Yep, my betas Mknue and Meridian came through and got the chapter ready for this week. This is the last one that will be a ‘double’ post for the posting week. But I couldn’t let you guys go without this chapter all the way until next Monday.
Just to remind you, yes, uncensored chapters will be here. This is a E/S/G fic. It will be slow for one of the triad, and fast for the other. This is the first book, and you will quickly see I do have a plan for everything. This book is done. All written, and I am editing it so I can move on to other stuff like those Twilight crossovers I get so many requests for.
Mondays will be AIW, and then, IND on Wednesdays, and Heavenly on Fridays. At least until they are ended. However, Heavenly will be a long running series of books, seems I have like 6 years to cover… so needless to say, it will be reigning over that day once started for a long time. I have ALOT of stories to be dumped on. 8 to work on when I go back to writing.
FYI, for the writers, and readers, FanFiction’s hunt is back on. WhiteWolfLegends just got some of her stories deleted, for grammar. Yes. Not for the mature content, but according to her information, grammar. So back up those stories. There is WordPress, TWCS, AO3 and FictionPad out there to put your story on. FictionPad will move your stories over from FanFiction for you. We have lost some great stories in the past due to these people. I know I am on the list since I got in a scuffle with one of them over the idiocy of them deleting things.
::Looks around:: I don’t really have much to say since I posted yesterday! So go on, click and enjoy, and if you feel like it, let me know what you think or your guesses. I love reading your inputs!!!
Yes, I remembered. Though shhh.. it’s like 2:15 am in the morning, but I will schedule this to go out when I should be up.
Please remember, this is Sunday, my day away from the computer. I know!! You are shocked! Wendy? Away from the computer? What the heck?!?!?!
Since last Sunday was a success, we are making it permanent. And then we went one step farther, since it really took me all day to edit 4 pages, something that normally takes me a couple of hours if that, talking with Karen, we decided that Saturday is the day to play on the computer. No working on stories. Instead, if I am here, and on the computer, I get to play with my new video making program, or making banners. Or gif’s that move and stuff. Or whatever I want, as long as it is not a story.
I spend every day on this thing, but weekends are hard, everyone comes into my office to pull me into discussions that I have to pay attention to. Or we spend the day out shopping or walking around. Plus to be blunt, if I only work, and not allowed to play, well it aint good. Not at all. Instead, we are being proactive and pushing for me to have days away from the stories.
Other news, we have spruced up the site some. I was bored with all the writing on the side, so talking to Gyllene, she mentioned that I can replace the Betas names with buttons that once clicked will take the user to their site. Then I asked about the gifs with names. We figured out I could do it, and I went to town. Everyone either chose their own Gifs, or I somehow picked ones they love. Bertie Bott, Gyllene and 4PadFoot all made their own.
Then, I had more fun. 4Padfoot got online with me, and we played with our programs. She found an easier way for me to do what I was doing, and can add frames and so on. If you want to see what I did, click on the button below. For those that don’t know, Andrew Lee Potts was my first inspiration.
This is what happens when I get bored of things. I push my envelopes. Plus this past week was a drama filled week and I just needed to get my mind off of it. Yeck.
Good news for those that are following my health. Which seems funny to me, but here we go. Sleeping 4-6 hours is now normal. Without anything but OC drugs to help out. Yeah!!! I also finished the one month on the bicycle officially on Friday. So I am moving on to the Elliptical!!! Also, Hubs went with me to make sure I am using the weights right, and low and behold, he found out real quick why my arms gained muscle so fast. I was only doing 315 reps on just my biceps and triceps. Seems my 24 hours have 4 machines of each exercise of different makers. And yes, I was doing each of those machines… 15 reps x 3 on each machine. I skipped some cause it made me look sideways at them thinking they are the exact thing I was doing… just named slightly different. Hi, my name is Wendy Kittyinaz, and I have Blondes in my family tree, and I married a Polish man. Aforementioned Polish man chuckled, and told me no wonder I was gaining definition on my arms. :Head desk:
I am doing all this because I decided, life is just too short. I want to run again, and to do so I am working towards that goal. I want to feel better, so again, I am working towards it. Only I can change my life, and no one else can do it for me. It takes me an hour-hour and a half to work through it all, and I am proud of myself. I am eating healthier, and I am learning slowly how to do other things. But writing is my main focus, and after I get these lovely stories done, I will be working on my Original Fiction so I can start pushing it out there and see if I can work on getting it published. Well, let me correct that statement. I AM getting it published, just if it will be myself doing it or a publishing company will be the part I am still deciding on.
