Yep! And it is for I Never…Did. Here is the deal, I wanted to do a chapter, that turned into 7. The reviews on this one made me think. And you got this for it.
See, I Never…Did is a truly awesome story, and has nothing to do with the other 20 stories in my head. It is a clear what if situation. And… it is what brought 4Padfoot to us. Man… What an awesome trade off. I would not be as able to get as far as I have gone without her on the site. All for one story.
It was planned to be a stress outlet for me, to allow me to escape a story to write a few on it. Then Meridian took it over since 4Padfoot had much more important things to do. Like figure out my site. I still am amazed at 4Padfoot‘s ingenuity. And this story has been that, a stress outlet.
Until I got all these reviews asking about Bill’s reaction, and I started thinking, then dreaming and thinking more. I decided that I would write a chapter maybe two to tide us all over until I am done with stories and sent them off to the Betas. I can add more as time needs it.
Then… ideas flew through my brain so fast it wasn’t funny. I impressed some new ladies to the beta group. See, they are my first readers. I save everything to WordPress to make sure it is always backed up, and to allow them the treat to read the stuff before I edit. And they were shocked I wrote over 8k words in a weekend. 4 chapters. Sometimes I can even do that in a day. Depends on the music, the words and the movie and interruptions. But when it is all flowing, well you can interrupt me all you like and it really does nothing to slow me down. And remember these are all rough drafts.
And let me tell you, Meridian has EARNED that 2nd Place Eagle Eye Award as a beta for me, as well as her nickname of The Muse Whisperer. To have all that AS WELL as being THE beta on the story. Well. It’s lethal. And I reminded her why she loves the story. So she is bouncing all over the place, thrilled about Character Banners, about Banners and the chapters. It is awesome. She reminds me why Betas are ducking awesome all around. The enthusiasm and so on. And the request of more please.
Now, don’t get me wrong, there are lots of people on my beta team who love this story. 4Padfoot eagerly eats up the chapters, and missrissa81. Well. missrissa81 gets so happy you can’t help but grin. missrissa81 is the type of person you want on your Beta team. She will cheer you on. Want to do a new crossover? Hell yeah!! She is there reading it. Thinking of a one off? Can I have more instead? And.. she is one of the few people who can keep up with ALL my stories and to work on making sure they are all being on track. I will not be another CH. Nope. Not with her.
So.. you guys are getting this chapter, with the hope I will be back in time to do the next one, but I have told Meridian to go ahead since I am not finding hardly anything to change. A rarity with me I promise!
As you are reading this after Meridian posts it, I will be getting things packed and so on for the trip to Tucson. We will be leaving Thursday around noon if everything works out right. I will be leaving sometime Monday to come back. We prefer to drive at night, it is easier than driving the desolate waste of space between San Antonio and Tucson. Not a fun trip since most of the time will be spent driving, then with funerals. Never fun.
I have the enjoyment of announcing two new Betas, one is known, MistressJessica. She has agreed to beta The Best is Yet to Come (yes, the chapter is out and being worked on by Kelpie and her side of things). Its never a good idea to try to beta when you are writing the story. And not when you have two writers who love the story, but one writes in present and one write in past tense. This will make sure we stop worrying. The second is kbhotz. She is the beta for Tin Man. I am looking forward to working with either of them. We are always taking applications for betas. We have a test, and you also get to work with a beta who has been with us for awhile. And since I came up with 5 new ideas just this writing period, no one gets bored. The benefits is having access to all my chapters, even those I wrote the rough draft for.
With the new additions, well I am also promoting someone too. For so long, we have called Meridian the Queen of the Betas. But there has been a third there at all times helping. Bertie Botts. She has been mentoring, helping out, listening to me rant, to brainstorm with (She really is very much like me!!) and so on. She is the one that is I turn to If Meridian cannot help me at the time. So we have elevated her to Crown Princess. And then the rest of the ladies got named my princesses. LOL. Fun times, but they really are unselfish, awesome ladies who give of their time to help my stuff be readable. They listen to all I say and we help each other out. So they are to me, the royalty of betas. And mine! (For those that don’t know my place, well I am the Empress of My Universes. Really. It’s my job per Facebook!)
