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.

A graphic made by Beth (who knew about Izellah quite a few chapters ago)

As I said in the chapter, shes only a minor character but if you're curious as to who I viewed her as an adult it's Adelaide Kane (picture in LiP tab).

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.

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 :)

Nelifia tab

I had a few requests (Beth, sibuna826twihard and 2 anonymous) after my latest chapter of Living in Paradise to create a tab like my Luna Bambini tab that explains the Nelifia, it is mostly complete but i may add some things into it later the more i think about where i want the story of the mermaids to go, i could possibly have forgotten a few things that ive already brought up too.
So go read that if you want to get up to speed on my new creation :)
Thanks for all the support with Living in Paradise!

P.S. I had to shuffle around my tabs since adding a new one would mess it all up, I had to merge three tabs into one to make The Renesmee Trilogy tab instead of having all three stories seperate, all pictures and information is still there, just under one tab instead of three.

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 :)

Allesandra (Alexandra) Cullen

Elizabeth Cullen + Fanvideo

So as you all know ive updated a new story, this is the picture of Edward and Bella's newest daughter, if you want a little fact file on her, go to the Luna Bambini tab and scroll down until you see her picture, it will tell you a bit more about her if you havent read the chapter.

EDIT:
Beth sent me a new fanvideo for Living in Paradise, its just how i imagined it.
