Hello!

I haven't seen a C/F on this author, (maybe I've missed one) but does anyone know what happened to Elyse Ganies? http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2440427/  

Both of her stories "Don't Stand so Close to Me' http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6653645/1/ and 'Hot Pitch' http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6654205/1/ were updating regularly until the beginning of April, and then just stopped.  I really hope all is well with her and would love to finish reading both of her fun stories, especially DSsCtM.

Thanks for any input you may have, here is a rec of one of my favorite stories for your time:

Faithfully, by LailaB http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5879485/1/

Faithfully
Edward, the lead singer of Eclipse, has always considered himself fulfilled. He has never desired an emotional connection with anyone outside his band or family, until he meets a much younger Bella on European summer tour. Will love prevail? AH/OOC

Conversations with My Killer
To me, life was a heartbeat in time and a breath of air. Jasper showed me it was truth, justice, faith, love, and fear. He dared me to be different. He encouraged me to defy the rules of my world and create my own. And on my last day, he took it all.

Woohoo an update! I've been hoping that everything was ok with the author since it's been a while.  She gives us a summary at the beginning of the chapter.  I love this story so much!  Lets discuss!

Fellow campers,

I got an email today from someone asking for permission to translate my story Beautiful Sorrow to German. My first reaction is "OMG! Yesssss! Yay!" Then I came down from my high and realized I should put some thought behind this before jumping in head first. To those who are wiser and more knowledgable, please share your thoughts with me. If you have been through this, tell me what I should consider and be wary of when I make this decision. Pros? Cons?

Thank you:)

Here's the rec:

Bonne Foi by Amethyst Jackson

I was reading Miami at Twilight by Mischief-Maker1 this am (she really lives up to her name, let me tell you!!) and LITERALLY while in the midst of reading a chapter, she pulls all of her fics from ffn.  When I clicked to go to the next chapter it said this story doesn't exist (or something technical).  After yelling "WHAT THE HELL?" and getting very strange glances from my husband, I went back to her profile.  There it is in black and white, she's gone and taken all her fics with her.  Has this ever happened to anyone??  Now, of course, I just have to know what happens.  Can ya help a sista out?!  Does anyone have a copy they would be willing to share or can you direct me to where I might find one? PLEEEEEEEASE!!

For all your help here's a rec:

On another matter (please bear with me cuz I'm a little frazzled)  I discovered today that another fic that I've had on my reading list has been pulled The Caged Bird Sings.  I'm trying to figure out how to search for info on this in the Forest but can't figure out how to search the campfires for pulled fics.  

I KNOW I AM WHINING but someone please HELP me! 

Chapter 33 - The Letter

SPOILERS INSIDE

We have an update! Let's discuss!

 edit: there will be spoilers!

I need to vent...

Even though I know there's no love lost between many of you and Twilighted, I've always liked to cross post my fic there and on FFN. I started out reading Twilight fic on Twilighted, and I think I would feel a little sad abandoning it. But lately I've absolutely had it with the validation process - not because my stories are declined, but because they keep flipping betas on me!

Here's the situation... I submitted the latest chapter of my story last Sunday. With it being very early in the school year, I was too busy grading pretests and planning to realize that chapter four hadn't been validated. When I checked my chapter's statistics on Friday, I noticed that someone at Twilighted changed my beta's name to another beta...one who is listed as retired! I've had my beta changed on me before without warning, but never to one who is retired!

I sent an email to the ladies over at Twilighted this morning, but I still haven't heard back. I've always waited to post on FFN until Twilighted validated, but now I'm reconsidering. :(

So tell me...Has anyone else had problems with validation beta switching on Twilighted? How did you handle it? What should I do??

It's that time again!

Tell us what you write! Are you trying out something new?

Tell us what a friend writes! Are you proud of their hard work?

Tell us what you beta! Are you blown away?

Show us a banner you made! Did it take you forever?

Just self pimp to your hearts desire because this is the best place to do it!
