separate into seasons of True Blood for Alex. (out of a couple hundred we are down to four. Yes… FOUR!) Which that started out because of Chapter 1 of Sacred. I was looking for specific gifs, and found it too hard to find what I am looking for since I had all the gifs for Alex jumbled together.
And for those that know me… That is a huge no-no! I’ve been sorting pics into more folders as time has gone by. Alex’s regular pics are separated now into headshots, upper body and full body. Leighton Meester is the same. Allan Hyde will be next since his are starting to bug me also. Also Damon’s are pretty big files also. And for me, if I can’t place my hands on something quickly, it is time to organize.
I do so much organizing in fact when my mom wants her office to be organized she asks me to come in. I come in while she is working, observing how her current office works, and then last weekend M and I went up with her and redid her office. Again. Yes, I did in fact, did that last year, but circumstances change as they often do, and it caused a need for her to face her door now. Which of course disrupts her entire workplace so she wanted another one just as efficient as the past one. Luckily, this time ,we just had to reorganize it, not the outer offices. Which would have been a lost cause. And she purposely doesn’t allow me into her bosses office, who is an engineer. In other words, he has LAYERS of paper hazardly scattered over every surface including the floor. OMG. My hands twitch at the mess.
At least, before I came in she stayed late to file in her office before I moved a single thing.
Because of the need to organize, you may notice some changes to the main page. I cleaned up the current chapter banners to make them match. I also moved some stories around on the bottom, to allow for the missing one, as well as adding all the new banners. 4Padfoot is more than awesome at all this, but sometimes, RL just gets in the way and we forget that something needs to be updated. Oops. So I sat down and went through it all, added new betas, updated what betas are doing what now. I left the older betas there since they did help me out when I needed it, and hey free advertising for them!
Now we don’t see anything wrong with the Main Page, but feel free to tell us if you notice something wrong. Since 4Padfoot is working on the site this weekend. And let us know about the Goodies page. We already know links are broken there, but please tell us what you see so we can make sure nothing is missed. Anything at all you notice on the site that is not working, needs updated and so on. We try, but hey life happens.
Also, if you haven’t noticed this past week I have become very active online. I had been tired, trying to spend time with the family, and then trying to sleep normally. I was feeling drained. The I bought some probiotics that have other stuff in them, as well as talking to M about how I can’t do what I have been doing since I feel worn out.
The result?
I now sleep when he leaves for work until 1-2pm in the afternoon, which is right around 8 hours. I get alot of work done during those times, there is no one awake here, and even the pets are sleeping mostly. Also in conjunction to all of this, I am taking the pills. Talk about energy boost!! They make it where you get energy from what you eat from digesting your food better. I also make sure I eat three times a day, and rarely snack anymore.
Now the pills I am taking are expensive, and are a specific brand and they don’t work for everyone. However, I was slumping towards becoming as sick as I was when I was working. I figured since all the side effects are what I am suffering now, what could it hurt? For me, this works awesomely. It could have a negative side effect on my anti-depressants, but the boost of energy makes me a happy person often. So it works out for me.
How does this affect you guys? This past week, I worked on Sacred Chapter (finished) LOTR chapter (sent to beta and the chapter is set up all ready to go) and Edge Chapter (sent to the beta and returned, I just need to make banners for it.) I also am going through all the sites I publish in and updating them with either banners or uploading stories to them. I also worked on the site itself extensively and updated banners for it. I smooshed all the Alice One Shots into one slider. I also made a banner for my one Twilight OS story. I also made the completed page for easier finding of what is done and when.
Today I am finishing up the other sites, then working on banners for the aforementioned stories and the writing challenge. I will be publishing some of the Revelations chapters as well. Tomorrow? I will not be working on the sites or anything Fanfiction. It will be time to read, to catch up on other things and spend time with family. And if I get bored, then I can come in and play games. But I need to take a break.
What am I aiming for? To make it where I can write all those stories you guys keep asking for. I WANT to finish stuff, but I need time without having people asking for updates. Sacred has 30 chapters written to it already. I will not be updating this every week until I run out of other stuff to update. I will dribble it out, then when I do have only it left, I will publish each week. That way I can have at least 30 weeks to write new stuff for you guys.
