Just a note

Just to let you guys know, I am going through all my old chapters and such to make sure I have answered all the reviews.  I am still having slight problems with this site, and haven’t noticed the ones from earlier chapters.  So don’t get surprised to get an answer this late!!! I really love all the reviews and try to leave a message letting you guys know that.

Since I am having all this fun, I figured I will leave another video for you to watch.  This one I believe is the video of the week for one of the WordPress sites…

Close!!!

Well, we reached over 700 in one day.  Maybe next time.  =o)  I was cruising You Tube looking for inspiration, since that is what I do to find new music and to keep up on stuff, and low and behold, I find this video.  It has the name of the fic in it.  Now this has NOTHING to do with my fic, but I loved the fact that it had the song that somehow inspires this whole thing.  And no it aint a bad ending, just says what I think this story will tell.  Now no more than that but here is the video: (If it doesn’t work the link is below the box)

Yes!!!!

Ok all the chapters for What If and In The End have been updated with their Previous/Next in case you wish to read it that way.

Also, I got it to take all the characters in the In The End character list!!!

In The End Character List

The current chapter is all that is left to guess on who Ian will be.  He will be named next chapter.  So one week guys!!!  There is a baddie listed there that will be named in a few chapters.  And of course I reserve the right to move characters around all I like.  I added Leigh in there, she will be completely different than you guys will know, and she is out of my head.  I am looking forward for you guys to meet her.  So please, go visit and have fun with my characters, and I hope that the Previous/Next will help.

I do plan to get rid of all that long list on the side unless I am told otherwise.  I rather only list the names of the stories, since I am cross linking the chapters to the main page as a kinda Table of Contents, except that these pages will contain Character Lists and Songlists and anything else pertaining to the stories.

Enjoy, and I found a hilarious GIF for you (Now I found these work).  For some of you, you can remember the Old Spice commercial I love of Andrew Lee Potts.  When we get a chapter to update with him in it, I will put it in.  It cracked me up!!!!

Oh Yeah, My beta, being the wonderful person she is went back and beta’d Chapter 4 of What If.

A New Chapter for In The End

Yep, it’s that favorite time of the week, where Wendy gets her butt moving and updates this story for you guys. And I am trying a Gif for the first time so let me know what you think!!  LOL!!! I have been working on the website, and have been trying to add all the fancy Next/Previous and am currently working on In The End.  So some chapters you will see the fancy stuff, others you won’t.  Also I have you guys know, this is one of the few chapters I LOVE the last line.  It determined the stopping point cause there was nothing to say directly after it.

Chapter 10

If you haven’t heard, In The End has an official Banner!!! Thanks to Mavrosal for taking the time to make me it!!! I LOVE it and am so excited that someone took the time to make one for me.  Great way to make my day!!
In The End Banner and Page

From here on out, it gets mouthy, since I am in a good mood.

I don’t do the photoshop thing since I can QUITE easily see it taking me away from writing for a while to play with.  Not something I want to do right now.

Great news for those that are wondering, I am flying through this story.  I had entertained the idea of maybe doing this as a series, but my hubby convinced me not to.  He commented that it was not going to follow the series soon, so how would I divide it up after that?  So, we will keep going unless you guys want me to cut it up.  I will tell you now, if I do, unlike other stories, this will continue the lyrics of the song for the names of the sequels.  This song just set me off and still does when I hear it.  So a chapter was written in one night, quite large.  And as soon as I get settled with the Next and Previous stuff, I will be writing again.

My hubby is helping me find a new computer so soon I won’t ::crossing fingers:: have to deal with the garbage of waiting for 15 minutes for me to get to the posting page to post this.  And dual monitors… Oh boy!!!

To help me keep happy (not).  My email was hacked today.  I was out shopping for that new computer so we have a closer idea of what I want, and wham it was hacked.  I fixed it when I got home, but for any I have email addresses for, Sorry.  It took them 15+ years to do it, so I guess I was lucky!

Just some heads up, I will be adding a page for favorites.  Actually I have done it, But I think once I get serious on it, I will make it a little more fancy and separate the favorites into separate pages for each genre.  Except TB and SS.  They will just tell you what grouping it is.  I was asked for it, and it will keep it all on track for me since I lost some of my favorite writers because of the whole Fanfiction escapade.  And some of their sites don’t send out alerts.  bleh.

