OMG I Won Stuff!

No, really I did! I was nominated 5 times in the Gem Awards, Jasper round and I won 3 of them! I'm giddy and I have to say a huge thank you, not just to those who nominated me in the first place, but to those who went and voted for me. I'm stoked, I didn't think that many people had read 'Fire & Ice', let alone liked it enough to vote for it, and I can't even begin to tell you what winning 'Best New Writer' means to me.
I'm squealing today, but very quietly, because I'm recovering from a sinus headache and I'm feeling a bit fragile.

I Won! *happy dance*

Thank you SO much to everyone who voted for 'Behind Enemy Lines' in the Sparkleteers Awards. I won my Category - Diamond in the Rough: Most Original Storyline.

I am so inspired right now. I intend to continue posting once a week (every Tuesday) over Christmas. My poor beta's need a rest and time to drink some eggnog. I've been working them like slaves the last month!

My story was also part of #NaNoWriMo and I forgot to mention I 'won' that too. I finished on Nov 23rd, a full week ahead of schedule.
At this point I think we're about 1/4-1/3 through the story. Depends how much more I jig around with it before the end. I keep adding new story threads as I go, so might be a while before we're done!

'Fire & Ice' - Darksper O/S

Fire & Ice

This is my submission for the 'Nightmare Before Christmas' Contest on TwiWrite.net .

Summary: Five years after the Cullens left, 23 year old Bella has finished College and is back home with her father. It's Christmas Eve, but it's not Santa who's paying Bella a visit this year.

Disclaimer: Rated MA for just about everything. This is a DARK fic and contains dark themes, violence and Darksper. SM owns all; I just like to mess with her creations.

A/N: It is debatable whether part of this story could be seen as rape. I did not write it with that intent, but feel it wise to caution readers.

Voting is Now Open

Just a quick reminder that voting is now open for the Rare Gem Awards over on Sparkleteers.

My fic 'Behind Enemy Lines' has been nominated in the 'Diamond in the Rough' category for 'Most Original Storyline' and it's the only story in that category that isn't a ExB fic.

Voting can be done here (ctrl+F and search for Jazzella if you're going to vote for me - it takes ages to scroll down and find it) and thanks so much to the twenty plus readers who've already voted and put it into (currently) second place. There's a long way to go yet as the polls are open for another 10 days, but it would be lovely to see JxB fic get placed wouldn't it? *hint hint*

Sparkleteer Rare Gem Awards Nomination

'Behind Enemy Lines' has been nominated for the 'Diamond in the Rough' category - Most Original Storyline over on Sparkleteers and so far it's the only story in that category that isn't a ExB fic.

I'm grinning a lot.
