Some quotes courtesy Self Magazine!……..

Is all the tabloid attention you’re getting affecting you?

I’m newly initiated into the followed-by-paparazzi crowd, and I’ve had to stop caring what people I don’t know and will never meet think about me. If I did, I’d never leave my house! It’s like, OK, I’m sorry that at 6 a.m. when I walk my dog, I don’t look ready to hit the red carpet. That’s me! I don’t always dry my hair if I’m not going out. Ooh. And, yes, I wear a helmet when I ride my bike. Seriously, I was made fun of for wearing a bicycle helmet. I was like, OK, that would be a really stupid reason to die. At that point, I was done.

You kept your relationship a secret for the first 10 months. Why?

We had a job to do—you don’t want to bring personal stuff to work. I’m of the opinion that if it’s nobody’s problem, it’s nobody’s business. But who knows who knew what and when? Clearly, Alan Ball, the show’s creator, cast us because we had chemistry!

Was there a part of you that worried it would get complicated?

Obviously, there’s no guarantee that it won’t be complicated, but it’s not like we went into it completely blind. Ultimately, you have to do what’s right for you. You can’t choose who you fall in love with, as inconvenient as that may be. Being in a relationship with someone who is also in the public eye and on the same show—that interests people. There’s almost an obsession now with “celebrity couplings.” It’s a luxury to get to go to work with the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, because I love my job and I’m really happy.

The tabloids made it sound as if your coming out was a huge surprise to everyone.

Not to anyone who knows me! I’m a very private person, but everyone who is in my life who matters to me always knows what’s going on. I understand why it’s a big deal to some people, but to me, it’s not. I’ve probably always known I was bisexual. I’m really lucky; I grew up in an open-minded, supportive family, so my sexuality was never stigmatized or scary or out of bounds. I’m comfortable with who I am, and it’s not an issue.

What’s your diet like?

I’m really careful about what I eat. It’s not like this [body] is an accident. It’s the what-you-would-eat-if you- were-being-photographed-in-a-bikini-tomorrow diet. I don’t want to be one of those actresses who says, “I eat cheeseburgers all the time.” I don’t! I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. I never eat fast food. I’m getting better at taking care of myself without depriving myself, though. Dessert once a week won’t kill me.

Do you feel more sure of yourself as a result of playing Sookie?

Yeah. If I had let the oh-God-my-body-is-going-to-be-on-display-all-the-time part of it mess with my head, it would’ve killed True Blood’s chance of being something that made me really happy. Oddly, I find the nude scenes to be a lot less stressful than just constantly being very skimpily clad. I’m quite comfortable with being naked, but spending 18 hours a day wearing little tank tops that could fit a 2-year-old and shorts that barely cover my bum? For me, that was an adjustment. That said, I never think about it now.

When you and Stephen started dating, you tried to keep your relationship a secret for the first 10 months. Why?

We had a job to do—you don’t want to bring personal stuff to work. I’m of the opinion that if it’s nobody’s problem, it’s nobody’s business. But who knows who knew what and when? Clearly, Alan Ball, the show’s creator, cast us because we had chemistry!

What is it like kissing a vampire?

Sharp. Dangerous.

So the fangs never go home with you?

Those things are actually really expensive and quite fragile! They are not toys.

Why is America so obsessed with vampires?

I’m going to go with: They’re sexy, dangerous and good-looking, and they generally seem to be having more fun.

Have you ever seen Twilight ?

I’ve never seen any of the movies, so I have very few thoughts about them. But I’m sure if I were a teenager, I’d love it! It’s all about age-appropriate entertainment. Chastity is appropriate for younger crowds. As a kid, you don’t need to see us on True Bloodsucking and screwing all the time.

Speaking of sucking, you’ve had to drink vampire blood quite a few times on the show. Do you enjoy those messy scenes?

I get a kick out of it, but the actual blood makes me want to gag! It’s some kind of sweet corn syrup, I think, with an aftertaste that’s less than pleasant after the 10th take. In season one, they asked me if I wanted sugar or sugar-free. I was, like, “Sugar-free blood? Sounds great!” Big mistake. Because then it only tastes like the latex tubes it’s coming through.

So you asked for the sweet stuff?

By the next scene! I was feeding ravenously from Bill’s arm, so I drank probably a gallon. Never again.

Sookie’s blonde and tan. Big change for you?

