I know we've been slacking a bit lately but RL has been kinda busy for all of us involved. New jobs, new babies, new houses,... you get what I'm saying.

But we're still trying to help you find a fic you're searching (and post your fic for Undiscovered Gems) if you email us. 

And that is what our reader Jessica did. Here is what she's looking for

Hey.

I'm not sure if you're still doing this but I am going mental over this one fic... Well two.

1. It's pride and prejudice twilight style except it's in epov.

2. I'm pretty sure it was called Sub plans but jic I was wrong. E and b have a d/s relationship. (Subward) Edward is a vamp and I'm pretty sure they call him 'icefinger' or something... Help? Was it taken down? And if it was can I still read it somehow?

So, if you know either of these fics. Leave a comment, email us or send us a tweet. We love to help. =) 

Sue's interview with Perry Maxwell about her fic "Unrequited"

Unrequited

AH, BPOV: Edward left Bella almost a year ago, upending her whole world. What happens when Bella receives a phone call that just might shatter it? "Wait, Alice…Edward is dying?" I choked out.

Hi! 

I know it has been a while but we’ve been a little wrapped up with the holidays and real life things that reading and actually typing out a review took a back seat. I will do my best to get some done with the things I have been reading.

I know this writer from chatting on Twitter and because she is a Beta for several stories I read and love. This is her first story as a writer and it is captivating.

This is not your typical “they meet and fall in love” thing. Here we come into the story at what seems to be the end of their relationship. He leaves her, says he does not love her. As the story unwinds we find out how close they were, how much in love they were and how she questions everything they ever had. You are going to want to slap him silly because of the way he acts. He is not sympathetic till you find out more about what is going on.

What can explain his massive change? Bella knew he had a brain tumor, can that be the cause of the change? Why did his family, that professed so much love for her, abandon her? 

What I like about this story is that it shows a woman who has had her confidence in everything. She knew shaken. It is one thing to say "well a confident woman would____" but to have everything you had faith in suddenly taken away from her and to have to rebuild herself and her life it is devastating to watch. 

I love how you feel real sympathy for this Bella. I love how lovable she is. You just want to take her home, make her brownies, wrap her in a warm blanket and say “it is OK honey he is an ass!”

And this Bella has a friend that kinda does this (he is a guy so he does not bake her brownies). Her friend is Jamie (yes, James is a good guy). He is a brother like figure in her life and I adore him! 

So my suggestion to you if you enjoy a well written story where you have no idea from chapter to chapter if you want to slap Edward or feel bad for him, where you can feel comfortable liking Bella, where James is a good guy, then you will LOVE this read. Give it a shot and let me know if you agree with me! 

Now on to the interview:

Sue's interview with Perry Maxwell about her fic "Unrequited"

Happy Birthday SUE!

Today is a monumental day in the life of the SYTYCW Blog. Without this day the blog probably wouldn’t exist. No, I’m not talking about the anniversary of the end of prohibition (although there are times when our good friend, Vodka, have contributed to the creation of some of our posts. I kid, I kid), I’m talking bigger than that. Yes, my friends and dear readers, today is the anniversary of the Birth of Sue (henceforth shall be known as BoS).

Now the BoS has some historical significance, like, did you know that in direct correlation to the BoS, punctuation as we know it became obsolete? Yes, according to the Law of Sue (henceforth shall be known as LoS) punctuation actually does not exist. And if you don’t believe me, then you haven’t corresponded with Sue on Twitter or via email or, god forbid, have ever edited anything she’s written.

Another piece of history documented with the BoS is the ability to be the one woman in a house full of men. Well, obviously, this didn’t happen until much later but eventually Sue surrounded herself with six handsome men who waits on her hand and foot.

*whispers*

What? That’s not how it works at Sue’s house? Well what’s the point in surrounding yourself with six handsome men if they don’t fan you and feed you grapes all day? Well, that is SO Sue, isn’t it? Self-sacrificial and motherly to the core. What other woman do you know is a stay at home mom to five boys and still has time to have tweeted over 100,000 times since joining Twitter? Sue. Who else manages to get her four older boys off to school on time, her youngest to speech therapy, potty training, and make sure there’s a home cooked meal for dinner. That’s right, Sue.

Thank you Sue for being a superwoman, a supermom and a superfriend. We love you. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday SUE!

Find That Fic

It's time for our last post for the year! Are you all as excited for 2012 as I am?

So here is what we're looking for in our last Find That Fic of 2011.

Dear SYTYCW,

I read this fic couple of months ago and the storyline is something like this:

Bella lived with Renee and sort of had a crush to Jasper. Short before her 16th or 17th birthday, Renee gave her a 1 way ticket (from Aro) to Volterra to visit and stay with him. 

When she arrived there, she was placed in her own castle/house and Aro played a "matchmaker" by assigning Edward as her bodyguard. Both Aro & Edward were vampire. 

In reality, Bella was Aro's daughter and she plotted her escape plan by tempting Edward to bite her and turned her into vampire before her birthday. 

In the end she became a vampire and chose Edward as her body guard to accompany her traveling around the world.

Kindly indentify the title of this fic. It's a completed series. Many thanks!!!

PS: wish u a belated Merry Christmas & wish u a bit too early Happy New Year *cheers* ^_^ v

You all know the deal by now. If you have any idea which story we're looking for comment on the post, email us or tweet us. Take care!

Sue's interview with GrayMatters about her fic 'Til I Said it to You'

Til I Said it to You

She's a serial rescuer with a history of adopting strays. He's selfish and arrogant, cut loose by his family to find himself. Will Bella fall for his act, or will Edward find more than he bargained for? AH/OOC M for language & lemons.

Twilight - Rated: M - English - Drama/Romance - Chapters: 9 - Words: 37,738 - Reviews: 624 - Updated: 11-29-11 - Published: 10-3-11 - Bella & Edward

You ever read one of those fics where Eddie boy is a spoiled brat adult and you say WTF why are his parents still supporting his stupidity? Why are they whining about how he should better himself and see the gifts he was born into and yet they do nothing to encourage his change in behavior? WELL in this story Eddie boy is spoiled brat adult but his parents decide that instead of supporting his self destructive behavior they are gonna cut him off.


He has to get a job on his own merit, support himself on a budget, find a place to live. Their hope is that by living like the rest of the world their spoiled son will gain some empathy (or is sympathy? I can never keep those straight)


Enter Bella. Single mom, student, working a crap job trying to deal with baby daddy and his new love of his life while raising a kid. And her new neighbor is yup Edward.


I know I make this sound like a fandom cliche but I'm being honest when I say this to me is a well written fresh take on this scenario.


They do not have the instant connection,
They do not have unrealistic monsters in their closet.
What they have is real life issues that are being dealt with in a real life way and I love it.
