Hiiiiiii!

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

I’m just going to preface this update with the warning that I’m uber hyper because I’ll be seeing Twilight in less than nine hours. I cannot even express how excited I am. Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve pretty much been consumed by this fandom for the last year or so. I know that Becca is most likely praying for the return of my sanity. I suspect she doesn’t fully appreciate the greatness of Edward Cullen. wink

But anyway, I do come bearing some updates. First, Chapter Three of Absolution has been posted. I’ve been meaning to update all week, but I really got caught up in trying to write. Good news, though! I hit 50,000 words last night. I actually surprised myself because I didn’t think it was going to happen so soon. I guess that now gives me time to flail and fangirl over Twilight for a couple of days before I get back to finishing the story. I have about seven or eight chapters left to go. I’ve been flip flopping over the idea of changing or taking out a part, so we’ll see what happens there. And I thank Rosie and Renee for signing the guestbook, and even if you don’t sign the guestbook and are giving the story a change, thank you!

Speaking of Renee, we are now affiliates, so go check out her site and stories and enjoy! And, also, thanks to her I have a new So if you want to get an email when I update, just sign up.

I also updated a few different pages of the site. The hostee page is now up to date, and I also updated my reading list. Since I do read more than Hanfic, I broke it down by fandom, so if you like Harry Potter or Twilight fan fiction, you might find something there that you’ll enjoy!

So, I hope you enjoy the new chapter of Absolution, and if there are any Twilight fans out there, enjoy the movie! smile

Day 9 NaNoWriMo

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

So, I’m nine days into NaNoWriMo and still going strong! I’m at 26,695 words so far, and that’s for ten chapters. I have another fifteen left to write, but I’m slowly getting there. I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed writing original fiction. smile

With all of that said, I’ve posted Chapter Two of Absolution. And I want to thank Renee, Helen, Heather and Renee for taking the time to read the Prologue and Chapter One. I really appreciate the feedback! smile

In the midst of writing, I’ve managed to find some time to read some really great stories as well - Drive by Renee, Music of the Dead by Renee, and Starter by Nat. They’re all for Jesse’s 10 In 10 Challege, and if you’re looking for some good Hanfic, I suggest you give those a try.

Also, I’m pretty sure my mailing list isn’t working. NotifyList.com doesn’t seem to want to send out messages anymore, so if anyone knows of a good free mailing list, please drop me a comment and let me know, and I’ll try to get that sorted out before the next update. And if you’re reading Absolution, please, please let me know your thoughts!

  

Updates That Include Fiction!

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Okay, I have updates, and this time it actually includes some fiction!

First, there’s a new layout called Disturbia. It’s for my NaNoWriMo story and it features Carter and Ellie. Also, the Prologue and Chapter One of Absolution have been posted. Thanks so much to Becca for editing it so quickly. Like I mentioned before, it isn’t Hanfic, but since a few people showed some interest, I figured I’d go ahead and post it.

Secondly, I have yet another new hostee. Please welcome Kristy. With Heather moving over and letting her domain expire, she needed a new home, and I’m more than happy to have her!

Also, the domain is being really slow and stupid at the moment. I’m not sure what the problem is, but I’ve put in a ticket and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. You can find the link to Absolution on the sidebar, and I’ll add it to the fiction section as soon as WordPress decides to cooperate with me. I hope you guys will give Absolution a chance and will let me know what you think.

Thanks to Gaby and Jen for signing the guestbook.
