My Apologies + Piceaser

Hey everyone!

Yes, I'm alive. I want to apologize for being MIA the last couple of months. I've been juggling so much stuff that I barely had time to sit down and write. Chapter 9 was one of the chapters that were completely lost when my desktop died, so I had to rewrite the whole thing almost from scratch. I did have the original draft, so that was something. Still, there were stuff in the original one that I didn't like and decided to change them.

But that's not the reason why I haven't updated. The truth is that I have been so busy between studying for my TOEFL, making graphics for a fandom event that never happened (Fandom4UniTap), and making the winners banners for the Fanatic Fanfics Awards (121 of them, yikes!)  that I barely had time to breathe. Then, I find out FicTease is closing, and I lost what I had written of Chapter 9 due to a power outage. *sighs* April and May weren't kind to me at all.

The last thing that kept me away were the events in Chile.

The Fandom Gives: Chile and Nicaragua Need Your Help!

Our fandom family stretches around the globe, and never does that bond feel stronger than when one of our friends is personally affected by disaster.

WHY WAS THE FANDOM GIVES & DISASTER RELIEF COMPILATION CREATED?

Just over a month ago, Ana Fluttersby alerted us to the catastrophe occurring in Nicaragua—three huge earthquakes and hundreds of aftershocks left people camping in their backyards, sleeping inside with open doors, or looking for shelter elsewhere—and asked her fandom friends for help. Almost immediately, Mina Rivera shared her own family’s personal story of loss from the fires in Valparaiso, Chile.

A Personal Appeal...

Dear readers,

This is a personal appeal. We are trying to raise money for Nicaragua and Chile, both countries have been hit by massive earthquakes, aftershocks, and fire. If you help us spread the word around, donate a raffle item, sign up to write, beta or make a banner, or just like The Fandom Gives facebook page, it would be very much appreciated.

Also, if you can't write a full piece for the compilation, you can still donate your words in a different way. Ana Fluttersby, Born Onhalloween and I got together and wrote a story for the compilation named TREMBLE.

As you can see, the first two chapters are posted on ff, but the rest of the story will go into the compilation and YOU can help us give this story an ending. That's right! We are looking for anyone who wishes to write from 200 to 800 words. This is going to be a mass collaboration and we got some great authors already sign up, but we need MORE! So, if you got time, love the story and wish to add a bit to it, come check out the First Responders facebook group and we will be more than happy to give you more information.

Thank you for the support and don't forget to donate! xo
