HBR / ABD formspring

I've set up a formspring.me account specifically for HBR / ABD - but of course you can ask about my other fics there, too.


You don't need an account, just use this here, or the widget in the sidebar, or the direct link - http://www.formspring.me//HBRABD

And yes, I also answer personal questions, just, you know, behave ;)

If you want to join, we're accepting team members until the last day of the auction - July 2nd! Please email teamBMBM@gmail.com!

What you’re bidding on:
Suit Guy / “E” POV of Bend me, Break me, a 30-50k wild ride that should rival the original story - at least a month before anyone else will get to read it!

Yes, I will post it on FFn and TWCS eventually, but you get it first!

Plus, you get exclusively: A dedication as member of TeamBMBM and a brief (or not so brief) introduction to the story written by me where I explain how the story came to be and its background.

We bid as a team, and after we win the auction, every member has to donate individually - less complications for the team leaders, and the money goes direction from the bidder to ALSF!

an update on updates

or lack thereof.

If you still have me on author alert on FFn you've seen that I'm a busy bee even if ABD lies dormant at the moment. Let me give you a quick heads-up on my fanfic rambles:

- If you haven't read it yet, my Smut Monday contribution, Dark Like Chocolate
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5977485/1/Dark_Like_Chocolate

- Next Friday I'm up at twilighted's Friday Free For All - I'll also cross-post to FFn for everyone reading there. Ever wondered how Rose's little problem with getting pregnant but not knowing who was the father in Heartbreak Remedy came to be? On Friday you'll get the answer.
update: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6023549/1/

- My Fandom Gives Back story - Lift Me Up - is finished - getting posted to FFn Monday / Thursday / Saturday here:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5994639/1/Lift_Me_Up

Projects next up:
- Suit Guy POV of Bend me, Break me - for now exclusively for the members of TeamBMBM, might be posted later on FFn and TWCS, but if you want it first week of July, join the team.

- A new story, tentatively titled Bloody Lies - I only wrote the short intro until now, but it's intended to be my "stay sane" project alongside writing ABD. AH, very OOC, a little along the lines of how BMBM could have been if I hadn't killed Suit Guy and Bucket Girl off. Which I still think was the perfect end for the perfect story. My heart bleeds every time I get reviews hating me for it.

- And last but not least - A Beautiful Disaster! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about my favorite kinky couple. But I think we all know that this story is slowly inching towards that rockslide into utter mindfuckery, and when I get there, I don't want to let you all hanging for weeks between updates. So I'm taking another month off the story, finish all my other stuff that I listed above, and then I'll dive head first into it. And trust me, it's going to get grisly in parts, but that's why you read the story, right?
I intend to re-post the missing chapters and continue posting on FFn (next to the other sites) as I didn't receive a single hateful PM or email since I re-started posting ABD. I know most of you like FFn best, and with the new mobile feature the site gets even more convenient. And as long as things stay calm I don't see why I shouldn't post there.
Look forward to it in, say, late July / early August.

At the moment RL is gripping me hard, too - last month of the semester so I have a lot of term papers to write, exams to study for, and I should get the place for my diploma thesis lab finalized. Meaning I don't have too much time to spend with fanfic, so sorry for my lack of review replies. I simply don't have the time, I wish it were any different, but sadly it isn't at the moment. I still read all of them (twice actually, once on my phone, 2nd time when I sign into my gmail), and I love everyone who takes the 20 seconds and leaves me some love. I can't thank you all enough!

TeamBMBM for FGB Eclipse!

My good friend prassacut and I proudly present the official Team Bend me, Break me for FGB Eclipse!

We've signed up at the FGB homepage and at FGB Teams - and the details couldn't be simpler!

Join our team by emailing us at teamBMBM@gmail.com. The FGB Eclipse auction is running from 6/25 – 7/2, and after that team members will get the "E" POV of 'Bend me, Break me' exclusively delivered into their inboxes. Expect 30-50k words of a raw, wild ride!
The story might later be posted online on FFn and TWCS, but the stress is on later. It will be yours first, with a special dedication, long before anyone else can get their dirty hands on it!

The FGB homepage states they cannot (or will not) discourage from bidding alone against a team - but I personally do so. If you want to bid, please join the team. This is about raising money for a truly worthy cause, the more the better.

p.s. should you want to bid for me but not for this story, please email me at daria.chenowith@gmail.com, I'm happy to discuss things with you.

