I promised you a picture...

Here is the picture that inspired Jasper's explanation for the helicopter pictures he found in Alice's studio. The pictures Alice had were a little less clear than this, she wasn't aware of the men strapped to the aircraft until Jasper made her really look.

But you get the point.

Also, here is the link to the true story. A little different to Jasper's version of events, but no less heroic...and no less heartbreaking.

Helicopter Rescue Mission

Until next time...

Posting Update!

Just a quick note to let you all know, Take My Hand is on course to be updated on Thursday. Once again, my girls have come good.

Below is a song I've used when writing some particularly heartbreaking moments from Jasper's POV. Also, for some bizarre reason, it always makes me think of my dad!

It's bizarre because my dad is in no way melancholy and, he can't stand Cat Stevens.

I'm a strange girl!

Until Thursday!

Outtake procedure.

Recently, I've had a lot of enquiries about outtakes, so instead of replying to them all individually, I decided to write my instructions here!

As I've said before, the outtakes are written for and, sent out to loyal reviewers. I'm not going to send them out to people who don't review, because it defeats the point of not only my efforts, but those who do take the time to review the story.

Also, FanFiction has changed the review reply process so, most of my outtakes no longer fit onto PM messages.

If have been reading Take My Hand and you see an outtake mentioned you think you might like, all I ask, is you leave one review per outtake required.

Put simply, 1 review = 1 outtake.

The chapter you review doesn't have to correspond to the outtake. Just let me know which one you want. As stated above, most of the outtakes don't fit in a PM. My email address is available on my profile page, please send me an email with the address you would like your outtake sent to.

FanFiction does not allow email addresses to be sent via PM, so please contact me via email.

Just in case you can't get it elsewhere, my email address is koko23cat@gmail.com.

There will be more outtakes written at some point, so keep checking the blog for more information!

Many Thanks!

Until next time...

Koko.

A delay in posting...

Good morning, my lovelies.

Many apologies, but Take My Hand will not be updated today.

As I have been pre-warning you over the last few weeks, real life has taken over and the chapter is simply not ready to be posted. This story is written up until chapter 57, so far, BUT, it is not edited and beta read.

I have put far too much into this story, and so have so many others, to post something that isn't up to par, so please be patient until I can rectify the situation.

I don't know when this will be. Maybe over the weekend, or maybe not until next Thursday. Hopefully, I'm giving you worst case scenarios here, and it will be up before then.

In the meantime...take a look at the cracking new header in this blog, designed (and fitted) by the awesome Frozen-Soldier. I could look at it all day...in fact, I probably will!

Also, I have a new page on this blog with links to some of the stories I read...so if you get bored, maybe you'll find something new on there.

Oh, oh, also...checkout the Hopeless Romantic Awards. Somehow, Take My Hand has eighteen nominations. I'm staggered and I hope whoever nominated me gets around to voting, too!

Seriously, though, this is a non Edward/Bella round of awards, so it's an opportunity for the secondary characters like Jasper and Emmett to shine.

Definitely worth a look!

Thank you for your continuing support and patience...

Until another time...

Koko.

Because I don't have enough to do...

I have now signed up to be a prereader for SparklyRedPen.com

They helped me unravel chapter 56 of Take My Hand and in return, I offered them my services.

Only Jasper stories, naturally...

Anyone have any TMH Jasper questions for me today???
