Mrs. White gets some High Anxiety with Edwardsbloodtype


Sit back, close your eyes, (well, don’t really because then you won’t be able to read this and trust me, you do NOT want to miss out!) and imagine the perfect Edward. Do you see bronze hair glistening in the sun, a tattoo inked on a toned bicep, a piercing you wanna run your tongue over, hear curse words any sailor would be proud of, see a clean freak Alice from The Brady Bunch would adore, smell smoke any pot head would be envious of… Hmmmm, that’s my perfect Edward too. A man who can fight for me, sex me up, and then clean my house. Oh, and did I mention he’s only 16? No? Hmmm, well lucky for me this Edward likes his women slightly north of 18.

High Anxiety. You know you’ve heard about it. You know you have friends hanging on every chapter of it. You know you’ve wondered how so many people can be THAT interested in a story that doesn’t even have any smexin’ going on. Well, let me tell you, you’re missing out! Edwardsbloodtype has created a story so honest and truthful, so heartbreaking and angsty that you just want to grab her Edward and snuggle with him on a sofa. Or in a bed, as long as you’re horizontal.

High Anxiety is the story of Bella, a new girl back in her old school. Lucky for her, there have been some editions to the town of Forks, namely the Cullen boys. Every girl wants them, but there’s something different about Edward. He seems perfect, except for the brooding, the OCD behavior, the rebelliousness, and his complete lack of interest in girls. When Bella breaks through his walls, finally pulling him away from his past, will he be able to change, become the boy he once was? Will Bella be willing to spend the time it will take to win his heart? And seriously, what’s with all this no-touchy stuff?

I won’t lie, I squee every time I see a new chapter of High Anxiety. The writing is incredible. The chapters are long and intriguing. Certain scenes and chapters have twisted my stomach into knots, refusing to let go. The story is so smart and clever; I can’t get enough of it. Trust me when I say, you won’t be sorry for diving into this one head first.

Oh, and you might also learn a thing or two. Let’s say, just because they aren’t having sex doesn’t mean they aren’t doing ‘stuff.’ That reminds me, I think it’s time for my next trip to my favorite Ladies Boutique…

"What are you thinking about?" she asked softly.
 
"How unfair life is," I answered quietly, releasing my lower lip from my teeth. "How sometimes I used to think that I must have been a serial murderer or something awfully evil in another life to deserve the shitty deal I've been given in this one. And then you came along and I know for sure I must be in hell because what could I possibly have done that was so horrific that the devil would dangle you in front of my face and won't let me have you?" Overcome with emotion as the words left my mouth, my eyes pricked with tears for the second day in a row. I couldn't stop them from falling and it was futile to hide it from Bella.
 
Bella's eyes clouded over with sadness, tears brimming along the surface. "I'm so sorry," she whispered as little trails of tears slid down her cheeks onto the bedspread. She reached out and grazed her fingers along mine. Her hand was trembling.
 
I allowed a tear to fall down my temple before I wiped it with the back of my hand. My voice cracked as I looked down at our connected hands.
 
"But then I think that maybe…maybe you were sent to me because I am good and I do deserve a person like you in my life." I sniffed, coughing back a full blown sob. I could feel my bottom lip quivering like a baby's, but I didn't care, because Bella's silent tears were mirroring my own. I felt her pain, I felt her sadness…they were all mine.
 
"Do you think that's maybe the case, Bella? Do you think that I am good enough inside to deserve you? Do you think that you could possibly ever love me the way I love you?" I shut my eyes, gasping back the choked breaths that accompanied the quiet sobs. Bella's fingers laced through mine, tightening around my palm. She leaned over, placing a small kiss on my thumb. I could feel warm wetness where her tears splashed on my skin.
 
"Edward," she sniffed, inching her face closer to mine. "You are sweet and good and wonderful and I love you so much it hurts to breathe sometimes, so don't you ever…ever doubt who you are. This isn't your fault and I don't know why it happened, but it doesn't matter because I would still love you without question, no matter what. I'll love you forever and ever, E. I promise."
 
And before either of us knew it, our noses touched just the tiniest bit before Bella's lips brushed gently against mine. It was but a feather blowing in the wind…soft, almost non existent…but there, present and tenderly defined. And though the kiss didn't last more than a fraction of a second, it was real.

Bella, my sweet beautiful Bella, who was my angel and my reason to wake up in the morning, loved me. And a huge piece of the ginormous black hole that was gaping in my life closed up in that very moment. Because I knew no matter what ugliness had stained my past, my future was with Bella, bright and beautiful and full of hope just like her.
Because I was loved, whether I deserved it or not. 




Mrs. White: Hey edwardsbloodtype, thanks for coming over today to ogle the neighbor guy with me. I do love it when he trims those hedges. 
Edwardsbloodtype: *peers outside* He’s pretty hot. My neighbor is bald and fat and makes his wife mow the lawn. I’ve never been on the west coast except for a layover to Hawaii, so it’s nice to be here. Layover’s don’t count though.

MW: No, that doesn’t count. Hey, who were you on the phone with?
EBT:
Suzy, my beta.

MW: Hmmm, you two are so cozy together…it’s kinda hot. So, how did you get started in fan fic?
EBT:
Yeah, uh I don’t swing that way…well, unless there’s tequila involved. After the ultimate disappointment when BD ended, I went online, having heard there was more, (SM’s outtakes and whatnot). I had read a story that took up where Stephenie Meyer faded to black in the BD honeymoon scenes, in which I can’t recall the name. From there I found a couple of fics that were alternate universes but still vampire centric. And then I discovered All Human stories and it opened up a whole new world. At first I didn’t get it. I was like, “What’s the point…the key element is the vampires…” But then, I got it and I haven’t stopped. I think The Arrangement by manyafandom was the first AH and wow, is that a great place to start...talk about jumping right in!

As far as writing, I had this idea in my head for a simple reunion between Bella and Edward a few years after he leaves her, and I was scared to post. But it was a great experience, because not only did enough people read it to give me the confidence to be more courageous with my story ideas, but they were so supportive and encouraging AND I met my beta Suzy through that, which I honestly have to say, is the best thing I have gotten out of my whole Twilight obsession. She is my bestie and I love her and she makes my stories complete.

MW: *makes note to self to stock up on tequila* Oh, that’s kinda special. So, what are your favorite fic’s?
EBT:
I have many, for different reasons. Clipped Wings and Inked Armor is written in such a way that it feels effortless and genuine and her characters, though I don’t think any of us can truly relate to them, have a darkness and passion that we can empathize with. Tropic of Virgo by In A Blue Bathrobe, is sheer beauty to me, and I loved her characters ability to speak and connect through poetry. The Lost Boys by Hwimsey was the most original fic I have ever read. Her writing is almost old fashioned and lyrical. That story was so well done. Emancipation Proclamation is another that I feel is original, unpredictable and very well written. How To Save A Life by Unholy Obsession, is very real, and written in a way that is seamless and engaging. I could go on for days.

MW: Nice. Do you have anything pierced?
EBT:
Just my ears. If my boobs were still in the same place they were ten years ago I would get my nipples done. Now the rings would just weigh them down further and lord knows we don’t need that.

