This is a post to tell you I am going on a mini vacation. That lasts this weekend. At least. I am not posting, in fact the betas and the Web Admin can post, but not me. Starting when this goes out, I am gone. If you need me, please contact the betas. They know how to get hold of me.
Mr. Kittyinaz has enforced this, thinking I am stressing too much. His solution? A weekend away from anything fanfic, with the option to extend the time if he feels it is needed, will get me working faster for it. He is bribing me with something I love, he bought the new Final Fantasy to do this. Well, I found out he has planned this for weeks, and putting money down on it. He is a keeper!
And yes, I am a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series, and I have not actually touched a game since I started fanfic. He realized this the other day, and now he is going to remind me of other things than FanFiction to have fun doing. And since I usually pull a period of playing everything from VIII on… every single year, yeah oops. (VII drives me nuts with the graphics, and I don’t even think I can play VII or IX any more… *Sad Panda*)
To be honest, I didn’t realize I had not touched anything else since then, nothing that doesn’t deal with FanFiction in some way. Even my banner making skills is for FanFiction. Huh. My husband right? Please let it not be so!!!! He will be insufferable!
4Padfoot has gotten more of the pages up, and so you can view through the goodies. Which reminded me I still need to do an interview. Yeah. The more I think on it, I need to run away for a couple of days. I did more work when I was in Tucson, and most of that was because I was doing things every day that had nothing to do with FanFiction. Ah well. IT happens to me a lot.
So enjoy the site. When I get back, I will be loading up the new Tin Man, And hopefully the banners will be all done, or I will need to make 7 more for 4Padfoot. She is off making some changes to the Golden Reads, so don’t miss that site either!!!
4Padfoot is freaking awesome. I can’t think of a better word!!! Above are some of the screenshots of the site now…
We changed the theme, and what she has done with the site is beyond amazing. And what I have seen I can do with the pages and so on? OMG.
Yes, the site is different, more interactive. We are still working on it, and there are a few hiccups that happened when it went live, but 4Padfoot says she can do the rest of it now behind the scenes. It may be a tad slow if you hit something she is working on, but the pages will load.
Some things to point out, is that the top slider, is of current Chapters being published. Yeah… it’s awesome!
Now, we know there are going to be broken links and so forth, and we beg of you to tell us. There is just no way to test all the pages, and all the links there are. I’m just too big now. Not bragging or nothing, but the combinations for us to try to test? I guarantee even if we do a complete dry run and find nothing, there will be something now we are live. In fact I found one by accident. And I promise you, it was not there when 4Padfoot and I tested it.
The site is very responsive to what you are using. What I see is different than others, because of platforms, size of monitors, medium. I know it looks awesome on the iPad, and on my screen, but feel free to tell us if you have a platform something looks ways off. I will say to get the full effect of the site, to try it on a laptop/desktop.
4Padfoot has truly outdone herself, and I am soo proud of this site. And the options we have to further make it more personalized, is limitless.
Some things to realize from the start. Yes, there is a button to enter the site from now on. I don’t want anyone saying I didn’t put a warning on the site. It is a M+ Site. Stories are in full format here. If you are not old enough to read them, well you shouldn’t be here. I see no reason to censor myself. Not on my own site.
The menus are full page, and they are interactive. Things are going to move. Buttons are going to appear. Since I know my iPad is very picky, I have tested all sites on there. I could not use a couple friends websites due to how heavy the graphics needed, and that was not an issue for here. The story pages right now are the same, but don’t expect it to remain the same. There is so many options that we can to the next and so forth buttons now, that they may change.
It may take a few longer seconds to load, but we are still working on everything, adding and tweaking. All in all, I am thrilled that this is my new page. The options I have, including for Posts, are unreal. Expect me to play with those as I go. You shouldn’t be surprised, Kittyinaz playing with things? I point to The Mummy/Twilight crossover…
So please, explore, enjoy the site, and give us feedback! There is even somewhere a form I saw on one of the pages that makes it easier to contact us!
And come back to see what else changes over time, I was slack jawed and allowing all sorts of flies as I saw what 4Padfoot was doing!!!! I’m excited to be showing you the same things!
The site is going down… I repeat the site is going down!!!
We are switching a few things around, and need to pull the site down. It will be down for a day or two. I’m sorry, but these are fixings that need to be done to make all of us happier. The site will flicker and be slow until the change is made, but 4Padfoot says you can still access the pages, just be patient, and if you can’t it might be we are working on the page, or it is a feature we are messing with.
Thanks for your patience. As soon as it is done, we will let you know. If you want a prelook, 4padFoot tested the site out as her site.
Ok I may have watched a little too much Vine lately, and got that saying, I got Baking Soda in my head… I’m trying to use Imagine Dragons to get it out… but it aint working!
So what’s up Kitty? I have the Results of the February Writing Challenge!!! I am shocked at who won, and placed!!! We got 3 places this time. Below are the three winners, and you can click here to go to the page. Authors, you can now reply to your comments. Great job everyone!
Don’t forget, we have the March contest going on, based on the song I Feel Again by OneRepublic. I love this song so much, and hope you guys can get some ideas. I have the opposite issues. I have too many ideas.
Also, I am nominated for the following Non-Canon Awards in the Judge Section!!! Please go vote, our lovely beta’s Bertie Botts and Mommy4Thomas. Bertie is in the Judges section with me, and Mommy4Thomas is in the Underdogs. Our lovely Web Admin 4Padfoot is up for best Banner and Video. There are some other ladies, bexie25 who entered and won this last month’s contest, as well as Harley and Cuinawen. Spudzmon is also in there. Please vote, it means a lot to everyone to be nominated, but to place is a great feeling also! ( I didn’t get to grab everyone’s nomination banners, but for those that want them go here.) (see what I did there? Every word Vote is a link….)
So what am I getting ready to do? Hopefully grab some lunch, then work on the Revelations. I think I am done with everything else. At least there is nothing on my list. I got bullied by Mr. Kittyinaz to get my ankle up, and probably get the same thing tonight. I love the man, but he gets mulish when he thinks I push too hard. I’m settling on my iTunes, if Spotify won’t turn on, and hit shuffle to work through things.
Also, go check out Golden Reads, they got a facelift!!! It looks awesome, and they truly are great on working on the book reviews. I suck at it, I haven’t done all I can doing the non-canon awards, but I am trying!!! ohhh I remember I need to do Make A Wish for the site!
So enjoy the day, here in Texas there is pseudo sun. It is bright, but fog is the name of the game. Yes, we can have sea fog all day long. In the middle of the afternoon, you can barely see 3 feet in front of you. Fun isn’t it? I’m off to work!
Yeah, this song has me dancing in my seat, and I figured why not? I should share the love with you and get some blood going through for the rest of the morning! (Personally I love the 3rd wheel couple!)
It’s time for the chapter of AIW for today!!! (more…)
