Update Status:

TAT Ch. 25 : 4,5/12 pages written. SLOW UPDATING!!! Inspiration seems to be temperamental here.

UC: Ch. 8 0,5/6 pages written. VERY SPORADIC UPDATING. (I'm considering pulling the story and returning later with a more solid plot...PM me with your advice, please!)

Bella's Butler: Ch 4: 5/? pages written. NEW OBSESSION AT THE MOMENT.

New Story: 2/? pages written (Harry Potter)

I know my updating is not as fast as it used to be but as earlier stated, life is getting in the way and when I have the time, I'm more inclined to read stories from people whose ability to write exceeds my own. Thank you for your continued patience. Feel Free to PM, review or just simply read my stories while you wait.

A little bit about me

1. NAME: Ditte Mai

2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yep, a fictional character from a Danish book/movie from way back when the movies were still black and white and people couldn’t speak English fluently. Ditte Humanchild roughly translated - everybody called me that in school and I hated it.

3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Today…Why is not something you need to know.

4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Nope.

5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Roastbeef sandwiches.

6. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Nope, not unless you count me little 100+ pound dog Ben…

7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Off course, I’m very fascinating.

8. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL? Sort of…I just keep forgetting to write in it.

9. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Noooohooo….

10. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Weird question, but yes.

11. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? …Never again, done it once and literally had to kiss the ground to make sure I wasn’t dead due to shock…*shudder* never again!

13. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Not at all – it saves time just to take them off, and with me accidentally sleeping in at least twice a month I need all the time I can get.

14. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Sometimes. Physically, absolutely( have to be, seeing as I’m the youngest and the only girl). Mentally…Depends.

15. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Chocolate/Banana.

16. SHOE SIZE? I can’t figure those Americanized sizes out but I’m no Cinderella in regards to shoes. I have figured out though, that I’m 5.7ish so just take the standard shoe size aaand why am I explaining all of this. Moving on.

17. RED OR PINK? RED in all that is Holy Red. Pink is NOT to my liking and let’s leave it at that shall we.

18. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR FACE? I reserve the right to not answer that – It’ll make me sound extremely insecure and I’m really not, so next question, please. I’m not…*lips quivering briefly*

19. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? At the moment, my dad, who died in January, 2008, just two weeks before his 61th birthday.

20. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO COPY THIS? Suit yourselves

21. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Seeing as it’s 3 am here, not wearing shoes or pants…Get your mind out of the gutter *wink*

22. WHAT IS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Something Danish I don’t know the translation for, but I can assure you, it was delicious.

23. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? Pink, I’ve got a Pink addiction, so sue me…

24 IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Hmm. Honestly I don’t know, I was always a pencil kind a gal.

25. FAVORITE SMELL? The smell of freshly cut grass on a spring afternoon and (I know it’s corny) but my mother’s embrace – it has a certain scent to it, that I always combine with my mother’s love for me. Corny yes, but also very true. Come on, close your eyes and think of the last hug your mother gave you and tell me you can’t remember her smell just a little bit?

26. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED WITH ON THE PHONE? My beloved, albeit slightly crazy, grandma, confirming our plans for this upcoming Sunday…

27.THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE YOU MEET? If they have kind eyes.

28. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO YOU COPIED THIS FROM? I don’t know her – I followed a review she’d written for a fanfiction and just instantly liked it. And here we are.

29. FAVORITE DRINK? Soda…Gotta have my soda – fell in love with Cherry cola when I was in London a few years back, but in my small town here in DK, it’s not available so just any kind of soda – I need me some fizzing drinks.

30. FAVORITE SPORT? Not exactly a sporty girl, but I did go to Badminton for ten years and went to a few tournaments at one point in time.

31. HAIR COLOR? Dark blondish

32. EYE COLOR? Blue grey green depending on lighting and clothes.

33. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No! Yack, I could never do that – people can’t even put eyeliner on me without strapping me to a chair first.

34. FAVORITE FOOD? Another Danish dish I can’t translate. But it sure is yummy!

35. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDING? Happy ending off course – real life sucks bad enough – don’t wanna watch sucky lives on screen as well.

36. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED. I'm a movie geek. To quote Lorelai Gilmore/Lauren Graham, I like movies, good, bad and in between. Right now I just finished watching the mighty ducks 2 and 3. Hey--Emilio used to be cool!

37. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? Grey.

39. HUGS OR KISSES? Depends on my mood, but mostly hugs – some people have waaayy to much saliva lol.

40. FAVORITE DESSERT? Uuuhm desserts…Can’t choose.

41. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO PUT THIS ON THEIR BIO? Whoever wants to I guess.

42. LEAST LIKELY? Whoever doesn't feel like it.

43. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? I’m not actually. I’ve just returned all of my library books so kinda short at the moment. My own books are packed away because I’m in the midst of moving. But usually anthing Tamora Pierce, Rowling, Charlaine Harris, Lene Kaaberbøl or anything fantasyish.

