50 Shades of Meet-Cute (in other words, how we met, ultimately falling in luuurve) Issuing a challenge to myself Barney Stinson style to create fifty meet-cute situations through a collection of LGBTQ related one-shots. Meaning, two people meet in some way and find themselves drawn to one another. These stories are meant to be snippets showing how they met and I plan to keep them in the 500-2000 word count range although I already broke that self-made rule with Shade #2...oops ;-) Intending to update with at least one story per week. Spoiler Alert: These pairings are guaranteed Happily Ever After endings ☺ ***If you have any celebrities/situations you'd like to read please feel free to share them with me and if I write it, I'll dedicate it to you! Hope you enjoy

Join twenty-six year old August Cruise on her yearlong journey. What journey is that? To sleep with a different woman each month of the 2014 calendar year. **Told through poetic stories. Completed and posting in 14 parts. M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S ;-D Update on March 12, 2015: I've noticed from my news feed that some people are skipping August. Also, the reads are lowest for that chapter, which leads me to believe it isn't being seen since Wattpad locked it. So, here is the link: http://www.wattpad.com/89067018-sensual-seasons-august

Every thirteen years she comes to collect a human heart. Who will be next? Written for the LGBT/Halloween themed short story competition.

Two old flames rediscover each other. Written in response to one of @RaeKitano's excellent prompts. (The first line was given; the story also had to include an argument and a poem.) Thanks to @TessMackenzie for agreeing to the use of one of her poems. Written Feb 2014. xx

This is just a little one-shot of girl meeting girl for a blind date told in rhyme. A rhymed episode of How I Met Your Mother I recently watched inspired me to try this out, so please be prepared for nuttiness on the following pages ;-D

Emma receives an intensely personal email from a stranger by mistake, a woman she doesn’t know, and starts emailing back. What begins as nothing more than a sympathetic conversation suddenly turns to sex, and Emma and the stranger start talking, and flirting, and writing each other dirty emails, and Emma wonders how far she wants this to go. ----------------- Um, hi, and so again, yes, I’m talking in here. Sorry. So this is a bit of an idea, kind of a mix of normal story, and the emails two people send each other. It’s got a bit more organized now, so I can explain properly. I’m not quite sure where it’s going, but basically a mix of Emma and Alyssa’s sort-of affair, and Emma writing emails to Alyssa about how she feels. So the chapters that say “Emma” or “Emailing” are the email ones. Um, obviously. Emma also writes dirty stories to Alyssa, about how she imagines they might meet, and what they do. This seems to be turning into a thing too. So at the moment, those are chapters 8, 9, 11, 14 , 15, 16, 20, and 21. These are basically short stories on their own, so if you want to just look at those without all the rest, you can. So this because I wanted to do some first-person, but not completely, and also not just them sending each other their fantasies, because that seems impersonal. So sending that, but also other stuff too, so you see what else is going on for them, other than what they actually say to each other. And kind of assume there’s lots of smiley and xxxs and stuff all through the emails, because, yeah. But I decided it was easier to read this way, like just as words in a conversation, as if they’re talking with their voices. That’s also why it’s “she wrote” rather than trying to describe each email turning up one by one. So hopefully the emails don’t look too weirdly formal like this though. Um, :), !, and xxx, there you go. And thank you for looking. Just, so much! I’m so glad people want to! Yay!

This is Sam first year of college and let's just say her mother is more excited than she is. However, something sparks her attention and it is not the cute boy on the baseball team. Can Sam survive this awkward situation?

When PerkyGrrl and Blueyez met online, it wasn't long before they developed a digital bond. So, why is it when Sonny and Jack interact in real time, the word 'bond' could not be used to describe their relationship? ***Inspired by one of my favorite movies You've Got Mail
