While excitement brews over Rob's choice of automobile today (see The Daily Chew, below), a really good interview with Patricia McKenzie was conducted by the resourceful ladies here.

Sampler:  

How many takes did you have to do because the shot is fairly long and uninterrupted. Was it difficult to be so wordy with such a physical scene?

McKenzie: It was a long, sweaty day, but I like being physical, and I like the heightened awareness everyone has on set during a love scene. Those days have a very different energy from the other days. Yeah, it was lots of fun and a delightful challenge to deal with unconventional dialogue in the heat of passion. I have played various lesbians on Canadian shows for years, so it was a nice change to be partnered with Rob.

She speaks of his athletic sock and masking tape (goodness me) and how she prepared physically and mentally , but she is also an articulate gal with a great attitude, so the whole interview is worth a read, part one here and part two here at Robsessed.  

ETA:  I should make this interactive:

Do you prefer being on top or bottom?  LOL.  

If it's Rob, does that change your position?

Its time to dicuss

Sorry this is late, I had two people I care about  suddenly die on me this week. You should probably steer clear of me or you could be next. Bad joke....anyhow, I am sure you have questions! GO FOR IT!

If you have amnesia about a fic, this is the place to ask about it!

WELCOME TO HELP DESK WEDNESDAY!

Okay, I'm sure some (if not most) of us could use a little break from the "serious business" that is Rob and Kristen's oh so dramatic relationship.

Here's what I'm thinking: What was Rob listening to in the pickup truck as he drove away from the doom and gloom?

My guess? Jesus take the wheel. Heheheh

But I could be wrong. You tell me - what is Rob listening to as that truck slowly drives off into the sunset?

Hello campers I'm looking for a fanfic and it's been drive me crazy , here is the plot ( or at list what I can remenber)

James and Victoria kidnapped Bella and they changed her, She doens't remember who she is

Victoria don't like Bella and think James is only using her as a pet

Edward follow them for months alone until he can find them and try to rescue Bella

Bella and James have sex , and victoria starts a fight

Bella runs away when Edward kills James, but he mentions the meadow and convince her to listen him about the thruth

There is a lot more to the story but I can't remember,any help would be wonderful

My indication is :http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8609638/1/Tequila-Sunrise

It started with a Tequila Sunrise and a drunken text to her ex, Jacob. Then came two pink lines on a plastic stick. Now, she's trapped with her stuck up boss in an elevator. He has an outrageous proposal that will solve her need for cash and his need for human contact. She may need a shot to decide. Canon couples eventually

It has a little bit of B/J but Edward make up for it ,it's a WIP if you guys want to know,but she uptades regulary.

Here's Lainey's piece on the Robsten break up. . .

But that's not I want to talk about. I was loitering on ONTD (because whatever, they can be hilarious) and reading some ONTDer's comment, including our very own WriteOnTime, I realize that maybe our sweet Rob is not that much of a saint, and has been played the PR game as much as Kristen (and the rest of Hollywood for that matter)?

More thoughts on the matter inside. Could you join me on the discussion?

My rec: In the Debris by BelieveItOrNot
A story of unlikely friends, a story of family, a search for truth and a search of self. "She's everyone else's Isabella, but she's only my Bella." "I write a poem about a boy and girl who fall in love in the eye of a tornado." AH E/B V/J

And people, let's try and be nice in the discussion. Let's try and be as objective as we can, and also let's agree to disagree. No need to make a fuss about two celebrities we don't know.

ETA: I think maybe people didn't get what I was trying to say so disclaimer: I just want to state that I'm not saying here that Rob is a manupulative bastard, and his all PR constructed. I don't even think doing some PR is bad - hell, especially nowadays, PR is important to have a good career in Hollywood. What I'm just wondering if he's playing the Hollywood game that I (for one) didn't think he was playing.

From Calleycat, on Mediabistro:

Warner Bros. Television Group’s Alloy Entertainment division will work with Amazon on the program, letting fans write about Cecily von Ziegesar‘s Gossip Girl, Sara Shepard‘s Pretty Little Liars and L.J. Smith‘s Vampire Diaries. Fan fiction writers can publish their own work about these stories in the Kindle Store. The program launches in June. Here’ more about the payment structure:

"Amazon Publishing will pay royalties to both the rights holders of the Worlds and the author. The standard author’s royalty rate (for works of at least 10,000 words) will be 35% of net revenue. As with all titles from Amazon Publishing, Kindle Worlds will base net revenue off of sales price—rather than the lower, industry standard of wholesale price—and royalties will be paid monthly."

Amazon “plans to announce more licenses soon” to expand the Kindle Worlds program. Over at FanFiction.net, you can read more than 500 stories about Gossip Girls, nearly 300 stories about Pretty Little Liars (both books and TV show) and more than 800 Vampire Diaries stories.