MW: I hear that, though I have some nice corsets that keep mine in place. When’s the last time you bought lingerie?
EBT:
*snorts*
2001.

MW: Okay, so we’re going shopping after this. I just got my alimony check for the month; we can give neighbor guy a little show when we get back. How did you come up with the ideas for you story?
EBT:
*looks out the window at said neighbor guy, hence becoming totally distracted*
Oh, um… what was the question? Right, so with High Anxiety, I had come across an article about a corrupt judge and then the idea of a restraining order kind of came into play then because I wanted to see if I could hold the audience’s attention without having any (or little) smut in the story. I must say I am thoroughly impressed at how long the readers have held out. It also makes for tremendous pressure to have B& E’s first time nothing other than stellar.

MW: If you could get it on with any character from one of your stories, who would it be and why?
EBT:
Oh definitely HA Edward, simply because even though he’s inexperienced, he’s craving the affection and with his OCD, you know he’s gonna want to do it repeatedly until he gets it perfect.

MW: Oh goodness, is it getting hot in here? *fans self* No? Okay, um how does it make you feel when people gush over you and your stories?
EBT:
Without sounding like a total jerk, I hate it and love it at the same item. It embarrasses me and I am uncomfortable being in the spotlight, but by the same token, it is thrilling and really kind of cool to have people waiting on my next word. I secretly enjoy the power. *rubs hands together and laughs maniacally*

MW: Hmmm, interesting. So do you listen to music while you write?
EBT:
I need quiet when I write. I am always in the car, so the music I listen to definitely inspires me. I keep a notebook in the car as well, to jot down ideas and songs that I hear.

MW: So, who is your favorite character to write?
EBT:
Oddly enough, Edward. I would think channeling a sixteen year old boy would be the farthest thing from my capabilities since I haven’t been that age for some time now, and I am definitely not a male, nor do I understand (or like at the moment) the species as a whole. But I think he flows better and more readily for me than Bella does. I guess because Edward is what I had wanted in a boy at that age? I like to curse, so maybe that’s why, I have no idea.

MW: I think it’s illegal to “channel” sixteen year old boys. Well, I know it is in this state. Don’t ask how I know. Hey, have you ever been to China?
EBT:
Um, no. That was random. And I’m in New York. There aren’t a lot of laws here regarding, uh…”channeling.”

MW: *winks* Yeah, I know. Which Twilight saga book is your favorite? And what’s your opinion on Breaking Dawn?
EBT:
I think Twilight has to be my fave. It’s where it all started. It’s where they fell in love and that to me is the best part, because I am a romantic. BD was disappointing. I feel as though because Bella got everything she wanted and then some, it ended too fairy tale like. No one was suffering. It frustrated me, because she didn’t have to make any sacrifices as everyone else did.

MW: Nice. If you could give one piece of advice to a new author, what would it be?
EBT:
One? Pssssh. Get a beta that is good at grammar and punctuation. You can have a great story, but if the mechanics of it are poor, no one is going to read it. Also…do your research. The internet is a wealth of information, and the story will be so much better if your facts are straight. Lastly, write what you want to write. Be brave, take chances, go out on a limb, and don’t be intimidated by threats to flounce.

MW: K, rapid fire time. Ready? Okay, if you could be on any reality TV show, what would it be?
EBT:
Jersey Shore. * snorts*

MW: How many purses do you have?
EBT:
Around 15 or so. The good ones I rotate seasonally or by occasion. But I am a shoe girl. I had close to 250 pairs of shoes before my house burned down. Now I have maybe 100.

MW: Do you ever wear headbands?
EBT:
LOL! I am not allowed. I have pictures of me in high school that I have a color coordinated one on in every single picture. I also have giant late eighties hair. In the pictures...not now. The perm should totally make a comeback.

MW: What’s the last magazine you read?
EBT:
Details.

MW: Which Disney Princess most closely resembles you and why?
EBT:
Oh God, probably Cinderella before she meets the fairy Godmother. I am all sweet and girly on the inside but feel like a dirty slave on the outside.

MW: Unggggg…Details photo spread and dirty slaves… Hmmm, okay, enough of that. Hey look, neighbor guy is trimming the hedges along my fence. I may need to find a way to repay him for that.
EBT:
Buttsecks?

MW: Maybe… I just wanna play with him for a while and then come home by myself.
EBT:
ME TOO. That’s how life should be - fuck me and leave me alone. And you can print that. Oh, and the guy should pay for stuff and take out the garbage.

MW: Do you buy trash bags with a draw string or with the tie flaps?
EBT:
Oh, draw string for sure.

MW: Right on Sista’ Couga’ Friend! What is your favorite ALMOST curse word?
EBT:
Peen. I would work it into every conversation if it weren’t so inappropriate.

MW: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
EBT:
“Wow, you are much thinner here in Heaven that you were on earth. You’ve been a good, kind person during your time there, so here’s the keys to your waterfront mansion and 24 hour access to Chocolate Twizzlers, and porn. Oh, and once Rob meets his demise, I’ll direct him straight to your playroom.”

MW: Ahhh, Rob in a playroom… That would be Heaven. So how about some reader questions?
EBT:
Yeah, get on that.

MW: Ohh, here’s a good one. AnotherJenny from Twilighted asked - Is Charlotte going to play a roll in this eff'ed up situation turning around, or is it going to come from some other angle?
EBT:
The answer to that will be revealed in chapter thir…wait is that your Robporn collection? It’s huge!

MW: Yes, well I like things… huge. So how about another one. Maplestyle from Twilighted wants to know - How hard was it for you to post your very first fanfic story? Did it make you really nervous or was it something that you were just able to do?
EBT:
I was scared shitless when I posted the first chapter of my first story, and shaking with fear and excitement when I read the first review. It is a really big thing to put your work out there, especially when there is so much outstanding writing in the fandom to compare it to. It’s hard not to feel inadequate, but if I look at my first story and what I have now, comparatively, the writing has improved substantially, so it’s very cool to see the progression. I still get nervous when I post a chapter. But now it’s because of all the angry PM’s I get. It’s okay, its still cool.

MW: Oh look, neighbor guy is right outside the window. I’m sure he knows we’re in here, wants to see what we’re wearing. We need to get over to that lingerie store so we can show him a few things.
EBT:
I can’t wait! I need some smut! Good things to come…

MW: Hey, speaking of things to come… *giggles* So you working on anything new?
EBT:
Yup, wanna know?

MW: Yes!!!
EBT:
Well, Edward and Rosalie are…

MW: *glances outside* What the…
EBT:
Don’t roll your eyes!

MW: No, look. Neighbor guy is holding something up in the window, I think it’s recording our conversation. He’s trying to sneak High Anxiety spoilers!
EBT:
WHAT??

MW: *Jumps up and runs to the window, reaching out and grabbing neighbor guy by the glorious, thick dark brown hair that’s poking up in all directions* What are you doing? 
NG: They made me do it! All those hotties over at Twilighted, they bribed me with scantily clad pictures of themselves and cupcakes if I’d get them some information on that story you’re talking about. I just really love cupcakes. And vanilla frosting…

MW: Oh really? Frosting huh?
EBT:
*Approaches window after adjusting her cleavage*
Hmmm, you and your vanilla need some hot sauce, my friend.

