I'm judging another flash fic contest! :)

My sweet, adorable bestie has asked me to help out with her blog, so I've been doing that the past few weeks, but this week I'm judging her flash fic contest! Yay! Just so happens my favorite holiday, Halloween, is Thursday, so of course the prompt I've chosen is full of Halloween fun! But don't take my word for it, go check it out! http://madimerekretrowonder.blogspot.com/

Judge Louise

I was the Runner-Up of Sinful Sunday's flashfiction challenge Week 44, and since the Winner, @JamiDeniseO, was a previous winner, I GOT TO BE THE NEXT JUDGE!! Woot woot!

Here's the sexy photo I chose:

Word prompt I chose: Fling

There were 12 incredible entries, and I had a heck of a time selecting the winners. Here's the link to all the action: http://www.rebeccagraceallen.com/sinful-sunday/sinful-sunday-flash-fiction-week-45

Enjoy! ;)

I Won Honorable Mention! OMG! #SinfulSunday #flashfiction

"Three-layer cake"

The Sinful Sunday prompts (above) for Sunday, July 28, 2013

Here's my entry:

“Quiet on set! Go for music! Actors, when you’re ready, we’ll roll cameras,” the director of the adult film ordered before turning away. The heavyset man had been in the business for many years, starting out as an actor in his youth, thus earning respect by all.

The young male actors were models and in a relationship, and trying their hardest to be turned on by the beautiful actress. This wasn’t her first threesome, but usually she felt attracted to both men.

As if on queue, they approached her, watching each other as they pumped their cocks. The one behind her kissed her shoulders slowly and reverently before working his way up her neck and to her soft, plump lips. Making his presence known, the other man kissed her nipples as though they were delicate flowers, eliciting a shiver from the actress.

“What’s your name?” She whispered to the one behind her as she raised her arm and stroked her fingers through his thick, dark hair.

It was unusual to not meet before shooting, but the director wouldn’t have it this time, citing spontaneity was key for the scene.

The young man smirked, then kissed the other man.

“Paul.”

“Jared.”

And it was selected by the judge, @eileengriffin77, as an Honorable Mention! One of two! I'm so excited, happy, ecstatic, SHOCKED! LOL! 

Here's the results for the contest, congratulations to all the winners! :D

Flash Fiction

I have seriously caught the flash fiction bug! Every week, I especially look forward to Thursdays and Sundays.

Over the last couple of months, I've found myself drawn to various sites. Sometimes I like the photo prompt and enter, other times I'll pass. And there are literally hundreds of flash challenges! Some are weekly, while others are monthly. Most are photo prompts, while others are word prompts.

So, I've added a new tab to the blog so all my flash fics are in one place. Enjoy! ;D

B&B Epilogue Teaser

Love of a Lifetime: the Bear and Bella In the Morning Epilogue

Fandom For Oklahoma Teaser:

Tanya was shaking hands with a temp jockey who was filling in until the station hired a permanent Saturday afternoon personality. She looked so right in the studio, and Bella couldn’t believe that she hadn’t thought of her idea before. Excited, she went to the Green Room, walked through, and opened the door to the studio just as Emmett was doing the same.

“Hi!” She greeted and jumped up to hug him.

He hugged her tight, picking her up off the floor and walking into the room. Tanya stepped in, closing the door behind her.

“Did you miss us?” He asked before claiming her lips with his.

She pushed her face hard into his, mushing their lips and noses. He matched her strength, kissing her hard until they had to come up for air.

“Yes. Of course! Seeing Tanya in the studio, though, gave me an idea,” Bella tried to say as she gasped for breath. Emmett held on to her, steadying her.

Tanya went to the refrigerator and grabbed three bottles of water. She opened one and handed it to Bella.

“Thanks, baby,” she whispered and guzzled down the refreshing substance.

Tanya smiled and handed a bottle to Emmett.

“That kiss was something else. I think I saw smoke coming from your lips,” she teased him as he opened his bottle.

The three of them laughed and sat on the new leather sofa. “Wow, this has been redone since I was last here,” Tanya said.

“You know the best thing about Saturdays?” Emmett asked.

The ladies didn’t answer, just looked at each other, trying to figure out what he was getting at.

Emmett got up and walked to each door, locking them in. “No interruptions.” Spying a bottle of maple syrup, he approached his wives, wiggling his eyebrows.

I've finally posted Klarissa's outtake. I know a lot of the other authors that participated in the SU4K posted as soon as it was allowed, but for some reason, it just didn't feel like it was the right time for me. Sadly, Katalina has passed and is dancing in Heaven, so I suppose I feel... I don't know, nostalgic, maybe?, for finally posting it. I miss her encouraging, funny, and ballet posts on facebook; it's been silent since March. RIP, beautiful dancer.

Klarissa's Journey on AO3

Klarissa's Journey on TWCS

Fandom for Oklahoma

It is with heartfelt sympathy and utter determination to help that I pledge to donate to this newest fandom cause.

