Teaser for 'Take You For A Ride'

Like many great authors in the fandom, I've joined the Fandom4Texas Wildfire Relief, offering a one-shot (yes, even if it's in very small print, my name's on the contributing authors pic)! If you want to, you could call it Twi, E/B, but don't expect them to behave accordingly. Here's a quick teaser!

“Hello there, stranger,” she called out in a husky voice, then shifted her balance so that she could swing one leg over the bike to get down from it, forcing me to revise my estimation of her height down another couple of inches once she stood on solid ground.

“Hey there yourself,” I replied, in what must have been the least eloquent choice of words since college. Her smile flashed brighter, then turned a little lopsided as she stretched languidly, letting her tight clothing accentuate a different set of curves than the road bends to get my heart hammering.

“You are quite a good driver,” I offered rather lamely in an attempt to keep my thoughts on something else than the form hugging expanse of yellow and black before me, the seat of my own leathers becoming increasingly uncomfortable by the second.

“Why, thank you,” she drawled, then idly reached up to push a sweaty lock off her forehead. “You're quite the devil on your little devil there yourself. Almost didn't hope to find a worthy opponent among all these old men on their heavy cruisers today.”

Any coherent answer I might have offered died low in my throat as she came sauntering over, then put her bare hand down on the tank of the bike mere inches away from where I still sat.

“Do you mind if I take a look at your package there?”

BL RIP

I'm writing this post to let you know that I've pulled the three posted chapters of one of my WIPs, 'Bloody Lies'.

Now, I know that I said I would never pull a fic to get it published. I lied, or rather, omitted to add, unless I feel like it's not working out the way I intended it to.

Which is the case with BL. I still intend to write it, maybe even try to get it published, and I won't change much besides the names and physical descriptions. In my mind, the characters have never been twi, so I don't think I'll have much of a problem. Why I think it doesn't work then? Because in my readers's heads, they were twi, and already three chapters in that was rather obvious. I expected that to happen to a certain extent, but you surpassed even my worst fears, and while in the planning stages the idea to fuck with everyone's minds because of that, in actual writing it doesn't work for me.

The story is complicated, as are the characters, and they deserve a clean slate.

I'm grateful for the wonderful feedback I got, and I'll keep all your reviews close to my heart, and labelled in my inbox.

For the judgmental bitches out there, no, I did not pull it because it got less reviews than TEMC - everything I ever wrote got less reviews than TEMC, and all the rest stays online on FFn, TWCS, and my google site. No idea what you judge such claims on, but in my world, 152 reviews for 3 chapters is a great ratio. If the story had worked as intended, I would have completed it. Fact is, it didn't, so to spare everyone months of dragging on or expecting updates that won't come, I'm ending this, as it is, now.

I'm not sure what I will be working on after TEMC is complete in roughly 10 chapters from now. Besides possible outtakes, extra chapters, and one-shots, I don't think I can stand not to have a multi chapter WIP going. Honestly, I think even in the best case of publishing a novel, 20 years from now, I'd start another fanfic, just for the heck of it. I love writing, and I love writing fanfic, but just like any other writer, I have some ideas that simply don't work the way I want them to. I'm sure that Hemingway had a drawer full of half finished stuff, too. The downside of my fanfic writing mode of posting as I write, instead of finishing before I post, is that, eventually, a story had to come along that didn't make it far. I'm sorry that I had to pull it, but I think it's the fair solution for all of us.

And, let's get real, it was only three chapters.

"Guess" - 1st chapter for Fandom Fights Tsunami Compilation


Like many other writers in the fandom I've signed up to contribute something to the Fandom Fights Tsunami compilation - and as I'm about to email them my story, I figured I should raise awareness for the cause once more!

Right now almost 300 authors have signed up for this compilation that you can still donate to the cause to get until July 1st! The compilation will be sent out on May 20th, so the sooner you donate, the sooner you'll get it!

Unlike some other writers who will keep their contribution exclusive to this compilation I will post mine after the donation drive is over - mainly because I was unable to come up with a o/s, and instead wrote the first chapter for the next new multi chapter fic! [as of now I'm very afraid of my brain, just so you know]

May I present to you - "Guess", a Jasper/Edward, AH/OOC story.
Summary:
When shy, introverted Jasper Whitlock and his sister Bella move to Forks, she is intent on setting him up with charismatic Edward Masen - straight quarterback and jock to some, interesting guy to others. A perfect match made in high school hell, or a recipe for disaster?

