![]() Author has written 7 stories for Phantom of the Opera, Invader Zim, Home Alone, Pirates of the Caribbean, Sherlock, Doctor Who, and Rise of the Guardians. August 28, 2015 Weeeell... If you've read any of my stories that are more than one (or meant to be more than one) chapter you probably are a bit cross with me seeing as it's probably been over a year since I updated anything. I am HORRIBLE, absolutely horrible at keeping any sort of schedule for my fanfics simply because of the way that my creative juices flow. It's just as irritating to me as it is to you, I promise. But, as such, I don't intend to make any more promises that I won't keep. If I ever have a posting schedule it will be because I finished a story completely before I post any of it... which isn't likely to happen. I'm too impatient for that. I do promise however that I WILL finish these stories: Playing With Fire (Sherlock) and Mischief and Magic (Rise of the Guardians crossover with Home Alone). As for the others (that aren't one-shots) I make no promises. I may eventually go back to my Invader Zim story (Friends?) but at this point I'm just not sure. As for my Phantom of the Opera story (There's Always Something About Your First) I doubt I'll do anything further with it. As much as I adore the movie, that story was only a plot idea that I never fleshed out. It was poor planning (lack of any planning, really) on my part and I deeply regret not having anywhere to go with it, but at this point it is what it is. If I ever go back to it that will be far in the future, and that's a big if. As far as my future writing, right now I happen to be overtaken by Whovian fever. The way my inspiration works usually is that I get deep into one fandom and don't come out for months at least. That can be good and bad. The good part is that because I immerse myself completely in one fandom and concentrate on only one at a time I generally get into the mindset of that storyline better. This usually means that I can write the characters relatively well and delve into the environment and psychology of the world more thoroughly. The downside is, of course, that once I'm into one, that usually means I've moved on from another. For example I've just come into Doctor Who from a long spell of Supernatural. I actually have a Supernatural fanfic in the works but because I've moved into Doctor Who now I probably won't come back to it for a while. That kind of makes me angry at myself, but oh well. I will get back to it sometime. I also have a Rise of the Guardians fanfic in the works but I moved on from that quite a while ago. I plan to go back to that as well. It's just a matter of when. So, to recap, I have several stories from several fandoms in the works right now, and have for a while. But as of right now my inspiration is coming from Doctor Who. I have a one-shot for that done right now and as soon as I finish writing this I'm going to post it. I've had a fellow fan check it out and got the seal of approval, so I'm excited about that. Please go check it out if you're interested; it's called Not Tonight. I also have another longer one in production mode right now but it needs a lot of work. This one is going to be quite different. As soon as I have the introduction written, edited, and looked over I will post it and I'll do the same with the first chapter. After that I'll have a second chapter and some loose plot ideas; that's where you come in. I need a few ideas to fill in some plot holes. I'll put a note on every chapter to ask for them. I can't wait to see what I get. :) As always, if you've made it this far, thanks for reading and for sticking with me. I love you guys :) March 1st, 2014 Hey guys. So I know it's been for-freaking-ever since I've posted... well about two months at least. I am very sorry about that. Unfortunately it's going to be a little longer. My beta and I have had a little trouble getting chapter five dealt with; the site keeps eating it when (s)he tries to send it back to me. Like I said before I probably won't post chapter 5 until I get at least up to 7 done. Not sure when that will be, but I'm working on six now, so hopefully soon. I would post it sooner, but I want to be able to keep to a schedule once I start posting again, so that you (my lovely readers) won't have to deal with unpredictable updating. I know how nice it is to be able to know when the next chapter will be up so you have something to look forward to; so I'm doing my best to be able to do that for you guys. :) Also I recently read over a chapter that was meant to be an epilogue for Playing With Fire and realized it wasn't really working for that particular purpose. I published it by itself so if you want to take a look at that maybe it will tide you over. :) I am really happy with the way it came out, I think it's good. But that's up to you to decide whether you like it or not; I hope I kept them in character alright. It's called Together is What we Have, Together Protects Us. As always, thank you so very much for reading and I love you all!! :) January 13th, 2014 Happy New Year!!! I am deeply sorry for letting you down once again. I am (obviously) no good with deadlines. I'm STILL working on chapter five... But I promise I will do my best to get this story done and published soon. I make no promises referring to when, because I've learned that never works. I will eventually get back to a schedule. I will most likely wait until I get chapter 7 finished to publish chapter 5. Whatever ends up happening I will do my best to make sure that once I start posting again it will stick to a schedule until it's done. Once again I can't really give you any idea when that may be as I don't have any idea myself. But rest assured I will not make you wait years. ;) As always, thank you so much for sticking by me. It means a lot. I look forward to hearing from you, and giving you more reading material. :) December 