Vive la Video!!!

Yeah, it has been awhile since I updated, and I didn't want it to be any longer. I didn't want you to think I was still wallowing in ...whatever it was I was wallowing in.

Where is my mind now? I am not in mourning for sure any more. I miss having a friend, but I question the whole relationship now. I wrote up a whole bunch of bullshit on the 12 stages of grief or something, but you don't want to read that. It was therapeutic for me and it's over. So...moving on.

Here is a video for you. I think it is pretty fucking funny:


That is all for today :)

I miss redvelvetheaven .

Loyalty is something that I have found to be fleeting in the fandom. 



Maybe you find a fledgling fic that you are like its only reader, besides the beta and the authors' mother.  For chapters and chapters you beg all of your friends to read it and wear nothing but a big cardboard sign, saying "the end is near...read this for salvation."  And then suddenly, your dreams come true, and it explodes into popularity.  The fic you've been pimping like its your job gets noticed by important people and you feel left behind.

Maybe people hate the author of a fic that you love but you stand by him or her.  Finally, when it all blows over (because trust, it will), she gets noticed by the important people and you feel left behind.

Maybe you are friends with people, chatting with them and chillin' and you make them feel like they matter so much to you.  Then you get noticed by important people and you leave someone behind.

Some examples?  Sure.

For this, I will deviate from my tried and true example...and will use a different story.  Love Net by Lalina (lalinacullen ).  This is a story written by a wonderful girl and it really is behind me becoming as active as I did on the t'd threads.  I begged that girl to make him go to Starbucks and send an email.  If you've read the story, you know what I am talking about.  Trust me, you want to read this story.  I was so bummed when it was ending, especially since I met so many great ladies on the thread.  But her new story, The Sacrificial Lamb came out.  And I read it...at the beginning.  Before I got busy.  And I will go back and read it, because I know that it is fuckawesome.  But you know what, even though Lalina is popular and had a million other things to do, she remembers me and how ardently I supported LN and still loves me.  That's loyalty.  To her readers.

There is a girl that I love so much.  She writes some of my very favorite stories.  She makes me want to get dirty with boys with exotic piercings.  And she writes a Rosalie and Edward story.  UGH can you imagine?  But I love her and she is a fucking amazing writer. (Yes I am talking about ooohlalaaah ) And even though it kills me because...just no, I read it.  Because I am loyal.  To an author.

My last example...there are several girls who I discuss fic recs with.  With one in particular, secamimom , I find myself trusting her recs without question.  I read something when she tells me to read it.  She says the same thing to me.  We trust each other's judgement, and I would cut the bitch that is mean to her.  If she told me to read a story that I didn't like, would I stop talking to her?  fuck no.  She's my friend.  And I am loyal.  To a person.

So apparently I have a thing for Orange Juice.  Well, not really.  I mean, yes, I sort of do.  But I have a thing for EDWARD drinking OJ.  That is my thing.  So lovely touchstonesart  made this for me:


Like in Son of a Preacher Man, lemme just provide you with a little snippet of OJ-wonder:

Edward walked into the room with a carton of orange juice....

“No, I was merely trying to save you from getting into shit with Daddy,” [Rosalie] said, before turning to Edward. “You are NOT drinking that from the carton.”

Edward smirked and winked at us and then put the carton to his lips. Rose’s mouth gaped open and with the carton still against his lips he said, “Relax, there’s only a bit left. I’m gonna finish it.”

Duuuuudde.  I mean.  Just, gah.

So imagine my surprise when I read the Bloodline update today.  Looky what I found:

Edward brought me into the kitchen and placed me on the counter, and within a second, he was holding a glass of orange juice up to my lips, tilting it into my mouth.

I mean, are

ooohlalaaah  and madicake  trying to kill me with this?  Well if they are, that is aok with me.  I fucking love it!

So if you have a pic of rob with OJ, send it to me.  Because I really, really, really want it.  I mean really, admit it, doesn't this turn you on?
 

