There is a Light by @belladcullen

This was 1987; before the Internet, before Twitter, before Facebook – this was back when it was still possible for people not to know about things: big things - like bands, and little things - like G-spots. AH, ExB, with some other parings along the way.


Pure poetry.
I was intrigued by this story because of the premise.
I liked this story because of the characters.
I loved this story because of the lyrical prose.

I've said it a few times since I started reading... this is by far one of the most well-written and beautifully fluid tales I have ever read. And I read a lot. A-LOT!

Bella is an abandoned young girl in love with a rockstar and treading hard to keep her head above storm wracked waters. Edward is a spiraling manic depressive whose music is his outlet in a mind filled with pain.

Truly, this is one of the finest, emotional, passionate, and beautifully painful stories I have ever read. I was stunned and shocked, I was awed and entertained. It has all the things you need in a good story. Music, characterization, drama, laughter, sex, pain, and pleasure. It's all wrapped in poetic lines and lyrics.

Please, go read. <3 Rain

Now Complete! Set Fire to the Rain by @Sunshinegal3

My first attempt at a teaser banner. Not the worst, but I'll leave it to the professionals!
So my beta and writing partner, Sunshinegal3, has hit the complete button on her fic, Set Fire to the Rain. This is a dramatic, angsty tale of Addictward and Counselorella. It is frought with pain, sadness, and turmoil, but if you look beyond the hurt, you can see the sun peeking out from behind the storm. If anything, this story is one of hope and forgiveness. It was a pleasure to beta and I was sad to see it end. I'm still working on her on doing a few outtakes.
Go take a look and tell her Rain sent you! <3

With Or Without You

I actually have a story for you, you might not have heard of... they do still exist. Looking at the chapter vs review ratio I did not have high hopes for this story. Color me surprised and happy when it's actually a good story.
It moves really fast, which some may have a problem with, but to me it's still a good read.

Bella has no verbal/social filter, so you just now I identify with her. Edward is cool guy, the fedora is a thing we've never seen before. ;) The mystery surrounding him gets known pretty fast, you might even figure it out yourself. I did.

Edward is a sexy bartender with a secret that makes him run at the first sign of trouble. Bella has a sarcastically smart mouth that both infuriates and intrigues him. *2011 Summertime Avant Garde Award Winner for Best Realistic Lemon!*

Hope the author doesn't mind I took it upon myself to make a banner. :/
Peace Out!