We held the Banner Contest for the Kittyinaz’s Group and for the Facebook Page. Now remember, this is a group only contest, and its quite free to join the group. (Click on the note on the side menu over there~~>) We have loads of fun. This month, the banner page here got a lot of entries and examples of why the ladies got not only nominated, but won their Van Gogh’s! I was shocked when one of my banners won, and the other, well I am not surprised about. I thought it would be a contest between 4padFoot and Gyllene.
1st place and the Banner for Kittyinaz’s Group in Facebook
2nd place and the Banner for the Facebook Page for Kittyinaz, that is connected to this site.
Unfortunately the news of Marty’s uncle being so sick came when the awards were announced, and I couldn’t get anything in me to crow that I won first in the Crossovers in the You Want Blood. It was the only one I crossed my fingers on that I would win on this one since I read Skin Deep, Ladies Night out, and I heard that the other one is awesome. I was amazed when I got the results for the categories and that I placed high on them. 5th or 6th. And when you are going against the writers I was, well. Not to be dead last was a huge achievement for me. Yes, I am Kittyinaz and I have low-self esteem. Ask my betas. I publish, cause I want to read them later. But I am shocked when you guys like them. And to nominate me? Hell yeah!!!
So while I deal with the sad things, you guys will get I Never Did chapters. And get ready for a ride. I did a lot of research and did a lot of looking hard at some actors. Such a hard job to look at guys to find my characters. So hard…..
So enjoy! And leave some reviews so I can have a smile as I hurdle towards Tucson at posted speed limits. Yeah… Sure. I have some ocean front property in Arizona if you believe that.
Wendy
Addendum from Meridian:
First, I’m sorry that Wendy has suffered yet another loss in her family. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Second, CONGRATULATIONS WENDY!!!!!
Third, while I totally understand the low self-esteem thing, I can see ABSOLUTELY no reason for Wendy to even know the word. She’s first and foremost an awesome lady, who is an awesome writer, who is an awesome friend, who is an awesome inspiration, who is an awesome animal lover, who is an awesome daughter/wife/puppy- and kitty-mommy… Really, she’s a joy to work with and I’m proud to call her a friend.
Fourth, I adore IND (*confession: I’m the MISTRESS of the art of laziness and will absolutely abbreviate all story titles…IND = I Never…Did) and am loving the chance to beta it as well as all the others I was able to get my greedy little beta-paws on, too.
Fifth, Bertie Bott has been an awesome help – going way above and beyond – and truly does deserve recognition for being “third in charge”. She is extremely intelligent, capable, patient, creative, and supportive, plus she’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever virtually meet. She is a very talented writer in her own right, so check out her stories!
Sixth, go read this latest chapter of IND and enjoy!
Ok, so I was invited by some dear friends of mine who run the Non-Canon Awards that were originally for the Twilight Fandom.. Seems they want to branch out to some other fandoms, and they picked me (?!?!?!) for the TB/SVM area.
I blinked a couple of times, asked some questions. I am to interview authors and do reviews for stories from our fandom for others to read and hopefully draw some new blood into our fandom. They also think it is funny that already Eric/Sookie is the non-canon in SVM, and that TB seems to be against the fans wishes too. I guess we are a fandom based around the non-canon couple. I think IDream mentioned only 35 stories were what they are pushing as the fan favorite and canon?
I even got this nifty banner!! The lady who made my Points of Authority Banner made this one for me too. Darkest Falling Star. She and WhiteWolfLegend are the two behind this little gem.
So, naturally, when they mentioned they wanted someone to highlight the crossovers, I nominated Bertie Bott. Share the wealth!!! (And yes they made them a banner too!)
So I sat with my beta group, which includes the amazing Kelpie in it, and we brainstormed. We came up with a list of questions, that either I answer in my group for beginning authors, and stuff we wondered about.
Then, because it is Blogger and not WordPress, I decided to test the site, also to give my authors an idea what we were looking for, and did myself. Good thing. I had to revamp the formatting. Techy issues. Remember, I like to jump in and figure it out form the inside out.
