Twilight Fan Fiction: The Twilight Twenty-Five (er, Five)

The Twilight Twenty-Five was a challenge/community on Live Journal to write 25 Twilight-themed fan fictions between September 1 and December 1 based on specific prompts. The stories could be either one-shots of at least 1000 words or drabbles of exactly 100 words.

Due to a variety of reasons and circumstances, I really procrastinated on this, and by November 1 I had resigned to not even bothering. For whatever reason, I decided on the last day of the challenge, with only a few hours left, to write as many drabbles as I could.

I only got five done before I burned out. Although I originally intended to write from a variety of character viewpoints, after the first couple, I began falling back to my usual Edward/Bella and they started sounding the same. :-/ But it was good because it broke the writer's block I've been pushing against for a while. It's so freeing to know you only have to write 100 words and not have to have a complete story cycle, but also challenging to get exactly 100 words.

My five drabbles are posted as a story on FF.net. Each drabble is a new chapter:

A new Twilight 25 challenge is starting in January. I haven't decided yet if I will participate or not.

Twilight Fan Fiction: Torn in Two

Another thing I forgot to post on my blog: my latest Fan Fiction story. It's my first attempt at a non-Cullen-centric story.


Banner created by the lovely annamorphos. Thank you!


Summary: Leah Clearwater was working on moving past her heartbreak over Sam. Life was slowly getting better. Then, one day, everything changed.

I finally created an account at Fanfiction.net. Here's the link to the story:

I wrote this for Novel Novice Twilight's July-August challenge and took first place!


Although NNT doesn't usually have prizes for their fan fiction challenge, this time they did. Check out this really awesome autographed Twilight cast photo I received! You can imagine how excited I was. Totally worth delving into a little wolf fiction. :-)

Twilight Fan Fiction: Body and Soul (Outtakes)

I have a few scenes for Body and Soul that ended up on the cutting room floor, so-to-speak. I posted them to my LiveJournal in all their un-beta'ed glory!

See the Outtakes!

Twilight Fan Fiction: TA's September Twibble

Here is my entry for Twilighters Anonymous' September Twibble challenge. (A Twibble is a Twilight-related story, 250 words or less, that includes a specific quote.)

This month's quote: "Practice makes perfect." -Bella


Practice Makes Perfect

UPDATE: Won first place in the Twibble challenge!

Twilight Fan Fiction: Body and Soul

My latest fan fiction, and my longest yet at just under 10,000 words. There are also 1500+ words worth of outtakes which I will post later. UPDATE: Read the outtakes here.

Written for One Shot to Twilight's Freaky Friday Challenge - take two characters and switch them as in the movie Freaky Friday.


Summary: What if Bella Swan and Jessica Stanley switched bodies?

Rated: R for language and some sexual themes (pretty mild)

Twilight Fan Fiction: Gone Too Soon

The story is available on LiveJournal and Twilighted right now. Twilight Archives and Simply Twilight are soon to come.
Live Journal
Twilighted


Shortly after Michael Jackson's death, hellacullen, a member of the Twilight Fan Fiction community, started a community of stories that are inspired by one of his songs.

I decided to contribute a story for her series. Looking over a list of MJ's songs, Gone Too Soon triggered a lot of memories. I used to follow Ryan White's story and how MJ was involved. In fact, one of the first fictional stories I wrote, back in high school, was inspired by Ryan White. So I felt it fitting that I write a piece of Twilight Fan Fiction inspired by this song that MJ wrote about Ryan White.

It shouldn't come as a surprise, if you read the lyrics, that this is a sad song and thus I wrote a sad story:
Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon

Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon

Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon

Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night

Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon

Gone Too Soon

Twilight Fan Fiction: Links to My Stories

It's been over a month since I posted any Twilight fan fiction, but I have been hard at work at some new stories.

I've also created a LiveJournal account where I am posting all of my fan fiction, as well as some Twilight fan fiction-specific websites. From now on, when I post my fan fiction, I'll be posting links to these sites instead of posting it directly here.

My LiveJournal is the most up-to-date listing of my fan fiction. As soon as a story is ready for public viewing, I post it here. :-)

Here are the Twilight Fan Fiction sites I post to. Because each of these sites has a validation process each story goes through, they may not have the most recent stories right away.

If you are a member of any of those sites and read my fiction, please leave me a review and let me know what you think!

Twilight Fan Fiction: A Single Day of Forever

Here is my most recent Twilight fan fiction. It is my entry for Novel Novice Twilight's May/June Challenge. The challenge was to write about a first anniversary. This story is the extended version of my June Twilighters Anonymous entry ("I did some research on the internet.")

