so the other day i posted a fic here that was supposed to be part of this super-big-awesome mega post of music and creative writing & all of this fun stuff but the layout of the entry turned wonky and i decided to post them separately. :p

so, this word be part deux of the two-part thing i originally wanted to do. oh welllsss. :) this would be inspired by new moon & eclipse, featuring arcade fire, kings of leon, vitamin string quartet, and the queen lady gaga.

posted at my journal
hope you guys like! :)

Hi all! Just a quick, drive-through reminder of some things:

1. The fic request post is still running. Stop by to fulfill one of the many many requests already there. :)

2. At the end of this month, you can stop using spoiler tags for New Moon. Good job remembering to cut things! You guys are the best.

3. Join sortof_awesome.

4. As a reminder, we do not use pejorative terminology, such as failward, to refer to Edward Cullen, or - I don't know if we have negative terms for E/B, but don't use them. Remember: sortofbeautiful = sunshine and optimism. And also, angels.

4. Have a happy (and safe) New Year. bellaxjacob_bb fics are coming out mid-January, and I personally am very excited to see what comes out of that. So, here's hoping so a shining new year of good!fic and awesome.

That is all.

Love,
the mods

Forgive me if this isn't allowed, and delete it if necessary, but...

For over a week now I've been looking for this fanfic I started to read and didn't get to finish, and I can't find it again. It was a Bella/Jacob fic either on Twilighted or FanFiction.net. It was AU I think... Bella was away at school up north (Seattle?) and Jake was working as a park ranger and visiting her on weekends twice a month. She had an apartment and was preparing a meal, and was planning to propose to him. (Corny I know.)

It's driving me crazy that I can't find it again. I have done all the searches and can't find it. If this sounds familiar to anyone please let me know where to find it or what the title/author was?

In return I give you my favorite Jacob/Bella fic so far, "Patience" by sciphile: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5153544/1/Patience

Thanks!!

A/N: This chapter comes with some good news and some bad news:

The bad news: This is the last Jake/Bella chapter that I have written so far. There’s one more Angstward chapter tomorrow and then I’m all tapped out on Fix You for now. Chapter 10 should be published in about 2 weeks, and I’ll try my best to get a chapter to you every two weeks from then (if RL doesn’t kick my ass too hard :P)

The good news: Fix You is nominated for Best WIP in the Sort of Beautiful Awards, so, if you’ve been enjoying the story so far, you will make me squee and love you forever if you vote when the polls open :D

Also, you can follow me on Twitter too: @dahliablack86 (I practically live there).

Soundtrack :

Make Your Move – New Found Glory

Too Good To Be – New Found Glory

And some Miley Cyrus that’s too embarrassing to mention

 

Disclaimer: I don’t own anything. Stephenie Meyer owns everything. I’m just giving Jake and Bella the mackage they so surely deserve.

So, i'm looking for is such an cliche sentence but anyways, I am actually searching desperately for several memories that keep popping into my head. I don't know if they're from the same story but here goes nothing.

1: A fic where Ryan is young and found in his house in chino by Sandy, where Dawn, Frank and Trey are murdered and he's the only one still alive.. i keep thinking it was a reply to the challenge "Sandy is a... what?"

2:  Again Ryan's young here and he's just been taken in by the cohen's (I think this happens in the same story as my point one) But they're in the kitchen and Sandy scoops Ryan up in his arms and forgets that Ryan's afraid of heights and Ryan starts trembling as he's been put down on the counter... or something like that.

Hope one of you recognize this!

Title: All These Things I've Done  PART 1/3 - TIME
Characters: AU Bella, the Forks crowd, Charlie, Jacob, The Cullens.
Rating: PG-13, I'm sure there will be some colorful language later.
Summary: Bella Swan moves to Forks a few weeks before her Freshman Year.
Author's Notes: I made Bella a year older so that she’s a 19 year old senior and 15 year old freshman, because I kept getting confused with her age. And had the Cullens come Sophmore year, not Freshman year. Hey now - it’s an AU. I create what I want.



( in another time, in another place, you never got a chance to know them. )

Okay, so now I'm being a little silly.

Title: Bella And The Smock Of Injustice
Ship: Little bit o' this, little bit o' that.
A/N: First crack-fic. I heart J/B and I think E/B is mildly boring sometimes. Unless they are blatantly being made fun of. :)
Summary: Bella ends up with a copy of SMeyer's "Twilight". What will she do with this eerie story that is so close to her own? Read and find out! Crack-fic with a funny, very OOC Bella and Crew. Human names changed to protect the innocent. ;

I wrote my very own crack-fic. And because I heart you all so dearly...I've decided to share it with you. Here it is, on my fanfiction.net story page. Enjoy and I'd like some feedback since this is my first Twi-crack fic! Thanks.

Title: I Want to See the Sun Rise Anywhere But Here (Epilogue)
Ship (Fandom): Jacob/Bella (Twilight)
A/N: Many many many many thanks to snowfire for being my beta, cheerleader, and co-fangirl in arms. The title is from The Rescues' Break Me Out. This is an AU fic set in the middle of New Moon. None of this business belongs to me.
Summary: Her hands are shaking at her sides, but he knows can’t go with her. He knows he can’t say yes. It doesn’t matter how much he needs her or how much this terrifies him. He doesn’t know if by “this” he means Bella or the wolf. AU.

Part One: Jacob
Part Two: Bella
( The Epilogue )

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I just thought of something (inspired by an argument from Team Edward).