Amazon also revealed a new program for publishing short stories in the Kindle Store.

Any thoughts on this? Would you pay to read fanfiction? Would you sell your fanfiction? Is this a viable or socially acceptable alternative to P2P?

HeyRob edit: I'd love to take this down, but apparently that is not in my power. 

purple ranger edit:

i would have approved this if you'd bothered to ask. don't do that again, please. i'm leaving this post up because it suits me to do so.

(Some of y'all might be too young to get that CF title)

Tell us what you are reading RIGHT NOW!

Books and Fanfiction alike!

Please link if you are reading fanfiction or give us a nice summary if you are reading a book. We also LOVE reviews and discussing stories, so tell us what you think of what you are reading!

Special Assignment:

What fic would you beg, plead, or bribe the author for a future-take of? What completed fic would you love to peep in on and see how the characters are making out? Personally, I'd love to know whatever became of Edward in Masen Days!

BUT, AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT AND REC ANYTHING!

As always, read, review, and let 'em know you saw their fic rec'd on ADF. 

Some of you may remember that Jonathan Rhys Meyers, famous for playing Henry VIII in The Tudors is set to play Dracula this fall on NBC.

The plot for the show is here

Series introduces Dracula as he arrives in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who maintains that he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality, he hopes to wreak revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier. There's only one circumstance that can potentially thwart his plan: Dracula falls hopelessly in love with a woman who seems to be a reincarnation of his dead wife. Written by NBC

Regardless of the changes from the original story it looks crazy good. Link

Hi everyone! 

I'm looking for twilight recs where Edward seems to dislike/distrust Bella upon their first meeting for no apparent reason. Usually it has to do with a misunderstanding or something about Edward's past. I prefer a slow burn, where the misunderstand isn't so easily/quickly cleared between the two, and it takes time for the two to get closer and for Edward to come clean about what his inital problem. Plus it's fun to watch Edward struggle between his growing attraction for Bella and his desire to hold his initial suspicions against her ;) I just finished "Elemental" and "Empires of the Minds", and I love both of them so much so I'm looking for something similar to that in terms of how Edward acted. It doesn't matter if it's AH or AU/Supernatural (although I do prefer AU Supernatural more).

Also, if you know any good AU Supernatural fic where they aren't vampires (ghosts, witches, Gods, superheroes, etc.), that would be swell (: I've already read most of the fics in the master rec, so I'm looking for fics that not a lot of people know but are stilt really good. Anyway, you guys should check those two recs out, and here are a couple more for your time!

A Chance Encounter

His agony defines him. His memories destroy him. Offered the chance to leave the misery behind, Ed knew it was better to suffer than to forget-the ultimate betrayal, abandoning Bella.He already did that once. He'll find her again.

Seducing Ms Swan
Author: DQRC PM
AU Post-NM. Teacher!Bella, Student!Edward; a struggle of wills, an attempt at seduction, a dark secret, a dash of UST, a gallon of attitude, antagonistic motorcycling, a hell of a lot of angst and one unforgettable scene in a snow storm.

I'm a born and raised Okie and I live two miles south of the path that the EF5 tornado took today through Moore, Oklahoma. I've never felt especially belonging in my home state but today I proved myself wrong. Maybe I'm getting old and sentimental but today I believe Oklahomans are special. At least 51 people are estimated dead, with another estimated 40 children missing in the rubble at Plaza Towers Elementary. As that school was being hit I was picking up my niece early from school. 

This hurts.

I know ADF is especially wonderful to those in times of need. I ask that you consider donating to the Red Cross of Oklahoma City to help displaced homeowners with food, shelter and medical care. 

http://www.redcross.org/templates/render/renderCanonical.jsp?pageCan=/ok/oklahoma-city

Here's a FB link to donate to the Salvation Army, Red Cross and/or Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma:

https://www.facebook.com/OklahomaFans/posts/10151576413364191

Tomorrow I'll donate what I can - animal care and veterinary services. There were countless animals, including many horses, who were killed and injured. Central Oklahoma Humane Society, an organization near and dear to my heart, will be helping out greatly. Please consider donating or helping out in any way that you can.

http://www.okhumane.org/

Thank you so much! I'm not very vocal here but I appreciate that in a desperate time you are pretty wonderful people I can request support and aid from.

I haven't heard back from any rangers but I think if I rec a fic I can post this. I don't know of any natural disaster fics but in the interst of promoting good fic with a theme of healing.

High Fidelity

Damaged Edward, damaged Bella. Two sides of the same scarred coin. When one side is up, the other is down. Language and lots of it. Lemons eventually. It's a slow burn, slow and painful. Mature. Lots of random pop culture references. AH, AU, ExB.

I just wanted to share that the VoiceDream app is ½ off for a limited time in the itunes store… If you’re as addicted to FF as I am, this is your ticket to listening to fics while driving, instead of doing this...
