New stories!

Yes, I come bearing new stories!

The first of these new stories is Songs Left Unsung, which I’ve been posting to LiveJournal, and finally got around to making a page for here as well. The second of these, Audience of One is so far just a blank page, but I will be posting the story itself soon.

I’ve also been updating Love and Other Socially Acceptable Emotions and Truth is a Whisper quite steadily. The former is winding down, while the latter is just starting to pick up steam.

And I’ve also added a few new awards to the Awards page. Speaking of, I am nominated for several Blank Page Awards and would greatly appreciate any votes you’d like to cast for me or any of your other favorite stories.

New story! New story!

Can you tell I’m excited? Hehe. The “unnamed collab” I mentioned before not only has a name, but it’s finally online! It’s called Truth is a Whisper and I’ve just posted the first chapter of it. Amber and I are really excited to see what people think of it, as it’s definitely a very… unique story.

In addition to that, I’ve continued adding new chapters of Love and Other Socially Acceptable Emotions. I’m getting near the end of it, which is bittersweet for me. But I hope everyone reading it is enjoying it.

As always, feedback is greatly appreciated. And, if you feel so inclined, you have two days left to send in nominations for the Blank Page Awards. I’m not saying you have to nominate me, but I would highly appreciate any and all nominations you send in.

Ch-ch-ch-changes

So… yup. Got a lot going on right now, and I’m very happy about it. My creativity seems to be back with a vengeance. Here’s some of what’s going on with the site right now.

First, I’m continuing to post new chapters of Love and Other… in the hopes of finishing it in the next few months. And I’ve finished posting What Didn’t Happen to the site. So that’s kinda huge.

With that, I decided to shuffle the “Finished” stories page around a bit, and added a new section called “On Hiatus” for the stories I am not actively working on and do not plan to actively work on in the near future. I don’t want to call any of them abandoned, but some of them may be.

I’ve also updated the “Coming Soon” page to reflect one of my newest projects. The other new project, the unnamed collab listed on the sidebar, is not on that page since… it’s still unnamed. But I can tell you that me and Amber are working together again on something very different, very dirty and very Zaylor.

And, I’ve added three of my newest short stories to the site. All of them had been published on LiveJournal, but had yet to be moved over here as well.

In other, non-writing news, I’m working on two fanmixes for the Hanmix Exchange, and having a ton of fun with that. I’ll also be launching new awards in just a little over a week, so be sure to check those out here. I’d love any nominations you guys feel I deserve ;)

Lastly, a big thanks to everyone who has read my stories here and on LiveJournal. Thanks to Steph and Bittersweet_luv for signing the guestbook and to everyone (I couldn’t possibly name you all!) who comment on my LJ entries. I do write for myself, but it’s also great to know that others enjoy what I do.

Some new and old stuff

I have this tendency to update the site and forget to post a new blog post about it. So I end up with lots of things to talk about that if you guys have actually paid attention, you would already have seen on the site. So here’s what I have to talk about right now..

I finished the seven required chapters for Worlds Collide for the challenge. The story isn’t complete, but I did at least finish the challenge. I hope to return to it later in the year, once I’ve finished a few other WIPs.

And speaking of WIPs, I’ve been posting a few more chapters of What Didn’t Happen. I’m a little over halfway done posting the story on the site, and very close to completing all the edits. Hope you guys enjoy it, as there isn’t much left of it.

Also, I posted an entirely new story that I did not plan on writing at all! Amber and I started to talk about her short story Four Letter Words and somehow it spiraled out of control and turned into a six part story which we called Darling, I Want To Destroy You. It’s a pretty odd story that’s not for the faint of heart, but I hope you guys like it.

And… I think that’s it for now. Probably.

Big news

Okay, my news probably isn’t big to anyone but me. But there are lots of changes here at Extemporaneous.

The first thing you’ll notice is the layout. Not only have I changed the header, background and a few colors here and there, but the full site is finally in WordPress. It still needs a few little tweaks to make it exactly how I want, but mostly I love it. It’s going to be so much easier to update!

And, since it is easier to update, I can tell you guys about the two stories I’ve posted — the last story of 2011 and the first story of 2012!

First, What Didn’t Happen, the story I’ve been sitting on since NaNo 2010, is finally finished! The first eight chapters have been posted here, and the others are coming very soon. It feels very good to finally have this story out of my system and out there for the world (okay, a very small part of the world) to see.

Secondly, my story for Jesse’s Don’t Judge A Book… challenge. It’s called Worlds Collide and it’s actually a Taylor story. That’s pretty unusual for me! Hope you guys enjoy it. The first chapter is up and more is coming very soon.

Stayed tuned for more newness, because 2012 looks poised to be an awesome year in hanfic!
