Forever After PREVIEW

I thought since I haven't updated in a while I'd preview an upcoming chapter. It's a memory in chapter 55 however its kind of current time.
It's of Lidiya, Anelie and Esther going to Italy with Connie.
Hopefully it will hold you off until I actually get to update :P

Isobel's Birth (Forever After EXTRA)

So i was looking through my files and found this, after asking a few of my readers i found out ive never actually posted this in a chapter. I thought i may as well put it here. So here you go, this is Isobel's birth in 2 pov.
It hasnt been edited, sorry for typos/grammar issues :P

MIA explanation

Okay guys a lot of you have noticed that I haven't updated in a while, I've had floods of messages and I'm really sorry I haven't had time to reply to them. Ive posted it on twitter but I'm aware there are people that check my blog more, and the past week the views have flown super high and I can only imagine people were looking for an explanation.

I have had a lot of real life things to deal with, my boyfriend's mother and half siblings were visiting us from Spain and his mother was in a car crash with my boyfriends daughter and siblings. She was in a coma for a few days afterwards and during them few days her husband practically dumped his three kids (my boyfriends half siblings) on him to look after. He already has his biological sister, daughter and son to take care of so you could imagine him having to deal with a grieving teenage sister and five kids under six. His mum died a few days later and it just got worse. His step father didn't return for the kids for over a week, I tried to help as much as possible where i could because he just couldnt handle all them children by himself. Luckily his step dad is back now and took the kids back to Spain but my boyfriend doesn't think he'll stay there long because he can't handle three children by himself and we might have to make an arrangement with my boyfriends older brother and the step dad to take care of the children.

On top of this I also got a new job, I work in a nursery 11 hours a day and that's on top of the nannying I already do 10 hours a week. I literally had no time what so ever the past few weeks to do anything FF other than the weekend and even then I only had a few hours.

I am severely on the edge of a mental breakdown, I am absolutely exhausted from not sleeping and I am highly susceptible to illnesses right now because of personal reasons and I am already starting to feel ill because of it. I don't want this to sound like I'm complaining or trying for a sympathy vote or anything, I just thought I should owe you all an explanation and get it out in the open since it was mostly revealed on twitter anyway.

I am focusing on Forever After, that chapter should be up soon, Forever Legends might be after the weekend.

Thanks for the support I've been given already. It means so much.
Love you guys.

Important Update

Hi guys, I know I've been kind of MIA the past few days. I've had a LOT of real life issues going on and haven't been home or had time to write for a while. Forever Legends was supposed to be updated the other day but I just couldnt manage it, those that follow me on twitter were aware of what was going on to some extent but for those of you that don't know, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine and healthy, I am just helping out my boyfriend who has family issues right now. I should be back on track this week, I'm going to try my hardest at least but there is something else I need to update on.
I have a new job, a full time job that means I wont be home until after 6pm every day. If anyone has seen my schedule in the FAQ section knows that this is roughly double the amount I work right now. I am going to have barely any time for FanFiction. I am going to try my best to get as much written and possibly finish Forever After before I start this job and then update once a week until it's finished. However Forever Legends is not going to be as easy. It will become my main story after Forever After is finished and I'm not going to be able to finish Semper Fidelis straight after Forever After like I planned.  After Forever After I'm going to have one active story at a time. Right now it's going to be Forever After, Forever Legends, Semper Fidelis, then Edward's New Moon.
I know most of you will understand my situation. Life changes and I have been extremely lucky to have so much time this past year in comparision to most working in my profession.
I will try and let you know like usual when I can update.
I will not leave a story unfinished.

PREVIEW Holly Chapter (52ish) + FA Update

So a lot of people have been asking about Holly and since its still a few chapters off until you hear from her I decided to post a preview, sort of a teaser of her upcoming chapter, it will be after the wedding, although this particular segment happens before the wedding. It will be a memory.

To avoid spoiling those that do not want to read it, I've posted it after the jump, click Read More to read.

I will try to get Forever After up today as planned but I am on babysitting duty again so it might be a push. Keep an eye out, if not it will be up tomorrow at the latest. I'm hoping this preview makes up for it if I cant manage an update tonight :)

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.

Teaser and few new pictures

So I hope everyone had a good Christmas! I've had such a busy week it has been insane. Things have started to settle down now though and I'm back on track with my stories.
I wanted to make this post, firstly to thank everyone who has supported 'Faith' and even though it has caused some controversy the positive responses outweigh the bad so thank you.

I have a teaser for next chapter of Forever After involving Holly and Jason. (click to see bigger)

I also have a picture of grown up Isobel, she is going to be 13 in Forever After from chapter 46 onwards and she has just been in Living in Paradise as an adult so I thought I'd post some pictures since all the other kids are adults already.

Forever After should be up either today or tomorrow!

A serious update about FF

I am fed up of a lot of things right now, FanFiction is one of them. I don’t want to give it up, I love writing too much to give it up; I've been on FF way too long now, nearly five years, FanFiction is a part of my life but I do need to change some things.

Recently I've had to have a serious look at my FF life and why certain things got me so upset. I wont go into detail but one of the things I'm upset about is all the people attacking me and my FF friends for ‘copying’ each other. I am beyond fed up of getting messages about the same author again and again. I am so unbelievably grateful to my loyal readers, I love you all for sticking by me but I'd rather not know anymore. Some authors just don’t know when to stop and I can't stop them. It's their story and there are always going to be stories similar to mine and it upsets me when its obvious that they read mine first but I can't do anything about it and the more I get reminded of it the worse it is.

