First post of the new Site!

YEAH!!!!! We have moved!! Completely. If you find this on Facebook, but didn’t get an email, you need to sign on and subscribe. The place to sign on is right under the banners on the front page. You enter your email, and you will receive a are you sure email.

So welcome to the site! We are excited by all the opportunities that are available to us. Expect things to pop up, like ads. That WE made. Gone will be the Amazon page. There will be ads instead of them. Think of it this way, instead of WordPress getting the benefit of showing ads to pay for their site, we are going to do it ourselves. I will see if we can add more, and if you want to advertise, you can contact us and we will see what we can do. (God I love doing this knowing it will be for the benefit of us and our fans!)

So… there are 2 updates today! After this we will be going back to our scheduled postings. But Sunday was a wash since that is the day we started the move, and today saw the transfer of the subscribers. (Many thanks to the Happiness Engineers at WordPress.com Especially Denise who was the one who did the transfer for us!)

First update:

Yes. Your eyes are not deceiving you! All I Want update! Many thanks to Mknue for her work on this!! Even with transfers, confusion on which site she was on, she pushed through it all and made sure this chapter was ready for you guys!!! We will be aiming for the updates on Monday for this again!

Good news, This story is completely edited and sent on to the beta. Bad news, she has a life people! I know shocking, betas and writers having real lives? What the hell!?!?!?!? Seriously, we work for free. Also, even if we didn’t I would impress on my employees real life comes first. (Yes, I would be an awesome boss, unless you take advantage of me. Then I will come down like the fires of Hell. But I am generally a nice person…

I will say that I just read through this story and added words to replace the ones I missed. Considering that is all that keeps happening when I worked on this one, it ended up perfect. Hopefully you will enjoy this story as much as I did writing it a year ago, and then reading it the many times since then…

Second Update:

YES!!! Another I Never…Did chapter, brought by the wonderful, awesome Meridean! She also worked with mixed up sites and so forth. Truly, all my betas are awesome, and these two showed up and worked through the trials of wondering what site was what. And then, when we banned them all from the old site to make it easier to tell, they both came and checked that their changes were to the right chapters.

I was fully prepared to tell you guys, that this will be delayed due to this, and instead these two lovely ladies worked through it.

I also wish to give Huge kudos to 4Padfoot, for managing to make the move in two days, and we were actually waiting on others for the last parts. Also to Gyllene, who worked with 4Padfoot and the rest of the betas when a hiccup was found late on Sunday. We actually had to reload the picstures on the site, and replace the old ones. I will admit, there are size differences, and we will try to fix, but to be frank, unless someone tells us, there is no way to know… I had one of the biggest sites that robin transferred so far. And if you work with computers, something always go wrong. It is the nature of the beast.

So yes, I expect there to be hiccups as we discover what we can and cannot do. The layout may change if we find this theme has a hiccup that we can’t work with. Or won’t allow a app to work on it. We scrapped the old one, because when some of the ladies in the group told us the header was too big. At the time, we hadn’t looked on phones or anything really besides computers trying to fix issues. So when they told us this, we listened and fixed.

Communication is the important thing. We can’t know issues, unless you tell us. Some things look weird to us (Like for me all the full size pictures are WEIRD. But when I test them on the pages, they are fine. Go figure that one out.)

All in all, I am freaking excited!!!

So what have I been working on? Well, we moved the Anthem of Angels off the original site, and to it’s own. With it being self hosted, we didn’t want to open up the site the way we were finding we were needing to for the universe. People are excited about it, and frankly so am I! But it was becoming evident, that the interest generated was more than the few who had access to the back end side, to work on it. Click on the banner above. Please remember, I am trying to link all the pages myself. They were linked before, but the move took out those links. I have the stories linked, and most of the Bestiary. A lot of the Bios are still needed to be made, so it is a slow process, but we are working on it.

Last Friday had the chapter 1 of my story in this universe posted. Please click and follow us over there!

We have things happening in our lives, like for me, I am ending up spending a lot of my weekends with family and especially my grandmother. Health issues are arising, and I really want to spend time with her. Right now, they are not serious, but I have found out, that things can change for the worse in days. 2 years of this experience has taught me well. I am tired of losing loved ones. So I am spending time getting Grandma Kitty (As my betas call her and really any of he family) out of the house, which leaves less time for me. I am also spending time with the family. however, since I am finishing stories, this is not really hurting anything.

I am still banned from Facebook groups. I REALLY miss being in the groups. You have no IDEA how many things I am involved in until I cannot comment at all. Rissa is a saint, as well as Naima for doing my normal job of spreading the stories in the fandoms needed. So many thanks to everyone for their patience in this hiccup in Facebook.

