A place for me to keep track of the stories I read. I don't mean to offend anyone with my rambles or posts. Before I go on further; I would like to thank the authors for putting up their stories.
A quick warning. Some of my rambles (or even the way I label the posts) may contain spoilers. The rambles are my way of leaving myself a trail to follow in the future, if I want to reread the story (there are some that I read again and again and again...)

His Own Personal Brand of Heroine
Summary: When Edward Cullen first arrived in Hollywood, he didn't have a clue; four years later, and he still doesn't. It's a good thing his personal assistant is Bella Swan. This fic was written in honor of my pre-reader, K's, birthday. BxE, HEA
Ramble: A fun one-shot with Edward as an actor, and how Bella helps him. A perfect quick read with some giggles. Some of the things this Edward does...

Acrobat Angels
Summary: She's an acrobat Angel and he's a famous actor that keeps his private life secret. What happens when he shows up at an exclusive viewing of her show?
Ramble: A fun super short story. This is a pretty memorable story focusing on an acrobat scene as well as mentions of how it is like a small family. In this, there are mentions of how Edward is a successful actor, but nothing big happens because of that detail. So, no crazy fans interrupting, just Edward having a lot of people around him, and the fact that he has to be careful of what information the public gets about him.

The Stand In
Summary: When you start in porn, there's really nowhere else to go but up. Bella, a young Hollywood hopeful, finds herself on the lowest rung of the film business ladder…porn. One-shot.
Ramble: A quick story that I first thought was a different story. I thought that this was a different story after reading the summary, but was surprised at how this covers a similar type of story. A story of people standing in and have some fun on set, not knowing that the cameras were rolling while everyone else left for lunch.

La Dolce Vita: Hollywood Living
Summary: What happens when newly divorced, mother of one, Bella meets mega movie star Edward dealing with a full life of his own? Can they make their love work in the crazy town called Hollywood? All Human, Canon Pairings, some OCC
Ramble: Lots of twists and turns. Bella is newly divorced, while Edward's wife died in an accident. Right as things seem to be going good, things change. Some for the better, some for the worse. I found some of the background talk (the things happening behind the scenes during filming) and descriptions to be pretty interesting. Personally, I was expecting the story to end a little later, and from what I can tell, the author was going to continue with the story for a bit, but then decided not to.

A Different Cinderella Story
Summary: Lily McManus lives with her evil Stepmom and sisters who are always giving her hassle, ever since her dad died nothing has been the same. One day online though she stumbles across a chatroom and meets a guy named MacMan.. could he be her Prince Charming?
Ramble: A little different. Instead of high school, this story takes place in combination between university and real life. Lots of similarities to the movie. Closet writer along with creator of Family Guy (I didn't know that till the middle of the story).

The Port Angeles Players
Summary: New in the town of Forks and eager to please her boss at the university, Bella auditions for a local production of Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing". Her co-star is a handsome but confusing local doctor. Is it curtains-up on love? AU/AH Canon pairing
Ramble: School is more for the fact that the story kind of gets the acting started through a school setting. The theater is an awesome place to be when people are putting a production together, and this story really reminded me of that fun energy (even though I prefer the backstage area more than actually being on stage). I have to admit that there are quite a few twists and turns in the road, and quite a few of them did not really turn out the way I first thought they would.

A Slip of the Tongue
Summary: A chance meeting on an airplane and a slip of the tongue. Who knew saying something so wrong could make everything so right?
Ramble: Talk about an awkward situation. I have to say, that I love the Cullen family that is described in this story. Almost like the whole family is involved in one thing, but add to it a little differently. We watch as Edward and Bella meet, and get to know each other.

Batteries Not Included
Summary: Bella Swan is single, in her late 30's and wishes she could turn back the hands of time to win over her much younger boss, big shot movie star, Edward Cullen. One night out leads Bella's inner cougar to surface.
Ramble: The summary gives really good hints, and overall feel of the story. It is on the short side, so things move really quickly. This seems to be the author's first story (at least on fanficiton) and it is really well written. A fun read, especially if wanting the kind where something pretend turns into reality.