MW : *Exchanges looks with EBT* Oh, well I think we can handle that. Meet us in my hot tub, boy, ten minutes, and bring tequila. You got that?
NG:
*Looks back and forth between MW and EBT* Oh hell yeah!

MW: Yeah, I think it’s time to finish this interview. Things are about to get very M rated up in here.
EBT:
*watches as neighbor guy runs off toward his house*
I didn't bring my swimming suit.

MW: *quirks eyebrow* I wasn't planning on wearing one. 
EBT: Awesome…

Miss Scarlet is getting Arresting Developments



Ciao! It is I, Miss Scarlet again bringing you another hot and spicy rec.

Again I am gracing you with the works of In love with a Crooked Smile. This time she brings us...copward. Now if you liked Firemanward, you will love Copward AND Copella in her story Arresting Developments.

Summary: My take on one of my all-time fave shows, 'Law & Order SVU'. Basically, what would happen between Benson and Stabler if Det. Stabler were not already married? Exchange 'Stabler' and 'Benson' with the Fuckhot Edward Cullen and a confident, take no shit Bella Swan, throw in some major UST, drama and Edward's crazy ass parents and anything can happen.

Parere Miss Scarlet's (Miss Scarlet's Opinion)

This little gem is estremamente caldi! It starts you off with Bella making a transfer from Seattle to NYC. First, the fact that it is set in NYC is a bonus. What a lovely city. Second, Bella toting a gun? I don't know about you but that does not scream "bumbling damsel in distress" which after a while gets tiring.

Now everything in this is all roses. ILWCS gives you the cop aspect of it as well which makes it more believable or gives you the illusion that you are kinda reading a Law & Order episode which isn't bad. Now on to the real reason we all read these things. The MEN!

*fans self* Edward... Emmett... AND Jasper with guns? Breaking down doors and man handling suspects? Can I say collant di fusione? Not only is Edward hot as sin but he is also a bit damaged. Both him and Bella have pasts that haunt them but together they make things work and heal each other. Love at first sight or amore a prima vista.

Now as in her other story, ILWCS brings the Italiano in this. Unf... I'll just show you

Finally his grip loosened on my hips. He took one of my legs, placed it over his shoulder and kissed my foot, ankle and calf while running his fingers up and down my slit, lightly grazing my clit and my drenched lips.

"Ah," I breathed.

"La tua figa è così bagnata," he moaned. (You're pussy is so wet.)

"Tutti per voi," I panted. (All for you.) The sound in his throat was slow and primitive, causing me to drip even more. I damn near buried my head into my couch cushions and did a cry/sigh when he slowly slid a finger into me. Seeing me writhing, he added another while pressing his thumb against my throbbing clit, bursting his name from my lips. This caused him to pick up his pace and me to attempt and bite a pillow into non-existence.

"Oh fuck," I moaned. "Devo ora ritenerlo, Edward," I panted as my hips gyrated against his fingers. (I need to feel you now, Edward.)

"Buono, devo scoparlo ora," he moaned/groaned. (Good, because I need to fuck you right now.) I shivered at the sound of his voice, let alone his words, and raised my head off of the couch in time to see him grab his cock and slide the tip over my wet lips. I bucked my hips against him and after bringing his lips back down to mine and our lips fought for dominance, Edward filled me with one, deep, thrilling stroke, impaling me slowly and sending waves of pleasure crashing over us that wrung a raw throaty moan from him that vibrated against my lips and a gasping cry from me that left me gasping for air.

"Oh cazzo, Bella," he moaned (Oh fuck, Bella) "Cosi fortemente," he grunted. (So tight.)

"Fuck! La sentono cosi buona, Edward," I yelled. (You feel so good, Edward.) He was gentle, easing the full length of his cock all the way into me, completely filling me. Once he was completely sheathed and my easy ass was already close to cuming, he gripped onto my hips, threw both legs over his shoulders and began fucking me with unbridled abandon. My god! He was not only big, but skilled as all fuck and his body was scorching like a burning coal, drawing sweat from me wherever our skin touched. I gazed into his green eyes and let my body go with the sensations he was giving me as I bucked my hips and rode him. His unrelenting cock pounded into me only to be matched by my equally eager hips.

"Fuck Edward! Piu duro."(Harder)" I yelled. He lifted my hips off of the couch and rocked me, worked me and fucked my ass into the crevices of the couch. I screamed his name at the top of my lungs and felt him grow harder inside me. Suddenly, he slowed his thrusting and gave me one incredibly long stroke, sheathing himself in me to the hilt until our pelvises touched. This made him hit every inch inside of me and my eyes roll back. I released my grip on the now ruined sofa cushion and reached up and grabbed the hair behind his head and pulled his lips down to mine for another searing kiss.

"Oh god, Bella. You feel so fucking good, love," he groaned into my mouth. All I could do was moan into his mouth and rub my bare lips against the brown hairs at the base of his cock. The sensation tingled and sent a jolt to my clit causing me to squeeze Edward's dick. He kissed me hard before hammering hips and thrusting his erection hot and deep, sinking into my core over and over, causing me to writhe shamelessly on his cock

"OH FUCK!" I yelled. "Destra la, Edward."(Right there, Edward.) Chills and goose bumps ran over my body as I clenched my pussy around him and rode him with as much force I had in me.

Che era al di là caldo. Solo puro sesso

Enjoy the stylings of Lil Wayne because he got it right with this one!


Ciao, dolcezze

Mr Boody reviews The Tutor!




*Tippin' my hat*

This week, I bring you the amazing [and completed] fic; The Tutor by ItzMegan73.

I devoured this book in one evening, though, anyone with an ounce of sense would read it over a few days...it's a good ol' fashioned looooooonnng fic, so make sure you take time to enjoy the ride! I know I did *Smirks* So. Without further ado!
*Flouncing my cane, atta ways*

Join me on a journey with Edward and Bella from high school and beyond. They grow up, grow together and fall in love. *Sighs* Sweet, right? For those searching for a HEA, yah, you're gonna get one...but for those on Team Grinch like myself, you're gonna have to work for it; aferall, it's makes the journey that little bit more satisfying, don't you think? This fic however, isn't overly angsty, but the challenges they face are real, and very well written.

I thought the progression of their relationship was well paced, but the one thing I was really impressed with, was how Megan wrote the rest of the Cullen's, Charlie, and remaining characters, yayaya -- I thought the characters were compelling to read, paticularly Carlisle and his concerns [And I am never satisfyed with how people write Carlisle. Ever] Megan added depth and meaning to their interactions and steered away from a lot of the cliches that sometimes appear in fics. [Especialy when Carlisle and Esme are human, and parents...]

Also, I would like to point out a few things about The Tutor:

Edward is hot.

Edward's attitude problem is hot.

Edward locking the lips on Bella against the lockers is hot.

Edward's soft and sensative, and sometimes insecure side is hot.

Edward standing up to Carlisle for his thoughts and beliefs and earning Carlisle's respect is hot.

Edward in overals, working in a car garage is hot.

Edward banging...out dents in the bonnet is hot.

Edward in the back seat is hot.

