"Some writers confuse authenticity, which they ought always to aim at, with originality, which they should never bother about."

THE BABYSITTER

This is my entry in the "Fic This Gif" contest, and I'm so happy to say it won First Place in the Public Vote, and Third Place in the Judge's Vote. Yay!

Note on the erstwhile Chapter 3: Mulligan noun \ˈmə-li-gən\ : any minor blunder which is allowed to pass unnoticed or without consequence.

In other words, I'm calling a do-over. Stay tuned.

THE SHIPYARD

Also known as "Derivations of Melville," this is my entry for the 2012 Age of Edward contest and it won a "Judges Choice" award. If you've read my stuff you might know that I have a small obsession with Moby Dick, which I have indulged big time for this one-shot. It's also my first venture into slash, so be forewarned.

LOVE IN IDLENESS

Loves difficulty, magic, dreams. Sound familiar? It's all been done before. William Shakespeare has graciously agreed to let me smoosh some Twilight into his play. Consider it Shakesfic, or A Midsummer Twilight's Dream.

HoochieMomma found the definitive picture for this story, and it will make me very happy if you look at it as soon as you can: Bella & Mote(s).

DiamondHeart78 interviewed me on her lovely blog. I talk about the story and maybe give some hints. Here it is.

LyricalKris and Kassiah reviewed the story on Fictionators and I'm still smiling at the section of text they used.

HeatherDawn made the most insanely beautiful banner for the story.

Time_Lights gave Bella gorgeous wings!

Jaimearkin used my favorite bug (fireflies)!

PRESSED FOR TIME

Summary: Is it possible to fall in love in five minutes? "He showed me what he was reading and, accidentally, I think he may have shown me his soul." BxE, Written with Chele681.

I'm still so incredibly proud it got Indie Fic Pimp of the week. So much so. And, if you're looking for it, it's posted on Chele681's profile page.

NEVERENDING MATH EQUATION

Summary: Based in Brooklyn. Edward and Jasper are brothers, each dealing with grief, ego and passion. This is a love story between a magician, a dreamer and an artist.

Yes, I know. I put it up. I took it down. I put it up again. And I took it down again. If you want to read it, you can find it here on Twilighted. (And remember, it's a Jasper x Bella story, ultimately.)
