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 am working on the newest chapter of Sacred for your reading pleasure. It’s going back and forth between tj6james6 and I. She has good points from the last work through I had, so I am going to go back and work those in. I’m also working on another chapter of a story I cannot tell you about. This week, as long as RL doesn’t come into play like it did last night, is spent getting more chapters ready for the betas so when I go into the OF writing mode, I don’t have to worry about chapters for you guys right away.
Also, for those not in my Facebook Group, I sent out a call to bloggers. If you have a Blog, and can do banners, or have someone doing banners for you, I need a banner in the size 888×499. If you have one, please send it to me at the kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com. Along with your blogs address.
I will advise you guys to update your Abouts. I am using them. The reason? Let’s say I am updating my Blogs I love as well as someone we all love is doing a rec story and blog site. My rec’s got to be too huge for us to update on this site. Seriously, a couple hundred on Fanfiction.net alone. I will admit I am spending much more time making the banners for it than anything else, so if you want me to make one, know I am going to try to reproduce the one on your blog. I just don’t have time to spend on making them to order.
So if you are in my Blogs I Love page, you will be done. If you update and I follow you, you will be done. The ones that I have finished so far have been updated, I have a couple new banners to put in that I received today. Any others, well you can always send the details to me in the above email addy. I would give you guys the personal one, but frankly, I have enough junk that would be sent by grabbing the email from here.
Also, Bertie’s Contest is ending Friday, and to quote her:
Currently we have a tie for second place and 1st and 3rd have narrow leads. Another close one as predicted, so make sure you vote for your favorites today! Voting is allowed once a day, so if you’re torn between multiple stories feel free to stagger your votes accordingly! – Bertie Bott
So please don’t forget to vote!!! And as the banner to her page shows, I Participated!
And of course, there is my own contest…..
I am off to work on chapters, banners and so on. See ya soon!
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…
I have been missing…but there are hints of chapters being beta’d by multiple betas….
I know, we have been talking about a chatroom and so on. I am here to tell you, it works! to go to it, click on the link: Kittyinaz’s Chat Room. There are ways to private message and so forth on it. I cannot promise to sit on it 24/7 but when I am online, I will try to be on it. But it will only be when I am on my desktop. The facebook group Kittyinaz’s is where I am more likely to be found and has all the teasers of where I am in stories.
Also, earlier today, I had one of my Interviews post on the Non-Canon Awards! It’s for the Queen of Area Five. Click on the banner below to be taken to it.
I have to apologize. I have been dealing with my insomnia, and it got too much this week. I am trying to work, and probably will be working this weekend. I also still have no iPad. The guy fixed it and a corner lifted, he took it back and fixed that spot, only to have the screen to crack on him. He had another on order, and due to my hubby seeing the possessed iPad act, took it to him, saying I cannot use it now. So cross fingers. I want my iPad back!!!
And it is worse, since I already spent a stupid day in bed thanks to the dang insomnia and my body fighting. I don’t like it when they fight. I seem to be the one suffering when it happens funny enough. Stupid both of them. They just need to get along! And let me go back to sleep when I wake up. :grumbles:
If you haven’t read either The Bespoke Witch or Casting the Stake, which is an AU of The Bespoke Witch with the Weasley’s casting their stake instead of the Malfoys. You are missing some awesome treats!!! Yes it is Harry Potter, but it is so freaking awesome you will be blown away!!! Our very own 4Padfoot set up glittergrrrl05’s website which you will be taken to when clicking on the banner she made of the fic.
LJ Summers is the author of Casting the Stake, which I adore this woman anyways. She and I spoke every night throughout this fic being written, with me being ordered to bed often. LOL! Go read and enjoy! Tell them both I sent you!
Another author to be reading if you like Crossovers, The Darkest Falling Star has done a Twilight/Hobbit with Bella/Legolas. It may sounds odd to start that far back, but let me tell you, there is a reason. I hungrily read any update even if it is on my hated iPhone. (the screen is sooo tiny and my battery drains. I am looking forward to finally using my upgrade to get another one!). Click on the banner and leave her some reviews! This story is freaking awesome!
I will tell you I am also seeing snippets of the site 4Padfoot is putting together for the information I put together in my database as well as others who are helping me now of my favorites. All I can say is wow. Seriously…wow. She is amazing, to take an idea and make it reality.
So I am off to make her and my other pre-reader Royal Ember (Who updated her story that I made a banner for, which is amazingly, has sneaked it’s way into this post!) happy and write some chapters on a story. I can’t tell you more than that, cause it is a shhhh type. I will tell you later on it. I promise!
So go read some awesome stories, stop by and say hi. Me? I am going to sit here and pout while I fight to be able to write a story somehow. I may be borrowing a laptop soon.
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…
