I know you guys are waiting on this, so without much more ado, I would like to congratulate:
1st place goes to WorldTravelGirl who wrote Reinkarnasjonen!
2nd Place goes to LightK for Sands of Time!
This one was a close one for the 2nd place. I congratulate everyone on submitting an entry. I loved the stories and was thrilled to be able to apply some of the new techniques I learned through my classroom in a book.
I really need to finish that!!
That is it for this contest. But I wanted to remind you that Bertie Bott’s Contest submissions are owed on Monday at Midnight PST.
Then after that one, there is the new one for here!
I am off to work on the end of my submission for Bertie’s Contest.
Congratulations to all who worked and submitted stories, you are more than free to grab your banners, reply to your comments and post where you want. If you only post on Fanfiction, contact me and I will make the banner for your story there.
I figure what better way to see if all my connections to Facebook, tumblr, twitter and Google were all working again by making a post on the next contest.
Yes, this is late, but you will find out later what is going on.
For now….
This is the next contest. The banner is also a link to the page for the rules.
Basically, this contest is to be inspired by either the name or the pictures. And I warn you, I did have fun hiding things in the banner. Not everything is what you see at first glance….
I hope to get some entries in this one. And yes, there is a Participation Banner, it is in the page listed.
The contest entries are to be in no later than August 31st, 2016. That should give everyone time to finish up their entries into the Bertie Bott’s Superhero Contest!
Seriously people, give some serious love to those who are brave souls and submitted stories. That first story or submitting one to a contest is hard! I know! I am working on a contest piece, and it ain’t easy to do!
So click on the banner above, and go give some love to these brave souls who sent their work in and vote!
Also, not to brag, but there are some new techniques I used for the banners, so go enjoy the work I put out for these amazing individuals. I hope they like them, and look forward to seeing in a few days what they have for us….
I will admit, that the next contest is set to kick off here shortly. I made the banner, and I may say it is also one of my favorites. I will give you a teaser of the new banner. And, don’t take the first impressions as the ones I had in mind. There are all types of hints in it that you may see only when it is larger.
Though, the banner is hidden in a conversation I had with someone in my group…..
So vote, and on the 15th, I will be publishing the new contest. Since I am working on an entry for the Bertie’s Botts Every Flavour Superhero Fest, I am pushing those due dates to the end of August. It should give you time to have fun with her contest. (for more information, please click on her banner, it will take you to the contest page!)
See ya later!!! (I’m in a writing haze, so I am not thinking of anything but getting this thing out. Once it is done, I will back to our normal schedule of me working to get you new chapters each week. Sorry, but I want to finish this!!!!)
I had trouble with a banner, then I realized Simple is not always wrong. The picture appeared and the banner was made to it.
I had a lot of fun with this contest. I loved the entries, as well as enjoyed playing with ideas in my head for the banners. The lessons I started helped a lot, and I am eager to back to them for more ideas on how I can keep improving my banner making. Centuries of Mirrors is one that used a lot of new techniques to me to show the different ‘Mirrors’.
So I am going to do what I said before, I am entering Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Superhero Fest. I am doing a superhero fic!!!!! I highly encourage you to enter she is an excellent writer and the entries into her contest are always interesting!!! I often find new people to read as well as new stories to entertain. I just hope my story entertains others and it fits the criteria!
The next writing contest for me with be ready on the fifteenth. I will give you a sneak peak, it is called Angels and Outlaws. I found the saying on IMDB for one of their lists, and the idea will not leave me alone.
I am working on ITE steadily. It is much harder to sit down and make myself work on one story, and my muse is being extremely mean and introducing new stories. I am being good, writing them out in journals (which by the way, I love the new Volants by Moleskine! They allow you to tear out pages. Before they were all bound together, but now they perforated then and it makes things much easier!).
I will be going back to work, encouraging you to read, comment and vote on the stories. The authors CANNOT reply until the contest ends on the 15th, but after midnight CST, the authors will be free to answer back.
Enjoy, and next week I will have another chapter to send you. This week has slayed me, and I rather not cheat you guys. Who knows, I am getting where I feel I can just maybe release a chapter of ITE….. Maybe.
Seriously, this stuff gotta end, but there is not much hope of that.
The good news? The title is the name of the new Revelations chapter. Not is the song that it came from one of my favorites, it also made imagery come alive, making this chapter one of my favorites.
Now the bad news? One, the pics I originally had for this are as lost as the bathroom one for Teashop. I looked, but nada. I can’t even remember how I found them, but they were of a balcony looking over the city, but you really didn’t see any city details. And it was a railing as if made out of wood, but stone. Think Rivendell for the interior of the Kingdom of Knights. Then add in some nice stonework to support everything, and you have it.
The other bad news is the insomnia, being sick and so on is hitting me and has been hitting hard. Part of it is the heat. According to the people who do the warranty, our AC is fine. To us? 80+ degrees in the house is too hot. But because it is under the 20 degrees under the heat index, it is fine. Yeah… No. Along with this is the fact I feel like crap, so I don’t want to get out of bed most days. The other is that I want to kill animals since they decide that 8 am (after I go to bed a 5am) is a great time to come meowing, or commence barking under the house. Right underneath my bedroom in fact.
But I did learn some stuff and found out new features on my Photoshop to help with pics. I am nowhere done, but I am working on it.
I did come up with a new idea for the writing challenge. Thank you IMDB for a name of a set of photos. It made it all work.
I received the files, and there are some really awesome stories. I will be working on them tonight, hopefully if my body agrees.
Though, I have found out I suck at first person shooter games. My hubby can tell you how I killed 5 people to his 25. In fact, I personally killed him 1 time. After the second time, he shot up my backup. Seems I cannot control the aiming thing very well.
Ok not at all.
I’ll stick to my RPG games thanks.
So here is the chapter, hope you enjoy it. I am going to try to eat, and see if I can take a nap or something so I can work tonight.
