Frisky Friday

It's Friday and that means we have a Frisky Friday fic rec. What juicy little jiblet do we tonight?  "Springeresque" Chapter 16 by LyricalKris. 

Summary: Alice Brandon Whitlock is twenty-two years old and the story of her life already read like a tragedy- a tragedy worthy of the Jerry Springer show in its twists and turns. Charlie Swan's life was more sedate, but it hadn't always been. You never can tell how or when two souls will connect or what they can do for each other.

Banner is the property of LyricalKris

You all should know by now that I am a non-canon lover.  In this AH fic, LyricalKris pairs up Charlie  & Alice. Oh don't look all shocked. Stop that gasping. You know you wanted it.  Charlie and Alice have something in common here and their chemistry burns down my computer or phone whenever I read an update.

So that brings us to Chapter 16 of Springeresque. At this point, this isn't the first time hat Alice and Charlie has heated things up.  But let me tell you that you gotta break up, to make up.  If you don't know who the Stylistics are, then you need to listen to this and you'll totally understand.

Here is a snippet from that chapter:

Alice got up then and pulled him to his feet with her. She pushed up onto her tiptoes, put her lips to the space just below his ear and began to suck and nibble lightly. Charlie made a noise that should have embarrassed him, but he found he was quickly losing the ability to think. He tugged at her shirt, and she fumbled at the button of his jeans.

I can't give ya any more than that. You gotta read the story from start to now. Good lawd! I feel ya Charlie. I also got a few moments to ask the fabulous LyricalKris some questions. 

TUS: You are like a writing palooza of fanfiction. And loving the number of fics you've written. What made you want to start writing?

LK: When I was little, I wanted to be an actress. As I grew up, I figured out that to be an actress, you had to have a talent for acting, or at least charisma, of which I had neither. But by that time, I had figured out I liked to write. I was in fourth grade, and our teacher was fond of making us learn by writing stories about his two dogs talking about whatever we had learned that day. So I got it into my head that I would like to write movies (I still do), and I've been a writer ever since.

TUS: There are more Edward/Bella fics than you shake a stick at. You have contributed a few to those :). But I am non-canon girl and you have slayed me with the fics you have written in that category. Which do you prefer to write? Canon or Non-canon.

LK: This is a tough question. On the one hand, Edward and Bella are easy. Obviously, the reason I'm in the Twilight fandom at all are because I fell in love with those characters, particularly Bella, whom I utterly adore. The reason I got into the fandom is because when I got to the end of the books, I wasn't ready to be DONE with them. To a large extent, I'm still not. But as a fanfic writer they are the easier, expected pairing to write. And I'm not going to lie, the fact I've gotten up to 6,000 reviews on an E/B fanfic and would never even get CLOSE to that with a non-canon fanfic is a draw. We all like attention, and I'm not ashamed of that.

However, non-canon has its draws too as Stephenie Meyer gave us a plethora of fascinating characters. Jasper the empath? I've done awesome things with that. Carlisle with his compassion and sense of self control? Awesome. Especially because a lot of my non-canon is M/M, I have adored exploring the depths of these amazing characters. I often find I get a deeper sense of satisfaction out of a non-canon fic, particularly if it's a pairing that people were wary of at first.

TUS: Springeresque is a story about so many things, but let's talk about the chemistry between Charlie/Alice? Steaming up my screen every single time! Have you always seen that?

LK: I have always…acknowledged the possibility. For a lot of pairings, there is absolutely NO connection in canon. Jasper/Edward comes to mind. However, there is the tiniest seed of Alice/Charlie. It's in the books AND the movies that he enjoys her company. That's all you really need—a small foundation. There was a connection there that could be expanded and built upon. However, I personally resisted this idea until I asked jessypt what she wanted for her birthday and she chose Alice/Charlie. From there, it was a matter of digging deeper into why Charlie took such a shine to Alice and why she might, under the right set of circumstances, come to love him.

TUS: Also we have this May/December steamfest going on. It's why I married an older man myself lol. Alice was once married to someone her age. Does Charlie's age add to her attraction to him? And vice versa?

LK: The age factor is neither a draw nor a detriment to this couple. Well. Charlie worries about it in a sense. He's always felt older than he is to begin with, and he's not quite sure how he ended up with a woman really close to his daughter's age. It makes him the tiniest bit incredulous but not enough that it's a negative for him. As for Alice, with the exception of her bouts of self-doubt, age isn't anything but a number to her. In their case, neither really looked at the other as being attractive one way or another until they spent so much time together. Them falling for each other was an accident. It wasn't the situation or anything they look for in a mate, if that makes sense.