Edward's persistant and determined attitude for self-improvment is hot.

See where I'm going with this?? Yeah, I thought so *Smirks*

Mean Mrs Mustard Unravaled the Knot with Twisted Coincidence



Unraveled Knot by Twisted Coincidence



Story Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4919822/1/Unraveled_Knot

Author Profile: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1723607/twistedcoincidence

So not that long ago, two of my fandom friends recommended this little story to me knowing I had a weakness for well written and underappreciated stories. Needless to say, I was excited to have a new story to read and immersed myself in Unraveled Knot. I was probably really fail and didn’t review every chapter, but I corrected myself eventually, because I had to gush in each chapter how well her story was written.

I have one complaint about this story and that is that the summary does nothing to lure readers in: “A round peg in a square hole. It’s not always the easiest fit that works the best. Maybe if it’s not hard it’s just not worth it.” Summary aside, this completed story is well worth the ride, because of its unexpected twists.

Edward is an accountant, the most boring career known to man, and is suffering through a loveless relationship with a girl named Hannah. He’s basically running on empty and making it through the days unhappily until he meets Izzy. Izzy (aka Bella) runs a charity which helps raise money to bring music back to schools, but she is severely behind in their finances… enter Edward. He’s immediately enraptured by her and spends more time than necessary going through the company’s books just so he can spend time with her. However, she’s harboring her own issues regarding relationships and doesn’t want to let Edward in.

Passion. The passion pours out of her and lights up her eyes as she all but begs for me to understand. And who am I to deny passion? I think maybe I, better than anyone else, understand how important it is to be passionate about something. That without it, without that deep burning in your gut to just do something, you're nothing.

Maybe that's why I find myself wanting to say yes despite the cluster fuck I'm facing. Maybe it'll be nice for a few days to just work with someone who feels something that I haven't felt in years. Maybe the kindness and honesty in her brown eyes is something that I just need to see in another human being.

I look down at the guitar case and then back up at her face and its hopeful, her eyes all but pleading with me.

"Alright, Isabella," I say with a small nod and stretch my arm across the table. She clasps my hand in both of hers and that smile slowly begins to form on her lips again. "Let's get started."

The smile spreads quickly, lighting up her entire face, and she mouths a silent "thanks." And I can't help the smile that spreads across my face in return

That being said, Edward and Bella share such a connection that undeniable even though he is facing his own demons, including Hannah, and Bella is fraught with self doubt. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this story is, and the progress of the writing is evident as each chapter. This was the first fan fiction for twisted coincidence and it was a rather clever and compelling take on our favorite characters.

"They are the past. And if you can let them stay there then you can be my now," I say slowly. I watch as his Adams's apple bobs slowly. I follow the motion and place my lips there next, tugging and biting on the tight skin there. I can feel his breath as he tries to keep it even. I reach around him and drag my nails down his back this time, loving the feel of my groan under my lips.

I pull away and survey my work. There are several purple spots on his neck and the angry red lines my fingers drew are screaming out from his chest. I reach behind me slowly and pull the zipper of my dress half way down. I slip my arms out of the dress and let it fall to my waist.

I meet his eyes and feel my heart rate race. With just a look, the power this man has over me; and he's fucking worried about two losers I went out with a few times. The cool air hits my bare chest and I shiver a little. And then I wait. Wait for him to return the favor, to take a hint, but he just stares.

I reach out and take his hands and place them over my breasts. His breath hitches and I smirk. Men and breasts, works every time.

"You want me to be only yours? Show me then," I tell him.

Now go read the interview and then go run to read it. You can thank me later.

MMM: First of all, congrats on your Indie Nom. Were you shocked? I would have peed my pants in excitement!
TC:
Thanks so much! I was shocked. In a way I am shocked/amazed that any one read the story to begin with. Definitely beyond excited. I don’t even need an award!

MMM: How did you get started with FF?
TC:
Now comes the shame. I actually started writing NSYNC fic when I was a teenager. Eventually my taste became more refined and here I am. LOL

MMM: What inspired you to write Unraveled Knot?
TC:
I liked the idea of two people who were so wrapped up in themselves they thought they couldn’t have each other. That’s where the idea started. Getting in your own way, in a sense.

MMM: Where did you get the name Hannah from? I'm curious because it's not standard in fics to have such an important supporting character not be canon. I'm not bitching, just curious. Plus my daughter is named Hannah :) I'm kinda partial to it :)
TC:
I LOVE original characters. They give you a freedom that the canons don’t. And Hannah, well, she was inspired by some I knew. Actually her character is based off that same person. Before I knew her, I wouldn’t have believed someone like that existed.

MM: What the hell were you thinking making Edward an Accountant? I don't think I had ever read him having a more mundane job in fic.
TC:
That seriously made me laugh. I wanted Edward to have a job that couldn’t be more of an opposite from what he really wanted to do, which was music. So when I sat down and thought about it, accountant just made sense. In his own way he was paying a penance for what happened with Jasper.

MMM: What are your top 5 favorite FF’s you’ve read? And do you have any rec’s for our readers?
TC:
WOW. That’s such a hard question. As soon as I make this list I am going to want to add more, so we’ll call this my top five in this moment (not including the fantastic works of coldplaywhore which you all should read) Sleepers, Awake: Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme by Feisty Y. Beden. This story blew me away, but you HAVE to read the outtakes. Trust me. Volition by Rochelle Allison. I am such a sucker for fics set in other time periods and this is by far my favorite of what I’ve read. The Tutor by ItzMegan. anything by ItzMegan really. Elemental by Tallulah Belle, another fic that just doesn’t have a match. Such an original idea, so addicting. Ashen Skies, A Tainted Genocide by QuestionXisitng. This one is a little darker, deals with a sad plot line, but again the originality is beyond compare. It’s only a few chapters in, but I’m already captivated.

I’m rec’ing Gun Shot Songs by astilbe13. It’s new, just starting out, but you can just feel that it’s going to be one hell of a ride. Oh and add Daniel Gale: Cumming to America by danielgaleh00rs. It’s a fantastic little spin off combining two of Robert Pattinson's films. It’s funny and a little crude and absolutely addicting.

MMM: If you had to mismatch the canon pairings who would you put with who and why?
TC:
I love the idea of Alice and Emmett. They make sense to me. Plus the so big and so small pairing is appealing. Also Jasper/Bella fits. They seem to work in a quiet, unforced way.

MMM: And which pairings drive you crazy and why?
TC:
I cannot read Edward/Rosalie. I just can’t. I honestly believe they would be like oil and water. If the relationship was destructive it could be doable.

MMM: Is there something you don't feel comfortable reading or writing? Femslash? Slash? Anything involving Jessica Stanley? If so, why?
TC:
I love that ‘anything involving Jessica Stanley’ bit. I actually used Jessica in my newest fic. I don’t really gravitate towards femslash, mostly because I Don’t feel like the canon characters lend themselves to that sort of fic. Maybe if an original character was involved… And I shy away from anything TOO extreme. Like a very older Edward and an underaged Bella, that sort of thing.

