'cause my stupid computer won't let me do accents on my words, it is now cliches.

Aaaanyway, what do you roll your eyes at in fanfictions?

If you see them, do you flounce?

My version of a fanfic cliche would have to be Alice who is a pixie that runs around spreading everyone in hypnotizing pixie dust that makes everyone think she's awesome and takes Bella to got torture her shopping and play Bella Barbie, an Edward that must be Edward because he uses big words, Jasper that is a stoner/hippy and knows no other word than darlin', Bella that is confident on her beauty to do everything (in the books she was stated as plain and the men in Forks only saw her as beautiful because of her "good" personality and were blinded by their love) and a stupid as shit Emmett.

Just because I'm wearing my top with him on it and I really want some chocolate milk:

Here's a great take on New Moon:  LOL!Moon.

(Scroll down for the series of pics.)

Here I go. Please don't kill me, or throw tomatoes at me, because I not very fond of them

I have to admit that twilight is not my first love. I'll also admit that I haven't even read the books. I really like Vampires, but not I did not start with Buffy, The Vampire Diaries or any other TV show you can think of, I started liking Vampires when I read a little book called 'Dead until Dark.' Yes, I know, kill me now I'm spy for the other team.  The Southern Vampire Mysteries/Sookie Stackhouse Novels are so intriguing to me. She is a quirky and Loveable heroine. She is not soapy or in need of a man to complete her. She gets staked, stabbed, beaten, raped, trapped, deceived and many other things you can think of. But she is not shy, she tells you when she makes mistakes and sometimes she makes decisions I don't agree with. She is loyal and hates the thought of becoming a "kept woman" But on the other hand, there doesn’t seem to be soul mate in her life, and that my friends, is what attracted me to TWILIGHT.  So by now I have read at least 50 or more twilight fics, ranging from AU/AH/Cannon pairings/Non-Cannon pairings, Jasper and Maria, Bella and Peter, Edward and Rosalie and anything else you can think of. Basically I have fallen in love with Romance stories.  I have seen the movies (BTW the first one sucked) a couple of times. I love TLYDF, among other websites. Is twilight your first love? I leave you with some pictures of my favorite Viking. I hope you like him and become entralled by him as much as I am.

PS. I told you I was a spy for the other team ; )

.

So. I'm reading The Elite by Fate of Gabriel. I'm going through my older "to be reads."  

And. Well.

I'm not anti-non canon pairings so I know it's not that....I think I just don't like the characters that much.  Which has nothing to do with the writing or the material, I just can't seem to get behind anyone and that includes Alice. 

My question to those that have read it...I'm on Chap. 10...and I'm just wondering if it's worth sticking it out?  I know, I know that's subjective but... 

Like does Rosalie get hers in the end? Does Alice wake up from the "fitting in" spell and stand up to her? 

Is it icky when/if Edward and Alice get it on?  (this is probably the only pairing I find a little...ew.) 

What did you think?  

I guess I could read the reviews to see what others said, but nah. I like y'alls opinions. 

Today I found out that the boy (I call him boy 1)  who loves my friend is also trying to help another boy  (boy 2) to win her over. That's just weird. Well, honesty this boy 1 is the one I love. And I help him win over my friend. But my friend loves boy 2. How mad is it? It's just... life is so funny sometimes. I wish everything was easier and less complicated.

And how about you? What's your maddest situation in love life? I mean, it doesn't have to be your life, but your friends, maybe? Do you know some fics about really complicated situation like this? With web of people that love the certain person who love another etc. 

The Emperors of Washington is an amazing fic by the lovely Miss gallantcorkscrews and if you haven't read it yet I suggest you do because its creative, innovative and something completely different. 

I just wanted to discuss the notion of the HEA.  I've read some other fics out there that don't follow the Bella/Edward plan of falling in love and being together forever and I enjoy them just as much as one's with HEA.  But, when reading reviews (I like to see what others have to say) it seems that a lot of readers feel cheated and dissapointed that the writer dose not grace them with a HEA, even if the writer states there won't be one.

So, it just got me thinking, do you require a HEA?  And if the author states there won't be one will you continue reading?

I found this while clicking around McSweeney's Internet Tendency, and subsequently loled. Now I shall share the yucks.

In conclusion, if you're not reading McSweeny's you should be.

Kristen Stewart isn't the only girl in R-Pattz's life...

Twilight star Robert Pattinson has kept us all guessing over his relationship with co-star Kristen Stewart, but we can reveal that, in reality, he is closer to his agent Stephanie Ritz.

While his on-off romance with Kristen, 19, has cooled since the summer, Brit hunk Robert has strong feelings for thirtysomething Stephanie.

‘Whenever he needs advice, Stephanie's the one he turns to,' a source tells Now . ‘She's very supportive of his musical aspirations and is helping him to get that off the ground.'

Kristen dumped her boyfriend Michael Angarano to hook up with 23-year-old Rob, but things have never been stable and they've had screaming rows about Rob's wandering eye and, in particular, his closeness to Stephanie.

Kristen's furious that he spends so much time with her and seems to hang on her every word.

‘Rob and Kristen never talk about their relationship publicly because they're not sure there's much to talk about. They ham it up for the cameras to help the movie get publicity, but other than that they find it a difficult subject.

'There's a real chemistry between them, but they're so young they don't know what they want. It's a bit of a mess, to be honest.'

