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.

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!

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.

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.

Tattling Tuesday

Hello my darling followers.  When I started this post, it was still Tuesday lol.  But time slipped away from me and now it's after midnight. I don't have much to report since my post on Friday.  I did post my new one-shot "Wish You Were Here":

Banner made by vbfb19

Emmett/Edward, AH, slashy goodness.

Summary: When you have had the best in your life, it's hard for anything else to measure up.  It's hard to let go and forget what was and what could have been.  Sometimes all we need is a second chance for our wishes to come true.

**************

Right now I am working on my o/s for the Lemon Oasis (pic prompt SFW) called "Leather and Love".  I will give you a sneak peak at it.  The pairing, Sue/Felix, AH.  Don't be scared...lol...I haven't disappointed you yet.  Here's your teaser:

My Dearest Susan,

So long I have tried to understand how I got so lucky to have you in my life.  I am a man with a very dangerous past and to wrap you up in that would not be right.  I am not worthy of you.  I never was, but I thought if I kept hanging on I could be good enough.  A year later, and I am no more of man that is a thief, stole a man’s daughter, took her away from her family, and can’t even put a proper roof over her head.  You are better off without me.  I am ruining your life. If I can’t be the man you deserve, at least I can be the man you need right now.  That man is sending you back to La Push.  I bought you a bus ticket.  Use it.  Don’t look for me Suzy.  Go home and live.  There is no life with me.  All you get with me is death.  Just promise me to keep riding.  You love to ride and look damn hot doing it. 

I’ll love you till the day I die,

Big Flea

Like damn, right? Well, it will be up on Friday.

**************

Last but not least, I have a fic rec.  I felt as though I had been neglecting my Wolf Pack. So I went on a search of wolf stories that caught my eye.  I found "Alpha's Mate" by KaiaLuna

Sam imprints on an emotionally damnaged Bella when she moves to Forks to live with Charlie.  RATED M FOR A REASON! - Complete, 47 Chapters, 198,648 words, Sam & Bella

The first chapter takes a twilightish approach to the story, however there are certain obvious differences that make you wonder what's to come.  By the chapter 2, you are definitely aware that this ain't SM's story  lol.  The story begins to capture you completely with Bella's fear and pain.  How can this woman not want the hotness of Sam? From chapter 2 on, I was either laughing, crying, or screaming in either anger or glee.

KaialLuna also gives you more of the wolf girls.  So often they are forgotten, but not here.  You get more of Kim.  I loved how her character has been developed.  Also Emily is in the story, but I won't tell you who she's with. Of course with the imprints we get the other wolves.  I am all Team Jared right now.  She has made me fall in love with him.

This story may be wolfy, but the dynamic of the human to human romantic relationship is what appeals to me the most.  No matter the imprint, these two are trying to make a love work when one is beyond broken.  I am getting a little caught up just thinking about it  *grabs a tissue* and I am sure you will to.  This story will run the gamut of emotions.

I have not finished yet, but I won't stop until I get to the end. Please read this fic and review.  They are like crack to authors.

Love ya'll much!