Naturally I’m almost transparent! Spray tanning, with the right person doing it, is amazing. All the color, none of the cancer! And my experience has been—as annoying as it sounds—it’s true that people stare at blonde girls more than quasi-famous brunettes.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY PRESENTS THE SUMMER’S BEST TV

STEPHEN MOYER, ANNA PAQUIN, AND ALEXANDER SKARSGARD OF TRUE BLOOD DISCUSS SEX, DANGER, AND VIOLENCE IN SEASON 3

New York – Season three of HBO’s gothic drama promises sex, danger, violence, scary werewolves, and even scarier new vampires.  One of the most buzzed-about series since The Sopranos is premiering on June 13 to some hungry fans.  Last summer, the show really began to boil, registering with both critics and audiences: At 4.3 million viewers an episode, it doubled its season 1 ratings. “It was a breakthrough season in terms of feeling like it became part of pop culture,” says Michael Lombardo, HBO’s head of programming. “It was the sort of show I started hearing people talk about on Mondays.”

And like that other big pop-culture-dominating vampire saga (Twilight), it’s transformed the cast into bona fide celebrities. “It’s quite surreal that people want to take a picture of me buying milk,” says Alexander Skarsgard, who plays Sookie’s (Anna Paquin) frenemy Eric Northam. “I don’t really get it.”…………….

Note To Alex: Not all of us want pics of you buying milk…. unless it’s a scene from Straw Dogs or some other fantastic gig you get. Yes I know it’s almost hard to believe not all your fans are fanatically crazy!

Signed your sane fans you prefer quality over quantity

I know I’m a HUGE slacker!

I have been off living in the real world and completely ignoring my blogging responsibilities! It’s honestly unintentional, it’s just the Plumber is so cute! And he was on vacation and was taking me out and snuggling with me. Then there was that FREE Jake Owen concert at City Place in West Palm. Have you seen this man? Have you heard him sing? Trust me you would have totally blown of blogging too!

But here I am on a late Saturday morning throwing together the BBB news and pimps. We have a a few things we want to make sure you all are aware of in the fandom. Also please feel free to leave more news and info in the comments. I am flying by the seat of my lonely pants on this one I am sure I will miss something.

First important things you should know:

Simba is in Japan, she is crazy busy and will try and keep in touch via me and occasional blog postings, including her DITF review, when she can. I am so proud and so happy for my partner. She wanted this so badly and I know she will not take this opportunity to visit and study in Japan lightly! Love you my little Lion Queen!

Scoobs will continue the book recaps in between being all things to all people …. Mom, Wife, Daughter, Friend, and my super awesome beta! She probably has more titles I don’t even know about, she never stops doing stuff. She exhausts me!

Ok, so for Lil, yeah that’s me… I am trying to commit to a weekly poll and other fun stuff for the last few weeks before True Blood starts. It’s the end of the school year here in South Florida and it’s going to be one hell of a month. I will also be working like a dog at my job and for my wonderful extremely hot talented husband who is starting his own company. I’m going to do my own TB epi recaps this season and let me warn you now, I’m not Simba, I could never do what she does and we also don’t agree on everything when it comes to True Blood. I know crazy right?! Everyone including us thought we shared a brain! (more like I leached off her abnormally large one).

A Q & A With TXONE

How long have you been reading and writing FF?

I started reading FF in October of 2008. Let Love In by Terri Botta was the first story I read. It was so compelling and new that I was immediately hooked on everything FF.

I started writing my first story in January 2009.

What inspired you to try your hand at FF?

I was inspired by the creative freedom that FF provides. You can have fun and take your favorite characters on new adventures. There are no limits when it comes to fan fiction.

How many stories have you penned?

At the moment, I have 14 stories posted on FF. I have a few more in the works.

If there was a website where you could publish original short stories would you do it?

I would definitely consider it.

Like to share any teasers? Hmm? Hmm?

Hmm…I’m not sure when this interview is going to post, so I don’t know what to tease. My next multi-chapter story that I’m currently working on is titled ‘His Promise’. So…here’s a peek at the first chapter of it.

I allowed a few more tears to fall as I traced the name carved into the cold stone with my fingertips. Corporal William Compton, my first love, my only lover, my husband, and father of my precious son. Had it really been a year since he was taken from me, from our four year old son, Billy?