MMM: What is your craziest fan encounter or review?
TC:
I got a review from someone who basically told me that my characters were stunted and didn’t deserve happiness. That was pretty crazy in itself. Honestly, most people are beyond sweet and I love hearing their opinions. Bring on the crazy!

MMM: What are some things you tend to steer away from when writing a story?
TC:
I try as much as I can to not borrow too heavily from the Twilight series themselves. Even thought I am using S. Meyers’s fabulous characters I don’t really want to use her plot line as well. I also don’t like to write about things I don’t know.

MMM: Did you ever have an OMG moment in FF? Like someone reviewed you or rec’d you and you literally squeed?
TC:
Is that a rhetorical question? You! The first review you sent me I read three times and then clicked on your profile to be sure. That was my first big OMG moment for sure.

MMM: If you could beat the shit out of one Twilight character, from the book or movie, who would it be? How would you do it and why?
TC:
Please no one bring out the pitch forks after this….Alice. Hands down, no doubt, Alice. If someone in my life was that pushy, that bossy, that meddlesome, I would push THEM off a cliff, or at least in front of a bus ala Mean Girls.

MMM: What is your favorite curse word?
TC:
Shit. I don’t know why. But when I stub my toe or really want to express myself, it’s the first one that comes to mind. My pet curse if you will.

MMM: What do you HAVE to read the moment you see an update?
TC:
The Cannabean Betrothal by ItzMegan73. It’s an involuntary reaction really, she updates and I read as soon as possible.

MMM: What is/was your favorite smutty story?
TC:
Just for the smut? For smuts sake? (couldn’t resist) Right now it’s The Misapprehension of Bella Swan Regarding the Inferior Intellect of Hockey Whores by Hunter Hunting. I can’t help it. I am a glutton for all things hockeyward.

MMM: In 20 words, tell me about your new story cause I haven't read it yet but it's a must read for me:
TC:
Choosing between the love of a sister and the possibility of a love of a lifetime.- in 16 words.

MMM: Emma in Thicker Than Water, is another original character that you have worked into your story. Where did you get the inspiration for her from?
TC:
My relationship with my sister. She is very loosely based on her. Embellishments for drama were needed

MMM: Music plays a major role in Thicker Than Water, how much does it influence how you write, and what do you prefer to listen to when writing, if anything?
TC:
Music is a HUGE part of my writing process. There are times I'll hear a song and an entire scene will form in my head, sometimes an entire story line. I listen to a wide variety when writing. Sometimes it’s a song that has inspired the scene, sometimes I let the shuffle choose and sometimes I make playlists just for that story. Major musical inspirations: Brandi Carlisle, Damien Rice, Iron & Wine, Rachel Yamagata, I could go on and on.

MMM: The relationship you have built between Emma and Bella is a realistic one, where the older sister tends to be protective and dutiful. Where did you get the idea for Thicker than Water from? Do you have any older / younger sister and is your relationship similar?
TC:
The idea for Thicker than Water came about from a conversation I had with my younger sister. It's loosely based on the thought 'what wouldn't I do for my sister?' I drew from our relationship in a big way for this story. The idea that sometimes beyond being a sister you can be a friend. And the differences between those relationships and the complications that can come up because of that.

MMM: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
TC:
First off must say that that question made me instantly listen to Trapeze Swinger by Iron and Wine, moving on. Something along the lines of ‘welcome home’ would work pretty well for me.

Mrs Peacock gets lost in Rhapsody in B




Rhapsody In B http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5427856/1/
Lillybellis: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1809968/

Summary: When a rising musician falls in love with his small-town childhood friend, can their yearly New Year's Eve tradition bring them together once he rockets to stardom and leaves her behind?

Young love. Ah to be young, carefree and have the whole world sprawled at your feet, ready for you to decide where to go, what to do and who to be. It’s all about the now. You don’t really think about how your decisions and choices will impact your life down the road. Hell, most fifteen year olds don’t think about what will happen next week, much less ten years later. However, that’s exactly what ‘Rhapsody in B’ by Lillybellis does as it follows the paths of Bella and Edward through ten years of self discovery and awareness. As the years pass, their lives take dramatically different directions through difficult choices and sacrifices, but they always reconnect and recharge on New Year’s Eve when their paths intersect, if only for one night.

I am fascinated by the structure of this story because while the prologue is in Charlie’s POV, the remainder of the story is told from Bella’s perspective. We watch as she struggles to cope with the aftermath of a tragic event that was beyond her control and how Edward subtly, and at times unknowingly, helps her through it as he has to make his own life changing decision.

While it is ultimately based on the love between two people, it is not the simple or overdone 'love at first sight' kind of story that is so prevalent in fan fiction these days. There is no 'spark' or one true relationship defining moment. The foundation is slow, it is true and it is at times maddening. There have been quite a few passages where I just wanted to pull Bella and/or Edward aside and say "See. See what just happened there? Work with it,” or to ask them just what the hell they were thinking. Lillybellis combines the perfect amount of romance, angst and nostalgia to tell their story and even manages to throw in a Saved by the Bell reference. Which is just full of WIN.
"What's that?" Dad asked as I let go of him. "Do you hear it?"

The noise outside was loud, but there was definitely something happening out there. I went to the door to see what was going on, and when I got out into the dining room and past all of the people who were crowding around, I saw it. Edward was up on the stage in the lounge, tinkering on the piano. Not all of the notes were right, but enough of them were. I knew what he was playing. It was her song. Our song.

I had never heard Edward sing before, but he was a lot better than I thought he'd be. I leaned back into my dad as Edward sang, just a little bit off key at first, because I could tell he was nervous.

"Isn't she lovely. Isn't she wonderful. Isn't she precious. Less than one minute old..."

One by one my mom's friends started in, and before long, everyone was singing along with the cute boy on the stage. I cried then, but they were happy tears, because for the first time in a really long time, I felt like maybe my mom really was with me again.

When the song was over and everyone was clapping, I turned around to look at my dad, but he was gone. I ran back into the kitchen and I saw him there, his arms spread out wide above the countertop, his hands holding him up.

"Dad?" I reached out to touch his shoulder, and from the way he was breathing, I could tell he was crying. His head drooped down so I couldn't see it, because he never did that when I was around. He reached over with his left hand and touched mine, but he didn't look at me.

"Chief." Edward stood in the doorway, his hands twisting around each other. He looked really scared. "I'm sorry, I didn't think...I meant for it to be a nice thing for Bella, and..."

Dad walked over to him, and for a second I thought Edward was going to run away. Instead, he stayed put, and my dad put his hand on that spot where Edward's shoulder curved up into his neck. Dad didn't say anything; he just looked at Edward for a minute, and then patted him there a few times before he walked away.

When it was just the two of us, Edward looked so sad. His hand shook as he reached over and wiped away one of my tears with his thumb.

"I'm sorry, Bella," he said, and then turned around and walked out into the restaurant.

I ran out front to catch him, as everyone around us started the countdown to the New Year.

"Edward!" He was almost to the front door, and I didn't want him to leave here thinking he'd hurt my feelings; not when he'd made me happier than I had been in a really long time.

"Oof," he said as I ran into him full-speed and wrapped my arms around his neck without even thinking. I held onto him really tight, even though he didn't hug me back.

