Surprise!

I just wanted to let you guys know, just in case you didn't have me on author alert, that I posted the first outtake to CoC! It is a Jasper/Alice centered outtake, but I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm hoping to do more in the future so keep an eye out. Check out my profile for it, it's listed under a new story called Code of Conduct Outtakes!

And also this video was part of the inspiration for the outtake and its an absolutely beautiful video, so take a look. And I'm issuing a tissue warning for this video. No joke. I fucking bawled. My stepdad came in and asked me what the hell was going on because I was so emotional about it. It's awesome.

Thank You

So just in case you didn't read my A/N at the end of the epilogue, which let's face it it was a fucking novel, I just wanted to express my thank you for all your support of CoC. When I started it I had no idea how it was going to be received and I was really worried about messing it up, since I don't have a lot of knowledge regarding the military. I realize that I didn't get some of the technical things right, which I apologize for, but you've all assured me I've done well with the emotions and I'd take that over having every little technical thing right anyway. I didn't realize how many of you this story would affect, or how many of you have ties to the military, and although I fucking love every single review I get, the ones that would always get to me are the ones from members or family members of the military. I am completely humbled by you guys and I appreciate it.

As you know, I am taking a hiatus this summer to focus on my internship, but I will still be writing behind the scenes so I have a good starting point this fall. I currently have six stories floating around in my head and have at least gotten something down for all of them, because otherwise they won't shut up and they drive me crazy. I'm not completely sure the order in which its going to go, but Game, Set, Match is definitely going to be one of the first ones I start updating so as a thank you to you guys I've posted ANOTHER teaser for the story on its blog. If you haven't checked it out yet, you definitely should. There are now two teasers as well as a playlist on there for you guys.

This story is going to be a little bit different from CoC, but I hope you will enjoy it. CoC was incredibly emotionally draining for me, as I'm sure it was for you, so I'm hoping to do a lighter story first and Game, Set, Match definitely fits the bill for that. It's not that there won't be drama or it won't be emotional because it will, but the only way I know how to describe it is lighter. It's not going to be that intense constant heartfail because I think we need a slight break from it. One of my other upcoming stories will be a little more like CoC in terms of that, but I'd like to try something new first.

Game, Set, Match follows Bella who has just been hired to be a photographer for playboy Tennis Pro Edward Cullen. You can check out the blog here >>> www.gamesetmatchfanfiction.blogspot.com

CocTease: Edward

“Hey Cullen.”
I looked up from my journal and my plate of food. Peter, the new guy, sat down next to me and rested his head in his hands.
“They got you running the night shift?” I asked, taking another bite.
“Fourth time this week. And I’m supposed to go out tonight again,” he mumbled.
I looked him over, seeing his haggard expression and the dark circles under his eyes. He was beyond tired, I almost wondered if he should be going out at all. I never thought it was very smart that they sent people out who were this run down. It didn’t seem like it would be safe. If it wasn’t safe to drive when you’re sleepy, then it probably isn’t okay to be responsible for a weapon or someone else’s life.
“Who are you heading out with?” I asked.
“Uh…I think Smith, Carlson and Bates.” He rubbed his eyes and shook his head, trying to wake himself up.
I took another bite of my food and watched him. His eyes fluttered a little, fighting to stay awake, before they floated shut. I felt bad for the guy, I couldn’t deny that. I’d gotten lucky and had mostly day shifts; I knew the night shifts were brutal.
“I’ll take it Peter,” I slapped his back.
“What?” He mumbled.
“I’ll take your shift. You need a good nights sleep.”
“No man, I don’t want to put that on you…”
“Don’t even worry about it. I’m sure you’d do the same for me. It’s done. I’ll go talk to the Captain.”
He started to protest again but I laughed and shook my head. “Go to bed Peter.”

Listen to Coc Playlist Chapters 39-41ish

Please read this before hunting me down and yelling at me:
I know that some songs on this playlist hint that a certain *incident* has occurred. All I'm going to say is that appearances can be deceiving and remember that I promised you a HEA. It's going to be a rough last jog, but we're going to make it through. That is all. If you would like to express your discontent or speculation, remember there's a thread for that : )

Wonderful. Amazing. Fantastic. (Insert synonym here)

Check out this AWESOME blinkie from RoseArcadia. I was absolutely floored when she offered to do one for CoC and thought it turned out absolutely perfect!


And if that wasn't enough, Rose also created a Twilighted Thread for CoC, so if you guys want to talk to each other about CoC happenings that's the place to be! I'll also stop by from time to time and check in on it. There are also codes for the blinkie on the thread, so if you want them for your blog or for anything else they are there. You do have to create a Twilighted account to participate in it, but its super easy and its free.


Check out the Twilighted Thread here


And please also check out Rose's blog, she makes some great banners, blinkies ect. and has some good recommendations on there!

Hmmm. Good or bad that Jasper is showing up in our PicTease? Thoughts?
