VIP Author DefinatelyStaying has posted her story "A Need For Redemption" up at Story telling. It's not your standard J/B fic. But then, nothing that she writes is "standard." It's very powerful with some surprising turn of events. I got very emo at the end-you will see why.

Summary: Jasper decides to stay and watch over Bella after Edward leaves her in the woods. He sees it as his only shot at redemption for his actions – but what if she saves him as completely as he saves her? (JPOV) AU/OOC - BxJ 

ALSO-Chapter 2 of "Community Service" is up.  Oh Edward, what did you do?

Don't forget to review and swing by her cabin!

 The stars attended a New Moon press conference yesterday, and now we have the audio of those interviews.

EDIT: TONS OF HQ PICS HERE

Now, I'm a little bit of a music snob. I'll listen to anything as long as it's good and as long as it's not

A) Screamo

B) Banging shit with no definitive beat

C) Techno

D) Utter shite.

And so whilst I'm just chillin' and procrastinating exam study.. AGAIN, I was hit by a question that's been plaguing me for a while. What's your "Lullaby"

Your theme for Twilight.

Overdone songs?

Music cliches?

Gripes?

This is the post for everything on your inner musicians mind.

I'll start. Because I'm a critical bitch I'mma say that I LOATHE Carter Burwell's shit. Um no no no no Edward is supposed to be a VIRTUOSO. He's no Justin Timberlake. He's like the Liszt of nowadays and that lullaby sounded like it was composed by a primary school teacher. We all know that Alexander Desplat pwns his ass.

And I can't stand it when people try to describe classical music and it's obvious they know nichts HELLO every heard of wiki'ing that shit?

It really annoys me when people write a whole SONG in their fic. Good lord, if I wanted that I would google it moiself. A verse is enough.

This fandom needs more Iron and Wine.

There is a difference between angst and emo and if I ever read about a My Chemical Romance song lyric in ANYTHING. I stop reading.

I adore Music Lessons by Locqua. If you need classical and REAL classics not anything within the last 100 years then that fic is king. And you should check out Betrothed just for some Edward and Rosalie pre-twilight. *dies*

Anyone that can use a song and actually relate it to the fic is genius. americnxidiot, here's looking at you.

*And I will let you all know, I AM listening to Closer by NIN right. this. second.*

Ppps. Jack White is god.

Pppppsss... I'm a little hyper now.

Can we all give a collective 'squee' over the last chapter and epilogue of "Suicide King"?  I know this is being discussed in a lot of places right now, but I want to talk about it here.

So, what did you guys think?  Neat?  Too open-ended for your taste?  Not your bowl of ice cream?  Super, amazing, uber fantastic?!!?!  Let's hear it!

Ok-so the Rangers got together tonight and had a VIP author vote. Not everyone made the cut but FOUR authors did. So without further ado, we are proud to announce the newest ADF VIP authors:

LaViePastiche, author of "Son Of A Preacher Man"

Nightshade/RacketGhost, author of "Gravity" and "Suicide King"

The remaining two authors will be announced tomorrow.

Come and congratulate these incredible authors and welcome them to our Forest!!

 B-Roll Footage released to the press!!! Check out 10 minutes of behind the scenes of New Moon!

Okay Campers, it's time for a serious conversation.  I'm kinda hating DOMward and I'd like to hear what you all think.  Here's the deal:

I'm reading Master of the Universe.  I like it.  I also hate it.   I have serious issues with Domward.  He's a huge asshole.  And not asshole in the sexy-hot-needs-a-good-pussy-whipping kind of way.  I'm talking asshole in the I'm-gonna-beat-your-ass-if-you-lay-a-hand-on-me kind of way.

Now let me clarify that my only foray into the the world of BDSM (other than the weird REAL SEX specials on HBO at 3am) has been fanfic.  And the only sub/dom fics I have read are The Submissive, The Dominant, The Training, and now Master of the Universe.  So I fully understand that my sphere of knowledge is quite limited.  However, there's a common thread here that I find disturbing. 

***SPOILER ALERT*** 

In each of these stories, Edward, the DOM, has had some sort of childhood trauma.  Now I'm only up to chapter 35 in Mof the U, so I don't know what else from his past gets revealed.  But in these stories there's some sort of underlying emotional problem there, making it seem like the BDSM lifestyle is for people with serious intimacy issues who act out in unhealthy sexual ways.  It makes the Dom look like a sexual predator, or deviant. When these writers write these stories, I get the impression they are trying to shed light on to a little known lifestyle....but all they're doing is making the BDSM lifestyle look even more weird than it already is.

Am I the only one bothered by this?  A LOT of you really like these fics.  These stories receive HUGE numbers of reviews and have quite large followings.  But are any of you also disturbed by the use of sexual conquest and dominance as a means of acting out on unresovled intimacy and childhood abuse issues?

In M of the U... Bella clearly states that Edwards past as a Sub for Mrs. Robinson is "abuse".  She doesn't qualify his age (15 when it began) as the reason for it being abuse.  It seems to me she considers it abuse because he was young, naive and easily taken advantage of.  But how is she any different?  She was just as inexperienced!

