I am here with another chapter for Harry Potter. I know.. no cheering needed. We want to stretch out these last chapters….
Now here is the thing, I never though that all this would take as long as it has. Not in a million years. I expected to be close to finishing my book by now, not still working on the database and having stories to edit when I am done. So we have chapters left to go, but soon we will be running out of the ones I wrote and edited.
For the database, I worked through to the T’s on Harry Potter on Fanfiction. I will be picking it up probably Monday. Depending if Monday is the same as it has been, or if it is one I can get right to work. *shrugs* There is so much going on anymore, that I cannot help but deal with it all on Monday and then move on to working. But we have 1158 stories in the database. WE are in the M’s in the blog (going backwards). Newer authors, please drop us a line. We are working off the blogs I follow, and you newbies are not on there. American Android I know is one.. I know there are more. but heck, I draw a blank.
When the inputting of all this information into the database is all done, and you see any mistakes, or that we are missing some stories you think are awesome, well, there will be a way to add to the list. Right now 4Padfoot is playing with the information and we are thinking that this is going to have to be located off my site. We are not close to being finished, and already it is like 3 times the original files size. And to think, we are working off what I read. I have said it in my group and to 4Padfoot, I read too much!!!!
Speaking of reading, you do remember there is a Reblog I do for the sites right? Yep. Click on that banner above, and you can go there and sign up. All the blogs I follow, when they post, I try to reblog as soon as I can. If anything, look through it when you are looking for something to read, it would be a great place to start.
Oh yeah… Go Vote!!! The You Want Blood Awards are open, and you can vote once a day for three entries in each category. I did mine yesterday, and I will be going after this post to vote for mine today. Remember, there are alot of the ladies who help out in my site in there. In fact….
Bertie Bott “Crown Princess”
Bertie Bott, the lady who beta’d this chapter and my Harry Potter stories as well as When I Pretend, is up for one!!! She often will step in and beta chapters for me when others can’t for the TB stories. I am thrilled that she along with, well most of my beta team is on the list!!! Gyllene76 is 4Padfoot’s minion, Meridian is the Queen as well as the beta for the Set you Free Trilogy and I Never Did. MistressJessica1028 does the Mummy, and is going to do Clocks when I edit it. The Queen of Delicious aka TexasEx is going to be doing Some Sacred Place in Time. Royal Ember is my bouncer of ideas for Some Sacred along with 4Padfoot.
How to choose?!?!?!?!?
This is the deal with alot of the votes, so this way, I can at least vote once for the other stories and then concentrate on the ones I want to win. I have a strategy. Now if it works, it would be awesome!
I hate to do it, but don’t forget I am up for three awards: Roller Coaster for All I Want, Best Crossover for Put your Feet Up to the Edge which is the sequel to Every Dark Night. and finally, for Van Gogh. All of these I am thrilled to make it this far, but I won’t lie and not tell you I am hoping to walk away with at least one place. Any place…
There is the Writing Contest, as well!
And tonight is the last night for the Historical Contest, so hurry over there to vote.
Me? I am going to shower off the spring cleaning I did today so I can get into my fresh clean sheets, for me to sleep and then wake to continue. I got my side of the office done, (I even went through my pens!) and did the Bathroom enough for me to know I need to tackle that one day when I have some organizational items. Surprise anyone? Shouldn’t. But tomorrow is the main parts of the house. All the areas no one cleans most of the time, like the cabinet that holds all the Painted Ponies I collect. I really need to buy another one… lol.
But I will relax for the rest of the night, and write some more chapters for Royal Ember and 4Padfoot. Otherwise they may hurt me…
Tin Man Chapter!!! And I will let you know, this is so very NSFW!!! Yes, this is the moment you guys have been waiting for. Sorry it too so long. But hell, things happen, and we all know this.
I updated you guys on what was going on, and was very pleasantly surprised on what I got nominated for. That I got into the official top tens, that blows my mind. Thanks so much everyone!!! I am still on a high on that one.
OK, reminders!!
There is a historical TB/SVM contest going on.. Go read and vote!
There is my writing prompt for this month!! I was told that so many people could use it, and I don’t know if I have one entry yet.
