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!
So all I have been hearing about is how Brian is all upset since he doesn’t feel he could have a cliff hanger on if Eric died or not.
Well, WAKE UP!!! You could have done it, held the information. Supernatural does it, most TV shows do. The Vampire Diaries did it with their star, Elena! If you didn’t want to spill, you didn’t have to. I, for one, am tired of you crying about how unfair it is.
Yes, fans were upset, including me. Was I glad to get the information? Well, hell yes! But what I held out was hope since you guys didn’t show the gory end like you normally do.
As for the Sookie/Eric Romance. Well hell yes I want that! Anyone who knows me, knows I ship it! But they also know I ship Hook/Emma in Once Upon a Time and that is unclear. I also ship Jasper/Bella and we know that is never going to happen. It’s why I write and read fanfiction.
Now for why I watch True Blood? Hope for that romance. Bill and Sookie is dead folks. He is bad for her, and we all know it. All you will be doing is making people boo and hiss. Yes, in this universe, he does not rape her, but damn, he did everything else!
And how you are painting Sookie? A whore basically. I loved the beginning of the season and how strong she was. Stephen Moyer did an excellent job of doing the first episode and it gave us a fond hope for them. But then you trashed that. Thanks. Really. (Don’t you wish there is a sarcastic font?)
But you guys needs to have some continuity writers. Or editors. I have a team. And no one but them knows what is going on, but they are careful with my stuff. It don’t take much. I know of thousands of fans who would volunteer to do it for you guys. Shit, we do anyways!!
So all in all, please shut up with the whole, I wish I could have kept the Eric living secret. You could have. It’s no different from all the fans who usually lash out when there is a cliffy season ending. You may have been ‘shocked’ but truly? Eric is a fan favorite. Has been. And voting going on ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE, shows this. So shut up, wake up, and stop whining. Please.
And if you can do the shocking thing and give us an Eric/Sookie happy relationship? We would love it. WE sure as hell expect that you won’t since you never do the thing to make the fans happy. Bill not being dead is a sure sign of it. And if you need fun ways to Kill Bill? Well, I have a lot of friends and fans who would volunteer their ideas. Just saying.
I just wanted to let you guys know I am working away over here. I had been abandoned by those wonderful muses for the stories you guys love for a couple of months. They are creeping back. Slowly. My Muses are being sassy when they walk back in too.
For those who are interested in my Original Fiction, well, there are connections being made all over the place. I have most of it planned out. And I am excited since a lot of the favorites will be there, changed big time, but the stories will be there.
Thanks to all the well wishes. I have you know, Meridian, my Beta of the ED story, came up with a wonderful idea. She thought since I was upset, and not able to write the morning after scene for the mating in ED, that a new story would help. All that research and such. My mouth and body said, NO!
My brain on the other hand, thought over it, and without informing the rest of me, came up with a story. Then it brought up a story idea that I thought up three years ago, and have been unable to 1) write it, not finding a story I want to make AH for it. 2) It is full of heartbreak at the beginning, actually having a lesson in it. I know, a moral story!!!! But it merged the stories and presented it to me.
Then as I cussed out Meridian, and MissRissa81 as they agreed with the know-it-all muse, and loved it, my brain, aka bitch of a muse, continued to mess with the story, all without my agreement. I wrote the prologue on the female side, then introduced our major hero in the next short chapter that is also a prologue of sorts. I wrote another chapter, that had me boohooing, and then it all solidified. Yep the bitch is sitting there in my head laughing all the way as she tells me what to write. But MissRissa81 tells me I am not crazy, even with all the muses in my head. I am starting to think we need a second opinion.
This is another Damon/Bella story. It ties directly to the Brotherhood universe. It also features a Damon much like the book version. But still played by Ian, because, hey, its Ian! And if you are a member of my Facebook group, then you know how much I love Ian.
There is a huge cast for this. This is Bella in name only, she is going to have her life ripped up from birth on, so don’t expect that Twilight Bella. Nope, this one will have a new life, and the only reason I don’t want to bother with an OC, is that I will have to make up a life for my female lead later that will explain how ripped up her original life is from the current version. The more I can change, the better off I will be with no pleas of me using other’s characters.
If you wish to put in your two cents, go to the Facebook Group and let us hear about it. Right now there is ranting and raving going on about a certain show’s finale last night, but there is an album showing characters picked out, and a chat going on about what is going on in my mind.
