Why, yes. Yes, I am!! And not just one chapter to a story, but 2 again!
Ok. So one of them is on this site, and the other is on the Anthem of Angels site, but hey it is still two updates right?
So here is the first update, it is from the Cross The Line story, in the Anthem of Angels universe:
Please remember that if you have not read the rules, you may want to enter the site through the home page. Once you click the link above, you are agreeing to the rules and that you are of age to read the stories. Please do remember that when we moved this site, that one got separated and put into it’s own site. So you will need to sign up for that one to get the updates. I am updating on this one for mine, but not for the rest of the ones.
Of course thanks goes out as always to the Beta of this story: Bertie Botts. She is awesome…… in more ways than you guys can ever imagine!
The other update is… ::drum roll please::
Yes, I know the banners are not as big as they normally are, but that is to make them readable in the posting side. There are full size chapter banners. And as you may have guessed, yes we meet a new character. Those of you familiar with True Blood will know this one, but his history has changed….
Huge thanks goes to MKnue for work on the chapter!! She deserves a round of applause, she is beating a story for a fandom that she is not familiar with, but often her questions make the chapter better!
Since I somehow got a bad rash yesterday (We think it is from Flame retardant on the silk flowers MamaKitty and I did for our office) I was too busy trying not to scratch my arms off. So no. I didn’t do the Sunday Post. But… I have been wanting to highlight someone all this time, so I am doing it now.
Yes! My person of the week is Charissa Horton!
This woman is frankly, quite amazing. She pre-reads for a bunch of us, and she is my Continuity Beta. She is also the lady who is in charge of the Anthem of Angels universe and making sure that the stories are not conflicted there.
She reads all of my stories as they are posted, as well as running the Facebook Group for me. She is the one who you go through to get into the group, and welcomes each and every single person with a greeting that she has typed out on her phone! Yes. This amazing woman is proof of how much you can do on your phone. She does it all.
She also makes sure the threads for the teasers is kept up, and even fins them when requested, as well as anything I am looking for. She is doing timelines and so on.
::takes a deep breath:: Did I not tell you she is amazing? She also is our cheerleader, and helps out in many ways. Without her, I would fall apart, and hope she never leaves me!! She has been here from the start, and has found her permanent niche in all of our lives.
Thank you Rissa for all you do!!!
This wraps up this post, and I will be back this week with a post for IND. It is all ready for it’s regular posting day!!!
YEAH!!!!! We have moved!! Completely. If you find this on Facebook, but didn’t get an email, you need to sign on and subscribe. The place to sign on is right under the banners on the front page. You enter your email, and you will receive a are you sure email.
So welcome to the site! We are excited by all the opportunities that are available to us. Expect things to pop up, like ads. That WE made. Gone will be the Amazon page. There will be ads instead of them. Think of it this way, instead of WordPress getting the benefit of showing ads to pay for their site, we are going to do it ourselves. I will see if we can add more, and if you want to advertise, you can contact us and we will see what we can do. (God I love doing this knowing it will be for the benefit of us and our fans!)
So… there are 2 updates today! After this we will be going back to our scheduled postings. But Sunday was a wash since that is the day we started the move, and today saw the transfer of the subscribers. (Many thanks to the Happiness Engineers at WordPress.com Especially Denise who was the one who did the transfer for us!)
First update:
Yes. Your eyes are not deceiving you! All I Want update! Many thanks to Mknue for her work on this!! Even with transfers, confusion on which site she was on, she pushed through it all and made sure this chapter was ready for you guys!!! We will be aiming for the updates on Monday for this again!