TUS: Anything else down the pike for you? New steamy fics on the way after this one?

LK: I always have something brewing. Currently, I'm working on three fanfics, three ofics, and the Twilight Twenty-Five! As for fanfic, I do have a couple sitting on the shelf, waiting to see if I can make them gel. I have a reincarnation piece I want to do figuring that E/B were always together throughout time and constantly ripped apart until they got their forever in canon. I'm also toying with a fic based on the idea of Sleepless in Seattle. … I'm also toying with a fic for Barburella who wanted a COUGAR Bella with a younger CARLISLE… It might take me a while to wrap my head around THAT one, but I do have a plot.

So the answer to your questions is… always. Always something on the horizon for me. I can't seem to stop.

-----

Omg after that interview I think my girl, SagaDevotee, has just fainted. So let me go pick her up so we can fan girl together over the possibilities of Older Bella/Younger Carlisle. Thank you so much to LyricalKris for writing such an amazing story. It truly is beautiful. Go read it folk!

Chapter 3 of Perfectly Picked Still in the Works

I know what you're going to say.  It's been two weeks and you demand an update.  Well I am working on it.  It's been hard to get back in the mind of the character, but I think I have a better flow going with me this time.  Yup, I scrapped and restarted twice now.  SagaDevotee can tell you I am crazy for doing that.  I did take some of what's already been written, but not all.  Hopefully I can get this over to her sometime this weekend and I can update when she is done.  We got the holiday and I don't plan on doing anything to crazy.  Thanks for your support and patience.  Please hang in there and stay with me.  I will not make you wait longer than next week.

Much love, MWAH!

A Special Frisky Friday with Mortissues!

I have been reading quite a few fics while trying to sort my own stories out in my head.  One author has captured me every single time with her stories.  Mortissue's current fic, The Blue Hour's Chapter 30, is our Frisky Friday fic this week.

Summary: The blue hour is the period of twilight each morning and evening when indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue hue. That afternoon, in the forest, Bella sees through Edward's act and so he stays. He was never likely to get very far anyway, the shy human girl owned him body and soul. That was a few years ago now and that shy human girl has just graduated college . . . .

Before I get into the awesomeness that was chapter 30, I would love to introduce you to Mortissues.  She has been in fandom for a few years now, mostly a Twilight fic writer, but has dabbled in other fandoms.  Morty (as we affectionately call her) has written ten fics and I pray that she doesn't stop.  Her fics are amazingly well written with fantastic plots that twist and turn you.  Predictability does not exist with her stories. And what do I love the most about them? Non-canon! LOL!  However not all her stories are.  Edward does slip in now and then, but she has been majorly non-canon.  Don't hold it against her.  She just may make you rethink your USS Bellward.  Plus SagaDevotee loves her and that chick's word is golden.

My Interview w/Mortissues: Fanfic Author, Shock Value Enthusiast, & Awesomeness Supreme

TUS: From what corner of the world does Morty hail?

Morty: I’m a Celt.  I have freckles and everything. 

TUS: *giggles* How did you get into Fanfiction? Which fandom popped your fanfic cherry?

Morty: Twilight.  Its such a compelling story of first love.  I started with all the lovey dovey Cullen related stuff and then got siphoned off onto the alternatives that dug around under the smiley cover.  There’s some seriously good fanfiction out there . . . .

TUS: I totally agree.  There are so many authors I love to read what they've written.  Too many to name.  Speaking of names... Why Mortissues?  I have my guesses, but what’s the meaning behind the name?

Morty: “More tissues Nick.  More tissues . . .”

TUS: As usual Morty, that clears everything up. :) What was it that inspired you to start writing Twilight Fanfiction?

Morty: Unemployment and depression.  Not noble causes I know, lol

TUS: You'd be surprised, or maybe not, how many people in fandom would say the same.  Writing/reading sometimes gets those struggles.  Definitely makes it easy when you're reading about Emmett. However, it’s not just about Edward for you.  You started out with “Finished Product”, a Bella/Jasper story.  Is it the blonde curls that get ya?

Morty: I do have a weakness for blondes though I’m not so sure about the curls.  My first love was all body, blonde hair and blue eyes.  I may have been spoilt . . .

