Second Time Around



This story is one of my favorites because it gave me hope. After battling about a year of writer's block, this story proved that I could fight back and complete something that wasn't half bad. One of my favorite authors, Shadowbox N. Paperchase has a story that I love called "Broke" and I requested her to write about Emmett and James for a chapter and she did it. She apologized for taking so long to fulfil the request and I knew exactly where she was coming from, so I thank her for writing the chapter because not only was it deliciously hot, she helped inspire me to write again.

I said the last chapter of this was inspired by Colbie Caillat's "Realize" video and it really was. It's one of my favorite videos so here it is:

Lastly, I'm not sure when I'll get around to it, but I'm thiking of adding another chapter since I'm a drama whore. The second chapter and the last one weren't what I had originally planned and I'm fine with that, I think they turned out ok. However, I think what I had originally planned would still be a nice addition to the story. So I'll either write it in a future or as an alternate chapter. It may be a while, but look out for another chapter!

Gray Area

I find it very ironic that this story was uploaded as a replacement story because I was having trouble with another story that I dedicated to someone. This story definitely gave me some trouble. It was one of my favorites because it had so much potential. So I had a poll and the people have spoken. 49 people (46% of the vote wanted a new story) and 41 people (39% of the vote wanted me to write an epilogue.) So it was a very very close vote.

The second chapter was based on a song of the same title by Rissi Palmer. Here's the chorus that I think was pretty fitting.

Hold onto me
And let go of what makes you lonely
Hold onto me
And give up the heartache
The nights you lie awake
It’s easy to set it free
And hold onto me

 So there's some good news and bad news about writing the new story. The good news is that I already have a story in mind and I'm still planning it out, the bad news though is I have no idea when I'll post it because I have so many stories that needed to have their loose ends tied. But I haven't forgotten about this story, so just stay tuned!

Not Ready To Make Nice

As I've already explained, this story was written for a friend of mine, robpat who I absolutely adore. I'm not a big fan of writing Edward at all, but I decided to try for her. I got the title from one of my favorite Dixie Chicks song, I thought it was an amazing title for a story. I picture different people as Jasper sometimes, but for this story, here's how I pictured him:

Chapter 3 was inspired by Carrie Underwood's song "What Can I Say?" The parts of the song that were the biggest inspiration are:

And you should know, please believe me
I've picked up the phone a thousand times
And tried to dial your number
But it's been so long, it's never easy
It's like trying to spin the world the other way
What can I say?

How did it come to this?
I think about you all the time
It's no excuse
But I wish that I never made you cry

 So this is the story where I hit a huge, huge brick wall.I really just don't know how to continue with this story. I think my best bet is to write an epilogue or a chapter with some kind of satisfying ending. I'm just not sure which one I'm going to do yet or when. However, I will definitely write another EdwardxJasper story since this one pretty much went to hell. It may only be a oneshot, but there will be a replacement story since it's completely my fault that this story was such a disaster. I'll definitely let everyone know when I post the new story.

Best Thing

One of the major songs that inspired this story is "Stay" by Sugarland. It's one of my favorite songs, Jennifer's voice and the lyrics make it so special. Jennifer wrote it all by herself and I find that fascinating. The thing that I find the most amazing about the song is that it's written from the prospective of a mistress and Jennifer's vulnerability makes you feel sorry for her. I told myself that I wanted to write a story similar to that. The other song that was the inspiration, "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles really helped explain Jasper and how he feels. Here is the video for "Stay", Jennifer's tears cut right through me and a video with lyrics for "Gravity".

Chapter 3 was also inspired by music a lot. Kellie Pickler's song "One Last Time"  really explained what James was going through, he's saying goodbye to someone that he still loves. "Somebody When I Stop Loving You" by Carrie Underwood perfectly explains Jasper, he's in a lot of pain because he has to watch the man that he loves walk away.

So I encountered a brick wall called writer's block and it was difficult for me to write anything at one point. I'm trying to get back and finish some of my incomplete stories and this is one of them. I'm not sure when I'll get to it, but I have started the epilogue, so hopefully it won't be another year until I write it. Thanks for all of the support though that everyone has been showing.