Since I did get nominated for Van Gogh, I wanted to remind people there are still banners that I made that no one has claimed. I made then played with the above picture, before adding Alex, Ian and Allan to it per requests. Click on it to be taken to the banner pages, and see if there is a banner you want. Remember, I will replace characters if you ask, or even if you want a banner, just ask.
The awards voting will be in 3 days, so expect me to let you know. I hate bragging and begging, but hell. I am up against the best of the best!!! There was my plug….
OK. Go read the chapter below, and I am going to work on the database until later tonight when I reward myself by allowing me to write. I am kinda shuddering for when you guys read these chapters. I am being yelled at by one prereader, and the other is planning a rescue. It’s bad when these two ladies know me, and know I am all about the HEA. And have to remind them! It’s a different story alright. I wanted to try to have something that not only started differently than any other, but through all your preconceived notions on the characters out the window…and to make it believable. I take it I am doing that very well. Too Well.
Enjoy the chapter, there is nothing being posted tomorrow on here, but it is the day I update all the other sites. Don’t forget about the Fanfiction Affliction. I am moving things over and the Alice portion will be exploding tomorrow.
So this weekend was not spent away from the computer. Yes, the Nominations closed on Friday night, then the ladies were super duper awesome in getting them finished when I was away for like an hour. An Hour!!!!!!!!
Then we opened up the Wild Card places, places that we would have had to decide who went where, and there were alot of them! Luckily, you guys stepped up and helped us sort that right out.
For those of you who helped by sending in your information, thanks!!! And to others that we are bugging today as we do our third and final checks? Thank you again. Yes, we are human, but we do try.
Of course, Murphy’s law struck me, and my computer decided that I needed a major scan and kicked me off the internet. Thanks…. We really need a sarcastic font don’t we?
Today’s issue on Non-Canon Awards is my interview of California Kat. You know the drill, Click the banner.
And as I was writing this, the nominations came out!! Thanks to all who nominated me, and/or voted me in! Look below for the ones I am up for!
Oh….My…. God!!!!! Van Gogh? Not one I ever expected to even be close to being in. And All I Want?!?!!? Thanks!!!! Edge made it, and it is new! I really didn’t expect that one at all for this year! Thanks!!! Especially for those that got me in as a wild card!!! Click below for the nominations for others.
No Lotr chapter today. Next week.
Remember what you guys are getting are the chapters that I have had written already and edited. My betas are instructed that their lives comes first, and my stories behind that. Behind everything else. They are awesome, and will let me know if they can’t beta anymore, but for the main part, they keep me updated on what is going on. For those wondering, here is where I am:
Revelations: All chapters sent to the beta.
Dying To Start Again: All but 2 chapters sent to the beta. Was working on this when I had to stop on the database, will pick it up when I am done.
Heavenly: All chapters to the beta.
Blood of Innocence: Found a chapter, will beta it when I am done with the database.
The Sun Holds the Moon: All chapters to beta.
Best is Yet to Come: I have the chapter and was working on it.
The Mummy (sequel): 2 chapters written, and the third started. For those that follow me on Facebook know I am fighting my computer for the Blu-ray player to work. Since I am watching a movie to get ideas, I need it.
You’re (sequel): Writing the ideas down, and I know what I want to do generally, just need some time to sit and write it, with the Muse willing.
Game of Life: All chapters to beta.
Tin Man: All chapters to beta.
I Never…Did: Will start going over it to fix some minor issues, then I will be writing it. After novel.
Learn to Live (sequel): Casting and thinking through the ideas the muse presented.
In The End: Every thing is out from what I have, will be first up to finish when I get done with the novel.
Picking Down Clocks: Will finish Editing when done with the database.
Edge: All chapters are out that are written. Will be working on this one when novel is done along with ITE.
Scars: Blocking it out in my journals.
When I Pretend: All chapters are out to you guys, I will be picking this back up when What If is done.
What If: All Chapters are out to the beta. Will be concentrating on finishing this one as soon as I can.
Cross The Line: Will be picking back up when the novel is done.
Never Changing: Will be finishing when novel is done.
