I was unable to respond on the "age ain't nothing but a number" thread (which it looks like was deleted) because of the script used in the poll. I kept getting error messages when I tried to post comments. I was able to take the poll itself, but not reply.

So I thought I'd make a thread to discuss it incase anyone else couldn't comment, too.

Here's my input:

There was no option for 15, so I just put "Under 15." I feel like in this fandom, though, age is irrelevant. I've made so many friends in this fandom, ranging in age from 15 to 50! They all treat me the same.

The only thing that annoys me is when people in the fandom tell me I'm too young to be taken seriously. Twilight is a YA novel, and it's not like I go around trolling and flaming.

What do you guys think? Do you care about your fellow twilighters ages?

ughh

New moon event thingy in battersea park tonight and I dont have a ticket.

anyone going?

or fancy joining me in somehow climbing over the park fence to get in

I'm sure before everyone here got into Twilight they were into other things, had different obsessions

plz to be sharing them with me.

my original obsession was and always will be:

What draws you in to start reading a fanfic?  Is it only a recommendation from a trusted source, like this Web site or other readers/writers you like?

How much does the description matter to you?  Does a great banner or artwork really help?  Are you more inclined to read it if it has a lot of reviews?  Or an NC-17 rating? 

I'm curious because I think every writer has to "market" their own story in some way.  In the fanfic world, though, word-of-mouth seems to work best.   If a synopsis has a lot of stupid "will their or won't they" questions, or a ton of typos, I'll mostly likely skip it.  One banner that totally put me off has kept me from reading what's probably a good story.  I don't care so much about the rating.  How about you?

I have heard this guy give several lectures on Twilight and he is fantastic. John Granger started out in the world of Harry Potter but has turned his attention to Twilight. He caters to what he calls "serious readers" and I think many here would enjoy his analysis. He gets into the meaty issues of Twilight and explores the levels of interpretation and symbolism that goes way beyond the standard "forbidden fruit". He is a fan and appreciates SM's work but is honest in his criticism and is open to discussion.

If you're interested, I suggest starting at http://fhsprofessor.com/?p=7 .

! I really like it-much better than the last cover they did for "Twlight"

ROBERT Pattinson has spoken candidly to Ok.co.uk today about his struggle with fame.

We met the Twilight star during his visit to London - and he opened up his heart to us about the difficulty of life in the spotlight.

Heartthrob Rob told us: "I was kind of trapped while filming Eclipse, but there’s always ways and there’s always places where you can disappear to.

“It just involves a bit more thought and you can’t wander around willy-nilly."

The 23-year-old is the hottest actor on the planet right now since making the role of Edward Cullen his own.

But speaking to us today he sensationally threatened to quit acting if he can't learn to deal with the Hollywood lifestyle.

He confessed: "If I’m still stuck in a hotel room in 10 years time and I haven’t figured out another way to deal with it, then I would be annoyed.

"I don’t really think about [fame]. I just want to see what it’s really like in two to three years.”

Twitter made my morning by giving me this...

Jacksper....yummmm

SO, I GUESS, DISCUSS HOW KSTEW IS SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE THIS TIME AROUND. I HAVE TO SAY... I'M PRETTY SURPRISED.

Robert is going to be on French Radio! He's done an interview with Nikos who animates a morning show on the French radio NRJ (which is teen oriented: 14-17). He's really a smart guy but I'm sure his questions will suck just because of the radio he works for... I'll keep you posted when I hear or see anything more interesting! ^^

As you can see, Rob is speaking a little French and it's turning me on big time! =)))

Edit: OH GOD! He's making the French news now... I like Rob but I'm a little bit ashamed for the state of journalism in my country...

The making of:

What I saw on TV last night when we had dinner. I almost choked on my chicken!

Part 1:

Part 2:

Hey Ashley and Kellen, what's with the PDA and giggling and stuff?

I think there must be something going on here!

EVIDENCE:

and

also... AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

i was playing scrabble tonight and got the letters: TWIGASM

i almost DIED, but i refused to tell my significant other what was so freaking funny.

cuz otherwise, i would have to uh, explain in fine detail...what it is we do...late at night...on teh interwebs.  you get the idea.

so when have you wanted to spill but kept yer trap shut?

and because we need at least one twigasm at this campfire...

THIS ONE KILLS ME.

"Tell me what you get out of killing. Or else I won't go willingly with you anymore," I said.

It was an empty threat. I was tied to him, and nothing could sever that. Where ever this led, I would follow him through it.

That didn't mean I didn't need to know.

He watched me coolly.

He knew I was bluffing, but he wouldn't call me on it. "When I shoot someone... it feels like I'm taking the best piss ever. I get a... I get that little shiver, like all the pressure had suddenly flowed out of me, and I can walk easy again."

This fic owns me right now. And as far as I know, it's one of a kind. Rare in FF. Please discuss what you think of it!

Now I can't go to sleep yet!