(And I'm not even going to TOUCH how Edward took her virginity---that's a whole other post!)

And then Bella asks Edward why he enjoys punishing her, causing her pain.  His answer...

"It goes back to being 50 shades of fucked up Isabella. I need to control you. I need you to behave in a certain way…

....A bit, to see if you can take it… but that’s not the whole reason… It’s the fact that you are mine do with as I see fit – ultimate control over someone else."

He's admiting to being fucked up, and that's not the only time he's done so.

I realize that I've likely reached my hard limit.  I also enjoy the fact that I have the term "hard limit" in my vocabulary.  I honestly wonder what so many of you find so attractive in these stories.  Do you have fantasies of being dominated?  Is it just the fact that it's Edward? 

Personally, I could never be a sub.  My own personality is too strong and dominating, and perhaps I have my own issues with intimacy and control.  My husband calls me a control freak all the time.  But does that mean I want to flog him for rolling his eyes at me? 

Only when he complains about my very healthy obsession with a certain sparkly vampire and his uber-hot, human counterpart ;)

share your thoughts...

“I like the story about me being pregnant,” laughed the 23-year-old British heartthrob. “It was in some Australian magazine, on the front page!”

As they’ve filmed “New Moon” and “Eclipse,” Rob and Kristen Stewart have spent the last 12 months going from “the kid in the Harry Potter movies” and “the girl from ‘Panic Room’ ” to the type of people whose every move is meticulously discussed, whether real or not. Luckily, Pattinson has the sort of self-deprecating British wit that allows him to laugh it all off.

“I was like, ‘Wow, that’s just [insane],’ ” he said of the pregnancy rumors. “And it’s not even ironic.

I read fanfiction sometimes. I'm sure you guysers do, too.

And some things squick me out. I'll be sitting there, reading, and then I'll read something that'll make me go ew ewewewwewewewewewewewewewww. Literally.

Like these:

"Her scent permeated the room." NO. Seriously, whenever I see that, I just wanna tell Bella/Alice/whatever "Hey, it's called a shower. Use one." If he can smell your vag from the other side of the room and he's not a vamp, then you need a wash.

Hole. Enough said.

Self-inserting. I find it creepy that you are that obsessed that you would make a character in your own image.

Adding a real person in. I signed up for AU or AH, not RPF.

I have more, I just can't think of them right now. I'll probably remember later.

Oh yeah, say what your things are too.

 MTV has some new interview footage from the set of New Moon, along with some behind the scenes footage from the fight in Volterra! 

I'm used to playing really distinct characters that are so far away from my normal reality,' Stewart says. With the end of principal photography on "Eclipse" in Vancouver late last month, Kristen Stewart completed her third "Twilight" series film as Bella Swan, the high school girl who falls hard for a vampire. Even before starting "Eclipse," though— at the very beginning of "New Moon," in fact, the second film in the franchise — the 19-year-old actress felt so comfortable playing the character that she had a hard time separating herself from Bella.

"I feel very much like I can't really tell a huge difference between myself and Bella anymore, as odd as that sounds," she admitted in an interview released by Summit Entertainment. "I'm used to playing really distinct characters that are so far away from my normal reality and in this case, the only thing that I was really worried about was just making sure it was absolutely honest and open and vulnerable and very present."

Following the 2008 original film — and the worldwide vampire craze that exploded as a result — Stewart had no problem falling back into step with her co-star Robert Pattinson on set. Much like Stewart, Pattinson had gone from a relatively low-key public profile to one of the biggest stars on the planet after his turn as vampire Edward Cullen. But once on set for "New Moon" — which hits theaters on November 20 — they easily found the same rhythm the duo maintained during "Twilight."

"We're both pretty instinctual, impulsive actors," Stewart explained. "We don't really hash things over and over because we both know our characters fairly well. It was easy to step back into the project because it was something we [already] did. Once you play someone — it's a strange thing — you don't forget who they are. And we work together well, so it was easy."

Then Sunday I am headed to New Orleans to see my beloved 7-0 New Orleans Saints whoop up on the Carolina Panthers!  WHO DAT!  

FOOTBALL WEEKEND!!!

TELL US WHAT YOU GOT GOING ON OR TELL US WHATEVER YOU LIKE!

This has been asked a couple of times. Oh well.

What traits make Edward? If you take away the vampire, what's the canon characteristics that must be there in order for you to recognize him?

For me, here's the must haves:

-extremely competent

-dismissive/condescending toward some

-not very sexually experienced before Bella. thus, he can be a little possessive or immature when it comes to love

-old school charm

I have been reading fanfic forever and would love to actually write a few. The Mental Edward contest has inspired me because psych is my specialty. I have a long story in mind but I am not sure what I am supposed to submit. I know its supposed to be a short section but should I start at the beginning, or submit a more interesting event that occurs later. Suggestions???

Robporn that make me feel a little insane...cause it looks like he would sooo fit in my trunk.
