Sexiest Ward Alive, July TwiPeople Cover


With the last day of the month upon us after an exciting few weeks, it's time to sneak in a TwiPeople cover.

I'm not sure what an ode to some of my favorite fanfiction stories would be without a cover dedicated to 'The Office.' This story was the first Edward/Bella smut I read...or should I say Mr. Cullen/Ms. Swan? It was the first story I read where the characters were in their twenties.

For a lot of you it might have been your first fanfiction story. I know most of you have read it so I'm not going to go into a lengthy summary or review of the story. I will say that the story itself packs a punch and was heavily influential on me and my willingness to dive deeper into fanfiction. Was that true for you as well?

I think I have said this before, but if only the headquarters at GQ knew that their 2009 photoshoot of Rob in the corporate power suit and the perfect hair would be perfect advertising for a fanfiction story. There is such a desire to bring to life fanfiction stories through banners and videos, right? The GQ suit pictures succeeded in bringing to life a whole new character most of us never knew we were ready for---Beautiful Bastard.

And so chickadees, this month our favorite panty-ripping, full service conference or lingerie dressing room pleasure giver, elevator sex god, likes orange juice when he gets sick, brings cookies to his niece's tea party, wants to wisk us away and show us Paris IS our cover Ward!!

Stunning. Stunning. Stunning. by 17ForeverLisa.

In a lot of ways, he's our gold standard of Wards!

I know several of you are newer to fanfiction who have recently read it, and it seems it still holds up as a really well-told story. And who can argue with all the shock value sex? But there are some of us who still hold it near and dear to our fanfiction luvin' hearts, like @TwiloveSue. Months back when @TwiLoveSue was checking out the TwiPeople covers she had emailed and said she hoped we would be covering 'The Office' because that was one of her favorites. So Sue, we thought it would be fitting to dedicate this month's issue to you!!!

When kiTT told me she wanted to dedicate this TwiPeople cover to @TwiloveSue for her hospitality and for suggesting awhile back that we feature Beautiful Bastard on an upcoming cover, I couldn't think of anything to write. Sue's not hospitable. I didn't know she liked The Office, either. Just kiTTing! My bestie, Sue, has a ginormous heart. She was my roomie in Forks, the one who called me during the Twi Convention so I could try and hear the Q&A with the Holy Trinity, the one who called me from the Eclipse premiere tent city/red carpet, and the one who opened her home to me when I went to the San Diego Comic-Con last week. Her hospitality knows no bounds. I know she's read a few *coughseventeenthousandcough* fics and that The Office is one of her favorites. The Office was one of the original BIG stories and still holds a special place in the hearts of readers and ff history. And, I'll have you know, it's actually one I've read too. Love ya, Sue! Hope you enjoy the cover.   ~Lisa

Hope everyone enjoys the cover and that it illuminates Beautiful Bastard in all his glory (ok well not ALL his glory *looks forward to Rob in Bel Ami*) in a way that completely compliments your fond memories of the story.

And recently Creations by Jules was told me how much she loved the BB and was hoping to pay tribute to him through a future desktop, sooooooooo we decided to coordinate. Her vision of the Beautiful Bastard is just as amazing as ours and is a must see!!! Click here to go to her website and download yourself a new desktop!!!! Thanks @creationsjules for doing such a beautiful job and wanting to link up with us!

I feel like the mention of 'The Office' is going to bring up a lot of stories. Errr....I mean about many of us finding fanfiction or perhaps bonding with others over this story. Did you think I wanted you to tell me about your office trysts? Well feel free if you want to share those too, I guess!

Gah! The cover is amazing!
And Jules wp is stunning!
Well, TT what can I say? The Office was one of my firsts and so it will always hold a special place in my heart. It's mix of smutty lemons and true emotion set the standard for fanfiction.

I loved reading The Office... it was the last fic I read on my laptop before it crashed. I will blame that Beautiful Bastard for being too hot to handle ;) This is definitely on my list fic recommendations to people new to the fanfic twismut world!

Great cover Lisa!

TwiloveSue said...

kiTT and Lisa - I absolutely love the Beautiful Bastard, Paris, that GQ picture, and this Twi-cover!! Lisa, if it was a poster, I'd proudly hang it on my wall and not even care what my husband had to say about it. Just... wow. Thanks for dedicating this cover to me. I'm really honored and so touched :)

My first fanfic was Wide Awake (talk about jumping right into the world of fanfic with both feet!) and The Office was my second. Gawd I love my Edwards :)

XOXO

Sigh. Alrighty, where's the link to the story?

