Ok, I am not at the annoying computer that hates me. First it erases my scenery folder that contains thousands of backgrounds that I use to start banners.
I got that back.
Then after I finished one banner for an entry to the writing contest, and halfway through the next one the thing froze.
I know why, too much stuff being download from all the files that had been erased being reinstalled.
Now, no internet.
And then it has the nerve of telling me that it can’t do anything that I was asked by since it cannot connect to the Internet.
Really, you don’t say?!?!?!?!
So I am on the iPad, and no idea what the link to the newest Edge chapter is, but it is updated on the top sliding banner.
As always, the ladies had it, Monday?
And since nothing is working for me, and we have a cousin I never met coming in, I am spending time trying to get a room ready for them, as well as dealing with the demolition of the house next door (that the freaking trucks are louder than the actual demolition). They are only half done, but we had bad storms today. So they took away the full bins and I have no idea if they brought new ones.
To be blunt, I’m miserable. So I’m going to rob ably not on much in the next two to three weeks.
So enjoy the chapter, and if I get another chapter from the betas, I’ll release it.
Since I didn’t get a post out for you to read on… I will unearth this story that is a multi-chapter story for TB. Most of you missed the post about it, since I posted it in it’s entirety instead of posting one a week. Which I may not do again since it makes it harder for you guys to find them then.
Description: A rock is thrown from the far past. A future with a child is given up, a death is not as it seems. Everything is going to change. Or else the end of all is going to come. Gift for Natsgrl1. E/S
This story was written for the Fanfic Exchange by Queen of Area 5. Who was wonderful with giving me the extra time to finish it. I wrote 27 chapters, edited and sent them to her after my beta, Christine jumped in and did the impossible. It went over the 30 days, partly cause I couldn’t come up with an idea no matter how much I tried.
Then I saw a picture of Cam, and the whole story fell into my head with him replacing the actor who played Warlow. It has aspects of Doctor Who in it, (for those that love the 10th doctor, you might recognize the parts) But if you don’t know, I cover it enough not to leave you hanging. Just a little extra something, something for you. Also, those who read the Deathstalker series by Simon R. Green, there is a hint in there about the books. I think I even stole a little bit from the Inheritance Sage by David Webber.
What can I say, it became a story that I could engage in my mindscape and not worry about anything. And before anyone gets upset, there are hints of religion in it, but I treat it a lot like Supernatural treats religion. It’s a story device; it says nothing on what I believe in. But it helps tie this story altogether in a neat little bow.
It has action, other worlds, fairies, demons, vampires, other creatures. I pull from all over, there is an Inuyokai from Inuyasha, Assassins from Assasins Creed, Ents from LotR, Nightmares from the Piers Anthony Xanth series, Dragons (A kind like the Dragons of Pern), Phoenix, Gods and Goddesses, Centaurs, Griffon, Kitsune, Unicorns, Pegasus, I even borrowed Jarvis from Iron Man.
So have fun reading it, click on the banner above to be taken to the beginning. I will recommend you reading it here, only because it is rich with pics here. It is rated M, and I hope you enjoy it.
Now I am off to work on making sure my stories are on the other sites, and to see about getting things done without stressing about trying to get enough time to do it all. Cause cleaning and linking, and checking stories lists on other sites are not easy to do when all you are thinking is that you need to be in photoshop. I have an order… and it was messing with the feng shui of my mindscape. *snickering*
Enjoy the story, if I get enough interest in it, maybe I will do sequels, one shots and so on on it.
Sorry everyone, Saturday I learned a valuable lesson. It is called, do not take a probiotic pill AFTER you eat. It hurts. Alot. (Just remember, I have a sensitive tummy, so it can not affect others the same way.)
Sunday was spent with the family, and Monday I was feeling bad.
Just to be clear, no one knows what is wrong with my stomach. The pain I suffer from is there, you can watch my body register the pain, but to find out what is causing it? No one knows. And it may sound stupid to realize it, but my depression ebbs and flows due to the pain. Imagine that.
I was up for a short amount of time finishing moving over ED to Better in Texas. And went down after I finished it. I also have RL coming in mucking things about. WE have a house beside us that has been damaged by Ike, and the owners abandoned it. It’s not only an eyesore, But it has caught on fire and the a hail storm broke the water lines that I had to find to turn off manually. It’s a house with a detached garage with an apartment over it. And the garage is where all this damage has been. Now the garage in the last week has shifted from leaning towards my house, and then the other house. 4 times, someone has pictures of it doing so. So they are knocking it down next week.
During all this, there is a trailer behind us M and I were remodeling but Ike broke the bottom support into two pieces. Due to it being cause of Ike, the county let us know there is still unclaimed money from federal for Ike, and if you qualify, they will pay to demolish any structures on your land. We qualified and with the demolishing of the house next to us, they came for the bidding process at 8 this morning. Also to inform me basically, no sleep for me next week. Yeah…….
The trailer will be about a month to get rid of it. Yeah!!!!
Also, M got me my month and a half early anniversary gift. I finally got the iPad. a Mini. I think he got tired of me complaining that I couldn’t get rid of all the emails since I didn’t want to read them on the computer. I spent yesterday setting up the thing, since according to it, my upgraded IOS, was too old for using on the new stuff. I ended up banging my head against Tucker, (Who thought I was head butting him, so he would purr at me for doing it) I finally got the thing working.
And I was thrilled to be able to play games, I lost my dream notes that I had on the old iPad, but at least I have it updating to the cloud now, where my old one refused to. (must have been one of those too old things…) And Now I have the pen synced to it, so I can go back to waking up, writing those details down, and then go back to sleep. Cause there are some awesome dreams coming about!!! I have had a Tom Hiddles one, a Winchester one and two Damon ones.
