THTF on The Lemonade Stand

Just found out that THTF is up on this week's poll at The Lemonade Stand. Please go vote!!

The Beginning of the End

It's the beginning of the end for THTF. More crossed wires plague our couple as they try to figure out how to be a couple, without either being open and up front. Will they succeed?

My contribution to the Fandom for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has been sent in. Many, many thanks to An Illicit Writer for the fantabulous banner. A $5 donation gets you the first chapter of my new fic, Stroke of Luck, as well as contributions from many wonderful fandom authors.

 

Bella: smart, strong and successful. Edward: intelligent, intense, and independent. Both have what they need; neither has what they want. Can a fortuitous reunion help them get it? "Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck." -Dalai Lama

I'm contributing a piece to The Fandom for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society charitable cause. The contribution is Chapter 1 of the fic I will be posting once The Harder they Fall is complete. I hope you'll consider donating to this worthy cause. Please, let me know if you enjoy my contribution.

PS - this in no way effects my writing for THTF! Promise!!

The delay

Hello there. Long time no chat. I'm getting a bunch of new reviews and wish to thank whoever is pimping THTF. I cannot express my sadness over the fact that the story hasn't updated.

Just a little about my life in the last year. I went from a full time stay-at-home mom to a full time employee who's taking two classes per semester at a local university. At the same time, my husband started college while working full time as well. My older son started high school, my younger son is finishing elementary school. Both my kids are active in sports and extra-curriculars that keep us hopping.

Ultimately, however, it is the 40-hours a week I'm working that used to be dedicated to writing, researching, editing, and so on that has put the breaks on the story.

THTF is not dead. It will be finished. I do work on it when I have time. Even worse, I have plot bunnies that bang on my brain and demand attention.  I've written a few one shots (Succubus and DART) for various causes and events which have been posted. I've written a series of drabbles I'm afraid to post because I know people will be pissed that I've written those and not THTF.  I also have five chapters of another story written.  (THAT story will never post as a WiP, I will never post a WiP again. Anything I post from now on will be complete before the first word goes public.)

So, I beg your forbearance and ask for your forgiveness. I understand that THTF has lost most of its audience due to the delay. I just hope that those that find it in the future will be able to enjoy the whole story as it will be finished.

My one shot, Succubus, has been posted on Southern Fanfiction Review.  I hope you'll stop by and take a look.  I'll be posting the story on my ffnet profile on Halloween.