 

Today I want to talk about plagiarism. This might seem silly considering that I am talking about this subject in reference to fanfiction, which at its heart is actually plagiarism. But I will explain my motivations in just a moment. First, here is the definition of plagiarism, copied lovingly from dictionary.com:


Okay now that you know what it is, I am going to tell you what I think it means. First of all, tby789 my very dear friend and future MIL of my son had someone who outright copied her story word for word and submitted it as her own. I think that she may have even left the name and everything.   Obviously, this person who did that was stupid and committed plagiary, outright. 



But there are other forms of plagiarism. And what I am going to focus on today is the close imitation of language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work. Now to me, this is all sort of a moot point. Fanfiction, just by its very essence, is basically plagiarism.

I am going to only limit myself to Twilight fanfiction here because I don't have experience with any other kind. Stephenie Meyer wrote a series of books. And then other people, what I mean is someone other than her, took her stories and added to them. Or changed them. Or replaced them. And submitted to some fanfiction site as their own work. Now almost every fanfiction story that I have come across has a disclaimer at the top, saying something along the lines of "I don't own these characters. I just play in their world." Some of them, like antiaol2 , have incredibly witty disclaimers like:

Things I own: 43 bras, a tic tac bottle with 3 orange tic tacs left, and a whip.

Things I don’t: Twilight or Edward, sadly.

So I think the legal issue with plagiarism is somewhat solved with a disclaimer as well as the fact that the writers of fanfiction do not benefit monetarily from writing. Stephenie Meyer gets paid everytime someone buys her book, assumedly. Fanfic writers post their stories for free.

Okay now we get to what I really want to talk about. People who read someone else's fanfiction story and emulate the style or characters and repost them as their own. I am not going to lie, I think that having an issue with this, in my humble and fucked up opinion, is stupid. Why? Well, first, fanfiction at its heart is copying. Fuck you if you say it isn't. You didn't come up with Edward, Bella, *gag* Jacob *cough*, Forks, or Chief Charlie. SO using the names...the bronze hair and piercing green eyes...the flaming bitchiness of Rosalie...the clumsiness of Bella...all of that is copying. So if you write a story and someone chooses to copy that style into another fanfic, shouldn't that flatter you?

I am going to use my standby and all-time favorite fanfiction, Scotch, Gin, & the New Girl. Now...I know you are not surprised by this since I live and breathe this story, and read at least two paragraphs of it daily, and I beg people to read it, still (unless you are Caitlin). I know this story inside and out. And I can give more examples from this than any other. And it's my LJ so I can use whatever the fuck examples I want. So here we go.

When I read the summary for Scotch, I didn't want to read it. Because I was new and didn't know anything and I thought that it was just a remake of Cruel Intentions. So...let's get this straight. A story with the characters of the book Twilight put into the setting of the movie Cruel Intentions. hmmmm. And yet, it is my favorite fanfiction of all time. Why? Because my idol wtvoc and her collaborative author jandco are fuckawesome and total genius. And put their own spin on things. Oh how different and more productive my life would be if I hadn't found Scotch. But certainly less fulfilled. I digress.

So to set you up if you are not familiar with the love that is Scotch, it is a story that is set in Forks, WA where Bella is the new girl at a high school. The same characters are in Scotch as in Twilight but they are all OOC (out of character). There is sex in Scotch. And people drink and play poker and a few of them even shop at a record store. Jasper is a smooth motherfucker. And Rosalie is an evil bitch. Edward is fuckhot, the hottest guy in the school (of course). Bella wants to be with him. Charlie is the chief fo police. Bella climbs into Edward's window. There is a bet...that deals with sex. Now WAIT. if you are reading this as a review of everything that is complete and utter win in Scotch, that is NOT my intention. Gchat me, I can go on and on and on for hours about how fucking fabulous this is and talk to you until you either want to die or kill me about the plot points and shit. Okay, just wanted to be sure I was giving Scotch the proper love.

Does this mean that everytime someone posts a story set in high school, or with Bella as a new girl, or with a Jasper that moves to his own beat, or even with an Alice that likes to throw parties, that the authors of Scotch are going to be flaming cunts sending people ugly notes and accuse them of stealing? No. There are over 90K Twilight fanfics on ffn alone, some will have some similarities.

