The Fandom Gives Back

 The Authors Auction just ended about a half-hour ago for The Fandom Gives Back on behalf of Alex's Lemonade Stand. I offered a one-shot, now five scenes from Edward's POV for Elemental. The final bid (or donation) was $1716 made by a group of wonderful women who call themselves Team EPOV.

 As well as my Posse of Meadow C, Ciaobella27, Spanglemaker9, ScarlettLetters and WriteOnTime123 who donated $100 in the name of Elemental.

 For all the negative things that are going around, it's nice to see this level of heart come out to give to a great cause.

I thank all of you who put your time and donations to this venture. It was proof that love is stronger than anything in this universe.

Fan Video for Elemental

 When I started writing Elemental, it was with the hope that I would finally be able to learn how to write a story. I never expected anything beyond that when I posted my first chapter.

 About a month ago, I was sent a PM from a reader who was inspired by the story to make a video. It was something that humbled me (in a very good way). So, I wanted to make sure people were able to watch it, and send her the love for the time she put into it.

Another Banner?

Yessirrebob!!

 I made one for Leave. It just came to me, so I thought I should make it. The painting is called "The Bolt" by Jean Honore Fragonard. The rest? Well that's just me messing around.

The Twific Awards

 I hate to say this, but I can't keep up with all the the sites in this fandom. I am ashamed to say that I didn't know about these awards until I saw a post on Twitter.

 What am I talking about? The Twific Awards.

 Why? Because some awesome writers that I adore, who have put in the time and energy to bring you a great story, have been nominated.

 Who am I talking about?

 Faking It by Spanglemaker9
 The Next Door Neighbors by edwardandbellabelong2gether
 The Port Angeles Players by WriteOnTime

 I'm pimping them because I believe in their work. They represent some of the best of this hobby that we all love to dabble in, whether we are writers or readers, we all start as fans. I happen to be one of their biggest.

 I wish them luck and plan to vote for their stories.

Look Ma!! I'm Famous!!! Well...

 I received a review today from a reader that said they had mentioned Elemental in their article.

 In that review, Hoosier Mama apologized for not reviewing more often for my story. She told me that she had mentioned me in an article she wrote for TLYDF.  I was just flattered that she took the time to stop and give me one review, but was floored when I found that she apologized in her article. Thank you for thinking of my story!

 I never expect a review for every chapter, I really am happy just to see the words: "I'm enjoying your story."

 It tells me that I was able to give you a moment of fun and hopefully a moment of zen.

Excuses, Excuses

It's Only Rock and Roll...

 Outside of my main story, Elemental, I have written two one-shots.

 One of them was a B&E story called "Leave"- I try not to think too much about that story as I was first learning to write. It's choppy and it needs a little help.

 The second was a one-shot written for my friend and fellow author, Jajo for her birthday/ get well soon, called "It's Only Rock and Roll..." featuring Jasper and Alice.

 I know a lot of people aren't into Twilight stories unless they feature Bella & Edward. Well...I'm usually the same way, but the moment Jasper's voice got into my head, I had to write it...and I'm very glad that I did.

 Where is this leading? I was playing with banners again. I made a new one last night for this story since I was never happy with the first one I made.

So, here it is:

A New Journal....another one??

 Why, you ask, since TallulahBelle seems to be running rampant all over the Twilight Fan Fiction pages, does she need ANOTHER journal of some sort?

It's just all part of the plan to take over the world. One page at a time.

What will go here? Most likely something to do with my stories or even other people's stories within the fan fiction world...probably Twilight related. Yeah, most definately.

 Maybe I'll give you my playlists, teasers, pictures that I have used for inspiration, avatars, banners, snippets of stories that I am working on, and maybe I'll fangirl over another author's stories.

I don't know exactly, but the possibilities are endless.

So....do you have your cocktail or flask handy? Great!

Now just sit back and relax...
