This is it, folks. You have 9 hours to get those entries in unless you have talked to me about an extension. And you still even have time to contact me about them! And don’t forget to pick up your Participation Banner!!! It’s in the page, that is linked to the above banner.
Also… Once those entries are in, you have limited time on the site…
See we are doing what I suggested before… We are moving hosts. We had Blue Host but got insider information, so our wonderful Robin aka 4Padfoot went out and has snagged us a shiny new host. I am going to make sure all the other sites are updated to not make it where you have any interruptions in reading. I am on: Better In Texas, FictionPad, A03, TWCS, Fanfiction Affliction and Fanfiction (but not really). My name is the same on every site.
What does this mean? This means Thursday night, the site will go down as we move the site over to the new host. I say we, but it is really Robin who will be doing it. I will assist her in any way I can, but there is not much on my end. I am the writer, banner making sometimes and someone who is working her way through how to do things on the site. Heck, I am happy how to figure out how to add things to the site, though Robin has to go behind me and make sure everything is ok.
She is awesome!
Reminders,
GET YOUR NOMINATIONS IN!!!!!
I admit, time slipped through my hands, so the next thing I am doing after hitting publish is going to put in my nominations! Are you going to join me?
Also, there is the new contest. I am excited about this, the possibilities are endless. A crossover is your only restriction. And then I gave you some hints courtesy of BuzzFeed. I would love to drop on that post, and tell the lady who compiled all that, there are some answers to her requests!
I just did this interview over at the Non-Canon Awards!!!
About me – I have stated that for now I am only editing chapters for fanfiction, (I have 30+ on Sacred alone!) and until I am done, I will be doing on that as I work on writing the Original Fiction. I have only months left to get that done. If I don’t then Fanfiction will be dropped to push through the dream of working through writing. So please, no demanding comments that I have to finish stuff. I want to finish stuff, I really do. The muse goes where it wants, and do you really want lackluster chapters? Written for the purpose of only giving you chapters and no meat in it? Why?
For those that ask about When I Pretend… All I can tell you, is that Every Dark Night has made it hard for me to continue with the plans for What If. I am having to shit that story cause I can no longer write Alice the way I saw her when I first wrote her. Also, I wrote that one in the midst of losing my job, sick and barely able to leave the house. To say I was depressed to one of the furthest reaches I have gotten is not far off the mark. I have struggled with it, and am bringing it out of the darkness it resided in. I have more to write on it, just haven’t got there yet.
However, When I Pretend is going to be worse on Alice and Edward if not the rest of the Cullens. I cannot write and finish What If if I work on that one too much. That is not fair to that story. I had warned people from the beginning that I wrote When I Pretend to some requests of fans, even though I had not written much beyond the first couple of chapters. It was in the section for pending stories and never meant to be more than that.
Now, the people who follow me here and talk to me through here, have not been as pushy as others in the other sites. But there are a few who do it here as well. All I have to say is that telling me to write on a story or else is not the way to get me to work on it. If anything it makes me mad and I could work on it, but never release a chapter, cause why should I? To have you get hateful when I go to others?
So let me go where I want. I will ALWAYS finish stories. Never giving up on any of them. I am going to work on reposting Tea Shoppe for Twilight and Alice fandoms here when I get a breather. I have no beta for it, but I have people asking for it. While I can add it to the Universe I am building, I figure why do that when you guys want it so much? I never thought the story would be liked as much as it ahs been. Shocker to me.
I am off to post some chapters to the other sites, then go back to working on my original Fiction. I have a chapter of In The End and Our Road is Long out to betas. They have real lives as well, so give us all a break. I know there are stories out there you want, but some of them are waiting for real life issues, and I rather give my betas all the support through their real life issues than demand chapters from them.
See I went and tried to write a chapter of I Never Did. And got 626 words into it. That is it for the entire night. (Teaser below!!) (It’s rough people.. pretty much my thoughts as I type!)
Song I listened to for this chapter: Marchin On (feat Timbaland) by OneRepublic
Previous:
He shakes his head slowly, and then moves to be in front of her. He cups her face softly, and then he kisses her as the room just stares at them, shocked.
