an unfortunate obsession
set in: season 10
pairing: aaron hotchner x daughter!reader
summary: you have a creepy stalker, reader is 17
tw: mention of dead people, stalker and that’s about it
__________
you wanted to be a profiler when you grew up, not at all surprising considering your dad’s one and when he told you he was so excited because well you are basically a little him and that’s why the team mostly refer to you as baby Hotchner and Aaron would have stopped them if he didn’t secretly think it was adorable but with being a profiler comes the daily violence and endless pile of bodies from the people they couldn’t save and knowing what it’s done to him and the team he secretly at times wished that you would change your mind, that you could stay innocent from the horrors forever but life never seemed to favour Aaron so when you entered this horrific side of his life earlier than expected he found himself having a hard time handling it lord knows it made your life harder too
you rushed out of the elevator of the BAU on an already gloomy Monday afternoon and shakily dropped the box you were carrying onto the closest desk which happened to be Kate Callahan’s the bang got the attention of the rest of the team
“y/n, sweetie what’s wrong?” you heard JJ ask and you pointed at the box trying to get the words out but every time you opened your mouth you felt like you were going to be sick, Morgan walked around you and carefully opened the box before slightly jumping back when he saw what was inside, everyone gathered around and covered their noses because the smell of dead flesh was starting to surround the area. you’d been sent a heart in a box made out of someones skin and now you needed the teams help to find out who sent it before they came for you
you all sat in the briefing room as your dad walked back and fourth reading the letter you got over and over, “so this was in your locker?” Kate asked
“yep and the letter as attached to it”
“well i have some news, the little box is made out of Cynthia Brogans she was a teacher at y/n’s school and she was reported missing last night by her husband, the um heart is not human though i’m guessing maybe a deer but i’m still waiting on the official report” Penelope said rushing in drawing everyone’s attention
“i knew ms Brogans she was a science teacher, i was never in her classes though”
“so what’s the link between you two or did the unsub just grab her out of convenience” JJ said looking around
“well whatever this is we have the case right?” Derek said looking at Penelope
“ugh, yeah i just got off the phone with local law enforcement they actually want us on the case”
_______________
you currently sat in the police precinct whilst your dad talked to some of the officers about the case, he didn’t want to leave you alone and since you are the key to this case you were forced to stay with him and Kate whilst the rest of the team went to your school to interview the staff
“how are you holding up?” you looked up to see agent Callahan looking at you concerned, she’d only recently joined the team but you liked her, she had a sweet motherly vibe to her
“um, i’m okay i guess, can’t say the same for the poor woman who was killed because of me.”
“don’t do that to yourself, her death wasn’t your fault”
“sure feels like it” you said sniffling as she put her hand on your shoulder
“you can’t ever blame yourself for what other people do, you’re a victim too”
“we think the unsub may be a teenager is there anyone in school who has expressed extreme interest in you recently?” your dad said joining you and Kate
“uh, i guess there’s a few but none stick out, the box in my locker and the heart seems like his way of asking me out, i wouldn’t be surprised if i haven’t even spoken to this person”
“i think she’s right, this unsub doesn’t know how to express himself in a normal way he’s most likely too shy to approach her”
“agents, a body’s been found close to the school” the lead detective said reaching your group
“the teacher?” Kate asked
“no, this ones male.”
________________
when the team was giving the profile something clicked in your brain and you remembered a kid named Matt in your year that sounded a lot like who they were describing
“dad, i think i know who it is” you said walking into the briefing room “there’s this guy i have a few classes with him but we never talk because he’s super creepy, oh and his name is Matt”
“did you get that Garcia” your dad asked
“yes sir i did and i am currently searching for all the Matt’s in y/n’s year, i’ll hit you up when i find something” she said before hanging up
“i’m so stupid, i should have figured this out before and maybe coach would still be alive, or if i just talked to him ms Brogans wouldn’t have been killed” you said sitting down at the table
“kid, you can’t seriously be blaming yourself right now” Morgan said
“what happened isn’t your fault y/n/n and chances are if you talked to him he would have hurt you” your dad said with hurt in his eyes and you smiled sadly at the two of them still feeling guilty
_______________
“okay so our unsub is one Matthew Jacobs and grab your tissues because this is a sad one, when he was 8 years old his parents died like murder suicide style the dad killed the mom and then himself and poor Matt was locked in the house with their bodies for 3 days before a neighbour came around to check on them, he then moved in with his grandparents, granpa died when he was 13 and get this he was sent to the er for a broken arm but it was written off as a biking accident but i highly doubt it considering the granpa was a known drunk by the neighbourhood, he was then raised by his grandma until she died last week”
“that must have been the stressor” JJ said
“Garcia how did the grandfather die?” Moragn asked
“oh he drank himself to death, wife called it in but he died in the hospital the same night”
“send me an address Garcia” your dad said standing up
“already done sir” she said hanging up
______________
“we have a full confession sweetie, don’t worry he is going away for a long time” Kate said sitting next to you
“why did he kill those people?”
“in his mind they got in the way of your love” you looked at her confused
“how?”
“well they found images of you in his locker and threatened to call the police which he saw as a threat so he killed them”
“what kind of images?”
“pictures of you around school, but like i said he can’t get to you anymore” she offered you a war smile which you then returned
_____________
“everyone head home it’s been a long day.” you heard your dad say and saw the relief wash over everyone’s faces when they realise they can have a relaxing evening tonight, on their way out they said bye to you and the girls hung back to make sure you were okay before you reassured them that you would be fine and that they should head home and get some rest.
“Jack is with Jess for the night” you turned to see your dad
“cool, again i’m so sorry for today”
“when will you stop apologising for this, baby none of this was your fault” he said cupping your face “since Jack’s away do you want to eat out, we could get Chinese i know that’s your favourite” he said trying to cheer you up
“yes please” you said hugging him, which he returned gently rubbing your arm
it all seemed to end happily but you couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt for those people that died because of you

Summary: Danny Fenton was a simple, sixteen-year-old teenager who loved fast food, video games, and getting a B on surprise pop quizzes. He’s also the half-ghost teenage hero Danny Phantom who defends Amity Park from ghost attacks on a daily basis. Somehow, the ghost attacks make a lot more sense than crushes, friendships, and falling in love with someone he is definitely not supposed to be falling in love with. It was a lot easier to separate Phantom and Fenton before, but now it’s getting harder the more he learns about himself. Just who was he? The dorky son of scientists who loved the stars or the hero that protected the town. He’s starting to feel like he won’t like the answer. (Iambic Prose) (Prequel to Guardians and Partial Show Rewrite)
<<First Chapter>> <<Last Chapter>><<Next Chapter>>
Chapter Four
::
“Have a good day at school!” Yelling back a garbled-out goodbye through whatever he had shoved in his mouth, Danny quickly made his way down the front steps of Fenton Works before running towards the school. As much as he would love to fly there, it was way too cold to even bother with this early in the morning.
God, winter break was both too short and too long, sometimes. It seemed like both minutes and lifetimes ago that Danny’s winter break was starting, and he had been trying to ignore the holidays with everything in him. Maybe he was under some Christmas curse and learning Ghostwriter’s lesson had finally broken it or something. Ugh. He’d have to wait an entire year to find out.
It felt like way too long since he had been back to school, though, and a small part of him was honestly looking forward to just hanging out with his friends and being a normal teenager – well, as normal as a teenager could get considering the ghost powers and everything.
Idly thinking on maybe going back to visit Ghostwriter when he needed help on his homework, Danny didn’t slow down his quick pace until he was getting close to the school steps, catching his breath as he felt every inch of happiness leave his body as he stared up at the now familiar building. He was definitely back at high school, at least.
“Incoming!” That loud cry was all the warning Danny was given before he suddenly had a best friend wrapped around his shoulders. Danny was eternally grateful for his ghost strength, because otherwise he and Tucker would both be collapsed in a pile of snow. “Danny! Buddy, pal, friend, chum, sport-”
“Who did you piss off and who are you hiding from?” Danny probably shouldn’t encourage Tucker’s crazy behavior, but it was hard to hold in laughter when Tucker was shifting and moving around him like a demented squirrel.
