Hi if you read this.

May 2018 update I'm actively working on a few more scenes chapters to extend Red Charade, and something new I've been inspired to write. I'm still working on Boundaries Undefined, but will not resume posting until the story is complete.

You can find me on Twitter @Mylisssa and facebook: Mylissa Denicks

Cracking Cullen: This started as an entry for the Secrets and Lies contest and will be expanded. It won a Judge's Choice award from Elise De Sallier and here's what she said about it: "I absolutely adored this story. The writing was beautifully emotive with well drawn characters and a cleverly constructed plot that drew me in, line by line. It stayed with me long after I finished reading and left me wanting more."

In My League:

This is my entry for TFN's Revenge of the Nerds contest.

Red Charade:

This is my entry for TFN's Pick-A-Prompt contest. I'm working on an extra chapter or two on this one. Red Charade now has a banner made by YourVixen.

The Backup Plan:

Empty-handed:

Written for Emergency Beta Service's 2nd anniversary challenge.

Judge HolletLA special mention:

This story pulled me in immediately, took me a while to figure out where she was and where she could have possibly been that held this many memories. My first thought was that he’d died and I was really upset about that prospect because I never like a sad story. But when I learned the story from her “retelling”, it gave me hope. And when she touched the kiss, and he came up behind her, I got goose bumps. The high school setting totally fit the dramatic emotional range and enabled me to be in her Bella’s shoes. (In fact, I just looked back to see if it had been Bella, since the emotions were so strong, the pairing was almost inconsequential.)

Banner for Empty-handed was made by beffers87 for Banner Palooza. It tied for 3rd place. http:///albums/y24/MelissaD416/Emptyhandedbanner.jpg

In Terms of Forever:

One-shot entry for the Pick a pic challenge for banner # 93 made by anniegirl27 http:///albums/y24/MelissaD416/intermsbanner.jpg

Chosen as TheLadyInGrey's Judge's choice and she wrote a beautiful review:

Of the many amazing stories written for this contest, the one that stood out to me the most was In Terms of Forever. From the very first few paragraphs, the writing picked me up, shook me and forced me to take notice. I was swept away in the lyricism. The story is told in quick-switching alternating first-person POVs, which can be incredibly distracting and difficult to follow when handled by an unskilled writer. But the lovely person behind In Terms of Forever made the story-telling sing, blending the POVs seamlessly and giving us a lovely, enchanting story of two kindred souls, spotting each other amidst the crowd. It’s not the most likely tale of love, but it is the kind that could make even the most hardened heart beat a little faster, wanting so badly to believe that this kind of connection could be real. Just a treat to read.