After he allows her to breath, he looks down to her, “I apologize, if I had known, I would have never left. I gave up the hope of you long ago. Will you forgive me, mein gefahrte?”
Now:
The whole room is frozen as they hear what he said and it vibrates through their head. Then Eric slowly chuckles.
His little mate is still out of it in his arms, and he plans to soon have her in their room. But this defientely changes the game. He wonders if she had known…
Brandon is just blinking then starts to laugh. When his family turns to look at him, he shakes his head. “I didn’t know of all of it, and like usual when a part of whatever it is comes true, it comes clear. This is one of the reasons he needed to come back. Aisling needed him.”
Godric is looking down at his little mate, and he asks, “So you are my Dotter’s assistant?”
She is staring at him, and nods.
Frey chuckles, “I don’t think she would ever be that silent!”
Griffon, Gainor and Carter all grin at each other. However, before they could say anything, Eric shakes his head at them.
He has a huge grin on his face, and relaxes even more. Unless something happens to Aisling, his Master will be here for a long time. And nothing could make Eric any happier than he is with his mate here, bonded and pledged with her father, and his, here to be here.
Eric gently lays his little one down in their bed, and he just watches her for a minute. He commits every part of her to his memory, as he does each and every time he has a moment to do so. When everything is as he remembers it previously, he takes a finger and trails it down her face, loving the fact he can do this any time he wishes to.
She is his.
Finally.
And in turn, he is hers. In every way, but then, she has owned him since she walked into his bar that night. He just refused to acknowledge it. He fought the war against allowing her in; not knowing it was way too late for it.
No. That time is over. Now is the time for their beginnings to happen, their happily ever after. Or it would be if there wasn’t all the mistakes that have happened.
Like him not killing Russell. Mistake number one. And he is sure that there are more, and that not killing Bill Compton will be one of those things to come back and haunt him later on.
Quickly undressing, he moves to Sookie, and looking down at him, he gets a mischievous look on his face. Within moments, there is only pieces of what had been her clothing floating on the air as he gleefully on his handiwork.
A naked Sookie.
A naked Sookie on their bed.
A naked Sookie on their bed waiting for him.
Wait…
“You think you were going to get away with that?”
He slides in behind his love, kissing her shoulder. “Me?”
A silvery sound of laughter sounds out, as Sookie looks at her other half, “The innocent look doesn’t work so much for a 6’4” Viking vampire. Just letting you know.”
Enjoying the feeling of her enjoyment in him like those bubbles he sees in champagne glasses popping inside his
And that is as far as I got in 6+ hours of trying.
I normally write about 2k words per chapter and about 2 chapters a night. Needless to say I gave up and went back to editing. Clocks had been edited up to chapter 4 last night.
Instead I was going to post this one shot Gyllene had fallen in love with since my awesome Beta Mistress Jessica went ahead and did it. Figured you guys would love it, and we all be happy this week.
Until last night I was trying to find something and went on my laptop to the Google Drive that holds everything. And found out my laptop was not updating to the Drive.
Remember all that head banging?
Yeah I was doing it again.
I went back and looked, and nothing was updated. I should have checked when Jessica had mentioned about the verb tense, but while I thought I fixed it, it is one of those things I get wrong. So I thought I missed some.
No wonder she said something.
So I had to go to her and apologize late last night. I was embarrassed as hell, and mad that I walked away after I fixed it all. And you guys don’t get the chapter, since I did clarify a lot of things in the chapter when I went back to Edit of things that just didn’t sound quite right.
My fault!!!
Everything is fixed, and I will be carrying a little thumb drive back and forth until I can get the laptop updating like it should be. I bet you are wondering why am I still using the laptop? I got ALL of the Mummy done in one night. I got a lot of Clocks done in one night. Frankly I get a lot of work done out there in the other room, and spend more time with family. A great win in my books.
My laptop is great, but it is old. I bought it back in 2007. It can keep up with things, except where memory comes into the equation. It has, I think, 4 gig memory harddrive. Yeah. My desktop has a TB and so does my Google Drive. And while one has pictures and stories on it, the other has the programs to run all of the above as well as the precious iTunes. And they are about even. I am Kittyinaz and I am a memory hog. I seriously have to edit what goes on EVERYTHING I own. All in the interest of memory.