Realize

This story means so much to me. It was my first AH story and my first slash story, this story made me fall in love with writing fan fiction. As everyone knows already, I'm a huge, huge Cam Gigandet fan and a huge Kellan fan as well. I was sitting around one day picturing them together and I was wondering why no one had written a JamesxEmmett story before. Instead of waiting around for someone to write one, I decided that I'd take a chance and do it myself. This story started my obsession and love of the pairing.


I got the title from the song by Colbie Caillat, but other than that, the song itself didn't really inspire the story. In chapter 2, James plays "To Know Love" by Little Big Town for Emmett and it's such a beautiful song. Here's a video of it:


As much as I love this story, I just really want to rewrite it sometimes. I'm not going to rewrite it, but trying to write a sequel has been difficult. I have an epilogue started and I think that's the way to go with this story. I think I can work on a sequel after I've written the epilogue. It will probably be a while though because I'm so backed up with stories and just have so many to write. I definitely have not forgotten about this story though and I will continue it. My other option would be to write the epilogue and instead of writing a full story sequel (multiple chapters), maybe just a few scenes for the sequel. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I would love to get everyone's input. I will put up a poll on my profile, so you can vote for your choice. I'm having a little trouble getting the poll to show up, so it may take a little while before it's there, so just check back often.

Blondes Have More Fun On The Bottom

I posted a picture of how I imagined Peter, but here it is again.
                           

I'm much more into brunettes than I am blondes, but I found a really hot picture of a blonde that I think fits how I pictured Jasper.

 I already talked about the background for this story. I was talking to Maj one day and she mentioned her birthday, so I told her that I wanted to write her a story as a gift. My specialty is JamesxEmmett stories, but she doesn't really like Emmett slash, so I decided to write JasperxPeter since I loved her JasperxPeter story.

 "Cowboy Casanova" by Carrie Underwood was stuck in my head and helped inspire the way I wrote Jasper's character. I'm not sure why I picked "Raining on Sunday" as the song that Jasper sang to relax himself, but the song and video are just so sexy. So here are both videos:

 So I've finally decided that I'm going to write a sequel for the story. I've started it, but I'm not very far into it yet. I will eventually post it, I'm just not sure when. 

Resentment

There would have been no story without the amazing song by Beyoncé. Originally, I had an original story that was based on the song, but I never finished it. I'd planned to write Realize and another story at the same time, it was supposed to be a JasperxVictoria story called "Nameless Angel" but it just didn't work out. I needed to come up with something quick and that's when I found the original story of mine titled "Resentment" and decided that I would re-write it with Twilight characters. When I was developing the characters, I thought that Leah or Rosalie would be perfect as a lead and I decided on Leah since I was going through a major Blackwater phase and because of the history with Emily.

So here's a youtube video of the audio and with the lyrics to the song:

Eclipse hadn't come out when I wrote this so I hadn't really pictured anyone as Leah. However, I think Julia Jones is an amazing choice. She's pretty, but she has a tough kind of look about her and I think it perfectly matches her character in this story. I know everyone knows what she looks like, but here's just a great picture of her.

I think I described Emily as being very beautiful so I kind of always knew how I pictured her. I actually pictured her as very beautiful pornstar named Jenaveve Jolie. I believe she's part Native American so it's kind of perfect.

 I really fell in love with Rachel when I was writing. When I posted the epilogue, I had it take place 7 years later on purpose so that Rachel would be 18. I found a picture of how I pictured her, so it's more for the sequel because this is how I picture her looking when she's a little older.

Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson was a big inspiration when writing the break up chapter, I lisened to it on repeat. Kelly looks really pretty in the video, so here it is.

The part of the lyrics that were the biggest inspiration was this part:

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

 So speaking of the sequel... I'm still not sure what I'm going to do about it. I don't really write het anymore (even though I love this story) and I read so much Blackwater that I still need a break from it. I'm thinking of asking a friend if she wouldn't mind writing it for me, or if any of the reviewers wouldn't mind trying to write it. If you're interested, just contact me and hopefully we can work something out.