So tonight, I am still exhausted from 3 hours of sleep today. I went online to check things, and tomorrow I will try to get the challenges up, (which I read on my new iPad and wow!!!) as well as the banners for the Edge chapter I have ready.
Sorry everyone. But to those out there that message me, thank you. Often you ladies are the ones who get me out of bed. You know who you are, and you are freaking awesome!
P.S. – WE think we have everything fixed. But if you find a link not working, please tell us. Often we work on the backend of the site, and don’t mess with the front except to look at a page and see if it posted right. 4Padfoot went through and fixed the last links I found….
I’ve been telling people for awhile to go watch the video for Sacred for over a month. The reason for this… is that last yesterday I published the first written chapter of this story. And as usual, I leaked it to the Facebook Group.
Why? Because they go the extra little to be a member, and also since they are the one cheering me on when I am down, I like to give them thanks. Seriously, right now the ladies have been trying to figure gifs for me to separate into seasons of True Blood for Alex. (out of a couple hundred we are down to four. Yes… FOUR!) Which that started out because of Chapter 1 of Sacred. I was looking for specific gifs, and found it too hard to find what I am looking for since I had all the gifs for Alex jumbled together.
And for those that know me… That is a huge no-no! I’ve been sorting pics into more folders as time has gone by. Alex’s regular pics are separated now into headshots, upper body and full body. Leighton Meester is the same. Allan Hyde will be next since his are starting to bug me also. Also Damon’s are pretty big files also. And for me, if I can’t place my hands on something quickly, it is time to organize.
I do so much organizing in fact when my mom wants her office to be organized she asks me to come in. I come in while she is working, observing how her current office works, and then last weekend M and I went up with her and redid her office. Again. Yes, I did in fact, did that last year, but circumstances change as they often do, and it caused a need for her to face her door now. Which of course disrupts her entire workplace so she wanted another one just as efficient as the past one. Luckily, this time ,we just had to reorganize it, not the outer offices. Which would have been a lost cause. And she purposely doesn’t allow me into her bosses office, who is an engineer. In other words, he has LAYERS of paper hazardly scattered over every surface including the floor. OMG. My hands twitch at the mess.
At least, before I came in she stayed late to file in her office before I moved a single thing.
Because of the need to organize, you may notice some changes to the main page. I cleaned up the current chapter banners to make them match. I also moved some stories around on the bottom, to allow for the missing one, as well as adding all the new banners. 4Padfoot is more than awesome at all this, but sometimes, RL just gets in the way and we forget that something needs to be updated. Oops. So I sat down and went through it all, added new betas, updated what betas are doing what now. I left the older betas there since they did help me out when I needed it, and hey free advertising for them!
Now we don’t see anything wrong with the Main Page, but feel free to tell us if you notice something wrong. Since 4Padfoot is working on the site this weekend. And let us know about the Goodies page. We already know links are broken there, but please tell us what you see so we can make sure nothing is missed. Anything at all you notice on the site that is not working, needs updated and so on. We try, but hey life happens.
Also, if you haven’t noticed this past week I have become very active online. I had been tired, trying to spend time with the family, and then trying to sleep normally. I was feeling drained. The I bought some probiotics that have other stuff in them, as well as talking to M about how I can’t do what I have been doing since I feel worn out.
The result?
I now sleep when he leaves for work until 1-2pm in the afternoon, which is right around 8 hours. I get alot of work done during those times, there is no one awake here, and even the pets are sleeping mostly. Also in conjunction to all of this, I am taking the pills. Talk about energy boost!! They make it where you get energy from what you eat from digesting your food better. I also make sure I eat three times a day, and rarely snack anymore.
Now the pills I am taking are expensive, and are a specific brand and they don’t work for everyone. However, I was slumping towards becoming as sick as I was when I was working. I figured since all the side effects are what I am suffering now, what could it hurt? For me, this works awesomely. It could have a negative side effect on my anti-depressants, but the boost of energy makes me a happy person often. So it works out for me.
How does this affect you guys? This past week, I worked on Sacred Chapter (finished) LOTR chapter (sent to beta and the chapter is set up all ready to go) and Edge Chapter (sent to the beta and returned, I just need to make banners for it.) I also am going through all the sites I publish in and updating them with either banners or uploading stories to them. I also worked on the site itself extensively and updated banners for it. I smooshed all the Alice One Shots into one slider. I also made a banner for my one Twilight OS story. I also made the completed page for easier finding of what is done and when.
Today I am finishing up the other sites, then working on banners for the aforementioned stories and the writing challenge. I will be publishing some of the Revelations chapters as well. Tomorrow? I will not be working on the sites or anything Fanfiction. It will be time to read, to catch up on other things and spend time with family. And if I get bored, then I can come in and play games. But I need to take a break.
What am I aiming for? To make it where I can write all those stories you guys keep asking for. I WANT to finish stuff, but I need time without having people asking for updates. Sacred has 30 chapters written to it already. I will not be updating this every week until I run out of other stuff to update. I will dribble it out, then when I do have only it left, I will publish each week. That way I can have at least 30 weeks to write new stuff for you guys.
So, go on to read, and we will see what all I will be publishing on Monday and what can be published for you sooner.
Also, when I go to make banners for the chapters, I try to find a theme behind them. For instance, ED was Roads, Edge is Dirt Roads. Crossing the Line is Trains, LOTR is Middle Earth, Crossing the Fine Line was Space, and so on. Surfergirl11 inspired me in Sacred with her banner, but when I went to make the banners for the chapters, I couldn’t replicate her work. So I changed the banner and picked Fire and Water (aka Lava and water). My OCD makes me want everything to match. So here is her original banner, which I give credits to on the homepage of the story. Which also contains a link to her other banners she has out for adoption. They are amazing!
