Renfield and Chiclets by katinki

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5475870/1/

Official Description: Edward Cullen, PhD: brilliant, nerdy, mildly attractive, and obsessed with Blood and Vampires. Oh, and pervertedly horny. Join him as he searches for Ms. Right in a series of inter-related smut, erm I mean, one shots. AH/Severely OOC/Very M  

Just started reading this badboy. I'll update soon with more on this fic.

In the meantime... This story comes with the greatest warning at the head of every chapter!

-----KATINKI's AUTHOR NOTE

Warning: some might could find this somewhat offensive. If you are seriously offended when reading about various sexual activities and perhaps, perversions, ya might want to hit back on the browser. Oh and if you are not old enough to read or buy porn, stop here.

AH/Severely OOC/Very M

We'll call this a "Fuck, I don't know how to categorize" fic. Maybe dark, pervy, humor, lemon, weird ass shit. Crackfic... maybe. I dunno. My beta and I came up with the idea whilst discussing Halloween costumes. And I wanted to try my hand at a little rougher smut.

This fic started as a one-shot in honor of Halloween. But later on, I found that I just couldn't let it go. So, we'll continue it as long as it is interesting, and as long as my imagination keeps coming up with new stuff. It won't be a long, continuous story as you might be used to, but rather, a series of related one-shots.

An Introduction to Swirl & Daisy by m81170

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5642262/1/
Official Description: A first kiss, a first dance, a first curse word shared between best friends. This is the tale of a boring young geek and the social pariah who thought the world of him. A tale of growing up. A tale of a Non-Romantic Romance.  Rated T   WIP

This is the sweetest, loveliest fic. At first I thought being inside the head of a 13 year old girl would be slightly annoying. Could not be further from the truth -- I'm finding it endearing and relatable. I keep finding myself thinking, "Oh yeah, I remember feeling that." And reading Bella's naive reactions to things and thinking, "Oh my god, I was that naive, too." Oh, and Edward. Perhaps the cutest, most unusually charming Edward. Just thinking about him makes me want to reread immediately.

If you're having a tough day or in need of a light story filled with heart - this is a sure thing.

m81170 is doing some interesting things that have grown from her fic. She purchased the domain for Edward's fictitious tshirt company: MyT-Spot.com

Here's what she said in her A/N about it:
I have purchased the domain for MyT-Spot(dot)com. There's a possibility that it was the most ridiculous $10 I ever spent, but the amazing ms. ambrosia is helping me turn it into a fun site. It looks like we're going to be selling Twific t-shirts with all the proceeds going to Fandom Gives Back. If you are interested in designing t-shirts, simply lending ideas, or helping us out in any way, please feel free to PM me.

And in her profile:

There will also be a few other features that the brilliant ladies on the Swirl and Daisy forums and myself came up with:

An Anthology of Teenage Angst: Basically, it's just a wall where anyone can post old diary entries (anonymously if you wish) and we can all have a good laugh at them.

Dear Daisy: An advice column. You don't have to restrict your questions to just Daisy though, you can ask any Twific character that you wish in any story. I can't guarantee that you'll get a response, but I will try my hardest to get one for you. This is kind of dependent on whether other authors actually wish to participate. I guess we'll see how that goes - it could be either really lame of really great. Right now there's a submission form located on the front page, though it will be relocated after the site is finished with construction.

Ladies Lounge: Just a forum where you can discuss anything and everything, even if it isn't Twilight related. This will also be the primary forum for t-shirt ideas, designs, ect.

Dark Games & Twisted Minds by katinki

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5467692/1/
 Official Description: A familiar foe has returned. A game of sorts, a game that has been played many times over, a game that taunts Edward's guilt-ridden sense of humanity. This time he must win, for good. It has to end now. Vamp/AU/OOC/M for Violence/Lang/Themes/Sex  



Here is TwiCharmed's great review:

The Hood, by YogaGal

"The Hood brings you back
I ain't tellin you no lie..."

The world YogaGal creates in The Hood might have been lifted directly from my recollections of high school. It's like watching the made-for-TV movie about my life, except instead of being cheesy and starring Tori Spelling, it stars Edward and Bella and their crew of misfit pals. And is awesome.

The first chapter was entered as a oneshot in the Twi High Anonymous Challenge. The Hood came in 2nd in the open voting and was 1st place in the judge's vote.

It is very apt that this fic did so well in a challenge where the story is supposed to capture the high school experience. This WAS my life in high school: laid back stoner hippies, quoting movies, bullshitting about movies, showing off useless movie trivia, and listening to good tunes. All she needs to add: mixtapes, Phish shows, and singing along to music blasting in the car. Oh, and swap The Hood for a Dunkin Donuts (the only thing open 24 hours in the suburbs).

If Edward was a white, Jewish boy with dreads, we'd be in business. And oh how I can relate to poor Bella, trying to gauge where she stands with the boy she's crushing on when he's all laid back-hippy-aloof.

I LOVE the details in this story and the playlist is WIN.

Official Description: Bella's crush on quiet Edward Cullen seems to be one sided. But when they start hanging out will things change or does it all stay in The Hood? FOR TWI-HIGH ANONYMOUS CHALLENGE