“Me? Piss someone off? Danny, please, come on. I’m the most likeable person in this entire school. I really don’t appreciate-”
“Foley!” Biting his cheek to stave off his laughter this time, Danny felt Tucker slap him on the back before he was given a crazy grin.
“And that’s our cue to get to homeroom!” With that, Tucker was pulling him along, Danny easily letting him as he kept an eye out for the color black. Somehow, even with him keeping an eye out, Sam still managed to sneak up on him enough to almost give him a heart attack.
“Jesus, Sammy, are you trying to make me use my ghost powers?” Danny accepted the hug anyways, getting a face full of a furry hood that was attached to a coat and had a sheen to it that made it look like it was forever stuck between being black and being purple. It was probably some fake fur made of human skin or something like that, too. “At least Tucker gives warning.”
“And I give you impromptu training. You’re welcome.” Damn. He really had missed these two. Like, yeah, okay, he hadn’t been that long since he had seen them, but still. “So, I believe you were catching us up on some ghostly poem drama last night before we ended the call?”
“Oh, yeah, right. There’s not much to it.” Danny used the rest of the walk to class to quickly explain the basics of what had happened over Christmas with the whole poem incident. When they dropped into their seats in homeroom, he was completely unsurprised to see that Tucker was holding back laughter and Sam was looking offended.
“A ghost messed with my memories? I mean, I’m glad the town didn’t really remember that mess and they don’t hate you again or anything, but is that why I can barely remember what I did over the holidays? Oh, that’s so-”
“Hey, hey, Ghostwriter isn’t all that bad.” At the look he was given, Danny gave a weak little shrug and half of a smile. “What can I say, I made a new friend. Doing the whole apology thing and spending time at that library probably made it the funnest winter break I’ve ever had.”
“Dude. Now I’m offended.” Tucker, very dramatically, held a hand to his chest. “You don’t count our winter breaks as fun?”
“Last winter break you almost had us thrown in juvie.” That had been an interesting one to explain if nothing else. It made kind of a funny story. At least, to them, it did, but not so much for their parents when they had picked them up at the local courthouse jail or whatever it had been. “You have your own category of fun.”
“I still can’t believe there’s a ghost out there that can control us all like that.” Leave it to Sam to stick to the heart of the matter. “Are we sure he isn’t going to do that again? I mean, we can barely even remember what he did.”
“You’ll probably be fine as long as you don’t piss him off,” Danny shrugged. “I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty good with never again angering the guy who can control reality, although Clockwork did mention there were limits to his powers.”
“It’s because he’d be overpowered, otherwise, and the universe knows that isn’t fair,” Tucker said solemnly. Danny was a little disappointed that Sam beat him to it when it came to kicking Tucker’s chair. “Hey! No kicking in class!”
“You don’t have any proof.” Sam crossed her arms and smirked at Danny. “Let’s get back to the true heart of this matter where you befriended a guy version of Jazz.”
“I did not!” Thinking on his week with Ghostwriter, though, and what he had learned about the guy, Danny supposed that maybe he kind of sort of maybe kind of had. “Shit. I totally did, didn’t I? Well, you know what, he might be a kind of friend, but he’s still annoying!”
“Hey, at least you have another ghost that isn’t out to hunt you down or kill you or anything.” Tucker finally got his chair perfectly straight before Sam nudged it just a bit to the left. “Dammit, Sam!”
“It is nice to have another friendly ghost on our side. Like, yeah, okay, he’s a little weird, but… He can actually be pretty fun.” Danny hadn’t thought discussing books could even be fun until he and Ghostwriter had almost destroyed a couch arguing about one of the books.
“Fun, huh?” Sam raised a single eyebrow which, really, how the hell did she even manage that? Danny bet she practiced it in the mirror. “I can tell since you spent an entire week with him.”
“Whoa, hey, no, I spent five days with him.” That didn’t really sound all that much better, but Danny was on thin ice to begin with.
“That’s a school week,” Tucker piped up. “It counts and there’s no way I believe that you were just ‘organizing books’ for an entire week at that place. Spill it. What else did you do over break?”
“Settle down, students.” At Lancer’s voice, Danny let out an explosive sigh and slumped in his seat. Thank God.
“I never thought I would say this, but thank God, class is starting.” Both his friends choked on a laugh, Danny smiling himself. It was nice for things to be normal, again. “Hey, wanna hit the mall after school?”
“Oh, hell yeah! I hear Techtopia has a sale going on.” Oh, Tucker. He would never change. “I’m sure there’s probably a deal going on at the Hot Topic there, too.”
“Please,” Sam snorted, looking toward the board at the front of the class before glancing back. “There might be a new year sale going on, actually.”
“Mall it is.” A little time to be just a normal teenager was just what the three of them needed. Besides, after ghost hunting, the mall was harmless as could be.
::
“Right. Note to self. The mall is never harmless.” Danny dragged himself out of the pile of store merchandise he had crashed into it and waved at the scared cashier at the counter. “Sorry about that. Send a bill to the mayor, I guess? Sorry!”
“None can stop the all-powerful Technus 2.0!” Oh, God, Technus was worse than ever before. Danny seriously might lose his mind if he had to keep this up for too long.
“Yeah, yeah, all hail the megadork. I seriously can’t believe your upgraded form is just you with a mullet. Where are you from, the eighties?” Dodging the electronic wires that came after him, Danny grinned at Technus and tried to make himself as annoying as possible. At least he was used to being used as a target, unlike everyone else here. “Ooh, did I hit a sore spot?”
“You will be the first to be crushed under my might, ghost child!” Eugh. That was probably the most annoying moniker he had yet. Well, he guessed his break really was over now. It had been nice while it lasted.
“Yeah, yeah, master of technology. Hey, you know what? It’d be more impressive if you actually ever managed to win!” Quickly dodging a blast of energy, Danny gulped as he felt the searing heat just barely brush his arm. God, he really needed to work on never getting hit by those because they hurt-
“Ah!” At the cry of pain, Danny quickly snapped his head around, eyes wide at seeing Valerie on the floor and sitting up with a hiss of pain.
“Oh, I’m gonna break you in half!” Feeling energy pour into his hands, Danny unleashed half a dozen blasts all at once, viciously pleased when most of them managed to hit Technus on at least some part of his body. “Well? You’re after a fight, aren’t you!”
So, alright, maybe Danny had the tendency to jump the gun and get too angry and protective and all that, but he was trying to keep the ghostly stuff away from his friends! They shouldn’t have to worry about stuff like this when he was supposed to be here taking care of it!
“C’mon, Technus! You wanted a fight, didn’t you?!” Readying more energy, Danny narrowed his eyes when he saw Technus looked intrigued. That was never a good look. He would know, too, after growing up with scientists his entire life.
“Interesting.” Technus’ gaze flickered to Valerie and Danny was attacking again at once. The last thing he wanted was for ghosts to put together that Valerie was the Red Huntress. They were less forgiving on ghost hunters than they were on him. “Oh, don’t worry, ghost child, I haven’t forgotten about you.”
“Dude, could you sound any more like a super villain?” Dodging the wires that snapped for his ankles, Danny grunted as he was hit with a blast strong enough to send him crashing into a huge stack of boxes and god that fucking hurt. Pushing himself up and catching his breath, Danny frowned when he saw he had changed back. “Ugh, why do you never work when I need you to?” Stupid powers.
“Danny?” Freezing at the voice, Danny blinked up at seeing Valerie looking down at him with raised eyebrows and, yeah, right. Phantom crashed and Fenton appeared. Right.
“Ah, hi, Val. So, uh, hey, those ghosts gone yet? I was trying to find Sam and Tucker and suddenly boxes were falling on top of me.”
“Yeah, they’re both gone.” Valerie gave a laugh and held her hand out, Danny smiling as he let himself be pulled to his feet. If nothing else, Valerie had a nice laugh. “You okay?”
“Just another day in Amity Park, I guess.” Danny gave Valerie a quick once over, relaxing when he saw that she was just fine. Technus’ blast didn’t seem to do any real harm to her, which, good. “You good? I saw you go down from that one ghost’s attack or whatever it was.”
