Do characters have to be role models?

Wednesday May 9, 2012 at 10:51 AM

Twilight saga is put down for having lead characters that are bad role models. Bella made the wrong decisions in trusting Edward; Bella being compared to other female characters (who had their own unique situations) to show how weak she was. Like in New Moon, her depression is ridiculed right and left, she is constantly shown in internet memes as being a wimp, needy, clingy character etc, etc. Here's an example-

Did anyone forget that she actually travelled into the figurative lion's den to save Edward's ass?

I have a HUGE favor?!

Tuesday May 8, 2012 at 1:30 PM

My friend and I are having a pic war between Emma Watson and Kristen Stewart. He just sent me the E vs. K emotions chart with the same pic of K and all the emotion pics of E. I know there is a reverse one where K has all the emotions and its the same pic of E, but since Im on my phone I dont have it. I googled and it only pulls up the Emma one. So I was hoping someone could post the other one here and we could turn this into an all around Kristen appreciation post to give me more weapons in my arsenal.                                                                                                                                                                                 Sorry I cant tag from my phone. :(

Why not a pulled fics rec fire?

Tuesday May 8, 2012 at 10:54 AM

I was browsing the GDOCS for pulled twifics the other day, and I realized that I didn't know a thing about most of these fics. I had been gone from the fandom for about a year, so I never got familiar with them (or just suffered from fic ADD).

So, I was thinking, why not make this campfire about reccing your fave pulled fics? I'll share some of mine, and I hope others do the same here.

If possible, please post the download link for your fave fic as well. :)

Here are mine-

Abbracciare Il Cantante by bratty_vamp- What if Edward left Forks after his first encounter with Bella, and he never returned? Fate couldn’t keep these two apart. But meeting at a later time and place might have changed the nature of their relationship. (They meet at college, where Edward tries to form a friendship with Bella, inevitably falling in love with her. There's a cute OC as well, and a rocking Jasper. A very touching story, where Bella actually feels apprehensive of being with Edward after realizing he's not human.)

Died and Gone to Heaven by DUTrustMe- Accidents happen. Sometimes you die and meet God. Sometimes you live and meet SexGod. B&E. AH. AU. (Where Bella loses her memory after an accident and meets Edward, her doctor, who also happens to be her husband. A very light hearted read, almost crackfic-like. I esp love all those nicknames Bella gives Edward.)

The Lost Boys by hwinsey- Three young woman, three young men, a potentially haunted Victorian that’s falling apart around their ears, unrequited love, and an up and coming band. Take all that, shake it up, and set it in romantic San Francisco. (There are ghosts, both good and bad, shared connection with E&B, hot, hot lemons, and just the right amount of angst and cliffhangers.)

Fan Fiction builds real life skilz

Tuesday May 8, 2012 at 9:53 AM

So I just saw someone tweet a link to this article about fan fiction and I found it really interesting, particularly the part about children who create paracosms. Paracosms are fantasy worlds children create in their minds. Apparently research shows that kids who create paracosms are a gazillion times more likely to grow up to be super-geniuses or something (you get the idea).

The article also goes on to say that writing fan fiction, like paracosm-play, builds serious real world problem-solving skills. Attention to detail, world-building, consistency, etc. Huh. Who knew? WRITING FIC MAKES YOU SMARTER!

Anyway, to make it interactive, did any of you build paracosms as a child? My answer inside.

 

p.s. I'm sneaking in this CF at work, so I can't participate much until later.

They don't get her figure

Tuesday May 8, 2012 at 3:03 AM

I'm no judge of fashion (I sit here in a knobbly cardigan and wrinkled cargo trousers) but I am not sure that Balenciaga gets Kristen's figure.  

Fabulous legs, round/triangular butt, small boobs.  Balenciaga, below, hides her legs and doesn't do anything for her boobs or butt.  Those shoes look like ankle socks from a distance and don't elongate her amazing legs at all.  This seems true for both last year's Met Gala and this years.  Isn't that what a custom, off-the-rack design should do?  Flatter the client?  They are missing the point here.

 

Inside are some fashions that I think look good on her.  I don't have a big collection, though.  Which outfits suit her figure, do you think?  Post a pic if you like.

An Italian Winter » by Raum
His rebellion began for a reason; it still holds true and brought him to Italy. His life's been predicated on revenge for decades; forgiveness seems impossible. When Edward meets Bella, only a winter separates him from his last prey & his own destruction.

Edward is bi and ends up falling for Bella

Monday May 7, 2012 at 12:17 PM

I know there are a ton of fics out there where Edward is with Bella or another woman at the beginning of the story and then ends up leaving her for a man.  I'm looking for the opposite storyline.  Edward identifies himself as either gay or bi at the beginning of the story and falls in love with Bella.  My preference would be for AH angsty believable stories.

The only story with this premise that i know of is:

Soulmates Feeling Belonging » by CaraNo
Edward and Jasper returns to Jasper's hometown when Edward lands the position of Forks Hospital's newest therapist. Bella's in need of a therapist to get out of her dead marriage. You can't help who you fall for. ExJ ExBxJ ExB JxA. No angst. EPOV and BPOV

Like everything CaraNo writes, it's fabulous!!

 

Thanks!!

any other fics like MAD??

Monday May 7, 2012 at 11:22 AM

Are there any other AH fics out there similar to Mutually Assured Destruction?  In other words Bella and Edward are completely obsessed and consumed with each other.  

Of course I'm recommendeing Mutually Assured Destruction by Jandco; it is seriously one of the best fics I've ever read!!

Off the record

Monday May 7, 2012 at 6:34 AM

Damenellie recommended this and I gave it a try because I miss Palo Alto even more than pecan pie sfm. It turns out that it's set in the future and has nothing really to do with Palo Alto, but I still found it interesting.  Summary:

 "Friday, November fifteenth, 2024. Palo Alto, California. Interview with Edward Cullen, brother of missing New York Times journalist Emmett Cullen." When reporter Bella goes on assignment, what complications will arise? ExB, AH/AU.
Twilight - Rated: M - English - Drama/Romance - Chapters: 12 - Words: 61,579 - Reviews: 936 - Updated: 4-25-12 - Published: 1-2-12 - Bella & Edward

Liking the E/B dynamic. At first I was a bit surprised by Bella's behavior, but then I realized that's probably how I'd react too in the presence of, yk, Edward Cullen. Not sure if I'm getting his way of thinking and reacting though. Link HERE

what happened to Twibrary??

Monday May 7, 2012 at 1:03 AM

I love the Master Fic List here, but I've also enjoyed the efficient tabulated layout of Twibrary.blogspot.com

i swear i still had it as an open tab yesterday, then just now - POOF, it's been "removed"!?!?!   why why why???  It's a list of story name, author, official summary, pairing etc, all categorized.  Not a forum / opinion place where people who flame each other can upset any higher power.  Perplexed ... :-X

 

would i still have to give a rec?

My latest link from the Twibrary was The Art Teacher by spanglemaker9.  I was looking for a TeacherWard / Student-ella fic, but most of what's rec'd on the ADF Master Fic List were either pulled or never completed, or self-pimps.  Twibrary to the rescue (although there's not subjective evaluation of the fics there... it's at least an efficient list.)

 

The Art Teacher
He gave me art and words and passion and life, but all I wanted was him.
