Updating Schedule/Blog Information

Hello people who read this blog!

I just wanted to say a few things about this blog. I love it a lot and put a lot of work into it, that being said I can't update it all the time because of RL or every time stories get updated (especially with some being updated a few times a day). So I would make sure if you are someone who judges whether to start reading stories on if they've been updated recently (to avoid getting into stories that get abandoned) then ALWAYS check the link and see if my last updated is the right. Sometimes a month or two goes by before I can really get back to look through all the rec's on each post to see if they've been updated.

Also that goes for some stories being removed/pulled/ect. PLEASE let me know if a link doesn't work by leaving a comment - it would be much appreciated :)

Enjoy!

I was looking for some of the stories and was hoping to make a list here of at least the stories i'm reading/rec'ing and where they are going. So please comment if you know of a story, or if you are an author and have different accounts on other websites or a personal blog. Thanks!

Lions, Tigers and Vampires...oh my!


When I started this blog I really avoided any stories with vampires in them that weren't like the ones in the Missing Moments blog, I just didn't like other people's interpretations and whatnot. But recently I've found some and well, I’m pleasantly surprised.


So here they are, vampire/supernatural stories blog!

(and in case you were wondering yes this is a repost of a previous blog post, for some reason it wouldn't let me reformat the old one and wouldn't let me make changes so i just deleted the whole thing and started over.)




Author: RachyDoodle
Rating: M
Genre: Romance/Angst
Complete/Last Update: Complete
Summary: When Police Officer Charlie Swan breaks a deal with Aro, leader of the Volturi, Aro sends vampire Edward to get even. How? By kidnapping the Chief's daughter... Cannon pairings, AU, little OOC.

Why Read? I liked this story because it was an interesting plot and really great character development going on. Edward starts off as a much darker vampire then we are used too and even Bella's pretty great, especially in her situation. RachyDoodle really knows how to write a story, you won't be disappointed.




Title: My Mate
Author: Different-kind-of-vamp
Rating: M
Genre: Romance/Supernatural
Complete/Last Update: Complete
Summary:Edward is an 89 year old vampire that gets captured by scientist. They do research on him. Than the scientist capture another vampire, a female. Edward immediately feels attracted to her. They fall in love of course, but soon another vampire is captured, a male, no less. what do you think could happen? Edward & Bella

Why Read? I stumbled upon this charming story just now and i'm so glad that i gave it a chance. The vampire's are really different in this story (all explained in the first A/N) so the world and how everything in it is a lot different. Edward's alone until he finds his mate, Bella and this story is all about their life together and how he has to protect her (she's young and a bit naive) as they are in captivity and in the real world if they can ever get out. The main reason it's in this blog is because there really wasn't anywhere else to put it. The subject matter isn't questionable, I doubt anyone would have any issue's its just its a vampire story and not twilight vampire's since she's made her own.

Complete/Last Update: Complete
Summary: Bella begins working for the elusive and distant Edward Cullen who she discovers is hiding behind an elaborate charade to maintain his secret lifestyle. Bella is determined to find out the mysteries of Edward Cullen but with what results? AU, OOC.

Why Read? I liked this story because of the mystery and interesting way it was written. There's a lot going on and you never really know what all of it is. EZRocksAngel is a great author and i think there might even be a sequel of sorts for this story coming out sometime soon (yipeeee)




Title: Everlong
Author: SydneyAlice
Rating: M
Genre: Romance/Friendship
Complete/Last Update: Complete
Summary: Edward Cullen leaves his family to search for his soulmate. Meanwhile, the Cullens grow close to a brown-eyed teenager who they save from drowning. Could she be the one Edward is searching for? Slightly OOC. Rated M for language and future lemons.

Why Read? Its cute, honestly just feel in love with the way SydneyAlice writes the Cullen family. Edward is looking for love, well literally in all the wrong places and Alice is just trying to help him find his way.




Title: Tangled Web
Author: m7707
Rating: M
Genre: Angst/Drama
Complete/Last Update: Complete
Summary: Edward, Jacob, Demetri, and Felix are members of the Volturi Elite Guard. Their team tracks beings that have violated the Volturi Code of Silence. When they are assigned to investigate the human Isabella Swan, Edward's unalterable world is altered. AU

Why Read? Mhm it's another kidnap story really, but it seems that a lot of vampire stories are, not saying that this is in anyway the same as other's i've recommended because its not. Right in the second chapter she throws in her own spin on how this story is going to go, and from there out its all great plot and writing.