It seemed like it was only yesterday when I opened my door to the CNO and Chaplain. They were compassionate and sympathetic, but nothing could soften the news they delivered. My husband had been fatally wounded by a roadside bomb in the city of Mosul. Bill was one of four casualties that resulted from the explosion. His Sergeant, Eric Northman, who suffered severe injuries, was the sole survivor of the blast.

Bill and Eric were close friends, having completed almost two tours together. I couldn’t imagine the emotional toll Eric, no doubt, would’ve undergone. Bill thought highly of Eric, not only as his superior, but also as a friend. He told me on more than one occasion that if anything happened to him that I should contact Eric.

“Mommy,” a small voice came, pulling me from my memories.

“What sweetie?” I smiled, wiping my eyes.

“Don’t cry, Mommy. Remember, Daddy wants us happy.”

Billy was wise for his age. He was repeating what I’d told him every time he was sad, missing his Daddy. Besides having blond hair like mine, he was the spitting image of his father.

I wrapped my arms around his small body, kissing the top of his head. “You’re right, sweetheart,” I told him as I peered into his large, chocolate brown eyes. “Daddy loves us so much, and he wants us to be happy. And what makes Daddy happy?” I grinned.

He giggled as he spoke, knowing what was coming next. “Smiles and laughs.”

“That’s right,” I replied, tickling him until he was a ball of laughter.

“Stop Mommy, I gotta pee,” he squealed.

“Well, we don’t want that,” I said, giving him one final squeeze. “It’s time to go, honey. Tell Daddy bye.”

“Bye bye, Daddy. I love you,” he said, blowing a kiss to his father’s headstone.

I closed my eyes to keep from crying again as I said a silent goodbye to my husband. “Are you hungry?” I asked my son as we walked back to my mini-van.

He looked at me as if I had two heads. “I want McDonalds.”

It was my turn to give him a look. Of course he wanted McDonald’s. It was his favorite treat. “What do you want to eat from McDonalds?” I asked as I fastened him into his car seat, though I already knew his answer.

“I want chicken nuggets, French fries, chocolate milk, and a boy toy,” he responded, counting each item on his tiny fingers.

We stopped at the McDonald’s in Keithville, and I let Billy play for a while before we finally had to leave. It was an almost two hour drive from the Northwest LA Veteran’s Cemetery in Keithville back to our home in Bon Temps. Sometimes when we visited Bill’s gravesite, we would stop at the mall in Shreveport on our way back home, but not today. Maybe it was due to it being the one year anniversary of his death, but I didn’t feel like being anywhere but home with my son.

Wow! I cannot wait to be an avid fan of that one! Do you have any other plans for new stories you can share?

I always have a notebook filled with story ideas. I’m pretty sure His Promise will be the next story that I post. Then, I also have a collaboration story that I am doing with pixiegiggles. I’m super excited about it!

What inspires you?

My inspiration comes from many places. If I’m writing love and romance or sex, obviously, I think of my husband. When it comes to angst, I have a few places that I can draw inspiration from, but it isn’t my favorite thing to write.

What made you decide to enter the Cowboy Up! contest?

I entered the contest as a challenge to myself. I had a story idea in mind before the contest came about, so, I adjusted the plot to make it cowboycentric. It was heavy angst and that was the area that I wanted to push myself to see if I could achieve my goal.

Did you enjoy brining Cowboy Eric to life?

Oh, most definitely! I love anything to do with Eric Northman. He could be in leather, animal skins, or wranglers and I’d still love him and enjoy writing him. But, I do prefer him naked…LOL!

Do you like writing OC or AH better?

As a writer, I enjoy writing all human stories because it gives me so many new options and story lines. Of course I love writing OC also, hence all of the smut. As a reader, I enjoy everything.

As a writer what do you prefer writing Angst or Fluff?

Can my answer be smutty fluff?

Your answer can totally be smutty fluff! As a reader what do you prefer to read Angst or Fluff?

I enjoy reading angst more than writing it, but I love the fluffy stuff too.

What was your favorite scene in the SVM series? Ok, top 5!

Hmm, I would love to say that the shower scene is my fav, but I can’t. My favorite scene is after Sookie gets staked and she trusts Eric enough to relinquish her will and let him glamour her. That was a huge event for them as a couple, I think more so than them having sex.

What was your favorite episode of TB and why?

Hands down, it was the rooftop scene with Eric and Godric. That absolutely ripped my heart to pieces.

I just want to thank txone for sitting down and answering these questions twice. You have been a good sport considering all of my probing…….

