I think I am only going to work in the evening, since I get a ton of work done!
Last night, I really couldn’t sleep, and ended up finishing the chapter for In The End for the beta, and sent it to her after running it through Grammarly. Yes, everything goes through it, even when I laugh at how it hates Mates, (wanting me to turn it into friends) it also strongly dislikes anyone growling. (growing anyone?) and multiple other things it just does not like, and I have to tell it to ignore.
I’m currently working on Edge, if I can keep my mind on task. I might leave, and when it is quiet in the house, work on it. We will see, I have been having massive problems getting to sleep, last night it was after 7 am this morning when I fell asleep finally.
I am going to try to do two posts a weekend. TRY is the operative word. No more than one chapter per week per story though. I need something, so if I do run out of stuff, I can write something and maybe have something to post.
I will say not this chapter of Edge, but the next one has me shocked I wrote it, and laughing my head off. It is an example of what happens when I am not pushed to write for a story, these little bits of humor makes it in the story.
Right now I am jamming to “Get Back” by the Beatles. I love my hometown of Tucson, Arizona is mentioned in it. And that I can sing it word for word on tune.. lol. And I have to say I love my freaking list of songs. I can have a brand new song next to a classic. I have been also playing Pokemon Go. I have no idea what the heck I am doing, nor do I care. I think they are cute, though I am really done with the many rattata’s that seem to be in my area. But I love that I caught the most powerful Pokemon so far in my hallway. <snickers!> So far the Kadabra is the one that made everyone laugh as it batted away my balls with his spoon. I want to know who makes up these things.
I got it because Connor and I are going to start walking when it gets cooler. It was 115 as a heat index, and right now is the coolest it has been at 9 pm in weeks at 88 heat index. I hate humidity, and since we are under a flash flood watch tonight, it seems it will not be getting much better. But I figured it would be interesting to walk not just a normal little square, but to go exploring. This way we both get all happy, and we get exercise. And I get to catch cute little things.
So… reminders!!!
You want blood awards, I did a post that lays out all my stories that are eligible. PLEASE make sure you nominate!!! When she tried this in April, there were not many nominations and she pulled it. Please go in, and nominate!!!!
I’m going to be still working on the banners and so on for the blogs. If you have not been updated (banner the same size as the others) on my Blogs I Love Page, I have not done you yet. If you have not posted and are not on the list at ALL, you need to contact me. The banners are being made as close to your headers on your Home pages. Or if I feel like making one, but this is so rare, the work in trying to reproduce the headers is not really all that easy. I have way too many fonts. If you want to make your own, the size is 888×499. It just needs to have your name on it. For the other place being used, your ‘card’ will be the first thing they see in the listing. Or as a slider. So make it unique! Please send it to Kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com
And of course there is the Writing Contest. Tomorrow will be the halfway mark… I am looking forward to the submissions. And me making the banners. I need to start up my lessons again. But when do I have the time anymore? Ah well.
Here is the ‘card’ for tonight:
She is a writer of many talents, and she loves to Twilight Crossovers. Her favorite? TVD and/or The Originals with Bella. And her stories are so unique!!! And then there was the year of one shots last year. Check out her if you are looking for some awesome stories to read!
And here is the chapter:
Finally, I wish to thank all of you who are donating to the site. It relieves Robin and I’s minds. Why does school time and everything seem to hit all at once.
Now I am going to watch Murphy run around the house like a crazy dog. Seriously, he runs in here, looks at me and if I look back, he takes off runnign and jumping through the house. I think someone is feeling his Wheaties. And who fed him?!?!? Robin?!?!?!?
Yeah, I was not kidding when I said I would work on Weekends on Fanfiction. But I may or may not do another update.
It takes me like 2 hours to work on updating the site. I make the banners, add pics, and then do all the linking. Luckily when I need a second away when something is frustrating me or if I wanna know if my idea looks alright, my ladies online help out.
Every other week (which this is one of them) I have Grandma day, that means I end up spending the day with her. the last two times, (including yesterday) I end up not sleeping the night before. Yesterday I crashed at 6:30 pm, and only woke up about 10:30 for a brief break and crashed again until 1:30 this afternoon. Evidently I needed the sleep. (more…)
So here is the good news, I was thinking last night, I want to work on the original stories. Which is great for those that are authorized to read the original stories, but for those of you that are here for the fanfiction, not so much.
Until I remembered there is one OF that I released to you guys…
Remember this story?
