I know it has been awhile, but hey, Real Life comes first for my betas. And unfortunately for me too. Poor Connor has been walking with me to bed and back. I think I have exhausted him with as many trips I have been making!
Now that I got your attention, here is what is going on:
I should be taking a sick day, but the Eric/Bella story if pushing its way through and I typed up 3 chapters yesterday, and one earlier. So it is coming pretty quick, and while I was thinking a one shot story Meridian has managed to coax more stories out of it. Blame her.
When I am done, I wanted to work on the Twilight one that this one interrupted, but I think I will edit two (2) new stories to get them to the betas and allow them to post. Less chance of Real Life coming up from behind and attacking us. Not promising anything, cause it seems if something attacks one of us, it soon catches the rest of us. We have no idea, since we should be safe spread out through out the world, but it never fails.
News and updates to the site. Big news to BertieBott and I, we will be traveling to meet each other and Ian at the Vampire Diaries in Las Vegas in Sept. There is a countdown on both of our sites, both of us thrilled. If you wish to join up with us, hurry up and get those tickets!! They are moving fast.
Our WordPress Whisperer has been creeping behind me on silent feet and doing fun stuff to my pages. I put up the new Eric/Bella (Note I will never do a Edward and Bella story, E/B is Eric/Bella) story so I can save my drafts on this site as normal. I also have been adding characters as I think them up on the Character page. Low and behold me coming on to find I have slideshows showing off Eric, MY Bella, and Godric. I know she has done more, and I just haven’t stumbled on it.
MissRon80 has somehow kept up on my demand for pics for all the new characters. Not too sure how she does it, but Wow!
I also have been sharing those updates I get for stories, to let you guys know there are some awesome writers out there. Sadly, not a lot of them are on WordPress, and even when they are, it takes me being on the computer. My iPad hates WordPress sign on. Or WordPress signon hates my iPad.
There is a new writing contests up on the Kittyinaz Facebook page. You are more than welcome to join and participate, as well getting little teasers (Like the entire list of pics for Clocks) and anything else I am working on.
I have not been good even on my Tea Blog, or the Food Blog. All I can tell you is whatever I have, is exhausting. But my brain is stronger and won’t let me stop writing. So I doing as the current song I am writing to says, keeping my head up, moving on. As soon as we can get stuff up we will, but like I said above, RL takes precedence. Its even in the Beta Rules!!! Also, as you can see, I am cranking out chapters and new stories. If you wish to join us, email us at Kittysbetas@gmail.com. Or notify Meridian on Facebook. We are always looking for betas, and you just have to have the will to try. you will be put with a beta who knows the ropes and willing to help you. Betaing isn’t a race, and it is why when I do edit a story for being posted, I try to edit it all at once, to give the betas a chance to work on them and publish when they feel comfortable.
So keep an eye out, and as soon as I can finish this one, a bunch of stories will be heading your way, hopefully allowing me to finish others, and get my own fic on the way.
Yep, we have finished our first contest for the Kittyinaz Writing Contest. And with the votes totaling over 1,300 votes, well what can I say??? the hits on the site for the days they were up showed you supported your group, reading the stories, sometimes more than once!!!
Missron80 did such an awesome job with both sets of Banners, I am going to show them both off!
Also, the results from Damon spilling the beans of the next story in my head, the voting for the next pairing is also done. That one had over 1,100 votes! The results are as follows:
Over 500 Eric/Bella (Already writing it)
Over 400 Damon/Bella (Have one in the works)
Over 100 Elijah/Bella (This one threw me but I will see what I can do later….)
The under a hundred are :Klaus/Bella Godric/Bella, Other and Alice/Hatter. Other included a request for Connor and his squeaky toy which amused me!
So off to write, until I go off to IKEA to finish my side of the room. Boxes and frames. And tomorrow grocery shopping. Oh yeah…………………..
Enjoy, and there is teaser stuff up for the new story. Good luck in hunting it down!
That’s right! It’s me Bertie Bott and I’ve got another story update for you fine readers… Chapter 9 for “A Twilighted Tea Shoppe” is up and running. Be sure to give it a read and let our favorite author know how much we love her!
A couple reminders: the February Writing Challenge is still open for votes – it is such a close one, so be sure to get your votes in before the 12th; the food blog is still filled with tasty yummies so check it out; and please make sure you use the beta email for story corrections ONLY as Wendy does not have access to it and will not see any reviews sent there.
As always, it’s a pleasure ‘talking’ with you all – happy reading!
…That’s right! Bertie Bott here with a new chapter of Wendy’s super awesome story, “Tea Shoppe.” Please give it a read and don’t forget to review 🙂
As I’m sure you noticed, there’s tons of fun stuff happening in Kittyinaz land right now. We have her February Writing Challenge with one-shots waiting for your vote. I have it on good authority that it’s a close race and now that the ever wonderful 4Padfoot has made it so we can vote more than once, I’m predicting an even closer finish so be sure to vote and vote again for your favorites!
We also have a hilarious interview with the dapper young gentleman Damon Salvatore up! It quite literally made me laugh out loud and I know you’ll enjoy it too so check it out. The food blog is filled with even more tasty treats and tips (as if that were possible!) and we betas are still keeping tack of our email (kittysbetas@gmail.com) for any missed mistakes you may find…
That about does it for me, and please don’t forget: read, review, and vote. Happy weekend to you all!
