Delilah Lovett Fanfiction

 Hey there,

I'm here to tell you that I'm back to help out another great cause. If you didn't already know, there's been a huge flood in Nashville, Tennessee. It has destroyed homes and taken lives. Some ladies in the fandom decided to do a sort of repeat of what MsKathy did to help Haiti. You donate $5 to any charity that will support Tennessee and you get an eBook of a collection of stories from a large variety of authors. Currently, I'm offering up two pieces. A chapter from my future story, Unlucky Me, is up for grabs, as well as a brand new Peter/Bella one-shot. If I don't finish the one-shot in time, the future chapter is being added for sure, so you will get something from me. Neither of these will be posted to my FFn profile until August or later, to allow those who donated to have it to themselves for a bit. All you have to do to get this story and so many more, is donate just $5 to one of the accepted charities and make sure to forward the receipt to one of the hosting ladies. You can find out even more by clicking the title link of this post, which will take you to the livejournal community. You can find out where to donate and who to send the receipt to, as well as find a list of contributing authors. To mix things up, the next teaser post will have teasers from The Art of Online Dating Ch. 17, Unlucky Me Ch. 1, and the yet-untitled Peter/Bella one-shot. This will make up for the fact that I don't have an I'll Want You Forever Ch. 11 teaser for you, hopefully, and the post will go live sometime later tonight.

Please, please, donate to this cause whether it be with writing, as I'm doing, or with money, and help Nashville rebuild what has been lost. If so many of us can band together to help save Haiti, surely we can do so for someone closer to home (if you live in the U.S. of course) or just somebody else in need.

Adorable kitty says pweeze. :)

Hello!

Sorry for the delay with the teasers but I was out of town last week and still am for the rest of this week. However, because we skipped last week's teaser post, there will be two for each in this week's post. I also am happy to say that one of the teasers will be a written one.

It's looking like this next chapter of The Art of Online Dating will have a bit of angst, some humor and a lot of romance. I will be wrapping up the Victoria/James conflict and then there's Valentine's day to cover, so you know what that means! At least all the dirty birds will remember lol. But if you are underage or uncomfortable with the lemony scene, I will have markers for you to read around it. It won't take up the whole chapter and I know some of you get squicked out by those scenes. I wouldn't want to make anybody feel the need to stop reading because of it.

The next chapter of I'll Want You Forever is continuing the honeymoon and will be one of the last three chapters! I'm finally wrapping it up and I'm glad that some of you have stuck around this long.

So thank you and I promise there will be teasers this weekend.

TAOOD Ch. 17 - 15/100
IWYF Ch. 11 - 5/100

P.s. I think you all should check out my beta's stories. She's awesome and I am loving her ExB fic, Learning to Fall. So be sure to check out her stories, too :) http://www.fanfiction.net/~lie2me87

Profmom72 was so kind as to donate money to The Fandom Gives Back auction for me to write a piece for her. Her prompts were late night convenience store, Edward and Bella, and AU. I finally completed it. You can click the title to take you to the story. It's called No One Likes To Be Alone. It was only supposed to be 2000 words, but I went overboard by almost 1000 words because I couldn't get them to stop talking and I felt that Profmom deserved the extra amount since I took so long. I also made her a banner for it! Go read it and tell me what you think! Make sure you check out Profmom72's amazing stories, as well, because she's a kind person and an amazing writer. Also, if you like the story, I'm going to be putting myself back on the auction block for this summer's Fandom Gives Back Eclipse Edition, so look out for more info on that! :D
Here's the banner: 

Alright, here's just a post to update y'all with what I'm up to.

I am currently working on a banner/gif for Word Ninja for her story Big Sky. (Cowboy Edward, yum!)

I am making a gif for a lovely lady from the forest.

I am making a banner for the FGB auction piece for Profmom72.

I am starting a weekly pic/word teaser post tomorrow. What this means is that every Friday, give or take a few days depending on how busy I am or how badly I want to share with you guys, I will be posting a teaser of either the picture or written variety. Since I have barely written any of the next chapters due to work, school, and other commitments, I will be starting off with pic teasers for the next couple weeks. This will also work as my inspiration, so win/win? It also means that some of these photos may be NSFW (not safe for work) or school or children. If you are a mature, legal adult, wherever you may live, then great. If not, you probably shouldn't be reading the next couple chapters of my stories anyway lol. NSFW does not necessarily mean nudity however. It just may mean an excess of skin, light to heavy kissing, or insinuating of not so PG-rated actions. I most likely will never post nudity unless main parts are tastefully covered.

Here is how I stand on my updates:

IWYF Ch. 11-0/100 (I know, sad, right?)
TAOOD Ch. 17-10/100 (I focused on IWYF and the FGB piece, but this is my new focus.)

Estimated Dates of Completion (tentative and hopeful):
IWYF Ch. 11 - 5/31/10
TAOOD Ch. 17 - 4/30/10

I may also enter the All You Need Is Love Contest because I love The Beatles and it's short and will help me get back in the groove of things, hopefully, so you all should check out the contest and read the great entries already posted. So be on the lookout for the first pic teaser tomorrow, which may end up being in only a few short hours if I find the right pic.

P.s. I may also start a rec post for every once in a while, where I rec what I'm reading and what I think you should be reading. I'd also love if you guys posted your recs in the comments of those posts, whether it be what you love or what you write. :D

I updated I'll Want You Forever! I tried so hard to get it up on time for the Reader Appreciation Event, but school and housework made it impossible to finish it before midnight.

I just want to say thank you for being my readers. You are all amazing even for just reading my story. For those of you that review, I also thank you for sharing your kind words with me and letting me know how you feel about the story. It is an amazing feeling to write a story and post it online, let alone to know that people read it and sometimes even enjoy it. You are my encouraging group and make me happy to share my stories with you. Thank you for all that you do whether it is simply reading the story, reviewing to say you love/hate it or can't wait to see an update, and following it with me to the end.

I also thank you for your patience when I take so long with my updates. School, work, and home life sometimes make it difficult and can delay updates for months, as you all have seen, and the fact that some of you continue to follow the story and not burn me alive for taking so long, makes me extremely happy and relieved.

On another note, I will never abandon a story or take it down incomplete. I want to see these stories end, hopefully, as much as you all do and wouldn't want to give up the satisfaction and excitement of being able to click complete. You all are amazing and thank you again for being there in any way you can :D

Thank you, DL

So The Fic Bridge decided to extend the Reader Appreciation event over two days.

Summer Breeze, my piece for Haiti, was posted yesterday. I'll Want You Forever, will be posting later tonight, hopefully before midnight. I will also be updating this with an icons and banner post pretty soon. Most likely after I post the chapter. :D

Thank you to all my readers for being there for me and encouraging me to continue writing. It means a lot to me that you even look at my work and makes me even happier when you leave your kind words for me. I read all my reviews and respond to all of them. I used to give previews for them, but now those will be going here. I would still love to see what you guys think of each chapter or one-shot I post, even if it's just to say that you loved it, hated it, or want to see it continued. Thank you.

I am proud to say that I will be taking part in the Thank You event by finally updating I'll Want You Forever. It is the long awaited honeymoon scene!! It will end up being broken into two parts and total the story should have about 3 chapters left.

More info about my other stories along with my banners and teasers should be coming soon. I will also be posting the piece I donated to the Haiti compilation project that was set up by MsKathy, so be sure to check that out :)

Make sure to follow me on Twitter and keep track of this blog to find out more about my stuff!

I've decided to finally start a blog just for my fic. I will post teasers, banners, icons, and info about hold-ups on chapters or upcoming stories. I will attempt to at least update this once every two weeks at the least. :D
