Aaaand, now I'm ranting, I will stop. Point being, if you didn't read all the entries - go READ!!

<strong>Summary:</strong> Bella Swan's world is about to be turned upside down when she meets a strange boy named Bronze. His child-like attitude is just what she needs to step down off the pedestal she lives upon. <br />
<br />
An End Has A Start blew the public vote out of the water by getting nearly 50% of all votes made. Her story, My Sweet Thing, was not only well written, but original and creative as well. From the not-so-typical Charles Swan, frontman of Swan Contruction, and his somewhat spoiled daughter, Isabella, to Bronze (aka, Edward Cullen), the white trash from the trailer park who claims to attend Bella's prestigious school. Either way, her characters are not like you've ever read them before and you'll do yourself a favor to read this fabulous one-shot!<br />
<br />
Part of the prize for winning the public vote was for us to highlight the author and get the word out about their other stories. When we went to An End Has A Start's <a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1334379/An_End_Has_A_Start">fan fic site</a> we were astounded by not only how many fics she already had under her belt, but also by the overwhelming response she gets from all of her stories.<br />
<br />
Because of time constraints we have not had the opportunity to read any of her 13 stories, but just from the summaries, trust that they are next on our list!! We urge you to go check out her profile and see what she's all about. From what we can tell, she seems like a really amazing girl!!<br />

A lemony, zero angst, fluff ball oneshot from the HEA of your choice, written for the My Precious Fandom Whose Line is it Anyway? contest. I used all seven of the prompts listed below, but I may or may not have nudged #2 just a bit to suit my proposes.<br />
<br />
This story gets the honorable mention of Judges' pick. It is a light, funny, and sweet one-shot that keeps you smiling the whole way through. One of the things Twilly did so well, and what was really the point to this contest, was usage of the prompts. Not only did she use every one, but they flowed flawlessly into the the story. I loved the imagery she provided for this lazy morning between Edward and Bella, and the ending was completely precious.<br />