In Your Eyes
Summary: VDay One Shot: Bella Swan and Edward Cullen are starring in the remake of Say Anything. Their attraction is obvious. Where will their chemistry come from during the pivotal backseat sex scene? AH-ExB- Rated M because that's what one shots are for.
Ramble: A fun story about the behind the scenes when making a movie. Interesting to see how a project can pull people together. There are other stories where an actor and actress are really having sex while pretending for the camera, but I really like how this one offers some more background for the characters.

Unthinkable Oneshot
Summary: Bella Swan 22 years old and a virgin. Tired of the teasing of her best friends, she decides it is time to let it go. As her and her friends plan to go to the club Friday night, Bella is womanized by someone she least expects it. Language&Lemons!
Ramble: A really fun story, that partly does not really make sense to me, but I still really like it. The thing I do not really get, is why the name stood out (look at the label)... Other than that, the story is well written.

At First Sight
Summary: Bella, a personal assistant to Edward Cullen, has always hated Christmas. Can he show her the beauty of the season? ENTRY into the Baby It's Cold Outside O/S Contest
Ramble: While reading the story, I thought the story should/would have been longer than it really is. The story line and plot is rather simple, but really good. For me, it was kind of similar to what the summary hinted at, but there is a lot of room and potential for adding more to the story eventually.

A Quiet Place
Summary: Edward, a famous actor, and Bella, a workaholic, are both looking for a quiet place. Can they find that place in each other? Entry into the Baby It's Cold Outside O/S Contest Rated M for Lem
Ramble: This story highlights how famous people are constantly hounded once recognized. For me, Bella in this case is like a wake up call to followers. A lot of times, followers forget that the famous people are human beings also, and sometimes needs their own space and privacy.
Monday, July 26, 2010
Summary: It's Edward's birthday and his brothers have decided to take him out for a 'Guy's Night'. Edward isn't happy when he finds out that this means a strip club. What will he tell his wife when he get's home? This is a one-shot that I wrote for fun!
Ramble: A good old getting in trouble because of friends/family. Gotta admit that there seem to be more and more strip club stories popping up lately. To really get the full effect of the story, just go read, and make sure not to look at how this post is labeled... Really, don't look until you are done, or else it ruins the story.

On the Double
Summary: It's Bella's first day on the job as a body double in the new Edward Masen film. First up? The sex scene...O/S for the Haiti Compilation. Rated M for lemons. AH
Ramble: An interesting find to add to this list of stories I have read. An interesting view of what may actually be going on when people are filming sex scenes in movies. Makes me wonder how many sex scenes are real...

Training the Cullen
Summary: Movie star Edward Cullen is sent to Seattle Crime Lab to train for his next role. A one night stand with an alluring woman rocks his world but not as much as finding out she's his mentor, she dosen't remember him, and she's nothing like he thought-EPOV/MA
Ramble: A long but really worth the read. After reading this, I feel like I want to add forensics back onto my 'maybe want as a job' list. Some parts that were a little odd/creepy, but it is not that bad. There are movies, and shows that present things more graphically. The references and changes in the plot really allows readers to imagine it in 'the real world'. Not everything is perfect, and everything has its own problems. I seriously lucked out when I found this story.

Fateful Valentine
Summary: Bella Swan has just won the trip of a lifetime. She's about to fly to the UK to interview Edward Cullen, the lead actor in the Werewolf film 'In the Night'. A trip which teaches her that sometimes when things go wrong, they can turn out even better.
Ramble: The story has actor Edward and Jasper, with Irish Bella and Alice. This is another quick read for anyone short on time. The plot is simple, and ties the story together well, while leaving space for the author to continue with the story if they want to.

I am Edward Cullen's Fiancée
Summary: “What exactly do you want me to do?" "You would be working as my fiancée." “Fiancée? Is this some sort of a joke? Am I on TV? Who would hire someone to act as his fiancée?” “Me.”
Ramble: This story is an interesting mix of a famous actor Edward, and a simple student Bella. The whole gang is human, while the main couple is Edward and Bella, there is also mention of the other couples.
