Ok, today’s post is brought to you by the wonderful letter, E. For Early.
Yikes. Nothing like being woke up only after a couple hours of sleep. The good thing? I can go back to sleep here in a few minutes. Hopefully, after I finish this post!
Lots of things in this post, today.
One, I added a few pages to the site last week. We have the 2016 Adopt a Banner, 2016 Kittyinaz’s Group Banner Contest (which is going on right now!), and a new page that I put up. It has all the Stories I completed and the year that they were completed. This includes One Shots. I have links to the stories embedded into their banners as well as descriptions for all of that. You can find it here. I will also be doing a post later this week featuring a completed story, starting with last year and working backward. Since I have had a lot of comments that people didn’t know there were some that I completed for contests.
Two, I wanted to thank each and every one of you for using the Amazon Link. This helps out greatly for the programs I use to do everything for the site. It helps pay for storage offsite which means I don’t have to worry about the computer crashing and losing all my stories and pictures. There was a time two weeks ago that this was a big deal! It also helps pay for the Photoshop and Grammarly. Which as you guys know very well I use a lot. The Donate button money goes towards the site only. Any monies donated there, 4Padfoot uses to pay the site costs as well as the security for the site. If there is any left over, she looks into ways to make the site be easier and faster to load for you guys.
Three, I also wanted to thank you for reading the stories on here. I love sharing them with you as well reading your comments. Many times I have gone back and read comments and they have cheered me up when I am having a bad day. I keep all those in folders (yes, I am OCD and getting worse as time goes by) and if I want inspiration to keep writing, I look at them. Your support and feeding the muse often help me!
Four, The writing contest ends on the 31st of this month! If you need an extension send them to the email address for that. I am looking forward to seeing what you guys came up with. Later today I will be thinking of next month’s contest so that can be given as soon as possible to you guys.
Five, Chapter! This chapter is brought to you by the lovely and very talented MistressJessica1028. If you have not read her stories, click on the button below to be taken to her site. Also, the chapter had been released to the Kittyinaz’s Facebook Group yesterday. I always like to give an extra thank-you to the people who follow me over there.
Now, I think that was everything since everyone is gone and I just have to let out the brats. Then back to bed, I go! I look forward to waking up and seeing what you thought of the chapter!
Sorry had to. Couldn’t come up with a catchier name for the post today.
So, for those that don’t know me, or haven’t followed me over here yet, I will let you know, I ramble. LOL! And I seem to like to hurt myself, then try to ignore that I did that.
Yeah, I know not very smart.
I hurt my ankle last Grandma Day. I have a bone spur that instead of growing on the bottom of my heel, I have it at the back of my ankle. It has never bothered me until now. (Of course.) Instead of staying in bed with it up, I instead ran around all day Saturday and Sunday (well helped M put in a new floor, but I think it counts…) I spent this last week in bed, watching Fixer Upper (a guilty pleasure) and Vampire Diaries on Net Flix. I am happy to say that earlier today I finished season one of Vampire Diaries. Hey, there are alot of episodes! (and I finished Fixer Upper, but there are no more seasons of that on NetFlix, and since I only have the Apple TV in my room, there is no way I can watch more… yes. I am pouting…)
I also tried to edit Edge, and I am still working on it. I sent a segment that had been bothering me to my betas to get their opinions on it. I am going to use it, but I may look at it when I am done with the chapter. When it bugs me, it means I need to look at it again. I think my mind went one way and the muse another, so I need to fix it. It is no big deal to the main story, but it gives the wrong impression to me of what is going on.
I am watching the Vampire Diaries to get working on the sequel to You’re. Unfortunately, I have watched all these ones before, but not the ones for the next segment of the story. So I am going to be continuing to watch it while I try to work from the bedroom. We will see how that works.
————————Break for Computer issues———————-
And I am back. Sorry, you guys don’t know I have been gone, but my computer encountered an error and after emitting a painful noise through the speakers, it restarted. Sorry!
What If…. The good news, is here is the other chapter, the bad news? This is it for the pre-written and edited chapters. Seems I need to write more. I really need a clone of myself!
So here is the chapter, and I am loving the comments on it already!!!
Yes, the chapter was pre-released in my group. And they are loving it.
I am off to clean off all the stories and stuff from my outlook for the reblog, then off to the bedroom to work on editing, getting away from the dogs before I scream. They are fighting, literally over a bone that Connor is eating. Murphy doesn’t eat them, he only wants it to get Connor to come after him. They have already fought once at my literal feet, and the next time, they took off the door to my desk that houses the CPU.
So I am getting aggravated.
Enjoy the chapter, and I will hopefully get some work done here in the next few days.
I hope everyone had a rested weekend, full of romance, or full of Deadpool… And Yes, M took me to see it here on Friday. I loved it, but I do say, don’t take your kids as Ryan says up above. It is bloody. It is full of crude humour. Basically, it is Deadpool and what he is. Loved it!!!!
