New Chapter Posted! (11-28-07)
Alright, there have been no new developments on my little copyright infringement issue to report on. The owner of the group has not gotten back to me via email like I requested which leads me to believe the group is either abandoned/dead, or the members just do not care, either way I am not a happy sphinx. I will be contacting the sites Administration next and discussing with them the situation.
Anyways, onto less cantankerous news.
I have removed from Fictionpress Leave Me Here to Bleed. I know, “gasp! What? Why?” but understand that the reason behind this is just a technicality of the FictionPress.Com Content Guidelines. It states quite plainly under Actions not allowed: “Multiple entries of the same material. There can only be one copy of any unique story on the entire site. No exceptions.”
This means…yes, I am reposting LMHtB with the new edits I have made to the story over these long dry months. I felt bad that any and all work I have been doing has not been shared with my readers, and after my fifth or sixth review from a reader expressing their concern that I was no longer writing because I haven’t updated since February of this year, I decided enough was enough.
Though I still plan on getting published, and posting my work online might be mildly counterproductive to that, I am not so decided on being published that I have even started looking into a publishing company yet or what exactly it means. So right now I am just a shmuck with a website and a FP account, posting chapters of her original stories, like so many others.
I encourage you all to take a look at my new and improved LMHtB on Fictionpress. I do ask that you forget what you already “know” about my characters because a lot of if is no longer necessarily true. Instead, look at them like an all new cast, with an all new story. It may seem similar at the beginning, and some aspects remain the same, but the overall plot is going in an all together different direction that excites me and I hope thrills you.
Reviews are also helpful. Feedback from fans helps me understand how they are seeing what I am describing, how they like or dislike scenes, and it gives me insight into how I should attempt future scenes or notice things I have overlooked. I am not looking for endless praise (though I do welcome that too  ) I am always looking for useful and informative opinions. I hope to write something people enjoy and aren’t confused by.
With all that is changing, you can understand why I have not updated LMHtD in a while. So much is just not applicable anymore, but, me being someone who hates being left at a cliffhanger by writers, I feel awful for having not presenting you all with the scene where Christian meets his son…so I am working on digging up that scene for you all, cleaning it up, and posting it as a final chapter on LMHtD. It will not be exactly how the scene will play out eventually, but it will be close enough, and it will offer you all some kind of closure…I hope.
I will be posting an update with news of that post once it is completed.
As for this site, I am still in negotiations with Rob. I want to bully that poor boy into changing the Gallery and I’m not sure how much time and effort I will be asking of him, so I am not pressing the matter too heavily…yet.