UP NEXT

With ABD coming to a definite end next Saturday, I would like to take the time for a quick update about what I'm planning (and already writing on) for the months to come. And I need your help – I need banners for my two new stories, and it would be great if someone who has a knack for banners could 'adopt' them.

Among an infinite number of possible one-shots to come up with (including but not limited to HBR/ABD outtakes) I have two longer multi-chapter stories lined up next, BL and TEMC.

BL – Bloody Lies
After finishing 'Bend me, break me' (and more recently, the 2nd POV to it), I've been wanting to write a story that is fast, dark, and has enough twists that I really need an outline (and don't get to wing it again like with HBR/ABD where I knew what would happen, but the real plot was easy to keep track of in my head). Something to challenge me and my readers both, with strong, complicated characters, none of whom really belong to the 'good guys'.

If I can pull it off as I aim to, it will be somewhat of a love child of Tarantino's movies & Inception. It will be from Bella's POV, but she's probably one of the most un-Bella-esque Bellas I've ever created. Like with BMBM I will freely steal the twi names and physical attributes – and that is about where the resemblance to other twi fanfics will end. It will be violent, bloody, delve deep into the darker sides of the human psyche, and I can't wait to finally start writing it after almost a year of planning. There won't be much smut, but there will be some. Once you get to meet Edward, you'll probably understand why.

BL will update Saturdays (getting ABD's spot simply because the story will be longer, with possibly longer chapters).


TEMC – The Elusive Mr. Cullen
Bella is a high class escort, Edward her newest client, they soon realize that there's more between them than great sex and witty conversations. While Bella doesn't believe in fairy tales, her life seems to be turning into one fast. Or is it?

While that summary might sound like hundreds of fics out there, don't forget it's me writing it, so expect a few twists and turns, larger than life characters, and smut. It was planned to be about 19 chapters long and coming shy of 80k words, but 8 chapters in I can already tell you that it's getting longer than that. It's also in Bella's POV, her narrative is very refreshing and spunky (pun intended, of course), and while the story comes with a hefty dose of romance, it's not going to be fluffy.

After all, fairy tales used to be about something else except meeting your Prince Charming not so long ago.

TEMC will update Tuesdays, to spread the love over the entire week.

HELP!
Now it would be kind of neat to have a banner each for BL and TEMC. If you know me, you know I'm not a fan of the whole pics of the twi actors craze, and I don't want any of them in any of the banners. The banners should be simple and classy, and of course I'll thank whoever takes on the challenge in my A/Ns and here (and I'm not adverse to offering to write a o/s or outtake in return for it, too). If you're interested, please email me at daria.chenowith@gmail.com so we can discuss things!

Short(er) projects:
- Because almost everyone who commented on my Eurofornication slash o/s 'In Vienna' was curious how that would continue, we've done some heavy duty brainstorming to come up with a few more chapters. 5-6 probably, and I don't know yet when I'll have the time to write them. Before summer, hopefully.
- I'm working on a o/s for the 'Twilight Fights Tsunami' Compilation. Not 100% sure what it will turn out to be (I'm still open for suggestions, hint hint) but the current plan is a Jasper/Alice o/s, somewhat angsty, somewhat smutty, and hopefully something that will break your heart but also make you sigh happily. I want to contribute a stand-alone o/s for it, and this is your chance to tell me what to write ;)
- There's still the matter of 'Velvet & Chains', my Dommella's Dungeon sample entry. I haven't forgotten about it, but need to take a break from all things kinky, but if I come up with a solid plot I might develop that into a medium sized fic after TEMC is finished.

QUESTIONS?
I'm going to post the first chapters of BL and TEMC next Saturday, just before I post the last ABD chapter (provided I actually write that first BL chapter until then), so you can head right over to read them. If you have any questions about either of the fics, I'd be happy to answer them on the blog next week.

ABD Chapter 37 notes




Almost done now!

I personally think this is one of the best chapters to characterize all of three of them. In a way, it could already have been the last chapter of the story, but there are still a few loose ends to tie up for next week's update.

