New Brotherhood Characters Page

13Yep!! My awesome WordPress Whisperer has come through on something she has been working on for awhile.

She has redone the character page.

For those that don’t know.  The Brotherhood is my Original Fiction I am writing.  It is a series of interlocking stories in my universe that will lead up to a grand finale.  And then, it won’t be over.  I promise many HEA, but then, when don’t I?

Right now I am in the middle of writing the first one, Aos Si, or rather the long name Brotherhood of Aos Si.  I am looking to finish it here this month, after ED is done editing, then I will be editing it for publishing in December.

So, to tempt you guys, I have a chapter of Brotherhood of Kaschei  available to anyone who wants to read it.  As well as the bios that will be popping up.  Enjoy.  Also there are hints of other changes happening like songs added to the song lists for you to listen to them and so on.  All thanks to my wonderful, awesome WordPress Whisperer.

For those that wanted to know, Godric of In The End won this months Interview spot.  Until midnight CST on 10/16/2013 you can add your questions and vote on the ones you like the most.  The top five voted on questions will be used. No more, but no less.  If you want to see what the normal interview questions are, click here.  Also you can see Niall’s interview and if you look around.

I am off to edit.  Have fun!

It’s Saturday.

And you wonder what is so special about Saturdays?  Well, those are the days my Wonderful WordPress Whisperer plays hide the gif.

It is so fun, I am inviting you to play.  Right now there is last weeks Gif (Alex sunbathing) and this week’s which is Ian taking a shower. (See below)

They are NOT in chapters.  But you get to have fun.  Click and let us know when you have found them!  I keep getting distracted by Ian dancing on one of the pages and halt there.  I won’t blame you if you do too.  So happy hunting!  And no, the gifs below are so you know what you are looking for!

By the way, thanks for all the well wishes.  I am feeling better, but I am actually not home for once in a while. So my betas are covering for me by adding the posts.  But I really thank you all for caring about me!

Niall’s Interview!

dancingian

Yes, the interview is done!  Many thanks to our WordPress Whisperer and to Meridian for their help in it.  And many thanks of course to our continuity beta, MissRissa81.  They all helped to make this so much fun to do.  I just sat down, and interviewed, they made it all pretty.

So, you know the drill, click the dancing Niall to make it to the Monthly Interviews screen.

For those of you lost, this is a new monthly article that will be done on here.  It will eventually replace the Character Lists that I have on stories.  We have a list of standard questions, and then after the Facebook group votes on what story and who the character will be, then they can ask up to five questions.  The most ‘liked’ will be asked.  For more information, please refer to the Monthly Interviews.

So sit back, enjoy this interview, since I most definitely did!  It was easy, fun and I can’t wait for next month.  MissRon80 even has made me banners!!!!  I am so excited!

Monthly Character Interview

Autmun in a park

Have you had a question for your favorite characters in the stories?  Well, the admins of this site have decided to help you out!

In my Facebook Group, (Which the link is on the side) We held the first vote for the characters.  Niall won from ITE.

So what does this mean?  That for today, Monday 09/23/2014 through Tuesday 09/24/2014 until 3pm CST, you can join in determining five additional questions to ask him.  How will I be determining this?  I will take the five most liked questions and add them to the interview.  If there are not five, then there will be less questions.  Never more than five, but certainly less.

Here is the link to the Basic Questionnaire, so you know what will be included in each one.  I will post the interview here before the end of the month.  Next month, I will but up the poll again for input.

I am off to finalize what I need to do to get ready for this, then I will be working on something.  Anything.

A Comment that Deserves its own Stars:

Alexander Skarsgard 142

This is a comment I received on my story Tin Man.  It is one of my favorite stories, but not a lot of love was received for it.  As mentioned before, my muse is a bitch.  She will reluctantly work with me when she doesn’t feel like we are appreciating her.  I am NOT a review whore.  I am so far ahead of where you are reading, this should not be a thought in your head.  If I was a review whore, many of the stories on here wouldn’t be.  A lot of them are late comers in being liked.

I started off  writing on August 27, 2010.  Yep, in two days it will be 3 years that I have been writing.  And at that time, I did it not believing anyone would read anything I wrote.  Why would they?  I was a no one.  I have a brain stuffed with all the rules of  English, but for reading purposes, they really suck.  Then I remembered a teacher who told me, as long as it flows, the readers will forgive a lot.

So I started to write.  I wrote Alice and Hatter.  It is based on Syfy’s Alice. (Which is also on Netflix, just to let you know.)  I bought the damn movie in so many forms trying to find one I could use.  Ended up with a Amazon version, You Tube version (which both sucked), a DVD that took my husband and I a day to search for cause, (those online updates what stores have, sucked back then).  And finally, a type in for fun of Andrew Lee Potts landed me the iTunes version.  Which is still on all my devices and where I can watch even in the hospital.  Did it!

I settled down with a song playing on my iPod and watching the movie, over and over and over and over. (Cause I was stupid, and didn’t turn subtitles on.)  I wrote out the story, posting as I went, sometimes multiple chapters in a day.  Let me tell you something, it is hilarious to read my own comment.  I was surprised and giddy when I hit a hundred reads.

