Teaser for week of 8-30-11

Well I waited for as long as I can and I am sad to say that I got one little bitty, teeny tiny teaser today!  Come on girls, what is going on with you all?  I was proud of my fellow writers that we had so many teasers for so many weeks in a row then...nothing!  Well a big fat thanks to prettykittyartist for submitting, she is the only one that will get any cookies today!  Here is her teaser:

Daddy's Little Angel:

“Okay, sweetie,” she said with a smile.  “I’m going to go ahead and get this set up for you.  It’s just a little pinch.”

 I knew damn well it was more than a little pinch.  I hated needles and just the thought of that tube thing stuck in my arm made me sick to my stomach.  The nurse obviously sensed my apprehension and patted my hand.  “It’ll be okay.  I do a million of these, it’s a snap.”

 She pulled a needle from the tray and went to work.  I had to look away and wished that Edward was on the other side of the bed so I could see him better.  “Edward, can you come over here?  I asked him.

 “Yeah, babe.”  He came over to the other side and stood in front of me.  “Just tell me when it’s done,” I said as I clenched my eyes tightly shut.

 I felt a prick of the needle and had to admit it wasn’t too bad until something caused the nurse to gasp, making her hand slip and the needle jab painfully into my arm.

 “What the…” I snapped when I looked at her.  The look on her face stopped me short before I heard a loud thud and the sound of something crashing to the floor.

Week of 8-28-11-bnjwl-Outbound by aftrnoondlight

I got an email pimping out this story and put it on the back burner because like most of you my TBR list is hella long.  Not to mention that I have way too many WIP's going, plus writing for myself, and add in real life.  Well it is just a shit storm around here most days to be honest with you all. 


Then I get an email from my good friend, my Peaches, Eternally Addicted, telling me that she is reading this and how good it is.  So I pick it up and read.  Gah, it is now my drop everything and read story.  They update every Monday so there is a nice little guilty pleasure that waits for me each Monday to make my day better.

Outbound by aftrnoondlight

Here is the offical summary in their words...Two beautiful souls humbly traveling life's lonely path, until fate suddenly shows her hand. Will Edward and Bella surrender willingly... A tender, romantic tale of love and life in the clouds.

Now here's my words...simply stunning, the love, tenderness and immediate connection you feel between Edward and Bella is unparalleled.  You see the real pull between them not just two horny people looking for a good romp.  The way he talks to her, touches her, it's almost an old Hollywood black and white movies type of an attraction between the two of them.  The wording and poetry of their phrases make you swoon and want to lay in the sun all afternoon with these two from aftrnoondlight.   The story is realistic and will tug at your heart string but yet leaving you feeling peaceful and satisfied all at the same time. 

Go and read it, give them some love (they respond back, which you all know I love it when they do that).  Make them feel welcome here at the TFA group!

Till next time...

Week of 8-17-11-OOEG-There is a Light-BellaDonnaCullen

My rec of the week for week is...

There is a Light

by

BellaDonnaCullen

Who are The Masen’s she asks... and that is how the story begins to unfold... Bella tells her daughter that we only know as Little One (LO) about who the Masen’s are and more importantly who Edward Cullen is and who he is in her life. The story starts off in the 80’s with Bella being 16, but jumps from past to present giving us little bits and pieces of information.

At the beginning of this story a certain set of theory's were thought up by members in BellaDonna’s Facebook group as time has gone on, the theories have changed, but the mystery and intrigue has not. The flow and ease in which the story is written is done so wonderfully that you can’t help to just be pulled into the story.

I can’t/ wont give more information on this story as to not ruin the mystery of it for someone who has not read it yet. So with that said I hope you come and get caught up in the past along with the rest of us.

Until next month... OOEG

August Author of the Month-CaraNo

Okay ladies and gents, our author of the month is none other than CaraNo.  If you aren't reading one of her fics you must be hiding under a rock, cause she has like a million and two of them going right now (and she updates on time too).  I sat and tried to decide which fic would be my favorite that she writes and yeah...I couldn't do it at all.  I love them all!  So please take a minute to get to know her then check out her links at the bottom of the page here and start a fic or two of hers.   

Without further ado, I give you CaraNo...

1. Tell us about yourself, what you’re willing to share of course.

Hmm, what to say, what to say… Well, I’m 25 years old, I’m from Sweden, and I live for writing. Haha, what else is there? I’m not really all that fun. 