So I do what I can, and am still fiddling around trying to find what works to get out the stories to you guys, and to keep me happily writing. I am working on editing only because it works right now. I will need to go back read everything over, make my notes, go through Rissa’s timeline and then start drawing on my white board what is going to happen to start writing a story I have currently going on or I am writing the sequel to. And I have 20+ stories to do that with. Things are happening, you are getting chapters, but I am doing what I can. I like to write, it’s the editing process I hate.
Basically, we are working on updates to all the other sites, in fact, right this minute we are taking down the Tea Shoppe stories. I know they are down from here and FictionPad. This is also the last week All I Want and Wisdom, Justice and Love are being updated on FanFiction. I was not joking when I said we were going to start pulling away from the site.
Because, ficlet78 announced another story of hers was plagiarized. And as she said, it’s getting stupid. Funny how it seems to be FanFiction that holds most of the plagiarists. I enjoy the majority of the fans, and it is NOT their fault. But there comes a time that you need to realize enough is enough. And I have long since given up on the site.
Anything new will follow my fellow writer’s Dr Harley’s example. First chapters will be published. I publish on other sites, A03 (Archive of Our Own), FictionPad, and TWCS (The Writer’s Coffee Shop). I hear rumors of another site by some of my ladies, and I will support that one with everything I can. But I cannot spend my time chasing thieves instead of writing. I can’t even reply to comments since it takes days for one story. Much less all the ones I have going on! I try to answer the questions, and grin with glee when I get the others. It has given me days of being taken from being in the dumps, to grinning like the Cheshire Cat.
So I am going to go back to making sure everything is ready, make some Homemade mac and cheese for dinner. (The recipe and step by step pictures are on the food blog!) Then edit my heart out for the rest of Clocks so I can move on to another story. I think I will be overworking my poor betas!
Enjoy the night, and when I can publish again, I will be!
LMAO…. ok how many of you went crazy this past weekend? I didn’t get to, but this coming weekend I will be out of commission as I shop my heart out for Christmas.
So… You know what day it is right?!?!?! Yep. Monday. And instead of offering you a special deal of 99% off, I will give you instead a free gift! A Chapter of AIW!
Click on the banner to get there, the links will be active once the WordPress Whisperer whispers cunningly to the internet and makes them magically appear.
Yeah, I am in a good mood. LOL. I be you guys couldn’t tell could you??? Why?
Because for one thing, it is Christmas. My favorite time of the year. The good vibes off everyone is enough to make anyone smile. To have Christmas songs playing (Joy to the World by Faith Hill right now!!) I was happier until I sat up and realized that I have downsized a pillow from the attentions of Murphy and Connor. Ah well. It’s just money.
LOL.
Ok so this past week when we were supposed to be all doing the holiday thing, some things went down. To answer the questions I am still getting, here is a break down:
Yes, I am phasing out FanFiction.net. This week will be the last chapter for All I Want on that site. I will be publishing the beginning of stories, and that is all. If it comes to the need to delete stuff, then the story is no longer being published there. I will continue publishing here everything. TWCS is another site that hosts my stories as well as A03 and FictionPad. But they are all published here first.
Yes, I am pulling all the Tea Shoppes and stories that have to do with it. This will happen on Wednesday. After a long discussion, my betas convinced me it really is good enough to publish. I didn’t think so. It has not ended, so it will be sold as a book instead.
I am still writing FanFiction. In fact, last night I finished editing the Mummy. And was very upset with myself for leading into the sequel. If I can wrangle the time before I need to do anything, I will start on IND. I find I can edit on my laptop better since I am not talking to everyone. I don’t like to edit. So I am easily distracted. oops.
I also edited a one shot Gyllene loves, so it is off to the betas.
After IND, Clocks is being edited. I plan to have EVERY story I have updates for to be sent off to the Betas soon. So expect more and more to show up for you guys.