Sacred: Finished chapter 18 last night, and am working when I need to get away from the database and the muse is screaming at me. This one is going to be large, but I am attempting to finish and no sequels…
That is all of them I think. I have been banned by MissAliceUnsub from the blogs for the database. I spent a full day on Meridian, and I got like 4 done. I suck… But give me FanFiction, and I get tons done in a day. So that is where I am concentrating, once done, I am moving to FictionPad and the rest. We will probably end up with over a 1,000. Seriously. MissAliceUnsub is freakign awesome, and she grabs all the stories for any author I have on my blog page.
So I am signing up as my Facebook is lighting up with the awesomeness of everyone finding out they were nominated.
Thanks again, I feel so honored to be nominated!!!
So everyone got the nominations are closing tomorrow right for the You Want Blood Awards, right? (if not, click on the banner above to be taken to the site to nominate. Put in I don’t read this in any spot you don’t have a nomination.)
And everyone is aware that we are going to have to go through all those nominations, and have to attack the internet to determine if they meet the rules… (If not, yes we do this. We go through each nomination and go to the sites to determine if they are valid.)
This takes ALOT of time. So to help streamline it, I have been working on that rec database. The stories from Fanfiction are finally in (not all of mine, I still have to add in all the rest from there of the different fandoms I follow).
There are so far 700+ stories in there. Again, not all TB/SVM. Some are crossovers. Some are from before I concentrated on TB/SVM. But alot of them are from MissAliceSub who is taking time out of her free time this week to help. She is starting at the bottom of the list. But it really takes alot of time. We copy all the story descriptions, the html for the specific stories, as well as determine who the pairings are, and if it is a one shot, or multi chaptered. If it is complete and when it was finished (for the contest) and when last updated (again for the contest). Also, fans want to know if the story is complete. I can’t keep up with updating when you guys update, that would be full time job! I already have one in writing. lol
It looks like when I am done, that this may actually be bigger than anyone of us thought it would be, so there are rumors of it being moved to a site to make searching for new stories to read much easier. I know the Twilight and the TB/SVM are very popular, but I am adding Harry Potter to the mix and we will see. But I am thinking there will be well over a 1,000 stories in this rec page. Once the story is complete, it will be up to the authors to have their stories (And yes it looks like you can also search by authors too on the new one, but again, I am only hearing rumors from the great one 4Padfoot!!!) updated besides the times we can go through and check. We will be happy to switch the focus of a story to another site if the authors let us know. Right now, where we find them is where we are putting them.
I know I go on and on about this, but you guys should see the stats I see on my pages, and you guys visit the rec pages alot.
TO help us out, for the TB/SVM side especially (since we are the ones that spread out across WordPress!) please contact me on filling out a spreadsheet. I know for me, it is easy peasy to add my stuff in, but for another to come in and check out the dates and so forth would not be so easy. Some people post identically on Fanfiction and other sites, some post on WordPress only, and yet others, like me, post on my site first.
So, please help us out, and help get the You Want Blood Awards out for voting by helping us out. Thanks…
Never really thought about it. The betas pick which days they want for their stories to be published. The only exceptions is Wednesday, which is Meridian’s day. And posting day. And also happens to be the start of my posting weeks… hmmm…
So.. How are you guys? Me? I am doing good. I worked on the database, and without what I was sent last night to upload (I haven’t got that far, spent some time recharging myself) I have 556 stories in there so far. Since I have a very far way to go in the Fanfiction side, yeah. I read too much. And this is not including my follows, which I need to get over there also. I do not remember the lady who is helping me with the blogs, but she rocks (I don’t want to blab her real name on this site. That is rude.)
I also wrote another chapter for Sacred last night and the muse let slip some more information. It is a E/S/G. Sorry for those that don’t like threesomes… But I honestly cannot see any other unless I bring in Bella. I am trying for I Never…Did. And I will make it work for that one. But… it just doesn’t feel right for my Godric and Eric.
I also finished Carol E. Stewart’s Preemptive Strike, and will be doing the review of that story here soon. I am on InLoveWithEric Precious Love. And when done with that I will be catching up on my fics, before I dive into another of her works. I am looking for something I remember, so I figure I would review to give these wonderful ladies a boost for their muses hopefully. Unfortunately it won’t be until July. But hey.. At least you will get something each week for sure!
Reviews really spark the muses. My muse is chomping at the bit, which is not making it easy for me to finish the database, but the good news, you might have a huge story with out a sequel by the time I am done. That and 4Padfoot and Royal Ember asking me questions as they pre read it. lol. See??!!?! Reviews!