2. How and when you where introduced to twilight & fan fiction.

I wrote a continuation on Breaking Dawn before I knew what Fanfiction was, and then through a friend, I found out about it. I was hooked ;)
 

3. When did your obsession begin?

After I had read Breaking Dawn. I felt that there was so much more to the story, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Then there was Robert Pattinson, of course. That sexy bastard refused to leave my mind!
 

4. Where do get your inspiration for your stories?

All over the place haha. Music, movies, books, commercials. Doesn’t matter. I can see it everywhere.
 

5. Did you write for other books, movies, or whatnot besides twilight?

Nope. But I’m a sucker for Supernatural, and I wouldn’t mind writing a crossover.
 

6. What are you favorite character to write?

Edward ;)
 

7. Who would you say is the easiest character to write for you?

Edward.
 

8. Who is your favorite twilight character?

Edward.
 

9. Which character would you identify with the most?

Hmm. That’s a tough one, but I think it would be… um… a mix between Alice and Emmett. I’m far from shy, and I’d like to say I’m easygoing, though not in a hyper way, but still. I’m blunt and crude, too.
 

10. How has your experience with the fandom been? (I.e. Fan fiction, TWCS, Twilighted)    

Amazing. I’ve ‘met’ some awesome people online. I love all aspects of this world :)
 

11. Are there any grievances?

No, not really. Not with others, anyway. But I’m struggling to get better. You know, grammar and shit like that ;)
 

12. What do you prefer writing - fluff, angst, smut

All of it? Nah, but seriously, I feel like I need all categories. Now, for instance, I have one Mafia-story running, one extremely smutty story, one crack-fic, and one angsty. It’s a good balance, and when I’m fed up with angst, I leave Our Yellow House and run on over to Isla de Cullen, haha. Granted, having six stories running is a bit much. But I will probably always have more than two.
 

13. Do you bring personal experiences into your stories?

Yes. There are a few experiences I’ve brought into OYH, Isla, and It’s a Sign.
 

14. What kind of research do you do for your stories if any?

Everything I need, pretty much. For OYH I’ve done extensive research on everything from car tires and weather conditions to injuries and emotional distress. I don’t always do extensive research, though. For stories such as Trash & Darlin’s and What’s up, doc? I’ve done the basics. Places, education, living conditions, etc.
 

15. Favorite part of book.

If it’s Romance, then I would say the stage where you’re waiting for the two to get together. Where you’re testing the waters. But in general I live for a happy ending.
 

16. Least favorite part of book.

A crappy ending.
 

17. First fan fiction story you read was:

Only remember the first M-rated and it was Bella?Marie? by Nyomixx
 

18. If you write multiple fics, which one has been the most enjoyable for you to write and why?

Impossible to say because each one gives me different types of satisfaction. But I love writing This Life and Our Yellow House because they are challenging stories demanding research and a creative mind.

Teasers for 8-10-11

Somewhere in Time by jdc0630

Finally under the covers, I feel myself falling off to sleep. Hours later something, someone is pulling me out of my sleep.

I hear someone screaming, "Wait, wait...I have to give it to you!" I sit up in my bed scared, sweating and come to realize it was me. I was screaming. I sit there with tears running down my face, trying to remember what it was I was dreaming about. I can remember a place ? The land looking very barren, almost like a desert.

Come on, relax. Lay back down, try to relax, just let it come to you. Don't try to make myself remember or it will just slip away like all the other times. Relax...wait, mountains in the distance and something that looks like a fort? A man standing in the distance. I can't see his face. He looks to be very tall, well built, wearing a cowboy hat ? What is that? It looks almost like a wagon. People running around with scared looks on their faces. He is calling me,"Hurry, come here. I'm over here."

Then a very sharp pain. It feels like my heart has exploded. I look down and I can see the tip of an arrow sticking out of my chest. I'm falling to the ground, and I look up to see the man running to my side. He reaches out for my hand, grasping it tightly. I only have time to say, "I love you," and I can see I'm giving him something. Then, there is nothing but blackness.

I immediately sit up, and grab my journal beside my bed. I've got to write down what I've remembered. I have tried to write things' down I have recalled from my other dreams.

Lost in the Shadows by lvtwilight09

If I had known that Jasper was going to show up when he did, I probably never would have made the cut. I spent over a week in the hospital behind that incident because the doctors needed to make sure that all the surgery went well and that there wouldn’t be any significant nerve damage. It turns out I couldn’t even kill myself right. There was a wrong way to cut your wrists…who knew…plus while I managed to make a deep cut, I didn’t manage to sever anything completely. All of that coupled with Jasper’s showing up at home at the right time, was just enough to keep me from finally finding my escape.

