Yes, I am experimenting with the so-called posting schedule features.
If you are a member of my Facebook group… You got the knowledge of when the chapter is posting. If not, you are getting this now, when I am hopefully still sleeping. (more…)
Dang.. I am really sorry on dropping the ball yesterday.
See, I didn’t know until I went to take the pills last night, and noticing that the Sunday pills had been taken already. Oops… I blame Mr. Kittyinaz. He had the day off, and Sunday we had spent the day cleaning out the garage. We went to barely pulling in my Traverse, to allowing 2 cars in the garage. Lots of work… (more…)
I thought I would make it exciting for you if possible…
lol
Alrighty!!! We have Chapter 14 of All I Want ready.. But.. you will have to bear with me… (more…)
Yeah it’s me. I’m not dead yet…
And why is it I always imagine the above scene when that is said.. and if you have NO idea what movie that is from. I’m sorry to say, you have no life.
Seriously.
Ok. Enough with them. ::Giggling madly::
Today!!!
I have important stuff to talk about. Before you click out. There will be a chapter hidden in the post. I promise!!
First thing, the Writing Challenge.
I have had questions asked, and I will clarify. When I say my characters, I do not mean you have to write MY characters. You have to use a character that I have written about in any way you want. I just don’t want say.. Walking Dead. You guys read my stories and come on here. So I want you to have a chance at winning by using the characters that I write on, as a basis. So you can use Elijah, Kol and Klaus. Since I have a story out there with those three characters. You can write Hatter, Peter Whitlock and Hermione meeting one day. Yeah I stretched on that one, but there was reasons!! I want you guys to write on anything you wish, you just have to use the cast of:
Alice 2009, Alice in Wonderland 2010, Charmed, Inuyasha, Once Upon a Time, Tin Man, True Blood, Twilight, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Mummy, Vampire Diaries.
THAT was what I meant. I hope that helps.
And no, you don’t have to name the story after a carol, or make it based on a carol, it just has to mention a carol. Have it playing in the background. I don’t care. I’m being so easy with this as I can.
Amazon! Please use the link contained in the banner above. I can’t go on Amazon right now to check on what I am doing for the month since I promised not to since people are worried I would look at the Christmas list I put on there. So I am banned from the site. Unless I use someone else’s id. This kind sucks. Just to let you know! But seriously, it costs you nothing, and it all helps!! You are supporting this site when you use the link and helping me out.
Reminder:
We are all off. This week is an exemption, MKnue wanted you guys to have something to read, so she told me to hit publish. So you get a chapter of All I Want. I am working on stuff. I have your Weird Christmas present of Charmed I am working on, I will finish and give to a beta as soon as it is done. I am also working on other things as I can. As of Friday, I won’t be on the computer mush less working. I will be baking up a storm, and getting everything ready. I am wanting to make my own turkey this year. Yep.. Scary.
I spent all day making the banner. I had it going pretty good, then I realized I had the wrong Sookie. Grrrr. There is a reason why Anna is still in this one, and you will see later…
And Allan doesn’t do lying down… Or sitting… Grr…
But here is the chapter. I hope you enjoy, I have no idea when anyone will have time to update anything. We are all scrambling for Christmas.
Also, if you want to talk and see what I am working on, please join our group. And we are still looking for experienced betas. Up above is a good idea of the fandoms I am playing in. Supernatural is up there too I think. And it never ends. The reason we are looking fro experiences is that I am throwing things left and right at my betas. As I work, it won’t end. There will be a time out as I finish my original fiction, but even then the betas will have work. Then we will be back to finishing the fanficiton. LOL Like I would ever get done!
Update on Murphy!
He has hair!!!! Truly!!! He also thinks I make a wonderful person to bug while I am working. He jumps up and pushes at me until I pay attention. He is responsible for the banner taking so long tooo!! Amazing what happens when he hits me at exactly the wrong moment!
Enjoy the holidays, my one shot for the contest will be out later.
I know.. I don’t usually post anything on this day, but I wanted to get this one shot out.
No, it is not the promised Christmas one. It is the one I promised with Eric and Sookie.
I wanted to give you some background on this. I was listening to this song, and this story poured out. I loved it, but another author who is one of my ladies, loved it even more. So we decided that I should publish. But, life got the better of me. When I finally did it, MistressJessica1028 worked on it, but she commented that it was odd. Found out later that it was because while I worked on it, she didn’t get that version.
So after all that, and yes she actually edited the same story twice, for this one and the Mummy one, I thought I didn’t have a banner. So I finished it and today when I got home, I made the banner on the story page. Seems someone coughFallingStars?!!?cough made me it.
Also, during this, I couldn’t imagine Anna Paquin as Sookie. This is the story that made Elisha Cuthbert my Sookie. From here she spread into the other stories as the Sookie I imagine.
Ok other things!!!
Per the ladies on Facebook, when I listened to a song by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, when they heard the song, they thought of Damon and Bella. So I wrote the one shot for the Christmas Carol Kittyinaz Writing Challenge this month. I have bits of Kol, Klaus, and some guest appearances. I wrote it last night, need to work it over, since the muse started one way, and turned and went a 180 from there. So I need to go through it and fix the changes to make it all work. But my entry to show you guys what I meant is ready…. Is yours?!?!?!
