Her stories are down. All of them. Harley, who was the secret ok’r for me to start publishing, is thrilled. So am I!!!
First all, I am so really thankful to all of you for what you did. You stood alongside me, and I heard so few (Like under 5) naysayers but had hundreds of people pour in their support. This is amazing. I really hate to go through and post another post today on all my FanFiction, but I am unsure what to do. I have so many people who follow me!!! I think I will reload the page for my readers to know it was resolved…
Harley’s thank you can be found here:
Now for the bad news.
I will be moving myself off of FanFiction. It should have never come down to this. This should have been solved the first time we brought it up months ago, and we move on with our lives. Instead, Harley lost all those reviews, and for what? A petty disagreement on the behalf of the Plagiarist? A cheap shot?
This worries me. Seriously. Think of what this can mean. IF someone doesn’t like you, they can report you and get everything deleted.
I have my stories elsewhere, and I will admit, I am a packrat and keep every single review in my inbox on my email. All sorted into folders for each story split into their bigger parts. C’mon. This is me!!!! Not organize it?!!?!? Yeah right!
But for others… this is not an option. I did it because I had a wise mentor who told me to do it, to be able to just open a folder and see all the people who have reviewed. My first story? 259. 184 of those come from FanFiction. 821 is the highest reviews from FanFiction.. but per my count, 1,320. Wow.. There is a reason I am going to do Edge first. Dang do you guys rock!!! You’re will be next since it is 42 off from a thousand.
But still. This is not an option for many. So FanFiction rips that little thrill from Harley and others it has deleted. And it leaves many of her readers confused for awhile on if she is posting or stopped. Not right.
So… I will be moving to posting only on sites that don’t require my beta Meridian to spend extra time to rip out the items that would violate TOS. It is hard enough to post on other sites. I will miss the traffic I get from FanFiction, but can you guys really blame me? No matter how careful I am, all it will take is someone being petty to have it all ripped away anyways.
I do post on TWCS (Thanks! You know who!!!) A03, and here. FictionPad is another place I am posting. I am looking into BetterinTexas, but since I got this site, I am not seeing me moving over there also.
We will do this in a way that there is no doubt to the readers of the stories that they are moved. Everything will be finished. For the lady who asked about Tea Shoppe, it is being reworked since when I went back to it, I can’t write in past tense anymore. It messed it all up and I spent more time trying to figure out the right word than paying attention to the story. It is still a favorite. I am clearing the slate of the smaller stories so I can concentrate on the epic ones better.
For now, celebrate the win as we all are. (I’m opening up my Appletini!) Read the new Mummy Chapter. I am making the banner for Cross the line, but the chapter is ready to go. Give me some time before you click the Cross the Line banner below.
Mummy:
Cross The Line:
Remember, this is the last story post until Monday, December 1st for stories. My ladies are taking a time out for their families.
Also, I had one lady kindly ask me for an update on Murphy. So here it is:
He is off the Allergy pills as of today. He an Connor played all day, woke me up as they ran masquerading as a herd of elephants up and down my hallway. He is starting to grow his hair, and his head is no longer stiff and coarse. There is no bones showing on him now, beyond healthy. This little dog is a fighter, a survivor. He is adorable. Now if he will only learn to be potty trained….
See you guys later (Since you know I will wish you Happy Thanksgiving!!!)
Have you ever had one of those days that nothing seemed to go right? That was yesterday. I got to the point that I was ready to throw my hand sup and say fuck it. Yes. I actually said the word instead of Duck. That should tell you that I didn’t care about Autotcorrect, to say what I wanted, I would fight the damn thing.
My phone was acting up. And wouldn’t sync a new song that I have drove everyone crazy trying to guess this song from NFL games and Marty’s Madden 15. All I could hear was the damn beat, however, I wanted the song. It ended up being Dangerous by Big Data. Thank you Siri. When a song catches my attention with the beat, it is safe to say it is on it’s way to inspire a chapter or something that I will be typing huge amounts of words when I figure out what story it fits. Right now.. the next You’re (which is not on the board to start) is playing around since I could see the song being perfect for Damon…..
Anywho, I wanted the song on my phone. I ended up having to reset the entire phone, which happened after I ended up deleting my major playlist off my computer from my phone. WTFH?!?!?!?!
Oh yes. There was a lot of that going on…. And cussing and so on. So I had to rebuild the dang list, and do you know how hard that is?!?! It is an ongoing piece of work, that I delete songs and add songs on all the time. I basically didn’t load the ones I know I have kicked off the list for sure, but I am having to listen to them all and am continually deleting songs. To give you an idea, this is the list I normally put anything that may inspire me to write more. Instead of allowing it to run in the background until my subconscious clicks and screams with the voice of one of the muses, “THERE!!! That ONE. Use IT!!!!” Yes, they scream loudly.