TUS: Niiiiiiceeeee. So, we know you love to write and the word brief is not in your vocabulary.  Most of your fics *cough* all *cough* are over 30 chapters.  Did you always think you would be so inspired over a story?

Morty: No, I just get carried away.  If you think the fics are long you should see the stuff I cut, thousands of words worth, some of it really funny too . . .

TUS: I bet! *searches for the leftovers on Morty's editing floor with SagaDevotee* Which has been your favorite fic to write so far?

Morty: Repudiation.  I loved tweaking some of the more obscure characters.

TUS: You owe me a Nahuel fic woman :).  Now, Twilight hasn't been the only fandom you've dipped in .  You wrote the True Blood fanfic “Wiles” which had me looking at Eric in a very different way.  Plan to take another trek back down the TB lane? Maybe another fandom?

Morty: I’d like to do a sequel to Wiles, Eric is awesome , but I’m struggling for a decent plot.  Wiles kind of covered everything for me.  Other fandoms?  Waiting to be gripped, maybe Falling Skies?

(About to give away some info on The Blue Hour)

TUS:  Wow "Falling Skies" would be kickass. I'd follow you all over the fandom universe doll.  “The Blue Hour” has turned into a Team Arthur fic.  Arthur is your original character who has taken us all for surprise, more than once in this story so for.  Who knew? Besides you that is.   Was he your leading man all along?

Morty: No he wasn’t, you should see the outtakes, lol.  I’m not always a very structured writer, sometimes, as with Troika, I like to develop the characters and then see what they do.  I still haven’t forgiven Bella for Troika, which is why I picked Rosalie for my next fic.

TUS: Hell, I haven't even forgiven Bella for Troika. *sigh* Back to TBH, Chapter was crazy hot (in more ways than one.)

• We have a burning building.
• Bella kicking but.
• Bella's life changing realization.
• And damn that lemon at the end.  SWEET BABY JEEBUS! Here's a snippet:

"I rock back against him with what I hope will be my last moment of clarity.

Am I taking advantage of him, using him?

Yes.

But right now I need something only he can give me, I need to feel and I need to not think . . . .

He works his way back up to kiss me again, harder, our teeth clashing. And then he picks me up and carries me back into the bedroom, ripping away the soiled bed clothes, laying me on the mattress and then following me down to press me into it, hard, and I moan and thrust myself up into him.

"Bella." He groans, rolling himself into me in a thrilling echo of what I actually want him to be doing. "Please, don't let me, stop me . . . ."

Fool please! You are done! Chapter 30 is the very reason why I rebirthed my “Frisky Friday” post.  *shakes head from the fever* Back to the questions! 

TUS: Are you weary of writing lemons? Or do they come to you naturally…and steamy?

Morty: I try not to put too many lemons into a story, or at least I have since The Whitlock Saga.  Boring and repetitive sex is what can happen in real life, no one needs to read a story that ends up delivering the same.  Stories should be an escape into another world.  But that won’t be the last ‘Frisky Friday’ moment in The Blue Hour . . .

TUS: Well thank God for that!  One last question... Any insight on what we can expect next in the TBH? 

Morty: Girl, you know I never give away my plots . . . .

Dammit! And I do.  SagaDevotee and I stalk her enough!  She's not gonna dish the deets. Well, I hope you all enjoyed this special edition of Frisky Friday.  Many thanks to my co-blogger, bestie, and fangirl extraordinaire, SagaDevotee.  Couldn't do it without ya BB.

Perfectly Picked: Swan Song Chapter 2 Has Posted

As a friend just said to me on twitter:

It has taken me forever to get this chapter updated, but here it is.  I am working hard between everything else RL (two kids, family, work, sanity) to get this story done.  Thanks for sticking with me.  If you chose not to, I understand.  Who waits almost two years for an update?  Your continued support has been awesome though.

So go read it: FANFICTION and FICTION PAD

Love to you all,

The Pledge Chapter 5 is about to post!

I know it has taken me forever to post anything! What can I say about RL except that it's real.  Between kids, full time working, and every other drama...I have to sleep lol.  However, I have just finished the edits done by the marvelous and fabulous SagaDevotee to being looking this over for me.  She's the only one who has patience for my whining.  

So without further ado, let me go post Chapter 5 of The Pledge called "Freestyle". Here are the two little tidbits you will like to see.

Carlisle's T-shirt: 

Edward's T-shirt:

Thank you again for your support! I love you all...all 5 of you. LMAO!