A Fresh Start

Branded Heart

Editor’s Note: I consider myself an addicted reader of FF. I suggest to new readers of FF to start from an author’s first story. Why? It’s exciting to see how a writer changes styles over time. And to be honest it is a learning experience to watch a writer grow on the page. I don’t think any writer will disagree with me when I say there is always room for improvement. At least for FF writers who are trying to strengthen their skills and learn how to touch readers we always are hungry to learn. For some FF authors it’s just a hobby but for some it is a stepping stone. Either way there are some damn good writers in FF.

Fan Fic Writers Talk About txone

A LindsayK Review of All Their Love:

What I love about this story isn’t so much the smut, which is very, very… well, if you read it you know exactly what I mean *fans self*.  No, what I love is that when I first read that she would be doing a threesome story with Eric, Sookie, and Alcide I was skeptical.  I had no idea how someone would pull off Eric sharing Sookie with anyone, let alone him being into men too.  Slash has never bugged me one bit, unless it’s something like Snape/Harry, lol, so I decided to give it a try.  Txone has never disappointed me, and she certainly didn’t with this one.

She eases you into in the first chapter with some good old-fashioned ESN, and followed that up with our first taste of Eric and Alcide, and with one read of that chapter you will be wishing you had a ice cold pool to take a dip in.  Txone manages to keep everything in Eric that we love about him.  He’s sexy, he’s fun, he’s still manly as hell, he just happens to also be attracted to men, and doesn’t that also fit with Eric?  I mean, vampires have a very fluid sexuality, after all

After that fuckhot chapter, we move along to the courtship of Sookie by Eric and Alcide both, and eff me am I ever jealous of that woman. I’ve got a big heart-on for Alcide to begin with, and we’re all head over heels for Eric, so the idea of Sookie having both of those men wanting her and everyone being okay with it is just a panty-flamer.

Back to my original point: What I love the most is not only that txone did what I thought was impossible, but she did it so well and with depth.  This isn’t just a smut story.  She’s showing what I believe so strongly; that all of us deserve love, gay, straight, or bi.  I love that these two men love each other so strongly, and are opening their hearts to love another.  I love that Sookie is so accepting of Eric and Alcide’s relationship, and that she happily joins them as an equal part of it.

Ultimately, it’s all in the title.  It’s all about love.

A Red Thing Reviews The Executive:

When I was first getting into fan fiction I didn’t have too many stories that I knew of to read. I kept seeing people mention The Executive, and so I got curious and opened it. Well, let’s just say that I spent the next day and a half getting completely caught up on it. I was engrossed from the very start.  I immediately liked Sookie, which isn’t something I can always say about stories. She was tough, she was poised, and yet she was flawed. It made her endearing and relatable.  We also got to meet Eric Northman businessman. What can I say? He oozed sexy from the start. However, we got to see an interesting and different Eric. He is vulnerable, he’s been hurt, but he doesn’t let it keep him down. He found something he liked and eventually loved in Sookie and he didn’t stop pursuing it.

What I love about this story is what Sookie and Eric brought out in each other. He helped her to put forth her strong side, embrace her independence and enjoy her sexuality. She helped him to overcome the hurt he faced in his past and showed him it was alright to fall in love again. Plus it was just damn sexy. Txone writes sex like it’s never been done before. It’s hot and steamy and yet loving and tender all at the same time. It’s amazing.

What she did here was to create a version of Sookie and Eric that were easy to love. They were different enough to make them unique, yet they both maintained the qualities that made them the characters we love so much.  It was easy to root for them and hope for the best. If ever I am feeling down I go back and I read this and it lifts my mood immediately. I can look to Sookie to show me that it’s ok to be tough and I can always count on Eric to make my panties melt.  Txone is truly the Executive when it comes to great fan fiction.

TVGirl.Nicole talks about her fav txone works:

Txone has consistently broadened my horizons when it comes to reading fanfiction.

When I first started reading SVM fanfic I had no interest in anything all-human, preferring to stick to pieces more in-line the the original SVM books. Then, browsing through the SVM communities I came across the Cowboy Up contest. Txone roped me into the AH world of the Sookieverse with “Branded Heart.” I remember PMing her right away, with tears still fresh on my face, telling her that she had changed my reading habits in one fell swoop. Txone went on to win the contest with that fic.

