It’s the last day to get those entries in unless you have contacted us for an extension. I have no idea who has or hasn’t since today is the first day I have been online in a long time.
So I look forward to reading what you have for us.
I am going back to the ITE chapter I have started and hopefully can finish today without throwing the dogs out of the room. Though, I am not that hopeful, since I already started today out not well. Laundry detergent and Softner mixed up. yeah. No idea how I did that one, and of course the tray doesn’t allow you to remove it. Oi vey.
Yep, you read that right, there are only four more days to get your entries in. The banner above will take you to the contest page with details on it (as well as the original Tumblr posts that inspired this contest.)
To remind you, you only need to send me an entry to get a banner made. It will take me time to get them done, especially when I will be coming back to the house late on Tuesday.
Here are the prompts:
Often a prompt makes you wonder, and it can kick off a process in your head that may not fit the prompt perfectly. Submit it!!! This is a writing contest to inspire people to write. For those that have no idea what to write about, but maybe this kicked off a process.
There are no fixed fandoms anymore, so have fun. I am looking forward to having these to read when I am done babysitting my nephew. I may need the rest since he is on a four-hour schedule. For being only months old, he is smiling and happy. Except when you disturb his schedule too much.
But I will be gone from a computer until Tuesday with only my iPad to check in with.
Looking forward to seeing what has inspired your muses!
Before the rest of the post, I am putting this here – We have tested the comments, and if you still cannot comment, please send us a screenshot with the browser you are using to kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com. Now you can continue reading this post that I have been holding onto until this problem has been fixed.
But I have a large post here. And it will have a chapter that you guys WANT. And…
If you can’t tell, LightK sent in some pics of what she was imagining, and the rest I add in. this was a fun banner to make, and interestingly, it was not the one who kept crashing on me.
Not to be undone, The Looking Glass Door was another favorite of mine, though it kept crashing my computer. But each time, I admit it got better, me learning new ways to manipulate the pictures on the background.
Now to both the fine ladies, I admit I am VERY sorry that the site’s issues of comments hampered you hearing from your fans. If you give me links to where you will be posting these, I will be happy to put the links in place.
Not to be outdone, the new contest is up and waiting for entries, you have a little under a month to get those entries in!
As for the comments, please keep sending us your issues and screenshots if possible as well as the device you are using. We are working on getting this corrected, but I will advise when we think the issue is fixed. Also the June contest page has no place for comments cause of the way I built it. Sorry.
Again the email is kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com. This is checked by the wonderful and highly appreciated Rissa who helps me out more than you guys ever imagine. Since the comments are not working, you can leave them on the email as well if desired.
Now, I will be getting back to timelining In The End. I am on Chapter 13, and while I am working on it, plot points are turning in my head. So hopefully I will be able to write this one out to the end soon! I am already putting out little parts of the story in the Kittyinaz’s Group. I am also adding my Author page in Facebook on the side for any who wish to follow me there. I will warn you, it also receives the reblogs as well.
Have fun, and I will check back with you next week!
Here is the contest that I spoke about in the Kittyinaz’s Facebook group.
The Soulmate Prompt Challenge.
For those that follow me personally, know I share a lot of stuff on Facebook. Seriously, tons of stuff. One of the things I love is the Best of Tumblr. One of my first betas that I still follow turned me on it, and I share so much of it.
Lately, some of the ladies that have friended me have commented that the ones about soulmates would work for a writing contest. Many of them were inspired by the prompt, and after talking about it, I decided that I would make it into the next contest.
Except, that it has come very late due to all the issues I have had.
Now, I have changed one of the rules, but I have also explained WHY I enacted this rule to begin with. I am talking about it being fandoms that I write in. The reason I did this one is so that the people who take that chance and write, will have readers that are geared towards reading their fics.
However, I figured I would put the WHY and then relax that rule. If you want to write in another fandom, then please do! I want this to encourage the muses to get their chosen to put fingers to keyboards and share their amazing talents. Would I have entered something like this when I started? Heck yeah!!!
Why?
I am entered with others, in a way no one would know which piece was mine. They would read and comment on them without knowing if I was a well-known author or if this is my first work. The fact that ANYONE can enter would make me nervous, but at the same time, as I read the reviews, well it would be hard to not say who I was.
It is also why I am adamant on the rules being followed. If I ever find someone letting others know WHICH story they entered, I will pull the story. Now letting others know you ENTERED? Heck yeah!!! Get it out there!!! See how many try to guess which is yours!!! For knowing others and their writing styles, I still guess wrong. And I am the one making the banners!!!
Yes, I have no idea who is who when I do the banners, in fact, no one BUT Rissa knows who is who. (And if you can make it easier on her, make sure your story itself doesn’t have your name in it!!!) She strips out anything that would give it away to me. That way when I am done, I can ask her who is who. And even then, (unless I am going on vacation or extenuating circumstances come up) I don’t find out until AFTER the contest is finished.
4Padfoot gives me who wins and at the same time, Rissa gives me who wrote what.
So, you are probably thinking that I am not giving you a lot of time to do this right? How about until the 15th of JUNE? That is right, I am giving until the middle of next month to write this. And I am giving myself time to get the banners done. I am aiming to have the stories up at the beginning of the month, or earlier if I finish the banners in time. I will be doing this from now on, giving until the 15th of the next month to get the stories in.
This will mean if you are close to finishing, pop over to Rissa, and let her know. If you ask, we will discuss and it will be likely you are given an extension, as long as you finish before I post them. You still have to give me time for the banner, or it will basic and no one deserves that.
So here are the prompts:
Musical Prompt:
Clock Prompt:
Photo Prompt:
Swapping Bodies Prompt:
The main banner up top takes you to the writing contest page that also has the Tumblr post that the prompts are based upon. It also explains the rules more, that the prompts are not needed to be used word for word. They are just there to stir the muses. Please let us know which one(s) inspired your story in your emails.
I look forward to reading them all (a definite perk of all of this!!) and seeing what you inspire me to come up with as a banner.
For those that were looking for a chapter, well, you might get one, for a certain story that you all love. We will see what time I will have and how I feel.
Yep, you read it right. I have finally gotten with everyone to get this together.
This is mostly (99.9%) my fail. Real life jumped in and smacked me around, threw me down some stairs, and stood up at the top of them laughing at me.
I have had everything to losing over 1k of my pictures (all the background pics people. Seriously panicked), my computer kept shutting down as I made the last banner. No less than 10 times. Then I couldn’t get back on the computer. After all that, I was so sick I couldn’t even talk. To finally have a guest for a week. Since I am the one who is home, I was asked to take her around.
We even had wires crossed when I was trying to finish up, and just this was bad on my part.
But finally, I am done.
I have given a week for voting. Please read and comment on these stories. These authors took a chance to write, and I was thrilled to read them both. I got to remake a banner so many times, I thinkI can make it in my sleep now.
Also, for those wondering, I have a contest I am working on, and I am going to give myself some time to relax after this last one, then time to make the banners. No more quick turn-arounds for me to feel as if I failed everyone.
This is one of the ‘fun’ ones.
So off to read the stories, comment to encourage the writers to not give up (And again, I am SOOOO sorry!). Then VOTE!!!!
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…
