Author has written 8 stories for Twilight, and Degrassi.

As you can see my name is Leigh. When it comes to my stories and poetry I am usually a very private person. I have a couple stories that I have started and still have yet to finish. I write mostly for the Twilight Saga.

By the way I am 26-years-old. My life is not very exciting and even though it gets boring at times I prefer for it to be that way. I love to read. Spend most of my reading time reading fanfiction or another one of the books in the Twilight Saga. I desperately need to read another book, but what can I say I am addicted.

Why I deleted Willingly Losing Control - It became one big chaotic mess for me. It might looked like there was a well thought out plot line, but there wasn't. I was making it up as I went to long. Many of the authors here are new at writing Twilight fiction or fanfiction in general. I'm new at creative writing all around. The last time I wrote a story was when I was in the 6th grade, I'm now 26-years-old, even then there was a lot of flaws in my writing.

Edward and Bella didn't seem like Edward and Bella to me at all. I know it said that it was very OOC, but when I'm writing the characters as a vampire/human relationship they need to actual feel somewhat like Edward/Bella to me. I'm not sure who these characters were, but they definitely weren't E/B.

I have no idea how I got the idea that Edward could ever take on the role of a submissive. I'm guessing that that idea popped into my head after I read the end of Eclipse where Edward decided to "let" Bella be in control of her own life. Well that just meant that he realized he needed to let Bella make her own decisions, and he didn't always know what's best for her. It didn't mean that he was becoming submissive, and just because someone is a control freak doesn't automatically make them dominant. I do believe Edward has a dominant persona now, and someone with a dominant persona isn't exactly a control freak. I'm a bit of a control freak, I'm working on it, but I'm actually rather submissive. People actually do take Edward seriously. His family looks up to him and they listen to what he has to say, except for Rosalie.

Don't worry, WLC will be back. It will just be way different. It won't be an all human story like Misunderstood Decisions. I actually want to skip ahead a few years or decades and make it an all vampire story. There are too many limitations with Bella still has a human. I want to have a well thought out plot before I even start writing the rough draft of the first chapter.

Now if you want this story to get out there faster, I'm going to need some assistance. If you are willing to help me and you are over the age of 18 or 21 (whatever the legal age of adulthood is where you live) with some knowledge of adult alternative lifestyles please send me a private message with the words "WLC Assistance" in the subject bar. I'm trusting you to be honest, and not lie to me about your age. I don't want to discuss this with minors.

Now that's only the first half of the problem. The 2nd half of the problem has to do with how I completely humiliated myself with the last chapter of WLC before I deleted. A good portion of the reviews I got for that chapter made me question why I even wrote to begin with, and more so why I published my stories online. I can handle constructive criticism, and the key word here is constructive. Saying something is "retarded" or awkward without explaining why and how I can change it isn't constructive. Also don't be so fucking high and mighty to expect me to change one small thing about my story just because you don't like it. My story doesn't revolve around you. I can't please everyone. If you don't like it then quite reading it. Remember this for my other stories, and when I put WLC back up.


Story Lines I Will Never Write

1. Edward leaves Bella again. I am so sick of this storyline. Did the people that write these stories not pay attention to the books? Edward said he won't leave Bella again unless she orders him away. Edward is a fast learner. The only reason he left her in New Moon was for her safety. (Now, I know nothing says a good time like living in a rat infested attic in Brazil.) He was barely making it without her and he found out that his leaving did absolutely nothing to keep her safe. In conclusion Edward will not leave Bella again. There are enough of these stories out there. We don't need anymore.

2. Edward cheats on Bella. I am actually thinking of writing a parody to this one. Edward would never cheat on Bella. Drama in a story does make it interesting, but the whole cheating story line is just a cheap attempt to add a climax to the story. There are already too many of these stories.

3. Edward gets Bella pregnant. There is one pregnancy story line out there that I do like and that is The Generosity of Artemis by ljv. It is very well written and it is not filled with a bunch of fluff. (I do like fluff. Some stories have way too much.) Besides ljv's masterpiece, the pregnancy story lines are not something that I enjoy.

4. Jacob rapes Bella. My feelings for Jacob went from good to bad and now to understanding. He still gets on my nerves. Personality wise he is not someone I would get along with. With all that being said he would never rape Bella. If I feel the need to have Bella get raped in one of my stories, it won't be the hands of Jacob Black nor Mike Newton. (It is very unlikely that I would write a Bella gets raped story line at all.)

Here are a list of stories I'm currently working on:

1. The Connection Runs Too Deep - I haven't update this story in awhile but I'm currently working on the next chapter. A short summary: Bella tries to leave Edward in attempt to save him, but dies when she gets into a car accident. Instead of passing on to the other side she's 'damned' to spend her time with Edward as a ghost. She has to overcome many obstacles before Edward is able to see her, hear her, and feel her touch.

2. A Tear in the Family Portrait - The least expected person comes into the lives of the Cullens and wreaks havoc upon them and their lives, causing only Alice, Jasper, and Carlisle to survive. (I will update the summary once I reveal who the person is.)

3. Misunderstood Decisions - The human counterpart of Willingly Losing Control. AU. Everyone is human. It's a mature storyline, but for the subject matter (alternative adult lifestyles) it's very tame.

4. The Internal Conflict of Bella Swan - My plan with this story to show Bella being able to overcome how internal conflict (i.e. her self hatred.) I plan on writing a sequel to this story once it is finished about Edward's internal conflict.

5. One-shots I'm working on without giving away too much detail: 1. Bella makes a futile attempt to deal with Edward's advances during her ovulation. So far I only have one that I'm working on.
