I'm on the edge of my chair even tho; I know what is going to happen.
Date: 26 Jan 2022 5:18 AM Title: Origins: Living in my Future
There is such a huge treasure trove of ideas when writing about her past like this. I like how each chapter does something to explain this or that in the books. You are doing a faboo job!

I would love to see how Alice obtains money by herself. How she learns to talk to humans without attacking them. How Alice will blend in the cities that she will live in. What will be her living conditions before she does all of these things on her own? Will she rent an apartment or buy a house? Women of this era were not allowed nor was it acceptable to do such things as these alone like Alice is going to do. I am very curoius and excited about her journey to Jasper, Carlisle and Edward. :-)

Even as a new vampire with no memories, Alice was still thinking of fashion. ;-)

After I was born in 1949 my mother was in a hospital and received those type of treatments. Her aunt worked there and discovered that the Dr. who delivered me did nto inspect the afterbirth correctly and missed part of it. After she had a D&C tor correct the problem she was fine and came home. She never spoke of it to me but my grandmother told me when I was an adult. It is something I have wondered about sometimes but never asked her about it.

I think that you should have Alice remember everything she currently know, don't make her forget, I know you might be trying to stay true to canon but I'm curious what it could mean if Alice remembers all of it. even after being bitten by her sire, give it some thought
Author's Response:
Even though that would be interesting, this is part of a series were I tell each Cullen member's canon origin story, and the other two completed ones include Alice's memory loss.

Congratulations on your 10th anniversary as a twi-ffn-author!
I'm looking forward to your interpretation of Alice's life before Jasper and the Cullens.
Date: 27 Aug 2019 5:16 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I loved all the work you put into this. I love Edward even more.
Date: 27 Aug 2019 5:11 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Edward's life will never be the same.
Date: 27 Aug 2019 5:00 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I love how you gathered all this information to make a geat back story.
Date: 13 Aug 2019 12:09 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
This was definately a tough subject. Thanks
Date: 12 Aug 2019 6:26 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Nicely done
Date: 07 Aug 2019 3:11 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
She acts like a spoiled child. I'm glad she eventually leaves Jasper alone.
Date: 07 Aug 2019 2:36 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Can't wait for Alice's story. I so understand Edward being upset. Why didn't they get him a new room. Why the garage? This upset me that Carlisle and Esme didn't take care of Edward when he takes care of them with his gift.
Date: 05 Aug 2019 1:08 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I always believed that Tanya was a friend who hoped things would change with time. I do think when Bella first came into the picture, she gave it one last try to get Edward's attention. That was until she saw them together and realized that Edward had truly found his soulmate. Tanya had too much pride to be with someone who wouldn't put her first and she truly was a friend. She just had to morn the loss of the possibility of being with Edward.
Date: 21 May 2019 1:08 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Rosalie was never a nice person. She always thought of herself first. Edward would never like someone like her. Carlisle was crazy to think he would. Her bitchiness is in her DNA. I hate how many years Edward has to "hear" her nasty, mean thoughts. She only became somewhat nice after Edward and Bella had the baby. She finally found their worth in her life.

Emmett's story I now at a close. Thank you for your take on his life and future as a vampire.
Date: 15 May 2019 4:35 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
The final piece to the Cullen family puzzle has arrived.

Love your insights.
Date: 09 May 2019 1:00 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
That jewelry clerk hit his own form of the lottery. Lol
Family definitely has an uncanny way of blind siding a member. The 'brothers' found a way to work past the incident and form new bonds.
I could use a clairvoyant to help me with my retirement funds. Lol
Date: 03 May 2019 12:47 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
This is a delightful side story that compliments the cannon perfectly.
Date: 29 Apr 2019 2:25 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
I'm glad you included Star Wars.
Date: 18 Apr 2019 2:33 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Love your stories. Thank you for all the hard work.
Date: 17 Apr 2019 8:42 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Alice the peace keeper.......
Poor Emmett, no matter what he does, good bad or otherwise, he always ends up second guessing himself.
Date: 15 Apr 2019 12:56 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
I hope they eventually went back for their stuff or hired someone to pack and move it.
Date: 11 Apr 2019 1:37 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Happy Anniversary to you!
Jasper's reaction to and ultimate decision to leave Canada feels like the Cullen Clan of cannon.

You have mapped out the accumulation of family members quite nicely.

