![]() Author has written 4 stories for Twilight. Note 16th October 2011: I really enjoyed writing fanfic, especially Guns and Roses, and being part of this amazing fandom, and thank you so much to everyone who reviewed or messaged me with such encouraging words. While I still love receiving reviews, I'm afraid I'm no longer an active member of the Twilight fandom (or any fandom) community, and as such I rarely check my fanfic email account, similarly my twitter is woefully inactive. I therefore apologise to anyone to whose review or message I did not reply, but thank you none the less, it is always wonderful to hear from someone who's enjoyed something I've written. :) Thank you to everyone who voted for me in The Make It Count Contest. I took a wonderful second place, which was completely unexpected but much appreciated! BITTENEV, whom many of you will know for the legendary Stitches and Scars, has written a recommendation for Guns and Roses on the Lazy Yet Discerning Ficster blog, for which I will love her for all eternity. Please go over and have a look - there are loads of really great articles and they clearly have good taste in stories ;) lol. The lovely Orioncat has been so kind as to recommend Guns and Roses in one of her Twilight videos on Youtube and she was really nice to me! Go and check it out here and spread the smiling :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Huge thanks to my amazing beta, Cullenista. Her story, Blue Moon Over Manka's, is such an inspiration and if you haven't already, you really should check out her stuff. You can find her in my favourite authors :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GUNS AND ROSES FORUM: I have recently started a thread over on Twilighted.net about this story - go ahead and check it out. I might even post a teaser there now and again ;D (if you want one, of course). GUNS AND ROSES PHOTO ALBUM: I also now have a photo album for Guns and Roses containing pictures that I think give you a flavour of the time and the nature of the war. Here is the link to the song mentioned in Chapter 15 (Gone, Gone Again). It is 'The Scientist' by Coldplay and it is one of my favourite songs EVER. I also highly recommend the video (after you've finished reading the chapter, of course). I'm like a walking advertisement ;) I also recommended a song for Chapter 23 (For All We Have And Are) - 'Over The Rainbow' by Eva Cassidy. It is so beautiful, and if you haven't heard it before then you're really missing out. It never fails to move me. This is the song I was rabbiting on about in my author's note for Chapter 28 (The Redeemer) - 'Hallelujah' by Leonard Cohen. Go listen to it; it's absolutely gorgeous. Link to the article about The Unknown Warrior (Epilogue). Also, the song I was talking about is 'Fields Of Gold' by Eva Cassidy. Go listen, now! It makes me cry. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ARMAS Y ROSAS - Guns and Roses is now in Spanish! contiis has been doing a great job translating it so if you'd prefer to read it in that language, head over there. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The chapter names for Guns and Roses are the titles of great war poems and so I thought it was only fair that the poets got some recognition for their genius :) Here are the titles and links below if you want to read them.