Frisky Friday

I totally blame SagaDevotee for an issues you may have after reading my recs for today. She emailed them to me and her recs are golden.  We have a term called BSW.  What's that you ask?  Well, it stands for Bus Stop Worthy.  There was time I was reading a fic while waiting on my bus.  It got really steamy and I was making some Meg Ryan a la When Harry Met Sally noises.  Well the Frisky Friday rec's today are certainly BSWs!

First read was a Paul/Bella one-shot called "Desecrate Me" by kerigocrazy.  

Summary: There's something about Bella Swan; she draws men to her like flies to honey. Paul's determined to find out where she's hiding her sugar, but when the bad boy of La Push finally gets her naked, it's in a place even he never expected. Entry for the Public Lovin' Contest.

Paul is absolutely determined to get virgin Bella and he will stop at nothing to get her.  Through the story Paul tells of his foiled efforts to get the timid & heartbroken Swan.  He is thwarted at each chance to get her alone by his fellow pack members.  No one knows what he is up to, but he patiently waits for a moment he can dig his claws into her.

He finally gets her alone once the pack is off getting their nom on Victoria.  Bella needs a ride to the precinct  to check on Charlie. The Chief isn't there, but they decide to wait in his office.

"The minute the door shuts and they have a modicum of privacy, he has her pinned to the wall."

Oh yeah. Chief Charlie Swan is about to get his office christened with the official popping of Bella's cherry.  It's so bad it's good! OMG!  Paul made me feel like a woman and I was just reading it.  This lemon definitely has a shamantie warning (The need of shamwow panties).  

Once Paul is done with Bella, she is a woman, Charlie is red faced, and I am quite sure I got pregnant off the hotness of this fic.  Oh...I just...it's too much...

The second one I am excited to rec is "The Birds and the Bees" by meliz875.

Summary: Quil is in need of a special kind of lesson and thinks Leah is just the right person to teach him. A fun-shot written specifically for the Fandom Choice Awards winner reveal.

Good lawd!  I cannot believe how much I was moaning one second with this fic and laughing my ass off in the next.  This one shot pairs of Leah/Quil in a lesson of seduction and need with layers of comedy. 

Poor Quil does not have the skills to pay the bills lol.  So before his big date, he goes to Leah to ask her make a man out of him.  Leah cannot believe what he is asking her, but hey, it's been a while.  And it has nothing to do with the fact that Sam will see it in his mind later.  Quil has to beg of course, as this is Leah we are talking about.

"He's whining now. Fuck, she hates it when he does this. It makes her want to smack that sloppy grin right off his face."

LOL! Oh Leah! But Quil is eager to please his willing teacher.  With a few tips, trips, licks, and kisses, Quil begins to show Leah just how much of a quick learner her can be.  It must be those wolf genes because the way meliz875 writes the sex has me wondering where Quil has been all my life.  Seriously meliz875, have you been keeping Quil from us?

Of course the one-shot ends on a funny note, coming back to Quil's date.  Will Leah need to give him another lesson? Well you are just going to have to read to find out.  Seriously...run...do not walk to this fic!

I hope you enjoyed my rec's this week for Frisky Friday!  Let me know what you thought and don't forget to review as well.  Tell them I sent ya!

MWAH

And I'm Back

Finally, I am back to posting and writing.  I cannot wait until tomorrow.  I am getting my Frisky Friday post together now.  Oh what a joy!  Now for some updates.

• The Pledge is back and raring to go.  I have just posted Chapter 4: Emerge - CPOV.  Carlisle still makes you want to kick his ass, but my sweetie pie is making the moves.  Go read and found out what happened!

I am in the process of writing Chapter 5 now and then the epi will be in Edward's POV.  I think he deserves after all the hard work that he put into Carlisle.  lol.  I hope to have this all wrapped up in a cute little bow by the end of this month.  YAY for progress.  Don't you worry because SagaDevotee is going break out her whip again to make sure it happens.

• After that I have about 4-5 chapters of the A Six Foot Request spin-off Perfectly Picked: The Swan Song.  

It's my mini-shot Marcus/Bella Team Changed Edition.  We last left off in the middle of her change.  I currently have about 1500 words of Chapter 2 written.  Once I shake Carlisle & Edward out my head, I will get on Marcus.  Rawr! I could just gobble Gerard Butler up.  Yum, yummy. Bella will be waking up soon and Marcus will have one angry newborn on his hands.  I will most likely be working on this until the end of June.