After taking Edward's room, how does Alice bond with Edward to the cannon level?
Author's Response:
That particular part will be in Edward and Alice's stories ;-)

Date: 28 Mar 2019 2:05 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Thank you. I like canon Alice so much better than the way she is often represented.
Date: 26 Mar 2019 4:05 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
I love all the details you put together. I have always loved Emmett. He is my second favorite. I think everyone needs an Emmett in their life.
Date: 25 Mar 2019 4:40 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
The thought of Rosalie and Edward as a couple is laughable. He should have known that Edward would never be attracted to her.
Date: 25 Mar 2019 3:32 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I know Edward hated what he did during this time. It made him the monster he didn't want to be. Maybe he had to go through this period, so his denial of human blood was his choice and not so much a burden. It became a true choice because he didn't like the way he was on human blood. He realized he was happier living around people and his family. He chose to remain more human. Some people need to learn the hard way.
Date: 22 Mar 2019 2:44 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
I loved Edward's mock title of Doctor of Philosophy, Dr.Emmett McCarty. Maybe that will push Emmett to really pursue higher education. Haha
It's sad that Rosalie can't find it in her head or heart to be content now that she has Emmett.
Date: 16 Mar 2019 4:49 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
His singer indeed.
Date: 16 Mar 2019 3:35 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
loooove this stories! can't wait for the others... thank you
Date: 07 Mar 2019 2:44 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Emmett is a very compassionate partner. Even though he and Rosalie will never be parents he still dotes on her and comforts her through his own pain of realizing the loss of a future family.
Date: 28 Feb 2019 5:16 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Your timing for the meeting between the two covens appears quite logical.
Is this also where Tanya decides to find a mate in Edward?
Emmett honing his strength and fighting skills will make for an entertaining read.
Date: 28 Feb 2019 1:44 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
I love all of your research. These are great stories.
Date: 27 Feb 2019 6:04 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
It is hard to see Edward this way. I know this was his dark period. I'm glad it was short lived.
Date: 27 Feb 2019 3:31 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Emmett is a mess. I don't think I could handle Edward's gift. It would probably drive me batty hearing so many thoughts.
Date: 24 Feb 2019 4:09 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
No wonder they all eventually learn how to mask their thoughts from Edward.
Date: 14 Feb 2019 1:17 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
That was pretty close on how I figured it went. I didn't think they had a written contract.
Date: 14 Feb 2019 3:19 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Interesting look into the first meeting with the Quileute Tribe.
Date: 07 Feb 2019 1:06 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
To save the rest of the family, especially Edward, it is best if these two have their own home to run to when needed.
Date: 07 Feb 2019 12:54 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Of course, Edward would want their happiness. Unfortuany it sets up Edward leaving and tasting human blood.
Date: 07 Feb 2019 4:10 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Emmett is very much a romantic at heart where Rosalie is concerned.
Edward has a long wait before he will feel the pull of a mate.
Date: 31 Jan 2019 4:41 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
When does Alice join them?
Author's Response:
Alice and Jasper joins in the year of 1950 so keep a look on the dates ;-)
Date: 24 Jan 2019 7:08 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
I think you have Emmett pegged well.
Date: 24 Jan 2019 4:23 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
His preparation and the proposal was perfect.
Date: 22 Jan 2019 3:32 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Edward is always so hard on himself. I think Edward took to this life easier because his family was dead. He didn't really leave anyone behind.
Date: 22 Jan 2019 3:20 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Emmett really is a good guy. I'm glad that Emmett went to Edward from the beginning. They became true brothers and best friends over the years.
Date: 22 Jan 2019 2:34 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
I have always loved Emmett. Rosalie not so much. He is too good for her, but no one else would put up with her attitude.
Date: 21 Jan 2019 8:11 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
I know everyone says Emmett's special talent is his strength, but I always thought it was his humor and friendliness.
Date: 17 Jan 2019 4:23 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Emmett's heart is so big. Rosalie is finding her perfect place in this life eternal, now that Emmett has arrived.
Date: 10 Jan 2019 7:58 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
This is so good.
Date: 10 Jan 2019 7:58 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
This is so good.
Date: 10 Jan 2019 4:17 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I'm so interested in this story. I always love Edward's perspective .
Date: 09 Jan 2019 10:10 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Well done.
Very fitting imagry and emotional context of their first time.
Date: 05 Jan 2019 5:03 AM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
In the cannon storyline we don't know how long it was before Rosalie let Emmett physically love her. So I'm wondering how she believes her vampire family thinks she and Emmett are screwing like rabbits when they know all about her tramatic history with Royce.
Author's Response:
It's just how I've interpreted the info I've acquired over the years. It says that Emmett and Rosalie's relationship was instantaneous and since they have such a physical relationship, this was what I had in mind. Edward also says to Bella in BD that it took a solid decade before the family could stand being close to the happy couple :-P

Emmett's speculation of Heaven and Earth seemed realistic considering his family circumstances.
His angel will have plenty to explain once he figures out he is no longer a natural human being.
Date: 03 Dec 2018 3:44 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
Enjoying the look into Emmett's life before he's turned.
Date: 26 Nov 2018 6:47 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains
You've done a fantastic job of recreating Emmett's personality traits during his human existence.
Date: 26 Nov 2018 6:36 PM Title: Origins: Destiny in the Mountains