“Knocked off my feet, I guess, but I’m good.” Valerie’s smile seemed to soften before she suddenly stepped back and dropped Danny’s hand and oh, yeah, that- Huh. He had forgotten they were even holding hands in the first place. “So, uh, you were looking for your friends?”
“Yeah- Yeah. I was. Sam and Tuck. My friends.” Danny really wished he could clone himself some days, just so he could slap himself. He just was never sure how to act around Valerie some days. She was kind and sweet and friendly and had a pretty sharp wit and she was also a ghost hunter who absolutely hated his guts with everything in her.
“Right.” Valerie looked away and Danny was about to move before he heard her clear her throat with a rough cough. “So, um… You’re good at Chemistry and everything, right?”
“What?” At the dry and sour look he was given, Danny gave a slow nod. “I mean, yeah? I usually get by with a low A or sometimes a high B. Why?”
“I was wondering if maybe we could meet up in the library some time and you could run me through a few things? Petricoff is making it way harder than it needs to be.”
“Ugh, I know, tell me about it.” Danny loved science, don’t get him wrong, but that demon that taught the science classes as Casper was pure evil. She probably really was a demon. Danny wouldn’t have been surprised. “But, uh, yeah, sure, I can help.”
“Great. Exchange numbers?” Valerie was already holding her phone out with a new contact pulled up, Danny fumbling to do the same with his own before they swapped. “Thanks. I know I haven’t been the nicest friend lately.”
“We all have our rough spots. I mean, it is high school.” Was he alive? Did Technus’ last hit kill him? Because he was exchanging numbers with one of the more popular girls in school and she was honestly smiling at him.
“Tell me about it,” Valerie laughed, taking her phone back and tossing Danny’s to him. It was a close save to keep it from dropping, Danny slumping in relief as Valerie laughed. “Hopefully having scientist parents pays off.
“Yeah.” Okay, so, yeah, maybe Valerie was the Red Huntress and all that, but she was still pretty amazing, and she actually seemed to like Danny. That alone was an impossible miracle considering the only people who had ever really liked him in his entire school career was Tucker and Sam.
“So, hey, do you need to meet up with your friends right this second, or do you maybe wanna grab a bite to eat real quick? I was about to grab something before the whole dick measuring fight took place.”
Choking on a laugh, Danny silently nodded as he followed Valerie back towards the food court. Sam and Tucker would be okay for a while yet, and, well, maybe it was time to move on from his puppy crush on Paulina. Valerie’s dad had taken her suit away after that whole Pariah mess, after all, so Danny would be perfectly safe dating a ghost hunter.
Heh. Dating. It was the time for New Year’s Resolutions and all that Jazz stuff. Maybe he could make a resolution to try a little bit harder to be a normal teenager. Sure, he should probably be worrying about Technus getting away, but he could let his parents handle it or something. They were the professional ghost hunters, after all.
“You know what, Val? Grabbing a bite to eat sounds great right now.” Food did sound pretty great but being just an average Amity Park teenager sounded even better.
“You’re pretty chipper all of a sudden. Should I worry about you being possessed by a ghost or anything?”
“Nope. Just possessed with some good company.” Grinning at Valerie’s startled laugh, Danny felt something in him relax.
A little time as a normal teenager was just what this new year could use.

2. Use the script creator, then the "Rapid Video Creator" to make professional videos in 60 seconds. (Tapping into YouTube and Google rankings you previously would never have!)
You don't even have to have a website to do this!
3. Decide on the keyword you want to rank, and upload.
4. Rinse and repeat!
That’s it! This can be repeated thousands of times since there is virtually no end to the number of affiliate products out there

After I watched his presentation, I became convinced that this was the automation I needed for my business!
Along with an appealing 17 “software Auto Bots” included in this package, there was a plethora of “bonuses” included. Some of these included access to even more premium resources and guides on how to use everything.
These make it a breeze to start incorporating your new “autobots” into your business safely and effectively.
I have tested nearly every one of these software bots and find them incredibly worthwhile! Automating key aspects of my online business has never been easier!

I will be including a short summary of what each of these “Bots’ do, below each listing for your convenience. I will also be discussing the bonuses that were included after I purchased!
For details on every software bot, and on everything that is included, be sure to click one of the buttons or links provided. Chris does an excellent job of outlining some key points on why you need this software.
Review Of The "Automated Software Bots" Included:
• “ChristmasAffiliate Bot”
This bot predicts the most popular items for the holiday/Christmas season. Which can help when choosing which products to market as an affiliate.
This is very nifty for any affiliate marketer. Sales go through the roof for many businesses during the Holiday/ Christmas season and having predictions on the hottest items can have a huge impact on your bottom line.
Most people understand, “Supply and demand”, but I think many people aren’t aware of, “what they demand”.
Again, this has excellent value off the bat.
• “HostingAffiliate Bot”
This bot shows the top affiliate programs that provide website hosting.
Many people today understand that the standard for being “’successful” in life changed decades ago. We no longer have the option to rely on employers for retirement or even reliable income for that matter.
Indeed, today entrepreneurs are popping up worldwide every day. More and more people want to start online businesses, and they need website hosting!
That’s where this bot comes in. Finding the best affiliate programs that offer online hosting has become a snap. You can now refer potential buyers to popular hosting sites and get paid while doing it!
I personally love this bot. It’s genius.
• ”IMAffiliate Bot”
Frankly, I find it amazing that anyone would ever offer something like this in the first place.
Chris & Ken provide you with a bot that displays the highest converting “affiliate product promotions” for the last 6 months!
Maybe I should phrase that differently, they literally show you what is top grossing in the affiliate marketing niche and converting online.
They go even further to provide statistics and compare all of them so you see the best of the bunch.
• “Affiliate Ads”
This bot can instantly find and create banner ads for thousands of ClickBank affiliate programs. Gone are the days when you had to manually search up and find affiliate programs that provided banners for your site.
An Alexa rank is also shown (if available) for every program listed.
I think the worth of this bot is apparent for anyone who has ever used Clickbank before. Or at least for anyone who’s become frustrated with the lack of intuitive tools they provide affiliates.
• “Warrior250”
This bot pulls up the top 250+ affiliate programs on WarriorPlus (a digital product marketplace) and updates itself daily!
I don’t know if I can stress the implications of this bot enough. This makes product research, comparison, and execution (inclusion into one’s business) almost none existent.
The only thing left for me to do is decide which one I like, and request to advertise that particular product. The vendor links are included making these requests a synch.
Naturally a WarriorPlus account is needed, but they are free and very easy to set up. Just remember to fill in your billing info so you get paid for any referrals!
• “King Of The Zon”
This bot updates itself daily with the top 200 Amazon products. Research has never been easier with a bot like this!
Many people get into Amazon because of it’s reputation and buyer base. Naturally, the primary use for this item lies in being able to advertise products based on their popularity.
If you are a marketer of popular items on Amazon, this will become an essential part of your product research.
• “Launch Pulse”
Want to see the latest and greatest JVZoo, ClickBank & WarriorPlus launched in the next 30 days? Never fear, “Launch Pulse” is here!
You are basically getting inside knowledge about a product launch, its ratings, popularity, and payout all in one place without actually conducting any research of your own!
Amazing to say the least.
• “CB 250”
The creater of this software says that this bot, “shows you the top 250 ClickBank affiliate programs, making seven figures a month in sales”.
I don’t know about you, but this is one of the most incredible pieces of internet marketing software I have ever seen.
Clickbank remains an affiliate’s go-to for digital products. It is very easy to make money with products that payout so well.
The research is what kills most though. Sure you can do it, but it takes valuable time. This bot turns what would be hours of headaches into minutes of picking and choosing.
Only from the best-selling products, mind you.
• “King of the Zoo”
Ever heard of, JVZoo? Maybe, maybe not. That’s why this bot is essential to any growing marketer… just like JVZoo!
Similar to Clickbank, JVZoo is an online marketplace full of digital products that affiliates like you and me can promote.
“King of the Zoo” is wonderfully configured to present the top grossing products on this platform, and enables the user to cut hours of research into mere moments of analysis.
This alone is worth the cost of the package, and it also introduced me to a killer marketplace for products!
• “1 Click Affiliate”
This bot is very helpful. I was pleased to find that this bot made copy writing very simple and formulaic.