From that grew Tea Shoppe; a sequel to Alice and Hatter (Revelations); then Tin Man.  After that, What if.  Then I got sick and was more concerned with not moving to prevent agony in my body, and at that time, it was very important to not cause agony, it made all sorts of bad things to happen.  Faeregina came from nowhere after I learned of the True Blood universe after I was healing.  She LOVED my work.  We talked, and slowly but surely, she encouraged me to write again.  I started ITE for her.  As a huge thank you.

And from there, you have all this. (gestures to the site you are reading)  Now this is a long beginning for a comment I received that actually is making me go down this memory lane.  I will say MUCHO thanks to the reader who left this.  It’s true for all of us. And now, I will go back to fighting the need to write, and giving up.  (I’m actually waiting for THE SONG to play for me to start.)  Now without much more ado the review who inspired another Post today.  (But I am still going to find a gratuitous Skarsporn for this post):

Okay I am writing this as an over all review for readers looking to read this story, Tin Man.  Yes, we all came to find Miss. Wendy’s lovely stories different ways.  Thru friends, other blogs, other stories recommendations or maybe just surfing the internet.  But when we got here some of us…yes me included…ignored this little story. (yes at this time it is only 8 chapters out there)  Most of us go scrolling on by to get the True Blood, Twilight or Vampire Diary stories we eagerly wait for updates on.  So I am going to say “HEY STOP!!!” Scroll back up to that one little story *Stop it scroll back up, thank you* and here is what you do.  Almost everyone has Netflix now…if not come find me I will loan you my login…go and watch the Tin Man miniseries I am pretty sure it is on you tube too.  It is in three parts.  Great Story!  (My daughter, Christina, now can’t get enough of that story thanks again Rissa) WATCH it all.  Then go on the adventure with Cain, DG, AZ, Glitch, Raw, and everyone else. (don’t want to spoil it too much)  You already know that Miss Wendy is a wonderful writer or you would not be here looking for story updates in the first place.  So how can you doubt that this is not a good story too.  I will be the first to say that Wendy and Rissa both converted me and I will continue to follow and read ALL of her stories.  Not a single one has failed to be excellent yet!   

 

Now on a second note…this is not just for this story but for ANY story we read.  We are GREEDY and all beg our favorite authors for updates almost as soon as we finish reading a chapter that was published.  But I want you to think for a few minutes how many times have you sat down at the end of a chapter and typed more than a few “Great chapter or Love it?”  Now think back to how many hours it took any author to focus and get the correct story in their head and write a single chapter.  Then you can’t take five minutes and tell what you like and didn’t like even.  How it makes you feel when you are reading.  All of these things help keep an author loving their work.  We all know what happened to Harris who fell out of love with her characters and most believe she kept writing for the money.  But I truly believe if we would spend a tenth of the time sending reviews with all the happiness or even confusion (I have sent those also) authors will respond with more chapters.  I know when I wrote I did.  Every time I new review came in it gave me a little buzz. 

 SO Wendy here is your BUZZ for this story … I Love it I wish there was more than 5 stars I could give it.  I bow down to Rissa’s wisdom and Will continue till I have all the chapters of all your stories reviewed!  Thank you for keeping us entertained and I hope you reach all your dreams.

Thanks!!!!!!  And I will try to take a break to get the other written ones up.  Hopefully, I will get where my muse is eager to take this one up again.  It is going to be freaking epic, and I want to get it out of my head so that I can go back and reread it later.

Just to clear up some stuff

Alexander Skarsgard 152

Yes, I am writing my little heart away.  In fact, ED should be done this month.  I will start on the next, making sure that I don’t need to go back and add stuff to make it more rounded.  But if not needed, I will be editing and giving over to my beta next month to publish once a week.  Wednesday again.

Yes, you are seeing some more fics popping up under the main pages.  But they are mostly all under construction.   The reason, well I like this finishing something before handing it off to the Betas.  I trust all my Betas very much so.  So I feel very easy to write away.

So yes, there is another Damon and Bella story.  It will take me awhile to write because it is angsty from the beginning.  It is also part of the Brotherhood Universe, and in fact it pops up in the ED story with the Brotherhood names in it already.   It will also fill in some blanks in the TB world from the SVM universe. But because it is angsty, and so different from what I normally write, I want to take my time with it.  It has been three years in the making, not having found a universe I liked to write it in.  And knowing it will become of my very own universe is making it easier to write.

I am NOT giving up with my other stories.  Nope, thanks to MissRissa81 and Meridian, I seem to adding, not subtracting.  Yes, all those story plots are floating in my head.  Multiple ones.  And yes I somehow keep them all separate.  Yes, I am working on finishing to give you some stuff to read, knowing that you no longer have to wait for that particular story to finish.  It is easier for me.  I am not getting so sick anymore from trying to push myself to finish editing and writing 12 stories at once.

Tea Shoppe will be finished, but I figured it won’t until the muse gets encouragement.  Me forcing her did nothing but land me here staring at  my screen drooling.  Over nothing.  So, We will do this her way, and she is happy, and making up new stories, even though I told her she will get nothing for it.

Doesn’t see to bother her now.   Persnickety bitch.

Hope this clears up stuff.  And as always, if you have questions or want to help out, you can visit the Facebook group.  They helped me make some decisions for ED just this week.  And the Teaser picture folder just got updated for them.

See you soon, hopefully with posts on stuff you CAN read stories on!  I also put Skarsporn up since it is his Birthday!  We are not putting ages up since he was born the same year as me.  We will just say, wow!! You look great at 29!