Saturday I got a surprise, my newest nephew was born. He was an early one, so nothing is ready for him, but he is needing to learn to breathe right before he can come home. The lungs are one of the last to form, and that is where he is having issues. But everything is great with him and Mommy, and we are all volunteering to help in any way.
Last week was a bust in getting much other than some banners for What If done. I am going through the chapters and adding banners, updating the buttons and so on. My new beta for What If, tj6james6 (who rocks!!!!) is going through all the chapters so that she knows what is going on.
I would like to extend a special welcome to all the people from Fanfiction who followed me over here. This site is a piece of work I am proud of and thank 4padfoot constantly for working on it. We pay for the site through the donations of some freaking awesome people. I also have a link to Amazon that if you use it, it costs you nothing, but for referring you to their site I get a small kickback up to 6%. This goes to pay for memory for the shared drive for the betas as well as the place I store all the documents so that all I ever have to do, is be able to log into it to work on stories, no matter where I am, or what I am using. It also pays for the photoshop (CC) that I use to make banners for everyone and myself.
I hate hawking myself out, but hey, if I want to continue, I needed to do something. I will tell you hosting our own site is awesome for the control we have over it. But it has its downfalls. Right now we are working on bringing the site back up to where it was before. We were hacked thanks to an error WordPress made. They corrected it as fast as they could, however, it was a little too late for us. Thanks to it, we have made some improvements to make it MUCH harder to hack into us, even if WordPress messes up. And I will say thank you to the people of Blue Host for working so hard to help us out!
Just to reiterate (from the past and above):
tj6james6 has taken over What If due to the previous Beta having to back out due to real life. It was not easy to have another work on the story since the beta is one of the ladies who volunteered when I was a nobody. I treasure those ladies the most (and you guys know who you are!) for they took a real risk with me.
I left Fanfiction (but for one chapter, and the explanation of where I am now and why I left) because of the last straw of them not telling anyone about the fact that 5 other sites wiped everything from their site to use. In other words, since they do NOT have my permission, they are plagiarizing my work. Also, by not telling their followers of the action, has left them open to accidently signing on to one of the sites, giving their passwords to the site as well as being set up to for viruses and malware. Not cool at all.
I post here first. TWCS is often updated with hours, to days of it being posted here. The rest get it a week or two later. I do post on other sites. Better in Texas, FictonPad, Fanfiction Affliction, A03, and Dokuga for my Inuyasha fic. Fanfiction will only get the first chapter and a chapter telling when I post here.
This site is the work of the fabulous 4padfoot who puts in many freaking hours! I only come up with SOME of the ideas. The front page and the main pages behind it? All her genius. There is a Site Map for those who wish to use it. I update the main page, as well as add the links in the stories.
If you find a broken link, or anything not working, please leave a message for us. We often have no idea, since most of us are logged into the backside of the site.
And there are going to be a lot of posts coming from this weekend on the reblog site. Seems I broke my iPad this time. *hangs head in shame* We are going to wait until I can get a new one, so it will be a little bit (MONTHS!!!!) but then this iPad will be the headache of my husband and not me. (thank god)
I am working on chapters like I used to in the past. Whatever I feel like. So the updates will be periodic, with no real schedule at first. Once I get back in the swing of working like this again, I will try to stick to a schedule. I post one chapter a week on each story. So even if I have more, I hold onto them to give you guys stuff to read.
And to give you guys a great start to this week, I have a chapter of What If for you!
Enjoy the rest of your week. I hope to work on some stuff since there is not much happening in my life right now. This is subject to change, since I don’t work, I am the one most likely to be called upon to help my brothers.
p.s. Whoever is trying to hack into the site, please stop. We learned a valuable lesson last time. All you are doing is annoying us this time.
I about gave up on getting anything done, and I have to apologize. For some reason, pics and so on are not showing up.
I sent a note out to the WordPress Guru, so that she can figure out what is going on.
In the meantime, I already sent the ladies in the group the link as soon as the chapter was ready. So they have already been reading if they are paying attention. lol!
For being here on the site, you get the chapters before the other sites. It’s my little thing to say THANKS for following me.
So what have I been doing?
Pouting.
Seriously.
I was supposed to go to AZ next week and now I am staying here until Hubs M is ready to go. And we have to wait for Monday the 14th, for one lousy hour. Yep. You read that. One hour. Basically, he will get up, get ready, then wake me up to finish doing whatever I need to, then I leave (after the fun part of getting Connor into the car), only stopping for our drinks. Then I make my way there, and then we will be on our way out of town.
Needless to say, we will make it there in the same day, unless traffic is truly horrendous.
However, my muse has decided that she is on vacation. I spent 4 hours the other night, first trying to find a story to write in, then finally finishing a chapter in Edge. Four freaking hours. I normally do about 3-4 chapters in that time.