Since reading Scotch, I have come across several other stories that are similar. If you know me at all, you know I love reading high school fics. I find them all the time with similarities to Scotch. There are a few where someone climbs in someone else's window. There are a few where music binds them together. There are a few where Carlisle is a total ass. There is at least one in which there is a bet. I can think of a couple in which they attend private school and have to wear a uniform. Do I consider this to be stealing? Le sigh. I consider this to be emulating the style that I love with the characters that I love.

I am going to throw another similarity, or another thing that happens out there. In Scotch, there is a morning that Edward, Bella, and Jasper eat pancakes together. For breakfast. In another story that I read, The Arrangement, Edward, Bella, and Jasper have pancakes and end up having a threesome. Would the authors of Scotch accuse the author of TA of plagiarism or the other way around? I think not. Similar situations played out into completely different scenes.

Now here is where I get to my point...and maybe I am being a bitch about it.

PS I just want to be clear here.  Wtvoc doesn't even read this LJ page.  But if she did or didn't, I have sent her enough stalker mail for her to know i worship her.  This post in no way whatsoever claims to know how she feels about people copying her style or elements of her story.  But since she is full of win, I don't see her being anything but flattered.  I just use Scotch as my example bc I love it, clearly.

Today is my big 5-month anniversary of my love affair with fanfic, and boy have I come a long way.  I have gone from being too shy to talk on the forums to getting into bar-room brawls on certain threads.  I went from thinking that Dom in the Dominant meant a mob boss to wanting someone (preferably Lola) to spank me.  I have gone from being too tongue-twisted about telling people what fics I read to rec'ing them myself.  Le sigh.  I can't wait to see what happens to me in the next month.  Maybe I will read slash.  Nah, better save that for my 6-month anniversary!

So, in my ongoing effort to make this world a better place, I want to talk to you about reading.  The thing that started it all for me.  And what we are supposed to be here to do.  Read. and enjoy good fanfiction.  I love talking to my friends on twatter and chatting on gchat and looking at everyone's beautiful siggys on the threads.  And I find that lately, I just don't read as much as I used to.  But the thing that united all of us here in the fandom is the fact that we get to read. for free.  Not to bash people or be condescending and rude to others.  But to read.  And be joined by the love that is Twilight Fanfic.


I have said before, if you don't like something, stop reading it.  But my advice to you today is simple:  read.  Read.  READ.

How do you find stories that appeal to you.  The number one way that you can find stories that you want to read is to look in the favorites of the authors that you love or the people that you talk to about the stories that you love.  Five months ago, when I started reading fanfic, I didn't even know what fanfic was.  I didn't know that there are just certain kinds of stories that I don't like.  I know it now, but that is because I have read a shitload of stuff.

The second best way to find stories to read is through awards.  Some of them.  That is really the way that I got involved.  The Eddies & the Bellies were up and I thought the only way to vote was to be democratic about it and read all of the stories.  So I did.  And I found some of my very favorite stories, authors, and genres that way.  Now the Bellies are happening again.  Check them out...read the entries.  The Indies are up.  Read the entries. Then Vote.   

Now, please, do not let it be a popularity contest.  READ them.  Then vote on what YOU think is the best story.  Not on who you think will win because they are so and so's friend.  

So in conclusion, read.  That is all.

Don't Say Anything At All.

Did my mother actually say that? Yes.  Yes, she did.  And i find that I am not always nice.  So, yeah, don't tell my mom.

What I always try to do, and I am not fucking kidding with this shit, is try to respect other people's opinions.  Okay that is assuming that it is an opinion and not direct contradiction to fact.  So, allow me to provide you with an example.  Instead of using the example story that I usually use, I will use Seducing Edward, a lovely little fic written by the only girl that I have ever wanted to make out with, like with tongue and everything.  I digress.

So a fact in Seducing Edward would be that Edward was gone for six months.

And an opinion would be that Edward liked it when he stuck his tongue in Skanktoria's mouth.

