Tuesday Fic Review!

Plucked

by 

Tropical Sorbet

Life on the farm was all Bella Swan ever knew … until one day a copper topped stranger showed up at Cullen Poultry and ruffled more than just a few feathers. AH/AU One Shot

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7770510/1/PLUCKED

Where to start with this one? 

Okay...I know!

It was fucking hilarious! This fic had me busting up from start to finish. I mean, who thinks this stuff up?

Apparently Tropical Sorbet did!

I first head about this story when I was doing an internet search on TwiFics, and just so happened to click on the photos. Well, a banner of Plucked showed up and, from the look of the banner, I knew I had to check it out! So I searched the fic name and BLAM! there it was on FF.net! 

I decided to venture into the world of Plucked last night and about spit my Mt. Dew everywhere with the first few lines! 

Here's a little excerpt...

"Are you alright?" He asked scratching the back of his messy hair.

I nodded. "Yes, thank you. There are signs," I babbled shyly.

"Signs?" He questioned and I nodded again. "What are you some sort of new age, psychic chick?"

I had no idea what he was talking about. We stood there looking at each other with equally confused faces. Just as I was about to mumble a fast good-bye and run off the front door swung open, my boss quickly made his way to my side.

"Bella are you alright? I've never seen you look so pale." Mr. Cullen's concerned eyes darted over to the stranger. "What happened?"

"Fuck if I know," he said in exasperation. "I was just standing here when she came walking up to me talking about forbidden signs and shit. Then she threw an apple in the air and ran in circles breathing into a paper bag."

Just the thought of someone running around in circles, going nuts had me rolling! 

"So Bella, what do you do for fun around here when you're…not getting high?" He moved in closer to me.

"Lot of things," I managed to squeak out, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear. "I've been knitting scarf and hat sets all year for the big craft fair next week." I bit down on my lip in contemplation.

"I said fun," he backed away slightly. "Not grandmother training," his eyes lit up as he smiled. "What do you do for excitement?"

"Oh, um..." I placed my glass down on the table beside me, "I don't really like excitement."

Looking at him through my lashes was a huge mistake because I noticed his lips were the most brilliant shade of red. I wasn't a fan of red, it was so flashy, but I was reconsidering that as I watched his mouth move.

"Stop fucking with me," his hand reached out and stilled my bouncing knee. "Tell me something you do with passion. Just say the first thing that comes to mind."

"I sex chickens," I bragged shamelessly. "But I get paid for that. Honestly, I love it so much I'd sex them for free."

And those last lines up there had me friggen cracking up! 

So, as the story progresses, Bella and Edward do some 'sexing' of their own, and boy does it get steamy!  So if you're looking for a fic, that has it all, hot ass bronze haired guys, farm girls, and sexing chickens, then this is the fic for you! 

BTW! Chicken sexing is a real process! Seriously...o-0

Saturday Spotlight

Have you ever come across a FF story that has more chapters than it does reviews?

Is it a fic so good that you can’t possibly imagine why in the heck readers pass it by and don’t leave a review?

Have you ever found yourself so enthralled by an fic that you want to scream it from the rooftops ‘Read This! It’s friggen amazing!’ but just don’t know how?

Well, we've found the perfect solution!

There seems to be this sweet, little ol’ blog out there that rec’s out the fics that generally don’t get the attention that they deserve. The two ladies that run the whole operation are extremely dedicated to showing their appreciation to the fandom that they work tirelessly at getting the word spread around FB and Twitter about the unknown FF stories and authors.

Haven’t guessed who we’re talking about yet?

Okay, I’ll get it over with…

This week’s Saturday Spotlight shines its light on the fabulous women of Underfictionated!

Issy aka DreamOfTheEndless and Lou aka lulabelle98

  

For some time now, these two ladies have been putting forth great effort into bringing the unknown authors of some pretty fabulous fics to the fandom’s attention. Not to mention, these two ladies have also rec’d out new and upcoming authors to the world of FF. 

 Not only do they run the blog Underfictionated, they also dedicate themselves to pimping amazing fics out on Twitter, and running their FB group Underfictionated.

 

And, if you weren’t already aware, Issy and Lou are FF author’s themselves. They have written some amazing stories that readers just can’t seem to walk away from. 

It is amazing when I see people dedicating themselves to something that they feel is very important, helping out fabulous writers that keep us entertained with the stories they write.

Issy and Lou, the world of FF thanks you for all of your hard work and dedication. Without you, the world of FF would be lost and lonely. You are a piece of the fandom puzzle and we wouldn’t be complete without you. Thank you!

Friday Fic Review

My Wounded Soldier 

 by 

counselor  

Guess Reviewed by Jayme DuRob

1866 Edward just home from the war. Neighbor Bella has a tragedy and Edward delivers her baby. Seeing as she's widowed, marriage makes sense. He doesn't feel worthy, but he can't step aside for her suitors. Competition amongst veterans.

(Romance/Hurt/Comfort)
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7899031/1/My_Wounded_Soldier

Over the past few weeks I had been seeing this story recommended by a great many of my friends, and I mean they were gushing over it. I'd planned on waiting until it was complete to begin reading it but decided to go ahead and give it a try. I cannot say how happy I am that I did. My Wounded Soldier is 35 chapters long and counselor updates extremely fast.

I am nowhere near caught up on all the chapters. Have I mentioned that they are long chapters?   Extremely long, fulfilling chapters that immediately transport you to another time. 