So I published mine, and you can read it (Yeah, click the banner above, it will take you to the post). It also has Hades as the character I picked for the character interview. I need to go and find someone to review my own stories.
Wendy – Kittyinaz
ps, because of the family issue I spoke about earlier, I am not sure what I can do this week. We are going to drive to the funeral, so it will be a full week for us. My ladies are working on a chapter for you, and you will have stuff to read. Just be patient. I am trying.
Yes, you heard it, You’re is done. It’s a short chapter, but it gives some hints on the next book in the series. I got to use this gif with permission, and have been entered into the author protection program. Click on it to go to the story… For those of you who write stories, you will know when I say it is a happy thing to be able to say completed, and yet, very sad time also. You pour your heart and soul into these stories, and the characters become part of you. You get paid nothing to write these, and yet, you feel like you received a million bucks when people like, favorite, review and so forth. It’s a bittersweet moment. My reconciliation? I am not done with these characters yet.
4padfoot has already turned the entire story into an ebook, which you can find by clicking the above image which is the cover I made for the book.
This story was from a challenge to write for a month and finish. As you can guess, it didn’t happen. No that story in a month is All I Want. But this one has finished, and there abounds hints to the sequel all over it, but it is more obvious in this last one than anywhere else.
HUGE thanks to Sitalia25, who is the official beta for this story. I hope she is well and able to work on the sequels!! I know she is wanting them as much as any of you. Thanks, Sitalia25 for all the work, time and everything you have done for this story.
Many, many thanks to my beta Queen, Meridian. She stepped up when Sitalia25 had complications. While not knowing anything really of TVD, she worked hard to get these chapters done for you ladies. Her dedication to making sure the chapters will be published makes me feel very justified for naming her the Queen. Please join me in thanking her for stepping up.
I got a bee in my muse bonnet, and have been working on I Never Did. I am about to start Chapter 10 today and will be working on it until Saturday when I get back to the to do list. I am planning to edit these chapters I am doing, so that while I try to finish the other stories, you guy will have something to read. It won’t be finished, but there are huge hints to the story in the character list.
As for the sleeping thing, well I am trying. I have bad days, and I have good days. Yesterday I started back to the gym, needing to get in shape to keep up with Bertie Bott when we meet each other for the Vampire Diaries conference in Las Vegas. 3 Months to go!!!
Please remember the Amazon link! It’s right there on the side to visit the pages. It costs nothing to you guys to use it, and it often makes a huge difference to my hubby and I. It helps with the cost of the site also.
The voting for the You Want Blood awards is still ongoing. You guys are rocking our socks off! I think the last time we looked there are 40,000 votes. You can vote up to three times in each category, and you can vote as many times as you wish. Also, you can leave comments to us. Is there an award we should have had? Let us know! Just click on the button to take you there.
Sephrenia has a writing contest out, and while I did not enter it, (nothing spoke to me) a lot of my betas and ladies I admire did. Go read them, and vote for your favorite!
The writing challenge this month is another Kill Bill. I went through and released the banner for the participants. You know you really want to Kill Bill. The Rules are in the Facebook group. The how to enter, and so on. I also opened up the Banner contest for this month. I am hoping the turnout will be awesome! 1st place will be used for the Banner of the Group, and the 2nd place will be used for the Facebook page. I am going to add a page for you guys to see the entries. They were awesome last month! Bertie Bott was our winner for the banner below, and I came in second place with the banner on Niall.
So come join us for teasers and so on. Facebook is the place to be, since we always talk on there. They also get teasers and so forth on what is going on. It is the place I find my talents, talk to the ladies in the group and so forth. And for the pictures. They are of men, of stars, and the favorites of the ladies. We have Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgard, Ian Somerhalder, Andrew Lee Potts, Jensen Ackles, Chris Hemsworth, Josh Kloss, and so many more. There are ALBUMS of the stars. and lots of Eye Candy….
Enjoy this short chapter, and I will be back with another story while I finish up a couple before I edit. And then expect multiple updates for awhile as I work my betas…
Yep, it is ready and waiting for you! I know you guys are excited!! We are getting close to the end.