Best was opened, but was found to be too tiring for me at 2am to work on. I expect you will be finding that one sent off soon also.
We started a new Facebook group for those who are switching over to WordPress, or who are users of it who wish to find new tricks, talk over issues they are having or so forth. It is a open group, and as people join and ask, we will discuss some items. I did some tutorial screen shots to show how to add media, how to use shortlinks and how to embed links in posts and pages through the use of either pictures or words. It is called WordPress Help for FanFiction
That is the questions I received this week. Here are your answers. Nothing else is being removed at this point. I am planning on finishing all the stories. The reason Tea Shoppe was pulled cause it was an original story being set to the fanfiction worlds.
We held our monthly Banner Contest over in the Kittyinaz Facebook Group. Members who wish to participate often submit their entries when I open the contest up. This month was harder due to the holiday. The first place is the banner of the month on the group page, and 2nd place is the banner for the Kittyinaz Facebook Page. Please see the Banners below to be taken to the pages. Congrats to our winner! (PS, no the banner does not snow on the Facebook Page. But I use these as opportunities to try new things!)
I received one entry. If you had forgotten, you have until midnight to get in your entry, otherwise the one entry wins. Because of the response… This is the last Kill Bill. I will work to find the theme for this month’s contest. I am thinking Christmas….
Amazon.. It is shopping season, and please if you use Amazon, use the link above in the banner to buy from them. It helps me out and does nothing but may help you. For those that rather copy and paste, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=kittyinaz-20 Thanks!!
Murphy!
Good news on that front. He got his shots on Saturday with the normal Vet we use. They are trying to find some flea medicine to use with him since the medication on his mange is really strong. His fur is coming in, and you have above adorable pics last night as he slept while I edited. And yes, that is his tongue sticking out. He is getting the idea of house training, he is actually going to people before he goes inside. The problem is we have no idea if it is for affection or to go out. But he is telling us!
For now, I will let you soak in these things as I introduce the Person of the Week!
This week is Naima Demars.
This woman is amazing. She has never failed to help out in anything we have asked, or to take up causes she finds. If you are on Facebook, you know this woman as the person who shares updates on FanFiction Lovers as well as SVM/TB FanFiction. She was the one who spread the word on the You Got Blood Awards, and who also helped spread the word on the Plagarists. I even saw her comments on the person’s stories that she told them which stories they stole it from!!!!
She is so very loyal to those she sees as friends. Even though English is not her first language, she works with us English speakers. I am constantly amazed.
So please, leave her a kind word on her wall in Facebook. She more than deserves the credit for working to see the SVM/TB Fandom not dying as many have seem to have done. We well appreciate her efforts and continue writing, knowing she will be there cheering us on!
Have fun this week, and I will see if I can get a IND chapter done now.
Due to the rise in plagiarism combined with the fear of censorship (it’s REALLY racy), my beta team and I have discussed pulling this story and holding it to publish as an original fiction.
After much arguing, they finally got it through my thick skull that it is good enough to be an original work.
So, you guys have until next updating (Dec 3) to read this. Then it will be taken down in all incarnations of it.
Sorry to all of you who wanted this to end here, but the work going into it is going to be huge. And with people stealing work and so forth, I just don’t trust people. Right now, there is no ending written in stone yet, but when you buy the book you can find out how it goes down…
Yes, I know it has been awhile. And it will be awhile longer for new chapters of the stories I know you are waiting for. Why? Cause RL is bombing me with crap. So I declared it a lost cause, and will take up the fight after I come back from Las Vegas. Click on the banner below for which version you prefer.
This time next week I will be packing, thinking of what all I need to have and printing my boarding passes. I will be flying out of Houston, and landing in Los Angeles and watching the people mill around for 4 hours, before flying to Las Vegas to meet the wonderful Bertie Bott. And hopefully sometime, LadyKT. We will be meeting the wonderful Ian, and Daniel. And maybe it will motivate me to write You’re part II?
So my ladies have gotten together, and Tea Shoppe is back in business. It is taking a lot of work, that Mommy4Thomas is doing on her own, to change it to present tense, and to fix that mess. But expect it to be coming up with more chapters now that we are getting to the point of kiddos in school and so forth.
