What If I Told You, I Have a Chapter For You?

<snickers>  Like what I did there?

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!!!

What-If-20

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.

Hopefully.

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!

Chapter 19: Long Blinding End

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’m Not Dead…Yet!

I’m Not Dead…Yet!

Though I feel like most days…

Basically, I was not ready to be up Monday.  And have paid for it, sleeping most days including that one away.  But…I feel better….

Sorry.  No idea why Holy Grail/Spamalot is in my head, but you guys will probably find many puns in here for those that like it.  :winces:

But why am I posting?  Because I am here to fulfill a promise.  Yep.  We will be forming a government based on a lady in the lake giving me the…. Wait.  Nope.  Wrong one…

basis for gov

Yeah.. See why?  :Snickers:

Yes, I have a chapter of What If ready for you.

What-If-16

And my Muse decided to show who is boss when I am drugged.  I have 2 chapters written of a story that I refused to write.  I’m kinda grumpy over it.  She took advantage of the fact I was drugged!!!!  I don’t know what to call it.  To be honest…

Breathe 1

Here is the banner (yeah, you should have seen me looking at the lyrics for Carnival of Rust and stupidly going… Can’t use that… Bertie used it.  And that sounds stupid.  And that doesn’t even put to mind anything to do with the plot. Is that even spelled right?)  Hope someone will enjoy this.  If you are interested, the prologue is up in the Facebook Group.  Use the banner above to be taken to the group. (just to be extra sneaky)

I am trying to be good, but I often sound like the Black Knight, in insisting it is only a scratch… But my betas (yeah even the new ones, and the ladies who joined us over on the Food Blog!) have long caught on to my little idiosyncracies.  So I will be checking the other sites to see if they are caught up.  Then back to bed for me.  And hopefully maybe some work done on the laptop, but it all depends on how I am feeling.

I am shooting for full recovery from the drugs soon. And hopefully, my body can figure out the middle between no sleep and too much sleep. I just want to be kinda normal.  kinda…

As for my tooth?  Yeah, that sucker is on Aleve now.  I’m back to being able to drink through a straw so I am enjoying the hell out of my SodaStream drink.  Yeah, I am weird I can’t drink soda unless out of a straw or once in a while, an 18 ounce or whatever bottle.  Sensitive teeth.

And the pets?

Stormy is ruling the house.  Literally.  Family begs me to get back in the office since she will come in here and just sleep with me.  Or play with Tucker.  Whichever, It is better than her running along the backs of chairs, down a chair then across the chairs to start her track again.  She also has decided to like my dad’s water.  No matter what flavours he puts into it.  She sleeps in the bedroom on M or beside me.  Depends on her mood.

Connor is well… Connor.  He begs to be in the room so he can’t be blamed for Murphy tearing up stuff.  It is a surefire way to know something is torn apart.  He also, if in the room, will sleep the entire night between M and me.  We need a bigger bed.  Coming next month will start us getting him ready for the trip.  He will enjoy that, since he will have new dogs to play with, and maybe, just maybe he can play with mom and dad without M butting in.  (Well he won’t have Murphy since he is staying here with his owners, but there are two other dogs, one of them a golden….)

Murphy?  He likes my rugs in the bathroom.  We have to keep the bathroom door open to allow the AC to run correctly.  Don’t ask, it works is all I know.  He also prefers to sleep on the floor in our room, on an Avengers blanket we bought for Connor.  If we open our door at night, nothing happens, but we get little room on the bed.  We may need to look to buying a king so we have room! But Murphy thinks he sleeps on the bed, but he gets down each time.  He also is bad with his paws, going so far to hit me Monday on my jaw that was operated on.  He is still a work in progress.  We are still teaching him that jumping up and not landing on anyone is ok.  But the other is not.

That is everything on my side.  I am going to get this off.  I appreciate you guys still reading these things.

New Chapter of What If!

New Chapter of What If!

What If 1

You kinda remember this story right?  It was one of the first ones posted to this site, and then I ended up not writing more on it.  Until last year.

I was trying to finish it, but I ended up having a hard time with one of the characters.  After a long fight with them, well I am going with the muse.  Some of you will be upset, but if you read my other stories, there is a hint to the one character I cannot seem to make fit in.  And for once, it is not Edward.  He is behaving…

So I have this chapter ready.  I figured since you guys have been patiently awaiting it, I will give it to you today, but I think I will put it on the rotation for Thursdays.  I already have the next one beta’d I just need to work on the questions she has for me.  It will be up next week.

Many huge thanks to the beta: mags-eric

 

 

 

Without much ado, here it is:

Enjoy the chapter!!
