Author has written 3 stories for Twilight. Hello lovely readers! I suppose it's time for me to actually put something here. I'm Wendy, and I'm 28 and living in the beautiful midwest. I love it here! I am also a self-admitted Twilight junkie. Is there a support group for us? But I don't want to get over my addiction so I wouldn't go if there were, LOL. I'm working on my first ever fan fic, called Broken. It's a little dark (really dark actually) but that's the story that is in my head to tell. I think it's turning out pretty good so far. I love the reviews I've been getting so here is my shameless plug: Pretty please, read and review! It makes me so happy! And it keeps evil cliffhangers away... Fair warning: I am something of an erratic writer. If things are flowing I may put up 50 pages of chapters in the space of 3 days. Or it may take 3 weeks for me to update. That's because I'd rather post something I actually like instead of updating for the sake of updating and not liking where my story is heading. But I do love reviews and PM's asking me about the story because they sometimes help me through the plague of writer's block! Note about Broken: Yes, Broken is a "Bella gets raped in Port Angeles" story. Yes, I realize that this storyline has been done before, and sometimes not very well. I believe (probably arrogantly) that my take is different. I know this is a sensitive subject for many people and I want to address some of the concerns I've read. Broken, though a work in progress, is a story that will be about triumph over tragedy and growing as a person. Yes, what happened in my story is awful, but it's not the theme. Bella isn't going to magically get better. She is going to have to fight to find herself and come through something this painful. It won't always be easy to read but I don't think it demeaning to rape survivors at all. In fact, I hope it will become a tribute to the bravery they each have in living every day. It is my hope that every rape survivor gets the help he or she needs and has the support to overcome the trauma. I've been getting some of the same questions over and over again so I'm posting the Broken FAQ! As more questions get asked, I'll get them up here. Q : Is this a Jasper / Bella story? A : Nope. Broken is completely canon. It's just going to be a different journey for them. Can't post more details than that, sorry! I will say, however, that I am totally Team Jasper. He's my favorite character, hence his enlarged role in this story. I think there is a lot of unexplored depth to Jasper and I'm excited to be able to show some of it. (Not like that! Get your minds out of the gutter. Sheesh!) Q : Why isn't Alice jealous of Jasper and Bella? A : Alice trusts Jasper. Plus, she knows he will be able to help Bella in a way that no one else can. With his training in psychology coupled with his gift, he is uniquely positioned to be able to help. Also, Alice misses the best friend she was supposed to have. And she is very proud of Jasper and what he is doing. Q : Why is Bella afraid of Edward? A : Can't answer this really. What I can tell you is that she isn't afraid of Edward. Confused yet? This will be revealed in time, promise! Q : What were the songs on the CD Edward made for Bella? A : Permanent by David Cook and Here I Am by Leona Lewis Q : Is Jasper using his talent on Bella? A : Absolutely not. He recognizes that any help that would give her would be temporary and, in the end, might actually make things worse. I can't say he won't ever use it on her but as of now (and I'm most of the way through writing chapter 10) he hasn't been using his gift other than to sense what she is feeling and react to it. Q : Will Jacob be making an appearance? A : Yes, but not in a major way. The wolves will be popping in very soon (as of writing this part I have just posted Chapter 12) but will not be a major force in the story. Actually, I hadn't given them much thought until a lovely reviewer reminded me! Q : What flowers did Edward give Bella and what do they mean? A : Since I finally posted the chapter where she finds out the flowers have meanings, I can now officially post the list! These are in the order he gave them to her and please keep in mind that they are not all mentioned in the story. If they are in a specific chapter, it will say so. As he gives her more flowers I will update the list. Star of Bethlehem - Hope - Chapter 9 Finally! The links to the photos for Broken.