Also, the writing contest. It is open to anyone who wishes to enter. Sitalia25 asked me for an Angel, and I added Bella per her request. So now Bella is open for anyone to write on now. Just to clarify a question that has been asked many times in the chat, they have to be a character in one of my stories. What you do with them, is up to you. No, they don’t have to BE the character in the story. For instance Mommy4Thomas wrote one for Damon, and she did her own Damon. MissRon80 did her own take on Godric. It is all up to the writers. You just have to use a character from a story. If you have an idea, but don’t see an Angel for it yet, contact me on Facebook, or email the ladies. I will be happy to make one, and you owe me a story. That’s it. For more information, please click on the Bella Banner above. (Remember, you will be consulted on the pic, and the color of the wings and other stuff!)
Now for the fun part!
This weeks person I am going to honor? Kelpie!!!
This woman amazes me constantly. I was first introduced through her interviews on authors I read. I found her, was impressed with the get to know feature on her site. Then there is the Skarsporn Sundays. Such a treat!!! I went through her site, and she also writes!!! I even found a fellow writer who writes kinda like me and has many stories in her head all the time. She and I speak a lot on how stories seem to but themselves into our muses and we are stuck writing down ideas or even chapters.
Then, there was the offer when I mentioned I needed a beta for my Once Upon a Time fic, The Best is yet to Come. She told me she would, and soon had the story being handled. One thing I have learned, don’t ever beta your own work. Though there were two of us working on the fic, there were still errors. It happens. We were far more concerned with the story plot than making sure we followed all the rules. Missron80 tried, but hey.. I rather have the story.
Then there was a difference of opinion, and MissRon80 was no longer working with me. Kelpie stepped forward to work as my co-author on it. Holy cow. We are set to write one chapter a month, and we have stuck with that. But she pushes me all the time for the next chapter. She watches it with me… she instituted Wednesday with Colin pics. Yes. I love Captain Hook! Look, when 4Padfoot was playing around, she made me the pic below. And I found someone who loved him just as much! Not only does she love it, she enables me by sending out (me) pics every Wednesday. I look upon them as my reward for posting .
In addition, we were talking about warning buttons. And she made me some when I fell in love with hers.
Are they not awesome??? LMAO! Now to remember to use them!
She is a busy mother, and she still has the time to write, she encourages me to go to the gym with her own antics (And I have a look alike David Tenant there to drool over…) She brings a quick wit, and has no problems talking over anything. She has helped me with my new role as the interviewer of TB/SVM for the non-canon awards. She makes her own banners, and is willing to jump in and help any of us out on the group.
So.. Thanks Kelpie!! I appreciate you!!!
Videos.
Hmm here is a surprise. I made one. I had NO idea what I was doing, and somehow I mashed the right buttons and made something. No one was more surprised than me!!! After I did it, 4Padfoot helped me out and showed me some tricks, telling me to play to figure out what I want to do. I have the computer, I have the program, and hopefully I can make some videos for my stories. Hey. I am doing my banners!! Gyllene and 4Padfoot now are not bothered to make the easy stuff anymore. I ask them for the hard stuff now. LMAO!
Harry Potter Next Generation. If you go to the video on You Tube, she lists all the actors used. I found it because Andrew Lee Potts. And the scenes with him are from Primeval. LOL!
For those that watched True Blood, here is something to help wash that yucky flavor off your tongue.
Yes, it is the 4th of July. Yeah for America and Yeah for us declaring our Independence today!! Love it!! Truly!!
But Marty and I went to the gym, (and he showed me why I was gaining muscle so fast… seems I was an idiot and did the same exercises over and over and over… yeah. Idiot.) and we watched all the cars heading to Galveston Island. A LOT of cars.
My hubs and I decided that we would stay home. Part of the reason? Independence Day is a large part of his family’s celebrations, and we lost a huge member of that family. This year is just not feeling right knowing that Russ is not with us. So there is not as much fun to be had, and since we are the only Brandiburs here in Houston…yeah.
Later, Marty ran out of deodorant, so we went to Target, and while driving over I45, there were backups going as far as we could see – parking lot came to mind. Again, towards the beach at 4:30 in the afternoon.