Date: 11 Apr 2016 6:50 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I loved that you gave us these last five chapters all at once, but am sad that now the story is done! I hoope you didn't let the haters make you feel too bad, this was a really good story. I especially liked that it was somewhat different from most others. I look forward to whatever you may send our way next time! Thanks again!
Date: 11 Apr 2016 6:43 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Talk about an understatement! It took nearly a century, but he finally is about to find happiness, eventually!
Date: 11 Apr 2016 6:33 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
How very civilized and friendly of them both!
Date: 11 Apr 2016 6:24 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
That was one of the saddest things I've seen him do. The loneliness is really getting oppressive and I feel so bad for Edward.
Date: 11 Apr 2016 6:15 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
This was an excellent chapter! His family wants so much to help him and I think somehow Alice and Jasper did, just a little!
Date: 11 Apr 2016 12:26 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I really feel for Edward.
Date: 11 Apr 2016 12:15 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Maybe if they left him be and stop pushing he wouldn't be so bitter, did any of them think of that? That was one thing that always bugged me. They think they are being helpful but really conversations like the one with Alice are probably what would have pushed him to wondering and killing humans again.
Date: 03 Apr 2016 2:42 AM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I love that were seeing the world through Edward's eyes post soon
Date: 02 Apr 2016 3:36 AM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Marie, I was just thinking when I saw that you had an update that I should let you know how much I have thoroughly enjoyed this story. When I started to read it, I read what you had posted and I knew now was the correct time.
This story is wonderful! You have taken time and have done extensive historical research to put this together. At first I thought that it might be not that interesting because there was no Bella/Edward but you have proven me wrong.
It has been great to look back to the beginning. You were the one who could do that!
Thanks for bringing us along. I can't wait to read more!
Date: 01 Apr 2016 11:29 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I hate seeing him so lonely! I isn't that much longer that he has to be alone. Thanks for writing,
Lisa...Gail Cullen
Date: 01 Apr 2016 10:17 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
The mother/son dynamic between Esme ans Edward is always so lovely to read! I love that she tries so hard to give him hope for the future! The readers who started this thinking it would be action /adventure type stuff need to get another story going I guess. I really like this, butthen I like lots of different genres! Keep up the good work!
Date: 29 Mar 2016 7:51 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I would much prefer that Maria had been dealt with, permenantly, but I see that isn't going to bother the Cullens. Alice is their early warning system and that's pretty good! I look forward to what you have instore for them all the next forty-five years or so!
Date: 19 Mar 2016 1:11 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Please please do a version of Bella. I love everything that this story is. It's actually better than Stephanie version. Yeah I'm a fan. Can you give us a novella of Bella please. I will tweet this story forever. It so amazing and visual. I never got that feeling from the Twilight books. I can actually see these characters.
Date: 17 Mar 2016 8:56 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Of all people to show up and disrupt the even tenor of their existence, Jasper's creator! This is bound to be a very bad thing, especially since Alice is going to want to kill her! The reast of the family isn't going to be very pleased, either!
Date: 09 Mar 2016 11:19 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
You did well with it! I never did like the fact that Alice moved all of Edward's things out and gave him no room. That is just mean. He was there first so he should have the best room. I can't believe Esme thought it would be rude for Alice and Jasper not to have a room, but didn't think it was rude that Edward didn't have one. Do you think it is because he doesn't have a mate? If that is the case, I've sometimes wondered why he even stayed with them at all.
Thanks for writing.
Lisa...Gail Cullen
Date: 08 Mar 2016 11:41 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I still hate Alice and the rest of the family for kicking Edward out of his home. I know it's the garage but still,it makes it seem like he is unwanted now that there is another mated couple around. I'm not complaining about what you wrote, just the situation in general. I think you wrote it quite well.
Date: 08 Mar 2016 9:20 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I thought this was done exactly right! The building of this family has always intrigued me, that and the fact they all seem to get along well! So, now there is only one member left to meet, and since she hasn't been born yet, I guess we will see you later!
Date: 04 Mar 2016 4:09 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I liked it very much! Thanks for writing.
Lisa...Gail Cullen
Date: 03 Mar 2016 7:09 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
Slightly different timeline, but I doubt that matters much. The couple in the hospital must have been Charlie's future parents, thus Bella's future grandparents. The wolves sure weren't the least bit welcoming! Edward better learn a little Quileute, so he can understand the pack mind! I expect Alice and Jasper will show up soon.
Date: 17 Feb 2016 4:49 AM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
I'm glad you are feeling better! Thank you for writing.
Lisa...Gail Cullen
Author's Response: Yes, I'm feelings loads better, thanks! :-D
Date: 16 Feb 2016 9:40 PM Title: Origins: A Lost Soul
This close to La Push, they will probably meet up with a couple of Quileute shape shifters! Esme will be in her element, renovating that big old house. Sorry to hear of your surgery, but am glad that you are on the mend!
Author's Response: Don't worry, it was a good surgery! :) One I've wanted since I was 16 so I'm happy. The healing is just a bit painful :-P
