Like I said, I am posting these as I go. And the newest one is ready for you guys to read!
As soon as I get it caught up, I will see where I am at in FanFiction, and may publish a new chapter for both. Then off to the next story to be updated here.
Thanks guys!! The reviews are helping!
Yep, I finally got it to work. And after spending most of the day reading through this puppy, only to have my internet to give out on me when I was posting pics, well frustrated is one way to put it.
But, I walked away, ate dinner, and wola! Everything is now working. I will work on the next one!
Enjoy! And remember, leaving a comment makes me more likely to get back to this once I am caught up….
Couldn’t help myself when I saw the pic…. however, today will be a busy day on this site.
I will be updating, linking and working like crazy to bring this up to the levels I wanted for it. I will also be publishing stories and such.
Stories that will NOT be touched (unless for linking purposes) are In The End, (She has the most recent chapter and it is FREAKING huge!!! There is a hint on my facebook page), Tea Shoppe, Revelations.
The poll showed that you guys want What If, just say nothing negative because it won’t be Beta’d. It will just be me going over it my many times.
I will be updating because some of you like the stories I have been holding off on.
What does this mean for In the End? Nothing. I have needed something to work on when characters make me mad. And I made a resolution to try to finish some of these fics. My large ones are Revelations, Tin Man, In the End, What if. The rest will fall where they will.
If anyone wants to help out and help check out the chapters, please feel free to! Just drop me a line and I will talk with you. Just know that I am happy with my Beta, Love her in fact! So it would be the stories she can’t get to, since unlike me, she has a life. LMAO!!!
Hopefully after this will be easier, I am trying to be more active. There is stuff still going on in RL (Connor!) that interrupt me, but I am trying!
So sorry to be blowing up emails, but maybe you guys will find some stories that you like in the mean time? And don’t forget the Poll! I am listening to it, and there has to be more than 29 opinions out there. But so far those are the ones that are counting!

For those that have been waiting for this, the wait is over. Just remember, this is a R rated fic. Or VERY VERY mature. Just warning. It builds up to it.
Yes, Tea Shoppe is starting the move over to WordPress. And yes, the ladies on Kittyinaz on Facebook got the first notification.
For those that do not know, Tea Shoppe started as a thank you to my fans for reviewing Alice and Hatter. It was supposed to be a one shot, and it was inspired by a ride home one day and I heard If We Ever Meet Again by Timbaland and Katy Perry. The entire scene that is written is that as it played out in my mind as I listened. But then I found out it was too big to send in PM’s. So I did a dedication to the fans that I was going to send it to.
I posted it, thinking that was all that was going to come out of it. I surprised everyone, including my beta at that time, and had a HUGE response asking for more. So, with no plan or anything, writing as I went, I wrote this out. I actually had until Chapter 22 written while I was struggling with a plot issue in my other story at the time Revelations. It contains a chapter I had actually wanted to write to a song in this, and ended up making me cry as I wrote it. As we come up to it, I will let you know. Tea Shoppe has been the easiest story to write, and has usually been one I can sit and write easily.
But, it also has had it’s share of heartbreaks too. As my first, from the soul story, I wanted to post it to Twilighted.com in the hopes that maybe it can be picked up. I sent it there, and got turned down. Told that maybe Project Team Beta can help. Now I was pretty far in the story, and went with it. I had just picked up a Beta who was helping me out big time, and what would be the harm in more?
The first chapter came back with 203 comments of things to change in the story. Yep, I said 203 in one chapter. And it never got better. I grew frustrated, specially since I submitted chapter one twice, and got no better. The reason I submitted chapter one twice? Twilighted turned me down again.
After that, I got really sick. It started in December of 2010, I started to have insomnia. I pushed it aside, thinking it was the stress of redoing Alice and Hatter for me to send it as a gift out, baking my buns off for a party I was giving later, and for my gifts to the office. I never had a downtime until the actual holiday.
But, it continued. And I got the flu. From there it went all downhill. I was in so much pain I was out of work beginning May and never returned. Stress made it worse, and it became so bad, I could not move from the bed. After MANY tests, and very painful ones, they determined that I needed surgery. By that time I was fired, and was basically bed ridden. I could get up, but it hurt so bad… yeah. I lost 50 lbs during that time, basically in two weeks, because all I could eat was some pretzels and crackers. And the insomnia continued, even with Ambien. When I came through all that, it came to light that the suffering I had gone through for 18 years, was based on a misdiagnose, that no doctor until my current one questioned. Thank goodness she did! During this time, is when I got hooked on True Blood, and Inuyasha fics. I also proved what an EXCELLENT investment the iPad was. LOL.
Luckily for me, during all this, I had a cheering squad on my side. I, to this day, give many thanks to Hattie. She has been, and continues to be, my cheering squad. She jumps in and helps me search out pics, and many of the pics I will be using will be from her. And yes, she is still reading my stuff, well, she would read In The End, but she is not into blonds. LOL!!! Though she thinks Joe M. is a hottie….
So many, MANY thanks to Hattie.
And so many freaking thanks, that you will not believe, to my current Beta. I sent her the chapter, and tonight when she posted it, she asked what the heck had they been thinking. She is also in love with my Tin Man Story. It is because of her that I started to write again. She encouraged me to write In The End, and is a big supporter of mine. We have grown close, shoot we even get sick together. LOL! This is why I trust her, and love her as my Beta. She tells me she changed two pics, and is working on the next chapter, but neither of us like a set of pictures. Yes, we take pictures seriously.
So, if nothing else, please try to give this story, that is so close to my heart, a chance. I will be updating the Twilight version that I started. The biggest changes? Well the main characters are Bella and Peter. And MY Peter is Ryan Reynolds. <evil grin>
And for those who read my original, well, nothing is changing except pictures added, grammar fixed and all that. As the chapters update here, I will be removing anything from the FanFiction version that would cause it to be pulled. But not until it is up hear. Because face it. It would be pulled. LOL!
Thanks for reading my rambling. Some of this is to let you know about this story, and some to let the current fans know why it seemed I gave up on this story. I haven’t.
Enjoy!

