I have already granted one extension, just by someone asking. Also, if your entry has been received, you should have received a confirmation email back. If you send anything about the writing contests, you should have received an answer back.
If not, feel free to contact us on one of our other accounts. We have the betas one: Kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com or KittyinazWritingChallenges@gmail.com. Both are checked especially when the writing challenges are happening.
The Betas email is for things that do not concern me, so no sending anything there for me, since I will not see them. I don’t even have a password for the email, but I do for the challenges now, in case I need something. But again, that is only checked once a month unless it is around a time for a challenge to be finished.
Now I am off to the other room, hopefully getting better so I can be back in the chair getting some chapters done and some banners for the contest done.
You have two more days to turn in your entries for the Kittyinaz Writing Contest!!!
…
..
.
What?
An idea just popped up in your mind?
You need more time?!?!?!?!?!
NO FEAR!!!!!
Send an email to the kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com explaining how much time you need, and we will grant your wish. Hopefully.
But if you don’t try, you shall never write in the contest….
OK, so I am watching Kung Fu Panda, and did my own attempt at whatever wisdom I can part to you in the Chinese Wisdom.
In other words, I am trying………
So please get your entries in (and grab your Participation Banner!!!) or contact us for that extension, if needed. The link is the top banner if you need a refresher on the rules or even grab that banner.
If you have Facebook, you know how they show you memories of things you posted in the past.
Today it showed me this pic.
For those that followed me from the very beginning, will recognize that this was the first Writing Challenge I ever issued.
Yep, that is the one that started everything. I had some awesome people who wrote for it and amazed me that they participated. If you are interested in reading those stories click the picture to be taken to those first entries. And mucho shout outs to MissRon80 who made those first banners!
And yes, I am using this to remind everyone that the writing contest is less than a month left!!!! March 15th is the deadline. You know the exceptions, but you have to contact us to get them.
Click on the banner below to be taken to the current challenge page, as well as to grab your participation banner if you have submitted a story. Just remember, you can’t tell anyone which story is yours!
Now I have to wait on an AC guy, so I am off to edit today while I can with my cup of tea and music playing.
First off, please don’t forget that this site is not free for us, that we self-host it to allow us to use the site as we wish. It allows us much more freedom, that also allows us to host the writing challenges and well, anything we can come up with. If you think about it, please feel free to donate. The donation button is on the right side of any chapter or posts you read.
Now, that THAT part is done with, (I hate asking as much as you hate reading my begging), now to the fun stuff.
The vacation is over. It was nice, and I got a story I had been stewing in my head out of it and talked with my muse. I still need to work on the original story, which I will be starting to edit in hopes to inspire the muse in what was fun with it.
I may not have enough time to work on much for awhile. RL interfering and so on, but hopefully, it will be over by June, no more than December of this year. Hubby is determined that my story will be a bestseller and so on. I have tried to tell him otherwise, but he is dead set on it.
I am getting ready to start editing chapters. I had a frustrated as heck day since I wanted to start on this sooner, but I had issues. My wifi Adapter pooped out on me, and I needed the chapters I had on Drive to sync up so I could work, as well as I was being irritated with the delay in the house closing moved to Friday. Hubby fixed the internet issue with us buying an ethernet cord to stretch from the living to the office. The delay in the closing, well it is out of our hands, we have answered all the questions, proved what we needed. It is up to outside sources and they verified that for us.
Oi Vey. I think I will never want to buy another house after this one.
So I am here ready to work, and will be editing chapters for Betas. Also, any betas who have NOT read the notice in the Beta Chat, please stop over there to juts give an indication of what you wish to do. I promise this makes more sense once you read it.
For those who are wondering, I did start another chapter for IND. We will see what happens. It depends on my health and RL. Neither being very kind to me lately.
Reminders:
Writing Contest!!!!!! I am looking forward to this year’s first!!! The pic is your prompt for this one…
And nothing else yet. LOL!!!
Enjoy the stories, I appreciate coming online and seeing people still visiting the site, as well as reading the reviews left. Some of you are going back to read some of the older stories. Wow!
Sorry, everyone, I have been really sick. Right now I started this while waiting for my Chamomile tea to brew since it is the only thing that makes my throat feel better. No idea what I have, since I can breathe fine, it seems not to affect my nose, but it is my sinuses. Go figure.
So before I run back into the bedroom to try to sleep the few hours before something happens and I wake up (since this has been the recurring theme for the last three days, and I so want to sleep!), I wanted to let YOU guys know what the writing challenge is.
I published this in the group back when I was feeling good, thinking no biggie, I will publish it tomorrow. Never even guessing I would feel this bad.
This is based off a pic. Full credits are owned by the artist who did the pic, I did change one thing to make it more mine. Ok more than one thing, but you guys don’t really want to know about filters and so on, right?
Here is the pic:
Rules:
Must use prompt(s).
All fandoms are allowed.
No letting anyone knowing which story is yours.
If you submit, you can grab the Banner for Participating for the month. You will also receive a banner for the story you submit.
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 15th of March 2017.
To enter, you can send it to the Kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com or to the Writing Contest email, KittyinazWritingChallenges@gmail.com. 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 15th of March at midnight CST. From there I will reserve until the end of the month to be able to do banners, with the option of opening the contest early if I finish ahead of time.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Do remember, it is anonymous, so if you are inspired, but frightened to put your name out there, please try here! My readers are awesome at leaving reviews, and you can answer them at the end of the contest (I will let you guys know when!) Plus, you get a banner made for your story!
Everyone who enters the writing challenges are winners.
Seriously.
It is hard to enter contests. I still get all nervous and rethink my entries and so on. It is easy to publish a story, you know your fans will let you know what they think. And I cheat by giving my Facebook group teasers to see what they think of any new ideas I have.
But to submit a piece of work anonymously and see what strangers really think of it?
That is brave.
So, congrats to the ones who entered the Christmas Challenge. It was close, I had to look a couple of times to make sure I had the right person since the numbers were only a couple off from each other.
However, as is usual, I have a 1st place and 2nd place. Congrats to GeezerWench who is our 1st place winner with her awesome Gifts & Wishes.
The other entries are as follows:
Authors, you are now allowed to answer to any reviews. If you want your Banners altered for your preference of an actor, let me know. And if you need them for other formats, (i.e. Fanfiction, Better for Texas or so on) let me know. Also, let me know if you want your story to be linked back to your site, or you are continuing elsewhere. Unless you contact me, I think it is all hunky dory. I’m forgetful so even if I follow your story, it might be from my iPad and I forget to link them when I get back to my computer.
As for the next contest, it will be a random one, since all the others are going to be one of two popular challenges from the past. The Angels in the Fire, and the Fairy Tales. The Christmas one is an annual one so it will be done closer to time. But for the first quarter, I will probably do a picture inspiration.
I’ll see you guys later for an update on what is going on.
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…