And no, it is against the rules for me to enter, the only way I can participate is by writing example ones…. So no fear there. (Not like I would win!!! There are awesome ones out there!! The story banner is already posted in the Vampire Diaries/Twilight as Carolized.
The Kill Bill contest, well I need to do the banner. No other entires were received, so once I can get with Rissa, I will make the banner with the winner badge on it. Congrats! I also am not running that one again, since I get the least amount of entries for it.
Just a reminder, the only stories you will get during this time is one shots, or if the betas release a chapter to you ladies. otherwise, we are all spending the time banking chapters not only for me, but for their own stories. The Holidays are rough enough without trying to keep schedules. I, for one, felt a lot of relief for not having to work everyday.
Murphy update! He has hair!!! Yes his hair is starting to grow in. He ahs a fuzz all over which is really soft. Looks like his main coat will be close to Connor’s color, a blondish red. I call it fawn color. He has a black muzzle. I have some pics I will show below. One was when I edited all the Mummy chapters, and he slept out in the living room. This past weekend my mom realized we have the Boondock Saints in the house. The brothers in the movie were Connor and Murphy, with Connor being the older twin. LOL. I did NOT name Connor for that. He is actually named on my side for Andrew Lee Pott’s character on Primeval, and on my hubs side, for a character in Assassin’s Creed. It fit him perfectly.
Clocks is being edited right now, and we have some reworking to do with the chapters. I realized that I jumped a lot all over the pace, and asked the beta to see if she agreed. She did, so we will be reworking those chapters.
We still have the Sun Holds the Moon, (LotR/Twilight), Our Road (Twilight/TVD), Game of Life (Twilight/TVD). Heavenly Light (HP/Twilight) and What If (Twilight) left to Edit. When I start really writing again, I am looking to edit at night what I wrote in the day to send to the betas. That way it will be faster to you guys. But hopefully all the above will hold you guys over until I get there. If it works, then there will not be edit times and writing times. I much rather write.
I did, start a new crossover. It’s a Charmed/Twilight with Cole/Bella. It came upon a midnight clear- I mean.. It just came upon me. No it has nothing to do with Christmas, except it may be a present to you guys if I can watch the episodes with him in it soon. He was my first crush on TV. I used to watch Charmed before going to work on TNT in AZ. Coffee, Breakfast, (that I actually cooked, like breakfast tacos and such!!!) and Cole on TV. What could be a better start?
So my time will be busy, and you might not have many of these. but after the new year? Hopefully we will be back in business! It might take a week or two, since my birthday is so close to the New Year. And Russian Christmas. And.. Well you get the point.
We are still asking for Betas. We are looking for those who are knowledgeable in the field, to help form our core better. We have an awesome bunch of ladies, but I seem to dump a lot on them at once. We are looking for those who are interested. There are plenty of fandoms, since I seem to be branching out. While we would love to see how you are before the new year, if you want to do it, but not start on helping until the New Year, that is fine. You will be mentoring under someone, who is used to my idiosyncrasy. Is that even a word?!?! Yeah, stuff like that. I know the word I want, but nobody else seems to… LOL!
Amazon. You know the spiel. It really does help. And it is a no cost way to help me out as a thanks. So please click on the banner to be taken to Amazon using my link, that will give me credit for What you buy from using my link as a referral.
I think that is everything! Have a happy Holidays until I get back with you!!!
So I have a funny little story to tell.
See I went and tried to write a chapter of I Never Did. And got 626 words into it. That is it for the entire night. (Teaser below!!) (It’s rough people.. pretty much my thoughts as I type!)
Song I listened to for this chapter: Marchin On (feat Timbaland) by OneRepublic
Previous:
He shakes his head slowly, and then moves to be in front of her. He cups her face softly, and then he kisses her as the room just stares at them, shocked.
After he allows her to breath, he looks down to her, “I apologize, if I had known, I would have never left. I gave up the hope of you long ago. Will you forgive me, mein gefahrte?”
Now:
The whole room is frozen as they hear what he said and it vibrates through their head. Then Eric slowly chuckles.
His little mate is still out of it in his arms, and he plans to soon have her in their room. But this defientely changes the game. He wonders if she had known…
Brandon is just blinking then starts to laugh. When his family turns to look at him, he shakes his head. “I didn’t know of all of it, and like usual when a part of whatever it is comes true, it comes clear. This is one of the reasons he needed to come back. Aisling needed him.”
Godric is looking down at his little mate, and he asks, “So you are my Dotter’s assistant?”
She is staring at him, and nods.
Frey chuckles, “I don’t think she would ever be that silent!”
Griffon, Gainor and Carter all grin at each other. However, before they could say anything, Eric shakes his head at them.
He has a huge grin on his face, and relaxes even more. Unless something happens to Aisling, his Master will be here for a long time. And nothing could make Eric any happier than he is with his mate here, bonded and pledged with her father, and his, here to be here.