Yeah that one. I reworked the names on the 1st chapter, and I need to get it out to my beta after one last lookie through. So there will be something for you to read. And it is Original Fiction, but I will tell you this one shows what happened to Nora from ED.
And I got the new chapter of Tired Wings are Falling back, so I will be working on that on Saturday. As well as working on some other chapters for editing.
Now for the ‘on my knees begging’.
Last year Robin and I needed to ask for donations for the site. We needed it for the site itself ($200) and for the security that needed to be done since hackers love my site. ($30 a month). You guys came through and we took the money and paid not only the amounts needed, but also got additional things that made the site run faster and so on.
Now we need to ask again. Both Robin and I are tapped out for money when it comes to the site. We pay for additional things for the site when the money ran out, and I found out that Robin paid for the security herself for the last few months without letting me know. But RL interfered with it’s pesky self and hit us both at the same time with some huge ouchies.
So I hate to ask, but we need to, to keep the site up. The security as you can see is our biggest part of the budget. But we can’t skimp on that. And yes, some of the other stuff was implemented before we had to maintain that much for security. However, it keeps the site free from viruses and hackers.
The site being mine, allows more freedom for a lot of stuff, including the contests. Since it is ours, we can run what we want, and not worry if it may conflict with anything WordPress deems OK. It may not seem alot, but the freedom of being allowed to do whatever we want on the site allows a lot of creative freedom. IT also allows us to sidestep a lot of issues that WordPress has coughCommentscough. Since 4Padfoot aka Robin can write the code to allow us to activate them all the time.
Plus part of what we pay for is that help when you guys notified us that no one could leave comments. That had all the help desks busy with it, but Robin stayed on top of it and we got it fixed.
So please help us out. I will do the same as last time, and if you don’t want your name published online as a public thanks, please let us know. Or your screen name so that we can publish that. Because we appreciate it very much and want others to know how awesome you people are. And we will leave the donation button all the time on the sidebars on the posts and pages.
Now I am off to get that chapter above done, and then work on Aos Si. It’s time I used this writing thing and see if I can make something out of it. I hope I can.

I think that should give you a good head start. Yes, all banners link back to the story cover page. I am off to work on other things, liek updating other sites and Robin’s project.
And I didn’t win. That is better than ok since I enjoyed the heck out of reading the stories. If you didn’t read them, I highly recommend reading them!!! The ones that won fully deserved their win!
Now here is the good news, my entry was the first three chapters of the story.
Yes, I said first three.
There are 14 total chapters, and as 4Padfoot and I work on loading them, I will let you know when each is published. I am editing the rest, well was until yesterday I gave in and read it in full.
What can I say? I like it!
So, knowing that we will be talking alot today, I will give you the first chapter as we are working on getting them prettied up.
And full props to my beta:
She doesn’t know the Marvel Cinematic universe and was willing to beta a story. We have lots of discussions of who is who, and my OneNote is full of bios of the players for her. She also entered the contest and has her story up on her site!
I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did writing it. And yes, there will be more. But I need to see how the Marvel universe is going… I’m thinking the next part will be a Thor/HP crossover… maybe…
Yes, I had other chapters I could have done, but I wanted another chapter of Sacred done for you guys since I need to edit so many of them. There was alot of back and forth’s. One time of me erasing all of tj6james6 hard work for a couple of words change. Yeah, I try to forget that one.
But, I have it done, banners done and so forth.
You can run off to read…. But…
Have you voted yet in Bertie Bott’s contest today? If not, click the link, and vote. I participated and am excited to let you know which one is mine hopefully this weekend. If allowed. I think. LOL.
And have you worked on your submission for the writing contest for this month? Outlaws and Angels. There is no minimum, no maximum. You can do a poem, a haiku or a story. Just put your pen to paper, fingers to the keyboard, crayon on the wall (only if it is your house.) Whatever it takes! (and don’t forget to pick up your participation banner if you did submit!)
Also, if you are a blogger, have you sent me a link, banner and so forth? I will be working on some of those tonight. I am not only doing it for Robin’s site, but for my own site, so if you want your blog advertised for free on my site, do it now. Later on, I don’t know if I will be doing blogs once it is running, so I won’t have the chance I do now. Above are some of the banners done for the site…
I am currently working on doing some chapters, but I will admit Sacred took alot of that time when I could be editing to get ready for you guys, but I hope you like 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…