So, go on to read, and we will see what all I will be publishing on Monday and what can be published for you sooner.
Also, when I go to make banners for the chapters, I try to find a theme behind them. For instance, ED was Roads, Edge is Dirt Roads. Crossing the Line is Trains, LOTR is Middle Earth, Crossing the Fine Line was Space, and so on. Surfergirl11 inspired me in Sacred with her banner, but when I went to make the banners for the chapters, I couldn’t replicate her work. So I changed the banner and picked Fire and Water (aka Lava and water). My OCD makes me want everything to match. So here is her original banner, which I give credits to on the homepage of the story. Which also contains a link to her other banners she has out for adoption. They are amazing!
First off, I did a review on the Non-canon Awards. It is for an oldie, but goodie. I am diving into the completed stories on Fanfiction.net to go back to the stories that introduced this universe to me. While I am not reading them all, (some had sequels that were never finished and so on) I am reading some of them and will be reviewing them. I figured they deserved some love too!
The first one was…. *Drum roll* is:
Click on the banner to be taken to the review. And yes, I make banners for the stories I review if I feel inspired or they don’t have one. Otherwise, I try to use their banners. Since I only found this on Fanfiction.net, I did their banner size for them. (It works… I promise!)
The next good news?
I worked on the next chapter of The Sun Holds the Moon! I have one in reserve still (since I like to make sure that I don’t write myself into a hole in this one) but Chapter 6 is done and the beta is notified. Now… I do have to remind you that a lot of work goes into the Lord of the Ring stories, fact checking as much as possible. Yes, I have taken liberties, but there is a lot I want to remain the same. So once I am done, I hand it to the beta, who goes through and fact checks things also. But it is done on my side!
Then… I finished another story edit last night. I have to go through and make a ton of banners since it is a new story. Though I will warn you… You really need to watch this video. It is the prologue to the story, and I will be making the page for it.
Yes. Sacred is about to become a live story for you to read!!!! Well, I mean it will have a chapter to read along with the beautiful video 4Padfoot made for it! The video is important to the story. Without it, some things will not make sense. And later it repeats for another person…. All I will say is it is a dream….
In addition, I wanted to highlight a story from my completed file…
The first one is a One Shot for the TB Fandom. It is based on a song – Austin by Blake Shelton. I have heard it a few times, but for some reason, this time it clicked and this story came to be. I will say it is due to Gyllene that I published it. She loved it, so I dedicate it to her…
Description: One Shot – All Human Sookie leaves, and almost a year later, makes a call that changes everything.
Don’t forget that the Writing contest ends tomorrow at midnight CST. Thanks!!!
Crossing the Fine Line is completely loaded with banners and pics. It is loaded on the following sites also:
FanFiction (Edited)
FictionPad
A03
TWCS
BetterInTexas
Fanfiction Affliction
Needless to say, I am tired. I already took all my meds since I am on a ban from doing liquids and food as of a hour and a half. There is nothing like being told you can’t do something to make you want to do it. I guess that tells a lot about me. lol
Please read and let me know what you think. If there are any posts before Monday, I can’t testify if I am under the influence or not.
Now here is the fun part, 4Padfoot is in control of the site.
If you find any issues, let her know and she will try to fix for you. Otherwise, well I would be sending them to her too.
Now I am off to read my paperwork, make sure I have everything, then bed. C-ya later!
Everyone, I am finally caught up on all the other sites in posting. I just finished Chapter 9 here. The links are active.
How can you tell if I have posted the chapter? There will be a banner up top, as well the links below for the next chapter. Since all Chapters are published, you can actually read a chapter before I am working on it.
I am updating 6 sites all at once. Better In Texas, FanFiction, FictionPad, A03, Fanfiction Affliction, and here. I am also making the banners for the top of the page, as well as looking through the chapter to get an idea of who needs to be on the banner, as well as pics needed for the chapter.
