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

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.

  

Lots of Little Updates

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Oh my gosh! I am alive! It’s a been a while. I’ve been rather busy over the last few weeks. I started a new job, and I’m still adjusting to that. I’ve been having a bit of a hard time with mustering up enough self-discipline to write much. I have been working on Solace. I just don’t have anything finished yet. I did redo strangeandbeautiful.org a few weeks ago, so check that out. The site is best viewed in Firefox. For some reason IE just didn’t want to cooperate with the layout. You can see some of the chapter stats posted over there.

Honestly, though, I can’t say how soon the next update for Solace will be. I’ve decided to do NaNoWriMo this year. I really only put my foot down and decided a little over a week ago, but now I’m really excited about it and I’ve been doing a lot of planning. The story is called Absolution. It’s a dramatic thriller with a touch of mystery and a little horror, so as far as the genre goes, it’s really something different, but the biggest difference about this story has to be that I’m not doing a Hanfic this year. I’m a little nervous about it because I feel a bit rusty on the original fiction front, but I think it’s time. I will still post the story online if anyone is interested in reading it, so I’d really appreciate it if you’d drop me a comment in the guestbook and let me know!

Also, to Jen, I read your comment in the guestbook about reading Beautiful Disaster. I’m still in the process of editing and recoding the chapters, and I already know I won’t get that finished until after November, so in the meantime, I’ve posted all of the chapters in pdf format in case anyone else feels like reading it. You can find the link to the pdf here.

I’ve also got a new hostee! Heather from YouForAlways.net has moved all of her fiction over so that it wouldn’t be lost when her domain expires, so update your bookmarks! smile

And, last but not least, thank you to Amber, Gabby, Gotyou, Katie, Diana, Mare, Lauren, Rosie, Jessica, Jenna, Michelle G, and Jen for signing the guestbook. I’ve been so bad about updating lately, but I really appreciate everyone who’s hanging in there to read more of Solace as well as everyone else who has continued to sign the guestbook. Please remember to leave me about your comments about posting Absolution, and, hopefully, you’ll be hearing more from me soon!
