How Limpward came about...

So... after a Facebook wall-to-wall joke about the different Edward's we read about in the fanfic world, my friend Lindi and I started a list of funny/odd/gross Edward's we'd like (or possibly not like, but the thought is funny) to see.

Siamesewards, Paedoward, Transgenderward, Dwarfward and Leprosward were a few that came to mind... and crazy as it is, I think a few have been written! Yikes! So wrong on so many levels. Anywho....

Limpward was another suggestion. I thought that was the WORST thing we could bestow on Edward The Fan-Freaking-Tastic so I started to write a little ditty about him. This was WAY back in April '09.

I needed to get my butt into gear and finish the story as I had some funny ideas in my head, then the Twific Indie Awards went ahead and threw a "First Time Writers Challenge". That was the kick I needed and I completed my one shot in time to enter the contest.

After a drunken day out in York on a trip home to the motherland, I received a text telling me I'd won the runner-up spot on the popular vote! Wahoo... *big old pat on the back*...

Many of the wonderful peeps that reviewed asked me if I'd continue the story. I think I will. In fact, I know I will. My one stipulation... I want to get three or four chapters under my belt before I post so that I won't ever feel like I'm leaving anyone (including myself and Limpward) hanging - pun intended, I think.

So... watch this space and in the New Year, Limpward will be back for more.

The original one shot is posted in the post below (or I guess above)... enjoy!