"Thank you." I went to kiss his cheek, but he turned his head towards me. Half of my lips touched half of his lips, and I froze with my eyes open, looking at the side of his nose. I didn't want to stop, because I was kissing a boy for the first time ever, but it was Edward, and I knew that I should.

"Bella," he said quietly as he pushed me away, stumbling backward and knocking over the coat rack. "I..."

"Happy New Year!" Everyone that had gathered around the TV in the other room cheered as Edward stood in front of me, not saying anything.

I bent over to pick up the coat rack and give myself time to think about what I'd just done. It was an accident, and I didn't want Edward thinking that I thought we were something we weren't. Just like that day in the meadow, it would probably be best if we pretended like it never happened.

I turned around to smile at him, to let him know we were okay, Alice's friend and her older brother and nothing more than that. But when I looked in his direction all I felt was the cold air against my face as the door slammed shut, the bell clanging loudly against it.

He was gone.

"Happy New Year, Edward," I said, but I was the only one who heard it.

When Rhapsody in B updates, I squee. No lie. So many little things appeal to me about Lillybellis’ story that it’s hard to narrow it down and say THIS is why I love it so much, and I do love it. Maybe it’s the fact that Bella and I were the same age in the 90s (please don’t do the math) so all the pop culture references trigger my own memories and emotions. Maybe it’s the way she includes James in the story in a way that I did not expect…see how I’m trying to intrigue you there? Not to mention that I’m always a sucker for Edward as a musician. I do know that part of it’s appeal stems from the fact that the writing and dialogue and overall tone of the story is very fluid and her style just works. Simply put, Rhapsody in B is an enjoyable read and an excellent story. If it’s not on your alert list or your to-read list, it absolutely should be. This story will be told in 12 chapters and Chapter 9 was just recently posted. Read it. Love it. Remember how fabulous the 90s were. I promise you won’t regret it.

Lillybellis Interview


Mrs Peacock: How did you get started with Fan Fiction?
Lillybellis:
When I finished reading the Twilight series, like many people, I found I was dissatisfied with the ending. I went in search of fanfic, and was truly surprised at how much of it I found. At first I would only read canon vamp stories, but there were so few of those that I eventually had to branch out.

I found all human to be such an interesting genre, because I can’t recall ever seeing a Harry Potter fanfic where there were no wizards. I gave one story a try, and then another, and another. I’d always wanted to write, but I’d had trouble rounding out a plot. I could start a story, but about one or two chapters in I’d get stuck and lose interest. I came up with an outline for my first story, and wrote a few chapters. I wasn’t sure if what I had was any good or not (or if people would even be interested in reading it). I showed my chapters to some people that I trusted, who in turn eventually convinced me that I should post it. I started out writing just to see if I could finish a story, and I was really pleased when I did.

That’s the rather uninteresting story of my beginning in the fandom!

Mrs Peacock: What are your top 5 favorite fan fiction stories you’ve read?
Lillybellis:
I’ll qualify this answer by saying that I’ve read a lot of stories that I adore - many different pairings/styles/genres. But what really pulls me in as a reader is a story that has a very strong sense of place; stories that are easy for me to visualize as I’m reading them. Those are the stories that wind up being my favorites.

These are in no particular order:

1. River Dam by Jennyfly and Jandco http://www.adifferentforest.com/Fiction/default.aspx

2. Strange Days by Jandco http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5339014/1/Strange_Days

3. Sanctuary by Jennyfly http://www.adifferentforest.com/Fiction/default.aspx

4. Hydraulic Level 5 by Gondolier http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4931075/1/Hydraulic_Level_5

Can I list a few one-shots in lieu of a fifth favorite? I’m going to break the rules and do that, okay? I feel rebellious:

5. Glaciers by HMonster4 http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5559838/1/Glaciers

6. We Were Nomads Bathed in Concrete by Oxymoronic8 http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5409181/1/We_Were_Nomads_Bathed_in_Concrete

7. The Crimson by Majesta Moniet (this is honest to God one of the prettiest one shots I’ve ever read) http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5247235/1/The_Crimson

Mrs Peacock: Do you have any recommendations for our readers?
Lillybellis:
All of the above and a couple of additions:

Purgatory: A Love Story by americnxidiot http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5648371/1/Purgatory_A_Love_Story
and
Collide by Legna989 http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5692082/1/The_Twilight_TwentyFive_OneShots

Mrs Peacock: If you had to mismatch the canon pairings who would you put with whom?
Lillybellis:
Let’s see... I’d like to see more Emmett and Bella fics (this pairing makes much more sense to me than Jasper and Bella). And I like the idea of both Edward and Rosalie and Jake and Leah. Other than that I can’t say I’ve ever given it too much thought.

Mrs Peacock: Are there any pairings drive you crazy?
Lillybellis:
No, not really. If the writing is good, I’ll read pretty much anything, regardless of pairing. I do have a bit of a hard time with Jasper and Bella, but I wouldn’t say it drives me crazy. I don’t like Carlisle and Esme being paired with anyone besides each other, either. So there’s that.

Mrs Peacock: You mention a love of boy bands on your profile. Think fast, which do you prefer?

BSB or N’Sync? BSB

NKOTB or Menudo? WTF KIND OF QUESTION IS THIS?! EASY WIN FOR NKOTB

Hanson or O Town? O Town, just for the LOL factor

Justin Bieber or no music at all?
Justin Bieber, I guess. Although I’m disappointed you didn’t put the Jonas Brothers in here. My love for Nick Jonas is legendary.

Mrs Peacock: What is your craziest fan encounter or review?
Lillybellis:
You know, I honestly haven’t gotten any crazy reviews. I’ve gotten some mean ones, but never any that were crazy. My favorite though has to be the person who PMed me while I was writing my first story, Intersection. The PM said:

‘You should change the name of your story from Intersection to Intersucktion. Because it sucks.’

I think that is so clever - it made me laugh when I got it, and it still makes me laugh to this day. Kudos to you, PM sender!

Mrs Peacock: Do any of your real life friends know you write fanfiction? If yes, what is the typical reaction? If no, what do you think would happen if your two worlds collided?
Lillybellis:
Well, I have fanfiction friends that I’ve met in real life, so I guess I can say yes in a really odd kind of stretch. I have no friends outside of the fanfiction community that know I write fanfic. I would be kind of embarrassed if any of them found out; not because I’m embarrassed of what I’ve written or because I’m ashamed of doing it, but because it would be hard for me knowing that they’re reading something that I wrote. It would amplify the pressure, because I’d have to look them in the eye having them know the words that I’ve written. I like sharing those bits of myself with people I don’t know, for some strange reason.

Mrs Peacock: What are some things you tend to steer away from when writing a story?
Lillybellis:
Smut. I haven’t written it, and I will never write it. I don’t pass judgment on those who do, and I certainly enjoy some smutty stories. But I know my limits, and I know that’s not something that I’m good at writing, so I just don’t do it. I’m also scared to write fluff. Really scared to write fluff.

Mrs Peacock: If you could beat the shit out of one Twilight character, from the book or movie, who would it be? How would you do it and why?
Lillybellis:
I would probably wind up punching Alice in the throat - know-it-alls are annoying, aren’t they? Especially when they’re right. But then again, she could predict stock market trends, so...

