Love us still?

Hi all!

So I (K) felt y'all needed a bit of an explanation. MTF was not updated this past week for several reasons. 1 - I went on a family holiday, 2 - Robs has no internet access and 3 - it's the last written and beta'd chapter.

As you know Robs and I partake in NaNoWriMo. So I'm sure those of you who were around last year and saw us partake in the madness, knows that we usually go on a temp hiatus for the month of November.

Unfortunately, we didn't account for my 16 year old cousin to get pregnant and be ready to pop any time now, for our wonderful beta Amber to get sick, or Robs' internet to be a hoor. So as of now, both MTF and DB are on a hiatus. NOT because of Nano, But because of REAL LIFE kicking the shit out of us and drowning us to the point that we can't breathe.

We are NOT abandoning you or our fics. We WILL continue them as soon as possible. All we ask is that you remain patient and we promise to have something for you soon.

Serious Business time with K and Robs

Hi guys,

So take a seat, y'all know how I get when there's something important or whatever that needs to be said. Don't worry, I can wait. *sits patiently*

Ready? Okay... here goes.

As some of you may or may not know. Robs and I are getting our asses handed to us once again with real life. But that's to be expected when your full time job is either wife/mother or college student. Life is gonna get hectic and the muse will be quiet, so to speak.

But it's not just affecting us. It's affecting an integral part of the Alsper team. Our beta Amber.

Anyone who has met this lady, knows of her pervy mind and ability to make the sun shine in anyone's darkest day. She has been a complete supporter of our works and a true blessing to us as not only our beta but our friend sister as well.

Right now, Amber needs the help of her friends and this fandom. She needs your prayers and positive thoughts as she faces something that is becoming a devastating blow to her. I won't go into detail as to what is going on, but please know that Robs and I aren't the kind to just say "hey she can't deal with her oldest dating, pray for her" (God, I hope her oldest isn't dating yet o.O).

Why does this affect our muse? Because for the Pisces that Robs and I are, family comes first. Amber is our family, only better, because we got to choose her, and for some reason she loves our brand of crazy.

This is why there is no More Than Friends update this week. While yes, we have it written, it's not ready for the public.

Please don't mistake this as a cop-out on our half. It's not. While we may seem like we aren't working on More Than Friends or even Dangerous Beauty, we are. As well as a few other ones that you've all had glimpses of through our witfits.

As soon as Chapter 23 and Chapter 4 of MTF and DB, respectively, are ready, we will post it. Until then, we hope you enjoy the outtakes and one shot's you're receiving.

Thank you

♥

And of course obligatory Jackson gif Just to make Amber giggle :)

Just a head's up

So the girls have been getting a lot of questions regarding the blog and what's next.

As many of you know, there is in fact a lynch mob on fanfiction.net. While yes, they are targeting lesser known fics and big named Edward/Bella fics, the girls are preparing the blog to post stories here as well.

This has actually been in the works long before the fuckery at ff.net started to happen.

Will they be posting on FF.net as well? Yes.

The story blogs are mainly a back-up plan for most of the stories (like OMS and DaS), as well as a way to enhance your reading pleasure (as demonstrated with Absolute).

The girls are excited to get each story up on the blog, which will also have added bonuses to reflect that individual story (ie: Playlist, character bios, graphic ect). But they do ask for your patience since this endeavor is going to be a massive one (Cause they are perfectionists lol).

While at this time, there has been no talk from ff.net itself, all stories are safe and will remain posted there. At least, until they are told other wise.

Also in light of the plagiarism that has been running rapid on ff.net the girls wanted to tell you now, unless you see the names Alsper, Calin-Durus, Kirmit(chocolatebrowneyes) attached to the story, THEY DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO REPOST OUR STORIES. Please report that person as well as the story to the site admin (if it's ff.net than you would send and email to reportabuse@fanfiction.com). Do not review them. All you're doing is giving them the attention that they obviously think they need, which encourages them.


Unless it's Kayla, then it's okay, just feed her goldfish crackers, hot cheetos or hot fries, but make sure you got plenty of liquids for her to drink xD (Love you bb!)

On that note; thank you to everyone that helped in this past week's fuckery. It is amazing to see what our readers are willing to do to not only protect their favorite stories, but our friends as well!

*Stories*

As you know, both The Reborn and Demons & Sinners are coming to a close. Many of you have asked the girls "What's next?".

While they did mention in the latest TR update that they will be taking a short hiatus, that doesn't mean they aren't working. Currently the girls are working hard on the long anticipated story More Than Friends with their beta Amber; as well as getting more of Dangerous Beauty written up with the help of their other beta Kim.

There are also more outtakes for TR, DaS and even OMS (*holds down ears as the collective squees commence*) that is getting worked on; various one shots and some Support Stacie winning fics.

So fear not, there will be something there for you to hold you over.

The girls also want to thank you all for your patience, support, kindness and overall love for everything they've done. Whether it be under the name of Alsper or their individual work; each and everyone of you continue to inspire and remind them why they started posting in the first place.


We hope you have a great Easter (for those that celebrate!)!