New Fic - Bend me, Break me & FGB Eclipse

My new fic - now online at
FFn - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5917473/1/bend_me_break_me
TWCS - http://www.twcslibrary.com/viewstory.php?sid=1739

Beware - it is gory, twisted, violent - read and heed the warning!
"WOW" has been the consensus of reviews so far, and it was even called an "emotional meat grinder ride"

Because the next Fandom Gives Back author auction is coming up in June - and because I have an amazing team at my back who pimp the fic up and down on twitter, I have decided to once again offer my services for sale!

Code name: #TeamEvisceration

Now what is it that I offer? The EPOV of 'Bend me, Break me'.
You all know this is for a good cause - I will post more details once June is closer - and our goal is to raise as much money as possible. If you want to back me, please PM me or email to teamBMBM@gmail.com - we'll get back to you with the information as we have it!

Until then I hope you enjoy reading the story - I personally think it's the best thing I have written so far! I will in the meantime work on ABD and the fic for last year's FGB auction that I still owe the lively five ladies who joined forces in my name (a romantic comedy fluff fest - as much as I am capable of succumbing to fluff!)

HBR reposted

Hi folks!

As several of you asked for it, I reposted Heartbreak Remedy @ The Writer's Coffee Shop Library -

http://www.twcslibrary.com/viewstory.php?sid=1634

feel free to review and rate the story and different chapters with their neat coffee cups, but please, if you do so, be fair and also rate the chapters you liked high and not just those you have a beef with low. thanks!

ABD chapter 12 notes

Not quite the picture I've been looking for to present the notes for ch12, but I still found it oddly fitting.

Links for posted chapter here:
Livejournal: http://dariaabd.livejournal.com/3326.html
googlesites: https://sites.google.com/site/dariachenowith/abd/chapter-12-1
TWCS Library: http://www.twcslibrary.com/viewstory.php?sid=1383&chapter=12

Not much to say about the chapter itself, except wooden clothespins = good starting gear, plastic ones usually come in the varieties from nasty to omfg eek! But it really depends on a person's sensitivity, independent of their usual pain thresholds.

Two new things:
- From now on I will write all A/Ns just here, so if you want to ramble, please return. If not, just go directly to your chosen fix site. If you want me to post anywhere else (except twilighted & fanfiction.net) please tell me and I'll sign up, or please ask the admins there to let me sign up and post.
- Formspring didn't work well, but I'm more than happy to keep answering curious questions. Which I will do here now, and with each subsequent chapter notes. Just leave them in your review, or PM me, or email me, or even reply to this post, and I'll try to answer them next time! I won't post your name or nickname, so ask away. The only thing I won't answer are plot relevant questions that entail too much foreshadowing, and anything that's meant to be offensive.

A/N for chapter 12:
Thank you all for your warm welcome, it's awesome to be back, and I'm sorry it took me so long to post again. But I have a very good reason, several even, one of which was my brief stay in London (which was awesome! Marks & Spencer BLT for the win!); another is that my best friend is pregnant, and requires insane amounts of time from the still stunned godmother-to-be - which kind of conflicts with my smut peddling schedule! I'm sure you'll all understand!

Also thank you everyone who wrote me an email or review, I've been shamefully lazy and didn't reply to even half of them - but I read them, several times, and I love them, and they totally made my day. I'll try to do better next time!!

Kinky Q&A:
(from someone commenting on the formspring link post I deleted a while ago, so I have to wing it a little, but it went like this)

Q: You let Edward explain that he's using several BDSM and bondage sites online for his scene ideas. How do real Doms do that?

A: First off, I'm trying hard to portray Edward as close to reality as I can. Doms are just people, even though you probably shouldn't say that to their face - and like everyone else their minds work in very different ways. Some don't use anything but their imagination and memory; some do research in books, forums, other sites on the net; still others let their subs script the scenes for them, making that task part of the sub's obligations. Any and all variations of that are valid, as are the hundreds I forgot to mention or didn't think about.

Some Doms work with a real script, or one in their head, while others just start at one point and see where everything leads up to. Scenes are an incredibly fluid thing as so much depends on the sub's reaction that you can never fully rely on a set plan. The wonderful thing about writing porn is that you can virtually do everything and it will always work - reality is a long shot from that. It's like what most stories tell about male stamina, and what you're used to at home. Sometimes reality and fiction is close, sometimes very far apart. I try to keep it real, but Murphy's Law is a bitch when it comes to kinky fun.

As for us, I usually come up with the ideas, and once I'm tied up, he runs with them. Works for us.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy reading the chapter!