ABD Chapter 35 notes



posted at:



We're down to the last 4 chapters - now I can say that chapter 38 will be the last one. I'm really going to miss the three of them, but they deserve some rest (particularly after chapters 36 and 37 lol)

If you want to read any of the o/s I mentioned in the a/n of the chapter, you'll find the links in the previous blog posts. 

Prassacut's 'Eat, Laugh, Fuck' you can find here:
The story really deserved to win, and deserves many more reviews and attention (hint: if you help me pester her she might write the next chapter faster! Peer pressure FTW!)

My entry for the anonymous Eurofornication contest - as you all know I don't like to write for contests, but this one I couldn't pass up! I would have loved to tell you how many votes I got or how far from either of the winners my story places, but the hosts think it is an awesome idea not to tell anyone, not even the contestants.

Summary:
One breakup. Two guys. Three bars. Endless possibilities.
OOC/AH, Slash (Edward/Jasper), M for many reasons.

There isn't really much I can say about this story - besides thank Alex again for the awesome banner. He even hid a cat in it for me!
The story took a lot of time, strength and energy to write, and if I may say so, I'm proud of it.

ABD Chapter 34 notes

posted at:



Another of the weeks where I don't really have much to say besides the A/N already in the chapter. I hope this chapter showed you that it's by far NOT easy to be a good Dom, compared to how 3/4 of fanfic handles the topic.

Later this week there will be another update, although not for ABD. You've probably been holding your breath for that for 2 months, or the better part of a year now, trust me when I tell you I'm right there with you ;)

ABD Chapter 33 notes

posted at:


Sorry for being a little late (and too lazy to find a good pic), FFn is still screwed up so I haven't replied to ANY reviews personally yet - don't want to make anyone feel left out because the site eats my replies. I'll try to reply to those that need replies because of specific questions or comments later, although considering I haven't had the time and headspace to write anything new on ABD since February 5th, I kind of doubt it. One more week and I will have run out of my writing backlog, eep!

General explanations, statements, and a slight soap box moment below - plus a quick update on why I'm being such a recluse of late.

Fandom Fights Tsunami Compilation

I'm normally not a huge joiner, but I feel this is one charity I can't pass up. I've signed up today to contribute a o/s to the Fandom Fights Tsunami compilation.

Infos at: http://fandomfightstsunami.blogspot.com/

In short, for a donation of at least $10 you'll get a compilation of stories by May 20th. Right now there are 160 authors who signed up, and it's just been 3 days so far.

Now I'm very open for suggestions as for what to write in that o/s - if you have some idea that you think I could pull off or you'd love me to write it - please share! Any paring, any kind of smut, you know I'm game!

Not much to say about this chapter - I think it's pretty straight forward, but if you have any questions about it, I'll be happy to add another post in a few days to answer them!

If you have a moment, please answer the blog post before this one! Thanks!

LMU - To pull or not to pull?


The thing is - if you've read my note at the end of "Lift Me Up" you know that I'm not particularly fond of the story. I don't think it represents my 'talent' and 'style' at all, and it's been over half a year since I got any reviews for it (not counting one of my friends who recently finished reading it). It's a bit like a sore tooth on my stories list, and I think it's time to pull it.

What do you think? I'm not going to re-up it anywhere else, nor will I send out backups of it.

ABD Chapter 30 notes


posted at:



Unfortunately I had to skip a week - sorry for that, if you want to know the reason for it, more below. Also, I got a few reviews and comments in the last weeks full of concern for Bella, and I think it's time that I explain a few things a little more to alleviate your fears.

If you were wondering about how B was tied up in the second part of the scene - I didn't find a better pic (using cuffs instead of rope), but this about aligns all limbs about the same way. It's just a little worse with less distance between ankles and wrists as it puts more strain on pretty much every muscle in the whole body.

ABD Chapter 28 notes

Not really much to say about the chapter - although I feel a little like running and ducking for cover. The sex wasn't planned, it just happened. The rest - well, I think you can guess that this was one of the chapters I've been itching to write for a long, long time. Hope you liked it!

fic rec: Crouching Sissy, Hidden Crusher, by prassacut


Posted at FFN:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6726944/1/

Summary: Domme Bella is back and has a Sissy kneeling in her dungeon, who happens to also be her boyfriend. HA, OOC, BDSM.

