Blog Changes + Wikia

So I know I've been MIA for a bit, at least on here but I decided to change a few things, so new header and background, still staying with the red theme but going red and white instead of red and black.
I've changed a few of the tabs and added an About tab for any new vistors to my blog. I have merged the Forever After and Living in Paradise tabs into the Renesmee Series tab since Ihave now finished the majority of my Renesmee stories. Forever Legends still has its own tab as it's my only active story.
I am back on a schedule now I'm down to one story. I am hoping I will realistically get Forever Legends up every 2-3 weeks.

There is also now a wikipedia for my stories. Beth has kindly created one for me, making the character list a lot shorter and simpler. Many of the characters are on there, there are still some missing but she's working on it all the time. It has been a lot easier for myself and readers to see my characters and where they link from so go check that out!

Happy Birthday Samy! - Tony/Anelie EXTRA

I wrote part of this a while ago but I wanted to save it so I could release it today specifically. This is for Samy, who’s birthday is today! I wanted to do something special for you and this is the only thing I could really think of. Happy birthday hun! I never thought I'd ever get a friend like you through FanFiction. You're always there for me and you seriously don’t know how much that means to me. I cant believe we’ve only been talking to each other a few months, it feels like a life time. Thank you for everything. I just thought I'd write an extra of (one of) your OTPs hehe. Love you and hope you had an amazing day and your brothers weren't too annoying ;) <3

It's kinda fluffy but I had a dream about Anelie and Tony with daughters and I had to write it down. There is more than just this which I will release later on this month. This is just a start that I really wanted to publish today for Samy.

The extra is after the break :)

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.

Forever Legends chapter 4 pictures.

So there are a few new characters you meet in this chapter so im going to put the pictures up here, some of them have been in the FL tab for a while but now theyve been introduced im making it more accessable, especially to new readers, since im aware there are some reading Forever Legends that havent read my other stories.

Esther and Aleksander (see Luna Bambini tab at the bottom)
Kara Atten (introduced in chapter 1)

Alena Tilden (pronounced 'a LEE nah' - not Elena)

Caroline Tilden (Axton's aunt, she's not in the chapter but she is mentioned and since she's his mothers twin this is also a picture of his mother)

Family Tree (posting again since its mentioned in this chapter) some mates are not named because of potential spoilers.

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.

Poll Results and schedule

So the poll results are in:

Forever Legends 65%
Semper Fidelis 25%
None, start something else 7%
No preference 1%
Edwards New Moon 0% 

So this means Forever Legends is the new story! Which I'm really happy about because I have so many ideas for this story now. I've already started to work on it so the first chapter should be published soon.
I've changed the tab and removed the story that was there because its going to be changed and put onto FanFiction now. I have added pictures of the main characters though and characters you will meet in the story.

I have also updated a schedule on the side of my blog, Making Memories is the Lexi, Ella, Beth one shot so that will be up soon and so will another chapter of Esther's life on my blog!
Thanks for voting! I promise Semper Fidelis will be the next project, I didnt realise so many people still wanted to read it.

Poll and Extra

So I promised a Holly extra from last chapter but i went to look for it and couldnt find it anywhere! im seriously upset. when i had both chapters to decide between i took parts of them and put them together, i must have saved over the original alternate chapter and lost it. I might write parts of it out but right now i have none of it :( I can give you a brief summary of the alternate chapter and maybe ill be able to write it out for you soon, im sorry about that.

Summary: Jason doesnt imprint... but Holly thinks he does, they declare love for each other the day before she sees him with a girl and she mistakes his (very slight) flirting and is paranoid that he imprinted. she goes home crying, without Jason explaining and Lidiya persuades her to avoid him as much as possible. Will realises that Holly is ignoring Jason and Jason doesnt know why. He goes to Holly and gets her to talk to Jason. She eventually does but even though things are explained Holly decides that the relationship cant go anywhere and she tells him that its over between them. but of course  is still heartbroken.


On another note, now Living in Paradise is finished (mostly) i opened a poll for my next story. On the right of my blog make sure you vote for which story you want to see next!

Hope you all have a wonderful new year :) This will be my 5th year on FanFiction, I can hardly believe it's been that long.