During this, my dad was home, complaining how Murphy, who we have had for 2 weeks now, isn’t potty trained yet. Really?!?!?!? Cue another head bang.
Then I remembered that I didn’t finish the chapter for this week’s Cross The Line. I left off to finish that one, ready to turn the above head bang into other outlets, and instead, my muse came out of left field. She laughed at my ideas of where the story was going to go, and forcefully wrenched my head out of planning tortures and the like, to the course she decided on. I was not happy. I wanted to let lose Gabriel and allow him to have fun. Oh what she did was Amazing, it was Stupendous!! It blew me away and I love it. But I wanted to torture someone.
In the attempt to save something from my brain, I won’t bang my head anymore. Never mind that crap. Pillow anyone?!?!
There that is better… and it makes you want to bang your head more s you look at it…
So I went to make dinner, while still fighting with my phone for not loading 500+ songs for unknown reason. But it did load the song I was after. Win or lose?!?!
But I did find some songs like Candy and some others I had forgotten I owned. For good and bad. Some I am still trying to figure out who loaded them on my computer.
ugh
Matter went on to make yesterday where my head hurt too much to head bang.
Cue today. Dogs. Yes Plural. Connor included, decided that today would be a day to test mommy. TO pee on the floor. Where I know who did what…
Then I noticed that I didn’t make FFN banners for my stories Wisdom, lost and found the Mummy one, and for the hell of it, made one for the Songs of Alice. Up above is the one for Wisdom, and as I mentioned I found the Mummy one and it is loaded. The Alice one? Yeah I got fancy and make a collage. I make them, I don’t have photoshop do them. I made it way too hard on myself in the end. Typical.
We can’t forget the family drama, that if I wrote it up, you wouldn’t believe it. Any of it. And next week it will be part of the Thanksgiving holiday. Oh Joy.
That is my life. In two lousy days this has come down on me, and I am ready to run for the hills. And they call me crazy?!? You have to be to deal with all this!!
But… Bertie Bott, who is having her own set of woes, worked to give you this chapter. She worked HARD!!!! SO you need to give her kudos. I will when she comes back. I just hope she didn’t decide to run off on me…
So click on the banner above for the new chapter. We have 2 more before this part of the story is done. I am STILL trying to work on Mummy, and then move on to Heavenly get a one shot out, and all the fun we have going on.
After the Mummy’s post, this site will be pretty much quiet. I gave the time off, and I will be using some of it to relax, to get ahead of my awesome betas, and to deal with the above mess while I cook for people.
So reminders!
Please use the link. Costs you nothing, gives me money for you clicking on it aka referring from my site. Thanks!!!
Kill Bill. Due on the night of the 30th.
Banner contest for the Facebook ladies, it is a Christmas theme. Have at it, and due on the 29th so we can vote on the banner for the month of December.
The interview. Will be done once I can get back to IND. I am trying!!!!
I think that is everything. If I forgot… Sorry!!! Enjoy the chapter!
Yes, I can play on words too for the title of the Post… I just have so much other things to play on also… What can I say?!?! I’m easily amused!
So.. The chapter you guys are waiting on… Click below for it!
Another reminder. I do give my betas the week of Thanksgiving off. So… This will be the last All I Want until after Thanksgiving. And be prepared for Christmas themed everything. I love Christmas. I will be home this year, so I am going to be pulling everything out and doing my bits.
I love cold weather. I woke up this morning in a COLD room, cuddled under warm blankets. It is one of the best feelings to me, and I love just to lie there with a big ole grin on my face enjoying it. When I got up, I made tea, and a bowl of coco wheats. I celebrated the beginning of winter in my own way.
I also get more energetic during this season. No idea why. but I am more likely to make huge meals, start exercising, write more, clean house and so on during this cold season. Doesn’t make a lick of sense! I’m Slavic mostly, and we normally hibernate during this season. Me? I am willing to do way more than I do during the rest of the year. Go figure.
So I am here, working, while my tea is going cold too fast in a cup, but the container I have that it won’t get so cold in, keeps things warmer than my carafe. Yes, it has been known to keep my stuff warm for an hour after the carafe goes cold. I need either another one or one in between. Or a new carafe!
Ok on to the Monday Madness!
This is hard to decide to pick who. So many people deserve it, and I have no idea any more who all have got it. So be patient, you will all be done, I am just going through it all and making notes when I do it now!
This week I wanted to introduce someone new, but who has been one of my sounding blocks. I never knew I was part of the group who inspired her, cause you know, who could I inspire!?!?!?
Anywho the person of the week is:
This woman blows me away on how much she writes, and how fantastic she is!! Her stories are so varied, and such unique takes on it all that I just shake my head and enjoy.
