Awards Season

Apparently, it's awards season 'round the twific community. In a matter of a few days I was made aware that both Masen Days and Take What You Want are up for some awards. Woohoo! So fun.

Masen Days
Masen, himself, is up for the award of Best Edward on the Eclipse Awards. And holy cow, what an honor that is. I know that my favorite Edwards are very special to me, so thanks to those you who nominated him. You can click on the link if you so choose to vote for him. There are some other amazing authors up for awards as well, including Abstract Way, Rochelle Allison, Sweet Lolapop, etc, so spread your votes around. Voting is open until May 19, but you should vote today!



This manip was made by mysty1234, and I've asked her for her permission to claim it as Masen on my blog because . . . hello! It's Masen. She was thrilled, so yay! A Special thanks to jadapattinson for pointing it out to me.

In honor of this nomination I am attempting to write a Masen Days outtake. I hope to have it ready to post on Monday. I started today and hope to finish soon. I'm fic'ing this pic . . .



Take What You Want
Take What you Want is currently up for two awards from two different sites. Dirtyflirtward's Bella is up for Best Bella in the Eclipse Awards. Again, voting ends May 19th. And Take What You Want on the whole is up for the Joke Book Award (For the best humor story which has you crying with laughter.) on  The iSparkle Awards. Click on the link to vote, and do so by May 11th. There are loads of other categories boasting great authors and stories that need your vote as well.

This gif is posted for three reasons: 1. It makes me think of Dirtyflirtward and his Bella. 2. I'm totally addicted to Friday Night Lights right now (Go Riggins! Go Landry! He's my fave!). 3. I'm currently working on a one-shot for Jadapattinson's Fic This Gif contest. It is anonymous, so, no, I cannot tell you which gif I used. Sorry. But I can tell you there are so many fun gifs that have inspired me. There are also many that make me want to wash my hands. Oh dear. View this site with caution. That is all.



And now some ridiculous pics that remind me of the stupidity that is Dirtyflirtward and Bella's relationship. Enjoy!

For the Love of Dirtyflirtward

There's been a lot of love for Take What You Want lately. Yay! Here's a bit of it . . .

Remember when Bella makes a big gesture? Yeah, someone turned it into a picture and submitted it to @twifictrivia. I know! It was Question #2 on April 17th.Woot!




Take What You Want was reviewd by @credoroza on The Luv Nv.
Here's a small peek at what she wrote:

"Take What You Want" is an amazingly funny and romantic story. This is an Edward like no other. Dirtyflirtward. I mean who writes an Edward like that? Edward is utterly perfect. Purelyamuse definitely had other ideas. Her Edward is crass, obnoxious, flirty, dirty, and smelly. Literally! And you will love him instantly.

Take What You Want was reviewed on The Fictionators by Pink Knits Indeed and Songster. 

This is what Songster had to say: 

I loved reading Take What You Want for many reasons. The teenage voices thatpurelyamuse created were wonderful, very real, flipping back and forth between deathly serious stuff to total silliness. This Edward is one of the most unusual that I’ve read and I’ve read a loooottt of them. He is a dirty, stinky, real life teenage boy and a curious cross between impossibly cocky to sweetly vulnerable.

Thanks for the lovely reviews and for bringing these characters to the masses. There are masses out there, right? 

Take What You Want Tidbits Chapter 22

Chapter 22: You Can't Please Everyone

 Excerpt . . .

While he buys his stuff, I chew on my fingernails and try to wait patiently, but what I really want to do is grab his cute butt in the middle of the store. I grasp his hand when he’s done, and he swings it between us as we walk toward the van. He’s acting sweet, but I’m wound tight, ready to jump him. This isn’t gonna work. Damn hormones. I think.

He hits the key fob, and I slide open the back door.

I grab his belt loops and tug him forward. “You sort of want me in every way, don’t you?” I ask, feeling brave and desired.

“You have no idea,” he says, leaning in and pressing his lips to mine in a slow-going kiss that builds and builds ‘til I’m clinging to his shoulders and pressing myself against him. I want to get in this van. Like five minutes ago.

“No idea,” he says again, his strong hands splayed on my lower back. I’m just itching for him to go lower, for him to touch me anywhere he hasn’t before. I press up on my tip toes, causing his hands to slide down.

I arch into him and tilt my head back, giving him access to my neck. I love the feel of his mouth there. And the fact that he’s trembling slightly. He flexes his hands, his fingers right at the top of my butt. “You can, you know,” I say quietly.

Take What You Want Tidbits Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Flicker

Excerpt . . .

We pull up to Garrett’s house, and the bass of the music playing inside reverberates through Esme’s van.

“You ready to shake your bon bon?”

“Let’s go shake it.”

I slide my hand into his as we walk over the threshold and into the house. Edward’s lopsided grin makes me so happy. Why didn’t I do this earlier?

“Edward, hi!” Kate says, slinking toward us.

“Um, no,” I say to her, pulling him away from the girl, although I can’t stop him from waving goodbye to her. He gives her a silly pout, and I whack him on the shoulder.

“You’re cute jealous,” he says, tugging on my hair.

“That’s right. Watch out, bitches, Bella’s here.”

The song changes into another, and Edward hops up and down, belting out the lyrics. He’s so hyper. Maybe a side effect of his pain killers – or not. “Come dance,” he yells.

I nod, and we weave through the crowd of bopping heads and loud laughter. Jasper and Alice are here already, waving from the kitchen. Emmett and Rose might be here, but who knows if they’re over their spat. Doesn’t sound like it.

Edward pulls me to him once we’re in the living room where a small crowd is dancing. He sways his hips with mine, his hands on my waist, a smile adorning his gorgeous face. We finish out the song, and a new one begins with a hard hitting beat. Edward starts doing his own version of a white boy’s krump while I cheer him on, laughing. Only problem is, the other girls cheer him on too, and one that I’ve never seen before gets up in his grill and tries to bump and grind with him.

I don’t think so.

Jadapattinson asks me to fic this pic eons ago. Well, I just did! 

Dirtyflirtward krumps to this song. Try not to hurt yourself while giggling!