So be patient, and I will post when I am completed with the entire story. You can keep track of where I am also through Fanfiction. I will post the chapter I am working on there, since no pictures are needed for that one.
The way I am doing them: open the chapter, Paste over to Fanfiction. Make banner and any character banners if needed. Then add them to chapter, link it up and publish. Then post to the sites above.
And please… Leave a review!!! I am seeing some pop-up, and I will be reading them. If they have questions, I will wait until I am done.
Sorry!!! But I had to!!! I already had a great alibi, my story was not done until after the submission date. In fact due to the awesomeness of my new beta, we ended up taking to the very last day, but she came through and busted out this story.
So I was not given a lot to go on. And my brain wanted E/S/G. So I sat here for a week or two (not sure it is all a blur in my head) telling my family I was hating not knowing what to write about. I listened to music, I looked at millions of pics. Anything to find inspiration to write this fic.
And then one night, I was listening to Between the Raindrops by Lifehouse, and the beginning hit me. And I went with it. NO idea what it would become, I let the muse have the reins and just sat down to enjoy the ride.
Then I got nervous and told my betas. My pre-readers Royal Ember and 4Padfoot stepped up to read it. And they encouraged me to keep on it. That it was brand new idea to the fandom. MissRissa81 was there checking it out, and making sure I wasn’t skipping anything as I wrote. And they pushed me to finish it. They wanted to know what was going to happen.
I never wanted a 27 chapter story. I wanted something short, that way I could get it written, edited and beta’d before it was due. But did my muse listen? No.
But I did celebrate the day I finished the writing. Then the next day, I got on the story to edit it. Many things are added to the editing process. Jason was given more time in the story to cover some blanks. I fixed the second lemon to be better. And over a couple thousand words were added. And I ran it all through Grammarly. I learned some things from doing it. I do recommend it to new authors, or authors like me who don’t understand things. In addition, it gave me a huge boost when it started to send me the results each week of my work. Seems I use more vocabulary than 98% of it’s users. Go me!!! And I write a lot more.
At first, we had time, and I was doing the chapters here where the Beta will correct to make sure they were done. Then I got sick. Yeah, no fun and the pressure was on me and I just felt terrible. As soon as I could, I was in here in the office, on the laptop, anywhere to finish editing and posting for my beta. I got done, and I went off to relax. My beta was all set to work on the chapters, and then her internet went down.
She stayed up to I think 3 or 4 in the morning my time, to finish betaing the chapters. I was right there with her, blearily blinking my eyes, but as she finished a chapter, I would strip it from anything that is my normal practice on posting and send the watered down chapters (not the content, just no title, no previous, and so on that I do) to the Queen of Area Five.
And she was awesome throughout this thing. I told her where I was and she pushed out my submission as far as she could so I could finish.
I have to say I liked the result. There is a little Doctor Who for anyone who watches it (10th doctor!!). If you ever are curious, that episode is how Lucifer escaped. There is Asimov in there. There is many examples of what shapes me to who I am in this fic. The muse dipped deeply in my subconscious for this one, and I was quite amused on how it came out. I never got to use the InuYoukai that I found.
I own NONE of the pictures I used for this fic. As often as I could, I used the artist’s copyright in the banner and left any signs they made it there. Unfortunately, since I was going so freaking fast, I didn’t get the links to the original pics. If anyone wants them, I can try to find them for you.
Now, I am still working on linking all of this, as well as adding the pictures, making banners (for both the chapters and the characters.) Since I will be out as of Wednesday, I am going to be posting this all at once everywhere. So as I work, this story will be added to until it is done here.
Here is the main page, and you can start there. If you don’t mind, leave a review. This story was so outside my normal, I want to hear your thoughts on it. It is finished, and posted over on the Fanfic Exchange. I will be working REALLY hard to post this here and the other places.
Hope you enjoy this, especially Natsgrl1. I pushed myself to make sure it is a story worthy of your awesome talents!!
And Huge thanks to Queen of Area 5, for not only working with me, but for writing my own story!!!! I loved it!!!
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…