• A while ago, I was going to enter a Fandom 4.  However, Baby UnderStudy got a little nuts and my brain cells were done.  Yet, this kickass banner was made by IllicitWriter.  Girlfriend is talented!

Summary: An elusive, enigmatic, and efficacious food critic begins to annoy the most spectacular Chef of Seattle.  Chef Jasper Hale knows that his food is the best and could bring anyone to their knees, even the so called E-Cubed.

The story is outlined, so it shouldn't take me too much time to work it out.  It will be all in Esme POV and people, it will be a ONE SHOT! One chapter only.  Don't go getting any ideas lol.

• This will lead us into Fall and the start of my supernatural/drama/suspense story The Mistress In the Window that I wrote for Fandom Fights Cancer.  I just haven't gotten around to working on the rest of it. Christag Banners is cracking her whip for me to post this story and she did an awesome job with the banner.  It's been forever!

Summary: She is a mystery wrapped around enchantment.  She has lured him in to the death that surrounds this old home.  There is chance he can escape; a way he won’t be caught up in the madness.  But he’s enthralled by in the beauty behind the lens. 

This will be a multific and will cross over into the new year.  I have an idea for the first 6 chapters.  After that, I will see where Emmett & Bella take me.

So buckle up! Enjoy the ride! Let's have some fun.

"The Pledge" Chapter 4 Preview

I haven't posted on the blog in a while, but I could not stop laughing.  I had to post this.  For those of you that have been following The Pledge, you will so get a kick out of this:

Edward's new t-shirt.

Significance?  Let me remind you of EPOV chapter 1:

There, in the middle of the backyard, was the object of my obsession. Carlisle, in a relaxed stance that showed off his legs in a glorious pair of khaki shorts, wore a green t-shirt with a pig on it; the words, 'Bacon Anonymous' was written under it. I loved that shirt! I'd always wanted it, but all my usual online shops never had my size. I looked at Jake and he smirked at me. The knowing bastard – I should have guessed he knew Carlisle's attire. This persona was different from what I saw in Anatomy earlier. Here he seemed calm and mellow, more of what I hoped was his true self.

And yes, that is all you're getting.  LOL!  Will be posting this Friday.  I am so loving this chapter.  

MWAH!

I'm back......

Well the muses have returned and I am able to write again. It has been crazy with having a newborn and a toddler, but I have found my groove.  So what's been going on.

Recently, I have posted Chapter 1 of The Pledge.  It is my CarlWard story that I had written for a contest back in 2011, but has taken me this long to write the follow up chapters.  I have Chapter 2 done and is being looked over with a fine tooth comb.  It will post later tonight.  The last and final chapter is currently being worked on and will post next Friday.  I thank all of you for sticking with me for this story.

Next up after The Pledge finished is A Six Foot Request.  Team Changed story arc is ready to be picked back up.  So hang with me and there will be updates in October for that.

I will be going back to my two blog posts a week: "Tattling Tuesday", where I will rec what I have read, and "Frisky Fridays", where I will rec some lemony goodness and update you on what's going on my stories.

Enjoy my readers!

Update on my writings/stories

UPDATES

Well, I'd like to say thanks to all of those still out there.  I have always been diligent in my updates until Baby UnderStudy happened lol.  I love her dearly, but she has sucked the brain cells all out of mommy.  I am scheduled to have this little suggah momma on May 29th.  So, still there won't be any updates anytime soon.  I wish I could say the summer, but I don't know how things will go.  

A Six Foot Request is still being worked on as well as some other stories.  All I want to do is sleep right now. LOL!  If you can bare with me, I promise to have tons of surprises come fall.  It's just that working full time, a toddler, and a newborn will be keeping me very busy.

Thanks for all your support!

Frisky Friday

Hello my fabulous followers.  So I wasn't able to write a drizzle today, but I am almost done with one for next week.  So the Lemon Oasis will be alive once more.  Please check out the Lemon Drizzles tumblr to see this week's pic prompt.

****TEASER ALERT****

Perfectly Picked: The Swan Song 

Chapter 2: Changing

What if Isabella would want this Edward over me? I had already lost a mate to death, but to lose another from being rejected would kill me more.

I pondered this line of thought for a few more seconds until I burst out in laughter, startling the changing Isabella in the process. She would not deny me. I am Marcus, son of Antero DelVichhio. My human blood may have been dead inside me, but it still burned strong within my soul with truth.