So, for those of you not on Facebook, I warned them all I would be up at weird times. I am getting off Ambien. Seems you are not supposed to be on it more than a week or two. I’ve been on it for years. So I am kicking that to the curb, and my insomnia is still there. My issue is falling asleep. When I do sleep, usually there is no issues, but sleeping during the day? Yeah, people call more often than they do when you are sleeping at night. Funny how that happens. Don’t they know you are sleeping then?!?!?!?! LMAO.
I am back to working, since I have to exhaust my brain. However, there is a list of things to do now. Yeah, knew that wouldn’t last so long now that I got a new toy to play with. I like lists. I like to mark them down so I can see the progress I make. I am a very visual person. Hmm maybe since I think in pictures? Yeah. Lack of sleep makes me more skip around worse than normal. And its bad normally. Ask my hubby, he can tell you.
I have mentioned that I have a deviant art account, and just to let you know, it has some hints to the new story I am working on, Clocks. I have that and the Twilight one I started with, plus a new one I am blaming Karen’s muse whispering. She said she gave me a rest for a couple of months. But I am pointing to Clocks as NOT resting. Nope. And Wisdom is another of a new idea.
Now for Wisdom, I am doing three 5 chapter segments… If the reviews want them. And for the other story that I am spending this week on, is another shorty, since I am NOT sure anyone will read it. It was the product of a dream that lasted two nights. Stubborn bugger. I wrote it up, and getting some very favorable replies back on it. If the ladies on Facebook make their wishes known, I will post a teaser on it.
Kill Bill! I love the Kill Bill contests. It is the writing challenge for this month, and when I stated the rules, I got a lot of replies favorable. Again, you have to be a member of the Facebook group to enter, but I will be posting the stories here.
I bet you guys are wondering what the heck is the next group after I am done editing this group will be? Well, you guys asked and asked.. So I will give you the pet names the Betas (coughKarencough) came up for them. Aossi, ITE, Edge and Sun. So is it going to be great for you guys when I finish? Heck yeah. And I will have gotten a Twilight one done and off my list by that time.
Also up is the interview with Eric from ITE. (Yeah I am VERY late, but hey you try getting ready for writing the interview when your muse is being a fickle bitch and not letting you finish a story before flitting off and presenting me with new ones!) And I will give you a preview to a story that Sephrenia helped inspire. I wonder what it will be. [Activate Sarcastic Font]
That is up in my busy, busy world. I do have a plotline for Clocks, since my Muse decided in a night to give it to me and my white board is covered in notes. And I have a contest to verify and work on also. Voting closes tomorrow. So.. GO! Nominate who you want, before the nominations close, and we go through them. You guys have been filling them out, and we thank you, but with tomorrow being the end of the nominations, well, you DO want your favorites to be there for voting? Click the big banner below for it.
What gives is you guys need to thank Gyllene for I Never…Did that was up earlier while I was knocked out from Nyquil. With HUGE thanks to Meridian for Betaing it for the deadline that I was asked to for it to be done.
And yes, this an update for In The End. This one you owe mistressjessica1028 for it! Faeregina beta’d it in one day to get it ready, then when I sent it to mistressjessica1028 in return for the one shot she posted today, she went through and found some stuff. Nothing like a new pair of eyes looking over something. It was awesome before, but she helped it become superfuckingawesome. It’s a word. Ask my Word. It ignores stuff like that for me. She found my biggest thing, I drop words. A lot. And sometimes no one picks them up, since they know me so well. They see the word I meant to have there.
As you may or may not know, I am making banners now. So yes the banner for the chapter is one I made. I can’t promise to go back and make them for the chapters in the past, but for future chapters? Yep. I like them better. I just finished with ITE’s character Banners, so go take a peak.
Because of working on the banners and editing a chapter of ITE, it has been added to my list for next writing period. I finished one from this time, and have two more to do, before I unleash four stories on my Betas. I am finishing stuff, so give me patience, cause I hate not having answers for you guys.
The You Want Blood Awards nominations open tomorrow. Help make this as much of a success that you guys helped with the Crossover Haven. Tomorrow, open your browsers and nominate those SVM/TB writers!