Good news, This story is completely edited and sent on to the beta. Bad news, she has a life people! I know shocking, betas and writers having real lives? What the hell!?!?!?!? Seriously, we work for free. Also, even if we didn’t I would impress on my employees real life comes first. (Yes, I would be an awesome boss, unless you take advantage of me. Then I will come down like the fires of Hell. But I am generally a nice person…
I will say that I just read through this story and added words to replace the ones I missed. Considering that is all that keeps happening when I worked on this one, it ended up perfect. Hopefully you will enjoy this story as much as I did writing it a year ago, and then reading it the many times since then…
Second Update:
YES!!! Another I Never…Did chapter, brought by the wonderful, awesome Meridean! She also worked with mixed up sites and so forth. Truly, all my betas are awesome, and these two showed up and worked through the trials of wondering what site was what. And then, when we banned them all from the old site to make it easier to tell, they both came and checked that their changes were to the right chapters.
I was fully prepared to tell you guys, that this will be delayed due to this, and instead these two lovely ladies worked through it.
I also wish to give Huge kudos to 4Padfoot, for managing to make the move in two days, and we were actually waiting on others for the last parts. Also to Gyllene, who worked with 4Padfoot and the rest of the betas when a hiccup was found late on Sunday. We actually had to reload the picstures on the site, and replace the old ones. I will admit, there are size differences, and we will try to fix, but to be frank, unless someone tells us, there is no way to know… I had one of the biggest sites that robin transferred so far. And if you work with computers, something always go wrong. It is the nature of the beast.
So yes, I expect there to be hiccups as we discover what we can and cannot do. The layout may change if we find this theme has a hiccup that we can’t work with. Or won’t allow a app to work on it. We scrapped the old one, because when some of the ladies in the group told us the header was too big. At the time, we hadn’t looked on phones or anything really besides computers trying to fix issues. So when they told us this, we listened and fixed.
Communication is the important thing. We can’t know issues, unless you tell us. Some things look weird to us (Like for me all the full size pictures are WEIRD. But when I test them on the pages, they are fine. Go figure that one out.)
All in all, I am freaking excited!!!
So what have I been working on? Well, we moved the Anthem of Angels off the original site, and to it’s own. With it being self hosted, we didn’t want to open up the site the way we were finding we were needing to for the universe. People are excited about it, and frankly so am I! But it was becoming evident, that the interest generated was more than the few who had access to the back end side, to work on it. Click on the banner above. Please remember, I am trying to link all the pages myself. They were linked before, but the move took out those links. I have the stories linked, and most of the Bestiary. A lot of the Bios are still needed to be made, so it is a slow process, but we are working on it.
Last Friday had the chapter 1 of my story in this universe posted. Please click and follow us over there!
We have things happening in our lives, like for me, I am ending up spending a lot of my weekends with family and especially my grandmother. Health issues are arising, and I really want to spend time with her. Right now, they are not serious, but I have found out, that things can change for the worse in days. 2 years of this experience has taught me well. I am tired of losing loved ones. So I am spending time getting Grandma Kitty (As my betas call her and really any of he family) out of the house, which leaves less time for me. I am also spending time with the family. however, since I am finishing stories, this is not really hurting anything.
I am still banned from Facebook groups. I REALLY miss being in the groups. You have no IDEA how many things I am involved in until I cannot comment at all. Rissa is a saint, as well as Naima for doing my normal job of spreading the stories in the fandoms needed. So many thanks to everyone for their patience in this hiccup in Facebook.
I am getting the Wisdom, Justice and Love ready for Bertie Bott. I am finding I am not happy where I left it on the end of the Wisdom side, so I may write a chapter or two to transition it easier to the Justice side. This story surrounds Points of Authority.
After that it will be the Mummy crossover, and then the one shot, and from there, it will be publishing what I have written on the others. Group has spoken out, that as much as they hate waiting on the updates, they want the full chapters to what I have teased out. Mentioning I am cruel and so on worked as well as much begging and bribes. (Tim Tams are awesome!! I even have determined my favorites!)
So much going on, and so much to do. Edge WILL be worked on soon. AS soon as I am done sending out all these chapters to the Betas, I will be working on my novel for publication. Then I will work on the other stories. I made a promise, and I have family members asking and taking an interest in it. It makes more motivation!
So enjoy the chapters, know more is coming, and more stories. Hopefully I will be able to get it all out and get you more IND chapters also!!!!