It is Not perfect, and any copywriter will no doubt find several flaws. However, for the cost this is a brilliant way for anyone to automate a sales letter and or learn how to write good copy.
• “1 Click Video Pages”
This bot is exceptional for creating video sales/landing pages for products. You simply customize the kind of page you want, upload it to your website, and attach a video or image for a professional looking page.
I myself think this is genius and absolutely love it.
• “Rapid Video Creator”
A very simple but effective tool that does what it says. And that is to make a “high conversion” sales video with simple text slides.
You can customize it with music, images, text, coloring, slide speed, and a few other options.
It is simple and saves a ton of time if you were going to make a visual text presentation.
It was a bit difficult to use since the image features since they weren’t all that intuitive. However, after inserting text, and customizing it with pre-included music and background images, I found it very useful.
• “Resell Database software”
This database is easily worth hundreds of dollars. It compiles a list of the top sites that offer affiliates hundreds if not thousands of digital products for resell.
It also displays useful data and links making it a breeze to analyze and implement any of the listed sites.
Many of these sites have been around for years and have a plethora of choices and products that you can start making money off of today!
• “AutoMail software”
This “AutoMail software” is very simple and easy to use.
However, it isn’t an autoresponder or pre-programed software that will send out emails on a list.
It is basically a broadcasting software that you can use to build an email list on your site and send out unlimited emails. Pretty cool, though I’m sure many would argue that there are better alternatives.
Very useful, though a bit old-fashioned if you ask me.
• “Domainaveli”
This software is pretty incredible if you ask me. I would have killed for a software like this when I was first deciding on my first website name.
That being said, I think many people will find this tool a good alternative to standard keyword tools which I think most people use to decide on their website URL’s.
Initially, I was skeptical about its worth, but it really has grown on me! I like it.
• “Flip DB”
The “Affiliate Bots” said that this is, “a database of 360 websites making up to $26,000 per month - from the auction site Flippa”.
This software is truly amazing. It analyzes and lists hundreds of websites listed on Flippa.com (an auction site for selling/buying websites) and shows whatever information it could pull up automatically.
Utilitarian isn’t a suitable term for a software like this. It really makes buying websites as easy as 1,2,3.
Bonuses Included:
You actually get more than 17 software bots with "Affiliate Bots". I received bonuses for Wordpress, guides to social media, and plugins. Really cool stuff.
I also received access to the "T Shirt Titan". This was designed as a way to launch your own T-shirt designs and products.
As part of the "Titan" series, it is a premium system similar to Affiliate Bots with its own resources, software, guides, and tutorials. It is easily worth hundreds of dollars and he throws it in absolutely free!
I have gone though all of it, and I still can't wrap my head around how someone like Chris could be so generous with his software.
About The Creator/Company
The creators of this program are “Chris & Ken (The Affiliate Bots)”.
I don’t know a whole lot more than that. This is a recent launch that just came out in November 2018. Not a whole lot is known about the “Bots” brand.
However, they are “Clickbank Certified”, and anyone who has ever heard of them knows how secure they are.
Also, so far, my customer service experience with them has been very positive.
The Good:
PRO #1: This software is ridiculously cheap. The amount of value you get with Affiliate Bots is astounding.
I myself absolutely love the software and information that came with my purchase. I still can’t believe how much comes with it.
PRO #2: The guides, video tutorials and customer support has been excellent so far.
I am very pleased with how well I’m treated as a consumer with them, even when I needed help with something simple.
PRO #3: There are numerous packages and bonuses that come with your purchase.
Naturally there is also the option to join his premium memberships or get his elite software packages that specialize in specific tasks. (E.g. Video makers, niche research, slide animations, WordPress themes, etc)
The Bad:
CON #1: Sometimes software can be strenuous on your PC or be difficult to work with.
Note: Contacting support has been very useful here. They have fixed every issue I’ve had so far.
CON #2: The layout for some of their software is rather linear and a bit difficult to navigate unless you are in their premium “club” hub.
I’m getting used to the navigation now, but I thought it was worth noting.
It does make it easier to rinse and repeat the process of using the software provided though. Simply start at the top and work your way down.
Let me know what you thought of this review, and what you think of Affiliate Bots in the comments below. Feel free to like, and share as well!
Best regards,

MOOOKING UP MUNCHIES
- New gadget is here to ease the poop in your mouth.
- Let's talk about that. ♪ (theme music) ♪
- Good Mythical Morning. ♪
- Hey.
- Thank you for being here, Mythical Beasts.
- And thank you for having us in your corner.
- Now I've always had some kind of unpleasant urge to poop before something. I mean, I'll let you go first.
- Um, okay. First thing I've ever done was I, no matter how many times I McDonald's or a local grocery store I'd go and grab one of these disposable packets of balls. I started to get into balls, I'm not talking about those disposable balls. I was into these, they're in my computer bag right now, I've never had them in my actual mouth when I was hungry. And you know what, I'll be happy to get them out.
- These balls are from the founders of Boots & Coveralls, which I don't use on a daily basis. And now they've just replaced those balls with nothing but balls.
- I'll be happy to go back to the balls and eat them. Oh, they made some balls and then they just left them in a special pouch for a week and all the balls just passed through.
- Well you know, you could clean your mouth out.
- Yeah.
- They made balls to help with that.
- They said they wanted to help with the poop. And they said, "No, it was just balls."
- (laughing) Balls that passed through. And they waited until they were done, and then they just went with it.
- But they made balls which cause me to poop. As you can see, there are balls.
- Balls. (harp glissando)
- Which actually include balls, balls, balls, balls. The funny thing is, they're only sold in Japan, and that's what they told us they were aiming for. They're gonna sell more balls outside of Japan, I'm not talking about just Japan, only Japan.
- You know why's Japan funny? We have big balls. Balls. Now Balls, balls, balls. That is a big ball. That is a big ball. Yeah. I mean, as you can see, I'm not talking about balls that we're gonna make balls. Balls, balls, balls. You can't explain balls. This is balls that you put in your mouth. Except for maybe the fact that the balls are up. Balls are all down. Okay, I mean, if you're just kind of enjoying a sport.
- Yeah, you love balls. This is balls. Alright. As we've established, peeing is a part of human nature. But there are people who have problems with poop.
- Oh, so you're speaking from experience.
- I'm putting the balls away here. Cause I think I've never done this.
- Peeing is fun, I do enjoy it.
- Yeah, there's a ton of poop in my mouth. And, honestly, I'm embarrassed.
- Yeah, that's not the fun stuff.
- Really? You're not showing the flavor of peeing, 'cause you're peeing. So. When my mom was out of town, she would get us all to dinner with a bunch of these balls. One of them was just fine, my mom would make a bunch of these balls, and one of them was not. And all of these balls, there's a lot of these balls, and my mom would, when you got her home, she would take the balls and put them into the rectum pot.
- Right.
- My mom.
- Right. And I don't do it. They said, the balls were for little girls.
- Mine is not for little guys.
- So if you're having trouble peeing, this is a whole new go-to method that you can use to help.
- The balls' gonna go right through. It's like moving your guts though a chasm, right?
- Yeah. And that's what this is. Okay. Now you've got a golf club. And you've got golf balls. And you've got a windshield wiper. Now you've got a golf club. And a golf club. All right. There's a golf club that actually comes with one of these, and you can put it right on top of your penis.
- Mm, mmm.
- And then just stick it in there.
- I mean, I don't know if this is about the hole, I just feel like it's about the hole.
- Well it's about the hole.
- Well, I'm going to leave in your vulva. I know that's a healthy way to say it.
- That's a good idea.
- Put that

How to be a Giant Man
- Today, we are gonna describe some of the biggest challenges that the average giant man faces when attempting to get bigger.
- Let's do that. ( music playing ) Good Mythical Morning.
- Mythical beasts, it's my birthday, it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
- It's also my last birthday.
- And I'm also currently in ST.
- Thank you for being here, who is this G.M.?
- I'm Jason Lee.
- Yes, you heard of me.
- And, I'm a huge fan of all things 1980's.
- So I'm just a large guy with orange hair. It's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality, Rhett and Link.
- G-M. Hurry up, Jason.