I will say, that I am writing. I was left in a room all by myself for a couple months all because I wanted to finish a fic, I had no muses in residence. Taught me a valuable lesson. Unless people feed the muses, they get persnickety and refuse to work. I think MissRissa81 told me she offered her soul for this story.
So I am working, and writing, when I am not ranting and raving over a show. Chapters take about a full day for each. And that is not counting the editing and all that fun. I wanted to finish ED before I edited it and let you guys enjoy a finished book. Before I started on the next. Along with the end of this bo0k of You’re. I’ll get there. I also need to work a day or two on Brotherhood, so my hubby will allow me to keep writing for you guys too. Though it helps, I did get another whiteboard, and with colored markers, showed how they stories intersect. Let’s just say after he watched me put it together after a couple of hours, he decided to leave me alone to it.
I am also trying not to burn out working on the stories all the time. I am trying to find a balance. My beta’s can tell you I am working on the stories, and Soon will be sliding back into publishing them again. If you have favorites, review and help encourage the muses. I give up on forcing them to work. They suck. Truly.
Hope you like the update. I wanted to let you guys know what is going on, and your outpourings of sympathy helped. The author had pulled the stories, and apologized to me. SO, no more hating the author.
I am really upset and pissed off. And feeling so betrayed at this moment it is hard to work around it.
For my stories, I spend HOURS researching and writing for one chapter. Then I go back over the chapters and edit them, sometimes adding thousands of words. Then there is all the time I spend on here adding pics and letting it look good. This is all BEFORE I even hand the story over to the betas.
Yes, I spend a lot of time on them. I also read a lot of fanfiction. And I can certainly understand if someone’s story inspires their own. It’s just going to happen. It’s life! Shoot, What If is a direct example of this. And because of this, I went to the author and told her my plans (even though they didn’t go that way) and we spent hours talking about it. She gave me permission, and even when it went off the script that we talked about, it still wasn’t her story and she knows all about it. I talk to her, and fully support her try to break out to the Writing industry. If she asks me to ever pull the story, well I would talk to her, but I would pull it. Its courtesy.
All I ask is the same courtesy. If my stories inspire one of yours, then please ask me if you can use the idea behind it. I’m pretty sure I would approve, I can’t guarantee, but I will tell you why if I can’t. But to be off reading while I am relaxing and finding one of your stories out there under someone else’s name? No. That felt like betrayal. It hurt.
It also made me consider what one of my betas said about locking stories. But I decided not to do it. This is fanfiction. We write our own stories based on the stories out there. As long as I am writing on that, I cannot say I will lock them. But my Original Fiction? Yeah that baby is locked up tight. And soon will be going through its own purge if there are people approved to read it who are not reviewing. Not every chapter, but at least something! I am asking for feedback so that when I go back and do the edit process, I can fix anything that needs to be fixed.
So the meaning of this message? Is that I am hurt, betrayed, and upset. Someone took something that literally has been a work on my part of hours, and on this particular story, no less than four of my betas have helped me look up details and such. Not to mention the Beta who works on it. She gives her time, but I admit it ain’t easy to make my work look like it does. It is a reason I have Betas folks. It was their time as well as mine stolen. Time I give up to get the experience to write, and to give you guys the stories, time that they give unselfishly to make sure it looks good. And all they get for a reward is access to the rest of my stories to read ahead. Nothing else. I get the reward of making some awesome friends in here, my group and my betas. And not a penny more. Ask my Husband. He can tell you all about it. In detail.
I have been hurt by demands for stories, when people don’t realize how much time I use to write this. I have no life. And with the help of my betas, they convinced me to relax. Because of this I am working actively on ED, and am moving forward in the story in leaps and bounds without losing anything you guys like. I am not putting in place holders to please fans, no instead, I am writing the story. I plan on finishing this and You’re before I go back to publishing. This way we all will have the updates and you guys keep me inspired and more importantly, my muse. She is a hungry, mean, bitch. And if I don’t write what she wants me to write, she leaves.
Thank you for listening to my rant. It makes me feel better to get this off my chest. I cannot explain how hurt I am by this betrayal.
Yep, the awesome beta, TheWriteAshley strikes again!!! In a short time after I send her the note saying I put up this chapter for her to look over when she gets time, she is off and telling me it is posted and done.
