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!

I come bearing three brand  new chapters today! Chapter 12 of Revelations has now been posted, as has Chapter 8 of Fine, Fine Line. Some pretty big stuff happens in both of these chapters, so be prepared!

Now, I know that I said I wasn’t planning on writing You Irritate Me for quite awhile, but an opportunity to start it has presented itself. Over at the JSOR boards, I brought up how everyone seemed to be in somewhat of a winter writing slump, and one of the users suggested something called “Fix the Winter Slump!” where those of us who are participating are giving each other private feedback on the story we’ve chosen to work on. I could have kept this story quiet until this little challenge was over, but decided to post what I’m working on as a sort of preview. Based on the feedback I get, I might be doing some rewriting, but please go take a look at it. I’m not planning on changing the plot, so let me know what you think of what’s up so far. I had an absolute BLAST making the new layout for it (with a little help from Brittney lol) and I’m really excited to write this story.

Thank you so much to Brittney for signing the guestbook after the last update!

Chapter One of Fine, Fine Line is FINALLY up!! It took me forever to get this first chapter ready, but here it is! I’m so excited about this story and have a lot planned for it. Please let me know what you think of this first chapter! I’m dying to know what you all think of this sequel.

In other news, Standing In The Shadows will be completely posted on Wednesday and Becca and I’s new collaboration will be announced next Saturday.

I’ve also posted the site for my NaNoWriMo project called You Irritate Me. I had a little site back in the day where I had two stories “You Irritate Me” and “Head Over Feet,” and I’ll be taking those two plots to work on this project. I’m really excited to start writing it and therefore can’t wait for November 1 to roll around so I can get started!

Also, as you can see, I made a new layout for the site with Maggie from You Irritate Me as the main header. I had been trying another one with SMG for a few days and I just wasn’t crazy about it, but I think I like this one.

Thank you to Becca (x2), Kristin, Hayley, Chelsi, Erin, Kristy, Stephanie, and Jenny for signing the gbook!
