You Make My Dreams
I think you’d all be happy to know that not only did I post a chapter for AR just a few days ago but I’ve had the time to work on the next chapter too. It’s coming along nicely and it shouldn’t take too long to finish it up either. I kinda like it too, it’s a bit lighter then the last few chapters have been.
In The Middle
I know it took forever between the last updates on AR but right now it looks like it won’t take quite as long for the next one to come out. As of right now I have 1300 words written and I’ll hopefully be able to squeeze in some more today. Not promising anything but it really looks like there could be a new chapter out this week.
On another note there seem to be less and less new crossovers coming out. A real shame if you ask me because I just love crossovers! I usually want it to be a story crossed with Harry Potter, because I prefer him as the main character, but other then that I read almost every fandom. Favourites are Supernatural and Gundam Wing but I also read a lot of Twilight and Naruto. Fandoms I really want to see more crossovers with are Criminal Minds, Queer As Folk, Transformers, Merlin, Firefly/Serenity, Four Brothers, Death Sentence and Bang Bang You’re Dead. If anyone happens to come across anyone of them then feel free to give me a shout!
A Way To Beat The Monster
I’m sorry that I haven’t updated Addictive Release for awhile now but, well, there’s just no time for it! I had that period when I wrote like crazy – and it was so much fun – but then I realised that I was way behind in all my school work so now I’ve been working like crazy to try and catch up. But the problem is that every time I’m finish with ine assignment there’s a new one that needs to be done.
Because of that I don’t know exactly when I’ll be able to finish the next chapter. I won’t have any time this week at least and I’m not sure about the next one either… But I’ll do my best to find the time to sit down and work on it!
You know, it would all be much easier if the snow could just melt away and the seasons could change to spring. I’m so sick and tired of the snow and darkness! I always feel tired…
Heartbeat
You should love me! Two chapters in two days, how’s that for being fabulous!? Don’t know what’s gotten over me but I’ve been writing like crazy in the last few days. It’s so much fun! I think it might have to do with the fact that things are really starting to happen now and I’ve got a clear vision of the finish line. Not to say that the story is close to being over but, yeah, we’re over halfway through at least.
I hope everyone’s enjoying Harry and Scott getting closer and I know some of you probably wanted to hurt me after the end of the last chapter. Not kill me obviously because I’m sure you want me to finish it! But I’ll make it up to you, I promise, they can’t keep dancing around each other forever.
So don’t forget to leave me tons of reviews to keep me encouraged and hopefully you’ll get another chapter soon!
Trouble
Well, I’m pissed of! I’ve been trying to upload the next chapter for Addictive Release to ff.net but it just won’t work. All I get is this error message that they can’t convert my file so there’s either something wrong with the file or there’s something wrong with the site. My bet’s on the site. Bloody annoying is what it is!
And I was so looking forward to posting this chapter too! Things are finally starting to move forward and I really wanted everyone to read the end of the chapter and then find out what you all thought. I’m kinda nervous about it too but most of all I’m excited. I really hope you all will like it!
I’ll try to update one more time tonight but if it doesn’t work I’ll give up for now and try again tomorrow!
The Moment I Said It
It’s kinda ridiculous how happy a review can make an author but it’s still true. Even if it’s just a short “Great chapter” you just can’t help but to smile. But then sometimes these amazingly long reviews drop in that just makes you laugh because you’re so happy and for weeks, whenever you have a down moment, you just remember that review and that cheesy smile breaks out all over your face.
CatishAngel07 for example have left me reviews for the last three chapters of AR and all of those have been long and so nice and helpful. She always tells me what she liked about the chapter and if there is something I should think about. I love reviews like that!
And then today I got a review from Sam who, sadly, didn’t have an account so that I could respond. But it was freakin’ long! And so funny! Don’t know the last time someone made me laugh that hard. And it was amazing because it made me fall in love with this story all over again and my fingers just itched because I wanted to start writing again.
So to everyone out there who has reviewed any of my stories; I love you! All of you! You’re simply the best!
Into Your Hideout
Yes, I know that I’ve been real slow when it comes to updating lately (and that’s both for this place and for Addictive Release) but I’ll try to do better!
On that note I can tell you all that I’ve written about 1000 words on the next chapter of AR. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish it this week.
I’ve also changed this site so that it now concerns fanfiction in every genre. Well, at least every genre that I’m reading ^^
Too Short But On It's Way
After a bit of a slow time I’m finally writing again! I got chapter 11 finished during the weekend when I was away working and today I almost got done with chapter 12. It’s bugging me a little because I want so bad to be finished with number 12 but it’s still too short. But it’s such a good place to stop! Not an evil cliffie or anything just . . . a good place to stop. It feels like if I write anything more it will only ruin it. But it’s only 1800 words and I want my chapters to be at least 2100! Christ, this is hard!
Madness Comes To All
I lost a bit of inspiration for AR once I realised that few people took the time to review and I thought that meant that they did not care. The review alerts kept dropping in but sadly they don’t feel as important. Of course I’m mainly writing this fic because I enjoy it! I like writing it, I like the idea for it and I personally think it’s pretty good. But when you don’t get that response from anyone else it’s easy to stop caring about it.
But then, today, this wonderful review dropped in from madness comes to all and it just made my weak! She really gave me the inspiration to start writing again.
So today I’ve written 1066 words, which is a whole scene, and I’m just itching to keep writing!
