Blogger note: Guess who's back! Sorry it's taking a while to start this back up but the month of July has been extremely busy. So to kick of the resurrection of the SVM Fanfic Addicts section is my girl, CatieMak! I met Catie on Twitter, like I do most readers since my interaction with most fanfic addicts happen there. Catie and I started talking when we found out we both had love for the NFL. And then ... I found out she's a Pats fan. I'm a Giants fan. So that prompted a reenactment of Superbowl XLII ... and well I love CatieMak! Whoops, back to the introduction. With over 100 favorite stories, she's reads more than one fandom. Gotta love the fanfic addicts! So to cut my chatter for now, please allow me to introduce you to CatieMak ...

--------------------------------------------------------


Hi my name is CatieMak and I'm a SVM addict ...




What was the first fanfiction story you read?


My first fanfiction story was - I believe - Eric by DeeDeeINFJ. But I remember reading both Eric and Let Love In by Terri Botta pretty early on, which is probably why I'm so obsessed with the SVM fandom. Those 2 stories are among the best I've ever read. They are both absolutely amazing stories.

      Happy Saturday. You SVM Pimp here with today's highlights in the SVM/TB world.  I have fic spoilers for you to enjoy, a contest entry for Age of Eric, and some chapter highlights rounding out the end.

      On the fanfiction.net alert front, I've been experiencing delays all week but was so happy to find every morning that the SVMFanfic twitter account (shown on the right) has been up-to-date with everything.  It hasn't missed a story yet.  I even saw a tweet for Norcrisp76's SVM/Night Huntress series crossover fic called Wife Swap. If you notice that your stories are not being tweeted, let me know.

      Fic Spoilers
      • I spoke with Jan-of-Arc again about her upcoming fic with Robot Sookie and found out that it's going to be called, Eric and the Real Girl. She sent over this little teaser to give you an idea of what the story will be like. Oh and for those SciFi fans out there like me, when I asked her she said her aim isn't going to be a science fiction story, BUT it is set in the future and ... robots are involved.  For those anticipating this story like me here are the must have links to make sure you are connected with JOA:  LiveJournal.com, EricNorthman.net, and Fanfiction.net. And while you are there, check out her other stories!
      • In my next spoiler, I had an awesome convo with Bellawriter7 and found out that while working with  SlackerDee on another story.  Oh if you haven't read SlackerDee before, just know that she has a plot bunny breeding farm and just talking to her can give you fic ideas.  Anyhoo, the writer of Healing Blood told me that she's been fleshing out an idea that will pop her AH cherry!  Please note that the story won't be posted anytime soon and is still in the idea phase.
      • Breaking News! This just in ... just minutes before I was about to post this, Lubadub sent me a message from the road -- on route home from her Florida vacation no less. In Lubs teaser from the road, she let me know that the epilogue for Comic Con Connection will be posted tonight! So let's wish her safe travels on her journey home and look forward to the conclusion of the Actor Eric story.

        • Since Zhivago sent this to me as a teaser, I'll post it here. She started a new fic called, Til Now. It was the one-shot sample for the Sam I Am Contest that was put on hold. The story has been re-tooled, she re-posted the prologue and added the first chappie. Here's the story description: "Sam fell for Sookie; Sookie fell for Eric. Who will be there when the world Sookie finds herself in, crumbles? A/U Rated M for language and sexual content." Check it out and send some review love!

          So how did you enjoy tonight's episode of True Blood. Is Alan Ball's small screen fanfic holding up for you?  If I was to give him a review of "9 Crimes", I'd definitely request more shirtless Alcide please.  I won't complain if he gives us one of those pants off shifts.  That element 's pretty cool.

          Be sure to check out the new challenge for this week from Suki59 for the Weekly One-Shot Challenge.

          Sorry for not updating in a while. The holiday weekend turned out to be more busier than I thought, and then I had a couple of deadlines to make for work so I was burning the midnight oil online for the day job.  Kind of left no time for my hobby that I love.  But I'm back .. and in force.

          Because of the delay in publishing the daily post for a few days, I have a healthy list of fics to check out. So make sure you visit the Fanfiction Highlights section to see the new fics and chapter updates.

The project is called Alcide in Wonderland and Carolinagirl96 designed this banner for it. Recently, the SVM Addicts talked about S&S Alcide in SVM Addicts Take On: Alcide

            Twitter Updates:  A few days ago I noticed that one of the SVM Addicts, Smittenskitten, has a SVM/True Blood crossover fic called Dark Until Dead. That lead me to check out all the crossover stories for SVM on the site.  And I found out that there a couple that are currently in progress.  So I found a way to add crossover stories to the auto feed for the @SVMFanfic account.  Therefore, you will now see fics that cross SVM with True Blood, Night Huntress, Generation Kill, and Twilight.

            Along the same lines, I also created a new twitter account for Night Huntress Series Fanfiction stories.  Therefore, if you follow the stories and are on twitter, follow @NHFanFic. This account will also tweet updates from the NH Role Players World blog as well. The role players currently working hard to begin playing out the books on Twitter. Click here to find all the characters and start following Cat, Bones and the gang.

                The Age of Eric Contest

                What is The Age of Eric contest all about? The inspiration for this contest came from the fact that Eric Northman and his gracious plenty have been roaming the planet for over a thousand years. A Thousand years filled with incredible time periods to explore and history to tell. Yet, in the fanfiction world, Eric has stayed mostly put in the 21st Century. The hosts for The Age of Eric Contest felt that this needed to change.

                For more info, please visit the profile page: www.fanfiction.net/~theageofericcontest AND the blog theageoferic.blogpost.com. Hint, the blog includes pictures of Eric in uniform and "looking all historical and UNF worthy." as Zigster said.

                Thanks to everyone who sent me some feedback yesterday. It's good to know you guys are there and aren't bored yet. *hugs*  It was helpful to know that you guys look forward to things like the confessions from the SVM Addicts and friday posts.

                It was also helpful to learn that some would like to see more writers.  I rely a lot on Twitter to spread the word and ask for updates and teasers.  I recently joined Live Journal and some other sites--as Sapfirerose, of course--so I'll do my best to reach out to more fanfiction authors.  Thanks again, guys!
