Tuesday's Best 10-25-2011

Good morning, my lovelies. I don't know about you, but we've had our first frost of the season this morning. Makes me want to make some hot cacao, and settle in under a blanket by the fire to read some wonderful fics. Plenty of ways to keep warm that way, right? ;-)


This week's Aradi's last time with us. I thank her for her wonderful contributions and support for the past year since she joined TwiSlash Unveiled. It's been a pleasure. Please leave her some love today. Connie79's going to be taking over for her in a couple of weeks, so bid her a warm welcome, as well. 


For now, why don't we see what goodies Aradi and I have found for you? Remember your towels and fresh panties, and let's get to it.

Guest Rec - Avioleta

When I was first asked to write a guest rec for this week’s edition of TwiSlash Unveiled, I was excited.  How could I not be?

But my excitement quickly bled into concern.  Concern because I literally had absolutely no idea what I would rec.

For the last few months, I’ve been entirely absorbed with Slash/Backslash.  The contest produced 48 fantastic stories this year.  And, if you haven’t finished your SBS 3.0 reading, I encourage you to go now, run! What are you waiting for?

But I knew that, as a co-host and judge, I would have the opportunity to review my favorite entries on TU, leaving me with the same question of what to rec this week.

When Fiction Comes To Life

Fiction Really Did Come to Life!

Ever stop to think of all the great benefits of reading slash? I’m sure you’ve considered the obvious…… enjoyment, pleasure, relaxation, escape… Not in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine it also bringing friendship, meeting amazing people, satisfaction in knowing there are others like you, and making a positive impact on the world. But that is exactly what I found when fiction really did come to life during a recent weekend in Chicago.

Good morning, my lovelies! Hope y'all are enjoying the Fall weather and are gearing up - slowly - for the oncoming season. Now, what's better with the chill returning to the air than a sweet, hot bit of fiction? Not a hell of a lot, I say, so why don't we hurry along and see what Aradi and MizzDee have in store for you today. Remember to grab a towel and a fresh pair of panties!

Tuesday's Best 10-11-2011

My apologies for running a little late today, but I had a very important date with my newest niece that I simply could not ignore ;-). I'm here now, though, and I am looking forward to sharing what MizzDee and I found for you this week, so let's get right to it!

Guest Rec - Einfach_Mich

Anyone that knows me knows that I’m a fandom slut and I’ve been reading fan fiction for a long time. Slash is a large portion of the fan fiction that I read and I read it in a lot of fandoms. So, since I’m a big ol’ slut, I decided to give you sampler of some of my fave fics from several fandoms. Now, you Twilight fans do not dispair. I have two Twi fan fics in here, an AU and AH, because I can’t even control my slutty ways in one fandom. As for the others, I have a diverse group of naughty delights for you from several fandoms including DC Comics, Harry Potter, Star Trek, X-men movies and even a little TV show called The OC. Oh yeah, nothing is safe when it comes to my slashy cravings. Without further ado, BRING ON THE SLASH FIC!

Slash/Backslash 3.0 Winner's Cirlce

The Slash/Backslash 3.0 winners are in!
Judges: avioleta, Capricorn75, Conversed, and theladyingrey

When SBS began accepting entries on August 1, 2011, we had no idea what to expect; we were absolutely blown away by the results.  Although we had hoped for a strong turnout, we had no idea how much excitement this round of SBS would generate.  

We received 48 fabulous entries by a wonderfully talented group of slash writers.

The caliber and quantity of entries was so high, that the judges had as much difficulty as our SBS readers in determining their favorites.

So, without further ado, here are this year’s Slash/Backslash winners:

When Fiction Comes To Life

HIV/AIDS

There are two items that make an appearance in just about every Twislash story: Lube and Condoms.   They are packed for ever trip, sometimes stashed in every room, and nearly always readily available.

And just why are they so important? Let’s leave the lube for another day, but those condoms are crucial to preventing sexually transmitted diseases, and most crucially of all, preventing the deadly HIV/AIDS virus from spreading.

I know very little about HIV/AIDS, so I plan to share links where much more information can be found.

Tuesday's Best 9-27-2011

Good morning, my lovelies. I trust that you're all in good health and spirits today. If not, then I hope you'll find a bright spot in today's recs from Aradi and MizzDee. Have those fresh undies and towels at the ready while we go check out what they've found for us this time.

Guest Rec - Drizl

Helloooo Slash lovers,
It’s totally awesome to be over here at TwiSlash Unveiled.  Thanks goes out to naelany for giving me the opportunity to let everyone know what I’m reading…I’m sure everyone is absolutely dying to know…rolls eyes…I have a few stories on alert right now…My drop everything I’ve got to read right at this precise moment is Sixty Five Hours by Owenic. The last update I read came when I was at work so I read it on my phone and let me tell you…I almost dropped my phone and fell off my chair. I know I gasped out loud…Really, if you aren’t reading that story… go now…it’s well worth it…Edward and Jasper work at Cullen Advertising. Jasper is out as a gay man and Edward is buried under a pile of clothes in the closet.  Hot Hot Hot!

Tuesday's Best 9-20-2011

Good morning, my lovelies. Hope the day finds you well and happy. I'd like to take this chance to officially welcome MizzDee to the fold, as she has her first rec today. To that end, why don't we just jump right in and see what's in store. I promise, it'll be good. Don't forget your towels and fresh panties, you'll need them.

Just some troubleshooting

Hello all! Don't mind me I'm just stepping in for a bit of technical troubleshooting. I think I have the bugs worked out and you shouldn't have any trouble with the readers now. *fingers crossed*

BTW, I've also enabled Mobile Blogger so when/if you access our lovely site from your mobile devices it should be much friendlier.

I miss and love you all and still think of you daily. Life was much simpler when I was immersed in the fandom and I find myself longing for those days now.

Tuesday's Best 9-13-2011

Good morning, my lovelies. Hope today finds you happy, healthy, and yearning for more goodies from us. Either way, Aradi and I found some great stories to share with you, so why don't we just jump right on in. Don't forget to grab towels and a fresh pair of panties!

Guest Rec - Owenic

First off, let me say a HUGE thanks to Naelany for asking me to do this. I went from squeeeing like a fan-girl to panic stations in three point eight seconds. I didn’t know what the hell I was going to rec. Nearly everything I read, or have read, has already been recommended on this here wonderful blog, because let’s face it...there are some fucking awesome stories out there.

So, I spent hours scouring my faves list, my yet-to-read list, even the favourite lists of my favourite authors, ending back at my list of faves...and I narrowed it down. To two.

One is epically popular. The other is basically unheard of.

One is Twilight fanfiction, the other is not.

Tuesday's Best 9-6-2011

Good morning, y'all. Hope the day finds you safe, sound, and healthy. Today is the last day that Conversed joins us with a rec, I'm sad to say. Real Life called, and she's answering, so join me in wishing her well. Thank you, Conversed, for your wonderful contributions. I hope RL settles soon. I for one would love to see you back again. It's truly been a pleasure.

That said, I'd like to welcome MizzDee on board, who'll be taking over Conversed's spot. She'll be joining us with a rec in a couple of weeks, since Aradi and I'll be up next week. Wish her a warm welcome in the mean time, though.

For now, let's see what Aradi and Conversed have in store for us. Remember to bring a fresh pair of panties and some towels, and off we go!
