Check it... New shiz

So, uh... in case you missed it... I dun wrote sumthin' new.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6079274/1/Love_the_Way_You_Lie

If you liked The Other Side of Me, you might enjoy it. Or if you ship Alice/Emmett. (And if you do, I still love you, but I have to say... What. The. Fuck?! Seriously? Even writing that, all I could think was the dude would break the poor girl in two! I mean, I assume Jasper's packin' - call it my own perverse need to assume Jackson is - but Em's a gorram giant! Poor little Alice wouldn't even be able to stand afterward!)

In other news...

- Worked a little on I Have Seen the Rain. Hoping to get somewhere with that and have a new chapter up by the time I leave for Colorado (mid-August). Cross your fingers for me, would ya?

- Still working on Resistance. Might have to post a teaser or something at some point, just to see what people think.

- Working on yet another something new (I know, I know!). Not even gonna lie, I don't want to be working on it. But, as Robs can attest to, it's legit haunting me. To the point that I can't even enjoy the quiet time at the end of my yoga class without characters talking. Hell, I woke up three times last night because one of them wouldn't stop talking and it kept messing with my dreams. Right now, the plan is to get it the hell out of my head. Maybe I'll post it, maybe I won't. We shall see.

Now that that's out of the way... mind doing me a teeny favor? In one way or another, I've put pictures of Alice, Edward, Jasper and Bella from The Coldest Story Ever Told/The Other Side of Me, but Love the Way You Lie is really the first opportunity we've had to see Emmett beyond a mention here or there. So who do you see when you read him? My guess is a lot of you *cough*Annabelle*cough* would say Kellan without a second thought, and that's cool, he's almost always Emmett in my head. So... instead of just giving me a name, give me a picture. Show me your Emmett. Well, your... my Emmett... Eh, you know what I mean. Hook a girl up with some eye candy. ;)

PS - If you're wondering where I got the title for the outtake, quelle surprise, it's a song. http://tinysong.com/w5bC <-- That song, to be specific. Not what you'd expect from me, but at least it's not Kanye or Hannah Montana this time. lol

Updates and Sad Faces

Let's get the bad things out of the way first, shall we?

So, I really thought that hotseat thing would be fun. I thought people would have tons of questions. I thought, even if there weren't tons of questions, there would at least be a few and they would probably be really good ones. Know how many questions I got?

Zero.

That's right, not a single question. Not. Even. One. Not even the much asked and only answered to certain people "Did Alice/Jasper hear Edward?" Not even "What makes Alice tick? Why is she such a bitch? Why does she seem to thrill at the concept of hurting Edward?" Not even the obvious "Did she ever really love him?" Hell, not even the super obvious "Does she actually love Jasper or is she using him like she did Edward?"

Not a single. Fucking. Question.

Not gonna lie - I'm really goddamn bummed by that. Really goddamn bummed. Maybe you have to be as popular as the queens of the Jalice fandom to pull something like that off. Maybe I'm aspiring to too much, being such a tiny zooplankton in such a giant pond. Who knows? At this point though, I just have one question left...

So, now that we're past the "Sad Faces" portion of this post, let's discuss some updates, shall we?

If you're following me on Twitter (which you should be :P I'm RLStoli, in case you were wondering), you probably already know what I've been up to. A couple days ago, I sat down and dragged Namsper/Nommysper/Alice's soldier out of his little hidey hole and made him write a letter to his girl. She, in turn, immediately wrote one back. If you haven't yet caught on - I wrote a couple chapters for Go Ask Alice, so I think it would be safe you can expect an update before the end of the month. Why so long out? I'm hoping to write a few more chapters/letters before I go ahead and update. I promise, though, March will not end without at least one GAA update.

Something you might not know, even if you are following me on Twitter, is that I've also been hard at work on several chapters of I Have Seen the Rain. Don't go holding your breath for an imminent update though - the chapters aren't cohesive quite yet. And by "not cohesive," I mean I've written points A through E (get it? A - Alice, E - Edward. Ha. Didn't even do that on purpose) and J through R (don't tell me you missed that one), but there's no connect between E and J (*giggle*) yet. I'm working on it though - I promise. As I told my Twitter friends, I played silly stereotype Wednesday afternoon and sat in a Starbucks, drinking a tea I could barely pronounce and writing in public for about an hour. Got a surprising amount done, too. Might even say I got half of F written. (Sorry, no tie-in there.) I figure I'll try to make a habit of that. Sound like a plan to you all? Sounds like a plan to me. Though I may have to cut back to teas I can pronounce, given the whole sucky unemployed thing. Hopefully it isn't the tea that gets the creative juices flowing (Does that sound as disgusting to you all as it does to me?)

*looks around* You're still here? It's over. Go home.

Yes, I stole that from Ferris Bueler's Day Off. But seriously, I'm done. No more. Get gone. :P