So to all of you who at least even hit like, those help also! It tells us, hey I can’t think of anything to say, but I did like the chapter! But reviews, man. Often my muse starts nudging me, and I give her a look. “Database first. We need to finish this up, then the edits. I gave you Sacred to play with. After we finish those we have a book to write. Then you can go back to your fans. But just wait for that book, missy. We might get more fans and more stuff to feed you. And Mr. K will let up with the whole I do nothing all day teasing.” (yes it is teasing, and he makes sure I know that everyday!)
I am off to play referee with the dogs who keep fighting at my literal feet for attention, and the dang database. Then give the muse some freedom, then back again at work.
Don’t forget all the reminders I gave last night. (I will repeat them all tomorrow.)
I finally have the new chapter of the Lord of the Ring story up.
I warned you guys it would an every other week thing. I need to write more on this, and this is one I need to sit down and really look over to write. The idea of it is awesome. But, as one reader was kind enough to inform me, I had a bit of information wrong. I named Gladriel as Legolas’s Grandmother. Nope. Wrong family. Elrond was of her line. Duh!
But it is this that makes this one more tricky than most for me to read. There are huge family lines and so forth that Mr. Tolkien wove into his story telling. The movies didn’t help either since there was no way for Mr. Jackson to make a movie on everything in the books. The Fellowship of the Ring would have been three movies by itself!
On the other hand, I spent this past weekend and so far this week not feeling so well. And it is the hateful sort. I am mostly over it, but I am bored by reading, and have so much to do. And it is stationary. However, my stationary ends up being where I hardly move and that is not good either. I really need a laptop. One that will connect all the time to the internet. Then I can work on it, and feel much better on staying in bed and resting like I should. I am good the first couple of days. But it is now I am so bad, and what gets me in trouble. I get to where I want to do something. Anything.
I am so good about insisting on my betas get rest and not work, but for myself? Yeah. Not so good.
Luckily, the rest of this week is the betas telling me when to hit publish and write these out. Also one of the ladies is helping me out on the database. I am going to work on it for awhile. Though I am being begged for the next chapter of Sacred from the prereaders. One of them is having a really bad day, so we will see.
So reminders!
There is the Writing Contest for this month!
There is the YWBA nominations going on….
Then there are the Fanatic Fanfics nominations going on…
Don’t forget the Fanfiction Affliction neither, that is taking off.
I know I am forgetting some. I need to make lists for what to highlight in these posts. Here is the chapter for tonight:
Enjoy the chapter. Tomorrow is the Tin Man chapters. And remember we are in new territory for those that are not a beta. As for the pre-readers, well there is one. That is not tied in some way back to the site.
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough on my desk to look like I am working. I hate moving to a paperless environment. It is cleaner, but hell, there is nothing to look like I am working on things! (shh on the whole I am working at home, and this is my ‘job’!)
First up, the review over at Non-Canon Awards is Dying Heart. Please go read, and then read the story. I am hoping that if enough people feed her muse, that she can get back to this wonderful piece of art!
As always click on the banner. Next week will be California Kat.
I am writing up a bunch of reviews right now for that site, and when I finished the first one, WordPress decided that I really didn’t mean to write that. And since I did the main part between autosaves, well I basically have to start over.
Ugh.
Then after that I will be working on the Lotr Post for today.
I still have the database to work on, and to be truthful, it is beyond boring to work on. But… I will say miss 4Padfoot has a great idea on it. She is working on it in secret with little teasers to me. With what she is doing, the Crossover site is on pause, but then it was anyways until I get the database done.
This last week saw me put on my old Database maker hat, and it was a little dusty.. OK a lot dusty. But I managed to wrest it in partial shape, and I made a form, that will allow me to add authors and so forth so much easier. Which helps, since adding authors is not as easy as it should be, but to be truthful, the end results are beautiful. I have one form and can do everything with it. *sighs*. I know only another techy person would be like this.
So here is where we are. I need the sites, and I need to finish adding all of Fanfiction to the database. Well not ALL of it, but the rest of the 658 favorites. I will admit, this will take awhile for me to come back and go through my follows to see who all belongs to the favorites after this. If I didn’t have Sacred to turn to, I would be a gibbering idiot. Wait… I already am. dang.
