So.. as most you know, I LOVE music. I write to music, and I do the banners and such listening to music. I was out to find a new band’s lyrics, when I found this WordPress site. I listened to the first song, and I am keeping it so I can download the song later. I thought you guys might like to hear the music too. Go check them out!
And this means another chapter of You’re is up and ready for you to read. It’s NSFW. Just letting you guys know. Chapter 24 for those that are still confused between FanFiction, FictionPad, Ao3 and TWCS, who all got Chapter 23 today.
So what else is going on Wendy? Glad you asked!!! (Cause I know you wanted to!!) Our group did AWESOME in the Fanatic Fanfics!! Look below for the awards that we got!!! Congrats to all the winners!!!
Now you want to know how I did? You’re got 3rd place, and Every Dark Night got 1st in Crossover fics. I feel like I am boasting, but it is all due to you guys voting!!! Thanks so much!!!!!
That brings me to another announcement. While we waited for the awards to be announced slowly, Mistress Jessica1028, 4PadFoot, Gyllene and Magsmacdonald got to talking about awards. From this conversation, we actually moved forward and are going to have one for those in the TB/SVM. Yes, we know there are the Fangies, and we are not trying to steal the spotlight, but we liked the idea of a couple different contests around that we have been in. So You Want Blood Awards came about. And yes that pic is one of my infamous clicky links, cause 4PadFoot aka WordPress Whisperer has already got us a site!!!! We are gearing up for the contest and have the categories ready and so on. Nominations will open on May 1st, and will be one week long. So please pay attention while we play it up, and help make this a great year for our first shot at it.
Crossover Haven… OMG!! You people ROCK!!!! We have had a day of almost 1k hits and it has not really slowed down! And kudos to Bertie Bott for getting one of my favorite FanFiction Crossover writers to post on our site. For those that don’t know, Crossover Haven is a place for ANY and ALL crossovers to be. We are still working to suggestions put out on streamlining the site. Also, while the site has some crossovers listed, we did it to try to show that we will accept anything that falls in our guidelines. ANY crossovers will be considered, and only if you have incest, rape as being the main part of the story as in it being done to the main characters not as a past story point, or domestic abuse unless again, a story point. We wish to have some guidelines for the grammar, as in not all in lower case, or upper case and stuff like that. And for what is considered ok? Well, to be blunt, if one of the people who reads and sets up the stories has a question, then they talk to the rest of us to agree. Plus there is a judging panel in case there is any questions from the people submitting.
Why was the Crossover Haven brought about? Twilighted. They rejected ED saying that it had too many grammar issues. I heard other people complaining when I said something, and how that crossovers that are not Edward/Bella are rejected. So I came up with a place for them to be submitted and NOT have to wait a freaking month to just be rejected. Plus I really love crossovers. To read, write and just all around love looking at the ideas. It is how I got into True Blood, I read a Godric/Bella fic that I cannot find anymore. But it started me reading True Blood and here I am today.
I am true believer in also helping people get started and recognized for their unique skills. So yes, there is a lot going on, and I am still writing, making banners, character profiles, hosting challenges in our group, and doing everything I can to push forward to others what amazing talents people have. I’m paying forward the love and respect I have gotten from others. You guys are the one who encouraged me to chase my dreams, and so much has come from it. I wish to help others do the same…
So go forth.. read, write, and so on! Tell me of your talents, and I will showcase them as I can! If you wish to participate, or have ideas for things, come to the Facebook group and you will not believe the support you can earn with it. Its a great feeling when others see what you can do. Shoot, MamaKitty, my mom, is part of my group! And there is a current challenge there, and I even have the banner for the current contest done: (And to have it, you just need to submit a one shot!)
Enjoy! And I will see you soon.

Here is another One Shot I highly recommend. I am slow on reblogging, but that isn’t because of her! It was all me. Go read. Its freaking awesome!
I am getting ready to put pics in for you’re. So expect that today. Also!!! Please go take a look while you wait for me to post. This should give you plenty to read along with another one shot I will be posting!!!
And a VERY Happy Easter to you all!!!! I am getting more proficient in Elements. But not enough to put bunny ears on an owl. Or anyone else…. LOL!
So, for what has ben going on. I have finished the first five chapters to Wisdom, and you guys will get it when I do the other 4 stories I am working on writing and then Editing. I am back to working on Clocks, and so Happy that my Muse finally let me in on the plans for that one. She let me know the following stories, but no the one I was writing. Stinker.
Right now, (Its the weekend, my time!) I am working on Character Banners. Go check out ITE’s character pages and you can see what I am doing. Our WordPress Whisperer is even making some neat things happen also.
The new site is getting hits, but we need some of you that are writers to submit also!!! If your crossover is not listed, no worries! We will put it up! There were just too many to guess at so we took a selection of the first page of crossovers to use, along with the ones we have already submitted. And there is a Mature section, that you have to click a button to say you are over 18 years of age to enter. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am getting a lot of new followers, so it is good for you on your site also!
Ok, what am I showcasing today? The artistic hand of one of my ladies. Her pen name is Cuinawen. And while she writes some really awesome stories, she also can draw!!! Her banner and background were handmade by her. She also has a gallery of her drawings. I only wish I could do the same!!! I had a book on drawing horses, and I can do anything beyond the basic cicles and lines in between. It kinda looks like a horse….. If you turn your head to the side and squint hard. But please go check out her site!!! Click on her name up above to be transported to her site!
4Padfoot has not made any videos this week (That I know of), so I dipped into my fandom videos for you guys to watch.
The first one is one that made me fall in love with this song. I never head of Red Jumpsuit Apparatus until I got obsessed with syfy Alice fan made videos. So I bring to you one of the ones who inspired me to write the Alice and Hatter fic. Subscribe if you like her stuff!

The second one is one of the best fanmade videos I have seen. I love Hurricane by 30 Seconds to Mars, and when I saw this Vampire Diaries rendition of it, I was dumbfounded. She did one, then redid it. Again, don’t forget to subscribe or leave a comment!

Other than that, I am working on banners then back to Clocks. I have been dropping off teasers when I am writing, so you guys have some stuff in there to read, as well as allthe other teasers and stories on the page form the other ladies.
So I am off to make more banners, to relax, and to have fun this Sunday!
Enjoy!
Wendy
I have the great honor of informing you guys of a new site that my group from Facebook has spent the last 2 weeks putting together. There has been testing and so much more going on, but today, I am happy to announce it is live!
What is this new site? It is called Crossover Haven, and that is what it is for. For authors to put their crossovers on a site dedicated to them and them only. We are planning for their to be awards and so on to be done as the site gets further along. There is a mature area, and there are areas for non M rated fics.
Submission is easy, there is a form to be filled out. The submission forms will set you up on your Author page as well as your first chapter of your story. After that, it will up to you to keep up your stories. There is a team of people willing to help out. If you have a crossover story not showing up don’t worry, we are ready to add any crossovers you guys want to hand us.
If you have any suggestions, see anything that bothers you, or wish to ask questions, please use the email button on the side to email us.
We are seriously thrilled to be introducing this to the general public, and look forward to seeing you guys submit stories! I love Crossovers, and my group loves them too. So click on the banner above and it will take you to the new site!
Enjoy and please spread the word!!
Wendy
