Tiff tis here. At five AM no less wanting say...well I don't really know what I'm going to say. I usually don't on this thing till it's already happened. But regardless, I'm here. this early. [late for me] typing away at you beauties.
As you may have already guessed, TES. [The Emotionless Shadow] has ended. It's been such a crazy ride with that story and it's oddly, sad to see us close the door with it's final chapter.
Let me give you a farwell speech because A) I'm bored and B) I like emotional Good Byes to something that's been apart of our lives for about 3 years now.
When brainstorming this story, honestly me and Cee didn't think we would get the response we've gotten. it's lovely. and I want to thank everyone for the reviews and support. We have the best readers ever. I remember going up to Cee with this idea of a couple. Because I had recently seen a fanvideo of this pairing. this bizzare and beauitful pairing. and I kept going..."Am I insane?" well clearly, I was embaressed to even mention it to my best friend Cece. Whom I wrote fanfic with. I told her,
"Your gonna think I'm insane. but I have this pairing in my head, and they wont leave...but it's not possible! Okay, and it has Edward and Bella's daughter in it..."
she was all, "Okayyy...who? who do you ship her with?"
Now, let me tell you, when the first Volturi pictures came out, Cece was suprised to see Alec was Hot. I told her, when she told me who was casted as Alec that she might be suprised. little did I know the kid from X-men: The Last Staind would be haunting me this much. But anyways, I told Cece who I shipped her with. and to my shock, she got obsessed with them just as much as I have. we talked all night of the pairing. planning scenes. planning the connection. We knew the route of the story before even writing it. We knew Aro would want Renesmee for her power, and he'd use Alec to get what he wanted. we knew how their first time together --*winkwink*-- would go. we plan that first, strangely enough. and we also knew Edward and Bella's response. However things like Duckie, and Addie didn't come to play into much later. Felix wasn't even in the main idea of the story. I think kind of took us by the balls and made us throw him in the story. for which we were glad. We had worried that some of the characters, like Felix and even Heidi would be to Nice as a Volturi member, but then we realized, the Volturi members were once human. and they do have hearts. yes, their unbeating, but their there. as for Addie, to be frank we as writers, HATE her. LOL. she was such a difficult character to write. Because she wanted Alec. and loves Alec, and as Reneslec shippers, it was very hard for us. But By the time Alec came to Renesmee and she was refusing him, we knew we had to get someone to open her eyes. to see what it's like to loose him. and that scene was very fun to write. because it was like "FINALLY She can leave." It gave us some closure with that character. we've had to change a lot of chapters originally for the story.
Like, There was going to be this battle scene. A war even. and though it's nice in theory, we couldn't bring ourselves to write it. it just came out silly, and we hated it. so we rewrote. which turned out awesome, because this story wasn't about a Battle with the Volturi. it was about these two people falling for each other, depite who they were. It was about building a trust. that was the bottom line. I knew a lot of fans wanted more EB in the story. to honest, This was never going to have much of the Cullens. Because as far as Cee and I are concerned, they had their story. their spotlight. Alec never did. He was always a shadow. Hints the name. Which I came up with. I think Cece didn't really like the name but after so long, she went with it. and she came up with the new story's title. which is brilliant. we also found that Renesmee needed a story as well. a POV that was different then what Stephenie Meyer would write. we kept asking ourselves "What if she hated the Imprinting? That choice being taken from her?" and instantly, we had our Renesmee. who needed a new name. Thanks to Cece, we got "Nez" which I just LOVED. as many of you guys did. because we see Reviewers calling her that, and it just warms our hearts.
she is the product of Cece and I together. she's got parts of Me and Parts of Cece. with a little bit of spoildness. and we wanted Alec to be cocky. being a vampire as old as he is, and being a guard, he had to be cocky. He was the Boss. No one messed with him. not even Jane. and he knew it. we also knew he had a lot of emotional issues, dealing with his human life. so many problems that he blocked out most of it. like literally, he doesn't even remember what some people looked like. and he was happy with that.
Putting these two together has a been a rollercoaster. Me and Cee as people have been through so much writing this story. We've changed. we went through GREAT moments. and we've been through HELL moments. Haha. We put a part of ourselves in these people. some things in this story made us want to cry. and some things just mirrored our own selves. Hell, sometimes we wanted to kill each other. and it's weird, when Alec and Nez were fighting, so were me and Cece. like literally, as we wrote the fight scenes, we were at each other's throats. {we both have OCD, putting us together, we can get overwelmed, very easily.} and then there were moments where we didn't agree on somethings. like sexual scenes, and words being put. over all though this story has been our love. our baby. we would talk for hours, before we even wrote a sentence, about the chapters of the future. we'd be like one chapter 12 and talking about chapter 25. Haha. we still do that to this day. which is probably why we take so long to actually write. we just fangirl over our little world. and it's great. Hahah. as insane as it sounds.
I didn't think it would take this long to write this story. I was thinking "Oh, it'll be 10 chapters. and that's that." Hahaa No. No. TES wrote itself. and turned out to be 29 chapters. [with maybe a extra ending someday...who knows.]
I had no idea people would love Alec and Nez as much as I do. I wish so much that SMeyer would get her shit together and realize the possiblity. it would of been awesome. but in truth, I don't think I would of had as much fun being a reader then I do a writer of Alec and Nez. Not saying I could of done better, had SMeyers actually wrote them, because clearly, I don't think we're that great. BUT. it has been amazing, writing this story for you guys. Your passion for our dates, and hell even some people took their passion a little far...LOL..but. It's been a blast. to watch Videos being made, and pictures, and PMs..
I love you guys.
TES started with 7 reviews in the first chapter. it's ended with 955-
That. Blows. My. Mind. for a AU pairing. a AU. pairing of a character with only 3 lines in the movies. That's just flattering.
I hope you guys all keep in conntact with us. by Reading LITD. "Lost In The Dark." It's new. it's fresh. it's been updated 3 times already. and I promise on my grandmother's grave. it wont be as long as TES.
I just wont let that happen. Though it's be just as Angsty, if not more so. Hahaha.
Anyways, I think I've already bored you to tears with my Babble. It's almost 6AM and I'm starting to get the effects of no sleep. Hahaha. figures, I write a blog post inside of a chapter. *sighs* when will we ever learn?
KUDOS!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!
XOXO
