Today, I'm going to reshare one of my favorites! Cheers!

I love RumChata, so I'm going to share a few great drink recipes with you!

RumChata Root Beer Float

1 part RumChata
3 parts A&W® or Dad's® Root Beer

Combine over ice in a tall glass. Careful: to avoid separation please pour root beer over ice first, then add RumChata to cooled root beer.

A&W® or Dad's® root beer are recommended as they seem to separate less than other brands.

Finding AH, Non-canon and Dark Stories... Oh My!

 We are going to take a fast-forward approach to this post! This is where I thought this post should go as we will deep driving going forward!

At this point I was only reading cannon stories in Twilight fanfiction. I knew other types of stories existed but I hadn't explored any...YET! (Trust me, when I do its a total and complete game changer!)

So, I thought it would be fun to explore what AH, non-cannon and dark meant if you didn't know and the rating in fanfiction.

Defining fanfiction stories ... 101!

Canon - follows the original story, setting and pairings.

Non-canon - pretty much stories do not follow original setting, pairings, location and what not! LOL!

AH- all human - making mythological creatures completely human! This took me a bit to read because I was like  .. wtf would you do that?

Dark - Well, the name says it all, pretty much your taboo subjects, graphic, violence, abuse, all reader beware subjects.  I was like I'm staying away from that shit! (Jokes on me...just wait!) 

There is one other type of story, it's called a crossover - where two movie/book fandoms interact. ( I did attempt this and of course I'll share it with you down the road).

Rating for fanfiction stories

K- all ages

KT - not suitable for kids under 10

T - Teen

M- Mature - equivalent to R in movies

MA- Explicit - mature content 18 plus

Again.. Twilight changed my life in many ways, even what I was willing to read! I do blames this completely on Madam Akyria! She corrupted me, but I wouldn't change a thing. 

Next Monday you will meet one of my most favorite people in the world and my very good friend (even though we have never met in person). Are talking on the phone like all the time makes  for that!
