MotU: Musical Tribute

A tribute to Fifty Shades for the anniversary of the beautiful fan fic by Snowqueens Icedragon. Music and lyrics by Bettigefecht.

LYRICS:

Quick to be angered

Hard to please

Hot and cold and bittersweet

Everything about him

Makes me weak in the knees

And yet I'm still on my feet

Cuz when he shifts his way

From bright to moody

It's just one of the fifty shades

Of his Beauty

Some call him master

Some call him a mess

Sometimes it hurts

Sometimes I want it faster

Sometimes I want less

Love comes in spurts (little spurts)

Because the gift he

Makes me

Is a treasure

He gives me fifty shades

Of pleasure

Doubt swiftly fades

Here's my confession:

(Goddess to god, inner goddess calling)

I crave his fifty shades

Of love and passion

Fifty shades of love...

Up.Side.Down made judges pick - I made banners :)

Here they are, fresh and still steaming...

the banners for the winners of the Obsession Contest.

Instead of just making standard award banners for everyone, I decided to create individual story banners, because I believe that outstanding achievements in a competition deserve a real prize. And because, well... it's me, Betti a.k.a. the Button Guru, so... you know me - it's the way I roll! :)

Congratulations, winners, and I hope you enjoy this little extra treat.

The banners embiggen if you click on them. And there's a story link provided with each banner. Go and read, folks, or you'll be missing out!

You can still read all of the contest entries in the Obsession Contest C2.

Personal recommendation:

Especially one story that didn't make it into the open voting, is definitely a winner in my book, because it's well-written, courageous and heartbreakingly real, is Tora Tora Tora by erikasbuddy. Not for the faint of heart... but life isn't all sunshine, right? Read!!

Thanks, thanks, thanks...

to the organizers of this contest - Lambcullen, the amazing dihenydd, LaraCFF, Sweetp-1, Summer35 and Mrs.Robward - and thanks to all the talented writers who entered.

I truly enjoyed being part of it!!

YTC-inspired Song by Andnowthemoon

The über-talented Andnowthemoon wrote and recorded this beautiful song for me, inspired by "Your True Colors", which seriously brought tears to my eyes.

When I asked her what earned me the honor, she said this:

"I don’t really know why I wrote it either, other than YTC is such a captivating story and you’re a songwriter too, and I felt inspired…"

Well, who am I to question that reason, and wow... I'm still blown away! Such a sweet song, with the lyrics right on the nail, and she sings it beautifully. I just HAD to make a little video for it. Enjoy!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANDNOWTHEMOON!

I'm going to introduce you to the shining talent and personality of this artist in full extend soon on my other blog bettimusictwilight. Stay tuned...

(and now back to finishing chp 20...)

Your True Colors Spin-Off

For all of you incredibly awesome, faithful and patient readers of my humble fanfic who are waiting hungrily for the next upload, here's a little... well, let's say...

I BROUGHT A SNACK!

Yummy! Becky Boodles, author of the Dogward fanfic "And Then You" asked for a Button Guru Bartering. In exchange for the banner artwork I made for her Dogward, she wrote me a sexy one shot, starring Beatrice/Esme (Annie's boss) and Carlise (the doctor, not the budgie!)

Check out "The Doctor will see you now" 

by Becky Boodles!

I loved it so much that I made an extra banner for it too.

To see what I created for Becky (and other barterers), what I got in exchange, and to learn about the Button Guru bartering rules, click the mini-banner below to be taken to my main blog.

I've been officially pimped!!!

Yay!!!  The fabulous Lemon Sisters made "Your True Colors" the star of their infamous, panty-dropping MMMMMMONDAY - how cool is that? I'm bursting with pride... click on the sexy Santaward above to go there and read their lovely review!! And while you're there, dont't forget to click that follow button... it's rewarding, especially if you like good fan fic. Promise!