I am getting the Wisdom, Justice and Love ready for Bertie Bott. I am finding I am not happy where I left it on the end of the Wisdom side, so I may write a chapter or two to transition it easier to the Justice side. This story surrounds Points of Authority.

After that it will be the Mummy crossover, and then the one shot, and from there, it will be publishing what I have written on the others. Group has spoken out, that as much as they hate waiting on the updates, they want the full chapters to what I have teased out. Mentioning I am cruel and so on worked as well as much begging and bribes. (Tim Tams are awesome!! I even have determined my favorites!)

So much going on, and so much to do. Edge WILL be worked on soon. AS soon as I am done sending out all these chapters to the Betas, I will be working on my novel for publication. Then I will work on the other stories. I made a promise, and I have family members asking and taking an interest in it. It makes more motivation!

So enjoy the chapters, know more is coming, and more stories. Hopefully I will be able to get it all out and get you more IND chapters also!!!!

A Post? What is this?

by Kittyinaz | Oct 18, 2014 | Update

Yeah I suck.

Ok here is what is going on. We are moving. Due to some information found out, I rather not take a chance, and will be moving to a self hosting site that is STILL WordPress. Ms 4Padfoot has informed me that we can transfer my followers and so on over to my new site, so there will be that.

Because of this happening, this site will be temporarily unavailable. Before we do the actual move, we will let you guys know. It will still be Kittyinaz.(something), just will be a difference in the layout and so forth for you guys, for us, well it will highly different.

Another thing is we are moving the Anthem of the Angels to it’s own site. Since it does not have anything to really do with the reason I may need to move, there is nothing wrong with it being on normal WordPress. However, as we move the site around, we of course are going through issues. We are working through them, and I do have the next chapter of Cross the Line ready to go. It’s just missing some very important lines. Once we get this fixed.. one way or the other, it will be posted.

Now some happy news:

IND – What I have written is all edited and sent off to the beta. There is only three chapters, but I am hoping that I can finish up everything I have planned in the next three weeks to get the next chapters written for you guys.
AIW – I am in the middle of Chapter 23 of edits, and since this is a 25 chapter story, this should tell you how close I am in getting this done. All chapters up to this have been sent to the Beta. I also (before my Photoshop messed me up) managed to get the chapter banners for the chapters up to 11 done. I also am asking some pretty big favors, but you will understand when you read the chapters. It is awesome.
I have Wisdom, the prequel for Points of Authority next to do after this, and will continue the list as follows: Mummy, What if, A one shot I am calling Austin, then editing what I have of Clocks, Game of life and others the ladies in my group have asked for, as well as the first couple chapters of Heavenly.
When Done, I hope to churn out some IND, then move off to work on my original fiction.
I have changed how I am doing things.. again. I edit, which is normally adding a couple thousand words, but this process is taking too long. So I am pushing my envelope some more, and am only adding back the missing words, and any clarifying sentences needed. What does this mean for you guys? Chapters being written, looked over and then sent to the betas, AS I WRITE THEM. This will change things, since I normally agonize over each and every word, before I send it over to the betas. However, I find myself reading my stories instead of editing, so I figure if they grab my attention that much, I am doing something right.

So you will be getting a slew of updates, one week apart as usual. The way we set up the stories is that betas normally have a story or two that they are in charge of. The difference will be my original stories since I am going to be having the betas all look over it before I send it out to try to get it published. However, we have some crossovers happening. I am venturing out further and further from the norms, and exploring new crossovers. Because of this, I am needing betas who know Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter world and so on. Shoot I lucked out with Bertie Bott. She does Supernatural and Harry Potter so she works for Cross The Line. If you will like to become a beta, you need to join my group, and contact Meridian. I do all my conversations on Beta stuff online in Facebook. So you need to be there for me to work with you. There is a mentoring process and like I said, the way I do things is changing so my betas are about to be given a bunch of new work. And as I move forward in finishing stories, I seem to add a couple new ones as I finish the favorites. Typical of me.

Also, the Amazon link, will be very important since we are moving to a self hosted site. I am going to be incurring a large price to myself to do this, and once again, my hubby is forking over the cash. The money I get from Amazon is not a lot, 4-6% of the item you buy, but it adds up. it costs nothing to you guys, and it can mean a lot to us. So please. While you shop on Amazon, please go to the site through the link that will give me credit. Even you looking at stuff can help me out when someone else purchases it, since it registers all that.

So look forward to the changes, and once we get everything ready, we will let you guys know. It will take a few days, so please be patient as we, on our end scream at the computers, and pull our hair out. I personally threaten screwdrivers, but I am not sure what to threaten the internet with.