That's all you are getting.  If I give you any other part it will let go too much! LOL!  It will post on Monday evening.  Stay tuned.

:) Love

TheUnderStudy

Tattling Tuesday

It's that time again to blab to you about the heck I am doing.  LOL! Like you really care.  Well guess what.  Hold on to your britches, because you just may care about this one.




Perfectly Picked: The Swan Song 

Chapter 1: Marcus’ Lament

That is the title of the next chapter to come to A Six Foot Request.  You are probably wondering why I said Chapter 1.  Well after 1200 words in, I knew this was going to be a long chapter.  Team Changed, as I have affectionately grown to call it, has turned out to be a bit of a multi-chapter.

Yes, yes you all can rejoice.  Right now I can only promise 5 more chapters.  Marcus got so chatty with this one that by the time I got to a good stopping point, I was well into 3700 words.  There is still so much more story to tell.  Well I am going to give it to ya TheUnderStudy style.  So who wants a sneak peek?  Oh you, in the back...sure.  Why the heck not. Now mind you, it is unbeta'ed, so sorry.

Demetri left my room and I head out the door in the opposite direction.  It was a wise decision to create my own entrance and exit to the castle.  That way I did not have to see Aro.  He never made his way to this side of the castle.  However he did send his lackies.  I smell one of his little rats now.

“Master Marcus, your presence is requested at feeding.  Master Aro grows tired of your absence,” Felix spoke.

Vampires are supposed to become smarter when changed.  His process seemed to have to have the adverse effect.  He thought his size was also intimidating.  I had been fighting a long time. 

“Tell Aro that I drink alone tonight.  Tell him that I require solitude for this day of remembrance,” I spoke and continued my walk to the exit.

“Your mate has been dead some time.  Do you still need to grieve?”  He chuckled darkly.

I was on him quicker than he could dodge me.  My hand wrapped around his neck and I heard it crack in my grasp.  I could hear his head begin to detach from his shoulders as I pulled.  He growled and dug his nails into my hand.  I did not care.  I felt no pain from this weakling.

“Just because Aro has your balls in his pocket, doesn’t mean you can speak me any kind of way.  I am still your Master as well,” I growled at him, spitting venom.

I tossed him to the ground and he slid away. 

“Master Aro will hear of this,” he gurgled.

“Tell him I will lay flowers on his sister’s grave since he tends to forget,” I yelled as I sauntered out of the castle.

*Swoon* Marcus, you are one hot vampire.  So the beta has it and the pre-readers.  I hope to post by Friday.  Then we will be on a two-week update schedule.  I wish I could do it sooner, but it's very busy at work and I gotta pay the bills.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I will be writing for this cause this year.  I cannot express to you the importance of this cause.  Many children are afflicted with this illness more than you think. Please donate or contribute to help bring awareness to this cause and to provide support for research.  You can find out more information on their blog:

http://fandomajuvdiabetes.blogspot.com/

I will be donating and contributing a new one shot to this cause.  I have my banner currently in the works by IllicitWriter.  Once she is done with her fabulousness, I will post it on over.  Here is a little bit of information on the story:

Title: The Critic

Pairing: Jasper/Esme (c'mon...you know I'm all about the non-canon)

Rating: T or M (smut has not been determined lol)

Summary: An elusive, enigmatic, and efficacious food critic begins to annoy the most spectacular Chef of Seattle. Chef Jasper Hale knows that his food is the best and could bring anyone to their knees, even the so called E-Cubed.

Intrigued?  Well I hope so.  It is due by February 27th and I will have my teaser posted on their blog by the end of this month.  I have written a little bit of it so far, so we shall see.

Well that is all my dears.  Until next time.

A Six Foot Request Follow Up - Team Changed

I know you all are just itching for the Team Changed alternative take to my Marcus/Bella one shot.  It is killing me.  LOL!  Marcus will not shut the hell up and he is pretty angry in this one.  Bella is not talking much because of the change, but oh boy when she wakes up... It seems like it is going to be as long as the original.  I feel sorry for abbymickey24 as she betas this chapter.  LOL!  So hopefully I can finish tonight and get it to her by tomorrow.  Then I can clean it up and post by late Tuesday or Wednesday.

I am not giving out any teasers at the moment, but I hope to once I clean it up a little bit.  Thanks for all your patient little hearts :)

Saying Goodbye to 2011

Well I have been awfully bad to my blog followers.  I have been so posting elsewhere I haven't updated here at all. As I say goodbye to 2011, I will give you an update on the little projects I hope to finish soon....