Jasper knew what I had done; at least I think he did, because all he said about the entire thing was that I was being dramatic and attention seeking. My parents on the other hand, once they spoke to Jasper, reamed me out for spitting in God’s face and causing a slew of problems for the family as far as the media were concerned. They started really shutting me out and distancing themselves after that. As far as the public was concerned, the entire thing was reported as a kitchen accident. The official press release stated that there was a leak in the kitchen and I slipped while carrying a few glasses, receiving some severe lacerations in the process.

Once I got home from the hospital, Jasper really went off. He complained about having to fix my mess once again, and how I potentially cost him millions of dollars from the meetings he had to miss, and jeopardized the jobs of at least 200 employees when he had to reschedule the budget restructuring meeting to later in the month. I already felt bad enough, but seeing how Jasper acted once I got home solidified everything for me. Not once did he ask if I was okay, if I wanted to try finding someone to help me, or if I even just wanted to talk to him. All I got out of him was two days after I got back home, was him telling me that I had to say goodbye to the kids tonight when we put them to bed because I’d be going away for a while in the morning so that I could, as he put it, get my act together and my head on straight.

Until I Saw You by Reyes139

chapter 8

My body knows what it wants and it wants him between my thighs, but my mind knows what my body doesn’t, and that’s that the chase is so worth the reward. Making him work for it will only make him want me more. I need him to crave me like a crack head needs and lusts after that next hit. This has to happen on my terms and conditions. I say when and where, he just shows up like a good little boy and performs, and maybe after he proves his worth we can talk about… more.

Taking my eyes off him I notice that we are nearing eight a.m., I really need to get home and change. My girls should be on their way to the office soon and we have a lot to go over before my next hit.

OOEG~ This is going to be for the Fandom4LLS... and will be posted only after they allow... but here is a teaser to Poison and Prohibition...

The headline in the paper read “Amendment 18 Ratified” marking the beginning of his career.

“Okay boys, we knew this day was coming, its official the beginning of the ban on alcohol.” Edward addressed the four men sitting in front of him. “There’s been talk of how we are going to get around this by the big boys, but if we want to make a name for ourselves we will really have to work hard at bringing the most whiskey from the Canadian boarder then we can. I’ve already set up clubs where all our product will be sold. Emmett, you’re in charge of security, we have to make sure no one else is trying to take our shit. Jasper, you’re on managing the clubs, I want the best, hottest and sexiest broads you can find in those clubs, singing, dancing, servicing our clients. Ben, you’re in charge of getting us enough bean-shotters to keep our operation going. And Carlisle, you’re in charge of working peace with the other Big Cheese’s in the area. I will be busy keeping track that our dough is growing steadily and keeping track of orders.”

All the men nodded their heads completely understanding the jobs that Edward laid out for them to take care of. They waited for further instruction, knowing Edward wasn’t done. Emmett, Jasper and Ben needed to know where they were to do next. Emmett needed to know who was going to be working with him, who his team was going to be, Jasper needed the locations for the clubs. Ben waited to see if Edward had a specific list of guns he wanted.  Carlisle just wanted to see if his nephew needed anything else from him, he knew exactly what needed to be done and who was the first he needed to speak to, the big man himself Capone.

Edward quickly rattled of the necessary information to Jasper so that he may begin finding suitable beauties for the drum’s, Edward also instructed Jasper to attain his cousin Alice’s help in making sure the girls were dressed as needed. With the needed information Jasper quickly left the office they’d taken up using.

Then Edward turned to Emmett, he explained that a few of the men already had guns and stuff on the ready and that once the first shipment had left the docks he would get one of the messengers to him with location information. Emmett left to get his team together and get a game plan going on who was going to cover what.

Edward then turned to Ben, “Okay Ben talked to me, what’s the newest and latest in bean-shooters you can get?”

“The Tommy’s the best out there boss, I haven’t gotten the info on anything new, but you know I will keep my ear out for anything,” Ben explained.

Hope that was enough of a tease for you, if not then make sure that your favorite is there next week.  Bug them till they send me a teaser!  

Till next time...

