The Southern Fanfiction Review

I am honored and touched. Sandy, from The Southern Fanfiction Review Blog, took the time to say a little something about "Made in the Shades" Click here to read the post. I feel so special that she has the confidence in me to review a WIP.

Thanks, Sandy!

(Sandy's on twitter @Sgs115)

I also snagged these pics from the blog, as they really do capture the essence of Edward in the latter chaps of "Made in the Shades"

*wipes drool*

This one is my favorite ^^

He's SO Elvis in this. . . *sigh*

Thanks for the 1950s-style Rob-Porn, Sandy!!

MAL has said this quite a few times, but I'd just like to say a HUGE thank you! 

She's almost at her goal, and it's because all of you have pulled out all the stops and made it happen. The generosity and kindness is astounding. Together, we can make a difference, and we HAVE made a difference. On a personal note, I've heard some people talk badly about the Twi-Fic-Fandom, and on some days I can too. But, this goes to show that we really do have some amazing people within it. I am touched and so happy Mal and Leo are that much closer to meeting, and having their HEA. 

I ONLY do HEAs because I'm a wimp, and this will be no different. I am dedicated and I strive to bring awareness to many of you! So, if you find my multiple posts to be bothersome, I apologize. . . just know, I'd do it for you. 

I'm not giving up, and neither is MAL! So let's get her to her goal! Woot Woot! 

:) 

Sincerely, 

Lexi

A fellow Twific author needs our help. Mostly A Lurker is still suffering the effects of a serious workplace injury from several years ago. She's in the process of obtaining a service dog to help her with her daily routine and provide companionship. Mal has found a wonderful collie and a qualified trainer; now all she needs is to cover the costs. You can help! Please visit her BLOG  to find out more info, and see photos of Leo - he's a very handsome dude.

You don't have to donate money. Airline or hotel miles would help, too!

No matter what you donate, you'll get a great compilation of stories from some amazing authors:

Anais Mark, Bella Flan, eddiebell69, justduckie, Sebastien Robichaud, Lady Tazz, Mrs. The King, Exqusite Edward, DeJean Smith, Morgan Locklear, Sarita, wmr1601, javamomma, Duskwatcher, yellowglue, Savage and (me) SexyLexiCullen.

Please consider donating to bring Mal and Leo together. This will go a long way to improve Mal's quality of life. 

It doesn't matter how much or what you donate. Mostly A Lurker is more than happy with anything you can give.

There are many amazing authors lined up to write as well, and you will receive the entire compilation, even if you donate a dollar. For ever-growing list of authors: CLick Here

The Quiet Storm outtake I plan to write will NEVER be posted for the public. Partly because I feel so strongly about this cause and I really hope you'll help her out. I want those who donate to feel they've obtained something special, and that's why I'll never post the outtake publicly. Sorry. To those who donate, if you have an idea that you would like to read/see and it's not posted on the poll, please send me a PM.

Consider me a writer for hire/CHARITY :)

ATTN: Instructions Not Included fans/readers! Want more? I have donated an outtake, which takes place about a month after the epilogue. It stars Alex, but ALL the Cullens are present. It has been donated to Fandom for Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. For more information on how to donate to read: CLICK HERE Again, for SO little that can go a long way, you get a lot in return.

MAL and Leo's HEA

EVERYONE! PLEASE! READ! THIS! 

MAL AND LEO'S HEA

RE: @Mostlyalurker

Good evening! It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you all this evening. Within this fandom, we write and donate to causes, mostly for disasters and unfortunate events that plague cities, towns, states, and countries. But, rarely do we donate to help our own--the people within this fandom that could use our help. As a fandom, I believe we should look out for one-another, especially if one of us are in need. 

I've recently been made aware of @MostlyALurker's heartbreaking story. Her story touched me, and since last night I have done everything within my power to help out. I donated money, my time, and, next, I plan to donate a one-shot.

Being that Quiet Storm is the most popular of my stories, I plan to donate an outtake of your choice. Was there ever a circumstance or a scene that you wished was longer, that you obtained more information on? Through you guys, the ones who donate, I leave the choice up to you. 

Consider me, a writer for hire. 

The amount of your donation is of no significance. The more the better, but @MostlyALurker is more than grateful for whatever you can contribute. 


So far,

• Anais Mark
• Bella Flan

So please, please, please, please help us out! 

Once you donate, please get back to me and let me know what you'd like to read. This outtake is for only those who donate. I hate to be a stickler, but I WILL NOT post said outtake for the public, ever--just because...well, I really want @MostlyALurker to get the help she needs. And combined, I hope we help to raise her enough money 

Please don't think me horrible. I have spent hours, days, months...writing for this fandom, and I love it and do it for nothing. We don't pay to read fanfiction, but this time, I am asking you...Please! She needs the help!

Thank you for your time.