17foreverlisa said...

Jeanette and Kassie: Thanks!

Sue: So glad you like it, and something tells me a poster could be arranged ;)

Jules: *bites knuckle* The WP is so hot! As always, your visions knock my socks off.

kiTT: I can't do these covers without your input. Love our collabs.

TongueTwied said...

@IJM, What can you say? What you said is perfect. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

@Kassie, ROFL his hotness crashed your laptop! Definite possibility! I rec it too!

@TwiLoveSue, I can direct you to a place that makes posters online. j/s I'm glad you like it! It makes quite a statement doesn't it?

@Munkee, I'll send you the 'link' ;)

Kelly said...

That Cover is simply gorgeous! Lisa, you out did yourself!

This was my gateway story as well... and IJM is right.. it did indeed set the standard...

Beautiful Bastard...(sigh)... indeed :)

XOXO

Lisa, again fabulous job with the TwiCover. I've said it before, BB was my very first 'ward'. Because of him, I am now addicted to this crazy world of lemons and angst, drama and snarkiness! My girlfriend asked what she should read to get her started and I gave her this one. {Just don't tell nobody!!!} She dove right in and sent me texts all day! She couldn't believe their "progress" and she was only at page 32!!! I believe this one ruined us for future stories...lemons up the yingyang!!!

GQ Rob is Beautiful Bastard to me.

Lovely lovely post Ladies! I <3 you two big time!!!! NaughtyHB (the new nickname from BellaTesoro!)

BellaTesoro said...

I'm just now checking in to see this all because I've been in my usual ff
haze. So I get what reading something like the Office does to you. I loved The Office because I was into the plot, ok, that's a lie, I was into it because of the smut. I'm just like all the rest of you h00rs.
kiTT great post.
Lisa, gorgeous cover!
@NaughtyHB, if a name fits..:)

creationsbyjules said...

Fantastic post kiTT (I so love that gif!!) and thanks again to you and Lisa for letting me join in the fun with this one. BB totally got under my skin when I read this for the first time recently so that is why I felt the need to get the desktop wp out of my system ;) Glad you enjoyed it and thank you both for your kind words about it. *mwah*

Fantastic cover Lisa - as freaking always!! <33

Luxie said...

Heya KiTT! You're doll for notifying me of this post. :)

I have verah verah fond memories of Beautiful Bastard. ;) The Office was one of the first fics I read. And I just remember my initial reaction, being, "Holy shit. This is hot!" And just generally going a little crazy over the idea that Edward Cullen had a penchant for ripping pretty, expensive panties. lol.

Such a clever idea w/ these TwiPeople banners, girls! Gorgeous!

TongueTwied said...

@Kelly, I agree. Lisa outdid herself on this one!

@HB, kudos for sharing with your RL friend. I didn't know BB was your first! glad you liked!

@BT, There was a plot, I think. Something about eating pancakes and how to get to Paris. right?

@Jules, our timing could not have been more perfect! Your desktop is gorgeous and details the story so well. Any Ward that gets under skin you should feel free to do a desktop for because we all benefit!

@Luxie, I'm really glad you RSVP'd! And I'm so glad you like it. Wasn't sure if you were a strictly Fifty girl or if before him there was BB!

I forgot to say I had the pleasure of seeing a RL friend's reaction to reading just the first chapter in the flesh and the look on her face was priceless.

17foreverlisa said...

Kelly: Thanks! You mentioning that The Office was your gateway story was a good analogy for ff in general for me...a gateway drug. I'm SO addicted.

hisbella: Thanks again! Love the new nickname BellaTesoro gave you. I know first hand that it's perfect for you ;)

BellaTesoro: "...I was into the plot, ok, that's a lie..." LMAO!! Good thing you retracted that.

Jules: Thanks so much! I'm so glad it worked out for you to share your kick-ass BB wallpaper for this post. As I told you earlier, I don't know how you "see" what you do, but we are blessed to be able to enjoy your vision(s).

Luxie: This is definitely kiTT's brainchild. I have loved every minute of working with her on these posts and am glad you are enjoying them too.

rpfangirljr said...

The cover is gorgeous!!! Can i order multiple copies??? I need one to drool on... One to keep safe, one to read... That's all I'll list here.

I LOVED that story, too. It was my first fic. No office trysts... I wish... with Edward of course.

Smitten said...

Dayum, that cover is all kinds of HOT!! Nice work Lisa & kiTT!!

Yup, you guessed it, haven't read this one either... but it's not for lack of trying - I can't find it. *whispers* I could use a "link" also kiTT. Purdy please!
