Hidden Star Winners Posted

I think this happened a while ago and I totally missed it, but I thought since three of us were nom’d for the award you’d be interested in who the winners were.  None of us won, but we were up against some pretty stiff competition if you ask me. 

 

Congrats to all the winers, and thanks to all those who voted!

ThatPanicGirle's working with Decode Banners

I was recently recruited to work with Decode Banners to create banners and blinkies for the members of TwiFandom. Bonnie has been a doll and I'm excited to be working with her. If you ever need anything, just check out the website and submit your ideas to us. We'll be more than glad to help.

ALSO:

My banner is done for my new story, "Driving in Moonshine."

It features Edward, Jasper and Emmett as Moonshine runners in the 1940s. They originally started out to make money for their family and found themselves in a huge heap of trouble with the law, and with a rival gang of moonshiners. Edward tries to balance working with his family and obtaining a new love in his life.

I hope to have the completed chapter posted very soon.

Thanks so much for everyone's support.

To inspire the Cupcake Wars contestants

I was going through the interwebz and decided to find pictures of sexy cupcakes for you ladies (and possible gentlemen) to use as your inspiration for the contest.

Are you a Twific writer? – Southern Twinights Blog and Podcast

Ok guys, I’m using the blog to pimp my stuff.  In case you missed it, I’m starting a new blog and podcast, starring some of your favorite Southern girls from Team Fire and Ice as well as a few more you may not have met yet.  The idea I had was to start a blog/podcast for and about Twific writers.  I’ve seen a million blogs for readers, but very few to offer help and support to the writers out there. 

All of us need some help from time to time.  It could be as simple as needing a human thesaurus and as complex as looking for a beta or figuring out how to get started in this whole mad fanfiction business.

We’re just getting started right now with a few blog posts, and our first podcast will be coming soon.  Stop on by and give it the once over.

Can you guess what ThatPanicGirlE's new story is about?

I'll just put it to you this way... what do Hwy. 9, hollow trees, fast cars and the 1940s all have in common?



Driving in the Moonshine
ThatPanicGirlE

The year was 1943 and the cars were fast and the girls weren’t, but Jasper, Emmett and I were having the time of our lives.

The biggest bounty of our lives just came up and we weren’t about to back out of this one. We knew the consequences but our eyes were on the prize and the payout would be worth it.

My baby, a black 1940 Ford coupe was paid for by 'still money and it was fast. It was the fastest car out there and not only could it outrun the law, it could beat out any car on the road trying to reach the same goal. We were known for not only being fast, but being crafty. Only Emmett has been caught and it was his own fault. He learned from his mistake and now keeps a keen eye out for me.

I remember how we got mixed up into this crazy world of booze and money. Momma and Daddy almost lost our farm when they couldn’t pay the taxes on the land that had been in our family for generations. When started working with a farmer up the road, I discovered his shine still by accident one night and instead of dealing with a double barrel shotgun in my face, I promised him I would run his goods down into the Carolinas and Florida.

My brothers, Jasper and Emmett, came on board once they discovered how much money we would make. Momma and Daddy never said a word about the cash. I think they were grateful for not worrying about feeding us and how they would pay for farming supplies.

“Edward, please tell me you put enough gas in this car this time,” Emmett said as we fled down the road. We were being followed by two state troopers. They knew what we were up to and I was patiently waiting for the lights to flip on and the chase to begin. They knew though, once my Coupe hit the state line, they had no control over me anymore.