When the Support Stacie Auction came around I grabbed my checkbook and bid on txone… the result was “To Keep You Safe.”  I told txone that I just couldn’t stand Bill and she should feel free to just knock him off – I was bitter that at the end of “Dead and Gone” he remained living, so to speak, while my favorite fairy Claudine had gone to the Summerlands. She complied, yet managed to soften my views of Bill at the same time.

When it comes to original characters, txone delivers on that front as well.  Again, I had read some fics where authors heavily featured their own OCs and found myself annoyed usually that the focus wasn’t more on our SVM “gang.” Then I met Jayla in “A Fresh Start.” Enough said.

Most recently, I’m reading “All Their Love.”  Now, I don’t generally care much for slash, particularly when it involves our favorite Viking Eric Northman. But everyone on Twitter was all, well, atwitter, about this fic, so I gave it a shot… and once again found myself enjoying a fic I didn’t think I’d have any interest in at all to begin with.

Finally, do I really need to say anything when it comes to “The Executive?”  It has over 2,500 reviews – I think that speaks for itself.

So, I salute you, txone, for entertaining me out of my comfort zone, making me laugh, making me cry, and making me change my panties frequently.

Viking Battle Cry!!!

Pixiegiggles takes on The Executive:

The queen of ESN herself? Well, where do I even start?

I guess The Executive is a good place. It does hold a very special place in my li’l fangirl heart. (and not just because I’m lucky enough to get a sneak peek of it as one of its betas, I swear ;D) It’s actually the very first AH that I ventured into—and it certainly did not disappoint.

How do you spell UNF? Well, I’m glad you asked. In my opinion, it’s gotta start at the poolside … with the lotion . I mean, guh! That’s got to be the hottest non-sex lemon scene I’ve ever read in fanfic! I can’t decide if I’d rather be Sookie … or the lotion. Tehehe!

And, it just gets better from there. (Can you say dirty laundry smexin’? THUD. CUBED.) But, what’s even better, is how brilliantly she carries us through all the twists and bends on the way to happily ever after.   We are beyond lucky to have such a talented writer in our fandom J

Auction Rules and Bidding Info

When I was asked why I was offering myself up for sale for the Support Stacie Vampire Auction I thought about my answer for about three seconds…..

What Stacie and her family have been dealing with has touched my heart and I wanted to to do what I could to help. I have friends and family who have been directly affected by cancer and lack of insurance. More often than not people go without proper care until it is to late to avoid going into debt. Seeing it happen over and over again has spurred me into action. First step? Stacie’s bills… next step making sure our children never have to face the same issue.

I bugged a few of my fellow writers to sit down and talk with me a little about what made them choose to offer up their skills for the auction. So without further ramblings from me……

BBB: youbettago, my love, my light! Can you share why you decided to offer of a collaboration with Kyss Ericsson aka Lil?

YBG: Freakin’ awesome! I can’t wait to collab w/Lil to write a steamy Swexy Fic for the winner! It could be anyone of us in Stacies’s place. Let’s all band together to help her out!

BBB: Rumor has it you both have decided to offer slash as an option for your fic, SVM slash? This could get very interesting indeed! Thanks for your time YBG! Oh and hot off the presses! Meads has a little surprise for YBG!

BBB:Suki59! Thanks so much for talking to me about your decision to place yourself up on the auction block!

Suki: I’m a hopeless Eric addict and writer of Southern Vampire Mysteries
fanfiction.  Those of you who know me have most likely suspected for some time
that I could easily be bought and you were right!

BBB: LOL

Suki: I am very excited at the prospect of helping to raise money for our fellow
fanfic writer, Stacie, who needs our support.

BBB: Here’s your chance to pimp yourself Suk! You have 30 seconds!

Suki:Please go to my profile (Suki59 FF.net Profile) and
check out any or all of the thirty-three stories I’ve written about our
favorite Viking.   Clearly, I can’t seem to shut up about the man and now
you have a chance to tell me exactly what you want to read about him.  Want a
human Eric?  Not a problem.  Vampire?  Okey-dokey.  Like your fics angsty?
Fluffy?  Funny?  Sad?  Name your desires and I’ll be your faithful servant.
I’ll happily do the bidding of the highest bidder, and deliver your favorite
blond Sookie-magnet right into your lap!  Happy bidding, my lovelies!  Eric
and I will be waiting for you at the end of the auction.

BBB: And TIME! Thanks Suki for taking time out of your evening to pimp the auction and your offer!

