5. Submit your stories to me via email before Sept 29 at 11:59 p.m.

at sephwritchallenge@gmail.com I will post them on my WordPress Writing Challenge site.

6. After the winners are announced, the authors are encouraged to post their stories to their sites.

The 2nd Writing challenge will be here soon

I want to let everyone know that the banners for the next Writing Challenge will be revealed on September 15, 2014. The deadline for the submission of the stories will be September 29, 2014 at 11:59 pm.

In my opinion our beloved Viking got the short end of things this last season so, I have spotlighted him and all three banners will have Eric in them, it will be up to you, the author, if Sookie is in them as well.

A Tribute To EricIzMine

In a recent writing contest one of the authors wrote a tribute to EricIzMine in honor of her birthday this past July. Some of you may not have seen it so I thought I would post the link here.

click on the banner and it will take you to the story.

The Final Strand by MistressJessica1028

The afterlife is not at all like what Eric Northman expected. After having survived for over a thousand years, he was not entirely sure he believed in the concept. As a human, he had hoped to die …

Happy Reading

New Banner Available

Just to let everyone know there is a new banner up for adoption.

Just click on the picture and it will take you to the adoption page.

In other news … the next writing challenge will be starting soon so stay tuned for that announcement. The banners are all made.

If you entered the last challenge and have not sent me the site address where your story can be found please do so ASAP.

For all you True Blood watchers remember to join California Kat for her drinking game.

Tonight's drinking game: “I will be drinking anytime "that" look is on Bill's face. You know the one I mean--the constipated, "I'm doing this for you" look. “

Kat will be late joining the party but there will be others there to welcome you.

Until next time,

Happy Reading School

Adopt Me Is Back

As some of you know by now … I have been freed from my sling and have started making banners again.

To celebrate the return of the Adopt Me program I did a ‘what if’ type of banner. Now while I was out of commission I got several emails asking I would be returning and if so some of them had a request. I think the request was very reasonable so I have made an adoption of my own. here it is;

Please feel free to ask to adopt any banner that you think will fit your story or that inspires you to write a story but, if you already have a banner for your story please don’t ask for another one so that someone else who doesn’t have a banner may have the opportunity to get one.

Here is the newest banner that is available

May I Have The Envelope Please

Well you have all spoken and made your choices clear.

From my end of things this was quite an exciting race to the finish. I wasn’t kidding when I said every vote counts … in two categories the winning story won by a single vote.

On the site the stories are now all identified by the number and author so you can see if some of your guesses were correct.

I know, I know you all want to know who won so I’ll just step aside and let you get to the good stuff.

For Banner 1 the winner is:

For Banner 3 the winner is :

The story you all wanted to see continued is :

As I read all the comments that came in for every story one reviewer stood out as a shining light. I found myself dropping everything to go read her reviews when they came in, she took the time to make sure that the authors knew how much she enjoyed their stories ….. here’s an example of her reviews:

I’ve never read Twilight or seen the movies, so I had no preconceived notions except I thought Edward Cullen was a vampire. My lack of knowledge didn’t matter, tho. Your story was easy to follow and I was intrigued by Lady Swan. It sounds like her daughter WANTS to become her stepbrother’s second wife but Lady Swan knows that’s not what’s best for her. That must be why Lord Cullen will have to drug her when he rescues her. You’ve captured my interest and I’d love to know what happens next. Thanks for giving me a glimpse outside my own fandom.

This was exactly what I hoped would happen … that some of the readers would enjoy stepping out of their fandom.

So this is for her:

I will be leaving the stories on this site until the authors let me know that they have posted them elsewhere and then I will remove the story and give you the web addy where it can be found ….

I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did … I have been asked if I will be doing this again and the answer is a big fat YES.

I’m sure you have all seen the disappointing trailers for the upcoming season of TB, so I’m sure I will have lots of material for banners hopefully some of you will be inspired to change the story to a happier outcome.

Thank you all for taking this journey with me. As most of you know I am one handed for now (hopefully not for much longer) due to surgery to repair my rotator cuff. All the authors will be getting a thank you banner from me in the days to come, as I can get it done.

See you next Challenge