After many requests to have a least one more chapter to this to find out what happened with Bella after Marcus bit her.  It has taken almost two years to finish! I actually didn't start till this year.  Gotta go where inspiration strikes.  

Well I have two chapters, if he killed her and delivered her body and if he changed her.  Special Delivery: The Swan's Request is done.  I hope to post it tonight.  I hope to finish writing Perfectly Picked: The Swan Song by the end of January.  In the meantime, here is a preview of Special Delivery:

Marcus POV
“Ladies, please bathe my recently departed friend. I want only the finest oils used. Dress her in a gown befitting a lady. I have the feeling she would not have wanted something so extravagant. Adorn her hair with flowers, take your time, but do not delay,” I spoke to the maids.

They lifted Isabella’s small frame into my bathroom and followed out my orders. I went to my closet to search out something to wear. I was saddened to see that most of my clothes were dated and had collected dust. Had I been living in such a darkness that I lost my sense of style?

“If I could be honest, master,” Demetri appeared next to me. I nodded to him to continue. “Your sense of style is about as dead as you are. Explain to me your plight and I shall have you ready.”

I raised my eyebrow at Demetri and he rolled his eyes at me. He pulled me to the end of my closet and removed the coverings for several Armani suits, silk boxers, and the finest shoes.

“Someone has been very sneaky,” I chuckled at him and began to tell him of Isabella Swan.

Demetri was saddened by her tale and asked why I just didn’t change her. I explained to him that some people are already dead, they just hadn’t found death yet. I then told him of the Cullens and he growled at the outrage. It was known for a vampire to have a human pet from time to time. However, that pet was to be changed or killed before too much time passed. He knew of Carlisle’s reply to Aro to not visit us five years ago. We didn’t think anything of it, but add in Isabella and it is suspect.

That's all I got for you for now.  I will have a post in the New Year soon.  

Take care my dears...

Tatting Tuesday

I know it's been a while, but I have been a little busy. However, I have a teaser for you for my Fandom Against Famine one shot.  Please donate to this charity.  The girls running it are awesome.

Through Blood & Venom

Banner made by Christag Banners

Main character(s): Rosalie, Bella

Rating: M for violence and language

Summary: I never wanted her in my family, not because of jealousy, but because she could do so much better than death. Yet, I am no daughter of Fate, and know better than anyone you can’t stop death when it comes for you.  But maybe I could help her pick up the pieces.

Teaser:

My eyes snapped to his and he was gone in a flash.  I quickly followed him, catching up to him easily.  He was following a trail of Bella’s scent, her blood, Edward’s venom, and the scent I knew was so familiar. I realized it immediately and gasped.  Emmett looked back at me with his black eyes and nodded.   I feared for Bella’s life and for Edward’s since he was conveniently still alive.  Would Bella be alive by the time we found her?  I prayed and hoped to God she was.  Either way, I would be ripping apart a vampire tonight, maybe two. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

Alice

“It’s about time you called,” I hissed into the phone.

All I heard in reply were screams.  Alice was screaming like someone was trying to kill her.  I stopped running and Emmett’s eyes widened as he came to stand next to me.  There was only one word echoed from her voice, blood.  I heard shifting and Jasper was on the phone telling us to go left. He said that was the last thing Alice saw before she flipped out. We ended the call and veered left.  We picked up on the trail again and I couldn’t understand why there were two. 

A diversion.

WHAT i've READ recently!

The Red Eye by badjujube 

It's important for any private investigator to maintain a good relationship with local law enforcement and it's representatives. Therefore, I am always cooperative and polite with Chief Swan. Also, I try not to drink his daughter Bella's blood.

Twilight - Rated: M - English - Humor - Chapters: 36 - Words: 86,945 - Reviews: 3061 - Updated: 9-20-11 - Published: 11-22-10 - Edward & Bella - Complete

This was a great read and Edward was absolutely hilarious.  I could not stop laughing.  I love how she makes Edward so OOC, still just so right.  Read, review, and love!

Bitemarks & Bloodstains by forthelongestday

Two days in Phoenix is all it takes to make Jasper realize that mere curiosity cannot explain his obsession with the human who has so thoroughly caught Edward's attention. AU

Twilight - Rated: M - English - Drama/Romance - Chapters: 21 - Words: 116,694 - Reviews: 1290 - Updated: 9-15-11 - Published: 5-3-11 - Jasper & Bella - Complete

I was so captivated by this story.  The way she wrote Jasper was just amazing.  I was drawn in and couldn’t put it down.