She was one of the ones that the thief stole her stories, And she is also one of the ladies who support anything I want to try out. And if you make her a banner? Wow is she thankful. She came online to Facebook, and then we talked her into WordPress. Which was about the time that we moved this site.
She had a health scare, and it was not one any of us would want. It drove home the fact that we are all human, and makes me value her so much more, knowing how close we came to losing her. Glad my curse didn’t take this year so far! (Yes I knock on my wooden desk!)
Today she announced she was back to writing, and posted the announcement and chapter on her Blog. If you click on the banner of her name above, you will be taken to her blog.
Also, she is one of the authors who are joining the Anthem of the Angels universe. I truly cannot wait to see what she is going to do!
I am off to work on chapters until Hubs calls, then work until he gets home, then I need to work on dinner. Busy busy life!!!
It’s my rendition of the Saturday Evening Post. And I spent most of the day either in bed trying to sleep, or taking meds. Sometimes I HATE insomnia. Ok.. I always hate it. Specially when I had been doing pretty good, one day can ruin it all and I end up spending more time trying to feel good, when it feels like I am getting something. But normally I am not. Ah well.
Today’s Offering: The Mummy/Twilight.
Click the banner to be taken to it.
Just a reminder of the tentative Schedule that we are working on per the schedule we have posted in our chats:
Sunday – None (But I am off this day along with all of you!)
Monday – All I Want
Tuesday – None
Wednesday – I Never…Did Posting all the chapters previous to this day on the other sites.…
Thursday – Wisdom, Justice and Love
Friday – Heavenly on Kittyinaz, Cross The Line on AoA
Saturday – The Mummy, or Clocks
This is tentative. Meaning, if I am not feeling good, or the betas are not feeling good, their family comes first and so on happens, it is able to be skipped. We try to stick to it, knowing how much you guys like to read your favorites on the days you normally get it, but the holidays are coming up. That means more Betas doing other things and that I might actually be busy. ::author pauses for gasps of shock:: Yes. This is the time of year I go visiting and do holiday stuff too.
I will warn you the weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are all considered holidays by me, and I enforce them on the betas. So don’t expect anything those weeks. They all have lives and since we all do this for free, I want them to enjoy that time. A lot of them write also. So basically, I am spelling this out, so you guys know to give us a break. Last year at this time I was in AZ, and I wrote All I Want in those weeks. Just saying. Good things can happen. Just we dont’ want to have to do it.
Ok.
General information as always.
Kill Bill. Entries are due at midnight on the 30th. You guys asked this from me, and I am willing to give it a go. Last time there were two entries. If no more are entered, I will be retiring Kill Bill.
Amazon, As always, the link is to make it easier to click it to go straight there. If you make the page your favorite when you arrive, you will always have link giving me credit. Thanks for all the clicks, it is helping!!
Reblog page. Yes I reblog everything I can. Sometimes, I forget and delete on my iPad. For some reason, on the iPad it hides the reblog box behind the banners on most pages, but not all of them. So I try!
Other than that, I think I will be going to rest. I know Bertie Bott is trying to get to Cross the Line over in Anthem of Angels, but she isn’t feeling too well. I swear, I sometimes think we do spread our germs through viruses on the computer!! We often all get sick together!
Many huge thanks to Bertie Bott for betaing this even though she was sick. I told her that her health comes first! But she ignored me. I understand that. I sneak onto the computer when I am sick too. Shhhh it’s a secret! I get bored!
Murphy is gaining weight. He is no longer skeleton dog. We are giving him the medicine for his allergies to the flea bites, his poor nose was a mess of blisters, and they are going away. We are giving him the stuff for his mange, and he is getting fur. Slowly, but hey it has been two weeks. We are dealing with the potty training. That is a mess. I think I rather have babies with their diapers. But we are slowly getting there.
Ok reminders: (remember to click the banner to be taken to the sites!)
Kill Bill is this month. Either you can do the whole Kill Bill from Tb/SVM or you can do any story with the mention of the words Kill Bill in them.
Amazon, I really can do with all the help possible. I am posting the link often to help you guys out if you think of it!
Reblog page. It is slow and then there are busy days. If you want an idea of who I follow and when they post, that is a great place to see them.
And lastly, but not by far, I have a new team member!
This is Lisha. We have been working to learn Photoshop, and she is doing great. Her first pieces were like a month of me doing them! So please welcome her. She is aiming to help us out with the Banners, as well as The Anthem of the Angels site. I can’t wait to see what she can do!
Not much for today, but I am tired. A cold front came through and all I want to do is crawl into bed. I even blow dried my hair cause going to bed with wet hair was just not something I wanted to deal with. No it doesn’t make you sick, but I don’t like my hair being cold. Don’t ask…
So have fun, enjoy the chapter! The next mummy chapter will be Saturday. I am hoping that I can get another chapter done for the Mummy, I just finished chapter 3 today.
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…
