This Love Chapter 1, a gilmore girls fanfic Okay, so basically I've been getting really Lit-heavy on Tumblr (again) and took a prompt about rewriting the ending of 4x12. You know, Jess in his car shivering to death, Rory's there a bit. This is what I came up with. Cheers to Tumblr user theresnobackstage who may or may not be on , this was so much fun. This Love Unable to sleep with the wind howling, Rory Gilmore suddenly realised how cold she was. She was trying not to think about him, honestly. He deserved her hatred, she knew he would agree to that. About halfway she realised her car was parked outside her mother's house, with its heater and tank full of gas. The car came in sight then, a blight on the idyllic surrounds of a Stars Hollow winter. He looked so tiny in the backseat of his broken car, curled up into a ball. "You're going to die out here." "Guess this town is getting a late Christmas present then." "Stars Hollow hasn't suffered a death from hypothermia in over two hundred years. "Not everyone," she heard him mutter.
The Sidhe By: Chris Welsh - Updated: 4 Dec 2012| *Discuss From the Phooka to the Leprechaun the Sidhe have provided the grist for story and song for centuries for the Irish people. The Sidhe Myth The words “Sidhe” (roughly pronounced—and sometimes spelled—“Shee”) and “fairy” are almost interchangeable. The Origin of the Sidhe Myth The origin of the Sidhe myths are closely tied to the ancient history of Ireland. Perhaps because of the gap in sophistication between the Tuatha De’ Danann and the other populations, many legends and superstitions began to spring up concerning the newcomers. Now all the supplies had been laid in store for the poets and storytellers of Ireland to use in creating the stories of the Sidhe. Final Thoughts The legends and myths of the Sidhe are countless and creative, and all carry with them a reverence to times long passed. You might also like...

Redemption - dareyoutoread - Mad Max Series (Movies), Mad Max: Fury Road Chapter Text The car pulls up to the Citadel gates an hour after dawn. It’s a wreck - black smoke billows from the engine block; the left rear tire is shredded and flapping; it’s missing all but one of its doors and half the roof, and the sides are painted with blood and gore - giant, dust-covered splatters and a liberal smear that runs practically the length of the one remaining driver’s side door. The War Boys holler her down to the gate right away. Then a cry comes from the moving wreckage: “Furiosa!” It’s a kid driving the car, and he can’t be more than ten, she sees when he steps out onto the sand. “You Furiosa what drove the War Rig an’ smashed up ‘Mmortan Joe?” She nods, careful, so he can see it through the dust and the smoke. “You gonna' help us?” She nods again, slow, and lowers her weapon. “I’m going to come down and help. The boy jerks his head, sandy hair flapping. The car looks even worse from up close. The girl screams. “I’m sorry; I’m sorry. “You don’t want to go with them?”
Pretend You Scratch My Back, I'll Scratch Yours, a pretty little liars fanfic The Hastings were known for perfection, period. It wasn't just about academia or money or beauty or success; the Hastings had it all. That is, all of the Hastings except for Spencer. Spencer was a smart girl. Too smart for her own good, most adults said when she was a child. To most parents, that would be more than enough. So Spencer wasn't a heart-breaking-team-captain-prom-queen. Spencer didn't have the curves or the bouncy hair or the bright green eyes her sister had to even get a boy's gaze. Spencer had become accustomed to being alone in her room. Trying to protect herself from her parents, Spencer started to tell white lies over the years. She looked in the mirror and sighed. She flew downstairs, trying to avoid her parents, as usual. She made her typical stop at the tutoring center before class, and saw none other than Mr. "What can I help you with, Toby?" Toby was different. The one thing he was lacking, however, was the ability to focus in school. She sighed heavily. xx "What?"
How Living With and Loving Bruce Jenner Changed My Life Forever | Linda Thompson Editors’ note: Though Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, no longer uses her birth name and prefers female pronouns, she had not yet indicated at the time of this writing that she would like to be known by a new name or female pronouns, so this story refers to her as “Bruce” and uses male pronouns. By now, Bruce Jenner has revealed his struggle with gender dysphoria. I never would have dared to speak on this issue before he was comfortable enough to do so first. It is, after all, his truth, so I knew he should be afforded the dignity to reveal that truth on his own time and in the way he sees fit. I have respectfully kept his secrets private and would have taken his confidences to my grave had he not spoken out. But now, many years into his remarkable life, he has spoken out. So as much as this is about Bruce, it’s not all about him. Bruce’s story, and his struggle, is uniquely his; my experiences with Bruce are commensurately uniquely my own. I thought, “How charming and gallant!”