I understand, I did it one year, the whole family went to the beach all day, played in the Gulf, and afterwards, watched the fireworks over the Gulf. Awesome. I have done it at Kemah, at Joe’s Crabshack, and again, awesome. Even better, cause I didn’t burn. I burn easily, no matter what I put on me. I tan afterwards, but I always burn. Hate it, and know how bad it is for me. 75spf? Nope. 100 spf? Did nada. If I am outside, I will burn. And I apply it religiously every hour.. Every 1/2 hour… nothing.
But I find myself now watching it all, and wondering, is everyone celebrating the holiday? Or the real reason for it? Have people forgotten that this was the day a colony took a brave step forward and told the strongest nation on earth at the time: We reject you!! We will do anything to have our freedom! We will fight, we will starve, die by frostbite, die with a grapeshot in our heart. We will suffer just to be free.
Think on it. Nobody had done anything like this yet. We were the first, and we won. We won by throwing away tactics that were making our soldiers die. Stand in a line and shoot at the other line. Then stand there as the other line took their shot at you?!?!?! Hell no! But they did. They did this multiple times. Before they remembered the French and Indian War and how guerrilla warfare worked. We used it against the British. Why? We were fighting for our rights as human beings, we were fighting for freedom. It meant enough to our forefathers to fight for it.
The British made it worse, and if they found you a rebel, they killed you as publicly as possible. They were trying to make people fear them, and instead, they made people hate them and join in the fight for what they want. They backed the Colonists into a corner. The backed a nation of people who had taken a chance to live here, in the unknown, to be far from safety. And you backed them into a corner using fear? Not likely!! They did what you would expect and rose up against their oppressors.
This is not the birth of our nation as most think. It instead is the birth of the idea of our nation. This was the day they said, “We will be FREE!”
This day was never to be a day for people to get drunk and party, especially with it being a three day weekend. No, this is a day we remember the sacrifices of our forefathers who made it possible for us to drink ourselves to a point that we can’t remember the night.
To this day and right this moment there are soldiers on the front lines, sleeping in sand, carrying weight that means the difference between living and dying, weight that no normal American would be able to carry nowadays. These soldiers will joke with themselves, going Happy 4th of July! to each other. And then go back to keeping an eye for the next person to try to kill them. They fight to keep us free, to give this wondrous gift of Freedom to others. They give of themselves so that we don’t have to.
Is it too much to thank a soldier? Just to go up to one and thank them? For a lot of you, yes. Think about it. That young man or woman is willing to DIE for you. They are our secret service. They will take a bullet for you. And nobody says thanks. You scorn them, you make fun of them. You pay them less than most of us make, and then demand that they get nothing when they return from seeing things that would make you sick.
Get real, people. I think it is shameful how we treat our military. No matter what you think, you should thank the person who made the sacrifice to put on the uniform and say, “I will give my life to protect this nation of ours. I will lay down my life so that the average Joe Smith can live his life how he wants it.” Seriously people. We fight in this nation over the stupidest things, and the important things are pushed under the rug to be ignored.
Ugh.
Take a moment, and thank one soldier to his face. Just one. Do this – tell them that you are thankful they made the sacrifice for your three day weekend. Tell them you are thankful that they did it so you don’t have to. Thank them.
And no, it aint no Camel day. No matter what GEICO tries to tell us. Nope. So…. Guess what? You get two updates today!!!! Anyone complaining? If so, direct all comments to… Never mind. Huge thanks to both Meridian and Mknue for betaing! Pick your poison that you wish to start off with.
Now for the updates of what is going on. Yes. I missed the Sunday post. I was ordered off the computer, not allowed to do anything on Sunday, and let me tell you, it was GLORIOUS! I actually took a nice nap, and got up to date on Chamber of Secrets so I can go back to writing my Harry Potter. Ideas are springing up everywhere. This has taught me the benefit of taking some time out for myself, so I will schedule the Sunday posts for you guys from now on. Which would be better since anything I hear of True Blood disgusts me right now to the point I want to go nowhere close to the computer or TV.
All I Want may.. MAY get another update this week. I am doing my edit thing, and I am in front of the beta. I am thinking that Monday’s will be a great day to update this fic. The tentative schedule being Mondays – All I Want, Wednesdays – I Never…Did and Fridays will be Heavenly (HP/Twilight). The other stories will be up for the Betas to decide on. Heavenly is still in the writing time, but I am thinking to finish it after I finish AIW, as well as some contest entries from friends that have them out there. I am thinking a one shot to be inserted somewhere also. Hey editing is NOT my favorite thing to do. But if I handed you guys the story without the edits, it would not be detailed, and my characters are cardboard cut outs talking to each other. Well, maybe not that bad anymore, but yes. When I write, I am doing a very rough draft.