Enjoy the chapter, maybe we will bust the 934 high count I have on this site so far on one day, it will be a thrill for sure!!  And Fanfiction is not going to get there’s until later tonight.  I don’t know how close this chapter is walking on the line… Stupid rules.  And since ANOTHER writer of mine got taken away, I am still taking them seriously.

Enjoy!!! ~Wendy

In The End Banner!!

In The End now has a Banner courtesy of Mavrosal!!!!!!http://mavrosal.wordpress.com/

She does awesome work, and gifted me with this one.  I am so excited to have a Banner made for one of my stories, and to have one of my favorite Authors do it?  I am thrilled!!!

Thanks to all my readers,  I appreciate again all the support you guys have given.  As I can, I am working on this.  I have some frustrations, like WordPress erasing all the baddies in my Character List, but presents like this make me thrilled!!!

Thanks again Mavrosal!!!!!!!!

Good and Bad News

Well I have good and bad news.  I worked and finished the Character List for In The End.

That’s the Good news.

The bad news is that it erased all my work after Ian.  Which were the bad guys.  So I will take a deep breath and will try again for tomorrow.  If you want to peek and see some of the new people… the link follows.

Character List

For now, I am going to think on what I want to do next.  I’m thinking of working on all these In The End Chapters and get them caught up on the Next/Previous and get the In The End page have all the chapter links.  Now please do remember, I cannot add a previous or next to pages until they are published.  The link for them will not work until then, so it’s a mess.  But I will work on it.  Enjoy the guesswork.  And if I can tonight, I will try to add the four baddies on the list.  And just to let you know, one of those baddies is the Rattrays, two you know, and one of those two have been introduced!  So get guessing!!!

Update and New Chapter for What If

Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks again for all the kind words and, well everything. I am managing to move on and even though things are not the greatest, it is getting better.

First, update about me and the fun we are having:

My Hubby has told me we can get a puppy, since no one in the house seems as easy as we were with Bear, even though he was pratcially deaf. But he was very active and fiercly loving and guarding of me. Right now, I admit I am not easy in the house and often get up and check to make sure windows are locked and so are doors.

So, I guess after a talk with everyone in the house, the decision was to get me a puppy. I choose, but whatever I choose needs to be ok’d by everyone and finally by my hubby. I have looked at Siberian Huskies (Which Dodger, my hubby’s dog was) but while everyone likes them, they are not to keen on the idea of having to make the backyard a fortress since huskies like to escape. My second dog was a mountain dog, loved everything about them, then got to life expectancy, and 7-9 is too short. So I declined that one. My mom suggested Belgium Sheppard’s, particularly the Malinois. I liked the dog, my hubby was not too keen on it. Something about it he just didn’t like.

Then the other day I saw a Golden Retriever, and I mentioned it. Everyone loved the idea, finding out from my parents that the wanted one, but never got the chance. My hubby didn’t like the puppy I picked out, but that was because he was a silver. And he thought it was albino. He soon found out that white/Soft golden/Silver whatever you would like to call them, is normal for the breed. So it sounds like now we need to wait to find one that isn’t $1200! I find them, but they are taken pretty quick. So since I am still looking for a job, that is another reason we are looking for one so quickly. It will be better on all of us if I am home with the puppy at first.

No we are not trying to replace Bear, there is nothing that can. But my family has always have dogs, and it feels so odd not to have one. Plus the cats are getting uppity, specially miss prissy princess Morgan. I think I will teach the puppy that it is a great thing to chase them. hehehehe. Hey! They chased Bear, and he had a long fluffy tail, they used to walk behind him swatting it. So revenge will be right…right???

LMAO!!

Ok, for the fun part. And you guys need to give a huge thank you to Lisa and My Universe, since Lisa has been here every step of the way helping me with getting on with life.  Sleeping helped too, but she did with the support she gives me every step of the way for the last week.  My Universe has done the same, and she has requested this before, and I thought I would give her a thank you.

Chapter 4 of What If is published, UNBETAED!!!! Any errors, blame me. I am only trying to make it easier on her since she was on vacation. She can go back and change it if she needs to, (She has the mystical power of Editor. Or Site Administer… Whichever, I gave her carte en blanche or however you spell it over the site in case she needed to do anything.) so she has the power to change it.

I will be working on the rest of the Next/Previous stuff without going out of my mind. oh yeah, a character list for In The End.  With the blanks for charcters in there….. Of course if I feel like stopping to write, no one will mind right???