Authors, I cannot help but ask again for your help. Seriously. I am getting burned out, but I want to finish this up, so when I turn to writing again, I will be caught up, and your stories will get lovings. Seriously. And we all want me back to writing right? I will say I am looking forward to getting the last of the edits out of the way and just writing what I feel like for a long period of time…….
And this means… a new Harry Potter chapter! (And I just noticed that the reflection doesn’t move……)
The reason for the Gif is: sorry I didn’t get this out last night, but I went to see the new Avengers. It was awesome!!! I was in the movie theater (which was an awesome crowd, they were so into it all. The Star Wars trailer let us know how much into they were, people were wooping and cheering with it!) when I got the alert it was ready, but I got home late, and I think I was burning to finish the chapter of Sacred. I did and then it was past midnight. Life was moving fast for me today.
Today I had the next chapter (For those keeping track, yep Chapter 9) in me, and pounded that thing out in a couple of hours, with dog interruptions. Murphy has understood the writing part yet. Connor is the writing dog. I seem to write every time he comes and lies at my feet. When I come ot a part I need to gather my thoughts, I pet him and they tumble out and there I go. Murphy is the I want something to eat, something to do, I need something!!!! Connor tries to guard me, but often he looks to me as, ‘Why did we get him? We could have left him outside.’ Don’t get me wrong, they play like crazy and close. But Murphy is all wanting out, now he knows that we won’t leave him out there. I truly can’t wait until we can get the dog door with the chip that will only let them out, not the cat. (And yes that is Connor sleeping on Murphy. they are very close…)
I am about to start chapter 10, and I have a new character who started out as a side, but my muse just turned and laughed at me. I tried to cast another guy as Alexi, but ended up with Joshua Jackson. Let me tell you, there is a reason I haven’t used this eye candy for awhile. I secretly rooted for him in Dawson’s Creek. I watched Fringe just for him. Mr. Kittyinaz got me to watch the Mighty Ducks because he found my secret rooting out. Bastard. I managed to escape some Disney franchise and he dragged me into it. And I have a bad feeling he might creep into I Never…Did. Why? Well….
Gyllene mentioned she was introduced to One Note because of me. I am using it alongside with the new story, and was building character profiles as things happen, and one of the things I was building was a wall of pictures with the relationships to each other. I chose these two pics, and they made me blink a few times with the similar features. Very few of my characters crossover stories, but I think Joshua may become one of them.
And yes, I use One Note. I have been using it for awhile to keep track of my pages, and what I need to do, since it syncs automatically across all my devices. I still write in my journals, since the manual writing makes me brief, and not writing the story in One Note. But now, all notes are in One Note. One of the big reasons is that it is like a white board, you post what you want, stick pictures on it, and it is as big as you need it to be per pages. And another? If you paste notes from the internet, it also adds the webpage for you to go back to that moment. *fist pumps*. So needed that.
I also do it so I can take pictures of my story notes, and put them on there for the betas to read the notes and make sure what I wrote out is still kinda following the idea. kinda. It allows MissRissa81 to make her notes and sync to the notebooks for it. And so forth. It is a way for my betas to keep up with me electronically, and since we are worldwide literally, it helps!!!
One Note is free, and I prefer it just because I am a Microsoft user for many years and it is more intuitive for me to use. Shoot I have tested beta versions of office. I forgot until the last time I booted my laptop and it reminded me to download the full version for free, and thanks for all the testing I did on Office 2007. Ouch. But since they are not forcing me to upgrade, I am kinda scared to. That version is much more smarter than my desktop Office 365! Though they did listen when I suggested for you to have a grey background on 365. (I know I must not be the only one but it was only a couple of weeks after I sent in the request that I got it!) I rather have black, but ah well.
I know I rambled everywhere. I have to admit, no one will see me tomorrow. It is my day off, and maybe Monday. We will find out Monday. LotR update is this Monday, so it maybe late, sorry. But I needed a rest, so badly after this past week of working on that dang database. It’s why I turned to writing last night and today. So much more relaxing and feeling accomplished.
