Double Update Today!

I thought that, seeing as the calendar starts on Saturday (midnight UK time), that instead of doing an update/throwback on Monday and Friday I would do a double update/throwback today!

Also; if you look to the right and scroll down a little you'll see that I've added a Christmas playlist to the site! If you've on Spotify and fancy adding us on there we're under FirstLightFanFics.

Be sure to be following us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter too for updates and fun!

Now here's something new(ish):

I Wanna Kiss You So

Whilst I prepare this year's Christmas Calendar for you, I thought it would be fun if our throwbacks (and Monday updates) consisted of a collection of Christmas/Winter themed stories from over the years.

Let me know what you think of these stories - it's so important to tell me as I have no idea if you do or not and a lot of the time I'm just guessing as to what you will read. I've said it before but it's getting worse so here it goes: I feel like no one is interested in this site anymore and I'm wondering why I bother. I write for me; I don't have to share my stories but I do. Should I keep sharing them? Do they still help people to forget the real world even if it is only for ten minutes?

To kick off this month of throwbacks (and a *new* update somewhere along the way) we have...

I Wanna Kiss You So (5S0S)

Broken

Hi Everyone!

Sorry for the lack of updates. If you follow our Instagram then you'll know it was because my internet hub decided to stop working and I was without internet for a week.

Today's update is another throwback. I know I've posted a lot of them recently but with the calendar coming up and with new people finding us all the time, I thought it was better to keep the new stuff for December. It lets the newbies catch up plus I'm busy writing 26 new stories for December so hopefully no one minds. There will be a *new* story posted on Monday and there might be some new stuff here and there in November.

If you want to help us out, just visiting the site does. I want to boost our view count so share this site with your friends or share our social media accounts on your profiles.

My Only Wish (This Year)...

...would be to have people share this site with their friends/followers. I get that some people don't want to share it because to them this is quite personal but how will more people now where to send in stories if no one tells them? I love writing, but as one my best friends pointed out to me; I'm not a machine. I've been running this site since December of 2011 (from it's original address to this one) and have been posting updates more or less every week since. There are 52 weeks in a year and if we factor in a month total each year that I take out, that's still 48 weeks of updates multiplied by 6 years (up to Dec 2016) plus 2-3 updates per post sometimes. This year I've already posted over 40 updates and by the end of November there will be another 40. Then there's this year's calendar - 26 updates (one is a double feature) plus another 2 updates for the New Year. That's another 28. Last year's calendar had 26 updates too and the year before had 10. That's a lot of updating plus a lot of the new content has been written by me. I currently have one person who has sent me anything.

If we go by year then it's:

December 2011 - December 2012 - 48 updates minimum plus, say, 24 were double/triple posts.

December 2012 - December 2013 - same as above PLUS I had to rebuild the site in the April as the host's servers died and we lost more or less everything from when Michelle left.

December 2013 - December 2014 - same again PLUS an ENTIRE site rebuild with a new host and relaunch due to the host deleting everything and me not having any warning. If one was sent it would have been either to the original owner or to the girls that took over before me and no one let me know.

December 2014 - December 2015 - again; 48 updates plus, say, 24 were double/triple posts.

December 2015 - December 2016 - 44/46 updates plus 10 for the calendar.

December 2016 - December 2017 - 44/46 updates plus 26 for the calendar. Started work on the rebuild/launch on this host was back in May - I did ALL of the work in building it.

December 2017 - July 2018 (today) - entire site rebuild/relaunch and 44 updates (bi-weekly) so far plus another 40 to take us up until the end of November.

Add 26 for the calendar and another 2 updates for the New Year.

I also post to our Instagram account twice a week (plus on InstaStories) and update our Twitter as well as promote from my own accounts.

Then take into consideration that I do all the coding too and make the banners (shout out to Rhiannon who has made quite a few too and who did our header pic along with the calendar image last year. She's the only other person on the update schedule this year too).

And yet I still feel guilty when I take a week off here and there because of my mental health. Most of the new content has come from me - maybe I'll post how many stories I've written during my time here and how many weeks of updates I got out of them in my next new update.

So, yeah. It's a lot and for most of that time I was still in HS/college or working 40+ hours a weeks on top of volunteering in 2 other places. I have no idea how I managed it back then - and that's when people were sending in stories for me to post or sending in ideas and promoting the site.

I'm giving you my all - when I'm not updating the site I'm writing for it, making banners, promoting it or thinking of new ideas for stories and ways to improve the site/our social media presence - and, even though I do most of it myself, I do need your help in promoting it and sending in stories if you can. If you want writing guidelines sent to you or help then feel free to email me via our contact page.

Anyway, here's what you really came here for: the update.

If you have any ideas/requests for stories (my rule of thumb is pick a person and then 3 things you want featured in the story ex. Harry Styles,  a bonsai tree, a wash cloth and a pack of gum - as obscure as you want it to be) then please send them to firstlight.fanfics@yahoo.com or send a message to any of our social media accounts. I like a challenge and it would really help me to get the creative juices flowing for when I'm writing the stories for this year's calendar. I'll probably even use your suggestions for said stories.

Real Talk/New Beginning Update

I was thinking of doing another giveaway but I'm not sure. Apart from 2 people and myself, no one seems to be around and, to be honest, I don't want to hold a competition to either only have 2 entries or to have x amount of people follow this blog/our Instagram account etc who will only unfollow once the winner has been announced. It's funny because I see the numbers every day, I can see how many people visit a day and have a rough figure per month but for a good few years now it's just felt like I'm on my own and only putting out stories/new chapters to please anonymous people who never show any kind of appreciation. I'm not talking about leaving comments like "OMG I love your site" because I don't expect them but a simple "hi" would be nice, or for someone to introduce themselves and maybe have a chat in the comments. It would be nice to be able to ask those who visit things like which of the authors is their favourite, which stories they always come back to check up on etc. Does that make sense? I just want to know that I'm putting out content that people like and actually want rather than them coming back time and time again to see a certain story doesn't have a sequel or next part and being disappointed. I could put polls up and still will only get 2 votes if that so I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Should I do some sort of questionnaire/form that you can fill in and it will be sent to me when you're done?

I need help and for people to start sending in stories again otherwise I'm going to get burnt out writing and there won't be a calendar this year.
