Fics turned Paperback and Beauty Products I adore

It's exciting when I hear that one of my favorite fics will be published. Even if I don't plan on ever doing a re-read of a favorite fic of mine I still would like to own a paperback or hardback copy of ALL of my favorite fics.  If you are interested in finding published fics you can click here  to find all the published fandom you need.

I have three beauty product recs tonight. 

MAC plushglass lipgloss in "Nice Buzz"
I cant say enough about this lip gloss. It makes a fantastic nude lip and goes great with a smoky eye or the natural look. It doesn't have a superb stay factor but the look, feel and hard to find color make this product well worth my $13 bucks. You can find it at any MAC counter.

Redken Blonde Glam Pure Pearl Conditioner
I've had a hard time getting my fingers through my hair, after shampooing, for the longest time now. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to run out of my favorite products and waste money on crap that claims to be amazing but just doesn't work. This Redken product is ideal if you're a blonde with medium to long hair. It only takes a nickel size spot to slide your fingers through after washing.  If you aren't a blonde, no fear, Biolage hydrating conditioner is remarkable and will give you the same silky results for around the same price of $18.00. 

Almay liquid eyeliner in black noir
This eyeliner is so amazing that I would put a guarantee on it myself.  If you prefer a dark, shiny, liquid eyeliner, that doesn't smudge and stays put from morning 'til night, then you've found your ideal product in Almay's black noir liquid eyeliner. For three years I have applied this product at 7:30 am and it stays put until I remove it before bed. I love it. Do yourself a favor and skip the $32.00 designer liquid liners and shell out a sweet $8.00 for this one at any Wal-mart, Target, CVS or Walgreens instead. It is superb.

For those that aren't scared of the dark

From time to time I need a little DarkWard in my life. I decided to check The Wayward Pushers blog tonight and I noticed the ARCHIVES link. I was impressed to find a list of fics, organized by WARDS < brilliant, when I clicked the link.
So, I browsed the list of wards and decided to click on one of my favorite wards, Darkward. They had an entire list of fics that are sure to give you a darkward fix and here are three fics, that I can guarantee, will NOT let you down, on your hunt for Darkward. These three are super stars when it comes to fanfiction.

Bella's blood was just too tempting to be ignored. While Edward drags her around the world, barely keeping a step ahead of his frantic family, Bella battles the monster for possession of the gentler vampire inside her captor. EPOV. Rated M-violence/sex

I personally loved this fic.  It was one of those fics that involved me to where I didn't want to put it down but didn't get extremely bitchy and bothered when I absolutely had to either.  I've read fics that make me insane like Hit by Destiny by OCDmess but with this one, I was able to keep a pleasant attitude while enjoying my addiction to the fiction. I hope that makes sense to some of you out there LOL.

Bella Swan is content with her career and her new life in London but feels that there is still something missing. Will a chance encounter with sinister yet intriguing stranger hold the answer to what she truly desires? AU. Rated M for lemony reasons.

Incubus: a sex demon that visits women in the deep dark of the night. Edward relies on his special gifts to consume his prey. What happens when he meets the one woman immune to his unique abilities? M for dark lemons and dark themes

After you get some Incubus Anomaly you should check out the band Incubus. Incubus is one of my favorite bands. Brandon Boyd, the lead singer, will sing you into oblivion with his divine, poetical, romantic lyrics and sensual voice. I've had the pleasure of seeing Incubus live and they are nothing short of amazing. I've inserted a little vid of Incubus acoustic version of a little song "Drive" you might remember from WAYYYYY back in the day<3


If you get a chance, stop by The Writers Coffee Shop Publishing House and browse their collection of published fiction.  You can purchase "Mocked by Destiny" by Michele Richard there. Michele is an avid fanfiction author and reader and one our TLS Ladies, show her some love and read the summary of her book below.


Mocked by Destiny by Michele Richard
For Stella Richards, life in the charming town of Virginia Beach is not as magical as one would think. Sun, fun, and sand only guarantee one thing, unwanted visitors. Stella learned long ago to never befriend anyone visiting the beach. They're here; then they're gone, drifting in and out as the tide ebbs and flows. She vowed to never connect with anyone, vacationing in Virginia Beach, - until spring break. Stefan changed everything.
Stefan Sterling lives life never knowing where he will end up next. Bouncing from one Military base to another has hampered his ability to connect to those around him. That's what happens when your father is a high-ranking officer in the military. Raised in a world of discipline, control, and strangers, Stefan never expected to find anyone he'd want to be close to...let alone love.
A family curse verses a loving abnormality promises to keep Stella and Stefan on their toes. Was it an accident or could it be destiny? Will they be able to survive their families? And, is there ever a time when you can fully let go of the person who awoke your soul?
A story of love, sacrifice, and growing up before it's time.

Missing Votes?

If you've been keeping up with the poll this week, you probably noticed half of the votes are missing as of this afternoon. Last night the total vote count was 106 and the bottom three fics were in the lead. Today I
logged in and found the total votes to be 56.  I knew that wasn't right so I opened up a new browser and reloaded the blog.  The total votes were down to 52.
I'm not sure what was going on or is going on with it but it seems to be counting up again.
I apologize to everyone that is featured in the poll and everyone that took the time to vote. I'm hoping it is just a glitch and will be right again by the time voting ends on Saturday at 4:00 pm EST.

Thanks so much to all TLS followers!

Trixie Traci's Tuesday Fic Recs

A NOTE FROM TRIXIE TRACI

Here are a few under the radar fics with the TrixieTraci seal of approval

Pigtails by Tenley Einde 
 "I just don't want this to be over. I know it should be. Hell, I just gave you a list of reasons why I should walk away." Will he give in to her teasing ways, or will he take the advice of a friend,
"Just one word, E. Jailbait."? AH/OOC/BxE

So, you should know my FAVE type of story is older Edward/ younger Bella. I feel like such a pedo, but obviously I'm not the only one, haha. This one is REALLY pushing it because Bella is only sixteen and Edward is twenty nine. It's really interesting & well written, though.
Bella's a good kid, if not something of a Lolita. ;)

Leading Lady by EllTeeEm
 Bella wants to get under Edward by being at the top of his class. Can she win his love and the starring role?
 Another older Edward /younger Bella story. Bella is a student and Edward is her teacher.
 I think it's really well written and doesn't have nearly enough reviews. The author posts outfits for each chapter on her blog (which is listed on her profile) and I just DIE every time I see Edward's outfits.
I can SO picture him wearing them, all casually professional and HOT.

Forbidden Attraction by SunshineGal3
At eighteen, Bella Swan has the world at her fingertips. She has the perfect
boyfriend, amazing friends, and a scholarship to her first choice
college. Everything she thinks she knows about life will be challenged when
an older man comes into her world.

 This is angsty and you will wonder HOW the f**k Bella can be so naive.
The older guy is James and he's obviously a master manipulator.

Peaches by hyacinthgirl18 
 Though they'd been lab partners all year, Bella and Edward had yet to study the chemical connection between themselves. A brief but intense encounter changes everything before they separate, though. Plot Bunny Contest Entry. M for fruity situations.

 Awesome 3 shot if you want something sort of quick to read. Amazingly written.