Double Trouble

So I definitely think that this is my naughtiest and most taboo story, it's one of my favorites though. So I described what the twins looked like, but here's how I pictured them:
So of course I think Cam looks the best with his short, brown hair, but I still think he's smoking hot with that blonde ponytail!

I definitely ended this in a way so that it was satisfying, but also where I could add on to it if I wanted to. I've already started the next chapter, I have no idea when I'll finish it, but be on the look out for it!

Want To

I decided to add the video to "Want To" by Sugarland and also the lyrics. Jennifer Nettles looks so beautiful in the video and I love the lyrics. I never planned on writing a story based on the title or lyrics but after watching an interview with them talking about the song, it inspired me. Basically, they said it was about taking any kind of relationship to the next level.

Video:

I'm just going to post the chorus:
 
Whole world could change in a minute
Just one kiss could stop this spinning
We could think it through
But I don't want to, if you don't want to
We could keep things just the same
Leave here the way we came, with nothing to lose
But I don't want to, if you don't want to
 


The first chapter of this story actually had something resembling a plot, but the other chapters were pretty much just there for me to practice writing smut since I was still new at it. The timing of when I posted this story was done purposely because *spoiler alert if you haven't read my story Realize* the first full lemon I was supposed to write was the rape scene for Realize and I didn't want that to be my first anal scene so I had to come up with something for another story to write. I was so new at writing smut at the time that I looked at pictures of different positions. One of the pictures that inspired me was this one:



I like the ending and I think it kind of fits the nature of the story, but I've been thinking of writing an epilogue or just a random scene in the future. I'm not sure when, but I will hopefully get to it eventually!

Can't Take My Eyes Off You

I posted a picture of how I imagined Jasper, but here it is again.
I picked him because I really wanted to picture a hot blonde and I love his hair. His hair hides his face especially in this picture and that's the kind of look that I was going for.


This is honestly one of my favorite stories and one that I'm the most proud of. I want to explore writing creepy James because it was fun. It's one of the very few stories that I pretty much wrote in one sitting. I'm not sure when I'll get around to it, but I definitely want to add either an epilogue type chapter in the future or a flashback chapter with Jasper/Victoria and James/Emmett.




When Hate Turns To Love

I posted a picture of how I imagined my OC Alejandra, but here it is again.
I  think that she was a perfect fit because she's absolutely gorgeous, her hair, her skin tone, her lips, her eyes and her figure were just exactly what I pictured in my head.

This was my first story and I've grown so much since I wrote it. I'm planning to edit it eventually. I'm not going to change any of the actual plot so once it's rewritten, you don't have to read it over again. Basically, I'm editing it so I can feel better about the story.

So... I got bored one day and I actually started writing a little bit of the sequel for this story on my BlackBerry. I'm not exactly sure what made me want to write it, but I just started writing it. I have about half of the first chapter written. So I'll give you guys a little sneak preview!

 Alejandra's POV
 
"Baby, I don't like it," Emmett whispers in my ear.

"It'll be fine, Em. He's just taking me hunting," I assure him.

"I know, but I don't trust him. I don't like the way he looks at you," He continues.

"I wasn't aware that he looked at me a certain way," I comment.

Emmett kisses my cheek. "Of course not, but I notice. He looks like he's still in love with you."

 That's pretty much all that I have for this story. I already explained why I decided to post it and I don't have much to offer about where the idea came from. I just wrote it a long time ago before I discovered AH fan fiction. Before AH, I basically wrote stories with OCs.







Welcome!

I want to welcome everyone to my blog and thank everyone for coming by! :)

As I've already stated, I will be using this blog for my fan fictions. Basically all of my extra goodies like pictures, videos, lyrics, and just background information will be posted here. I had the idea to do this a while ago, but I just never got around to actually doing it. After reading The Twilight Saga The Official Illustrated Guide, I became inspired to really do this for real.

I'm really struggling with my stories and a lot of them are old, so I wasn't sure how I wanted to handle those stories, but I decided that some reviewers might be interested in some of the things that I'll post, so there will pretty much be something for every story.

Again, thanks for stopping by and I really hope that you'll enjoy yourself! :)
