Update on life + New fanfanfiction!

Hi guys, i thought id write an update for you all on my life since its been a while. I have officially finished my college work and now fully qualified in childcare. I left my current jobs (that was taking up way too much of my time) and going to have a lot more free time. I am no longer a nanny or work in a nursery. My new job starts Sunday! im going to Sicily, Italy to be an Au Pair for three months. I am unsure about my free time at the moment but i am positive i will have more than i do now. I will no longer need to set time aside for family or work and can focus on other things such as fanfiction!
I am so excited to be working in the country i have always loved so much (and made sure was in my stories). I am going to the home country of Esther and Pancrazio! I promise my Italian in my stories will get better with me being there haha.
So thats an update on me! hope you are all doing well too.

The other thing i wanted to talk about was a new story ive been reading from ilovetwilight999. Its sort of an alternate universe from mine, butterflywhisperer and truetigress. The main character is Eddie and Chloe's daughter called Mercedes. It takes a bit to get used to the characters but im excited to see where it goes.

Ive added a new tab on my blog, i had a lot of people ask me about the immortal humans and since im going to introduce a new species soon in one of my stories i decided to make an immortals tab to explain both species.

Ive also had some fanart:

I'll Always Remember You (A Chantelle and Zio FanFiction by Kp23129) + Fanart

Kp23129 has published a new story based on Chantelle and Zio in Forever After. It focuses on them remembering and finding Matthew.

Please do not send her hate telling her she stole the idea. She has FULL permission and my blessing to write the story.

Small disclaimer: It is purely 'Fan'FanFiction and it does not correlate to how Chantelle or Zio find out about Matthew in Forever After. It is just for fun and she is none the wiser to their future than any of my other readers. The story has no 'hints' in it to how the rest of Forever After's story line goes and I have no involvement in the story what so ever. It can be enjoyed solely as a side story with my characters.

I also have another piece of wonderful fanart by Enakshi! Thank you.
Lexi and Beth Cullen

EDIT: Changed the update day for Forever After to tomorrow... I'm having trouble deciding which chapter to upload. There is two directions for it to go and I have both written out but I dont want to edit both. I need another day to think about which one I want to use. Sorry about that.

An update on various things.

Firstly I just want to say that I have changed the extras tab a little... the extras have been moved to their own pages and links have been listed for each story. I felt the way it was offered too many spoilers some might not want to read so now the extras have been separated into stories and the oldest has been listed first (i.e. chronological order to the story) so you don't have to scroll through newer extras to read the one you want.

All tabs and stories have been given a new banner, all of them were made by Beth, who is amazing at photoshop so thank you Beth!

There has been some new fanart put into the fanart tab.

By Enakshi
The FanFiction Doppelgangers

By Beth
Esther

There is also a new FanFiction of my stories up! It was written by JamieDodger and it involves Esther and her daughters meeting Benjamin and his daughters from TrueTigress' FanFictions, so if she's a favourite of anyones make sure you read that fun little crossover. I gave her complete permission but please be aware it is NOT canon in my stories and I do not have an influence on the writer what so ever. They are her versions of my characters and I am not involved. I am simply a reader like yourselves :)
Read it here

Finally, Living in Paradise should be updated on the 3rd and Forever After on the 7th :)

~Nikki

Edit: LiP will be up tomorrow instead. Ive been bombarded with college work and ive also had double ear infections and since i wanted to change something in the chapter it will have to wait another day. Sorry guys :(

Lauren Green

I've had a few people asking me recently who I saw as Lauren (Chantelle's birth mother)

Teasers + FanArt

I've just written the first chapter ever in Avia's pov. I was talking about it on Twitter when Beth asked me if she can make a teaser poster for it. This is what she made, I gave her the quote to use.
Its amazing! (click to make it bigger)

Chapter 39 is all about Sarah then its Avia's chapter.
~Nikki

EDIT: More fanart this time by Samy! Thank you so much.

Anthony Black and Anelie Balev

Avia and Chloe Cullen

Jason Uley and Holly Cullen (This is a teaser for their upcoming chapter, the quote is from Chapter 43)

If you have any fanart to send me you can do so by emailing or using twitter, i put all the art i receive on my blog.

Grown up Avia + More FanArt

So it dawned on me that Avia is going to be 10 years old pretty soon in Forever After, which means she is now fully grown and no longer a child, i feel like Chloe right now haha, i refuse to believe shes so grown up, its quite sad for me, her and Isobel have always been little kids in my head but Avia will be turning 10 on the 24th March 2035 and since the chapter im updating today is set in January 2035 its really not long now. On the plus side we can welcome new babies to the story, Ashton and Phoebe (William and Sophias twins) in March :)
I had to go on a search for the perfect Avia, i honestly think it was so hard for me because i couldnt let go of her as a child but i finally found someone that i thought was a good fit... After some suggestions on twitter from a few readers I decided that Shailene Woodley is Avia grown up (Huge thank you to MissRenesmeeCarlie for the suggestion)


Avia Chantelle Cullen

I also got a another piece of FanArt that has been updated in the tab above!
Thank you Kate (sibuna82twihard) :)

Lauren Black and Nick Clearwater

 

Just in time for me to update a Lauren chapter :)
