I spent TOO long over on Twilighted tonight trying in vain to add images to my signature! ARG!!! Never could get it to work. I used the URL, the Code, and the IMAGES buttons...nothing worked. I know I'm missing something just totally stupidly simple!
My avatar worked just great. Oh well, I stopped trying before my laptop ended up through the window and in the front lawn!
I had a lap band fill yesterday, and I am on liquids until tomorrow night...I'm not exactly in the best of moods today!

I LOVE Hockeyward! He is the bee's knees. Okay, well... Bella is the bee's knees!

We're only two chapters in so far and it's just gearing up. Hang in there, doll!

Oh, and I too am a member over at Twilighted. My name there is Jillian Landers.

I'm so freaking creative with my usernames, I kill me.

Good Evening, everyone!

Caryn ~ thanks for the information from Angela regarding her stories. I'll follow her anywhere.

Now some rec's:

1) Broken Doll by Rowna Moon
I have rec'd this fic before and just wanted to give it some props once more. It is now a completed fic. She updated the last chapter and Man, oh man did it go out with a bang!! A wonderfully written story Supernatural/Romance. Haunting, beautiful, Rowan really researched certain legends to bring a breath of realism to her story. I highly recommend it.

2) This story is knocking me off my feet:

Mens Rea: A Guilty Mind » by forbidden-fruit81
Edward Cullen is accused of murder for the slaying of his girlfriend. No one dares take on his case, until defense attorney Isabella Swan, that is. Edward proves to be a difficult client & the biggest challenge of her young but promising career.

Crime/Romance This story read like an excellent crime, mystery novel. Whip smart dialogue and Bella in this story is off the charts kick-butt - she holds nothing back in regards to her mouth and opinion, seriously humorous at times. Edward is arrogant, pompous, chauvinistic(more under current than in-your-face).
Keeps you on your toes and I can't stop reading once I start.
Anyway, please give these fantastic stories a try and enjoy!!!

HOnestly there is so many I don't know how I am going to read them all. The only one I read is Wide Awake which was amazing. The next one is the one written by Khar. I will be starting that hopefully within the next couple of days. I just read everyones suggestions and make a mental note to read them.

Sorry for the delay... I sent the first chapter into twilighted, just waiting for it to be validated. Still posting it on FFn until I'm told otherwise!

Question for the pros. I'm getting so many hits a day but only have 15 comments... what does that mean?? What makes people comment??

Frustrating, I know. As to what it means, could be any range of things...people felt like just writing, 'good job, nice story" was a waste of time, they just didn't want to review, they don't have an account, they loved it so much they were speechless...could be just about anything. As for what you can do, just ask. A simple, "Please click the review button and let me know what you think," can work wonders. Good luck.

Not getting reviews/comments is frustrating because you don't know if you're really doing something right or not.

One thing I do now when I start reading a new story is I look at their comments from the first five chapters. I see how long it took for people to comment, etc...

I feel a little better knowing that it took some stories CHAPTERS before people were pouring in to read them.

Also, I look at my story, knowing it's going to be long as all hell, and at chapter 8, we've just gotten started... so I figure if I'm not getting comments it's because I have yet to give people a reason to comment.

Just something to think about.
