April Jester

Update: 
          
          Because my OCD would not allow a one-chapter story on my profile, I moved "Mist and Shadows" to "The Sane Asylum".   *sigh* 
          
          Congratulations to @CemeteryFaerie for their story win for WITW! I'm so happy for you!!!
          
          On a personal note: I am changing my laptop from Windows to Linux this week, so (hopefully) my lag issues should go away. I'll let you know the end result. 
          
          Have a great end of September!

Guess who is in the September edition of Tevun Krus?
          
          'Instinct' makes you wonder whether the instincts of our unnamed main character were on the money or not. Dealer's choice on the one.

Chapter Four of 'Tir na nOg' is posted.

          Also, I asked the Watty shortlisted author, our very own @katiegoesmew, to give me a quick edit, which is complete. I've gone ahead and posted the edits for the other chapters too, so there may be some slight differences. (I was not happy with how I characterized her rejected mate, as I don't want anyone feeling sorry for the evil monster.)
          
          Enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter Three of 'Tir na nOg' is posted, and just in time. Today was the final day of entry.
          
          @22Hamilton: My entry into the third round of The Eternal Thread is ready.

New story drop!
          
          'Instinct' is my flash fiction entry into Tevun Krus for this month's Stone Punk. 
          
          You still have a few more days to put your own story in. 
          
          It can be something you already have posted if it follows the theme. Because I had nothing, I needed to write a new one, and it's posted in my catch-all story collection.

I know it seems as if I've been on hiatus for the last two weeks. 
          A quiet AprilJester is normally not a good thing. XD 
          
          But good news! 
          
          TEGSA closes at midnight (just about three hours from now), and I somewhat get my life back. Next year, I believe I will talk some friends into helping with the upkeep on this. 
          
          Judging begins tomorrow. 
          
          Believe it or not, that is really the easiest part of the contest. The hosting is the time eater. 
          
          I am currently working on Tir na nOg in the background, as that is due in a couple of days, so you can look for that. 
          
          Freedom is not abandoned or forgotten, just not a top priority while TEGSA is in full swing. 
          
          The good news is that I will be spending most of my time on this profile now (along with Vampire, which I co-lead with an Elder Ambassador). 
          
          I will be checking on the TEGSA profile, but I ask that all the contestants tag me in any comments, so I see them here. 
          
          Happy September everyone!

Thank you so much, April! I’ve got a meeting with the Founder and Editor of History Through Fiction on September 9th, and we’re going to see if we can get a contract going. He also knows where I can submit Bill to for publishing opportunities. I wouldn’t be here if not for you—I’ve been waiting for this day after fifteen long years of writing. I am definitely going to put you in my acknowledgements for the story. The Founder is excited to work with me and Bill. :)

My entry is complete. Did I go too far? Probably. 
          
          Blurb: 
          
          Transported by a haunted bed into the video game fanfiction that she is currently working on, our writer must finish out the story as the villain, even though she knows how it will end. 
          
          Come join the chaos, twists, turns, and all-around craziness this short story provides. Hopefully, you will have an easier time of it than the writer did.
          
          This is my entry into the 'What in the Wattpad?' contest. 
          
          What tropes did I use?
          
          All.
          Of.
          Them.