A guide to fanfiction for people who can't stop getting it wrong What is fanfiction? That’s the question magazine articles and TV segments have been attempting to answer for upwards of 40 years now, usually without doing much actual research into the topic. Maybe this was a valid question back when folks were still sliding Kirk/Spock zines under the tables at Star Trek conventions, but in the era of Fifty Shades of Grey (look, we had to namecheck it at some point) and Amazon’s licensed, for-profit fanfic publishing service, you’d think that fanfic explainer articles would be on the way out. Most millennials are at least vaguely aware of what fanfic is, and their parents can presumably just Google it like anyone else. Right? Not so much, apparently. And it’s not just fringe publications who get the whole concept of fandom wrong. So for anyone out there who has just been hired to explain the intricacies of fanfic culture to a confused and ill-informed audience, here are a few misconceptions we can get out of the way before you even start: -If you must…

Celtic Folklore - Daoine Sidhe Sidhe (pronounced 'shee') literally means "people of the (fairy) hills". It is the Gaelic name for the fairies in both Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland. Usually these fairies are attracted to those who are beautiful as well as wealthy. The people known as "The Sidhe" or people of the mounds, or "The Lordly Ones" or "The Good People" were descended from the "Tuatha de Danann" who settled in Ireland millennia ago and in being defeated by the Milesians they retreated to a different dimension of space and time than our own, believed to be living under mounds and fairy raths and cairns, and also the land of "Tír na nÓg" a mythical island to the west of Ireland. Down through the ages the Sidhe have been in contact with mortals giving protection, healing and even teaching some of their skills to mortals - Smithcraft or the working of metals being one such skill. The Gaelic word sí or síog refers to these otherworldly beings now called fairies.
Devil's Bride Chapter 4: Wiggle Room, a Harry Potter + Eyeshield 21 Crossover fanfic Drabble set featuring the start, the end, the ups and the downs of Youichi Hiruma's attempts and success of courting (re: blackmailing) Primrose Dorea Potter into being his girlfriend. I do not own Eyeshield 21, if I did... the games would be more interesting! There's only so many times I can see the same formula of a match before it gets old. Also, there would be more character exploration. Talking to the blond pest was... not so bad, she guessed. He certainly had a... way about him. Sipping at the red coloured sweet drink (pomegranate green tea – served chilled), she watched him with a wary eye and half an ear as he went about explaining American Football with almost fanatical enthusiasm, using salt-shakers, napkins, condiments, his cigarettes and lighter along with their empty dishes to explain the rules and player positions. "And you're the Quarter-Back? The blond pest nodded with a fanged grin, "Bin-goh," he drawled in his slurred Japanese accent. It was a tiny thing. Then she ran.
How To Write A Novel Using The Snowflake Method Writing a novel is easy. Writing a good novel is hard. That’s just life. If it were easy, we’d all be writing best-selling, prize-winning fiction. Frankly, there are a thousand different people out there who can tell you how to write a novel. In this article, I’d like to share with you what works for me. This page is the most popular one on my web site, and gets over a thousand page views per day, so you can guess that a lot of people find it useful. Good fiction doesn’t just happen, it is designed. For a number of years, I was a software architect designing large software projects. I claim that that’s how you design a novel — you start small, then build stuff up until it looks like a story. If you’re like most people, you spend a long time thinking about your novel before you ever start writing. But before you start writing, you need to get organized. Step 1) Take an hour and write a one-sentence summary of your novel. Some hints on what makes a good sentence: Shorter is better.
Tamora Pierce On The Reason Her Brilliant Books Haven’t Been Brought To The Screen (Yet) Tamora Pierce has written dozens of incredibly-beloved medieval fantasy books about young women doing amazing things. So why, in this era of wildly-successful YA and fantasy book adaptations, do Pierce’s books remain un-filmed? Pierce, who says she gets asked this all the time, had the following to say over on her LiveJournal about her characters’ lack of screen time: My film agent tells me that the largest barrier to my getting a film deal is one of the things my fans like best: the fact that, for 14 of my Tortall books, and 10 of my Circle books, there is a good chance the reader will encounter friends from the earlier books. Tragically, I don’t doubt that Pierce’s agent is correct; but that’s why I’ve always thought her books would work better as a TV show, anyways. To her credit, Pierce takes it all incredibly well. When I’m not writhing with envy, I actually don’t much mind. (via io9, image via Minuiko)
