For those that don’t remember the posting schedule, here it is again:
Sunday – None
Monday – All I Want
Tuesday – None
Wednesday – I Never…Did
Thursday – Wisdom, Justice and Love
Friday – Heavenly on Kittyinaz, Cross The Line on AoA
Saturday – The Mummy, or Clocks
As you can see, we have a lot to do, and we are not looking at the ones I have not finished yet. I Never Did is waiting on me to reread and make sure the errors that had been found by our very own wonderful Continuity Beta is fixed. For the stories that I have been working on getting out, well as soon as I get them to the betas, they will tell me what day they want to aim for.
And remember, This is NOT a guarantee. I have a real life as well as my betas, and am very insistent on them doing their own thing. And of course there are family emergencies, or kids stuff and adult stuff and … well you get the idea.
Then there are the times when I was detressing, making a banner for adoption, and the perfect song along with the banner inspires me… to make this:
Yes. A new story. I spent the last two days working it out, and TexasEx has already claimed it. I have to admit, that is one of the few banners I just stare at shocked I made it. As always, you can click on it to be taken to the placeholder that actually has a description. No chapters yet, I am working to get it written down and then move on to finish Clocks and so on, but don’t be surprised when I am writing Aos Si and In The End, this will be played with.
I think I need a straightjacket for the muse.
Also, (yes I am making you read all this!) I finally finished the banner for Looney Tooney!!! I want to give a huge shout out to Ms. A. Taney!!! She is the one who drew for me the characters. Yes. She DREW them. She is WAY more talented than I am!!! I can draw stick figures. I can color like you wouldn’t believe it, but actually draw the stuff??? No. As always, click on the banner to reread this masterpiece!!!!!
Monday’s chapter is already sent to me. I just need to look it over and make the banner for it. Tomorrow is for me to work on the database if I want. I may need a day of rest. I’m still in pain, but so much needs to be done, including….
Christmas. Yes. I am half Russian and my Dad celebrated Russian Christmas. So I remember the day in honor of him. He loved it as much as I did, and my mom jokes about it, saying she didn’t really remember it when she was married to him. But all in all, it’s fun, and it harms no one. So today, I am taking it down. <sighs> The house is looking so bare now…
Don’t forget:
Writing challenge for this month!!! I have a lot of positive feedback in the group.
Amazon is still around.
Reblog page. I went through and updated the theme, so it is set for the Winter time. lol.
So the chapter today. I will say, that I had to do a lot of work, to make it understandable what happens. Many thanks as always to MistressJessica1028 for her invaluable work for this chapter. Like I said, she has finished the story, so these ones will be updating…As long as I am still ok!
Click on the above banner, and it will take you to the chapter. The linking is not active in the story, but you should be fine until then….
I am working with an artist for a banner for the Kill Bill Contest… Looney Tooney was the name of the story and it is AWESOME!!! Click on the name if you want to read it, I will debut the banner as soon as we are done with it.
For those that follow What If, you know I was inspired by a story by Blood Of You Lips. She is publishing the book, Feral. Here is a blurb she had on it!
Greetings, all. I am thrilled to announce that Feral: Book Three is now available for purchase at Amazon. And let me tell you, this one has a couple interesting moments, including an incredibly taboo twist and an unexpected surprise for Sofia Capriola. I’m also pleased to say that Book Four should be out on January 1st, so keep your eyes out! On a personal note, I hope everyone enjoys their winter holiday. I will probably be sharing pictures and a story or two. Happy Holidays, everyone! ~Velvet ‘DeeDee’ DeHaven
Yes, the link I provided should take you there using my link to give me credit.. 🙂
For those of you who are cooks, we have a excellent site called Kittyinaz’s Group Food Blog. It has recipes and the admin of the site, Megan, had been doing an awesome job of showcasing the abilities of the site with her 25 days of Christmas recipes. Click on the banner to go to it. You will need to sign up for the emails. But it is awesome, and when the Kraft Site went down on thanksgiving eve, I used that one instead.
Don’t forget the Christmas Carols Contest that is coming up due soon!! My one shot is out being checked over for content. I was inspired halfway through it, and am waiting approval to use it. Remember, it just has to be a fandom I used. I will be changing the wording on the official rules from now on. Sorry for the misunderstanding! I am ending it early so that we can get the banners done and the readers can read the stories before Christmas!