A Single Day of Forever



UPDATE:
A Single Day of Forever received Honorable Mention in Novel Novice Twilight's challenge!

Twilight Fan Fiction: TA's July Twibble

Here is my entry for Twilighter's Anonymous July Twibble challenge. (A Twibble is a Twilight-related story, 250 words or less, that includes a specific quote.)

This month's quote: "Would you like a round of applause?" -Bella

A big THANKS to everyone at Twilighter's Anonymous who voted my June entry as #1!

Twilight Fan Fiction: TA's June Twibble

As I mentioned a few posts ago, I have an entry for Twilighters Anonymous' June Twibble challenge. What is a Twibble? It's a short piece of writing - 250 words or less - that must include a certain quote and relate to the Twilight universe.

The quote this month: "I did some research on the Internet." - Bella Swan, Twilight, Page 187.

Here's my story: http://www.mooberrydreams.com/Blog%20Files/InternetResearch.pdf

Twilight Poem

I don't usually write poetry (for good reason probably, LOL) but when Twilighters Anonymous had their "You know you're a Twilighter when..." contest, my thoughts immediately turned to a poem.

Being so left-minded and always needing structure, I didn't even try to write a free form poem. Instead I researched different forms of poetry and then settled on an Italian Sonnet. In an Italian Sonnet, there are 14 lines with a rhyming pattern of abbaabbacdecde and often times each line is 11 syllables. All of the lines in my poem have 11 syllables except the first line (because it was given as part of the contest) and line 11 because it is a direct quote from the book and there's not much I can do about that. ;-)

I didn't win the contest but it was still fun (mostly, LOL). I don't know that I'll be writing much more poetry in the future, it's just not my thing.

Here's the poem:

Twilight Fan Fiction: NNT's Mar-Apr Challenge

As I promised a few days ago here are my two entries to Novel Novice Twilight's March/April Challenge. I did not win any rankings this time, but from what I have read of the ones that did win, they really deserved to win. The challenge was to write a scene from Edward's perspective but it had to be a scene that wasn't already included in the four books.

My first entry, Charlie's Interference, takes place shortly after Twilight ends, a couple of months before New Moon begins.



My second entry, Impossible, takes place near the end of Twilight, when Edward is flying to Phoenix to take Bella into hiding. About half-way through it joins up with Twilight.



I'm working on several more pieces, but it will depend on if I get it all done in time. One is for a contest at Twilighter's Anonymous due May 15. Another is for Twilighter's Anonymous' next Twibble contest due May 17. And finally, the next Novel Novice Twilight Challenge, which isn't due until June 30, but I have two ideas I want to write for that one.

Twilight Fan Fiction: TA's Continue the Saga Contest

Last week, Twilighter's Anonymous ran a contest: write a synopsis (300 words or less) for a 5th book in the Twilight Saga. A title was also required.

I spent a lot of time thinking about it and planning out little details that didn't even make it into the synopsis (such as what town the Cullens would move to), but it was a lot of fun and well worth the effort. I won first place!

Here is my entry: http://www.mooberrydreams.com/Blog%20Files/GoldenHour.pdf



I will have more fan fiction to share in a few days. Twilight Novel Novice's March/April Challenge ends today and I have entered two stories for it. There should be a new Twilighter's Anonymous Twibble quote soon, too.

UPDATE (5/28/09):
First prize for this contest was a "Vampires Welcome" sign from The Twilight Shop. It arrived yesterday!!

Twilight Fan Fiction: TA's April Twibble Contest

Today I have a little Twilight Fan Fiction to share. I submitted this for Twilighters Anonymous's Twibble contest. What is a Twibble? It's a short piece of writing - 250 words or less - that must include a certain quote and relate to the Twilight universe.

For April's contest, the quote to be used was: "It's too bad about the snow, isn't it?" - Edward Cullen, Twilight, Page 47

Here is my entry: http://mooberrydreams.com/Blog%20Files/TooBadAboutTheSnow.pdf

Twilight Novel Novice: Challenge Winner!

It's been a long time since I've written anything creative, but a Twilight website called Twilight Novel Novice runs challenges every other month and I decided to enter. The challenge was to write a scene from the book New Moon as a screenplay for the movie. I really enjoyed this project, so much so that I couldn't stop at just one scene - I did four!

I wanted to stay as close to the book as possible, but also keep continuity with the first movie. I was pleasantly surprised when I visited the website this afternoon and discovered not only was I one of the winners, but all four of my scenes were listed! You can click on the banner below to read my entries as well as the other entries. (Mine is "4 Scenes by Christie")



This was really fun for me. I would like to enter the next challenge but I'm still coming up with my idea.
