....uh-oh....take all your pills and divide them by color and size....

Believe it or not, I wasn't drunk last night. I actually don't drink, never have.... But I committed a serious error that likely confused the crapola out of some of you.

When I posted the update, at the end of chapter seven, there was a scene left in where Taylor comes out of the bathroom, and Andy's asleep in his bed. Well, as delusional as Taylor might be, we didn't want him to be THAT delusional....haha. He isn't seeing dead people ('Sixth Sense' anyone? LOL.)

And he's not stoned, hallucinating, or any of that stuff.

It was a simple error. Here's why. Originally, we got about 200 typed pages into 'Crash' we had Andy as a part of it, even though Em and Tay were split....then, I had a genius moment, and I was like, "Chelsi, what if Andy had died?" And she was all "NO!" LOL, then she realized it would make the plot much better, so we killed him. Then, we had to go back through everything we had already written, and change it to make it as though Andy had died.

That little paragraph, got overlooked, by me. LOL. So I'm really sorry about that. LOL. I goofed. (This is why it's not a good idea to do 10,000 things at once, kids.)

Other than that, someone posed this question:

Would I be posting two chapters every weekend, or will I do them one at the beginning/middle of the week, and another at the end?

What do you all want?


And yes, you can headbang to Michael Buble. LOL. I am, indeed.


Rock on,

"this is me. this is who i've become."

Hello everyone, Tiff here. Another weekend, another update, yes?

Thank you all SO, SO very much for your comments last week, they made a world of difference to Chelsi and I. I'm going to respond to them as soon as I post this blog.

That being said, you now get your wish, due to overwhelming feedback, I'll now be posting two chapters a week, instead of one. :) I think you'll especially like chapter 8 this week, though chapter 7 is good too. Everything Chelsi and I do is good. (Totally kidding, some of our stuff sucks. Really. LOL.)

So, anyway, I have loads to do tonight....LOL.


BUT PLEASE DO COMMENT! We love you if you do! LOL.

Rock on,
Tiff


Edit:
haha, I think you're gonna start getting used to these edits by me (Chelsi). So, if you've already read chapter seven and get to the end and are thinking "wtf?" pretend you didn't read that part. We had originally taken the story in a different direction, and then ended up going back and changing things. And apparently Tiffany hadn't gotten that part out of her copy. Nor did she read over it before she posted. That's what you get when you try to post an update and do a million other things. Gotta give her credit...she does good most of the time.

So...if you hadn't read it, and have no clue what I'm talking about, good. If you know what I'm talking about, pretend it never happened. Capiche? *nods* Okay. Happy reading. =)

"I want you to hate me."

Hey everyone. Another week, another update, but, before we talk about that, I want to mention this.....

The awesome Becca is back with the spring edition of the "Feel What I Dream" hanfic awards. That's right, season two. If you all remember, "Cannonball" and "Broken Road" picked up several awards last season, thanks to you all, whom Chelsi and I adore. :) So, if you think "Crash" is award worthy, why not nominate it? Hehe.

And, question for you all..... what would you think about us speeding up the posting process? Posting two long chapters each week instead of one.... The thing about this is, after "Crash" ends, and we post all of the extras, there might be some down time before we start posting our next story, depending on how quickly we can finish it. Would you all be alright with that?

And, chapter six of "Crash" is now up on Last Stop.

Please comment on this, the chapter, and the awards! We'd really appreciate it, because it really DOES help (LOADS) when you comment for us. :) It inspires us, and we write faster.



Edit (Chelsi):

I decided to get creative, and make a poll! haha, genius me. So vote. What should we do?

I am retarded. The thing didn't work, and I forgot to delete this. haha Sorry.

.... you make make me stay when i should not....

Hey everyone -

Tiff here. (I couldn't think of a cool nickname for myself, so I'll just stick with Tiff. LOL.)

I hope you've all had a good week. I thought I'd post this week's update a tad earlier than I usually get to do it, because you guys have been so awesome with feedback. Thank you everyone who has left comments on our blog, and thanks to Krystal for your feedback on VA, and Fran for your feedback through e-mail. We do read every piece, and we discuss it, and appreciate that you take your time to tell us what you think. We hope you'll keep doing it. :)


Chelsi and I have pretty much been writing our new project, non-stop. We're thirteen chapters and 96 and a half pages right this very second.... and we're nowhere near done. We're excited about this story, because we've racked our brains, and we do believe we're covering several hanfic firsts with it. As I write this blog, she's harassing me. LOL. I'm kidding. She's trying to get this chapter wrapped up, and she's been writing it for a day. LOL. It's L O N G. She's hilarious though, and a lot of fun to work with. We've taken to calling one another nerd and dork, among many other names, as terms of endearment. Haha.

We decided to ask, do you guys think we're awesome? LMAO. We were wondering that yesterday.

And with "Crash," wow, it's going by fast. Haha. What do you all think about it so far? Good? Bad? Better than "Cannonball" and "Broken Road?" We're curious, so don't hesitate to be honest. LOL. Seriously, we wouldn't be mad. We like constructive criticism, and welcome it.

And just so you know.... there are curveballs to come. Hahaha.
(Do you have any idea how much I love telling you all that?)

With that said, I just posted chapter five of "Crash."

I'm particularly pleased with my song choice for this chapter. (I choose the songs, hehe.) It's like *wow* in relation to the story, so I hope you'll check it out.... it's "The Weakness In Me" by Melissa Etheridge, and I found it last week.... and when I was doing a last minute edit on the chapter before I posted it, I was listening to it, and my mouth dropped open. It's so perfect.


What do you guys think of the song choices, do they go well with the chapters so far?

And, what do you think of "Crash?" I know some of you want to see Riley with Taylor, others want her to stay with Zac. You all seem to want Lexie and Ike to have a baby, and you're genuinely confused about the Emily situation. Haha. That's the way we'd intended it. Chelsi is a Zac/Riley shipper. I'm a Riley/Taylor girl. Yes, that made writing interesting.

I think Chelsi's got a message for you all, so I'll leave her to it.

(Now you probably think we're on crack. We kind of are.... Chelsi says it's "Taylor" crack. He has fun in our heads, seriously. You all should be here....it's insane. Chelsi and I type the *same* things at the *same* time, then we crack up....Haha.)

Thanks for reading! Please comment!

Rock on,
Tiff


Message from Chelsi (the great): I'm currently working dilegently on the newest chapter of the newest creation from Tiffany and I. I've officially dubbed it the chapter that never ends. Tiffany is cool, isn't she? Updating early and all....yeah, she's cool. And uh....thanks for reading and commenting and stuff. It's really cool. You guys are the coolest. So...keep reading. We can't wait for you all to read the end of "Crash." We think it ended with quite a bang. So uh..why are you still reading this? Go read and leave us some love. We luff you all.

“But we’ve got something that you guys don’t.”

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a good week..... Tiff here.

Chelsi and I have been hard at work for the last few days on our *new* project, and we're really excited about it. It's something completely different from the "Cannonball" trilogy.... We've already titled it and everything.... We're seven or so chapters in at the moment.... So it looks like we'll have something for you all when we finish "Crash...." That is, if you all want to read something else of ours. LOL.

With that said, chapter four of "Crash" is now up at Last Stop.....

Please read and leave us a comment here on the blog, we really love reading your thoughts, good or bad! :)

Thanks everyone. Happy reading.

Rock on,
Tiff
