Yes, Virginia. It is a new Behind the Velvet Rope chapter

I realize I have been completely remiss when it comes to this particular story.

BTVR - chapter 9 on FFN

I had honestly thought I could finish this up by the end of summer (not next summer, but the one a few months ago.).  Unfortunately, I had a few major hiccups in my RL and I was both unable and unmotivated to work on this particular story.

However, now that NaNoWriMo is over (I got my OF started, but nowhere near the 50k WC) - I am going to put my full attention on finishing up BTVR, what will ultimately be my final Twilight fanfic story.  After four years and twenty three stories, my swansong is coming closer for this fandom.

I am not going anywhere, I'm not pulling to publish or anything of the sort, but I'm done recreating lives for Edward and Bella.  While they inspired me for so long, they no longer do so.  Instead I am trying my hand at creating my very own characters with their own stories to tell.

Once I've completed BTVR, I will pull all of my stories on FFN, Twilighted & TWCS.  I will instead be offering them as PDFs on this site, to whomever may want them.

If you're interested in following along with my new OF journey, please follow me on twitter at @michelawalters, on Facebook or on my new blog - Michela Walters on Wordpress.

Thank you all so much for your continued support for these last 4 years.  Like I said, I'm not going anywhere, I just won't be posting any more Twifics.

Thanks & until next time,
Mcgt

Fandom Event Reminders

Hi, guys
I know, it's been a long time since I posted in here, but I was on vacation for a while & my RL work is kind of overwhelming me right now.

But I have a couple of things I wanted to make sure any of my followers knew about.

1 - The Emerging Swan Award nominations close on Sunday 8/5.  Please make one of your fellow Twi-fic author's day and nominate them for an ES Award.  This award is for those little stories that could.  The ones you wonder why people aren't reading.  Hopefully winning will give them a little added exposure for the stories you know and love.

2.  Please help - the Fandom4Colorado is now accepting donations and authors willing to contribute a story for the compilation.  Over 1000 homes were destroyed in June when wildfires swept through parts of the state.  Anything you can do to help would be much appreciated.  As a resident of Colorado, I know the damage all this caused, and now that we've been having a lot of rain, those areas are now experiencing mudslides.  Please donate and help out all those affected.

3.  And lastly, if you haven't already done so, please follow along with my original fiction blog under the pen name - Michela Walters.  I will be posting various flash fiction and other short stories in there along with posting my Nose in a Book Reviews segment.

And to those anxiously waiting another Behind the Velvet Rope chapter, please be patient.  My RL is a lot more hectic than I thought when I decided to try and finish it this summer.  I'm trying, but please be a little patient.  It will be completed as soon as I can manage it.

Until next time,

Behind the Velvet Rope - Chapter 8 posted

Hi guys,
I know, I've been somewhat remiss with my posting in here, but it's because I'm trying to figure out a couple of original fic/story ideas and which to try and tackle first.

I'm a waffler by nature, indecisive to a fault.  So hopefully I'll outline and move forward with one.

In the meantime, I've vowed to myself to finish my sole neglected WIP - Behind the Velvet Rope by summer's end.

In fulfilling my promise, I posted a shortish chapter today if you're interested.

Behind the Velvet Rope - Chapter 8


Also - if you haven't heard - The Emerging Swan Awards will begin the nomination process on July 15th. 

Check out the site for all the rules and information.  Put together your list of favorite Twi-fics and then nominate them when we open in the middle of the month.


Until next time,

#TT25 - Completed Banner

Since I completed my Twilight 25 fic - Celestial Countenance, Ms. Ambrosia was kind enough to make a banner for each of the authors who completed the challenge.

Purty, isn't it?

New Blog for my Original Fic works

Hi guys,
Just a quick post to let you all know that I'm going to be posting all my original fiction stories on another blog.  This persona will still be what all my fanfic will be listed under, but I'm moving forward with my other goals of writing some non-Twilight based fiction.

If you enjoy my writing, then please follow my other blog & twitter/facebook accounts

I'm not abandoning my Fanfic story Behind the Velvet Rope, but once I'm done with that story, I'll probably cease to write any more Twilight based work.

I appreciate all of your support these last four years that I've written Twilight fiction, and hope you'll continue to support me in my other endeavors.

Until next time,
Mcgt
