Hung is not the worst a**hole I've seen on that show. In the team challenges, he actually is smart enough to help his teammates. Some of the others are real jerks. I was actually impressed with him when I saw that. Prior to that point, yeah, I agreed with you.

I wonder if Hung is ... well...hung?

Hello Everyone,

I absolutely love this board and I am so happy about this thread. I was hoping someone would have some good Historical/Time Period/Time Travel fics to rec...anything along those lines, and any pairing as well...E/B, B/Jas, B/Em are all good.

I've already read Beyond Time, Only Human, Leaves of Grass and Time Will Tell.

Hopefully someone can help, I am just so addicted to these types of fics at the moment lol.

Damn, my memory for names is dreadful!

Check out Lady Gwynned for some historical fics - Bear Valley Ranch and it's sequel.

There's also one by Savage - "Un - something Circumstances"?

Sorry - I am at work and on my phone - I'll reply properly with links when I get home tonight.

I don't even think I have the first author's name spelt correctly!

Anyone know of any hidden gems?

Well, if you catch it fast, TwiLoverSue is pulling her historical. I started reading it as a WIP and it was decent, she was just slow on the updates - she had two others going at the time. And I tend to forget I'm reading stuff.

TwiLoverSue will be pulling A Forbidden Love on Feb. 24th (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login).

Summary: Fleeing her father's attacker, Bella masquerades as a servant. While awaiting Lord Carlisle's return, his heir, Lord Edward, decides to protect the beautiful new maid by making her his mistress. With her reputation ruined, all appears lost…or is it? M for lemons and seduction. Happily Ever After...eventually. COMPLETE with just a few out-takes to come.
Rated: Fiction M - English - Romance/Drama - Edward & Bella - Chapters: 74

Here's the latest author's note from TwiLoverSue:

My Dear Fan Fiction Friends,

I'm sorry I didn't manage to write the outtakes/future takes for my stories as I'd hoped, but life has been very challenging since I finished posting A Forbidden Love and Once Bitten. Those of you who read my stories as WIPS might recall from my 'blog-like' Author notes (I deleted the more personal comments once the stories were finished) that I've been having some health problems. For two years I've been battling GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and was repeatedly told by my doctors I needed to reduce stress. Last October, breathless, exhausted, suffering severe chest pain and losing my voice, I begged him to do some tests. A couple of gastroscophies and numerous specialists later, I learned I have a GIST (Gastro Intestinal Stromal Tumour). It's an extremely rare form of cancer, but the doctors are hopeful they've caught it early enough not to be too big a problem.

I also have two different neurological disorders: Spasmodic Dysphonia which causes the voice box to spasm and makes speaking very difficult and painful and DES (Diffuse Esophageal Spasm) an extremely rare and excruciatingly painful condition that makes swallowing an adventure sport. Neither condition is curable, and the surgery they want me to have to remove the tumour, correct the GERD, and attempt to ease the spasms in my esophagus (it's like the darn things trying to tie itself in knots!) is daunting to say the least. On the bright side, the doctors are no longer blaming my symptoms on stress!

My wonderful husband of thirty years this year (we're still crazy in love so it can last!) is incredibly supportive. But I've had to give up the job I love as a counsellor, and life is looking very uncertain.

The reason I've decided to let everyone know about my health problems is that many of you prayed for me when I was posting my stories, and I wondered—for those so inclined—if you would pray for me again, in particular for my upcoming surgery and that the cancer doesn't metastasise? Now that I can no longer work or talk on the phone for more than a few minutes, I'm also feeling a bit isolated and would love to hear from any of my TwiFic friends who feel like a chat.

The other reason I'm writing this letter is one I'm nervous to admit to, but here goes...

Having to give up my career has been very difficult, and though it is probably akin to winning lotto, I am hoping to eventually earn some money from my writing. I've just completed my first original novel, an historical romance called A Perfect Love, and am ready to submit it for hopeful publication.

So...to my announcement.