Author: Crazy Blue Wild Faerie
Rating: M
Genre: Supernatural/Romance
Complete/Last Update: 1-22-11
Summary: Vampires have revealed themselves and Bella is living in a world trying to adjust to a new species. She is sick of other people and just wants to get out of her backwater town. She didn't want to become a vampire soul-mate, but life's a bitch. OOC

Why Read? Well honestly after i read the summary i just started to laugh out loud, it was amazing. Interesting AU story, where Humans and Vampires are co-existing together, though that doesn't mean they are happy about it. In this story these vampires pretty much imprint on human girls and then give them immortality so they can live forever together, and not everyone loves this idea. There are two at Bella's high school (alice/rose) and they 'lovingly' refer to them as the "corpse brides". And just Bella's luck, Edward's got his eye on her, but he's a fool to think she's coming to come willingly. Interesting story, love that Bella really hates Edward as of now (july) and isn't blinded by his good looks and whatnot, he's a vampire and she's not interested, but does she have a choice? haha




Title: Withered Rose
Author: Isabella2324

Both story and author are no longer part of FFnet. 




Author: XlaraC
Rating: M
Genre: Romane/Supernatural
Complete/Last Update: Complete (3 outtakes up)
Summary: And So The Lion Fell In Love With The Lamb... literally. Everybody has what is known as a 'spirit animal'. Everybody knows who your spirit animal is - it's perfectly normal in this world. Edward and Bella meet, and are thrown into an odd sort of romance.

Why Read? I've had this on my "to read" list for a while, I added it because the summary was so interesting. XlaraC sets up her 'world' wonderfully, and you get completely sucked in right away. I love the way the POV is constantly changing so you get the feel of what's going on from different perspectives. She also has a way of leaving these foreshadowing one sentence narrations here and there, the only thing is, are they hinting at bad things in the future, just a worry, a major flaw that's going to come back and bite you in the butt or none of the above. On top of all this, its beyond cute, i love lion edward and lamb bella :)




Author: OnlyOneSymptom
Rating: M
Genre: Romance
Complete/Last Update: Complete
Summary: AU Cullen family are feudal lord-types. Edward claims his droit de seigneur.

Why Read? This story was interesting because it starts off in a time of Lords and whatnot, but as you can tell by the blog it's in there's so much more to the story. Bella is living contently waiting until she is to be married to long time family friend Jacob, until one day the Lords of the land (the Cullens) come back and everything's shaken up. Starting when Edward comes to the Swans house and announces that he is to marry Isabella and she's coming to live with his family that day.

Summary: Bella meets Edward while she is a child, and Edward becomes her best friend. When Bella's life is in danger, Edward is forced to leave to prevent her death. Edward returns later, but Bella has forgotten him. What the mind forgets, the heart remembers.

Summary: A famous voice teacher. A mysterious piano prodigy. Backstabbing classmates. Music school is competitive, and aspiring singer Bella Swan is determined to succeed. Hard work she can handle, but who expected music school to be dangerous? A story in 3 acts

Why Read? This story is really amazing, and quite original. It takes place, as stated, in 3 acts which is really cool. Starting with Bella going to a music school and meeting the tortured Edward, and well you'll have to read to find out any more! Its full of mystery, suspense, all the Cullen's, romance and singing :) currently finished Act 2 (8/9/10) and well it always blows my mind.

Summary: Edward has given up ever finding a vampire mate. He's decided on a new strategy-he'll find a human to become his mate. Easier said than done when others are in the way of who he wants.AU OOC




Author: Breathless Tomb

Summary: From the moment I laid eyes on Isabella Swan, I knew I'd never want anyone else for the rest of my existence. The moment I saw her, the universe stopped spinning, and suddenly, it was like the sun was in Isabella instead of in the sky. ExB. AU.

Why Read? This story starts with Edward going to school and feeling that tug, almost like imprinting, the feelings that his soul has found its other half, he's found his 'mate'. The only problem is she's broken, struggling to keep going after the death of her parents forcing her to live with her godparents, reincarnations of evil in their own way. Honestly they don't care about her or their family and her new "sister" Jessica hates her guts. So Edward has to find the perfect way to woo Bella and find the balance between "vampire Edward" and "human Edward" a funny, sweet story.

Summary: I didn't know anything was missing from my life until I met him at the carnival. Were my gypsy lifestyle and unbelievable gift too much for him to accept? And was there something bigger we should have been watching for? AH

Why Read? I found this rec'd at the end of a story i was reading and just happened to be looking for something new to read. I'm so glad i stubled upon this story - its new only 3 chapters in so far but its really going places. Bella works at a carnival with Renee and Phil (along with Alice, Esme and Emmett) and has a connection with the scents and energy of the air. I couldn't explain it and do it justice but it is really interesting. The story seems to focus on fíorghrá, or true love, and with Alice's cousin Edward Mason coming to spend the summer with them, there might just be love in the air :)

Summary: Edward Cullen met the girl of his dreams but pushed her away due to his complicated, dangerous family life. When cruel irony reunites them, he's forced to make a devastating choice: Save her from a fate worse than death or from the family business. AU

Why Read? I found this story through another blog, the Reccing Ball, and the summary really sounded interesting. This story starts off when Bella has has a bad run in with some unsavory characters, Vampires to be exact. That's where things get tricky, because Edward comes along and well lets say in their business they don't take well to vampires, seeing as they kill them on a regular basis. But what's a guy to do when the love of his life turns up as a vampire? Well that's where this story starts off, join Vampbella and Slayerward as they try to find a way to figure everything out and keep afloat as everything they thought they new about their lives, jobs, and vampires seems to change. (i think personally i really love the reverse rolls, as bella a vampire and edward the fragile human, pretty great actually)

Summary: New Moon AU. During Bella's run in with Laurent, what if the wolves had shown up just a few minutes later? Those minutes change Bella's life forever, and she must learn to deal with the consequences. Nominated for two Twific Indie Awards.