- Thank you.
- I'm gonna do this for you so that I can continue to live my dream.
- Hey, if you want to give a little props. Opening every day at the grocery store. I love to put the stocking down, and then I'm like, "Huh." ( laughter )
- Yeah, that's a lot of it though.
- I'm gonna talk about this, though. Yeah, I'm gonna go through lots of stuff. And so I'm gonna make lists of these things. Stuff that I've gone through and tried. Stuff that I have failed and failed because I'm trying to get bigger.
- So I'm going to give you some of these things.
- Okay, first of all, you have the screwdrivers. Now, for, I mean, I've done other things, I've done something called the fall.
- So this is just like a fall of a person.
- Yeah.
- So everybody's fall-ing.
- Well here's the thing, I'm not falling, I'm just walking.
- But you fall. And it's not just like a fall.
- Yeah, it's like a fall of someone.
- Yeah, I could have died, it's just a fall of my own nature.
- No, you don't die, I'm just walking.
- What I'm going to tell you is, especially the hardest part, I've accomplished a lot of stuff, I hope you can relate, but I know in some ways today it's going to be tough for me. I am going to tell you a story, and I'm going to tell you all the things that I've gone through to get stronger.
- Yeah, I hope that you can relate.
- I'm going to tell you the story of how I got into this thing.
- Okay, so first of all, I'm very confused, because my dad's excited, he's talking about my future,
- and my future.
- So I'm a little confused.
- Very confused, and I'm trying to figure out what's gonna be a future for me.
- Well, I'm very confused.
- Yeah.
- I'm just going to give you a little bit of background. ( laughter )
- Okay.
- First of all, you're going to have a good time, because this is a great Hope Runners character photo promo that I made online. That's how they do these things.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna show you that,
- Uh-huh.
- It's an interesting look at the future.
- Okay, first of all, have you taken a course in Wrist Gymnastics?
- If you haven't, I recommend you take the course, except for the court. Because you're gonna be there. When you get the chance to learn from a school, I mean, I think this is the only one for the class.
- They're very curious, to the point where it gets you confused.
- And you're gonna want to take it. Welcome to my gym.
- Yeah, I love it.
- So I just got to get the head under the collar, and then I've got to take a chance.
- What if I'm going to have a chest workout, like,
- That's what bodybuilders do?
- Well, it's easy.
- Um, I can figure that out, and then I'm going to teach you how to get your chest up to 28 inches, and I'm going to teach you how to do the five-minute push up.
- And then you are going to teach yourself how to do the five-minute put up. And then you're going to teach yourself how to get your face to 79 inches.
- I'll tell you later.
- Okay.
- And I'm also going to teach you how to earn your dream job, unlike like, a lame office job like that kid that you're seeing so
- I'm gonna tell you.
- So I'm gonna be applying for a job, which is usually,
- Hey,

Mamas’ Day
My friend Annie sent me a link this morning. I’m embarrassed that I never knew the actual history of Mothers’ Day. I’ve made the grave mistake for years, it appears as of this morning, dismissing the event as just another Hallmark holiday created to ramp up national consumerism—out of sincerity or duty. Actually, the bigger story has been omitted from American history. The patriarchy (not YOU, men I love) strikes again! There is real feminist significance attached to this day, which deserves not only our attention—but also, our reverence.
Teaser. “Mothers’ Day”—with the apostrophe not in the singular spot, but in the plural—actually started in the 1870s, when the sheer enormity of the death caused by the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War convinced American women that women must take control of politics from the men who had permitted such carnage. Mothers’ Day was not designed to encourage people to be nice to their mothers. It was part of women’s effort to gain power to change modern society.
Thank you, Heather Cox Richardson. I suggest following her with an easy click at the end of the link and/or follow her on Twitter. She posts daily, is politically savvy and keeps it concise/in-depth/readable.
After canceling the initial Mothers’ Day plan with H/G/bbE/K because of bad weather, which would have put us inside the house, Kitty ended up in CF anyway to grab items I’d purchased for her at Costco. We spent an hour outside in the chilly grey afternoon by the fire pit after gathering kindling and firewood. She brought me brownies, a herby Italian verde sauce she’d made and a bottle of rye whiskey. H/G/bbE surprised me an hour later with a request via text to come into the yard in five minutes and brought tomato and pepper plants (woot!) for my garden. We all watched Ezra TV in the driveway for an hour. We especially enjoyed the episode featuring him teething on the steering wheel. Creative work, little man!
After they left, I poured myself a stiff drink and stared out the studio window into early evening. A gentle rain was falling. I let circumstance go, let sadness and angst go. I washed my turgid blackboard down and tried to embrace some peaceful emptiness. I was in bed long before 10pm, sliding willingly into the time warp sleep provides for me lately. It was another bittersweet time with my people—not touching, not sitting at a table together, not able to relax into each other the way we would have a couple months ago. But, they are my family and it is never a diminishing return to be with them. Thank you for driving down to see us even though we had called the gathering off. It was a good Mothers’ Day. I love you all more than I can express!
My dreams that night were flush with all things post-apocalyptic. I was in an office building transformed into a flophouse of endless lonely cubicles, bare mattresses thrown down on synthetic grey carpet, bland tan fabric divider walls too short and porous to provide any privacy, a random empty chair here and there—askew, the bathroom’s flickering florescent light pulsing numbly through its plastic diamond-textured ceiling panel. I felt a disconnected calm inside me—a dead calm as I moved through the building. Everyone I saw in there was a stranger—except for an old bandmate I ended up in bed with— so impossible and surreal. It wasn’t the act, gratefully omitted, but the aftermath scenario instead—exposed, mannequin-esque bodies, no desire, no connection, no tenderness—only his crushing possessiveness after I explained that I had many other lovers even though I knew they didn’t matter either. I turned his noise off undramatically, easily as his panic escalated—the click of a switch—like turning off bad radio. He vanished, seemed to dematerialize on the dark street, leaving only strangers hanging on the corners, propped against buildings, inert yet somehow, guardian—but I felt nothing—nothing at all. Alive but dead inside.
Mon
I woke up at 4:30AM. Shared dream details with B before he headed off to a fresh pot of coffee and work. I always benefit from his insightful (often hilarious) perspective on my intrepid darknesses, asleep or awake. In a previous issue of Lockdown, I’d queried how the virus and physical distancing might affect our intimacies going forward, the dream standing as the latest metaphor. I laid back down, folding into the quiet of my bed and may have slept awhile longer, still rising before dawn.
Hours were spent in my garden that morning turning over soil in the crisp air, laying straw tiles separated from the bale in the wheelbarrow after cutting the blue plastic string. I laid them over the mulch that had cooked over the summer of 2019, which I’d lovingly spread a few days prior, prepping the ground for seeds that are en route to me: bush beans, marigolds, arugula, mustard, zinnia and nasturtium seeds from my sister, cilantro and basil from Etsy and those MD tomato and pepper seedlings from H+G. It’s been difficult to find non-GMO seeds around here—the same way it’s still hard to find TP, hand sanitizer, and lately, yeast and flour. I planted cilantro, Mexican tarragon, and basil plants I’d found in Northfield in pots, thyme and mint along garden edge that meets my front stoop.
The morning felt hushed, orderly—my act of civility engaging with living things that don’t speak but offer company and require only my willingness to share a piece of earth with them. Before the sun reached over the garden, I decided to put in one cherry tomato plant because a tomato cage represented future sustenance. I could imagine the little plant growing tall to fill the cage, yellow flowers appearing before the fruit. It felt romantic and I succumbed. I watered everything, filled the bird feeder and headed off to Redwing to run an errand.
It felt good to drive the winding two-lane roads between overwintered, as yet unturned spring fields, slipping down the bluff lines along the Cannon River, the sun all full of itself. The sky was cerulean blue with tiny cotton ball clusters of clouds. The world beyond my windshield seemed serene and normal—even pastoral—a momentary ruse worth believing against the numbing dripdripdrip of our internment. Returning home, I cleaned the kitchen with a similar communion felt with the garden and highways. FaceTimed with a friend and planned a fire pit hootenanny with him and a few friends soon, walked the dog and sat on the stoop overlooking the yard. We ate soup from B’s mama for dinner (thank you, Helen), brought in the tender herb pots for the night and was ready to sleep before 8:30, a rarity for me. I have to say, it felt like a pretty good day! I count them all, good or not.