Mrs Peacock: What is your favorite curse word?
Lillybellis:
Fuck. Absolutely no fucking question on that one, although I try not to use it as much as I fucking used to.

Mrs Peacock: What was your inspiration for Rhapsody in B? Why did you choose to have each chapter take place on New Years Eve?
Lillybellis:
People who read Rhapsody in B really seem to like the once yearly New Year’s Eve format, but it was not my idea. RiB is the plot bunny of a friend of mine named Tor. She gave me the idea and a small outline, and trusted me enough to let me write it. There have been some bumps - RiB was initially supposed to be fluff (which I completely failed at), and I sort of tailored the story to make it something I was comfortable writing. I’m happy with the final product, and so is she, so that’s all that matters. It’s a bonus that so many others seem to be enjoying it, too!

Mrs Peacock: Did you ever have an OMG moment in the fandom? Like someone reviewed you or recommended you and you literally squeed?
Lillybellis:
Yes - this happened only once, when Gondolier reviewed and favorited Intersection. I enjoy her writing so much, and I think she is so talented - I was so flattered when she told me that she enjoyed mine, too.

I appreciate everyone who reviews and recommends my stories, honestly. I smile every time I see a new alert in my inbox. When I find out that an author I like is reading a story I’m writing or that they rec it, I won’t lie, I feel some pressure! But it’s the best kind of pressure, when someone likes what you’re doing enough to tell other people that they need to read it.

Mrs Peacock: If there was one fan fiction author you could switch places with for a day, who would it be and why?
Lillybellis:
I would have to say...HMonster4. I just love her - I think she’s one of the sweetest people in this fandom. She jokes that if the two of us were men we’d be having a bromance. We share a love of sports and Emmett, and she does such wonderful things for this fandom, from starting the Indies (along with Gustariana) to just being such a positive person in a group that tends to be a bunch of drama llamas from time to time.

I adore her, and I think she’s great. Everyone else should, too!

Mrs Peacock: What story do you HAVE to read the moment you see an update?
Lillybellis:
Right now there are three stories: River Dam, Hydraulic Level 5, and Purgatory: A Love Story.

Mrs Peacock: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Lillybellis:
Anything, really, just as long as I get there.

Mrs Peacock: One last question…Snuggie or Slanket?
Lillybellis:
I’m going to have to go with the Snuggie here, because they have animal prints.

Mr. Green gushes over It Was Only His Baby


Ohaiyou-gosaimasu ladies. *bow* Today, I’m going to tell you about the fic, It Was Only His Baby by Juliamine. This story does start with a femmeslash, mind you, I don’t normally read this genre of fan fiction, but this story definitely captivated me since the prologue.

I found this FF when the author, Becky, added me on Twitter. We became fast friends and I realized that, “Jolly God, I have never checked out her FF profile,” so off I went looking at her page. After five minutes or so, I became so enthralled by her story. The summary was, well, unusual for me as I’ve never tried to read a femmeslash before, but after the encouragement I’ve received from various people about this FF, I decide to give it a go.

Here’s the summary:

Alice and Bella want what any couple wants, a baby. Bella asks her best friend Edward to contribute to the cause. He agrees but on one condition. B/A and B/E pairing. Lemons!

Hell yeah! Love triangle right? Never once in my life B.FF or A.FF, (FYI: B.FF is Before FF and A.FF is After FF *wink*) have I ever want to break a relationship up. Ok, I might be exaggerating a bit here, of course, I love seeing Edward and Tanya or Bella and Mike breaking up, but never once was I that determined. I review all the chapters with, “I really hope Alice cheats on Bella,” I kid you not!

Not only that, the lemons are ummm yum yum yum! Especially as Bella and Edward are fu- *cough* fooling, I mean, behind Alice. 


Juliamine’s Twitter: http://twitter.com/juliamine 
Well onward with the interview!
Juliamine’s Interview

Mr.G: How did you found out about FFn?

Juliamine: Honestly? I was obsessed with twilight and surfing through a fansite. Somehow I found a posting about a breaking dawn extended scenes. Me, being a perv, was all about filling in the gap that SM left. I read it... and got HOOKED. I then surfed fanfiction.net for twilight M rated and the rest is history.  


Mr.G: What’s your top 5 favorite FF that you would rec out the readers?
Juliamine: First and foremost, I LOVE anything written by unholyobsession. She is beyond brilliant. I wish she was single so I could marry her and make her my own personal smut slave. Shit… did I just write that?? Don’t let her see that, kthx.

Bella C'ella Luna. Her story If You Could Read My Mind OWNS me. I wait with baited breath for updates from her. And her lemons? They are drool worthy.

Eight Days A Week. A fairly new fic which has Nannyward and a hot as hell Bella. Yes please! Love it!

University of Edward Masen. This Edward is brooding and mean as hell but oh so sweet to Bella... eventually. The authors writing is poetic and eye candy. Brilliant.

Last but NOT EVER least ...Becomes the Swan. Brokella and Chubward? A perfect match. And I have a feeling once the lemons start, they are going to be HOT!


Mr.G: How did you get started with ‘It’s Only His Baby’? 
Juliamine: I was reading stories, and got mad one day at where the author took the story. I was like "I want to choose what happens. I'm going to write one!" I started out going for fluff, but somehow it didn’t turn out that way. And a plus? I love preggo Bella fics!
 

Mr.G: How do you find the time to read and write FF? You are in college for nursing and you are a mother!
Juliamine: You know how there's always room for jello? Yeah, well I make time for fic! Twific... is like my crack.
 

Mr.G: Which character in Twilight do you detest?
Juliamine: I HATE Rosalie. Bitch would go down if she was my sister.

Mr.G: If you had to do a mismatch pairing, who would you pair up together? 

Juliamine: Esme/Edward cougar fic. mhmmm
 

Mr.G: Got any ‘crazy’ review so far?
Juliamine: My fave? :) " Really original.” I cracked up hard when I read this.
 

Mr.G: What do you think about this fandom?
Juliamine: I love all the women. I love that there are people out there just as passionate as I am about reading fanfic. I think all the fundraisers we have been a part of tell a story of how compassionate we are.

Mr.G: What FF would you drop everything that you’re doing for, when it updates?

Juliamine: If You Could Read My Mind.
 

Mr.G: Big fan of angst or fluff? Why?
Juliamine: Fluff! I love reading stories that make me feel good. Angst just makes me sad. I still read it, but have to have a chaser of fluff for afterwards.
 

Mr.G: Do you listen to music when you’re writing?
Juliamine: I don’t, actually. Let me tell you why. I need silence or my mind won’t stay on track!
 

Mr.G: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Juliamine: GAH! PEARLY GATES! I'm sorry, how can you ask me about god and then mention pearly gates? Because all I can think about is that sexual position when you ask me that.
 

Mr.G: What is your favorite curse word?
Juliamine: FUCK. It stands for so many things. From sex, to just plain fuck. Fuck it, fuck that, fuck me. Just plain fuck.
 

