Not Her is AMAZING. This fic is getting Rec'd left, right and centre, by people who know where the good fic is at. But for some reason, this fic is totally ignored, even when rec'd.

WHY PEOPLE???

HI brings amazing writing talent to this story. It's a little 'What If' piece. What if Edward had saved her, but BIT her. Bella has to deal with the usual vampire stuff, and, well, y'know, the fact that she's in love with the guy who bit her. It's freaking amazing. And people better go read it, I'm about to be killed for doing this!

*cowers behind cushion*

So please, for the love of me, read it. Because it's amazing, and I love the author, because she beta'd me. Which makes her mighty cool in my eyes.

Not Her, by Heavens Immortal. READ IT!

is an amazing story by a talented author!

Title: If I Were

If I Were is a lovely little missing moment oneshot, set between Twilight and New Moon. It splits between BPOV and EPOV, and shows how each feels inadequate for the other. Bella is thinking of how she's simply human, and how she can't understand why Edward feels so much for her, because she's simply human. She wonders what would happen if she were a vampire.

Edward can't understand why Bella can love a monster like him. He wants to be human, to know what it's like to be totally dependant on others, to know what it's like to not be able to read minds, to have to eat, to drink, to sleep. He wants to know all this firsthand, not just hearing it from other's minds.

Justine Lark says that this story comes from the Beyoncé song, If I Were A Boy. You can see the longing in this story, just like the song. It's a truly remarkable piece.

The Big General Affiliate Post...

So...my email accounts have been busy with emails trying to get affiliates. Which I've successfully done! :) (forgive me if the html tags are bad, html is not my strong point!)

Twilighted is a quality controlled archive, which contains many amazing fics, all which have been checked for quality before posting. It's amazing, and is pun by Psymom (Stranger Than Fiction) and her group of brilliant betas!

The Lazy, Yet Discerning Ficster is a blog which recommends good quality fics of all ratings. They also have various different articles and regular columnists, all of whom write about an issue within the Twilight fandom. It's run by four amazing writers, Smellyia (Disaffected, When We Drove All Night), AngstGoddess003 (Wide Awake), Emibella (It's the Beaches) and Angel/EdwardZukoRocks (Creature of Habit)

These two sites are brilliant, and are well worth a look!

There'll be a new rec up on the blog either tomorrow or Friday, hope to see you again soon! :)

This fic isn't exactly under appreciated, but I haven't heard too much about it. It starts with a six year old Bella having been in a car accident, which tragically kills her parents, Renée and Charlie. Carlisle is the doctor who treats Bella, and is struck by her innocence. He and Esme take her in, ignoring the risks that a human living with vampires poses. What happens? Well...

Bella Hale is pure fluff. But it's fluff with a plot. It's the kind of story that makes you want to go and give it a lollipop and tuck it into bed using Barbie bedclothes. And read it something like Goodnight Moon. It's that kinda story. It makes you want to buy it a pony. And believe me, it's taken so many people under its spell, if the author asked for it, she'd receive it.

But it's realistic. Bella's reaction to finding out the Cullen's are vampires is exactly how it was in the books, except for the fact that she's only eight or so when it happens.

Where the author has left off, Bella is being hunted by a human James. And she has to deal with a vampire boyfriend, family, and being turned before her eighteenth birthday so that Jane doesn't go all evil mind power on them. Yes, the Volturi know that she's human.

BH is leading up to some major battles, and it looks like it'll be amazing. The author hasn't updated for a while, but she has promised that she will soon...and if whoever is reading this blog goes and reviews...maybe, just maybe she'll update? Because I need that update!

Bella Hale by JulesSC. There's a thread in the AU section of the Twilighted forums for it. :)

Welcome!

Welcome to Teenage (fic) Kicks, a blog about Twilight fan fiction. But there's a difference! The highest rated fic that you will find here is T, or PG-13. This site is a safe place for teen fic fans, and we won't have any cursing or anything like that! But I'm pretty open minded.

This blog started from a little seed implanted in my head about fic blogs being so popular right now, from The Lazy Yet Discerning Ficster, to PPSS (Which is strictly over 18's, so I'm not even giving the full name.) These blogs do amazing work, highlighting under appreciated fic, and bringing it to the attention of the wider fic audience. Which is brilliant, I love it! But T rated fics, unfortunately, tend to get left behind when talking about fic. So my mission, and the mission of the guest bloggers that will appear, is to increase the awareness of T rated fic. Not just for teens, but to prove to the many adult readers that teenagers are fully able to write GOOD fic. And to prove that an adult doesn't need to write smut to write a good fic :)

And now I've to introduce myself! I'm Cíara, or xparawhorextwerdx on ff, twilighted, twilightedteens, and parawhoretwerd on LJ. And my self imposed mission is to introduce the world to WELL WRITTEN T RATED FIC.

So, you with me?



You can contact Teenage (Fic) Kicks at xparawhorextwerdx@gmail.com. There will be an email address set up soon, promise!