What?!?!?! I updated on time?!?!?!?!?! HOLY SHIT! This update is brought to you by Meridian. Who worked her ass off to get this ready for you guys when I gave it to her late, after my jam packed weekend!
And.. This is an update on sooo many things!!! So we will get to the actual update you are waiting for:
Yes! And this is a fully M rated chapter!!! Hold on.. Warning signs needed:
Lemon Warning
And for those that know me:
There should be plenty of signs what this chapter is all about right?!?!?! I spelled it out and demonstrated with a picture for the old school ladies on my site. Once of these days I will do the infamous him getting out of the shower gif in a story.
Ok. Fun part is done. (Not really but I wonder how many people will read the rest of this?!?!?) We have a lot to discuss.
I will be going back to the Sunday posts since these take soo long otherwise! I even wrote a list for me to type up all the things! (And yes the pictures are the discussion topics)
In the Facebook group, I asked a question, and the ladies agreed to it. So Cross the Line is being beta’d and then will be published, without an edit! These will come faster to you, because of this. I have a couple of ladies getting geared up for writing in the Universe, so I am getting excited. I can’t wait to see what happens, and one of the ways to keep it up for you guys to remember, is for me to post in it. When the other ladies are ready for their stories, well if they are a beta on this site, they can post the updates themselves, or I will be posting for the other ladies if they tell me about it. If no one tells, then I have no idea. It’s how the cookie crumbles. But I am looking forward to some of the ideas that are being tossed about!
I am thrilled about this one!! Bertie got the idea after Cuinawen posted in the group a bunch of two sentence horror stories. I love when my group comes up with these things!! And from there, they find inspiration to do contests, or to even write stories!
Since this is going to be Bertie’s contest, I delayed my writing challenge. So have fun, and enjoy the contest!!!!
Since I haven’t built a banner for this one yet, I wanted to let you guys know, that the Kill Bill contest has been extended until November 30. The page is up and if you click on the Kill Bill announcement up above, the link will take you there. Why am I delaying it? Bertie is doing a great Halloween contest as I mentioned up above. Plus SOOO many of the ladies do the Novel in November. I wanted to let you guys know ahead of time. You can click on the link, and it will give you the rules, and the email to send it there. The rules are VERY lax this time. And if you don’t read True Blood or SVM, NO WORRIES!! there is a way for you guys to be able to play in the contest this time!!!!
Yep, I am going to remind you guys until the holidays are done. It costs you nothing, but to click and save the link! Nothing. And deals can be found by using it! What is there to lose? I am also making it easier since my hubs said that to be on the main page of my site and being able to click on a banner to get there is easier, so I will be making sure it is easy to get there. Just remember, there is a page that 4padfoot keeps updated with specials. the link is on the page also. If you need help with knowing how to set the bookmark, leave a comment, and one of us will get back to you on it. It helps offset costs for me writing.
Last but far from least!
Our very own Bertie Bott is being crafty in every way!! She is making these purses! Right now, she is working on some new ones, and there is rumors of more coming. They are freaking awesome! Click to find out more, and favorite it for when you are thinking of Christmas presents!!! Let her know you came from here!
::Takes a deep breathe:: ok I am off to spend some time with Connor and Marty (since Connor is literally trying to push me into the room with them…dang schedule puppy!). I hope you enjoy the chapter!
Yes!! The next chapter of I Never…Did is up and ready. We meet more family. Many huge thanks to Meridian for her awesomesauce betaing skills. She makes me look good!
Ok.. some information I am tossing your way.
First, Anthem of the Angels. Thanks for the interest, I am looking forward to you guys having fun in the universe. I have a couple of chapters written, but I will be tearing into it when I get the chance. Feel free to work in it. I have done the Demons, Angels and I need to do the Witches in the Bestiary, and my characters so far are done. My Profile is up, and you can get an idea of what we are planning to do with it. Feel free to click the banner above for information.