Suki's Auction Offer

BBB: My next guest is Zigster. Zigster is pulling double duty for the auction. She is not only offering up a story she is also donating her artistic talents! Zigs is part of my Team Vampire, but I digress, more on that later. Zigs stop looking so nervous….stop biting your nails!

Zigs: *stares at an annoyed Lil*

BBB: Ok, no passing out, it’s just a little blurb, no cameras…promise.

Zigs: *nods*… Okay, it’s official. I’ve been labeled many types of h00rs in the past — review h00r. slash h00r — but now I am actually a full on, grade A, legit ho! Yes. I’m selling myself… err.. my words, for charity. In this case, I’m gladly offering my time, fingers and keyboard to help the Support Stacie Auction raise money for cancer [Stacie].

BBB: *nods encouragingly*

Zigs: I view this fabulous idea for an auction as a win/win. We all get to pitch in to help raise money for a good cause, and  the winning bidders get some fantastic new fiction on top of it. How could anyone deny the awesomeness of that?

BBB: Not me!

Zigs: So, if y’all feel so inclined, please stop by the forum and register to bid. If you’re jonesing for some more Hellcat or Northman’s, you’re in luck, cause that’s exactly what I’m offering.

Zigs: oh, and then banner. …..*beams* ciao bb

Now onto another auction development. After some begging, pleading, and flashing I was able to obtain the artistic talents of Meads, Zigster, and sawyersmine/ECB to make story banners as bidding incentives! Ok, I didn’t have to beg and I would have flashed them but it never came to that. Why? Because these women are amazing and wonderful and have huge hearts! So if you are bidding and your author has chosen to use a story banner as an incentive you will have the opportunity to have the chance to work with the author and artist to develop the perfect banner for your personal SVM or TB story!

BBB: So ECB what made you decide to offer up your mad skills?

ECB: I know people who have had cancer and I beleive it’s something we need to find a cure for, it’s a terrible disease and I’m just happy to be able to contribute to this event for Stacie. Plus, being mad is so much more fun when you can do it charity.

BBB: Do you think next time you will offer up your deliciously angsty writing skills? *gives flirty smirk*

ECB: um possibly, but im better at the art

BBB: *stares blankly @ ECB*

BBB: Dude? WTF? You are the author of I Need Your Love Tonight, it’s fuckawesome.

ECB:lol, I’m so not good at interviews….. I’ll just say perhaps

BBB: Ok, good enough! For now! Thanks for your time ECB!

And a sample of ECB’s work…. she whipped this up for me after Simba and I debated over Rebel E or Angsty E. Rebel E feelin’ the angst won out!

Tonight I was able to chill with my other partner in crime for the auction. When I made the call to arms for SVM and TB writers smfogleman was one of the first to contact me. SMF is going to venture into a SVM/Twi crossover with me. I know I am excited but I wanted to know how SMF felt…

BBB: SMF, what was your motivation to offer to partner up with Lil for a special SVM/TWI fic?

SMF:I wanted to help out but was 1) afraid to do it on my own the first time and 2) I don’t think I’m popular enough to get any bids. Lil asked for a partner so it seemed like a win for everyone involved.

BBB: I read the auction offer and I heard you will take the Twi side of the story. Have you ever written Twific before?

SMF: Nope, which is weird since I’ve read the Twilight series more often than I’ve read SVM. But I got started on FanFiction because of looking for SVM stories, so yeah. I will hopefully be writing a Twific for the FML Contest….. as soon as I figure out what to write for my prompt. LOL

BBB: Nice.  One last question, how do you feel about having a partner in writing a story? And do you think Kyss will go all diva on ya?

LOL I’ve never had a partner for a story before so I’m actually looking forward to it. I’m not worried about Kyss going all diva on me, just worried she’ll go all angsty on me. I hate extreme angst so I’m a little afraid to even think about the possibility of ever writing it.

BBB: *ignores Evil Lil laugh in background* Oh, um, I am sure she could lay off the angst just this once *coughs nervously*….. Well thanks SFM for your time tonight!

Now to pimp my auction offer! This includes the special offer with smfogleman. I am going to make it real simple, click on the the fekking hot banner Zig’s made for me!

I plan on volunteering but am also looking for a partner for a special auction offer: SVM/Twific Crossover O/S 6000 words, w/ special guest author, we will improv our roles, or we can just partner up because I know NOTHING about the Twi books, just saw the movies…..
