Author has written 15 stories for Twilight. Hello, I'm Ali. Yeah, I'm still alive. I've just entered zombieland (no, not the movie) - or somewhere otherwise known as Parenthood. Being pregnant completely ate up all my creativity and left me with no desire (or frankly, ability) to write anything worth posting (though I suspect it had less to do with pregnancy than the inability to drink alcohol while trying to write). Though I've picked it up again, having a baby that hates to be put down leaves me with limited time to write. However, I've been plodding along slowly ever since I delivered, and I hope to start posting updates for Chain Reaction soon. I'm going to write through the end before I post - and I promise, I will finish. I know it sucks to get involved in a story that stalls. I just hope you might care enough to pick it back up when I finally finish. And I still know how to operate a crematory oven. Just in case you were wondering. Follow me on Twitter if you'd like, but I'm almost never on there. You know, the whole kid thing. Holy crap, I'm one of those people. God help me. I used to hang out on LiveJournal: http://araeo.livejournal.com/. Beware, fics might not be the only things you find. Other entries may or may not include random griping about stupid shit that's not fic-related and open letters to my brother-in-law. A note on translation requests: I'm so, so sorry, but I've decided not to allow translations. You all can blame me for being a silly uni-lingual American, and I'll take it. I can't write/read/speak any language other than English, but I know enough about languages to realize that things can get lost in translation. It's not a reflection on any translator, but since I won't be able to read the finished product, I'm not really comfortable with the idea. I'm grateful for all the requests, and amazed/humbled that anyone would take the time to do that for my stories, and again, I'm really sorry. | |||||||