Why Read? I liked this story because there are a lot of stories out there that bella’s changed during NM and Edward doesn’t know, but they all go on that they don’t see eac hother for so many years. I’ve always felt that wouldn’t have been the case and if I had been bella I would have done something, and that’s exactly what glasscannon_lj’s bella did. So more proactive bella and not one that just lets things happen to her.

Summary: In a world dominated by vampires, humans are forced to donate blood and abide by the strict rules of the vampire government. Bella has never experienced life in an all-human world and one day the only life she knows shatters to pieces when her parents are killed by a vampire. She is adopted by her parents' friends, who happen to be vampires. Her life turns upside down as she moves to an all-vampire town. Will she have the strength to go on after all that she has endured? Will one special vampire heal her wounds as she struggles to live a life amongst vampires? Edward and Bella pairing, AU, OOC

Why Read? Now this is actually one of my very favorite vampire stories out there. It’s definitely OOC in certain ways, mostly that her vampires are not stephanie’s. Male vampires are dominant in society but love their women more than anything else, so I never thought of it as a bad thing (though a few super feminist might not be able to read it, I have a few friends who can’t read stories with actual male dominated societies cause its pisses them off and I get that). There is some “bloodplay” but its just during the marking that she has her vampires do, its how they distinguish mates from other vampires and things of that nature. I really say go read it and give it a chance, hopefully you’ll learn to love it just as much as I do.

Summary: Within the world of the vampire two species exist. Those who are free to walk by day and those condemned only to the night. It is in that world of violence and envy that two cross the boundary, blending the light and the dark, amidst The Violet Hour. AU

Why Read? This is only a few chapters in so I can’t really say too much about it other than you really want to be reading this story when it starts getting more chapters up, you won’t regret it. Its going to be amazing, which isn’t something you can always tell from the get go with fanfiction.




Title: Bred
Author: MoneyTunes10
Rating: M
Genre: Romance/Supernatural
Complete/Last Update: 4-12-11
Summary: In this world humans are traded to vampire families who want to breed human-vampire hybrids. This is Bella's story as the chosen human to breed hybrids for the Cullens. AU/OOC please read and review

Why Read? This story was one I hadn’t read before, but it sounded quite interesting so I gave it a shot. I really like the real feel paced story line that MoneyTunes10 has. Bella has a lot of stuff going on and its not going to go away in 2 chapters or anything like that (which occasionally happens in some stories).

Summary: A dark angel visits Bella Swan in her dreams, filling her with lust and unparalleled pleasure, but what happens when the line between fantasy and reality starts to blur? Rated M for language & dark themes.

Why Read? I think this might have started as a steamy one shot and then it was continued but I’m not sure, anyway its amazingly written and quite intense. I can’t really say too much its just one that you need to get into and see for yourself. I guarantee if you do, most will not be disappointed.

Why Read? This is a really great story, very mysterious and a bit more realistic here and there then what you’ve found in other stories or even twilight. Kind of like a different twilight just later in life, don’t really want to give anything away but its one I know I just can’t wait to get an update on.

Summary: Cursed to a life of immortality unless he finds his mate, a desperate vampire makes a wish on a shooting star. His wish is granted, but can she love both the man and the beast?

Why Read? Honestly it only takes knowing the author is SydneyAlice for me to at least read the first chapter, seeing as I’ve pretty much recommended everything she’s written. A really cute story that might sound a little cliché or something like that but of course with SydneyAlice’s writing style and personal spins of the story it truly is unique and one you will want to start reading.

Summary: After her mother's wedding in Mexico, Bella encounters a vampire with less altruistic motives than the those held by the vampires she might have met in Forks under drastically different circumstances. One bad decision, she discovers, can change her entire life. AU E/B

Why Read? I have to say that this is a very interesting story and I’ve enjoyed it thus far. Saying that I will admit that I really just skimmed the first couple of chapters since it does deal with a lot of intense subject matter (rape, kidnap, death) but there’s a disclaimer and it is a horror genre for a reason.

Why Read? Another interesting Vampire story, not the normal plot line and not completely your typical vampires. Really excited when I get updates and can’t wait to see where the plot goes.