44. WHAT'S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? A kariture of Freud’s face with a naked woman wrapping down his forehead. Her hair is his hair and her…err, female hair is his mustache and in the bottom it says; what’s on a man’s mind…Did I mention I’m the only girl in the family, so my humor has kinda suffered for it? Lol.

46. FAVORITE SOUNDS? The ocean, it’s very soothing. I live on a small island surrounded by water; I sometimes go to the nearest beach and watch the sunset in silence. A recommended experience, I might add.

47. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? … B.E.A.T.L.E.S. (but R S aren’t exactly a bad alternative).

48. THE FURTHEST YOU'VE BEEN FROM HOME? Hmm…To a galaxy far far away…I was in a Star Wars X-Wing once, but all right it was in Disneyland Paris, so I guess that doesn’t count. Well, I’ve been to a lot of places, England, France, Germany, Belgium, and Austria, Sweden and soo many others and since I’ve never been good with geography I’m leaving the kilometers for you kind person to figure out.

49. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? Oh yes, many . Told you I was fascinating.

50. WHEN AND WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Herning, Denmark May 13th 1985.

MAY 30th

Yes, I did delete SUPERNATURAL, mostly because I've been dabbling with the update for over six months now and after re-reading the already posted material, I realized that I've grown as a writer and that the story itself needed a lot of editing. I will however re-post at a later date, when I feel that it's good enough. I'm sorry to those who read it, but I've always said that no unfinished stories shall remain on my site, so I won't have readers falling for them when there's no hope. I hate reading Discontinued stories myself and I think this site would be a lot better if people were better at deleting crappy stories such as my own was. To quote a certain former body builder with a horrible accent, "I'll be back."

I can't even begin to name all the fandoms I write and/or dabble in.

Basically I'll read everything. It doesn't matter if it's drama, suspense, humour, tragedy, adventure etc. The only two things that I'm not really into( have read it on occasion, which is why I can say I don't care for it alot) is stories with MALE PREGNANCY. I mean, fics where the male character suddenly gets knocked up and pops out a little one and gets all gooey within a matter of two chapters...not my thing, sorry - And HAREM stories, oh don't even get me started on that... Just...no! But of course, one day I might stumble across a story where one of these things feature and will have to eat my words, but it hasn't happened yet and I doubt it will.

Reviews are a lovely way to please someone. When I first posted my first story I arrogantly said "I don't give a beezwax about reviews, I just like to write"...well, that's changed my friends - I Love reviews!! Remember that. Of course I won't withhold a story if I don't get any because that's stupid and immature, but sadly I've discovered about myself that it often makes me a bit slower with the updates if no one voices their opinion...my mind easily drifts from one plotline to another so if no one is reading the chances of me updating frequently are not so many. Sorry in advance for that!

With that said I will finish every one of my stories! I hate hate abandoned stories. If I ever get doubts about my stories, I'll pull them off the site and repost them on a later date after they're polished a bit, not leave them on a site where an unsuspecting reader might fall in love with it. Although I do tend to hiatus some stories sometimes due to either lack of time and/or interest...

Okay, enough about that; Let me just say I strive to review at least once in every story I read! Sometimes I'm too caught up in the story so it won't be until the end, but the important thing is, it'll be there, right? Please return the favor, this is our paycheck!

zzzZZZZzzzzZZZZ...yikes, boredom alert!

With a quick, but sincere thanks to all who reads, reviews or puts me on their favorite or alert list I'll bid you good day and

happy future writing

Ditte Mai

Reviews :

While talking to other authors, I get the distinctive feeling that stories are les and less reviewed by readers. Today, known authors get only one review for 40 hits, whereas when I started it was 1 for 10.

So I would like to remind you of known facts.

We write for ourselves, but publish to share with others. The only element that proves that the exchange does indeed happen is the review. It's normal to not automatically leave a mark for one's hit, but to never leave one is the sign that one didn't understand the meaning of publishing on the internet

Here, you are not passive consummer. You are not in front of the TV ! We expect more from you. As a reader, it's up to you to keep the website alive by actively participating to the exchange submitted by the one who publish.

If an author makes the effort to publish regularary, care for the orthograph and the presentation, try to write a scenario that holds itself, He has supplied an effort for YOUR comfort, and YOUR pleasure. If he has reached just a little bit his goal, the least you can do is click on the tiny button and come forward. Not every time, but regularary.

We do not ask you to leave constructive and detailled reviews. It always good to get those, but a simple "Hi, I like reading your story", a "thanks for the good time" is always welcome. You could also highlight a moment that caught your attention, tell what you think of a character, or even juste say hello. You even have the right to say "I don't like everything in the story, but I keep reading nonetheless" .

A good story is a lot of work, without feedback, authors don't see the point of publishing anymore. So if you want the chance to read stories worth reading, give the authors reasons to keep sharing.

I don't want to spoil your good time by a feeling of guilt. Nobody reviews ALL he reads. Sometimes, time is lacking. But I want to make you aware that exchanging with an authors can be very fulfiling, and you might find more satisfaction than you can imagine.

So take the time to review the stories that provided you with a little moment of dream and emotion

PS : It's a shame to see talented authors doubt themselves because of the silence of their readers.