Writing Again
I’ve been a bit crappy when it comes to writing the last few days but today I sat down and started on chapter eight. I’ve got almost 800 words written so far but sadly I have to stop for a few hours. My cousins daughter is having a birthday party (she’s turning one) so I’ll have to go over there. I’m in a bit of a bad mood because of that, not because I don’t want to go but because I really was in a writing mood. That’s why I usually write at night, nothing to bother me then!
More To Come
I’ve been away over the weekend (Thursday-Sunday) because of work and because of that I haven’t had that much time to write. Well, I wrote almost half a chapter on Thursday evening but the other nights I’ve been too tired. But I haven’t lost inspiration for the story and I’m looking forward to sitting down later tonight and keep writing.
I have also decided that I will update the story as soon as the next chapter is finished. After that I will either update every time a new chapter is finished or if I finish too fast I will wait about three days. If I ever suffer from writers block you can at least find relief in the fact that I have a few more chapters finished and will be able to update even if I can’t write for a little while.
Rocking
Why yes, I do totally rock. Thank you for noticing!
When I wrote yesterday I had four and a half chapter written for Addictive Release and I managed to finish the rest of chapter five during the evening. Today I have written half of chapter six. I’m on a roll people!
And I’m so happy with myself too because chapter six is really more of a filler – important but still a filler – without much of a dialogue so I thought it would be really hard to write but it isn’t. The trouble is more in limiting what I write because there are so many opportunities to spin of the plot-line I have set and write things that shouldn’t come up yet. I thought one of the most important things I had planned on writing in this chapter would come up after just a few hundred words but now I’ve written a thousand and I’m not even close to it.
Yes, I really do rock!
New Crossover
As some of you might have seen already I have started a new multi-chaptered fanfic calles Addictive Release. It’s a crossover between Harry Potter and the tv-show Higher Ground (staring Hayden Christensen, Joe Lando, Jewel Staite and AJ Cook) and will take place in the HG-universe, which means it will be AU and non-magic. I originally started the story a couple of years ago but gave up on it when I couldn’t get a hold of Higher Ground and wasn’t certain about all the details.
I still haven’t got the tv-show but when I started reading through what I had so far inspiration struck and I decided that to hell with canon! This is fanfiction and I can change it however much I like, thank you very much!
There are four and a half chapter written so far (three written before the hiatus) and I don’t know how long it will turn out to be. I’ve got several good plot bunnies though and some chapters I’m just dying to write (why do the chapters have to come in the right order!?) so it’ll probably be pretty long. Can I take a shot at guessing around 15? Wait, is 15 considered long..? Yeah, yeah, whatever, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there!
Oh, and because it’s been so long since I watched Higher Ground the characters will probably be a bit OOC. At least I’m pretty sure my Ezra is more outgoing and confident then in the canon version and I think Scott might be a bit more social too. And I’m struggling like crazy to keep Daisy from being a mix between Luna Lovegood and River Tam (Firefly) but she just takes on a life of her own! Not that I mind too much, she’s fun as hell to write, Shelby too.
And Harry… Well, he’s not the kind of Harry I usually write. He’s got a backbone in this one. Yes, I never thought I’d write him like that either.
Bugging
And what about those advertisements with sound!? You accidentally move your mouse over it and suddenly some little skeleton starts this evil laugh. Hate, hate, hate!
Updates
Was there?
Of course not!
Alright, so I can understand that I’m not the only one who leaves town during the summer and that the writers have other things to do then write non-profit fanfiction but I wanted updates!
There were of course a few that had updated, usually just one chapter, and then there were Early-Frosts who had updated her story Setting Sun (HP/Twilight-crossover) with 21 chapters and therefore had finished it. Why can’t everyone be like that!?
But the update that made my day was Signs of Waking (HP/Twilight-crossover) by hangedfire. It feels like I’ve been waiting forever for an update on that fic! I think it might be my all-time favourite HP/Twilight-crossover (and considering I’ve read most of them, that’s saying something!) so if you haven’t read it I suggest you head over there right now. But a word of warning, it deals with some sensitive subjects and is packed to the brim with angst!
Loving At The Moment
Don’t really know why I suddenly became obsessed with it but it might have been because of all the Harry Potter/Twilight –fics that started to take over or ff.net’s new crossover-search. It just makes it so easy to find! And it’s also made me try new crossovers that I haven’t even thought about before.
My favourites are by far Harry Potter crossed with Twilight or Gundam Wing. With Twilight because I liked the first book (it just went downhill after that) and because I’ve always loved Harry Potter/Cedric Diggory. Do I need to say more..?
And with Gundam Wing because… Well, it’s just cool! For some weird reason I like GW-fanfiction more then the actual tv-show and if you throw Harry in to the mix too it just can’t get any better ^^
Other fandoms that I’d really want to see more crossovers with are X-men (movie-verse, Wolverine included), Firefly, Four Brothers and Death Sentence. So if you find any new fics in that category give me a shout!
Getting Started
I’ve put up links for all my HP-fanfics and, as you can see, most of them have their own banners. For those who don’t (and for those who just look like crap) I’ll try to make some as soon as possible.
In other news, this was a pretty dumb time to start a new blog considering I’m going away for three weeks and won’t have any access to internet during that time. I’m gonna work at a riding-camp in the middle of nowhere (well, pretty much) so internet isn’t really their top priority.
Do you realise I’ll have to survive three weeks without reading fanfiction? I don’t know if I’ll make it…
Anyway, I’ll leave on Saturday so until then I’ll try to fix the last things on the blog and put up some new posts.
So, enjoy my little corner of the web and feel free to share thoughts and recommendations concerning fanfiction! I’m always looking for something new to read =)
Welcome
Hope you'll enjoy it!