After AIW is done editing, we have some short fics coming before I drift away to write. Oh yeah What If. The first half will be edited and then I will finish that one. Then work on my Original Fiction, then In The End.. and Edge. I have 8 stories in the works people. Let me write and you will get them sooner. IND will be worked on in spurts, that hopefully you will never see. If I get what I want, then you guys will get some truly epic stories done.
Just a reminder to let others know. This weeks AIW and IND will NOT be updated to FF, FictionPad and AO3 until next week. TWCS gets theirs earlier. Someone is nice to do it for me. Friends don’t let friends read a chapter behind!
Contest time!!!!
Yes, last month I know I opened it up to you guys late. However, you are getting this the second day of the month. Should be enough time to think up something. Here are the pics that are the prompt for this month:
I call them my Angels Through the Fire Series. Here is the deal:
This month the contest is to write a fic (One shot or it can be the beginning of a story, just indicate which) based on one of the pics up above. Here is the catch. If you have another character you would write on, ask me to render it for you. For instance, Kelpie wanted Hook, she got a say on the pic used, and what the wings will look like. However, she owes me a story for the contest. But once a character has been added, you are free to enter under that character. For more information as well as the rules, where to send the files and so on, click here. Remember, I gain nothing by this. I will be making the banners and so on, this is to help you guys.
Also, the Non-Canon awards has me interviewing people. I am still on Meridian, but we got a little more organized over there. Expect to see me at least on Tuesdays for sure. For the record, so far I reviewed 2 stories and some one shots, and in return, Meridian has turned one One-Shot to a story and updated the last story I reviewed, Decisions. Keep clicking on them to get more.
I can’t forget the Amazon, since really guys, clicking though it does everything for me, and may give you additional discounts for using it. It costs you nothing, and if you bookmark the page after you go through my link, it will always give credit. I hate bringing this up, but when I stopped, the sales went way down. So thanks for helping contribute to the site by doing nothing but using the link and buying what you would normally do through Amazon. For more information, click on the Amazon banner on the side menu.
Expect things to change, I am getting bored of the side menu content, and I like the look of pictures more. I already changed some stuff, so expect there to be more.
I can’t think of anything else right now.. Oh yeah. While I was busy writing this, the Facebook group has been clicking away at the stories. I replaced the words on the side menu with a banner for you to click and it will take you to the group. Join, and you can get special advance notice when chapters will be posted, as well teasers. For instance, last night they were treated to a teaser from next week’s chapter for AIW. Just saying…
I know you guys love this day more than any other. It is the start of a posting week for me, so it is when all you loyal followers of the site get the new chapters. Aint life grand being a follower of this site?
I am right now working on getting all the chapters I have for this story edited, so I can work on AIW faster. Then I can write more and edit more on this then move on to Wisdom and so on. Yes this is a WIP fic and will be written on it. It’s just getting started people.
I am also rereading Chamber of Secrets so I can move forward on the HP fic. I do it at the gym since it is the only time I can read without being bothered. Well mostly. I have to go early tomorrow since I have to drive on the other side of Houston, to a town called Katy. An hour to two hours drive. All to see a doctor.
I am moving forward with getting stuff done, looking forward to the next writing period. I have my betas staring up with requests for their favorites to be updated. And they know how to push the buttons.
Ok some housekeeping stuff. Amazon. If you buy through Amazon, save the link in the pages. AS long as you use that as your gateway into the site, it will give me credit. Save it as your link to Amazon instead of the old one. It costs you nothing, and is giving me credit for you using my link as your gateway. they pay me for referring you to them. Nothing more nothing less. Buying a Kindle book? Yep go through the link. It all adds up and helps support this site. I pay for all this out of my own pocket. It may not seem like much to you, but for us it is a huge deal.
The Kill Bill 2 contest is wrapping up this week. Friday is the last day, so read those stories and VOTE!!! The vote is on the side also to make it easy. You can only vote once, but that makes each and everyone of them count more. This is NOT a popularity contest, so the names are withheld. Vote for the story you like best. Winners will be announced on Saturday.
The writing challenges are for your benefit. Not mine. I make all the banners now, I have to read the stories so I can get the banners right. Robin sets up the links, as well as make the voting polls. There is nothing in this for me, but I do them to help people realize they can write, to make that first time hitting publish easier on them. Or maybe you have writers block? This month I am going to try something, and I will post the information for the contest on the page early. You can submit your entries to the kittyinazwritingchallenges@gmail.com. Its new so no worries for any transferring this month. The other email is still checked. Click on the above banner to be taken to the guidelines and prompts for this month.