Eric gently lays his little one down in their bed, and he just watches her for a minute. He commits every part of her to his memory, as he does each and every time he has a moment to do so. When everything is as he remembers it previously, he takes a finger and trails it down her face, loving the fact he can do this any time he wishes to.
She is his.
Finally.
And in turn, he is hers. In every way, but then, she has owned him since she walked into his bar that night. He just refused to acknowledge it. He fought the war against allowing her in; not knowing it was way too late for it.
No. That time is over. Now is the time for their beginnings to happen, their happily ever after. Or it would be if there wasn’t all the mistakes that have happened.
Like him not killing Russell. Mistake number one. And he is sure that there are more, and that not killing Bill Compton will be one of those things to come back and haunt him later on.
Quickly undressing, he moves to Sookie, and looking down at him, he gets a mischievous look on his face. Within moments, there is only pieces of what had been her clothing floating on the air as he gleefully on his handiwork.
A naked Sookie.
A naked Sookie on their bed.
A naked Sookie on their bed waiting for him.
Wait…
“You think you were going to get away with that?”
He slides in behind his love, kissing her shoulder. “Me?”
A silvery sound of laughter sounds out, as Sookie looks at her other half, “The innocent look doesn’t work so much for a 6’4” Viking vampire. Just letting you know.”
Enjoying the feeling of her enjoyment in him like those bubbles he sees in champagne glasses popping inside his
And that is as far as I got in 6+ hours of trying.
I normally write about 2k words per chapter and about 2 chapters a night. Needless to say I gave up and went back to editing. Clocks had been edited up to chapter 4 last night.
Instead I was going to post this one shot Gyllene had fallen in love with since my awesome Beta Mistress Jessica went ahead and did it. Figured you guys would love it, and we all be happy this week.
Until last night I was trying to find something and went on my laptop to the Google Drive that holds everything. And found out my laptop was not updating to the Drive.
Remember all that head banging?
Yeah I was doing it again.
I went back and looked, and nothing was updated. I should have checked when Jessica had mentioned about the verb tense, but while I thought I fixed it, it is one of those things I get wrong. So I thought I missed some.
No wonder she said something.
So I had to go to her and apologize late last night. I was embarrassed as hell, and mad that I walked away after I fixed it all. And you guys don’t get the chapter, since I did clarify a lot of things in the chapter when I went back to Edit of things that just didn’t sound quite right.
My fault!!!
Everything is fixed, and I will be carrying a little thumb drive back and forth until I can get the laptop updating like it should be. I bet you are wondering why am I still using the laptop? I got ALL of the Mummy done in one night. I got a lot of Clocks done in one night. Frankly I get a lot of work done out there in the other room, and spend more time with family. A great win in my books.
My laptop is great, but it is old. I bought it back in 2007. It can keep up with things, except where memory comes into the equation. It has, I think, 4 gig memory harddrive. Yeah. My desktop has a TB and so does my Google Drive. And while one has pictures and stories on it, the other has the programs to run all of the above as well as the precious iTunes. And they are about even. I am Kittyinaz and I am a memory hog. I seriously have to edit what goes on EVERYTHING I own. All in the interest of memory.
So I do what I can, and am still fiddling around trying to find what works to get out the stories to you guys, and to keep me happily writing. I am working on editing only because it works right now. I will need to go back read everything over, make my notes, go through Rissa’s timeline and then start drawing on my white board what is going to happen to start writing a story I have currently going on or I am writing the sequel to. And I have 20+ stories to do that with. Things are happening, you are getting chapters, but I am doing what I can. I like to write, it’s the editing process I hate.
Basically, we are working on updates to all the other sites, in fact, right this minute we are taking down the Tea Shoppe stories. I know they are down from here and FictionPad. This is also the last week All I Want and Wisdom, Justice and Love are being updated on FanFiction. I was not joking when I said we were going to start pulling away from the site.
Because, ficlet78 announced another story of hers was plagiarized. And as she said, it’s getting stupid. Funny how it seems to be FanFiction that holds most of the plagiarists. I enjoy the majority of the fans, and it is NOT their fault. But there comes a time that you need to realize enough is enough. And I have long since given up on the site.
Anything new will follow my fellow writer’s Dr Harley’s example. First chapters will be published. I publish on other sites, A03 (Archive of Our Own), FictionPad, and TWCS (The Writer’s Coffee Shop). I hear rumors of another site by some of my ladies, and I will support that one with everything I can. But I cannot spend my time chasing thieves instead of writing. I can’t even reply to comments since it takes days for one story. Much less all the ones I have going on! I try to answer the questions, and grin with glee when I get the others. It has given me days of being taken from being in the dumps, to grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
So I am going to go back to making sure everything is ready, make some Homemade mac and cheese for dinner. (The recipe and step by step pictures are on the food blog!) Then edit my heart out for the rest of Clocks so I can move on to another story. I think I will be overworking my poor betas!
Enjoy the night, and when I can publish again, I will be!
Kittyinaz!