18th, 2013 Firstly I apologize. I told you I would give you chapter three Sunday. Obviously I didn't. Now it is Wednesday and in the spirit of keeping to some sort of schedule I will, come hell or high water, give you chapter three today. As far as the rest of the story: I am currently waiting for feedback from my beta on chapter 4 and working on chapter 5. I realized recently that starting today I would have to publish a chapter a day to get this out by Christmas. That is not going to happen. However my original goal was and still is to get this published before season three starts, which I have recently found out is New Year's day if I remember correctly. I'm excited about the mini-sode on Christmas but I probably won't be able to watch it. :( Anyway, back on point; I will attempt to get some sort of schedule in place that allows me to have the rest of this out by New Year's day. It may end up being erratic but I will do my best. Thanks as always for reading, I can't tell you how much it means to me. :) December 15th, 2013 Okay so getting down to business here I have a few things to inform you of. First off I do plan to have this story (Playing With Fire) done and published by Christmas day. Secondly my updating may be somewhat erratic. If I am not finished with a story (which I'm not, yet) I like to have at least two chapters of safety/padding. That is for example: if I don't have chapter 5 done (which I don't) I want to have 3 and 4 unpublished until I finish 5. Unfortunately I am upset with myself because I haven't kept to the deadlines I've given myself. So seeing as I have only about 10 days until Christmas (wow only 10 days?) I will give you chapter 3 (later) today. Four will probably come along as soon as five is done and run by my beta. After that we'll have to see how things go. As always thanks for being here, thanks for reading, I love you all. :) Until next time, dear readers. December 2nd, 2013 If anyone reads this (which I doubt they do) I just want to let you know that I intended to put up chapter one of my Sherlock fic yesterday. I obviously didn't and I apologize for the delay, but I feel I need to get a bit more done before I start to publish this. I've got chapters 1-4 done and I am currently waiting for feedback from my beta on chapter three. If I can get a rough draft of chapter five done by Wednesday afternoon I'll publish chapter one then. If I can get a rough draft of chapter six done by Sunday afternoon I'll publish chapter two then. My goal is to get this story completed and published entirely before Season three airs. I've heard that they're doing it around Christmas in the UK and I've also heard January 19th but maybe that's the US date? I'm not sure, but either way I'll try to get this story out before Christmas. Maybe the epilogue will be a Christmas present and I'll publish it Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, not sure how things will work out. With that schedule I'm not sure of exact dates but it looks like I'll be posting a chapter on average every three days. Once I get a feel for my audience hopefully we can figure out what works best for my readers. I'm good with whatever days you guys will be able to get it read. Once again I sincerely thank you for sticking by me all this time and I hope that you continue to do so. I love all my wonderful readers. Thank you so much. See you soon. :) November 12th, 2013 Hello again!! If anyone's out there I just want to let you know that I'm making pretty good progress on my Sherlock story. I have chapters one and two done and I'm working on three. I have made the decision to put my other stories on hiatus (as if they weren't already) until this one is done. When season 3 of Sherlock comes out and I eventually manage to get through my feels I'll immerse myself back into Invader Zim to try to get my muse back. Once I've successfully managed that I'll get back on my Rise of the Guardians story. I'm gonna try to tackle this one fandom at a time. I've sort of given up on my Phantom of the Opera story... that was poor planning on my part and I honestly have no real story line for it. I hope to eventually get back to it but I don't know when or if that'll happen. Again I sincerely apologize for my absence. In the mean time please check out my other stories. :) Hope to be back soon with some Sherlock. As always thank you to all my lovely readers. :) October 1st, 2013 Wow... It's been a while, hasn't it? Anyway nobody probably pays any attention to this, but if you do you probably hate me. And I'm about to tell you something that might make you hate me a bit more. Or love me a bit; it depends I guess. I do apologize sincerely for my lack of attention to my Invader Zim story and my failure to deliver on my Rise of the Guardians story as of yet. That said... I've started a new story. I know, I know!! I need to get my other ones done before I start on something else, right?!! Well, as I said I deeply regret my lack of inspiration, but as of now my IZ and RotG muses have abandoned me. But I have a new muse. His name is Sherlock. But I have learned from the error in my ways previously. I made an outline so I should actually finish for once. But I will not be posting the first chapter until I have finished and edited (and had a beta edit) the majority of it. It shouldn't take as long as the third season is taking, but it will be a while. I just thought I'd tease you. I know, you hate me. You may resume your rock throwing now. Thanks for sticking by me my beautiful, beloved readers. Kat out. Oh and I have a tumblr if anyone cares; here's my personal: http:/// And a Rise of the Guardians one: http:/// And I have a deviantart too, I don't get on much though. But I have posted my renderings of IZ characters from my story on there along with other random things so if you want to check it out: http:/// (hopefully those links work) Until next time! :) |