I am getting officially into the OMG it’s almost Christmas. I got the Christmas Cards sent out, with a few trickling out from ones being received. Tomorrow starts the bake off, and then I will be wrapping, baking and so on. I will be going out to get supplies, and unfortunately, the cleaning elves will be coming in first then I will be baking. Ah well. Cookies and treats are important right?!!?
My list of cookies and treats?!?! Snickerdoodles, No Bakes, Smore’s cookies, Cap’n crunch bars, Banana Bread, Pumpkin Pie, Butter Cookies (Which are not your normal, these are made with oatmeal and coconut), Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, (Yes my hubs requested just dough) Chocolate chip cookies, Peanut butter covered pretzels, macaroons, a Meringue Cooke Meridian told me about, Turtle Brownies, Peanut Butter cookies, Hershey Kiss Cookies and whatever else I see when I am going through making my list (and checking it twice!) tonight.
A lot of those are on the food blog. I make them each year, and the food blog is easy for me to use my iPad for the recipes. I can sit it up high and use the recipes with it.
My reblog page is picking up people, if you want to see what I am reading in the WordPress world, that is the place to go. I often get out the sites all day long if I am on the computer, but after I certain part, I get off, and catch up in the morning.
I’ve added some banners to the Adopt a Banner page for adoption. I trolled Pinterest last night, and it gave me ideas. LOL!!!! Go check them out! Also, if you have claimed a banner from me, but have not named the story so it is still under the adopt portion, please contact me. I just want to make sure the Banner is remembered by you to claim.
I’m off to work some, send off requests for quotes on fences and so on. Yes, we are refencing the back yard finally. Seems Murphy and Connor play to the point we are untangling the leads everyday multiple times. Potty training took a nose dive today, it’s wet and rainy outside. Murphy hates it so he refuses to go outside. He is finding out what it means to make me mad, I ignore him. It seems to work better than anything else. Another Connor.
I hoped to be further along in Dying, I have 8 pages of it’s journal written for the ideas, and I have used page 1 & 2 so far.
It’s one sided, since I use the other side for notes on changes I am making as I write. We will see how this goes. I am now looking for fencing quotes for the backyard.. I have a big back yard. Yikes!
I hope I will be able to write something soon for you guys to enjoy the Christmas One Shot. I am off to finish the current chapter I am working of Dying. And to do other stuff. Like clean floors from muddy dogs….
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!!!
LMAO…. ok how many of you went crazy this past weekend? I didn’t get to, but this coming weekend I will be out of commission as I shop my heart out for Christmas.
So… You know what day it is right?!?!?! Yep. Monday. And instead of offering you a special deal of 99% off, I will give you instead a free gift! A Chapter of AIW!
Click on the banner to get there, the links will be active once the WordPress Whisperer whispers cunningly to the internet and makes them magically appear.
Yeah, I am in a good mood. LOL. I be you guys couldn’t tell could you??? Why?
Because for one thing, it is Christmas. My favorite time of the year. The good vibes off everyone is enough to make anyone smile. To have Christmas songs playing (Joy to the World by Faith Hill right now!!) I was happier until I sat up and realized that I have downsized a pillow from the attentions of Murphy and Connor. Ah well. It’s just money.
LOL.
Ok so this past week when we were supposed to be all doing the holiday thing, some things went down. To answer the questions I am still getting, here is a break down:
Yes, I am phasing out FanFiction.net. This week will be the last chapter for All I Want on that site. I will be publishing the beginning of stories, and that is all. If it comes to the need to delete stuff, then the story is no longer being published there. I will continue publishing here everything. TWCS is another site that hosts my stories as well as A03 and FictionPad. But they are all published here first.
Yes, I am pulling all the Tea Shoppes and stories that have to do with it. This will happen on Wednesday. After a long discussion, my betas convinced me it really is good enough to publish. I didn’t think so. It has not ended, so it will be sold as a book instead.
I am still writing FanFiction. In fact, last night I finished editing the Mummy. And was very upset with myself for leading into the sequel. If I can wrangle the time before I need to do anything, I will start on IND. I find I can edit on my laptop better since I am not talking to everyone. I don’t like to edit. So I am easily distracted. oops.
I also edited a one shot Gyllene loves, so it is off to the betas.
After IND, Clocks is being edited. I plan to have EVERY story I have updates for to be sent off to the Betas soon. So expect more and more to show up for you guys.