There is chapter one teased in my Facebook Group of Sacred. Click above to go to the group. And it looks like this one will be entered into being edited when I am done with the database. I am going to keep up with this one, the ideas are flowing. Only when I am writing, Muses!
Don’t forget to put in your nominations. Per 4Padfoot:
If you don’t have a entry for that section please just put ‘I don’t read this group’ it will be the easiest for me to sort then then you can enter the ones that you do read for.
So put those nominations in and I hope that helps!
So enjoy the chapter for tonight. And I will enjoy working on my story. C-ya on the flip side.
And we have had a doozy of a month! (I thought the gif appropriate considering where I and many of the ladies I know will be watching tomorrow.)
I finished and published some new stories. You guys are now in the possession of the only chapters of Edge I had, and you started the Sun Holds the Moon. There are new chapters for Tin Man, and there are two more stories off to the beta, Game of Life and Dying to Start.
I started on the database. I currently have 496 stories in there. They are from Inuyasha, Alice, Alice in Wonderland, Once Upon a Time. AS well as the one I needed for the YWBAs, SVM/TB. And one lonely Twilight since one of my SVM/TB authors wrote it, and I put it in while I had it up. Last night I finished inputting all the Fanfiction stories from my favorites into the database. Thanks to some awesome authors who sent me their stories, we stand at 342 stories in my database. Yes. 342 stories, and I only got up through the e’s on the blogs. I am about to go tripping through the blogs I love next week to start inputting them.
As I mentioned before, if an author would like to be included or help out, from any fandom, contact me, and I will send you the spreadsheet. Otherwise, this is a lot of work, and since I am done with the easy one, (fanfiction) I have to go to each site, and go to your last chapter and see the date. That way if the story is complete, I can put the date in there. The date will come in handy for contests. For now, the crossovers and the YWBA’s will be the ones hit, but a lot of people seem to like to see how long ago something has been completed, or how long a current WIP has not been updated before they read. I don’t blame them, I like to know that too.
So if an author wishes to help, I will post all the stories you send me that you wrote. As a thank you. a huge thank you!! And for those of you in the SVM/TB world, I am noting who I have reviewed and not, so I can add that to the site. And to help me decide who needs to be reviewed next. Remember this is the same information that can be found on Fanfiction searching for a new story. In fact less, since I won’t do reviews and all that jazz.
I also did start a new fic, that I write on my times off. 4Padfoot was awesome and made a video prologue for it. Go check it out. It is freaking awesome. I am up to Chapter 7, and when I reach 10, I will be ready to edit and send off what I have to the beta. 10 seems a good number to let the muse flow and let me get the idea of what is going on…
Then there is this coming month.
The Non-Canon Awards will have some new authors soon. We have one more story for Mavrosal, and then I need to write a bunch of reviews for stories. I did find some one shots I didn’t read somehow on some of these stites, so I will be off to add them to the site. As well as the two big stories I have read (and reading) for me to review.
The Crossover site will be taking off once I am done with all these entries into the database. No sense in repeating myself, when I will be copying and placing these into the site from the same source. I also want to let the stories that I reviewed have a badge of some type. Maybe to have a little picture of the story? We will see. But with my interest being wrapped up in finishing this database, you better plan on me using it as much as possible to base some stuff out of!
Then there is the Writing Challenge for this month. The pic above will take you to the page with the rules and a better view of the pic. I had posted this as a share on my personal wall, and some of the ladies who are friends of mine commented that I need to use it for the writing contest. They were telling me all the ideas they got off it, so, I better see some stories! I can see many ideas myself.. Like a Supernatural (which cause I write Cross the Line and it has Supernatural it is allowed, see how this works?), The Vampire Diaries, the Originals, TB/SVM and so many more. So have fun with the ideas.
I am planning to be done with the database this month (Hopefully by the end of the week next week, but it all depends on how long it takes for the individual sites), so I will be working on the last of the edits then I will be working on the original fiction. For those of you who were Beta Readers, contact Rissa. You guys will see the posts for the readers to know when I am posting. These are raw works. No editing. Me writing, then posting for them to see. Once I am done, I will be hopefully continuing on to the next book. I will then go back and edit the books after the ladies get their comments in. Then comes the worse part for me, to send it out to my betas and get their input on what needs to be changed. After everyone agrees, that I have no spelling mistakes and so forth, I will start the process of trying to get someone to pick it up.