Yeah, I know it took me a long time. But dammit when he got here he was snarky and a pain in the ass. And by the time he let me get back to it… ::huffs::
However, it was fun. I think you guy will see how alive my characters are to me, and how they can take over the story. Now, there is a surprise that Damon sussed out, and I have the couple in mind, I am seeing what you guys come up with.
The Food Blog is getting a visual change, but I will let the ladies tell you about that when they are done. Let’s say that their talking back and forth was enough to wake me up after my phone got off night mode. Which I am thanking God I have it to 10am on Weekends.
I am not sure if I am going to be on the computer much more, I have already been asked to go with my mom to the mall. She is also all excited because she got all my old work clothes. I don’t need them, and it took me a long time to build them up, so I will let her have what she wants, and make her feel better.
So polls galore, there is the Banner challenge up on the group, for the April Banner for the page. And/or a story. Whichever. Just enjoy the linking, don’t forget to click on my amazon link for sales, and use the links to buy stuff. You guys are really helping to pay for this site, and extras are coming out of the woodworks for it!
I know it has been awhile for postings, but we have been busy. Unfortunately, the beta in charge of the anticipated story is not ready for posting, and no pressuring to her!! She needs her rest!!!
However… Over in the Kittyinaz Facebook group, a group of ladies had been talking about how they are wanting to know more about writing or was having writers block. We try to help our ladies out, and talked with them over different ideas to help them out. If you don’t know me on Facebook, I have a huge wall, and I go through it often. As I go through it, I share the stuff I find on my wall, share our favorite actors, and jokes on the Kittyinaz or my wall. One day I found this perfect picture that literally inspired me with a look.
So… I made a challenge. I am always looking for ways to get the ladies involved with the group, and this one post inspired some of the longest conversations and people wanting to write. We got five submissions, and hope that the next one (The contests will be posted in the group only, then posted here for voting) will have more. We have an awesome Banner that Sharon made for those that participated.
Now, for your part. I have posted each of the stories, without the authors names, so there is no favoritism nor any idea of who wrote what, and you, my beloved readers, get to go out there and vote. I will leave the voting open until March 12th, 2014. Why that date? Well, it is so this contest can be wrapped up with the Banner one on the site, so I can get out the one for the next writers challenge. If you want to participate, you have to join to see what it is. We also want to get the Banners done for the winners, and get the authors credited on the stories.
This is something I am really loving, encouraging others to write. To draw. To make banners, to get that degree or whatever your dream is. Life is too short not to do something you love. Thanks to your support I am able to write, and I thank each and everyone of you! Now encourage others, by clicking the above pic to be taken to the title page of the contest, and Vote!!! (Its on the title page for 02/2014 contest.)
Other changes, Robin, our awesome WordPress Whisperer, and I had a meeting the other day. The results of this meeting is that we have added or will be adding some more pluses to the site. We have stories to add to the recs, and since we are not seeing many of you using the Blogs I love, we are going to have a rotating banner for each category in the Stories I love that fall under that author. More ways for you to find other authors and stories. Crossovers are getting to be big, and we are adding more to that. If anyone out there has a site, and is writing, TELL ME!! I support all the authors I can, which is why we have the rec page. We have also added more to the Amazon page, including a Recommend list that I show you guys what I like on Amazon.
I ma now committed to writing a bi-weekly blog on the Food Blog, that has to do with my menus I come up with. From what I am guessing, the ladies are still getting their feet under them, but they are linking the recipes as I mention them in the blogs. I also list money saving ways (That are not coupon hungry since I do NOT have a printer that likes my computer, and I refuse to buy the newspaper.) so my ways of saving money are from deals I spot. Nothing more. I also have a working budget of $300 for food biweekly. So it’s.. interesting.
Now I am off to try to finish the Twilight story I am working on, then Working on the MamaKitty story. (P.S. She is working on her first story, and she is posting it on WordPress, Its www.MamaKittyInAz.wordpress.com Go look and encourage her!!). I also need to work on my original so I can work with it and see about the next step. But there are chapters to come for You’re. And once I am done, I will have a lot to edit and get out there for you guys before I run off to write.
So go enjoy the short stories. When I get a chance, I have a Damon Interview coming your way for You’re and the Character Bios. I am behind. I know. I am trying not to stress!
Hello all! It is Robin posting today! I am posting a video for everyone to enjoy. At least I hope you enjoy it.
This challenge started with a simple video link entitled Top 10 TV Vampires that Wendy dropped into our Facebook group. (If you are not a member you should request membership and join us in all the shenanigans we get into click the link on the right!) But believe me you don’t want to watch the video Wendy found. It is 10 minutes you will never get back. This video required some people to use Brain bleach as it posted vampires such as The Count (yes, off Sesame Street), Marceline from Adventure time and then Bill was listed as the top 10 HOT vampires. But I get off topic. So the rants began. We took a vote of our own and the video below is what we have tallied. So kick back grab a drink and some popcorn and sit back and ENJOY!!
