November 13, 2012, at 7:45 AM (GMT-5): The weeks go by so quickly...
Good morning, everyone! I'm writing this first blog post to let you know what's going on, and why it takes me so long to update my stories. First of all, I sincerely apologize for the super-sized waiting time.

I'm more than a writer, however. I'm an MMORPG addict :), a friend, a daughter, a granddaughter, an activist for LGBT rights, an internet fanatic, a dreamer, and a cat person. I'm sure there's more that isn't coming to mind at the moment, but my point is probably 99% made by now. I'm currently in love with two computer games from KingsIsle, Wizard101 and Pirate101, and have admittedly been playing them when I should have been writing. No, I'm not proud of it; I know I have a responsibility to all of you, but I think it's that least I can do to be fully honest with you guys.

Even without W101 and P101, I have a lot of trouble writing. Whether I can write on a particular day largely depends on whether I take my ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) medicine the right way that morning (in other words, on an empty stomach). I writer much more at a time when I can focus on just one task: finishing the current chapter-in-progress.

Again, I'm sorry to all of you who've been waiting patiently for Chapter 4 of Yesterday's Gone. I will be posting it, I promise you. Meanwhile, stay awesome! Also, I encourage you to leave a review or three if you haven't already; reviews really do help to speed up the process.

Until next time,
Rebecca


* My Harry Potter Fanfiction *

-- By Firelight --
Rated: T
Ships: Draco/Ginny - Harry/Ginny - Albus/Minerva
Summary: Barely sixteen years old and fearing for his mother's life, Draco stepped up in his father's absence to take his place amongst the Death Eaters. The following year at Hogwarts School was, without a doubt, the hardest he had ever endured.
Now seventeen, the young Malfoy seeks to keep safe all he loves by doing the opposite, and taking the golden advice Albus Dumbledore had left him minutes before his death.
Warnings:
Mild language; Mild-to-moderate violence (mostly magical, 100-percent gore-free), particularly in relation to domestic violence.
Author's Note: Beta read by Arnel among others. Thanks!

-- The Wishing Well --
Rated: K
Ships: None
Summary: A Draco one-shot, taking place the night he became a reluctant Death Eater.
Author's Note: The Wishing Well was going to be a chaptered story, but I made it a one-shot, so that I could focus on By Firelight.

* My Glee Fanfiction *

-- Yesterday's Gone --
Status: Work In Progress
Rated: T
Ships: Sam/Quinn - Finn/Rachel - Kurt/Blaine
Summary: Based on Episode 2.19, "Rumours" - When times prove harder than ever before, Sam realizes his damaged reputation at McKinley is the least of his worries.
Long Summary: As if the school newspaper’s libelous reports about him aren’t bad enough, Sam gets a bitter taste of what a recession can do when he sees his family’s situation continue to worsen. Quinn, who has already helped him on multiple occasions, risks her reputation and her relationship with Finn to continue helping the Evans family, despite the damage the Muckraker has already done.

Meanwhile, Sam still loves Quinn deeply, and decides that her aid in the worst of times is more than enough reason to forgive her for cheating. Out of respect for her, he keeps his feelings a solemn secret, as much as he longs to tell her, and to know if she feels the same way about him.
Warnings: Occasional teen-level language; nothing you wouldn't hear on the show. (Possibly more warnings to come...)
Author's Notes: Based on the episode, "Rumours," from Season 2, and AU thereafter. Beta read by BananaBat18.