Teasers for week of 8-2-11

My Letter To You by Minnie Soleil

With that, I am gone. My thighs twitch and a burning heat spreads through my body like a wildfire. A low long moan erupts me, I shudder uncontrollably and barely manage to keep a scream at bay.

I float on air until I finally realize where I am and what I just did. I pull my hand out of my panties and get up on shaky legs. I am ashamed. The relief I just felt is short lived. I can only hope I didn't scream “Captain, oh Captain,” when I came.

Until I Saw You by reyes139

As I round the corner and look for the ten I stored in my pockets I’m brought to a total stop. If it wasn’t for the fact that sweat is dripping down my back and some old dude passing by called me a hot piece of ass in Spanish I would swear I was dreaming. Because my bad boy, the man I’ve been trying to make sense of, was standing in front of me holding what looked like a frozen frappe’ in one hand and some black coffee in the other.

He was smug about my shock and his smirk was on full display for all to see. I think I stood there gaping like a fish for ten minutes before I snapped out of it and glared at the fucker. How dare he show up here and buy me coffee, OH HELL NO! Please tell me this fool didn’t buy me one of those frozen shits. I’m going to kill him before I even have a chance to fuck him. My blood is now boiling and my body is hot and flustered.  If I don’t kill him, they’ll put me away in the Looney bin for sure with how hot and cold and horny I’m being.

It’s You by losttwisisters

"Oh yeah and just what were you dreaming about," I said laying down next to her.

"Just a dream of my sexy, McScruff boyfriend making love to me.  Mmm...I don't know who that could be?"

I let out a growl before I rolled her over and pinned her to the bed.

"You most definitely better be talking about me."

"Hmm...I'm not sure, this guy was a total hottie.  He had a little more scruff then you do, and he had the most beautiful green eyes and one other thing, he had the most amazing smile."

She looked under the covers and said, "by the way this guy in me dream had the most amazing cock, and it definitely not you."

Midnight Sun by losttwisisters

I punched him in his face.  I punched him so hard that I broke his nose. 

 "Hey man I think he's had enough.  I hear the police coming near.  Why don't you go ahead and go to the hospital and I will take care of things here."

 "Thanks man.  I guess you will come when you are done here?"

 "Yeah I will be there.  I need to make sure that she is ok."

Lost in The Shadows by lvtwilight09

Sitting on the couch, I look around the room, at all the pictures on the walls, shelves and tables. Memories of family vacations, birthdays, and holidays surround me, and yet, I can look at each of these pictures and even though there might be a smile on my face in all of them, there is just a handful where the smile is actually genuine. I feel the tears start to fall, and immediately get angry with myself for letting the emotions through. I’ve been so good with keeping them hidden and locked away. It’s been so much easier not feeling, that now when my emotions make their presence known, I feel like I’m being shredded to bits by how overwhelming the pain is.

Curling up into a little ball, I finally let all the walls come down as a gut wrenching sob escapes my throat. My body shakes as I cry. I feel like I’m mourning because I’m surrounded by the memories of everything I had, everything I’ve managed to lose. I don’t want to feel like this anymore. I can’t take it; I need to find a way to make it all stop. I want to be able to lash out and scream and break things, but I can’t, it isn’t an option. Samantha is here, and the boys will be home in a few hours. Plus, Jasper would notice I’m sure and then I’d have to listen as he complains about my leaving him another mess to clean up and how I need to just stop being dramatic and moping around about every little thing.

I can hear through the baby monitor that Sam’s show is almost over, and try to get myself back under control. I don’t need my child seeing me like this. My chest heaves rapidly as I take in gulps of air to try to calm myself and I use the sleeve of my shirt to wipe off my face. Clearing my throat, I head to the playroom and play with Samantha for a few minutes before bringing her to the kitchen so she can have lunch. I set her in her booster seat before preparing her meal. After she finishes eating, I read a story to her. Halfway through she falls asleep, so I carry her to her room and set her down so she can nap.

Once Sam is settled in, I head back to the kitchen to try to straighten everything up. As I go to put a few things away in the fridge, I notice the date on the calendar, and a fresh bout of tears emerge. It’s mine and Jasper’s anniversary. I didn’t even realize it was coming up, and I’m quite sure that Jasper didn’t realize either, seeing as he noted on the calendar that he had some sort of business dinner tonight. I just feel so lost, so willing to give anything to make all the pain go away. I wasn’t any happier not feeling anything, but this hurt is beyond torturous, especially when I know that there’s no one for me to turn to about it.