Sparklingfae is a good friend of mine and she has some great one-shots and stories that are too good.  I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed.  Start with “Burn In Hell” as it is my favorite!

Tattling Tuesday

Some of you may know that I have been donating my fics to a few fandoms.  One of them is Fandom Against Famine.  One of the administrators, idealskeptic, posted this today on her blog and I would like repost it here.

Another appeal for Fandom Against Famine

I know I’ve talked about it a lot, but it’s important, so I’m talking about it again.

There’s a famine in Africa and it’s not getting any better. I know that there are a ridiculously frightening number of natural disasters (hurricanes, wildfires, flooding, etc.) that having fandom compilations cropping, but can we please not let get Africa get shoved to the side?

As one of the organizers of Fandom Against Famine, I can tell you that all donations are due by Sunday, October 9, 2011. We don’t have a set donation limit because we want as many people as possible to donate whatever they can to the famine relief charity that they feel most comfortable donating to. We haven’t set a monetary goal, because our goal is to help as many people as we can, whether that’s a single person or a hundred.

We’d rather help a hundred. Wouldn’t you?

So please, if you can spare even a few dollars, DONATE.

If you have any questions, leave a comment and I’ll answer them.

Thanks for listening.

TEASERS

Robbing Peter to Pay Paul - One Shot for Fandom for LLS. Please DONATE to read.

That night wasn’t so good either, so I took a break from the tables for the rest of the week. Alice came by place saying Paul was curious as to when I would be back with his money. I didn’t like him sending her to be his fucking messenger. I told her to quit, but she refused. I told her that I’d take care of her and she laughed and asked with what.

“I’m not with you for the money Edward. If Paul was smart, he would know that your daddy’s wife and you are not the best of friends. It was in the news that you had not been around the Cullen Estate since your dad died. They even knew it was because of the money he left her and not you. I know you went to see her. She never gave you money did she?” Alice was so damn intuitive.

I was caught and nervous, but I knew I could trust Alice. Maybe two devious fucking minds were better than one. So I spilled and told her everything, from Carlisle’s death, stepmommy and the replacements, Aro, and being fucking broke. When I was done, she was staring at me with her mouth opened wide. She finally closed it and sighed.

“You are so fucked,” she said and I snorted.

Through Blood and Venom - One Shot for Fandom Against Famine.  Here is the link again.

 

Emmett stomped on the brake and turned sharply. His jeep was on two wheels as he popped an almost perfect one-eighty. He smiled at me and pushed the jeep back down the highway. We were at least three hours away. Edward had already texted us that it was done and he was heading to Chicago for some alone time.

Douchebag.

Alice had texted me and asked where we were going. I told her we were going back for Bella. She was family and no matter how bad I wanted something more for her, that girl was meant to be a Cullen. This wasn’t about me anymore. This wasn’t about my empty womb, my un-aging face, or my dead heart. This was about what was good for Bella and we were it.

The Mistress in the Window - Multific - First two chapters for Fandom for Cancer

It didn’t take me long to find the Cullen Estate again. It was a large country home that was hard to miss once you found the drive. It was a blended design of Italianate and French Second Empire Style features. Most, if not all, of the stucco that covered the red brink underneath was exposed. The bricks were somewhat protruded from the edifice. Years of settlement showing its power of destruction. It must have been immaculate in its day and I imagined it in all its glory. The same buzzing I felt yesterday began to run all over my body. This place was my crack and I didn't know what I was going to do when I left.

I took out my camera and got some shots from a different angle, hoping to see if something new emerged. It looked ready to storm, so there was no sun. The clouds had loomed heavily over the house creating a very sinister shading. The house looked darker though the lens, but there seemed to be a light floating within it. It made me wonder even more about what secrets this house held. I could practically hear the history of this place calling out to me. I wanted to hear it all and I wanted to know how my favorite illusion became trapped here.

As if she had heard me, I looked up and saw she was there in her window. She smiled at me and was first to wave this time. I returned her smile and decide to salute her instead. An even wider smile broke across her face. This woman has to be real. I knew I had to find out for sure or it would….haunt me.

Okay so that's all I got for you today.  I am already plotting my post for Friday.  It's going to be good.  Lubs ya'll.