‘Rob's always been a troubled soul and left the UK for Hollywood so that he could escape his demons. That doesn't make for a great boyfriend.'

JUST AN ASIDE, I LOVE THIS FIC. 

 eerrmm...sorta. i saw this ad on facebook and i couldn't resist checking it out:

In this personalized vampire romance novel, our heroine meets a mysterious hero whose passion is stronger than his bite. Perfect for fans of the Twilight movie and books!

Vampire Kisses begins with a chance meeting of our heroine and hero at a college library, but their encounter is short-lived as our main man suddenly vanishes... leaving our heroine lusting for more.

Their next unexpected rendezvous occurs at a campus alumni party, and after some clever repartee the hook is set, but once again our hero mysteriously disappears. Not to be outdone, our heroine and her best friend decide to hunt for their mystery man.  Little do they know the tables have turned, and they are the ones hunted!

Our hero is centuries old and doomed by a vampire's curse. Luckily, his intellect and compassion enable him to control his primal instincts. Nevertheless, he shies away from our heroine, fearing his vampire urges will harm the one he both admires...and desires.  After much intrigue, our couple's paths become entwined and it's not long before cupid's arrows find their mark and they fall in love.

The plot thickens when our hero's unnatural habits give him away, and our boisterous beauty discovers that the man she loves has a bite that is definitely worse than his bark. They are forced apart; he by his worry of turning his beloved into one of his own, and she by the unsavory thought of becoming her love's next meal.

But will love conquer all? Can our heroine live without her true love, or will our hero make her his mate for life and forever after? Vampire Kisses is full of intrigue and passion!Romantic Tip: For a little extra fun and excitement, include a set of vampire teeth along with this book. These can be found at costume shops or "dollar" stores.

Remember: You co-author Vampire Kisses by selecting the heroine, hero and heroine's best friend - and even your dog or cat! Vampire Kisses is 175 pages, professionally bound, with over 26 characteristics to personalize making it a gift that is truly unique and sentimental. A gift that will be cherished forever.

With its personalized front cover, this book will look stunning on your coffee table or bookshelf. What a wonderful gift idea for all occasions! Why read between the lines when you can read between the sheets?

So...you can even get a preview by entering your name and the name of your hero..which of course i did. i'll post that in the comments. 

thoughts? how many tweens to you think will actually by this?

In the last few weeks, I have found myself reading my fav'd fics quite half heartedly. I skim and speed read and skip to the end, and frankly, I've had enough. So somebody...anybody...send me a fic rec that's gonna move me. I don't want too much angst. I prefer AU/AH with a grown up Bella and Edward. I don't need or want lots of lemons, I just want a good story with passion and plot. Maybe it will motivate me to get back on the ball with writing my own FF's cuz mama is in a serious funk.

So come on bb's...light my fire.

My first post on ADF and it's long overdue and comes at the lovely wolvesnvamps' prompting.

I want to talk about imprinting. Specifically, I want to talk about Jacob imprinting on Renesmee and why no one should ever call it a happy ending, unless they think a supernatural lobotomy sounds like fun (or hate Jacob with a firey passion.)

I believe that imprinting is a tragedy. It's like a genetic defect that forces you to be whatever someone you have never met and know nothing about wants or needs. It is not love. In fact, it represents the negation of any possibility of love, if love is grounded in free will, which, I believe, it absolutely has to be.

I've been arguing lately with people who think I'm disturbed and possibly illiterate for not understanding that imprinting is a wonderful, beautiful thing which gave Jacob the happy ending he deserved.

In order to explain to them why I see it as a form of brainwashing, I had to *shudder* go back and reread some parts of Breaking Dawn.

One part in particular.

The imprinting scene of epic, epic doom.

Upon rereading I was struck by just how extreme and frankly terrifying Stephenie made imprinting. Up until Breaking Dawn we hadn't had a front row seat on an imprint, so there was a lot of wiggle room as to detail of the experience and the extent of the change in personality. And yet Stephenie chose, in Jacob's case, to make it as offensive and upsetting as possible.

To anybody who defends imprinting, all I can do is quote the following, and hope you change your mind in the time it takes for me to snap my fingers:

Everything that made me who I was - my love for the dead girl upstairs, my love for my father, my loyalty to my new pack, the love for my other brothers, my hatred for my enemies, my home, my name, my self - disconnected from me in that second - snip, snip, snip - and floated up into space.

There it is, in black and white (or green...) - the absolute and unequivocal annihilation of the character of Jacob Black. In his own words - in Stephenie Meyer's own words, everything that made him who he was is gone.

Now I know some of you may be thinking "And good riddance!", but for Jacob fans, it's pretty much the cruelest possible ending for our character that any of us can think of. His death, heroic or not, would have been infinitely preferable, because at least he would have retained his dignity, and, you know, actually been Jacob Black until he was no more.

So to those who say imprinting isn't brainwashing, or that Jacob fans got a good deal out of Breaking Dawn because he got some face-time before he was rubbed out and replaced with a baby-loving freak, I say read the quote and tell me that again like you mean it. If they can, I'll be very impressed and recommend they take a chance on Hollywood.

I would love to try it on Stephenie Meyer someday.

 This is kinda long, so I'll post the rest in the comment so I don't spam the homepage:
