I totally fail, and I admit it right now. I’m so sorry it’s been so long since I’ve made any sort of update. It’s been almost two months since my last update, which is just ridiculous. Sadly, I still don’t have an update for Solace. Honestly, I have been working on it. Albeit, not consistently. I’m about half finished with Chapter Four. I have 8 pages and 3,658 words to prove it! I really don’t have any decent excuses for why I haven’t finished it yet other than I’ve been lazy and sucked into the Twilight fandom, but I’m going to get my ass into gear and try to finish the chapter asap.

I meant to post about a lot of things ages ago, but I redid the section for Distorted Blessings. I edited some of the chapters, the characters page and added skins to the section, so check those out!

Also, Nat is running her own Hanfic awards. I meant to update and let everyone know so they could nominate, but I missed that, but voting is in session right now, so check out the nominees at Oscars: Hanson Style and vote! There are still a few days left!

And I just want to say thank you to Becca, Foxtrot (x3), Katie, Diana, Gotyou, Helen, Marissa, Jessica, Lauren, Abbey, Katey, Allison, and Michele for signing the guestbook. It’s really good to know that people are still visiting the site even though I’ve been so slack about updating. I’m hoping to have an update for Solace before the end of the month, and maybe once I get back in the zone I can start to make at least semi-regular updates again. I miss writing, and I really terrible about leaving everyone hanging! Forgive me, please?

First, let me apologize for not updating last week. Things were kind of hectic. I got back from a two day family vacation on Tuesday night feeling tired, grumpy and sunburned to the point of blisters. Nikki was also still visiting and it was her last few days here, so I just didn’t get a chance to update. But never fear, Chapters Thirty-Three and Thirty-Four of Starlight are here. I also put up a new layout. I have no Taylor stories at the moment, but I couldn’t resist using these pictures.

While I was setting up the new layout, I came a across a few things that needed fixing, like the hosting form. If anyone has filled out the form recently and never heard anything back, it was because the form wasn’t working. Things should be working right now. I also added the awards from The Soundtrack Awards and Chaos Into Art. Again, I just want to say thank you to everyone who voted for my stories, and also cogratulations to all of the other winners.

Thank you to Nat, Kristin, Chelsi, Pauline, Katie, and Hayley for signing the guestbook. I’ve actually been a bit surprised that I’m not the only one that started to take a bit of a liking to Tristan. Naturally, he would grow on me after I’ve already hooked Presley up with Zac. Go figure that. I hope you enjoy the new chapters. There’s another twist in the plot that some of you may or may not have foreseen, but I really enjoyed the conversation in these chapters. I hope you like them too, and please let me know what you think!

Also, I got an email about the updates list not working. If anyone else is having this problem, please either drop me a line in the guestbook or email me at aloneinthepretense@gmail.com, so I can try to figure out what the problem is. Thanks!

As Becca said when I showed up on AIM for the first time in over a week “she lives!” The last week has been a bit crazy. I’m kind of way behind on everything Hanson and Hanfic right now. Nikki is here visiting, so I haven’t been online too much. I just wanted to get online today and make a few quick updates. Chapters Thirty-One and Thirty-Two of Starlight are posted as well as Chapter Eight of Bridge Builders.

I’ve also heard that the results from Chaos Into Art and The Soundtrack Awards are in and I managed to pick up a few, so thank you thank you thank you to everyone that voted for me. I will post those awards as soon as I have a chance.

Thanks to Nat, Chelsi, Daiana, Katie, Kristin, Leigh, Paulina, and Rachel for signing the guestbook! I feel like I’ve missed out on tons of new things going on in Hanfic in the last week, but I probably won’t get to play catch up until at least next week. I’ll be gone Monday and Tuesday, but I should have another update on Wednesday. In the meantime, enjoy the chapters.

Oh, and I’ve been talking to Nikki about things I’ll planning to have in Solace and I’m itching to get to work on those, so that story will probably start to surface very soon.
