2013-06-13 2 comments

I was writing a review for The Brandons by jmolly and was looking for some images with Alice and Jasper.

The Brandons, by jmolly: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6008317/1/The-Brandons

When I saw this stunning image by Alicexz on Deviantart, I thought it was perfect for the story.

The Second Line won the judges round!

Twilight romance fiction. Prompts: Free Pass and writing in 2nd person narrative. Here is what TiffanyAnne3FF had to say about it:

The author did a good job capturing the emotion of the moment in a short piece. The use of second person worked well, and the primary prompt (two of something) was clear.

Great banner! Thanks to Detochkina!

THANK YOU!

I'd like to say "Thanks" to SatinCoveredSteel and Camilla10 once again for their editing and support.

Here's the banner I made for the story.

And here's the story: The Second Line.

Stand Up for Katalina @SU4Katalina

2012-09-30 No comments

Thanks to Lissa Bryan, I've found a very noble initiative: Stand Up for Katalina - an outpouring of fandom love for a beautiful soul. Here's the story behind this fundraising:

Each of us has been touched and devastated by the ravages of cancer, and in order to recognize this, we’re offering the opportunity to dedicate the monetary donations in memory of, or in honor of, a loved one’s battle. “Stand Up 2 Cancer’s mission is to fund collaborative, translational cancer research to bring treatments from the bench to the bedside faster, and save lives now.” So while SU4K is intensely personal, it also offers the vehicle for universal, broad-based support.

There are more than fifty contributing authors so far, as well as many talented betas and banner artists who are giving a hand.

I've subscribed as banner maker, so if you want me to make a banner or a blinkie for your story for the compilation, you're very welcome!

Please go visit the initiative's website, give your support, donate.

Thanks!
