Announcing the Fic Grab Bag

Let's face it.


We all hate fic diving.


It takes too much time. You have to pick through at least 300 duds before you find an actual, honest-to-goodness fic that actually hits the spot and you think that you're in love...


...And it's discontinued.


So, why not let Twimpage cut out the guess work for you? 


Introducing The Fic Grab Bag.


For authors, this is your chance to show the fandom what you're made up. For readers, you can eliminate the guesswork, and try something you might've overlooked in the FFnet fray.


How, you ask?


A compiled list of collected fics - one-shots, completes, WIPs, of almost any pairing, genre, and rating that you can think of. Once that's done, all a reader needs to do in a moment of 'Oh, what shall I read now?' is ask for it.


Yes, sounds pretty simple right?


To sign up your fic - or someone else's you know - for the Fic Grab Bag, and have a chance of being presented as the Daily Pimp, click here.

Twimp'd Teaser: My Chiropractor Roomie by ZenOne

Rated M   Romance/Humor  Edward x Bella

I shifted uncomfortably before sitting halfway up in bed. Realizing belatedly that I was still dressed,

not only that, but the fly of my jeans was open and my cock was hanging out.

Memories of last night began to flash through my mind...

You can read My Chiropractor Roomie on Fanfiction.net and on The Writer's Coffee Shop

Be a Tease

Everyone likes a tease. Well, it depends on exactly what kind of tease you are. 


This time around though, we don't think anyone would mind if you held off  for a little bit. We're hoping that you, and your cock-blocked readers, would find it a rewarding experience.


Twimp'd Teasers.


(You know, this is the moment when everyone goes, 'OOOH.' Just saying.)


You could post a teaser anywhere. So what, do you ask, makes a Twimp'd Teaser so special?


Simple.


It's one sentence.


Yes, you read that correctly. Not 500 words, not even a short paragraph. One sentence, or nothing at all. 


Of course, you could always go with our second option...three words.

Twimpage Redesign: June 2010

Get Pimped!

When we first started out on the long and bumpy road that was creating Twimpage, we did so with you, our fellow small-time authors, in mind. 


We know what it's like, to want your fic out there, but not be sure on exactly how - or where - to start.


With that said, Get Pimped! is the way for you, the author, to spotlight your story for those that you want to read it. 


Simply, this is the new Twimp'd Teasers, if you've already seen the old one.


The form is here. All you have to do is submit, and we'll work our magic on letting your story be shown, just like we've promised.

Redefined by joyousnerd

Rated M/R. Romance. AH.

Hangin’ ‘round, downtown by myself,
And I had so much time to sit
And think about myself
And then there she was…
-Sex & Candy, Marcy Playground

Like the song says, Redefined by joyousnerd is “like double-cherry pie.” It’s that good. The lyrical introduction is in honor of how I found this wonderful fic – sitting at Loco’s with nothing particular to do, I started scrolling through completed fics on Twilighted on my phone. I gave it a try because it was (at the time) a one-shot that I could read over dinner. So there I was, laughing and sighing over the first chapter of what has become my very favorite fic. This AH work-in-progress makes me squeal out loud when it updates, and it is the lone entry on my “read more than twice” list.

At the start, Bella and Edward are best friends and roommates who have never thought of each other “that way.” They’ve seen each other at their best and worst, and we’re introduced to them in a moment of comfortable familiarity. Then a snowstorm knocks out the power, and suddenly the comfort isn’t quite so familiar, after all.
Originally a one-shot written for “When Love was New” (in which it received an honorable mention, by the way), the author continued the story for the very best reason – the characters insisted. The continuing chapters reveal a delightful story about the highs and lows of new love with a light touch of humor and just the right amount of drama. All of the Cullens come out to play, including “Ren,” (“her real name is… Swedish or something”). Jacob is the friend that Team Edward fans wish he would be. Charlie and Renee have unique characterizations that factor into an M-rated plot line with potential triggers, although the author handles the subject tastefully and without gimmicks.

All of this fic-tastic goodness is delivered through joyousnerd’s enviable style and pacing. We’re granted access to both Edward and Bella’s perspectives through a smoothly alternating third-person limited voice. In keeping with its original debut as a one-shot, each chapter so far is nearly self-contained, with a complete episodic plot line as well as a contribution to the larger story arc. All in all, a beautiful story that is as worthy to be enjoyed as a favorite battered board game, and as deserving to be seen as a brilliant diamond ring.

Read it on Twilighted or at FFn!

Guest Review with the Fic Pixie Crew

So you know a fic that doesn't get the spotlight it deserves. We all do. The point here is (to quote my mother),


"Whatcha going to do about it?"


Simple. You submit our Guest Review form, and tell the world about it.


(Yes, we have a form for everything. We're cool like that.)

A few guidelines before you click that link:

1) We're looking for under-appreciated fics, 25 reviews per chapter.

2) This is for other peoples' stories. To pimp out yours, check out the Get Pimped! feature.

Cool? Good.