I know I said I wouldn't pull A Forbidden Love to publish (ducks for cover), but my change in circumstances have caused me to reconsider. I think it has potential as an original story and would love to see it reach a wider audience. I'm in the process of 'deTwilighting', addressing the character and plot flaws, of which there were quite a few, cutting the waffle and repetition, of which there was way too much, and am reducing it down from a mammoth 250 thousand words to a more manageable 150 thousand. I'm not sure what I'll do with it once it's reworked, but I'll be taking A Forbidden Love down from Fan Fiction Net two weeks from now on February 24th, so I wanted to give anyone still reading a chance to finish.

I've been warned there are some people in the fan fiction community who get extremely upset when writers 'pull to publish', but I'm hoping they won't be too hard on me given my crazy situation. My husband is working all hours to keep us afloat, and I desperately want to help with the only means I have left to me...my writing.

My apologies to those I've offended for this decision to take A Forbidden Love down and rework it for publishing. My hope is you'll be able to appreciate my difficult position and afford me some grace. I'd like to say a huge thank you to all my wonderful readers for your support and encouragement over the past two years. Your prayers or best wishes for my upcoming surgery would be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to hearing from some of you for a chat.

Sue xx

PS: My stories will be published under the pseudonym Elise de Sallier, a variation on my grandmother's maiden name. I'll let you know if and when they're available for purchase. In the mean time, I've set up a facebook account for Elise de Sallier if you'd like to see what I'm up to.

Leaves of Grass is really good, and I'm not a huge historical fan. It had enough present time stuff to keep me interested.

Just a random question; why does everybody feel the need to name Bella's kids or Edward's Lily? I mean the majority of single parent fics have a daughter named Lily. I'm just wondering why is that?

This is my fav story in HS reunion category. It was refreshing to read that Edward-bella has perfect, normal ,happy married life. For once there was no drama & problem between EB. Alice was totally bitchy character so it was nice break from bouncing, pixie alice. Although i wanted to punch rosailie atleast one time.

It's better than Renesmee?

Perhaps she's named after Aunty Rose? Rosalie Lillian Hale?

Also, if you want a decent workout video then try 30 day Shred. It's the toughest thing ever but it works so well.

Guuurrrl - you are lucky you live on the other side of the world!

Every time I sat down today, I thought of you.

Every time I walked up steps today, I thought of you.

Every time I went to the toilet today, I thought of you.

These were not happy thoughts.

These were "my arse is so sore, I'm gonna kill that bitch" thoughts!

And then I got home from work, and did it all again...

And thought of you some more -

Thanks!

I love it!!!

It feels good when you know it's doing something! The workout itself wasn't too bad (a bit too many star jumps for my poor chest) but it was when I got up this morning - obviously I have been negligent in my squatting regime!

Although "Shredding" in 35C (95F) - not fun! I turned both the air con and ceiling fan on and was still sweating like a pig!

*cries*

There are so many pages and I can't see them all on my phone. Effing computer is being stoopid and I can't upload anything!

My internet is sketchy at best so trying to keep up with you ladies and not being able to chat in making my heart hurt.

As soon as my computer is up and running, I'm uploading those 2 fcuking fics I wrote! *grumbles* it better be soon

Love you all

Matey, you take all the time you need to upload! I'm just relieved that you're ok - I've seen the news about Nemo and had images of a snap-frozen SavvyB. I was getting worried that we hadn't heard from you!

And I'll keep waiting patiently...

Hi! Try You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login as that has lots of historical stories. Most of the ones from there that I've read are really good, so it's definitely worth checking out.

You wouldn't think a 20 minute workout would be so full on! I remember waking up the day after, going to get out of bed and just rolling onto the floor because my thighs were so sore. I sweat enough doing it in our cold weather, I can't imagine how warm you must have been. I love her style though, whenever I stopped she seemed to know and say something like 'YOU CAN DO IT, GET MOVING' and I was too frightened not to
