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:

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.