And, then, she posts the pimping chapter thingy to Facebook. Awesomesauce!!!
The pimping out thing? Well I have all my people I can catch pimped out on there. If they don’t pimp themselves out, then I go out and pimp them myself. Should I be buying a purple pimp suit here?
Anywho, I am off to post the new chapters to Twilighted Tea Shoppe so when the next Tea Shoppe goes out, they will be ready and waiting.
Enjoy the chapter. And for those wondering, TTS is Tea Shoppe redone to thumb my nose at Twilighted who refused ALL my attempts to post this and others to their site. So there. LOL
And me posting this? Well, who wouldn’t want to stare at Ryan Reynolds each time they pulled up their site??
Yep you heard it right. Tea Shoppe Chapter 3 is Published. Which for those of you in the know, means Twilighted Tea Shoppe is going to be published soon.
Alright, some changed that are going on. This was written in past tense, and my awesome Beta, Faeregina, is going through and changing them to current tense for me. Why? Cause it is one of the problems I have been having in writing the current chapters.
Also, when we are all done and caught up, there will be one additional chapter to WordPress than FanFiction. I wrote a One Shot for this fic in my Songs for Alice that was moved over as one shots. For here, I added it where it would have gone in the fic.
I will also be replacing chapters soon in Tea Shoppe so it will in compliance with the ratings Nazi’s that like to take down stories. Once I start publishing in it again, it may come under their radar, and this is one lemonific story! But I will not remove anything that has not been posted here.
For those that have been wanting your stories to be updated, well, my frustration over not being able to get David’s voice right is working in your favor. I am currently reading California Kat‘s Back and Forth Series. (If you go to her site, (Her stories are awesome!) tell her I sent you!) When I am done with that and a couple one shots, I will be working on rereading my stories. Then working on them. They will be like Tea Shoppe, updated by the Betas when they get a chance, but no more than once a week. (Tea Shoppe may be done sooner but that is because my beta is trying to get to the point she can help me out!)
Also, I need reviews to encourage me for this story!!! So, help!!!!
Enjoy the chapter. And remember, this is so AU that the only thing you might miss is a couple of inside jokes, the rest needs no back story knowledge.
We just finished the Kill Bill Contest Volume One contest over on the Facebook group and the voting ended last night.
MissRon80 won the contest. Unfortunately, I have no Banner to give her since she IS my banner maker. LMAO!!!
But I have added the entries into my WordPress site and they are here for you to read. As always, click on Bill to be taken to the page that lists the entries.
As for Volume Two of the contest? Well, we will see when everyone is up for it.
Also an update for my readers, I am still trying to get Tea Shoppe done. I know you guys are wanting updates, but when I go to do updates, they will be by story, and frankly I will be rereading the stories to make sure I won’t forget anything before I do massive updates on them. After I am updating all BUT What If, I will go back and edit them, sending them to the betas with the rule of no more updated than once a week. Then I will settle down, reread What If and finish that story.
I know this has been longer than anyone has imagined. But I did NOT expect to get so sick, then Marty getting REALLY sick, not to mention my grandmother and so on. It really has been an unlucky year for all of us. So take a deep breathe, read my Beta’s work since I am giving them free time.
As for Brotherhood, that is a whole other story. I have to finish the rough draft before the end of the year. Only pre-readers who review, (and yes when I get a chance I will check who all is able to get in and the reviews…) are allowed to read it. I am working towards publishing it, so I value the input of the readers for when I am done with the rough draft and go back to work on the chapters, seeing what I need to add to them.
So be patient, read the entries for Kill Bill, read my Betas… (Sitalia25, Meridian, Magsmacdonald, Zabby Perno and Thewriteashley) who are listed on the side. Their names listed under the Beta banner link back to their sites. And I will be working on my 2nd story and give the readers an ending that they have waited over three years for. A month or two is not too long for you guys to give them that is it?
I know I have been out of it, the same old as usual, not feeling good. I am as sick of it as you guys are. BUT!!!
My Beta, BertieBottWrites, is also writing a Bella/Damon story that is nothing short of awesome! So read her, while you wait for me….
Enjoy!!
Hopefully next week I am still feeling better, and I will be working on another chapter of Brotherhood, then diving into Tea Shoppe. If you are curious, I have a teaser up in the Facebook group!