Thanks for all the reviews on All I Want!! My betas are also enjoying it, they were shocked since the new chapter that you guys got was much bigger than the original.
Now.. I think I have let you guys read enough. I am off to go back to editing, and using the reviews you send me to inspire the next chapters.
Ok.. Last night was BAD!!! We all know this. Luckily, I have had this fix in my files to be done for the last who knows how many months. I started to work on it, and we have the first chapter ready now.
Learn to Love Trilogy
What if two people make a wish at the same exact second, and at that second, is between life and death. What if that wish was granted and they find themselves with the chance to make it all right, to fix everything that had happened. This is that Chance.
Pairing? E/S/G (Yes, another one.)
This is a trilogy, and the first story is complete. I am editing it, and sending it off to the Beta, who is Mknue.
This picks up at the end of season 6. It was inspired by a video that is embedded in the home page. Click below to go to the first Chapter
Many thanks to Gyllene for her banner making and for helping to get this ready, as well as Mknue, Meridian and Bertie Bott. Now go off to read!
According to sources, catchy titles is the way to get attention around here. I’m trying it, but I can’t see why. I am also told that Neat Gif’s so it too. So I chose the gif to go with the video theme tonight.
What is going on in the world of Kittyinaz. I have been working on those Interviews and reviews. I am still on Meridian, and will be reviewing her stories until I am done there then move on to the next author on the list.
I am also working on my database of stories for us to update the Rec list. I was going to use sites like An Teaspoon and an Open Mind, but their way of posting things made it so difficult to get the information I needed it was not worth it. Dokuga is working fine, and so forth, so when I can, I will get everything updated. Right now, I am only adding the outside sites, and what is on my site already. When I am done, I will make the forms and such, then go into FanFiction and add the newbies.
I am also working on editing. The only two stories that will be written on is IND and Heavenly (Harry Potter Fic). I am trying to reread Chamber of secrets since my story starts off in there and manages to starts fixing stuff all over the place. It’s interesting to my group who has had a sneak peak in each chapter. WE started a suitor thread in there, and they have managed to add Dobby into the loop. Not too sure, but I have said I would add anyone with a request and a second…
All I Want, my version of fixing the mess is with the Beta for the first Chapter. Once I am done with that I will be moving on to the next one and so on. Remember Weekly Updates start for me on Wednesdays. And then the following Wednesdays, the stories are going to be added to the other sites. FanFiction is going to be eased out the door. They are getting stupid there.
I have been kept updated by Mistress Jessica on what is going on in TB, and so far, I am so not feeling it. Quite blankly, it sucks. How sad is it I am glad I write FanFiction and can my little shipper heart to happier worlds. But I will say, that both the show and books like to screw over the majority of their fans. However, it makes that we are now one of the few fandoms that the main pairing that is written about is considered Non-canon! Hey.. I try to look for silver linings.
I am very tired today but I have finished week 2 of the couch potato to 5k. I am, per doctors orders having to do the first month on the bicycle. When I complete week 4, I will be moving on to the elliptical and will be working to be running 20 minutes every other day. I am also working on weights for the upper body, and let me tell you. While NOT being sore from the Couch potato to 5k part, the weights are kicking my ass. But I will persevere and I will be at this time next year a totally different person.
My sleeping issues are still there but I am slowly bringing them under control. I have a sleeping monitor device through my iPhone and funnily enough, working out does not affect me that way. There is no difference between working out and not. However, there is a difference if I write or not. So again, my brain rules my body. Anyone shocked? I’m not.
Ok. So you know how people complain on writers block? I complain on editing. I can write anytime, but I cannot Edit anytime. But I will work through it and hopefully repetition will get it in the right set up in my mind..
I will do the person of the week again starting next week. The bullshit that is True Blood has sapped my happiness.
But I will do videos on the hope it cheers all of us up.
The first one is a FanFiction made one by TwistedWhiteWolf
I have read this, and I love it. I am hoping that you guys will read it, and will encourage her to finish writing the series… She gave me Alex as Caius… And inspired Points of Authority and it’s more in-depth counterpart, Wisdom, Justice and Love.
Ok. That made it where I thought of the theme for today. Alexander Skarsgard. He was missing today in action, so we will do videos that have him in them!
