Last year My-Bella and I donated a one shot to the Fandom for Luekemia and
Lymphoma Society-Fandom4LLS fundraiser.
Our amazing and wonderful fandom
raised $5,500 for this most deserving cause. We'd like to beat that
amount this year and hope that all of you, our fantastic readers, will
help us do that.
All it takes is a small $5.00 donation to get the entire
compilation, and all donations over $20 are tax deductible.
The list of
Twilight authors that have signed up to contribute to the compilation is
long and amazing, including many who signed up last year and some new
ones as well. And for those of you out there who are Hunger Games fans
too, they have also expanded the compilation to include those authors
and stories as well.
My-Bella and myself are both donating
Twilight one-shots again this year and hope you can help us with this
extremely worthy cause.
Don't wait though, you only have until August 30th to make your donation. For more information, click on the link below.
My-Bella and I would also like to share with you the teasers and banners for our one shots.
Even if you can't find your way around
the kitchen to save your life, I promise you will love this version of
Edward and Bella that My-Bella has served up in Mr. Unconventional.

“I’ve found
that when you’re in a new city, it’s nice to know at least one person.”
“I hardly
think an elevator ride qualifies as knowing a person.”
His smile
changed and became a crooked, cocky grin. “Oh, I know you … You’ve always
secretly wanted to try oysters but you’ve been afraid of not liking them and
having the mystery of their appeal ruined. You’re here to try the food, but
you’re also reluctant to go too far out of your comfort zone. You want a push
and a friend to take the journey with you. I know you and I know you’ll come to
the restaurant tonight, whether you try the oysters or not.”
“You’re
crazy,” she said, laughing him off even as her stomach twisted with the truth
of his words.
“Tell me your
name.”
“Why?”
She had
thought his smile was bone-melting but it was nothing to the piercing look in
his green eyes at that moment. “So I’ll know what to call you when I invite you
to sit at my table.”
“It’s Bella.”
He scrunched
his face and shook his head before grinning at her once more. “I like the
French version better. See you tonight, Belle.”
He stepped
completely into the hall and then stood there smiling at her until the elevator
door closed.

For my one shot, I've written my own little tale based loosely on the song Just A Dream by Carrie Underwood.
Biology had been my first
class of the day. I remembered how I’d been chewing on my lip so hard I nearly
bit threw the skin as I had walked into the biology lab and handed my new
student slip to the teacher, Mr. Banner.
I wanted to bolt for the door when he’d first directed me to sit at a
table near the back of the class next to this boy with a rusty shade of
brownish hair, doodling on his notebook and not paying an ounce of attention to
what was going on around him.
When I pulled my stool out to sit down, it scrapped loudly across the floor making a sound similar to that of a fork being raked across a chalk board causing everyone to stare at me. Feeling horrified by the unwanted attention I wanted to bolt from the room once again, but knowing I couldn’t I forced myself to sit on the stool. In that same moment, Edward looked over at me. His lips were turned up into this smile that seemed to only form on one side of his mouth as he held out his hand and introduced himself to me. The second I took his hand and looked into his eyes I saw this amazing twinkle that to this day I still can’t explain why or how, but it somehow eased all my fears, letting me know instantly that everything would be okay.
That day was the beginning of my and Edward’s relationship. We’d started out as friends, even though we both had later admitted that we’d been attracted to one another from the start. But we had taken our time getting to know each other before we had taken that next step and became more.
Edward had been so sweet and caring as he helped me learn my way around the school and the town. He made me feel welcome and introduced me to his sister Alice and his best friend Jasper. It wasn’t long before the four of us were practically inseparable.
The longer I knew him the more I saw just what a caring, unselfish, loving, and wonderful person he was and falling in love with him had been so easy. Easy as breathing.