Today is the last day to get the one shots in for the Kittyinaz Writer’s challenge and for the Banner contest for the Facebook page. I already know what next month’s prompt will be. You want to know what it is? Shhh.. Kill Bill. :::laughs as she hurriedly gets to next information::
The Interview for this month will be late.. Sorry, but I really need to NOT catch MamaKitty’s bronchitis. So I am not pushing myself and am working on what I can. I can’t even go to the gym since it is highly contagious. Stupid germs!
I know there is more to say, but I am wiped, and I have a couple more things to do before I can take more meds and fall asleep. Hope you like this chapter.
And this means another chapter of You’re is up and ready for you to read. It’s NSFW. Just letting you guys know. Chapter 24 for those that are still confused between FanFiction, FictionPad, Ao3 and TWCS, who all got Chapter 23 today.
So what else is going on Wendy? Glad you asked!!! (Cause I know you wanted to!!) Our group did AWESOME in the Fanatic Fanfics!! Look below for the awards that we got!!! Congrats to all the winners!!!
Now you want to know how I did? You’re got 3rd place, and Every Dark Night got 1st in Crossover fics. I feel like I am boasting, but it is all due to you guys voting!!! Thanks so much!!!!!
That brings me to another announcement. While we waited for the awards to be announced slowly, Mistress Jessica1028, 4PadFoot, Gyllene and Magsmacdonald got to talking about awards. From this conversation, we actually moved forward and are going to have one for those in the TB/SVM. Yes, we know there are the Fangies, and we are not trying to steal the spotlight, but we liked the idea of a couple different contests around that we have been in. So You Want Blood Awards came about. And yes that pic is one of my infamous clicky links, cause 4PadFoot aka WordPress Whisperer has already got us a site!!!! We are gearing up for the contest and have the categories ready and so on. Nominations will open on May 1st, and will be one week long. So please pay attention while we play it up, and help make this a great year for our first shot at it.
Crossover Haven… OMG!! You people ROCK!!!! We have had a day of almost 1k hits and it has not really slowed down! And kudos to Bertie Bott for getting one of my favorite FanFiction Crossover writers to post on our site. For those that don’t know, Crossover Haven is a place for ANY and ALL crossovers to be. We are still working to suggestions put out on streamlining the site. Also, while the site has some crossovers listed, we did it to try to show that we will accept anything that falls in our guidelines. ANY crossovers will be considered, and only if you have incest, rape as being the main part of the story as in it being done to the main characters not as a past story point, or domestic abuse unless again, a story point. We wish to have some guidelines for the grammar, as in not all in lower case, or upper case and stuff like that. And for what is considered ok? Well, to be blunt, if one of the people who reads and sets up the stories has a question, then they talk to the rest of us to agree. Plus there is a judging panel in case there is any questions from the people submitting.
Why was the Crossover Haven brought about? Twilighted. They rejected ED saying that it had too many grammar issues. I heard other people complaining when I said something, and how that crossovers that are not Edward/Bella are rejected. So I came up with a place for them to be submitted and NOT have to wait a freaking month to just be rejected. Plus I really love crossovers. To read, write and just all around love looking at the ideas. It is how I got into True Blood, I read a Godric/Bella fic that I cannot find anymore. But it started me reading True Blood and here I am today.
I am true believer in also helping people get started and recognized for their unique skills. So yes, there is a lot going on, and I am still writing, making banners, character profiles, hosting challenges in our group, and doing everything I can to push forward to others what amazing talents people have. I’m paying forward the love and respect I have gotten from others. You guys are the one who encouraged me to chase my dreams, and so much has come from it. I wish to help others do the same…
So go forth.. read, write, and so on! Tell me of your talents, and I will showcase them as I can! If you wish to participate, or have ideas for things, come to the Facebook group and you will not believe the support you can earn with it. Its a great feeling when others see what you can do. Shoot, MamaKitty, my mom, is part of my group! And there is a current challenge there, and I even have the banner for the current contest done: (And to have it, you just need to submit a one shot!)
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…
