User blog:JustLittleOlMe/My October milestones!

First of all, my very first fanfiction stories got a glowing review in this month's wiki Newsletter! *jumped up and down squeeing after Gideon showed her the review!* Second, I hit 100 edits around October 3rd. :) And finally, because of that, I CAN VOTE this month!!  (And I already did :D) *jumps up and down again!* *has to sit down and catch her breath* XD jk

Thank you all for your wonderfully warm welcomes and friendships, and most importantly, your encouragement to write something fun and entertaining! I forget who, on my first or second day, asked if I would have any interest in a collaboration, and they would help me get into it. I said I'd consider it, then replied yes on their talk page(?).

That day or the next the idea occurred to me that I could do TDI from the often ignored animals' perspectives, and I didn't see anything like that here. Neither did Gideon, so I asked Rhonda and Reddy if I could use their names, and they kindly agreed. :) I'd only been here a very few days, so they were brave in my opinion :D  I also love that we get 'immediate' feedback on our posts. :)

As soon as I'd decided to (try to) write an original fanfic, I think (read: hope) I told the collaborator person that I needed to decline their offer for now.

And finally, thank you for any constructive criticism as well as positive feedback! I might do some stories out of order, simply because some of you have mentioned particular scenes you'd like to see. My only slow area for writing these, really, is coming up with an actual plot. I've been working on the cockroach story for a while, now, but when I got a plot idea for the loon, I wrote that story in about 2 days, then edited it the third day and posted it that evening.

I'm getting sort of bogged down with my cockroach story, but I'm hoping I can have at least one chapter [:O] up by the end of the month.

Thank you wiki family, and I hope to see you on Chat/Chatango sometime!