I have lived in Missouri all my life, which is in Tornado Alley, so I'm very attuned to the weather. I've personally witnessed several tornadoes throughout my life, so I know first hand what the damage is like. This being said, it is some of the most frightening and unreal moments that I have lived through. Each tornado is unique, though they may share similar characteristics. They're unpredictable and extremely dangerous.

Survivors mourn for those lost, clean up, and re-establish their communities. Remember the monstrous EF-5 tornado that obliterated Greensburg, KS May 7, 2007? Or how about the catastrophic EF-5 multi-vortex tornado that struck the southern side of Joplin, MO on May 22, 2011?

As Americans, we have a long history of dealing with tragedy, coping, and moving on. As a fanfic author in the awesome family known as the Twilight fandom, I'm answering the call for help. Within a day, a group on Facebook was formed and a site built in response to those asking, "What can I do?"

Here's the site: Fandom for Oklahoma Donors get to select which organization their dollars can go to: the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, or the ASPCA. Please give a donation by July 7 in order to receive the compilation. Thank you for helping out your fellow humans (and pets).

Special love!

The amazing Quinn Lark wrote a guest review on fic central for B & B! *squee* I was surprised and amazed by her kind words! Here, check it out: Quinn's review on ficcentral

This is the third year for this fandom charity, and I'm very excited to be a part of it! For more information, please visit their blog: http://fandom4lls.blogspot.com/

POSTED: Chapter Six

Chapter Six of B&B is up for your reading pleasure! 

Ch 6 on TWCS

Leah was certainly pleased this chapter! ;)

Shout out to John Ainsworth, to whom I've previously blogged about! Also to Peter Gabriel, Phil Collen of Def Leppard, and the Kansas City Symphony.  :D  Red Line Chemistry was also mentioned in passing. They're a group from KC.  :D

In case you didn't know, or maybe forgot, Bear & Bella In the Morning has a playlist on Spotify. :D Look me up! 

Chapter Five of B&B

Chapter Five's been posted on TWCS, and it's in the queue at Twilighted! I'm on AO3 now. I hadn't been updating over there... bad author! ;) Anyway, there's something special about chapter five, so I hope everyone reads the A/N at the beginning as well as the end. On a personal note, besides the event which lead to the A/N, just yesterday there was a snowstorm that hit pretty hard. I was clearing my sidewalk this morning and the ruler said nine inches. Gah! I don't remember this much snow since I was a kid! *sigh* I used to like snow... Now I say, "Fuck it!" LOL

My love for music...

Happily discovered this guy on Twitter! The way he strums his 12-string... and his voice... this guy is amazing! He definitely blows my mind! Enjoy his first official video!

Introducing a great friend...

Hello, hello! Hope you've been happily reading Bear and Bella In the Morning! Things are getting a bit intense, but have no fear. I'm soooooo anti-angst it's not even funny. I couldn't write it to save my life! I can barely stand to read it. In fact, Wide Awake is definitely the hardest read I've come across, and it was one of the first Twilight fanfics I read. Talk about diving into the fandom head first!

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce a great friend I've recently made. Quinn Skylark. She's a fellow author and mother, and we've just quickly hit it off, you know? You gotta check out her blog, http://quinnskylark.weebly.com/ I love her feisty, journalist Bella in her story, "Caged Skylark." She's also working on an original fic, hoping to be a published author.

Follow her on twitter, too! https://twitter.com/QuinnSkylark 

Happy reading! 

Bear and Bella In the Morning has its own blog

I don't know if I'm going crazy or what, but I made a blog for my dirty-minded morning show host and his sweet, innocent co-host! LOL! Yes, you've read correctly. ;)

Much like how you can read Second Chance on a blog, you can now find Bear and Bella In the Morning. :D Here's the link: http://bearandbella.weebly.com/

Second chapter posted of Bear & Bella In The Morning!

As soon as Second Chance was completed (as far as Project Team Beta was concerned), I immediately sent them the long-awaited second chapter of Bear & Bella! I think I was anxious! ;) Anyway, it's posted at TWCS and AO3 now.  :)

Chapter 2 of Bear & Bella on TWCS

Chapter 2 of Bear & Bella on AO3

I'm waiting for validation on Twilighted, so we'll see if it's deemed worthy.

No, I will NOT be posting this on FFN. I don't feel I should edit my work for twelve year olds who shouldn't be reading my fic to begin with! It's rated NC-17 for a reason! Get a more secure site, FFN!

Second Chance - Completed!

With the posting of Chapter Twenty-One, my baby is officially complete! Tears of joy and tears of nervousness rain down. I can't put off posting it any longer. It's such a big moment for me since this is my first fic I ever wrote. It's been rewritten a couple of times, so this is over two years in the making. It's okay for me to feel this way, right? Perfectly normal... 

Second Chance is "Complete"???

Will I ever be done tinkering with my very first fanfic ever written? Knowing me, probably not. LOL! But for now, well, within a week I estimate, I will mark it as "Complete." To be honest, I'm nervous and sad about it. But also glad because other plot lines for new stories have intruded my brain. Not to mention I'm eager to finish up Bear & Bella, which was just accepted by PTB. So they have Chapter 2!

Here's to a very bright New Year!

xoxo
