New teacher and aspiring writer, Bella Swan, moves to Seattle. She finds fan-fiction-creation-inspiration in the attractive and surly playboy who lives in the upscale condo across from hers. As her newest on-line story, From Hate to Heat, develops so does a correspondence with a mysterious reader/reviewer of that story. Who, exactly is reading Bella's/bellybeans' fanfic? It's a case of art imitating life and life imitating art. A fan-fic within a fan-fic story with all the canon usuals. Hilarity/UST/Love and lemons.

This is not made for TV. This is the raw, brutal underground of no-holds-barred combat. Inside the cage there is nothing but me and the pain I inflict on those who dare enter. In the cage, I never had to worry about anyone but myself. When she started standing outside of it, everything changed. I was no longer fighting for the money or the glory – I had to fight for her.

What’s a girl to do when she determines that there aren’t any good men left?  She creates them.  Bella Swan was unlucky in love, so she started creating dream men in fiction.  She wrote about the kind of man she’d love to meet and fall in love with, and for the amount of time it took to write her romance novels, she felt like she had a love of her own.  It wasn’t real, but in her opinion, real love wasn’t something that was within her grasp, so the fantasy was better than nothing. 

One day, suffering from writer’s block, she went to the corner café for a change of scenery.  When a cowboy tripped over her purse, she was so captivated by his appearance, that she had inspiration for a new character in her latest book.  He walked away with only a few words in her direction, and all she had was the visual of his green eyes and wild hair to go on, but for her, it was enough to fuel her imagination.

The stars at night are big and bright…deep in the heart of Texas.  Life holds mysteries that one can never fathom, and maybe there’s such a thing as fate.  Maybe, every once in a while, fate gives a hand to a lonesome cowboy and a romantic at heart…sometimes with a little help from a rabbit.

AH/OOC.  Canon couples.  Rated NC-17 for a reason like always.  Saddle up…we’re going for a ride.

There's a dusty old bookstore in Seattle where the proprietor keeps odd hours and knows the location of every book in his stock.  What surprises hide in its stacks?

Isabella is a handmaid to Princess Jessica, Daughter of King Aro. When a knight from a neighboring kingdom wins his choice of bride, Sir Edward bypasses the princess and claims the handmaid instead. Isabella suddenly finds herself married to a man she does not know, and is tossed into the middle of political plots and scheming nobles. Her life is further turned upside down when she is unable to give her husband the one thing he must have.

"This is the hour of Forks' revenge. Volterra will fall to us for Aro's actions against your Queen, and no one – no one – who fights for Volterra will survive. We will not stop until every wall, every tower, every single structure in all of Volterra has been razed."

From the ashes of North America Volterran Empire has emerged. Divided into twelve districts, some of the horrors the opressed humans are forced to endure are universal, the weekly blood donations, the fear of being carted away for even a hint of treasonous behavior.

Others are unique to each District. In District 2, the children of the wealthy are given the best possible education money can buy. But they're educated for only one purpose: violence.

Violence they can use in the annual Morphing Games, in which two adolescents, sixteen through twenty, are sent to the capitol to fight for their lives and the ultimate prize: immortality.

My name is Bella Swan, and I'm a Prospective in the 100th Morphing Games. There's only one problem: I don't want to win.