My Wounded Soldier is set in the post Civil War period.  Edward returned from the war a broken, disillusioned man.  His brother Garrett, who was the apple of the family’s eye, was killed during a battle and Edward can’t get past the guilt he feels about his failure to save him.  As he returned home, he made the decision to leave the family home and travel out West to start a new life. He feels unworthy of his family’s affection and thinks his life will be better  if he starts fresh in a place where no one knows or cares about him. 

 

Bella and her husband Riley live down the road on a neighboring farm.  They have a young son, Johnny, and Bella is due to deliver their second child when tragedy occurs. Riley’s father paid someone to take Riley’s place in the war, and after the soldier’s wife took her children and left him, he came back for revenge on Riley and his family.  After her husband was killed, Bella shot and killed the enraged man, which instantly sent her into labor.  Johnny went for help and came back with Edward in tow. 

Edward safely delivered Bella’s baby and a strong bond begins to grow between them.

I don’t want it to seem like I am giving away the entire story, but all this happens in the first chapter! Talk about a whirlwind!

What I love so much about this fic is counselor’s writing.  It reads more like a novel than a fanfic. She is meticulous in detail and her attention to the language and situations of the time is outstanding.  It boggles the mind to think of how much research she has done to make it so authentic.  

The story is mostly written from EPOV and his inner turmoil is fascinating to read.  The other characters are also well developed and her, in the story, Bella is very strong.  I highly recommend My Wounded Soldier to anyone who likes historical fanfics or simply enjoys a well-written quality story.

Tuesday Fic Review

Savior 

by Lissa Bryan

"I'm not Bella Swan any more. That girl died alone, in the woods, shortly after my eighteenth birthday. I am Death, and Death wears Christian Louboutins." Entry for "Bella's Insane" contest. OOC/AU/M

***

 I first heard of Lissa Bryan when I was bouncing around FB groups. I found her gabbing it up with the ladies over at the Underfictionated group. I was intrigued by a thread she was posting in and decided to check out her FF profile. I scanned through her list of stories until this one caught my eye. It was different to say the least…

I have never, in all the time I’ve been reading FF, read a fic that had anything to do with Bella hating Edward to the point of wanting to off him. And this Bella, well, that’s exactly what she wants to do.

Here’s the details…

After Edward leaves Bella in the forest, he says it was for her own well-being, Bella is thrust into a whirlwind of emotions. Not only does she turn completely whacko, her complete state of mind is tested. Bella has become so withdrawn and hateful, over the voluntary disappearance of her one, true love, she catapults herself into a life of vengeance.

Let’s just say that the lowdown men of Forks are not safe from this altered beauty.

 ***

My surgeries weren't so dramatic as to be noticeable when I wear my plain, baggy everyday clothes with a bare face. Nature's flaws had been corrected, my face made symmetrical, my weak chin and slightly pug nose corrected and my bust enhanced.

***

I have never read something as deviously intriguing as Savior. It pulls you back and forth, leaving you wanting more, and pulling at your hair!. You instantly root for the damaged damsel, but at the same time you yearn to make her see ‘the light’, giving her the sign that ‘Love Conquers All’.

Unfortunately, I don’t think the damsel in this story is up for much therapy!

I guarantee, you will either love it or hate it, but in the end you won’t be able to tear your eyes from reading it!

As for me, well, I loved it!

Another little tidbit for those of you who haven’t already heard…Lissa Bryan is also the author of an original fiction that she recently submitted for publication. When we find out the deets, we here at TwiFich00rs will sound off!

Good luck to you, Lissa!

Friday Fic Review!

Seduction

by 

bnjwl


Written for Dirty Cheeky Monkeys, Olderdoctorward and Bella, what else do I have to say? Smut for smut's sake alone, not much plot. Might continue it, not sure, Rated Very M for language and lemons, Edward/Bella

What do you get when you have a young girl and an older doctor?

Older Doctorward 

Young Bella Swan

Let me start by saying that I love, love, love bnjwl's stories! She writes with such passion and eroticism it makes your ovaries want to explode and your lady bits swell up and ache for more!

And this story, Seduction, does just that!

In the story we have an older doctor that gets a visit from his best friends' young daughter, Bella. Anyhoo, Bella brilliantly comes up with a rouse that she is experiencing back pain. Well, what our resident doctor, Edward, doesn't know is that she's bluffing him in the hopes of getting him all hot, bothered, and naked!

And sweet, not-so-innocent Bella does just that and, let me tell you, it gets hotter from there!

(It starts with sweet, tasty touches)

"But, Edward, no one will know." She traced a hand down the front of my shirt right beside the buttons.

I died a little when I heard her purr my first name. It was such an erotic sound that came from her. I wanted to throw my head back and just moan at the sound alone, but I had to convince her that this was not a good idea at all.

(Then sweet, savory kisses ensue)

"Please, baby, let me feel you. Show me how you can take care of me. Just for the summer, then I'll go off to school and not look back with regrets, okay?" She tilted her head up to me; it just left her mouth open for me to kiss her.

My kiss would show her my acceptance of her offer. I knew I was probably going to go to hell for this, but if I was going anyway, I might as well have a good time on my way there. My hands pulled her towards me and kissed her.
 
(And then...Holy Mother of All Things Sinful!)

bnjwl has the ability to blow you away with words and suck you in with the visuals that her words send. I suggest to everyone, who hasn't read Seduction, to go check it out!

bnjwl, we will see anymore on this little bitty?
*crosses fingers*

You can find bnjwl's fics HERE

Go check them out!