During this time, after the raw part is done, I will be back to finish the stories In The End and Edge. I want to also start on the other works but those two I will finish up. So you will get parts of other stories while I work on those ones.
I also want to work on Fanfiction Affliction to get my stories over there. If you haven’t visited it, I strongly encourage you! There is freedom of posting, and it’s always good to have alternatives. For those who were in Crossover haven, I will be sending out a post soon to you ladies.
Now will all this be done next month? No.
The You Want Blood Awards will be starting tomorrow, and once the nominations are in, we will be working to verify they fall inside the rules, as well as getting everything else ready. It really is more work that you guys will ever imagine. Shoot it was more than we thought it would be when we started! But it is so awesome to feel when we list the nominations and from there the feelings are even better. People are excited and so forth.
So that is my game plans. Hopefully it will all work out. I honestly can’t wait until I am done with the database stuff so I can move on to the part that I love, and you guys love. I have Dying to finish editing, Clocks,best and Some Sacred Place in Time to edit before I am back writing. So close…..
Enjoy your day, and for those in my group, you have until 9pm CST to get any banners in for the Banner Contest for the Group. Next month maybe we do a rehash of the banners that haven’t won and let you guys vote on them? I will talk with you on that!
So far today, I have had my hubby fix my blu-ray player for my computer. It seemed like it forgot it plays blu rays. Hard to watch stuff with it not working.. especially some pivotal spots for the new story.
And.. finally… we are on new Tin Man chapters!!!! My beta rocks so much it aint possible to explain all she does. She has taken it upon herself to really read it, to watch the movie and the original to make sure it all ties together. My other betas are on top of things, but for an older fic? Wow!
But then, there is a reason I call my betas the royalty of the betas. They seriously rock and astound me. They give up their free time to help…me! That alone would make them royalty. but they go far beyond that, and often help me out when I am struggling with stuff. They listen, and are a great group when we need to bounce ideas off each other.
Then there is the launch of the TB/SVM directory to help find you new authors as well as where your old favorites may be now. Yeah, alot of us left fanfiction when they started to hound us for the content of our stories. I have been posting the beginning of my stories, then telling them for more, they need to come here. Other authors were not that lucky, and got all their stories taken down along with their author page. A comment made in a facebook page led to this site being made. And did they pour in so much work!!! I need to drop by my page and update the new story (it was not even a gleam in my eye when I did that page!). I have also added my badge for you to use on the side of the posts/pages. I highly recommend that you go play around.
And the last thing is the database. Man, I will be thrilled when I am done with that. I much rather write. Some more ladies have helped me along with that. kjwrit sent me a list this morning, as well as one of the ladies in EricizMine’s group got me a list together of what was finished or what. THANKS!!! and MistressJessica1028, Gyllene and Queen of Area 5 has allowed me to post the spreadsheet in their groups. Thanks so much!!! I haven’t checked the email yet today for the kittyinazsbetas@gmail.com, but I will be soon before I turn to working on that. I did ChanelAddict yesterday, since I was waiting to see if anyone could help me with EricIzMine’s works.
I know I am harping on it, but once I am done with the TB/SVM I will be doing the rest of the fandoms I read. The long run will be easier, and if I was truthful, to do all this the first time is hard. (I am adding other sites and the stories from other blogs) I am not even on what is on the pages yet, I am working off the YWBA’s list from last year. The full list, that didn’t have enough information for us to use it and so forth. If it was on the list, I am using the author’s name to see what fics there are out there.
Normally when we try to update, we pull out the favorites from FF, and after that is done, we are wiped. This way, will cut out a lot of the work, only using the fics I am adding to it from now on. And if I am smart, (which I really will be for the websites) I will add as I go. I also will maybe have a form for you guys to offer suggestions once it is done. Right now, I am adding mine, and I will look into it in the future. There are alot of fics!!!
So enjoy this chapter, I may have another later today, I am not sure. Tomorrow will be an update day for the other sites, and nothing new here. I will drop that off. I am very committed to giving the readers here a boost in my stories than other places. It gives you an incentive to visit and I love looking at all the wonderful visits on the site.
Don’t forget to visit the new directory!! Click as always on the badge, and it will take you to the site.
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…
