Will the Real Justin Please Stand Up?

So, I know I keep saying I found the perfect picture of Justin but honestly, I have been unable to match the vision in my head to any picture I can find. I know I say I found it but those always leave me unsatisfied and I keep looking. The pictures of Poppy are perfect. She is the spitting image of the vision I had of her when I first created her two years ago. Justin obviously is another story. I found a picture of a someone with the right black hair and the face. What do you think of this Justin?

Justin?

Your Decision

I will be honest that I have not planned out the Nikki/Chase storyline in the rewrite of Wonderwall. In the original and followup, Even After All, Chase turned into a big asshole, Nikki and him broke up and the love triangle between Nikki/Lawson/Abe began. Now personally, my least favorite story of mine is Just What I Needed. I am not good writing love triangles because I love my characters, I don't want to see any get hurt. Strange but true lol.

Now, in Collide, Abe ends up with Cecilia Monroe and Lawson and Nikki continue to date but I do not know if I like that. In my Wonderwall rewrite, Chase and Nikki are going to have a more detailed, more stable relationship and I am not sure whether or not they are going to break up. I am going to leave it up to the readers and what you want. This is one decision that will be made by you.

a.) Chase and Nikki remain together

b.) Chase and Nikki break up near the end of the story

If Nikki and Chase do break up, Nikki and Lawson will be together but if Nikki and Chase remain together, then I will write a story in which Lawson finds love. And just so this is clear, with the way the rewrite of Wonderwall is going, it will be left with no loose ends, therefore the sequel Even After All will no longer be relevant.

Please vote and let me know what you, the readers, want in regards to these characters. I will write what gets the most votes - kind of like the Choose Your Own Adventure books. Do you remember those? I used to love those things.

Chase and Nikki

It occurred to me that I never posted a picture of Chase Merra when I was posting pictures of all of the friends from the Wonderwall series. I had already posted a picture of Nikki Hawkins but honestly, I never liked that picture I used. Now, I am not the biggest fan of hers but every time I write Nikki, I always seem to picture Lindsay Lohan in my mind - she has that wild child bitchy vibe to her that is absolutely Nikki's personality. I am satisfied with these pictures that I have chosen to portray the couple. Please enjoy.

Book Cover

My friend, Lauren - the one who does most of my fanart, made this for me as sort of a banner for The Prize and I wanted to post it for everyone's enjoyment. Enjoy!

Gorgeous

So, I don't know if it's just me, but I adore the way Tyson and Amy look together. I think they are gorgeous and I am glad that I chose the particular actors that I did to represent them. I found more pictures of the two and I just wanted to post them because I like to look at them. I am working on the next chapters of both The Prize and Wonderwall and I will notify you all when I finish those and post them on Aff.net. Enjoy the pictures!

Wonderwall Fanart

I don't know if anyone enjoys the fanart I post on this blog but my friend Lauren has made some for Wonderwall and I wanted to put them up for everyone to see. She found random pictures on the internet that reminded her of the story and I think they are all beautiful so I hope everyone likes them. [all of these photographs belong to their respected owners].

Wonderwall: Chapter Two

I just uploaded the second chapter of Wonderwall on FictionPress.com and I hope to have it posted on AFF.net soon enough. Please read the story for me and leave a review. Not that many people seem to be reading it and I hope it's not because the story isn't of quality. Please let me know and give me some feedback. This story is definitely more in-depth and detailed than the original and I hope everyone enjoys it.

Preston and Kristen

In my rewrite of Wonderwall, there have been many changes. One change has been giving Justin's best friend, Preston, more depth and characterization. Also, I have added a new character, Kristen Fisher, Poppy's best friend. I am unsure still whether or not I will have the character of Nikki Hawkins in this version. Below are pictures of Preston and Kristen. Please read Wonderwall either on Fictionpress.com or AFF.net and let me know what you think. This rewrite is going to be a novel. It is going to be far more in-depth and detailed and it will move slower than the original. Let me a comment or a review. Thank you.

Wonderwall: Chapter One

I have just posted the first chapter of my Wonderwall rewrite on Fictionpress.com and hope to have it posted on AFF.net by this evening as well. As most know, this was my first story written and posted so it has a special place in my heart. Please read and review it for me. A lot, A LOT, has changed from the original so let me know what you all think so far. Thank you and to those who still read this blog (I'm not sure if too many actually still read this) but thank you to you too.

Wonderwall Rewrite

I am officially working on a rewrite of my first story ever Wonderwall and am planning to post it on Fictionpress.com this time instead of on AFF.net. I will let everyone know when I am finished with the first chapter. I am excited about this. I have read all of my stories over and I am probably most unsatisfied with Wonderwall just because it was my first story and I was definitely honing my skills while I wrote that. I want to make it better. Justin and Poppy are my favorite couple that I created and I want to do them justice by writing the story that they deserve. I finally, FINALLY, found the perfect picture of Justin. This is just how I imagined him and described him in the story - black unruly shaggy hair, curly when wet, blue eyes, and pale skin. And of course, the model/actress used for Poppy is the spitting image of her that I had in my head while writing her character.