I am going to post this, and depending how I feel, I will be making some banners and looking over stuff. Per the request of my Facebook Team, they want Clocks without being finished. The teasers have them begging for more. So expect that to be coming out.
I am off to publish my chapters, and then to see what else I can get in trouble for ready for my trip.
Yep, and you got One Shots to read, a surprise One Shot by yours truly, and so much more. So get comfy to read this post, I got some great reading for you to do… and vote on!! Yes folks, its that time of the month again, the Kittyinaz’s Monthly Writing Challenge is now open and ready for you to read the brave souls who stepped forward and wrote for the contest!
What was the Challenge for this month? It was a song, The Next Contestant by Nickelback. The song is on the challenge page, so please do listen to it. What made me choose this? Funny you ask! The reason is that it has been in my head for a one shot for a long time, and since I could not decide completely on the couple for the fic, I thought it would be great to use.
Please remember that the contests are to help inspire others to write, and to also let you know some of the authors out there. This may give them their break (which I would love to hear!), or just give you a new author that has been writing for awhile a shot at a different audience to read them. The names have been withheld, and you are voting on the story itself. There is no maximum words, nor this time a need to stick with one of my stories. It just had to be characters from my stories. Hey, it’s my contest! I had to get my stuff in there somehow!
But, to surprise everyone, I had wanted to enter, to get one of the snazzy banners missron80 makes, instead, I admitted I shouldn’t. So instead, I wrote a One Shot, that Bertie Bott Beta’d since it is her story. I wrote a Tea Shoppe One Shot. It takes place in the future. It’s to assure that no, I have not forgotten the fic, in fact for those that were not aware, it is getting a facelift by Bertie Bott, and Mommy4Thomas (My new Beta, so give her a warm welcome!). They are doing the facelift, then getting Twilighted Tea Shoppe ready for the next chapter. It is NOT forgotten, and this one shot reminded me of all the fun of the cast.
So here is my One Shot: (And yes Missron80 did make me a snazzy banner for it!)
And once the WordPress Whisperer, aka 4Padfoot gets the chance, she will provide a link between that and the challenge page, but I’ll put it on here for all of you guys. You can vote more than once, in fact the voting window is on the side. Tricky and awesome aint she? She also won’t share the results with anyone unless they give her bribes….
She has also made a page for the Meme of the Kittyinaz Facebook group. It’s been thrown around since the beginning, and really taken off, it’s “Shouldn’t you be writing?” It started with Meridian throwing the ones of the Avengers at me all the time, and since then it has exploded to the point that 4Padfoot has made a page for it. Here is the one that started it all and you can click on it to get to the page…that somehow is missing this one…. hmmmmmm…….
Also, don’t forget to visit her page if you are thinking of doing anything on WordPress. She has made her site into a showcase showing all the sites she works on. And I am not ashamed to say I push her for new and exciting things as I see possibilities.
There is the Food Blog, which is not having a Bi-weekly menu from me, sorry guys, I was so sick the last couple of weeks, I never made the food from the last time, so I bought what I needed fresh and am redoing it. There are some changes, but really, it’s a reuse of the previous week. Sorry for those that read that!
The Tea Blog? The same thing, too sick to write. I can’t even write fully on my E/B story. In fact I spent the whole day trying to get iTunes to recognize my phone, then once I got that working, my Office wouldn’t work. Many, many, MANY restarts later, I am not messing with anything. It all works, including a new printer, and I aint touching anything. Not tonight.
Tomorrow is another posting week, so we will be posting to the sites the one shot above, and the chapter of You’re. Since the Beta for You’re is sick, Meridian has stepped forward to work on it. She is a saint, and is stepping to work on it until the end, then Sitalia25 will be back to Beta the rest of the trilogy. So expect the updates on that to start up, she is asking questions, and I am answering them since she is not a follower of TVD.
There is the awards going on… and
Go vote. There are tons of people on both that deserve it!!
So pull up a chair, get comfy, and click on their banner for the One Shots for the March 31, 2014 Challenge. Have fun!
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…