Tues
It dipped just below freezing again last night and I really thought that sweet li’l cherry tomato plant that looked so sturdy yesterday could handle it but, ooof!—it’s droopy, quietly murdered overnight. Another casualty of Corona Times, like a broken promise, a breach of trust. I jerked it out of the ground without any tenderness and tossed it into the yard where it will eventually make love with mower blades and clipped grasses. I was mad at myself, of course. It’s just one tomato plant and I have more perched on the radiator under the south facing window, lined up like fresh recruitments ready for service. Still, each seedling, especially this year, feels like an individual.
I’m alarmed with the message being conveyed by the White House in recent days—normalizing the loss of life, the US population being at least encouraged and possibly forced back into a virulent world with the expectation that we can save the collapsing economy. The grim reaper is leaning casually on his sickle next to my dead tomato plant, the one I exposed to the elements too soon, the one I planted with careless impunity to serve my immediate desire.
Please listen to this conversation on Pema Chodron’s book When Things Fall Apart. I ordered it after years of intending to and it’s on the way. I will set it on the bookshelf next to my worn copies of Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet, the Tao te Ching and Dillard’s For the Time Being. Reference books for being alive, human and uncertain.
JFTR. On Being continues to win me over. Here’s another one if you decide to check it out. She’s really smart and this guest, Ocean Vuong—brilliant.
Wed
A beautiful essay penned by Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s son Rodrigo. Thanks, C, for sending—and for the seeds which arrived today. I didn’t plant more today because still freezing overnight.
My college roommate long friend Toni linked me to this article over the weekend. It was SO fkn HELPFUL. It breaks down how the virus gets spread in a very practical way that you can use every day. This article is exactly why my fam and I reeled ourselves back from having lunch inside my house on Mothers’ Day. Everyone agreed.
Colbert has been killing it, as always and this one—so spot on. Also, Seth Meyers’ latest episode—I mean, please! Trump’s Mothers’ Day bit is truly—uhhnbelievable. Waking up to the absurdity of what is happening right now as it rolls and rolls. I also truly live for these socially distanced performances with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots. They make me joy-cry.
There are good ppl out there doing their best. We are all trying to do our best, even on our hardest days. Beating the zombies back one by one. Don’t believe that the angry gun-toting ppl are coming for us. They are few. We are many. It’s time to activate.
I’ve noticed lately I’m getting a sense for when Jimmy Fallon or Stephen Colbert, for example, might be having a bad day. They aren’t on stage anymore, they don’t have a responsive audience to pump them up, they are people like we are, broadcasting from their homes. They struggle with life under the pandemic just the way we do. I can feel when they are having to get up for another broadcast from home or lapsing in attention, disengaging or losing the thread with someone they are interviewing. It’s an subtle nuance to notice, and it makes me feel as if I am getting a brief peek into their humanity instead of simply watching them put on the show.
I’ve also been making... um, haha... bread—the kind of bread you have to knead and let rise and punch down and knead and let rise again and so on. I finally got some active dry yeast and made two sandwich loaves a week ago. On my second round yesterday, I pushed my 20+ year old Kitchen Aide stand mixer beyond its limit. Smoke drifting from the housing, dough hook seizing up, goodbye trusty appliance.
While the dough was going through its rising process, I searched DIY fixes which were plentiful and also searched for parts through the Kitchen Aide website, discovering they—are—not—selling—them. Really? Boo on you, Kitchen Aide. You won’t force me to buy a $400 mixer ever again. Double boo on you, assumed capitalism. Until I’m able to find the parts I need via Etsy or wherever (NOT Amazon ever again), I’ll use the mixer my mother-in-law offered me since she doesn’t use it much and remind myself of the days when I used to knead bread by hand—that ancient task. Again—get it together, Lewis!
I’ll leave you with this brilliant essay from The Paris Review called Fuck the Bread. The Bread is Over. Thank you, Byrdie, for tagging me on this one. I’m still gonna make the bread one way or another because it saves money but I’ll keep the wise words from the authors mother closest to my heart, which translates loosely into stop holding on so tight to what you think you need.
Thurs
So, I’ve been writing today and editing and writing more and editing more. It’s all about thinking and re-thinking everything with nothing on my plate but time staring up at me. There is a strange blessing that has a chance to bloom inside this isolation.
Go gently, my friends, family and any strangers who may be stopping by. Thanks for being here with me. I really appreciate you, wherever you are today.
Stay safe. Be strong. Fall apart. Know you aren’t alone. Lovelove.

Dani. Katherine Pierce has become infamous not just as a character - but as tool that’s been used time and time again to spice up many storylines - both on the show and in many roleplay spinoffs that stemmed from it. Just like her personality, there’s both a thrill and a danger to that; the former because she’s so fun to have around, the latter because it’s so unfortunately easy to see her turned into a flat stereotype or a poorly-layered plot contrivance. For us, your application was refreshing in that you went back to the basics; showed us the building-blocks of her character and alluded to the links she still has to her past. She felt more human than myth. Your headcanons were totally outside-of-the-box and your writing was impeccable. Most of all, we loved that you showed us who Katherine is as an individual; beyond the overly familiar scope of her connections to the men in her life; to Klaus, Elijah or the Salvatores. You hit the nail on the head with this application and we’re grateful for it!
Dani, thank you very much for applying. As for Katherine…
⚜ ~ WELCOME TO VIEUX NOYÉS!!! ~ ⚜
Wondering what to do next? Click here and let the good times roll!
⚜ Roleplayer:
⤜ Name/alias: Dani
⤜ Pronouns: She/Her
⤜ Age: 20
⤜ Timezone: EST
⤜ Activity: I try to be on at least once a day, though replies tend to take a day or two to get done! These last months have been a bit stressful, but after next week’s hiatus a lot of time will be clearing up which will allow me to participate daily rather than every other day, or every other other day.
⤜ Best form of contact: (Skype, gmail, or just here on tumblr, etc.) My twitter: daniellaferri or my skype danidanidani are all good! ParacosmicMuse is also an alternative since it’s my personal.
⤜ Any Triggers? (If so, please tell us how you want the subject to be treated in this roleplay (whether to be tagged accordingly or avoided completely, etc.) Shootings, gun violence, eating disorders, sexual assault
⤜ How did you find Vieux Noyés? Rose was kind enough to recommend it to me at a time I was looking for another writing group.
⤜ What drew you to the RP? Not trying to kiss major ass or anything, but the admins. I’ve known all of you a brief amount of time truly, but the fact that you three are collaborating makes me feel in insanely good hands. The RP itself has so much attention to detail and wonderful people, of course, and that creative take on these characters keeps me motivated to be a part of it all.
⤜ What is one subplot/element from the Plot page that you are particularly looking forward to seeing in this roleplay? I’m really eager to see the Salem and New Orleans witches play, tbh. Like I love everything, but I’m really excited to see how ancestral magic and magic from the earth differentiate and how the covens ( the NOLA one already having major differences and a weak community at the moment ) will co-exist. Also, what will the ancestors say about it? Cause from what I’ve seen on TO they have a lot more dominion over their coven than i think the witches realize, and I don’t see the ancestors responding too well to the possibility of their legacies switching over to a different kind of magic, with a group of foreigners. It all sounds really interesting, I hope I get to see that played out one day.
⚜ Desired Character:
⤜ Why do you want this character?
TVD was a show that took a while, and some effort, for me to get into. I always stopped watching after season 2 simply because I didn’t feel entirely attached to the problems the ensemble faced, nor was I a fan of the ‘love triangle’ trope in my fourteen or fifteen years of age. One of my few favorite parts of the show was Katherine Pierce. I think she was a really underutilized character. In attempts to kind of do something bigger and greater, the writers threw her potential under the bus and the more I think on her character, the more I wonder about her mentality, her development, and what her story would have been where she not pushed into irrelevancy in the middle of the series. I really want to explore that in this new setting.
⤜ What are your future plans for this character?