Best was opened, but was found to be too tiring for me at 2am to work on. I expect you will be finding that one sent off soon also.
We started a new Facebook group for those who are switching over to WordPress, or who are users of it who wish to find new tricks, talk over issues they are having or so forth. It is a open group, and as people join and ask, we will discuss some items. I did some tutorial screen shots to show how to add media, how to use shortlinks and how to embed links in posts and pages through the use of either pictures or words. It is called WordPress Help for FanFiction
That is the questions I received this week. Here are your answers. Nothing else is being removed at this point. I am planning on finishing all the stories. The reason Tea Shoppe was pulled cause it was an original story being set to the fanfiction worlds.
We held our monthly Banner Contest over in the Kittyinaz Facebook Group. Members who wish to participate often submit their entries when I open the contest up. This month was harder due to the holiday. The first place is the banner of the month on the group page, and 2nd place is the banner for the Kittyinaz Facebook Page. Please see the Banners below to be taken to the pages. Congrats to our winner! (PS, no the banner does not snow on the Facebook Page. But I use these as opportunities to try new things!)
I received one entry. If you had forgotten, you have until midnight to get in your entry, otherwise the one entry wins. Because of the response… This is the last Kill Bill. I will work to find the theme for this month’s contest. I am thinking Christmas….
Amazon.. It is shopping season, and please if you use Amazon, use the link above in the banner to buy from them. It helps me out and does nothing but may help you. For those that rather copy and paste, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=kittyinaz-20 Thanks!!
Murphy!
Good news on that front. He got his shots on Saturday with the normal Vet we use. They are trying to find some flea medicine to use with him since the medication on his mange is really strong. His fur is coming in, and you have above adorable pics last night as he slept while I edited. And yes, that is his tongue sticking out. He is getting the idea of house training, he is actually going to people before he goes inside. The problem is we have no idea if it is for affection or to go out. But he is telling us!
For now, I will let you soak in these things as I introduce the Person of the Week!
This week is Naima Demars.
This woman is amazing. She has never failed to help out in anything we have asked, or to take up causes she finds. If you are on Facebook, you know this woman as the person who shares updates on FanFiction Lovers as well as SVM/TB FanFiction. She was the one who spread the word on the You Got Blood Awards, and who also helped spread the word on the Plagarists. I even saw her comments on the person’s stories that she told them which stories they stole it from!!!!
She is so very loyal to those she sees as friends. Even though English is not her first language, she works with us English speakers. I am constantly amazed.
So please, leave her a kind word on her wall in Facebook. She more than deserves the credit for working to see the SVM/TB Fandom not dying as many have seem to have done. We well appreciate her efforts and continue writing, knowing she will be there cheering us on!
Have fun this week, and I will see if I can get a IND chapter done now.
This is not your normal post. I am online to do a class for Photoshop, well to do as many as I can, but I remembered I never formally did the post for the contest.
Oops.
So here it is. Kill Bill.
This is because I had a lot of people ask for it, and decided to go ahead and host it. I am going to see what the response is, and even if we want to do another. I do have other contests, including one for Christmas. Its playing around in my head, so I will let you guys know then.
Here are the rules:
Must use prompt(s). You either have to Kill Bill from True Blood/SVM OR mention the line Kill Bill in the story. Nothing more, nothing less!
Use characters in my stories.(Though you will get extra credit for doing this!)
No letting anyone knowing which story is yours.
If you submit, you can grab the Banner for Participating for the month.
If explicit, you need to warn people in the title.
All entries must be received by kittyinazwritingchallenges@gmail.com by Midnight CST at the end of the last day of the month.
To enter, you can send it to the Kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com or to the Writing Contest email, KittyinazWritingChallenges@gmail.com by midnight on November 30th 2014 CST. These are both permanent email addresses that Rissa checks for entries and really anything. Please include the name you want on the banners when the contest is over for Rissa to send to me. She sends the stories to me, and erases any way of me knowing who wrote what. They are due by the end of the month, and give me a few days to do the banners. If you wish to send them in early, please do, I will be able to do the banners ahead of time, and get them ready for publishing early.
The banner above is the Participation banner for the contest.
That’s it!
And so I don’t have to do another Post to tell you, The Cross the Line chapter is ready over at the Anthem of the Angels. Please remember to sign up for receiving the emails. There are times I may not be able to post the chapter, and the betas can do it for me. Thanks!
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…
