Here I Go Again

I have decided to post Blood and Honey once again on Fictionpress.com even though it didn't get that much attention when posted over there the first time. This is one of my personal favorites and if I love it, that's all that should matter. I love the characters of Matt Reilly and Lindsey Holland and the story is very personal to me and I want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to read it. Also, I posted a new chapter of The Prize on AFF.net. This is the story everyone always wants me to update more than any other one so now that I have, please read and review for me. Thank you.

The Prize - Chapter 13

I just updated chapter 13 of The Prize on AFF.net so check it out and please review it for me. I took it in a different route than I initially intended but there is a lot of foreshadowing of problems that will arise in Tyson and Amy's relationship. And those problems are going to pop up sooner than anyone would like so read the chapter closely for clues. Thank you for all of the warm wishes, compliments about Sammy, and all of the fanart this story was given. Just remember to now be a bit more patient with me and my busy schedule. You guys are the best. Also, thank you to Amanda for the pictures below. I will post the rest you sent me later.

Picture Fun

These pictures were emailed to me with the request of being specifically used for "Picture Fun". Tell me which couple you think of for picture 'a', 'b' and 'c'. I love these pictures and I think they are great so which couple should be great with them? Thank you for sending them to me! And the one with the couple in the blue jeans is extremely hot. I'm not even sure what couple that should represent! Remember that you can email pictures to me at anytime and I will always post them if you wish me to. I also have more fanart for The Prize coming.

The Choice is Yours

I am rewriting the next chapter of The Prize since my computer hates me and somehow lost everything I had previously saved on the appropriate disk. It is a bit discouraging because the chapter was almost complete and then to have it all gone... *sigh*. Anyway, if you remember from the last chapter, Tyson and Amy are now officially dating, beginning a relationship with one another, and taking things to the next physcial level. I am always interested in what my readers want to read since without readers, my writings wouldn't have much point.

In the newest chapter, I have planned that Tyson and Amy will eat a family dinner at Shelby's house, meeting her, Ryan, and Rachel and Tyson's nieces and nephews. Of course, not all goes according to plan with some things about Tyson's past being exposed. My question to you is in regards to this chapter, do you want Tyson and Amy to get into a fight concerning his lack of communication or do you want the dinner to be more embarrassing humor with Ryan telling Amy secrets from Tyson's childhood that a guy wouldn't want this new girlfriend to find out? It is up to you. Either it will be a serious conflict or a light-humored one. Let me know. Thank you.

The Prize Fanart - Part IV

Lauren sent me these pictures that reminded her of The Prize:
Also, check out the following link: The Homecoming Queens, a band Lauren is the drummer for, and listen to the song "Summer Song". Every time they play it, it reminds her of Ryan Reed and Rachel Clay from Circle Park so be sure to support Lauren and her band and listen to the song. Thank you Lauren! And thank you to everyone who sent me the fanart.

The Prize Fanart - Part III

Alessandra found these pictures that reminded her of The Prize:

Bus Stop

Since I don't have that much time for writing at the moment, I didn't want everyone to go too long without a Templeton fix so I have posted a one-shot on both Fictionpress.com and AFF.net that I wrote a few months ago but never posted for some reason. Bus Stop is the story of Jim and Layla told from Jim's point of view. Please read it and review for me. Also, I was so pissed off. I had been working on the next chapter of The Prize but something happened to my computer and the chapter disappeared. It was discouraging to say the least but I promise to work on it the next time I have a spare minute... or hour. Thank you! And don't forget to read Bus Stop for me.

Fairy Tale Art

Thank you to everyone who emailed me these pictures and told me that you saw them and they reminded you of A Fairy Tale. I still cannot believe that people think of my stories so often. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Remember that this story is indeed a fairy tale and therefore, Andrew and Carrie will fall for one another seemingly quickly since it is a common theme in such tales to fall in love at first sight. But don't worry. That doesn't mean that there will not be conflict. There is always a challenge that the hero and heroine must overcome in order to be together. Remember my email is templetonko@yahoo.com. Please feel free to contact me with pictures, music suggestions or private comments about my stories. Thank you!

Although few people seem to give a crap about this story, I have updated chapter four of A Fairy Tale on both AFF.net and Fictionpress.com. I hope to have an update on The Prize this weekend since I have gotten more than enough emails asking me about it. I suppose no one cares about my other stories but this one but I am glad that so many love it. Hopefully, the next chapter of Tyson and Amy's story will be up in a few days. As for A Fairy Tale, read it if you want and review it for me. Thank you.

Musical Mix

Matt and Lindsey

Thank you to Lauren who emailed me this picture, saying that it reminded her of Matt and Lindsey from Blood and Honey. This picture is great. Thank you for sending it to me and for all of the kind things you said about me and my stories. I, without a doubt, have the best fans a person could ever have. If you want to send me pictures, messages or anything related to any of my stories, you can email me at templetonko@yahoo.com.

Blackout

I wrote a short one-shot story and posted it on Fictionpress.com earlier and am now posting it on AFF.net. It was written completely randomly and I'm not sure exactly where it came from but I wrote it nonetheless. It's fluff and somewhat predictable near the end but I hope everyone enjoys it. Below, there are pictures of the two characters: Mark Hawke and Jenna Morton. Please read and review Blackout for me. Thank you.
