Defile Me Friday with Cullen818

Is it Friday already?  Hmm...that must mean I'm back with Jasper's Darlin' Kathy. I hope you had an opportunity to check out her story, The Hot Empath, Beautiful Human and the Sexy Doctor.  Today, we find out a little about her inspiration for this fic, why she digs Darkward and what that status is on a little collaboration she does called You'll Be Mine.

So, what is it about Darkward that does it for you?

Darkward is more fun than the prude side of Edward or his emo side. I like having fun with Edward and making him dark is the best kind of fun. Darkward is mysterious, controlling, and evil, but he's also sexy and dominant and knows what he wants and plans on getting it. That's what does it for me when it comes to Darkward.

This story is somewhat unique in the fact that not only is Edward dark, but Bella is in love with both Jasper and Carlisle. How hard is it to write something like this? Do you like writing the threesome lemons? Because I really like reading them.

Writing this story is probably the hardest story that I write. Trying to portray a woman in love with not one vampire, but two and actually feeling like you pulled it off is extremely difficult. And of course you add in Darkward and well the ideas start swimming around in my head, making me dizzy, but I love it. The threesome lemons are extremely fun to write, but a little hard too. I enjoy writing them as much as I enjoy reading them. :)

You are currently working on two other fics. Where are you finding the time and do you ever struggle with plot lines?



 Struggling is a huge understatement. I probably should have finished one before I started two more, but those damn plot bunnies wouldn't leave me alone and were practically begging me to write A Forbidden Love, sequel to A New Love and The Change Within. Time is of the essence when it comes to my writing. I unfortunately hit a lot of dead spells where absolutely nothing will come to me, but when they do come I can't stop writing. I'm working on updating all three of my stories as we speak. I don't have a lot of free time to work on my stories between school and work, but what little time I do have, I use it to get some writing done.

 I know you are working on a collaboration called You'll Be Mine with an author I happen to know very well (coughs). Can you tell us what's going on with that one? Are you two bubble brains ever planning on finishing it?

 Ahh! You'll Be Mine is my favorite story to write. I love that story and working on it with my bestie and beta Cullen818 is a wonderful experience that I truly cherish. The updates haven't been coming and that is mainly my fault. When I said previously that time is of the essence to me, well it is. I hardly have any free time, but rest assured we will update this story and we will finish it. It may takes us a little while to get there, but we will. Just stick with us and I promise you, you won't regret it.

Cullen818 - Since that was a loaded question...maybe I better interject.

You'll Be Mine is one of my faves to write as well. We started off so strong and the response was so overwhelming, we were thrilled.  But, then RL got in the way and if you've ever written a collab before, you know it takes time. Kathy and I take it very seriously and we would never just turn out a chapter for the sake of posting a chapter.  We have a vision for this story and we want to see it through. We know we've lost a lot of readers in our extended hiatus, but if you're still with us, we're working on it.

We also have a oneshot completed for this fic that we wrote for SBL. We just don't have the nerve to post it when so many are waiting for a real update. So, once we get the next chapter up, you'll get a bonus...an outtake of Darkward, Domward and Bella. Yum!