I might be a little biased as far as this fic goes - the author is my friend, and she wrote the story as a birthday present for me - but I would have loved it even if someone else had written it, and not for me. It's kind of the sequel to her other BDSM fic, Crouching Painslut, Hidden Strapon, but you don't have to have read that to enjoy this o/s (although I highly recommend that you do, it's awesome!!)

There is one thing I love about the fic above all else - it's BDSM. And I mean REAL BDSM, not some badly researched wank fantasy - the girl knows what she's writing about, and it shows! The characters are strong, the story well written, the sex beyond hot - I'm at a loss for words to describe it, see that as a testament to how good the story is!

Her Bella is an incredible Domme, and reading this o/s really makes me want to kneel at her feet and ask her to do her worst to me. If you're up to reading something that makes me salivate - go! Read! Leave her some love, because she really deserves it!

L, thank you so much again!! Best birthday present ever!!

Summary: Sometimes unexpected guests knocking at your door in the middle of the night can be very welcome. Written for my friend L's birthday. AH/OOC, Lemons.

I've actually popped my girl-on-girl only cherry with this little delicious fic that will soon be extended into a two-shot! If you're looking for some hot, sensual read, you should check it out!

BMBM SG POV sent!


Already done by Monday, but today is the first day I have time for adding a post here.
Took me long enough, but finally Suit Guy POV of 'bend me, break me' is sent out to all the members of my FGB team!

I've emailed all of you, but very few have gotten back to me about receiving the file. Please do so that I can check everyone off my list and return to writing! THANK YOU!!

BMBM SuitGuyPOV finished

or as good as done!
At least the writing part is finished, which at nearly 44k words is definitely the mammoth part of the project! What still needs to be done is proofreading and editing, and I have to write the personal note to the wonderful members of my awesome Fandom Gives Back team, who have been more than patient with me!

I hope I manage to have everything wrapped up until the weekend so I can send you your story, finally! I'm so sorry that it took me so long to finish, but the bastard shut up on me for months, and the fic deserved to be written at 120% capacity so I didn't force it and waited until writing started flowing a week ago again.

What does that mean for the rest of avid, impatient readers out there?
As I promised before, I will post the story on FFn and TWCS two months after I've sent it to my FGB team members.
I'm not being mean withholding it from you, those were the terms of the auction. If for some reason you missed the FGB auction, or haven't been reading my stuff back then, you can still donate at the FGB / Alex's Lemonade Stand and email me the confirmation, and I'll include you in the team and send you the story with the others. I'm happy to explain the details to you (also if you're not familiar with the Fandom Gives Back author auctions), again, I'm not making any money with this, just helping to raise it for a good cause.

If you have questions, please write me at daria.chenowith@gmail.com, you'll get the story from our team email, teamBMBM@gmail.com

I won't participate in the next round of FGB author auctions, simply because my writing drive is too stupid for this to work. I was so sure I would manage to be on time this round, and you all know what happened. I still encourage all of you to join and donate! (you can always donate, even outside of the auction weeks!)

Nomination at The Twinklings Walk of Fame Awards


I'm happy to tell you that both I as a writer and 'A Beautiful Disaster' as a story have been nominated for The Twinklings Walk of Fame Awards!

Here's the direct link to the voting site!

Of course I won't ask you to vote for me, but if you happen to find me and/or the story as your favorite in the respective categories (Danger Diva & Delicious Domme), please, by all means, go ahead! May the best writer and stories win!

O/s: From Ex With Love


From Ex With Love, a juicy little Bella / Jasper o/s, written for my friend C's birthday!
Summary: I knew something was wrong the moment I stepped out of the car into the cold night, sliding my glove covered fingers from the valet's gentle grasp. Call it woman's intuition, if you will, but I had long ago learned the hard way to trust my gut. AH/OOC

I know that not all of you are fans of this pairing, but you know how out of character I usually write, and except for some of the physical attributes those two don't share anything with the twi characters. I wouldn't even go as far as calling this story fanfic, but instead a smutty little 9k long tale with characters who, for whatever reason, happen to have the names Isabella and Jasper. Enjoy!