Trying to get back to looking at the glasses half full,
Wendy

Chapter Four

Thank you

To everyone who has expressed sympathies for the passing of my dog.  I appreciate it all.  Especially with everything that has happened since then, my Grandfather’s Alzheimer’s getting worse where I have gone and helped watch him during the day to give my dad a break while the rest of the family has worked to get him in a home.  Today was the first time I was scared by him, and it was bad enough that my Mom and Dad told everyone that I can’t watch him again.

Basically my life has gone to hell in a very short amount of time.  I had started a post about Bear, so that somewhere, are stored pictures of him and to let you guys know what a freaking awesome dog he was, also to maybe allow me to just remember the good things.  But before I could do that, the news of my Grandfather came.  Now he has had Alzheimer’s since 2008, but my Grandmother had been taking care of him, not really letting the rest of us know how bad he is getting in the day.  So this hit most of us hard and unexpenctantly.  He is very intelligent still, but has no control over his emotions nor does he remember who we are.  He will argue with you very effectively, so you have to watch you say because he will use what you say against you in the argument. Today was the first time he had lost it with me, and he did it in a way that frightened me.

I loved and saved all your replies to my note and the chapter.  I appreciate it so very much that you guys cared to give me those notes.  It has helped.  Alot.

But for right now, my Beta is on vacation, (lucky her, I wanted to be her since I learned where she was going!!!) and to be frank, I don’t know if I can write right now.  Tomorrow I am supposed to rest, and this weekend, my mother and I are going to clean the house since neither of us have cared, both of us upset over what has happened and with all the other stuff that was happening before hand.  It just has become so much, that to think a month ago, I was just worried about finishing getting well, (from being sick for well, wow, I just realized for half my life with something a simple operation would have solved 18 years ago) to my parents almost losing the house and my husband and I stepped in to save it, I needed to find a job asap to let my husband rest,  to my dog getting sick then him dying, while I was watching my nephew, then this with my grandfather along with all the normal little things that just happen.

I have no idea how my Dad is handling all this since he has been with me dealing with it all, well I dealt with David more, and let me tell you, Sprout TV is a both a great thing and a bad thing.  Great because since it will catch his attention and help keep him happy.  Happy David=Happy Wendy, Marty and Dad.  Yeah sad it took all three of us, and yes I took naps with him, to keep up with an almost 2 year old.  Bad thing is, well, I can tell you all about Chica, and her new show and why she is getting a new show since her cohost now has a new show of his own.  And the Star at night, has Stars as pupils and the woman wears the same bottom to her PJ’s with different shirts.  Oh yeah, the Sharing Show, repeats the skits between the shows.  Yes, it was on all the time….  And unfortunately, I had to see the purple dinosaur…

But my Dad is staying with my Grandfather all the times I am not, and God Bless him and his patience.

Now, for those of you that are also following me on Fanfiction, I just posted the chapter that my Beta had posted when all this started.  She had no idea what was happening, and just approved the chapter that was marked ready for her to approve.  And it was a straight copy and paste, so nothing different.

I’m really sorry, and will try to get back to the thing that makes me relaxed and happy as soon as I can handle it all again.  Just be patient with me until then.  Please.

Updates

Just to let you guys know, it’s still not going well with Bear, my dog. On top of that I had told my brother I would watch my nephew so he could take out his wife for a long weekend. He’s 1 1/2, so there’s a lot of watching to do, even with three of us. But on top of that Bear is not getting better, and in fact my hubby is staying with him tonight. My mom had been watching him and the princess, however, Bear took a turn for the worst. Marty said he is sore right now, but feeling a bit better.

So what does this mean? Well it means that Chapter 9 was only posted on here, never got a chance to post it on Fanfiction, and that the next chapter will come probably next week unless I want to escape. As it is a chapter that exposes who Ian is playing, I really wanted to work on it.

I’m sorry, I even brought my laptop along, but I just can’t get the muster to even pull it out. Luckily WordPress has an app for iPad, or you wouldn’t even get this. Please be patient, Bear is my second dog and my hubby’s first. And unlike Dodger (may he rip) we raised Bear from a puppy. So we have had him longer, he’s been perfectly healthy until this happened and we got hi when we first moved out together. Lots of emotions tied up. Most of my family is upset too. Then on top of that dealing with David, well he has made me forget Bear, but for the first time since my surgery, I took a nap, without any medicine.

Please be patient. I promise I am not forgetting anything, just need to… I have no idea. Thanks for all the reviews and well wishes. They have made me smile. Especially Duckbutt. Love the name and you have helped me tonight.

Wendy.