Second, the domain for Kittyinaz has been paid for the next year. Owning the domain means a lot of pluses for the site. Not only is it easier to find, but we get more control over the page. Huge thanks to everyone that uses the Link to my Amazon page. For those that are new, If you want to help support this site, All you have to do is bookmark the following link: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=kittyinaz-20 . The part at the end that has the Kittyinaz part is what gives me credit. This costs you NOTHING. In fact, according to the information they sent me, you may receive discounts. So how does it help me? Amazon treats this link as a referral. I get a small percent of your order for referring you from my site. I save the money through the year for any updates I need to do for the site. Now, I do know Christmas is coming, and if anyone is like me, I am already buying. So please use the link instead of just clicking into Amazon without it. It costs you nothing, (My hubby checked this part out for the past year) and it helps support me. It makes this site what it is. The banner above has the link if you want to visit it now. As long as you open the Amazon.com page with the link, I get all credit for the purchase.
Third, as many of you may remember, last year this started my bad luck time. My mother found out she had breast cancer. Her cancer is not one you can find by self checking. Luckily, we have a great doctor in our local Breast Cancer screening area (Victory Lakes for anyone in Houston area) and she caught it early. This type is very dangerous since most people don’t get it caught early have to go through chemo and all that jazz. My mom had to have a mastectomy. So please remember to get checked. And if you want, please donate. This is not just affecting woman, it affects men also.
Fourth, I am trying to get back into editing!! I have so many awesome stories, but as many knows, this had been the worst part of the year for me lately. I am actually dreading the end of the year when I used to look forward to it. Last year I dealt with the breast cancer for my mom, and the day she had her surgery, my bio dad died. The year before my Bio dad’s brother died, my maternal grandfather died and my first dog that I owned and raised from a pup died. All within a week. My grandfather had Alzheimer’s and I had taken him out for a ride and had a last memory of him that way. The end of that trip, I got hit with how much he had declined. After that he had to be put into a home, and he died after that. His Alzheimer’s was very advanced we had found out.
The reason I am telling you this? Because as I try to clear my slate, I often have issues with depression. I will get you the chapters as I can, but I wanted to give you guys a heads up. Also, when I am done with the Editing, before I get on those favorites, I am going to push to finish my book. I want to start the new year by sending it out.
I am working on getting everything on my to do list done. I finished the Las Vegas trip last Monday, and will be working on other things also. I am also working on Banners that my friends have asked for. Since they are the ones who give up their time to Beta my stories, making a banner is the least I can do! And it relaxes me when I have those days.
Also!!! My mom, MamaKitty, is doing the Essential Oils. For those that do not know what this is, it is pure oil’s extracted from the plants. Now she swears up and down that this stuff works. She bought me the spearmint since I love that stuff, and I will admit it makes tea tasting so much better, and it seems to be helping my tummy. Last night I had a migraine and it sucked. Nothing was working. I got up since the meds were making me loopy and helping Harleen figure out her WordPress. I figured what the hell, and put a bit of oil on my temples. Lo and Behold, it freaking worked! Peppermint is the ideal one for it, but spearmint is another one for headaches. So, I am letting those of you with issues, please visit the site. I will ask MamaKitty to have something so that any who would like to order can contact her. If you have any issues, my mom ordered the book to figure what can help solve stuff. She uses it to help sleep, and for the headaches and any other things (Since Peppermint seems to clear up a lot of maladies) as well as the other scents. Its all natural, and my family has all started to use it. For me? I will just steal her stuff. And drink my spearmint tea. We are getting the Basil and Oregano oils for cooking. Let me tell you, one drop of this stuff goes a very long way! Click on the flower above to go to their site.
Don’t forget there are still banners to be adopted, and that the Banner contest is going on for the Facebook group today!! There are some awesome banners for this month’s banners for the group and page. The Facebook Page gets all the notifications, (I share from that page to the groups) and the group is where I hang out. There are teaser threads and they even talked me into posting a story earlier than I thought I would. I also have an interview with Carter to do this month!!!
