Changes & ideas



Hey everyone!


Did you like the new stories I posted for you yesterday??


Of course you did, and don't worry more is on the way!


Today, I'm here for a different matter though. I would like to share some information with you.




First off, today was quite a day for me in real life. I'm in an organization which is a non-profit, non-government one and its global and there I'm a new member to the IT team - meaning I get to help them manage their official blog, do pictures for promotion materials and such.
Today was our very first training session and besides getting a thorough explanation on how to work on Wordpress, which is their blogging platform - we also learned how to make personalized e-mails aka newsletters.
The presenter gave us the name of a website we'd be using for our official business but he said that we can mess with it in our free time as well since it's free.
So, right afterwards, I took the liberty of listening to what he said and meddle with the options the site had. I created an official e-mail for the blog and signed up. Easy so far.

Then, I explored all the options and combined with my memory from the 'class' we had about it today it was super easy.

As I was doing all of this, it hit me - the creation of an official mail for my blog was a perfect thing. I could make a newsletter for that - I said to myself thinking it would be great.

But then, I stopped and thought for a second.  A lot of people delete those e-mails because they often spam them with news every day. So, I decided in order to not overload your e-mails instead of newsletters for every post I make - which was my primary idea - it would be a newsletter for things such as holiday greeting cards, official PHF Events reminder, my own blog event reminders or FairyABC event reminders.

The next part followed. Nobody to send all this to. The only e-mail I have from the readers is from a fellow blogger - Marigold Sunjewel. But, still I didn't want to send anything without gathering more e-mails.

So, in order to do this - I'll need you to comment down below - fairy name and e-mail where I can send you this. I promise it's not malware or spam in any way. I just thought it would be great practice for when I use it officially.




The other thing I wanted to discuss is the following: 

You'll probably notice how the stories are not on either of the blogs anymore and wonder where they've gone to. Well, since I opened up a department for that over on Wattpad I figured there was no point in keeping the stories on my blog anymore. Instead, I created a bookcase on the Wordpress blog and I provided links for it on the Blogger one. 

That way readers from both providers will find their way to the reading materials - the stories & books. 

For more information on what the bookcase is and what it provides click the tab above!


Thanks so much for reading and see you all very soon!

The story is finally here...and a bonus...


Hey everyfairy!


I know, I've been gone for a while but you can thank uni for that....Anyways I'm back for a bit today and I finally managed to get a title for the story and I posted it.






Yeah...Tell me about it  šŸ˜“


Anyways, there's a little extra and another surprise so I did actually try making it up to you guys for the huge delay.

Firstly, there's not 1 - but 2 chapters out of this story. The link is this clickable cover below >




~ image is clickable! ~ 





Okay, so that's one surprise out of the way. Now, the other one is .... I started working on a Miraculous Ladybug storybook as well!

For now there's only one story - or wattysode as I call it ( wattpad episode - my own word combo ) thanks to me being forgetful and not having time to post the other two. But, that'll be done right after I've posted this.

So, here's the link to that as well via a clickable cover.

I hope you like that and if not, there's plenty of other things you can read on my Wattpad.

Before I leave you to it, I'd like to announce another surprise but for another time. I'm still preparing those things and all I can say is that it includes a reward for something.

Now, off I go to bed in the real world and I wish you a good night/day,

A surprise to my fellow bloggers


Hey guys, how's it going?


I'm sorry I have disappeared for a while, but....It was all for a good cause.

If you should decide to follow me through this post you'll see that 5  pixie bloggers from the PBC - The Pixie Bloggers' Community are a part of a project I came up with and finally managed to create.
It took a while to figure out how it all would work out, but eventually my brain found the solution.

Anyways, this project has been in my mind for a very long time and I only hope that you'll like it as much as I did when I was doing it - six times....yeah....for me sixth time's the charm apparently o.o





So, before I show you what I've done, I'm going to let you know what I plan to do on the blog.
I was thinking about what I can add to this blog, and I realized I've never shared my badges with you all.....

~ insert shocked faces here like so: šŸ˜² ~


This is why I've come to the conclusion that this blog needs a My Badges tab.

There you'll see all the badges I earned while playing in Pixie Hollow until 2013 and now in FairyABC in 2016.

The other thing I wanted to discuss is the story.....The one I once again failed to post a chapter from.

Yep, that story....the one you're slowly giving up on.......But that's okay because it's actually going to be posted by the end of my stay online today! ( I will try to do it guys, If not tomorrow....).

In any case, chapter one is ready and I'll soon start working on chapter two.

And now, finally the 'secret' project I've been working on:





 



I felt the need for this to be done....There are just so many amazing blogs out there and I am truly sorry I couldn't include all of them in this video. I only managed to show 5 blogs I know are always active and updated and I really am happy that this actually came to be because honestly you guys need A LOT more readers than you already have. 

And while those who watch this clip ( excluding you five blog owners ) go to see your blogs, they'll most likely notice the mile-long 'blogs I follow' & 'follow these blogs' lists and take a look at at least a part of those as well.

Now I'm going to leave you to it and...before I go, I have another treat......



Yes... Really professor Snape ....

Don't look so surprised, you know I always have something in my goodies bag for you šŸ˜‰

For all those who are Pixie Bloggers like myself and with that automatically PBC members, this is for you: 




( sorry for undeleted spot/s - you can delete them yourselves ) 

The Famous Fairy Badge 



Go ahead, and take your brand new shiny badge and add it to your collections. 


No need to thank me, in fact I thank YOU for being my readers and I love you lots!


Now, I've got to go,

Fly with you again soon!

New look + news



Hey everyone!


Do you like the new winter look?

Yeah, I know you do and I also know that you're wondering why I actually did this so early.

Well, it's because my exam session is nearing and I will not have the time to decorate the blog when winter actually does come. So, now that you've gotten to know the look I'll also let you know that this blog also has a new icon - however for some reason on the Blogger version it won't work  so you'll just have to see it over on the Wordpress one.

All the same, here take a look:


















It's my Winter 2016/2017 Badge!


Well, when the time comes you'll receive something similar but for now I want to share news with you regarding a story I promised I'd post a very VERY long time ago ( I am so sorry about this 0_0).

The story will be over on Wattpad shortly - as soon as I write a title on the cover that is.... Erm, yeah I'm working on that.

Anyhow, I've also got one last announcement.

Recently I was scrolling around the FairyABC Forum page when I noticed a thread asking for talented writers  like yours truly here to apply to be official moderator-writers for FairyABC.
I thought about it for a minute and without any hesitation I applied. And, well....See for yourselves:


( click to see it WAY better ) 



That's right - you're looking at an official - for the moment - quest writer! In the future I won't be just a quest writer - at least that's what I was told when I suggested them title names for my job. They told me that I'm simply a writer, and later on I saw that till some point I have moderator privileges on the forum too ( I don't think I can ban people temporarily or permanently though.). 

Well, I'm excited to bring you more good news from that front and as for my own home field - check Wattpad: @mtrainpanda today to see and read  The Pixie Diaries' new story! 

It will be posted in just a few minutes ( maybe even an hour ) - so please check back soon! 


Lots of love and happy flapping,