Mr.G: Is it hard writing chapters that are especially emotional? (1twifan4evr)
Juliamine: I want to say it's not hard, but it is emotionally draining. I honestly started writing this fic hoping to write something happy and uplifting. But cheating, as we all know, is not a happy thing. And though during Bella's time with Edward, she is happy and in love, Alice is there waiting in the background. The lover left behind, and in general people feel sorry for her. The past 3 chapters have been incredibly hard to write. The scene where Alice catches Bella post blow job was the start of the major drama. The next two chapters I would sit in front of the computer and just stare at it. My heart was breaking for all of them.
 

Mr.G: Was it hard to bring these characters to life and develop in the story? (1twifan4evr)
Juliamine: Honestly? Yes. This is my first crack at writing any type of fiction, and lean heavily on my beta's to give me support and let me know if I am heading in the right direction and if my chapters make sense. Bringing the characters to life, well, with fan fiction the job is basically done for me. My job is to transform their relationship and take them in a different direction. Throw some serious adult issues at them and see where the writing takes them.
 

Mr.G: Last question, do you like pop-tart? If so, what flavor?
Juliamine: Blueberry, with frosting on the top. Toasted are the best! 


The Edward interview

Mr.G: Hello there! Please sit!
Edward: So, let’s let on with the questions shall we? I’m not really in the mood for interview *sigh*

Mr.G: Worried about Bella aren’t we?
Edward: *evil glare*

Mr.G: Ok, I guess he didn’t think that was funny. Let’s start! What's the very first thing that went through your head when Bella asked you to be the baby daddy? (sparagus)
Edward: First thing? Hell... honestly? I thought to myself "are they really that serious about each other?" Because, well having a baby with someone is a huge decision and Bella, knowing her, would never take that decision lightly. I felt myself react in a way I can't, thinking back, believe I did. I had known for some time my feelings for her. And when she said they wanted a child together, I over reacted I guess. I threw out my condition, and she went for it. To be honest... I would have done it for her without her accepting my little condition. But don't tell her.

Mr.G: My lips are sealed dear, but I need something in return. *smiles*
Edward: Which is?

Mr.G: A kiss, on the cheek?
Edward: Really? Do you want to do this interview or not. I’m not in THE MOOD!

Mr.G: Jesus. I’m just playing with ya! Gosh, someone is PMS’ing or something. *rolls eyes* Fine, next! Would you have felt any different being the other person if Bella had been with a guy? (sparagus)
Edward: *Running his hand through his tousled hair and shifts in his seat* I don’t think so. I knew she was cheating, and I was just as much of a player in it. What we did to Alice may have been wrong, yes. But what I know now is that she has felt the same way about me as I her for a long time. My hope is that she can forgive herself enough to come back to me. To keep loving me, and let me love her. For as long as she lets me.

Mr.G: *looking down at the question paper* Let’s open some old wound shall we? How did you feel when you came back from your romantic weekend with Bella only to find Alice standing in your driveway catching you receiving oral sex from her girlfriend? (1twifan4evr)
Edward: I barely had time to come down from my climax before I realized what was happening. At first I was shocked to find Alice staring through the window. But then I knew what Bella was going to go through. And my thought at the time was to be there with her. She didn't cheat alone, why take the consequences alone?

Mr.G: Alright, why did you wait until now to tell Bella about your feelings for her? Why didn’t you try to do so in college? (kcullenk)
Edward: Well, the situation changed. I was getting there, I felt like we were slowly still getting to the point where I could tell her my feelings. I had this entire day planned for her, in fact. I was going to meet her at her dad's place in Forks, I had already spoken with her dad to make sure she was going to be there that weekend. The picnic was packed, the bread was sliced, and the wine was chilled. That was the day she called to tell me she was dating Alice. Her voice was ecstatic, she was happy. And me? I had missed my chance.

Mr.G: You poor baby. *reached out to comfort Edward, but Edward jerks away* Ok, are you scared of me or something? Let’s just finish this. You’re not even playing along! If you had the whole situation to handle over again from the moment Bella asked you to donate your spermage, what would you have done differently? Why? (sparagus)
Edward: If I were to regret anything I did, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. If I were to say I wish I had never requested the ‘condition’ from Bella, i would be lying. Because that condition, no matter how immoral it may be, is what brought Bella to realize her love for me. And for that I am grateful.

Mr.G: Thank you for coming today, Edward. I know it must hurt to answer these questions.
Edward: Yeah, sorry about me not being in the right mood. All this crap are getting to me you know. *grab his bags* I have to go find Bella.

Mr.G: No problem dear. What can you say? Men in love are irrational. JS. Nice Armani jeans you have on by the way. *wink* Makes your butt looks cute.
Edward: *Glances to his ass, and smirks* Bella likes me in these *frowns*, thanks man. I’ve got to run.


Isn’t Edward yummy? *lick my lips* Well, ladies that’s it for the week. Now, go read the FF!

*note: thanks to Mel, (mcc101180) for tweaking this ugly duckling into a beautiful masterpiece*

Mr Boody Wants Clipped Wings and Inked Armor


Summary
: Haunted by her past Bella is broken and alone. Starting over, can she let go of the guilt that consumes her when she meets a beautiful tattoo artist or will his own personal demons destroy them first? Rated M for langage and lemons. AH/OOC [Complete]

*Tipping my hat*

Good day, for it is a good day ladies. Today I bring you a firm FFn favourite of mine for your plasure, and reccomendation.

For those of you who have had the distinct pleasure of reading Clipped Wings and Inked Armour, you will understand nothing I can write here will accuractly describe how stupendous this story is and I welcome you to come and share your enthusiasm for this fic with myself and the other partners!


For those who have not read CW&IA, I ask of you this; Please read this story, if it is the last thing you do. You will be hard pushed to find another fiction which will captivate and thrill you in the all the unique and awe inspring ways this will do for you!

CW&IA is the personification of Tattward, so straight of the ol' bat, you getting an authentic and fucking delicious Tattooed Edward, and quiet frankly who wouldn't want that? Add in a few...okay, a fuckton of piercings and I am done for, dead. 


*Adjusting myself discreetly*

Bella doesn't drive me nutts, which is a feat in and of itself and when you put these two together, it's just electric! For those of you perched on the edge of your seat in anticipation, yes, I can confirm, this story is more than smutt-filled. It's an X-Rated, pornographic, orgasmextravagana that will leave you somehow, panting for more!

((And more is delivered indeed. If these pics don't make you hot, then perhaps the outtakes on FFn will. If that wasn't enough, HH also has a great collection of interviews with Bella and Edward availible on her blog which I urge you to go read. You can find them here.))

But...and an important but at that, the incredible sex is simply the cherry on top of an otherwise incredible story. Two torn, tragic lovers overcome every darkest fear in their past. And it is dark --  so much so, it makes black look white. So make sure you have a [sex]therapist on hand or a cold shower ready for when you finish this fic ~ You will need it *smirks*

CW&IA a learning curve, it's hot as hell, it's desperate, it's needy, it's angst personifyed and it's bloody marvellous! I won't be teasing you this week, as quiet frankly, I couldn't begin to pin point excactly where made me fall for this fic, or what part was hotter than the last, and well...I don't do anything by half. So neither will you.

Go, read, revel and come back and tell me how I was right *smirks*