Yep, It’s time for the new chapter of In The End!!!
Just to give you some story behind this one and the mental picture I had, the opening paragraph is actually inspired by a night I remember. I was outside on my balcony in the Foothills of Tucson. It was a cold clear night and I was looking up at the stars, thinking. Then out of the desert I hear the howls of the Coyotes. It just has stuck in my head for YEARS afterwards. (I think the last time I was there all the area is under development now.) I am just glad to be able to use the memory in my story!
My Beta also offered a song for that paragraph, Full Moon, Full of Love. It is sung by K.D. Lang, or at least the version she could find for me. I always entertain suggestions. I know that is how some of my bands came about. My brother is my other source. He knows me pretty well and when I am stuck, he offers suggestions. They may not work for that chapter, but for others they have.
I am working on Chapter 22. And for those that got answers in Reviews, I needed the pick me up!! For some reason this chapter is kicking my butt. So positive things were needed, and your reviews helped a lot. But I am finding myself in the quandary that I am now taking up to a full day to answer them. So, If you ask a question, I will definitely answer. For all the rest, if I can I will, if not, don’t think I don’t read them, or go back and read them for inspiration.
Right now, I am working on Chapters, catching up on my reading and will be working on getting Tea Shoppe up to snuff. And my resolution is to finish it. I also plan to work on some others, but I will keep ahead of this story. It won’t be short… If you can’t tell!
Also, thank you to all the people who read my posts and recs! It is how stories get passed around is by word of mouth. So I try to do my part and let you know what I am reading, and now that I can keep up, which authors I am aware of moving to WordPress.
So enjoy the Short Chapter. Let me know what you think about all the new Characters, and yes, I am mean. I gave HUGE hints to who the people are except the last 2. I will tell you she is going to be a big player. Think Norse is all I can say.
The pic is another rehash, sorry. It’s not letting me load, and is restarting the website if I do, so I don’t really want to load this all over again.
Enjoy your chapter!

I am getting ready to edit the new chapter. Sorry, I have been caught up in Connor (Who doesn’t understand I don’t need to pay attention to him 24/7.) and a new series.
I will answer reviews after I work on this, like I said, I have been caught up reading a series. Oops. But I HAVE written on a new chapter this week.
Also, this coming chapter is either going to be short, or it will take me awhile to edit. I have 6…SIX new characters to write about. Yeah it one of those chapters… But you guys are wanting hints about what is going on behind the scenes? Right?
Facebook fans have a pic that you guys don’t have. It is one of those 6 characters. (What the heck was I thinking in introducing six new ones?? Outta my head at the time!)
After that I will be off completing that chapter. And praying since my parents are both coming down with another round of whatever. I am trying to stay healthy. Eating 3 times a day and so on. Crossing fingers, not allowing a black cat to cross my path. You know everything!!!
I thought you might like the above pic, yes right now I can upload…. Who knows how long it will last.
If anyone is wondering what has captured my attention. Well it isn’t the Multiverse, which is normally where I have been. Nor is it Texan Lady. It is Carroll E. Stewart. She is writing a TB that I am following. But I went into her profile… And I am caught. She is great… I am only chapter 72 of 77 of I am not an Architect. Click her name to go to her profile. She explains there so much better.