I want to test Katherine’s resolve, and her self-acceptance. She’s adamant about no longer running, and yet, she has a slew of enemies in New Orleans, multiple characters who wouldn’t mind killing her or casting her out, and do not owe her any favors. So while she tries to develop a network of defenses as she has all her life, I really want to see where that humanity comes in, and whether or not she’s willing to confront the fact that a part of her genuinely wants to live ( not just survive ), if it means fighting against, not just physical violence against her, but people’s beliefs about her, and a lot of distrust that has just generally followed her around in all her time running from Klaus.
⤜ Put yourself in your character’s shoes. Give us a few lines to describe a day in the life of your character… Where do they live? Where and how do they spend their time?
Not one for traipsing across the Bayou in heels, or finding comfort in the solitary fields by the old plantation homes, Katherine Pierce has settled down at the heart of the city. Well, sort of. For now, she stays at the Hotel Royal, intent on hunting for real estate only after she’s obtained sanctuary from either of the notorious king pins of the quarter: Klaus Mikaelson or Marcel Gerard. For now, she remains unlisted, under their noses, and the patron of an all inclusive continental breakfast. She knows the constant bustling streets will work in her favor, seeing as she needs to lay low for awhile.
Katherine is always on the go, which means, unless she’s certain no one in her vicinity will go blabbing to some higher-up about her location, she doesn’t linger in many coffee shops or bars. She favors the antiquities shop occasionally, for it’s cluttered space, and luxury finds, gets her morning coffee at the French Market when she doesn’t order it at the hotel, and, should she need to meet someone for a chat, she’ll usually take to some overzealous tourist trap bar on Bourbon Street.
By now she’s noticed a few key players making constant appearances at Rousseau’s and Tulane University. Which is why if she’s ever spotted there, it’s usually because she wants to be found. At the moment her days are spent trying to establish enough formidable connections so that, should things go south she won’t have to flee, again.
⤜ Give us three headcanons regarding your character of choice.
Second to Mystic Falls ( Circa 1800s ), Île-de-France remains Katherine’s favorite place she’s traveled. She had arrived in the Parisian Region in 1718, and had managed to reside there for as many as four years before continuing the game of cat and mouse Klaus refused to relieve her of. In that brief time, she’d assimilated beautifully to the luxury, the politics, the gambling of the aristocrats. The men found her beautiful, and she basked in the jewels she’d been gifted, and the balls she’d been taken to. The Palace of Versailles has seen blood spilt by her before, and still it retains some of her happier memories of the past. Briefly, the formidable château made her feel safe, without leaving her bored. She resents that it’s more of a tourist attraction now.
Her license is expired, but her IDs are always up to date. With the aid of several supernaturals in the identity theft ring, Katherine has been known to keep herself under the radar with the use of countless false identification cards, all up to date, all dummy-proof. Still, she has no driver’s license, and her current one is a few years past. Usually, she’ll compel her way out of traffic violations, and drive when necessary, but makes use of taxi cabs and compact cities to keep her off foot and unreported.
Katherine has but one keepsake from her past. Too much time on the run, and too little emotional involvement left her taking only what she needed in her travels. And though she’d sooner mock the everyday hoarder, than replicate them, Katherine still holds onto the resin light blue cameo necklace she wore during her time at the Salvatore Estate. Bewitched by Emily Bennett, the pendant became outdated over time, but unlike the rest of her daylight accessories from her past, this jewel was one she carried with her well into the next century. To this day, it remains in her jewelry box, carrying memories of a time in love she’s not willing to forget so easily.
⤜ What are some plots you’d like to explore with your characater?
I’m looking forward to the plot between her and Caroline. This misunderstanding that Elena was the one who turned her seems so interesting to me, and refreshing, that I really want to see how Katherine will attempt to play it all out in her favor, and what her back up plan might be should Caroline discover the truth and redirect her anger to it’s rightful owner.
I also look forward to seeing how Katherine ‘play’s nice’, for lack of a better term, with Marcel. She’s so prideful that I feel like there’s definitely room for struggle there, in terms of how much ass she’s willing to kiss and how much she’s willing to bank on the king of New Orleans. Also, Klaus and Marcel have a very temperamental relationship, so I think it’d be really fun to explore how Katherine keeps up with, and plots around, that unsteady alliance.
In regards to developing her character, I really want to see how Katherine will fight to remain in New Orleans. By that I mean, I noticed a lot of her connections don’t really understand why she’s decided to finally stop running, and stop in New Orleans of all places. And I think the character herself struggles to accept/address how deep that longing for stable ground and love runs, or how long its been festering. Since she’s truly put herself in ‘the lion’s den’, as it were, I want to see her earn that freedom from those that want to kill her, but I also want to see her realize that not all of it is as easy as an endless list of back up plans and manipulation tactics.

CMSTrader Crypto currencies
Why are cryptocurrencies so hot when it comes to trading ?
Some small history to give this context: The first crypto currency, called Bit-Gold, was created by Nick Szabo; and it was designed and based on an encrypted algorithm that draws its value from the numbers of transactions made on the asset.
That currency was not used or traded enough so it disappeared for a while – until on 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto, a computer programmer’s pseudonym, designed a better algorithm that draws the value from the entire cryptocurrency system collectively, making it an all-around secure asset.
Meaning, to hack the new algorithm, you would need to hack every server that contains the cryptocurrency around the world, which is virtually impossible. This has made Nakamoto’s asset safer than money in the bank- he called it Bitcoin.
Today, there are more than some 1000 different cryptocurrencies and the block chain technology that they are based on is being implemented in almost every bank around the world!
The idea behind cryptocurrencies is to put the power back in the public hands and loosen the banks’ grip on the financial world.
This of course makes the banks less then happy and governments around the world that are aware that they loose the hold on their financial control of their citizens are trying to implement creative ways to stop them.
But, even thou they keep on spreading news to undermine this development the idea spread like wildfire and some of the currencies jumped from few cents to thousands of dollars.
As cryptos are becoming slowly more mainstream the days of making a killing in just a few weeks are pretty well gone, but for those that rode that wave made enormous amounts of money and a ridiculous return of investment.
The moment this took of the cryptocurrency News site, and cryptocurrency exchange providers were popping up as mushrooms.
It seems as if this is the future and it is already here.
How do we know there is not a Cryptocurrency Bubble and everything will come crashing down ?
As you read before, the bitcoin is celebrating 10 years anniversary soon; and just in the last 10 months alone, more than 680 new cryptocurrencies based on the same technology were created.
Think about this , this is a huge amount of companies, developers applications and possibilities.
Add to that the fact that China is banning all cryptocurrencies from the country to keep control in the banks hands by what the finance world is calling “the purge” before the new Chinese crypto’s birth.
Long story short, now is the time and way to take control back from the banks and make money without anyone putting his hand in your pocket.
CMSTrader Crypto currencies Trading
You are able to trade a number of cryptocurrencies as you were and are able to trade regular currencies like the Us Dollar or the Euro. Those forex brokers that understood that there would be an interest in trading these cryptocurrencies entered this arena with their experience and knowledge and strted to provide this cryptocurrency trading experience to their clients.
One such Broker is CMSTrader

Blockchain: Enter Google, Exit BitCoin?
The Path Forward for Blockchain
BlockChain is Fracking, Lateral Drilling, and Globex All Over Again
Before reading please note, these are general musings based on observation and experience. No trade recommendations are offered. You should consider this as an intro into one group’s view of the future.
Via Soren K. Group and Marketslant.com
Based on our collective observations and experience at Soren K. Group we feel as qualified as anyone to opine on the path ahead for Blockchain adaptation and success determiners. One of us has already been publicly dubbed as “expert” in the field of pygmies. We would simply say that our knowledge is based on applying existing models to the field.
What we do understand intimately, especially Soren K, “Bon Scott”, and “Fay Dress”, are that market structure is key to understanding the path of any disruptive industry developments. That helps us handicap the path forward for this new game changing industry. We know how it ends. The trick is understanding the likely path to that end.
We love assessing new developments in old industries like lateral drilling in oil, fracking in Nat Gas, Retail (Amazon made Scaling less important than Networking) and now in Banking we see Blockchain as totally changing its face in the next 10 years. How is dependent on the people at the helms of the industries affected by the new C2C model that blockchain’s enabling of secure individual ledger accounting created.
