Happy October!

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Hello everyone! I actually come bearing an update! I’ve been having trouble finding my muse lately, but have located it. Seeing Hanson live recently has definitely sent me back into Hanson overdrive and I couldn’t be happier about it. I have written the latest chapter of You Irritate Me, so Chapter 4 is now up!

I’m not going to lie to you guys, there will be no rhyme or reason to when I update my site right now. Basically, when I get something new written, I’m going to post it right away. That might mean that you’ll get another chapter in the next few days. I don’t know. All I do know is that I’ve made you guys wait entirely long enough for updates as it is. So now, as soon as I have something new, you guys will know about it.And, if you want to be notified before I even post on here, be sure to sign up for my mailing list. The link is to the right in the sidebar.

So, The Oscars: Hanson Style! finished up awhile back and they went just wonderfully. I even managed to snag some awards myself, something I was truly greatful for, especially since I’ve been such an epic loser about updating lately. Thank you so much to those of you who nominated me and voted for me. I really appreciate it! Here’s what I wound up “taking home.” :)

Winner:
Best Picture: “Damn It”
Best Actress in a  Supporting Role: Gwen for “Damn It”

Runner-Up:
Best Actor in a Leading Role: Taylor Hanson for “Revelations”
Best Visual Effects: “You Irritate Me”

Check back soon for more updates and sign up for the mailing list if you want to get an e-mail from me letting you know when I update!!

Thanks so much to Renee C., Becky, Allie, Ally, Maria, Jen, Diana, and Jenny for leaving me feedback and comments since the last update! :)

Happy birthday to me!

First off all, I’ve posted the next chapter of You Irritate Me. It’s not the most exciting chapter ever, but it’s still early, right? Some more relationship development happens in this chapter, so I hope you all enjoy it! Also, I’ll be changing the layout every time something is added to the fridge in the story, so be sure to look for the latest addition. :)

Things are in motion over at my The Oscars: Hanson Style! awards site. Several categories have already filled up and there are a few that don’t have any nominations at all. I’ve even been nominated for two awards already, one for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Taylor in Revelations and one for Best Visual Effects for You Irritate Me, so thanks so much to those of you who nominated me! I really appreciate it! Keep nominating! It’s shaping up to be a really exciting awards session!

I should have a chapter of Revelations in the next week, I’m working on it! :)

Also, I’ve created a Mailing List, so if you’re interested in getting an e-mail every time I update the site, please sign up! The link can be found in the sidebar.

Thanks so much to Jenny, Amanda, Abby, Renee C., and Hayley for the feedback since the last update!!

I come today with big news! I ACTUALLY HAVE AN UPDATE OF ‘YOU IRRITATE ME’!!!!!! I’m so excited to be working on this story again. I think it might be just what I need to get the creative hanfic juices flowing again. The layout’s a bit wonky, but it does work. Please just click right in front of the word you want to access (Chapters, Soundtrack, etc.) and the page should load. I’ll try to update the layout so the buttons are visible again in the next few days. [EDIT- Layout is now fixed!] I’m also working on the next chapter of Revelations, so that will be coming soon as well.

I realized that I had posted my reasons for not finishing FFL on JSOR, but not on here, which I apologize for profusely. The decision just came at a time when I wasn’t posting here regularly. So here is what I posted there:

After MUCH thought and consideration, I have decided to not finish Fine, Fine Line. This story, and Tumbling Down as well, were quite autobiographical. At times, they were far too much so. The guy I based Taylor off of for these stories consumed me emotionally for four long years. But now, I’m past him. I’m with a wonderful guy who I’m crazy about and the old guy is far, far behind me. I know that continuing to write this story will stir up emotions I just can’t bring back up.

I feel terrible about leaving it up in the air. I had the entire story planned out, but I’ve tried to write it and it just doesn’t work any more. I made the mistake as a writer of putting too much of myself into a story and it backfired on me terribly.

I sincerely apologize to fans of this story. I wish I would have been able to finish it for you, but just can’t bring myself to write it any more.

So that’s my story and I unfortunately must stick to it for my own sanity. I so appreciate the support you all gave me with these stories and I’m sorry to leave you all hanging.

But, in happier news, I’m doing my own awards site! I’m still in the process of setting up the nomination ballots and the like, so it will be a few weeks before I get it going, but I have the site up and want to share it with all of you! The link can be found –>here<– and it’s my own little homage to the Academy Awards. I hope that everyone has fun with these as I’m super excited to be doing my own awards site! :)

Thank you SO MUCH to Jenny, Diana, Madeline, Toni, Maria, and Lena for leaving me love after the latest update of Revelations. Please check back soon for an update of that! You guys are amazing!
