I’ve posted Chapter Six of Aftertaste. For now, the new chapters will be posted at livejournal. Once I’ve had a chance to go back over and edit the chapters, I’ll put them up on the site.

The master post for Aftertaste can be found here, and the link to Chapter Six can be found here. Don’t forget to check out all of the other stories for the Hanfic Genre Challenge as well!

I’ve also updated my hostee page. I removed the ones that were no longer up, and I added a couple that weren’t there. I also have a new hostee. Go check out Mel’s story Lessons of a Laundry Mat Attendant. As her acting beta, I can tell you that it only gets better with each chapter.

And comments are most welcome at my LJ. At least this way, I can reply directly to any feedback. Or if you just want to sign the guestbook, that’s fine too. Either way, feedback is most appreciate it!

Last by not least, thanks so much to Me and Nath for signing the guestbook! Nath, please never apologize for leaving a long message. And I think this post answered your question about Aftertaste at least!

So, I fail at that updating twice a month thing. Sorry, sorry! Between being really sick and being busy, I just kept putting it off. At least this time I have a few updates.

First, Chapter Three of Shelter is up. Maybe now that some things have somewhat settled down, I can try to stick to my word and updated every two weeks. No promises, but I’ll try.

Second, I wrote a Distorted Blessings side-shot called Solid and Strong. It takes place about five years after the Epilogue. It was really just errant idea that I decided to write, so if you’d like to take look into Julie and Zac’s future, check it out. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think, please?

Third, I’ve been adding some other little random drabbles and stuff to aloneinthe@lj. I’m planning to add some other little random things there as well, like some Twilight fan fiction I’ve been working on off and on. I’m also going to be posting some fic recommendations from the various fandoms I like to read, so join the community so you can see those updates!

Fourth, I rewrote the first chapter of Bed of Lies for The Spark Inside. There will be a new story each day, and mine will be up on the 4th, so make sure you check the archive for that. While the rewrite is essentially the same story, I tried telling it a different way, and there were several things that were added to it – like Taylor and Eden’s night together.

Fifth, the April edition of the JSOR Newsletter will be coming out in a few days. If you’d like to be kept up to date on all of the latest Hanfic news and fiction through a monthly email, make sure you go and sign up now!

And I’m sure there’s probably something else that I’m forgetting to mention, but it escapes me right now. So, I hope the chapter update and the other little random bits will sort of make up for my updating failage. Also, thank you to Tracey, Amber and Ditte for signing the guestbook! I really appreciate it, and it’s good to know that people are still reading. So if you read something, please drop me a note. I like knowing I’m not talking to myself (all the time anyway).