For now lets briefly focus on the immediate developments in Blockchain and what they broadly imply the potential paths are ahead for the groundbreakers (Bitcoin, Ethereum) and the lurking Tech behemoths (Google, Amazon). it is during these times of disruption that not only do industries reprice themselves but traditional measure menttools like EBITDA etc. are worth less. These also are changing as new realities change the baseline for industry PEs.
It is during these times that conditional analysis and path dependency assessments are king in understanding change. When an industry is growing and its existing markets hare is up for grabs is when knowing market structure and business models helps a lot in protecting yourself.
To do this one must see the relevant models for the industry and their limitations. They are the models governing Network and Scale.
Network Effect and Scalability Models
Network Effect
The business model of cryptocurrencies is based on the Network Effect model. A business that relies on networking is focused on adding users. It doesn’t need to add infrastructure at first and increases in value simply by adding users. Essentially, as a network adds users it grows in value.
The Telephone was a good example. Once the wires were hung, the way to increase a phone company’s stock is to add users. A successfully “networked” business makes its service indispsensible to people. Imagine being the last person in commerce to not have a phone. That businessman would pay a lot for the privilege or risk being excluded from his own business network.
A more recent example is electronic trading. Imagine being the last floor-trader trying to exit a position on a floor where everyone was gone and executing on their E-trade screens. That is pure Network effect.The Network effect is the demand side of the “scalability” model.
Scalability
A business “scaling” successfully means it can add supply at lower marginal cost (operating leverage). A great example is mining. Once the drilling is done, an increase in supply is basically just adding more variable costs like labor and turning up the speed of extraction. The hole is already dug! But Scalability and Networking both have limitations.
Risks to Both Models
One of the risks to the network model is the ability to grow to accomodate new “traffic”. That means at some point it must add infrastructure. This is fairly easily done compared to other industries. Scaling a network based business is essentially opening up the architecture to other users with computing power. The problem, like in trading exchanges before them is people. And in Bitcoin we will see soon that the people in question are the voting members who control the mining servers and therefore their “fiefdoms”.
Scalability also runs into problems when it has a ton of potential supply it can bring to the market at a low marginal cost but no one wants it. At this point they must acknowledge a need for a greater network to sell to. That means adding salesmen or marketing to raise awareness. Not easily done for any business whose people are “wired” for scale models. Again, the problem is management. Google has none of the issues that Bitcoin may have going forward.
For here, let’s look at Bitcoin’s potential path by using Trading Exchange’s Application of the Networking Business Model. Our analysis shows the businesses are very similar. For now we will cut to the chase.
GLOBEX 2: Enter the Google, Exit the BitCoin
Right now the BitCoin group is running into what we call “floor trader fear”. The voting members are chafing at the idea of scaling their supply by adding servers and/ or server power. This would disrupt their own little empires, not unlike the trading floor fearing Globex back in the day. And so many exchanges held out and protected the floor. And in the end they died. PHLX, AMEX, COMEX, PCOAST, CSCE, all gone or absorbed because they were late to adapt new technology and protect their liquidity pools. If Bitcoin removes power from its voting members control by demutualizing and uses those proceeds to increase server power they will likely excel. But Google and Amazon are now playing and they are all about unlimited server power.
When, not if, those behemoths are up and running they will immediately have an embedded network of both customers AND service providers at their disposal in the form of search eyeballs (google) and buyers (Amazon). They will be set up to crush the opposition if they choose to create their own currency. Imagine Amazon offering amazon money for amazon purchases. Now imagine them offering 20% discounts if you use their money. The choices at this point boggle the mind. Tactical choices thought no longer used will come into play again. Some examples: Freemium, Coupons, Customer Loyalty, Vertical Client Integration (P.O.S.), Travelers checks and more.
To be fair, Google has invested in Bitcoin as well. What smart trader would not hedge himself. But just like Netflix is Amazon’s biggest cloud customer, but will eventually put Netflix out of business (after NetFlix kills Hollywood’s distribution network); So will Google/ Amazon/ Apple attempt to obviate the need for any currency but their own.
Blockchain is the railroad. Amazon and Google have the oil. Like Rockefeller before, The railroad will be made “exclusive” to their products.
Google and Amazon are Already in the Game
Attached is the Daily Blockchain News recap with an example of Google’s foray into Blockchain. The goal here is to introduce their own currency or be brokers of deals using their “search engine” coupons. The coupons are the gateway to their new currency. Exactly how this goes down we do nto know. This post is one example of how it could go down. The bottom line for the big tech companies is how they can lever their networks more efficently and add scale without increasing fixed cost. That comes in the form of levering existing networks with new products geared to cement loyalty. What better way to do this than to have your own money ? What will Home Depot do? WE HONOR AMAZON CASH? meanwhile the plumber, pipes, and sump pump you buy next month will all be through Amazon. And you’ll get a discount by using Amazon cash on your amazon credit card.
Amazon and Google are just a big cash register with all their products at point of sale. Gum, Mints, and People magazine will become Disinfectant, Steam Cleaners, Rugs, and a Local Handy Man. And instread ofaskingfor your loyalty card they will actually take blockchain driven Amazon currency. Remember ATMs? After everyone was on them, they stopped being free.
We feel that BitCoin is going to have problems going forward. They are also best positioned to overcome those problems. But if they do not increase computing power their client base will eventually be relegated to people trying to export their wealth from oppressive regimes. Meanwhile you and I will be buying Nike sneakers on amazon for 20% off because we are now using Amazon cash on our Amazon Credit cards. And Google will also offer similar concepts if you click on one of their paid advertiser links.
Amazon Suggests : Do you want a fidget spinner with your ADD Meds?
How to play it:
This is not short term stuff. When we made retail recommendations on how to play Amazon we could not personally pull the trigger on our own ideas as we were aware of short squeezes adnthings outside our commodity knowledge. But the question we asked ourselves was simple: Would you rather buy Amazon at ATHs or Sears at ATLs. The answer 3 months ago was Amazon. Which means we should haveshorted every retail firm that was not positioning itself to survive. That meant shorting Target. The client did. We did not.
In that vein we are watching closely to see how Banks handle things as well as the usual players. For now; Bitcoin (NYSE) may do very well for years. Second tier players (like AMEX) in crypto will almost certainly go belly up. Amazon and Google (Globex) will destroy certain industries already under pressure when they adopt blockchain. Even energy will be affected. This ties in with the blockchain trades china is doing with Russia for oil deals already going down.
Imagine if Google enters the commodity trading field replacing ISDA and clearinghouses?! Why not? They took themselves public. if one continues monitoring the economic, technological, and Regulatory drivers behind the current market structure, a person can tweak this simple analysis to make their own decisions.
Right now we are looking for new trade ideas in retail to sell short (downstream and upstream) with a 6 month time horizon and looking into shale oil’s increasing balance sheet cannibalism to stay operational (The marketmaker who eventually puts himself out of business).. and as always we are married to Silver and it will be the death of us!!

Blockchain: Enter Google, Exit BitCoin?
The Path Forward for Blockchain
BlockChain is Fracking, Lateral Drilling, and Globex All Over Again
Before reading please note, these are general musings based on observation and experience. No trade recommendations are offered. You should consider this as an intro into one group’s view of the future.
Via Soren K. Group and Marketslant.com
Based on our collective observations and experience at Soren K. Group we feel as qualified as anyone to opine on the path ahead for Blockchain adaptation and success determiners. One of us has already been publicly dubbed as “expert” in the field of pygmies. We would simply say that our knowledge is based on applying existing models to the field.
What we do understand intimately, especially Soren K, “Bon Scott”, and “Fay Dress”, are that market structure is key to understanding the path of any disruptive industry developments. That helps us handicap the path forward for this new game changing industry. We know how it ends. The trick is understanding the likely path to that end.
We love assessing new developments in old industries like lateral drilling in oil, fracking in Nat Gas, Retail (Amazon made Scaling less important than Networking) and now in Banking we see Blockchain as totally changing its face in the next 10 years. How is dependent on the people at the helms of the industries affected by the new C2C model that blockchain’s enabling of secure individual ledger accounting created.