On another note that is similar to the last, I want to say that I will no longer accept requests to read BD continuation FanFictions. The reason behind this is related to my last point, I don’t want to be influenced. In the past I have been able to separate my reading material to my writing material but at the moment I read way too many FanFictions that I can barely keep track off, some of them have also been so similar to my own that they’ve been influencing my own writing, e.g. I've thought of a future plot line and then seen it in another story and felt like I couldn’t write that now.

Bombarding myself with FFs to read has been ruining the writing experience for me so from now on I will not be reading any more stories other than the ones I already follow (if I already review and read your story, I will continue to read it and won’t be giving it up. I wont do that to any of you)

The exception to this is FanFictions of my own stories, I will ALWAYS support those that are writing with my characters (e.g. KleoCullen’s Forever Yours or JamieDodger’s Forever Original etc) or any other FanFictions that are AU or AH (Such as MissRenesmeeCarlie’s Shattered etc). So feel free to tell me about stories that fit this criteria and I will definitely read them.

I am sorry to those that have asked me to read their stories or were planning to. I will let you know when I start accepting requests again.

I hope you all understand. This is a necessary sacrifice right now, for the good of my stories and my future plot lines.

Forever Yours (A Sarah and Nahuel FF by KleoCullen)

Samy has written a story based on Sarah and Nahuel. I guess you could call it a FanFiction of my FanFiction :) I have given her complete permission and blessing to write it and shes updated the first chapter!

Small disclaimer: It is purely 'Fan'FanFiction and it does not correlate to how Sarah and Nahuel's future will go 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. I do however support her 100% and answer any questions she has relating to my characters.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9818018/1/
Please go and support her! If Sarah and Nahuel is your favourite couple its worth a read :)
~Nikki

EDIT: Graphic made by Samy of Nahuel and Sarah :)

Ashton Billy and Phoebe Sarah

With the birth of the two new Cullens i had to post pictures :) Im posting a picture of them as babies (big thanks to Toni, TrueTigress for this) and pictures of them a little older (about 3 years old) but bear in mind they are only babies, this just gives you an idea of how they will look towards the end of my story.

The Twins as newborn babies

Ashton on the left, Phoebe on the right. (Thanks to TrueTigress)
(This is supposed to be the first ever picture taken of them, it is printed onto canvas and put between their cribs in their nursery as Alice suggested)

Update

Just to update, i know i said id update both stories by the 8th but they will be updated the 10th instead. i got thrown on a paediatric first aid course last minute. i only got told on tuesday and its a 2 full day course, plus i have dance for 3 hours wednesday so ive just had no time today to go through anything. im quickly updating this before i get a shower and go to bed because i have to be up at 6 tomorrow for another full day of first aid training. i finish about 4 so i promise i will spend the entire evening tomorrow on FanFiction so i can update Living in Paradise and Forever After.
Sorry for the delay :(
Thank you for understanding.
~Nikki

EDIT (10.10.13) : Ive updated Living in Paradise because thats the story that had the shorter chapter, plus the one i hadnt updated recently, it is now 22:30 and i have to be up at 6am so i really have to go to bed, good news though means i have the entire afternoon tomorrow to do just Forever After so it will be updated then. I just dont have the energy tonight and its a really important chapter that i want to be perfect :)

New Teasers

Anyone looking for a picture of grown up Avia look in the Forever After tab OR scroll past this post if you dont mind seeing teaser posters.


Holly and William teasers :) CLICK THEM TO SEE BIGGER VERSIONS

Holly and Jason Uley
I just couldnt get this one right, i dont like the way it turned out but it gives you an idea about them at least.

(Text: I came in like a wrecking ball, I never hit so hard in love. All I wanted was to break your walls.
All you ever did was wreck me)

All im going to say is that the quote could come from either of them (I will say the placement of the words is important ;)), i cant wait to finally get this story line going. I heard Wrecking Ball by Miley and all i could think about were Holly and Jason.




William and Sophia's Wedding

(Text: You are cordially invited to the wedding of Sophia Lauren Cullen and William Edward Black)

The two children in the picture are Phoebe and Ashton so it gives you a bit of an idea when exactly they're gunna get married (its a while off yet but they will before i end Forever After.) This was just something i made out of boredom and i thought it would be sweet to post as a teaser for their wedding.

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 :)

Allesandra Cullen and Lexi Pictures

Like i said in the last Living in Paradise chapter i actually dreamt the story of Allesandra and i managed (after 2 hours of painfully looking through movies id seen) to find the little girl i saw in my dream and i thought id post it here so you can all see. I also went searching for Lexi :)

New Fanart and Poll!

I got some lovely fanart of Holly, Avia, Lidiya and Anelie.
Thank you so much Enakshi i love it.

(click to make it bigger)

If you have some fanart or a fanvideo you wish to send me make sure you email me (bellanessiecullenff@gmail.com) or send me a tweet (bellanesscullen)! I always get so excited seeing new fanart.

 
Ive also added a new poll to both my blog and FanFiction profile, i want to know your favourite POV and pairings, who do you like reading the most or who would you like to hear from more, let me know!Ive only opened the poll to vote on the kids because people like Nessie/Jake, Eddie/Chloe and Zio/Chanti will be 'weaved' in and out of the chapters anyway. It will be easier for me to structure my chapters if i know who people want to hear from.