So I will be relaxing, playing games and making banners.
According to the amazing Miss Rissa, the woman I can’t live without being around. Literally. She works miracles and keeps up with things that I would be lost in trying to do! But she has told me so far 5 stories have been submitted. However, she tells me that most of you will turn them in tonight.
Please remember, if you need an extension, please let her know. I am planning to publish these on Thanksgiving so that you will have something to read after Turkey dinner or for those that are going to be waiting in lines for Black Friday. Letting me know kinda ruins that whole, I don’t know who is who thing.
I am planning to run the thing through the 15th, which means right before I leave, I will be adding the names to the banners, but I will not do it until the Friday before (since I will be spending the weekend making sure things are packed, the Traverse is ready, and double checking we have the gifts already).
And I am about to go off to research iPad issues, to see if there is a way for us to fix the issue. I hate my phone and using it to read sucks. It hates me. (which is why I hate it!)
So enjoy the chapter, I am off to eat my dinner of Cheesy as heck pizza. And play a game. See you guys later!
I couldn’t resist the Gif… Sorry if you have it stuck in your head like I do now….
But, seriously!!! I have been up and working on your present, and it is STILL blacker than coal outside.
Is there no more sun? While I slept in my oddball time yesterday evening, was there an announcement that the sun took the day off?!?!?
*huffs*
As you know all too well, insomnia thinks it is my best friend. It sent me a necklace last night in fact. So I am back to sleeping for little hours, cat naps really, (why do they call them that? My kitten naps, along with the 7-year-old cat and they sleep for hours. Cat naps are supposed to be small increments of time.)
See, Connor and Murphy are becoming eunuchs today. Murphy is very, very aggressive lately. Connor needs to be since it makes them live longer, but seriously, it is Murphy who pushed this sooner on us. So I will be leaving here, with two hyper dogs who think they are going for a ride, then drop them off for surgery. We will pick them up later, and I for one, am so happy this is taking place today since it will mean there will only be one day that I will have to take care of two dogs alone.
So, while I was lying in bed, trying to get more than 4 and a half hours sleep, I noticed the most awesome, mighty, wonderful Beta, MistressJessica1028, had sent me the first 6 chapters of Clocks.
Let me tell you about the story behind Picking Down Clocks. I wrote it, then edited and sent it off to be betaed. MJ sent it back saying it was a little too jumbled in time. She suggested that I tear it apart and put it in chronological order. I was too anxious having my lovebirds separated, so I had them together remembering the time before. However, MJ was 100% correct in having me reorder it all.
The issue? I suck at verb tense. And it’s quite bad. For me to tear apart the chapters, (Thank GOD for OneNote, it made it a breeze to move things around and do what I needed to do!) then go back and work on them…it took months. It got to where I would watch the video for the story that 4padfoot made for me as well as the cheering in the Kittyinaz’s Facebook Group for em to struggle with it. I started to hate it frankly.
When I got out of the chapters, I was just too happy to get past them, and finish what I had written. I sent it off, and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
This morning, I got them back and opened it up to work on it. I was hesitant, and played a game of Candy Crush in fact. When your beta tells you it took them forever to work on them, you know it was bad. Then I took myself in hand and started to go through the notes MJ left me. And soon I was laughing. She left notes, rants about oddball things. All in all, I was so entertained by the whole thing I am thinking of doing the next chapters as well.
This story is one of the ones that the group begged asked for and is, in fact, the one that they broke my conviction of not doing any until they were completed.
So please take a moment, and give mighty thanks to MistressJessica1028 and her wonderful patience with my messed up chapters. She deserves it.
……
OK. So here we go!!:
Many huge thanks to the lovely Gyllene for her banner for the story!!!
Description: A chance meeting in Las Vegas changes everything. Suddenly a future that had been a brief glimpse of, is possible, and there is nothing the Blood Line will not do to make it happen.
This is a Twilight/True Blood Fic. Eric and Bella. There will be a mix of cast in here, and no worries, Sookie is going to be around.
Here is the Video that 4Padfoot made to inspire me to do more for this:
And here is the first chapter. I will try to update this as long as I can since I may be leaving in a few weeks, if everything works out!
It truly is amazing the stuff you can find on the internet. I searched Alexander Skarsgard leprechaun and the picture above is what popped up. I think it is fitting for today. Sorry I missed posting last week, but Daylight Savings in the USA screwed me up. Losing one hour completely wrecked my week. I…
Can someone please explain to me why I am seeing more snow in March than I did in the entire months of December and January???? I should be getting ready for spring, not worrying about shoveling 8 inches of snow. The only way snow in March is acceptable is if it this is part of…
Hello lovelies. I cannot guarantee I will be back to publishing weekly, but I will try. My dear beta, kleannhouse, is in high demand trying to juggle the stories of three writers. She is amazing and she makes me laugh with all of her comments on my stories. This one especially. I started this story…
