Hey guys, long time! Long story for you, but I’ll try to keep it short:
          
          So, Wattpad lets you add a picture at the top of every chapter. At some point in my writing I discovered this, and absolutely loved pulling together something to display for every chapter! I worked as hard on those pictures as the stories themselves, and pretty soon almost every chapter of every story had an illustration!
          
          It used to be that Wattpad accepted only a link, not the picture itself. So I posted all my pictures to Facebook, and placed links to them in Wattpad. But then one day, Facebook changed all the links, and all my chapter illustrations were gone! They were still on Facebook, but none of the links I’d entered into Wattpad worked anymore.
          
          I can’t tell you how devastating that was. All that work, and I would have to start all over again. I would need to find somewhere new to store dozens of illustrations, then copy and paste all the new links. And who was to say they wouldn’t change all those links? I really couldn’t face it, and I dropped off Wattpad for, like, four years. Really sorry about that!
          
          So this week I discovered that Wattpad finally allows you to upload pictures directly for chapter headings, not just through indirect links. This simplified the process of replacing all those illustrations by an order of magnitude! It became a one-day job instead of one week.
          
          So I finally did it, and now all my illustrations are back! Hey I’m a Superhero, Ellis in Wattpadland, Prettiest Vampire, Bride of the Wolf, Frauleinstein, and all the others once again have illustrations to complement every chapter!
          
          If you’ve read these stories without the illustrations, I hope you’ll go back and just scan through to see the way I originally imagined them. Please leave a comment if you do!
          
          Love, 
          Lori.

            There is a long list of public domain music... I've been using them on my videos

@RichardStaschy I found out, YouTube has a page where they will tell you what will happen for any song you might use! and You Make me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra will get your video muted or removed. There are other versions that are okay though, but I'm not that interested :P

@LoriEllisxox I don't think you'd be sued.

@xtudiux hi and thanks! Brice of the Wolf and Frauleinstein were my attempts at doing something original along the line of a sequel, introducing all new main characters but reusing secondary characters and settings. But, something with Lilian or the other characters from Prettiest Vampire isn't in any near-term plans unfortunately. Not for now, anyway!

Hey guys! Long time. Just letting you know that I've written a short story you might enjoy. In fact it's a very short story, only 100 words! So not a big commitment "^_^"
          
          This is in response to a challenge from an incredible writer and friend @NeverTrustADuck, who asked me if I could write a horrifying tale using only 100 words. If you don't know her already, please check out her stories. You'll be glad you did!
          
          You'll find the story in my "Scribbler" collection. It's the last chapter, titled "Bombshell".

@NikaPanghAri me too! I love all monster stories so I wrote one for vampires, one for werewolves, and one for Frankenstein. But I like monsters to be fun, not just always scary "^_^"
