New Chat Time!!!

Thanks to our beautiful Jaxg for volunteering, the Fangreaders will have an extra chat time of 9pm EST.  Tonite is the first so please come in and say Hi.  We’ll be adding more soon.  JecaNS is currently setting up some Spotlight authors for this new chat time so please show your support.  BlackDeadOrchids will also be leading some chats as well so please keep an eye on the calendar.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The New Fangreaders Library

This is a place where our authors can post a list of their works as well as updates and our readers can post a list of their favourite fanfics.  If you are blog savvy, I can add you as an author for the blog so you can update when you want.  If you don’t feel comfortable in posting, please send an email fully set with banners & links to JecaNS , Pamismymaker or Fairy (click our names to send email).

***Please note ***

that we will only copy & paste your post from your email.  You may write out on Word if you like.

Every new post will automatically get tweeted from @FangreadersChat.

Story Chat ~ Captive by CoolStoryBroXD

Today the Fangreaders will be chatting about the story

Captive

by CoolStoryBroXD.

Chat will start at 8pm GMT.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Fangreaders now have the Fangreaders Library.  All authors are asked to make a post  listing their works (links and banners are welcome).  All readers are asked to list their favourite stories (Links and banners welcome) .  If you would like to be able to post, please contact Fairy so I can set you up as an author of the blog.  If you aren’t blog savvy, send an email  of  how you would like your post to look to JecaNS or Fairy.  We will then copy & paste it onto a post.   Please remember to add your Penname to  Label so your name will show on the sidebar.

Have a look HERE

True Blood Countdown Chat

Arggh We have to wait until the 26th of June for the Premiere of True Blood’s Season 4.  To help with our severe withdrawal, we are going to watch an episode of True Blood  together in the chatroom every Sunday until the Premiere.  We are going to start with Season 2 episode 1 today at 7pm GMT.  So get your DVDs ready.  If you plan on joining in and don’t have a copy of that episode please contact Fairy as soon as possible .    

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Merick came up with a great idea for Fangreaders Choice.  A Literary Dissection of story~ Read and discuss merits, literary devices & use of characters.  Thinking this is a great idea, I would like for this to be a once a week event.  Anyone interested in hosting this discussion, please contact JecaNS .  We’ll also need a reading list.

All About Eric has  suggested that we have a place for authors to get together and talk out any problems or ask questions about their writing.  I think this needs to be available anytime for authors so I’ll be setting up a separate chat room and send a link to ALL members to use whenever they like. 

From Fairy~

For months now I’ve been trying to find a way for our authors to display all their works together.   … A Fangreaders Library ~ What do you think??  Now you readers out there won’t be left out either.  You can recommend published works and other fics.  I can set up for all those that wish to be able to post their works/ links up as authors.  You can set the Labels as your pen name so all your works/updates are under one category.  If you are interested, please contact Fairy so I can set you up as an author for the blog.  (No snickering JecaNS ~ what’s one more blog *giggle*  )

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Now I know in most countries Mother’s Day is celebrated in May, but here in the UK it’s today!

Eric has a lil gift for you, too.

Fangreaders Drabble Challenge – No.4.Prompt: Drums
Jan’s sample Drabble:
Her heart thundered in her chest, constant and steady, like a tribal call. She closed her eyes lightly and repeated her mantra.
“I can do this. I can do this.”
She let her hands sink into the water. Letting the ripples it created soothe her. This is what she had to do; she had to let the water cleanse her broken spirit. It was much deeper than it looked.
Before Sookie knew it, she was elbow deep in the water.
Shaking her head, she grabbed the sponge and squeezed out the excess liquid.
“Someone has to clean this damned house!”

Fangreaders Drabble Challenge – No.3.

Prompt: Rebel Yell.
 

Jan’s sample Drabble:
Sookie couldn’t believe all of the things Bill had admitted to. She had her doubts, time and time again, but something stopped her from voicing her concerns. Was it fear of losing Bill’s love? Was Bill’s blood affecting her behaviour?
This time was different. Everything that came out of his mouth contradicted his actions. She could feel her body rejecting the controls that had been placed upon it. Finally, she found herself. Digging as deep as she could, her mouth opened. He would never manipulate her again.
“Love? You don’t even get to use that word! I rescind my invitation!"

Let’s Talk Lemons, Ladies

We’ve had a pretty good response to the Lemon Tarts with 30 people nominating.  There’s an average of 4 to 5 fics listed under each category.   Been debating which is the best way to give you guys that extra say in the nomination process~ So tonite let’s talk Lemons and see if we can add a few more. I know it will be tough. This kind of research can be gruelling.   So get ready with some links and see if we can give out some Lemony Love.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Mini came up with a great idea.  Let’s get everybody’s birthday so that we can arrange a special something for your day.  Also , I would like to get the city & country you are living in so I can make a map showing where all the Fangreaders are.   Just send this info via the Fairyblood email icon on the blog.
