As the tides turn.....

I'd like to ask if you've missed me but suspect there's been so much going on with Remember Me & New Moon releases as well as some shit hot fics updating that actually no-one has really noticed my lack of blog activity.

Note that I don't just say lack of activity, because I have actually been a very busy bee.  If you haven't noticed (and lets face it, how could you fucking miss it?) I've finally started posting my own multi-chaptered fic!  Buoyed by the success of my one shot being a runner up in the Auto Erotica contest, I decided to dig deep with the creativity and see what else I could come up with.  The result is Monsters & Angels and so far there's a Prologue and a full chapter posted.  As you can imagine, the writing is taking up more of my spare time so the blogging is having to take a bit of a back seat.  However!!

I couldn't possibly pass on reccing this fic to you.  I may be a little bit late to the game as it's a well known, highly reviewed, recently completed fic but it absolutely blew me away.  I am of course referring to the awesome Tides by Lambcullen.  Her Edward is so intense and determined to be with Bella, it's mind blowing.  And since we're at it, Catching Spiders is only a couple of chapters in and has already generated hundreds of reviews.  You just know that it's going to be good!!

I've rambled on enough for now, go check out the recs and let me know what you think.  Oh one last thing before I go - if you fancy a cheeky, hot little threesome check out 2 Girls & 1 Emmett by my girl uselessid90, it's amazing :D

Not One, Not Two, But A FuckTon Of Recs...

It's been a while huh? Not much I can say about that. I've been doing a lot of reading and while the fics I've read have been good, I can honestly say I've not found anything great. 
After experiencing complete and utter fucking heartfail waiting for the final couple of chapters of HunterHunting's Clipped Wings & Inked Armor (if you haven't read this I'm going to say 2 things - WHY THE FUCK NOT??? and GO, READ IT, NOW!!!), I decided I was going to approach my next multi-chaptered fic reading exploits in a slightly different way - I wasn't reading it unless it was complete!
Now if you've read my previous posts or you follow me on twitter you'll know that my 'to be read' list is pretty fucking extensive, you'd think this would make the choosing of fics easy - apparently fucking not!  I was looking for something to get my teeth into, but not something so epically long that it took over my life for weeks on end (yeah did I mention when I get engrossed in a fic, I get REALLY fucking engrossed?)
Imagine my delight when I decided on Stay by CrimsonMarie. At 37 chapters plus an epilogue, it's no quick read but it's so well written and the characters are fantastic.  It was one of those fics where I promised myself 'just one more chapter' everytime I was reading it.
It may not be choc-full of smut like some of my favourites and previous recs but the thing to remember with this is the fantastic plotline and characters, the sexy times are just an added bonus - and bloody well written into the bargain.
Now since I'm here and I have your attention, it's worth noting that there are a couple of contests going on just now.  In a shameless act of self pimpage I'd first like to recommend you have a gander at the Twific Auto Erotica Oneshot Challenge, where I just *may* have entered my first ever fic, go, read, vote (and not necessarily for me, although that would be nice!). Voting is currently open but closes SOON.
Another contest worth noting is the Devirginizing Edward contest, voting has just closed but winners are still to be announced and there are some great entries (I voted for my favourite so fingers crossed!)
Final rec for today goes to the AwkWard Contest which is currently accepting submissions until March 17th - I love the idea behind this contest and can't wait to read some of the entries.
So there you have it, I may not have been here for fucking ages but surely I've more than made up for it with all these recs? No? Humph, just can't please anyone these days... enjoy! Read, review & vote :D

Have a threesome for your patience......

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! I know it's been a while since I posted but there have been a couple of reasons - I've been MEGA busy with work and real life being a bitch; I'm not getting to read as much as I'd like to so I've been concentrating on the big ones as they've been updating and, lastly, I've not really read anything new that I've found worthy of recommendation.  Woah, yeah I really did just drop that fucking bombshell!!

Now that isn't to say that Twific has been crap, it's just I've had to wade through a lot of tripe (that *may* be a good old Scottish word!?!) trying to find something worthy of the rec.  I should also point out that I've been intentionally avoiding those with hundreds of reviews and trying to find something a little less known in the fandom.  That, my friends, is why it has taken me so long.

And fuck me if you guys aren't all over this shit! You certainly know a fucking good fic when you see it, and usually within the blink of an eye too haha.  So fuck it, I've decided I don't care if something has got hundreds and thousands of reviews, if I like it, I'm just gonna go ahead and rec it anyway.

Since you've been so patient with me and to make up for the delay, I'm gonna give it to you three times tonight ;-) 

First up we've got Purgatory: A Love Story by americanxidiot.  It's only eight chapters in but we all know how good a writer americanxidiot is and honestly, I could have rec'd this after the first chapter.  Fuck, I coulda rec'd this when I got the author alert cos I just know it was gonna be fucking awesome!  I love the idea behind this and can't wait to see how things evolve both with Bella and Edward and the story itself.  It's not your usual straightforward boy meets girl and they live happily ever after (eventually) kind of story either, there's some serious motherfucking plot going on here.  Just take my word for it and go read it, you won't regret it!

Secondly, I've got another one that is still in it's infancy - 4 chapters so far - but it is garnering reviews like you wouldn't believe.  Don't You Wanna Take A Ride With Me by stephk0525 features Professor Spin God as the sexy spin instructor who has Bella going weak at the knees, and not just with his workouts.  I go to spin classes 3 or 4 times a week and I know how fit these instructors are so the thought of Edward as one of them is just too fucking hot for words.  In fact, if he's looking to do a few more classes, I'm sure my gym could accommodate him...em what was I saying? Ah yes, *clears throat*.  So Bella doesn't want to just jump into having sex with Edward which has stephk0525 doing a little bit of the old cockblocking but it's still hot, hot, hot - watch out for the sauna, that's all I'm saying ;-)

Go. Read. Review.  And while you're at it, check out my own little first attempt which I wrote for the Twific Auto Erotica Oneshot Challenge, I've only had 2 reviews so far and would love to know what you think...