SO I am off to deal with stuff today, but I will be back later. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter. I know the Kill Bill is on everyone’s mind, and I will be working on that as my next webpage thing. I will get that out there!!! So much to do, so little time…
Yes I know I have been missing. I had a migraine. And its hot here, so I was in a dark cool room, with my puppy and thinking hateful thoughts.
Also… One of the greatest comedians and actors passed away this week. I remember Mork and Mindy. It was one of the first shows I was allowed to watch, and he cracked me up. I remember seeing Good Morning Vietnam, loving his performance in it.
It was not until much later that I ever saw one of his comedic specials. And I couldn’t stop laughing. I cried.
From there, I watched his movies, though I did skip the one One Hour Photo and I watched scenes from Insomnia. But I thought he was a great actor for being able to play roles so far from his normal. Yes, his part as the Genie is one of my favorites, it was pure Robin Williams, and I loved Hook. In fact a lot of it, is hidden in Best, since I came up with the idea of Hook in Once Upon a Time being Peter Pan from that movie. I have the music downloaded, so it probably affects me since it is part of the songs I listen to at night.
Good Will Hunting affected me a lot. I was often thought of an outsider, and hid me being smart. I was no where as smart of Matt Damon’s character, but I could emphasize with him.
The man was a genius. He will be greatly mourned. And at the same time, he brings home something clear. Depression is not easy to get out from under. This man who brought so much laughter to others, and that most had described as a happy person, suffered. I suffer under it, and it is an insidious beast that I have to fight against. My writing, and even you guys make it easy to help, but I will admit, there are times I want to give up, and then I list to myself all the good things and then work to get it beyond it. I am not suicidal, but there are times that getting out of bed seems too hard.
So get help. It is not the end all solution of everything. I have help and I fight it. Robin Williams had checked himself in to get help. But remember there are reasons to get up. Reasons to go on. And if you need a list, contact someone.
Here is the next chapter of AIW, and I will try to get back on schedule here, Mr Kittyinaz is going to be out of the country starting Saturday so I will be available more, but I have been taking it easy to spend time with him before he is gone for 3 weeks in China.
If you can’t tell from the banner, here are some warning for this chapter:
Lemon Warning
As you may have heard, I won the Kelpie’s contest. The story will be broken in more chapters, and more detailed. I will tell you more on it, but if you want to read it, click the banner below, it is the one I made for it. Thank you to all who voted for it, and your reward is that I am planning to expand on it.
The Angels Through the Fire contest is closing Friday, and I will tell that 1st and second is one vote apart, as is 3rd and 4th. Now here is a secret. The IP address’s reset every day. So, If you had one you liked, you can vote on it again. The ballet is on the side, so give a vote for your favorite. Obviously, the voting is close.
Yes. It is Wednesday, and I have a chapter of IND ready to go. I wrote one more, and in the middle of writing another. Unfortunately, Mr. Kittyinaz (God that sounds weird, but I won’t give you the name the ladies know him by) is going to China for 3 weeks, and we have been running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to get his passport ready before he leaves in one week. So not much is getting done since it is disrupting my sleep schedule and he was not aware it was still easy to make me go back to the non sleep again. Ah well. Live and let learn.
Thanks for all the responses to the contest!!! It has blown me away, and I am hoping the authors are reading all the comments, and even the likes that people are leaving behind. I thank you all for the responses!!! It makes me smile, hoping this helps any new writers to come forward and grace us with your imaginations!
I am planning after this another contest in September, and it will be a unique one. I am going to alternate them out. I was going to do something else, but this month, with all that is going on in my RL, there is not much time for me. So instead, I will be doing what I can, and not letting my health escape me. the gym will be next week, since there was just no way to start it up this week with all the hoops we have jumped through to get his passport.
I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I will try to get one ready for you guys next week.
Don’t forget Kelpie’s contest, and there is a new writing contest hosted by Gyllene. Please look to the posts below this one to find the links to go there. I am off to go curl up somewhere and try not to hate this headache to the point I give in and only get a few hours sleep. Damn you Sleep!!!
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…
