Happily (N)ever After Contest

Happily (N)ever After Contest

Happy endings. We all love ‘em, but they’ve been done. To death. They’ve become predictable, and sometimes a little cliched. As much as we’d like it to happen, happy endings aren’t always possible. Besides, we all know the only real happy endings happen in fairy tales anyway. So, in the spirit of shaking things up and keeping it real, we proudly present the Happily (N)ever After Contest.

This contest is open to all pairings, and pretty much any style of story you want to write. All human, Alternate Universe, Canon…whatever floats your boat, so long as your pairing/main character doesn’t get the much sought after HEA.

Maybe you have an inner angsty side and you want to let her out. Maybe you have never tried writing unhappy things, and you want to stretch your writing muscles a bit. This is about changing it up, going against the grain, trying something different, and it could be a lot of fun to discover what you’re capable of.

Dane DeHaan also new to Season 4

Dane DeHaan announced on his Twitter account: “Stoked about my new gig on trueblood !”

It is unknown what part the 23 year old will play.

He’s been Twitting a bit and mentions, Not a vampire… but certainly not a human… you’ll have to watch and find out!

I don’t know much about this lad… will have to wait and see also…

After talking to some very wise ladies in twitter, we came up with two  canon characters he might be playing. 

1. Claude

2. Bob

Or he might be a completely new character in this season.

Charlaine Harris "Dead Reckoning" (Book 11) Cover Art Released

 Charlaine Harris released the new cover for her 11th Book in the Southern Vampire Mysteries series titled, Dead Reckoning.


I'm liking the green dress on Sookie and all, but WHERE IS ERIC? *sobs* I really hope Charlaine Harris doesn't follow through on her threat to dissolve the bond or marriage Sookie and Eric have, but by the look of this cover, our Viking is nowhere to be found. I can't help but fear for the worst, and the synopsis doesn't help in the least.

Synopsis for Dead Reckoning:

"With her knack for being in trouble’s way, Sookie witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte’s, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is now known to be two-natured, suspicion falls immediately on the anti-shifters in the area. But Sookie suspects otherwise and she and Sam work together to uncover the culprit – and the twisted motive for the attack. But her attention is divided. Though she can’t ‘read’ vampires, Sookie knows her lover Eric Northman and his ‘child’ Pam well – and she realises that they are plotting to kill the vampire who is now their master. Gradually, she is drawn into the plot -which is much more complicated than she knows. Caught up in the politics of the vampire world, Sookie will learn that she is as much of a pawn as any ordinary human – and that there is a new Queen on the board..."

    
What do you think is in store for Sookie and Eric?

NEW CONTEST : Home Sweet Home

The Home Sweet Home Contest hosted by Thyra10 and Suki59.

What if Eric lived in your hometown? Or Sookie visited the place where you grew up? Or maybe Jason was dating the girl next door to where you live now?

Or the guy two doors down from you had a dog named Alcide? Or Pam was your local soccer mum? Or, or….

Write a story about any or all of the SVM characters and put them in a place in which you’ve lived. It can be a country, state, province, city, town, village, or even neighborhood that you’ve called home. What happens there is entirely up to you!

Contest is open to ALL. This is not an anonymous contest. Winners will be determined by public vote.