A fact would be that Bella lives in an apartment with Alice.

And an opinion would be that Skanktoria was a flaming cunt that should have received a proper BBD for her antics in the hallway.

Do you see the difference?  A fact is something that is based on truth. Indisputable truth.  An opinion is what you think about something. 

Why am I explaining the difference to you?  Well sometimes people argue over stupid shit that either:You might say that Edward belongs with Skanktoria in SE.  And that would be your opinion.  I might think that it is fate for Bella and Edward to be together, and more importantly, that they love each other and won't ever love anyone as much as they love each other.  That is, begrudgingly an opinion.  Will it do us any good to argue about it?  No.  Would it do any good for you to pm the author, begging her to change her story so that Edward would choose Skanktoria?  No.  It just makes you sound like a whiney bitch who needs to write her own story where Edward and who-ever-the-fuck-you-want rides off into the sunset together.  I will respect your opinion.

So in the off chance that we do argue about it, I am going to try to respect that you are entitled to having an opinion and I am going to try not to say anything, if I can't find anything nice to say to you.  That is all.

So as I approach my five month anniversary, I realize that I have read literally hundreds of fics. And thousands of chapters. Seriously, practically all I have done since February 8th is read. And talk to everyone about what I have read. And complained about not having updates. And speculated about what is going to happen.

I am different now than I was five months ago. But some things are clearly the same. I fangirl all over the place when one of my favorite authors talks to me. I swear to rob anytime WtVoC sends me a tweet, I like squee all over myself. My 13 yo even knows by the pitch of my squeal and the height to which I jump what just occurred. Anyway, I love twitter. And getting review replies and all that.
I remember when I was just happy that any one, on any thread acknowledged me in some way. I don't have many friends in real life, and really none that share my interests. So finding people on the threads that liked all the same stories as me...and liked me? Well that was like euphoric bliss. Cue BFF and Soulmate redvelvetheaven . If my husband put a block on my internetz or if ffic was shut down completely or if God struck me with a wave of nausea every time i read that made me for some unspeakable reason give up ffic, I truly believe that I found it so I could find her. Really.
And I have others, people who really are my friends, even though I've never met them. I love ooohlalaaah in an obscene kind of way. Like seriously. And of course there is caren who was like my first fanfic friend and is my fellow fictionator. And sweet adychou , who made me want to go to France to drink champagne and get a tattoo. And I never wanted to have sex in a trailer so much until I met madicake who brings a level of happiness to my life that I cannot describe. I love her. That is all. ::grin::

Trust, I am working up to something here.

I used to be kinda shy. On the threads. And then I realized that it is like a high school clique. And that people are just inherently mean. Like they say shit to get people riled up. Or to be argumentative. When I first started reading fanfic, I went through the list of favorites of my favorite authors. Oddly, some of them really love the same kind of stories that I loved. I discovered my penchant for fics set in hs, cocky Edward with fuckhot everything, including hands. I discovered hand porn. I didn't even know there was such a thing. Anyway, then I realized there are things that I don't like. I don't want Edward to stick his tongue (or his weiner, caren) anywhere near anyone but Bella (or me). If a writer is going in a direction with the story that I hate, like Edward beats Bella or Bella cheats on Edward or something like that, I finally am able to say, you know what? I don't like this story anymore. And I stop reading it.

I thank the writer for writing. For a couple of reasons. One, WtVoC said to do it in her Review Etiquette articles. Two, it takes all kinds of fanfic to make the world go round. For as much as I DON'T want to see Edward with someone else, there are all kinds of factions that want to see him, say with Rosalie. I respect them. and Three, who the fuck am I to say that their story is wrong? There is no wrong and right here. Except in the case of like you know, child molestation. That is wrong. But you know what I mean. So now, I finally get to my point.

While I used to be shy on the threads and really only talked to my friends, like Dazzlemebetch (where the fuck is she btw?) and Red and Caren and Cheddah, I realized that whenever someone would take a mean shot at one of my favorite authors, I would say something back. And now people think I am a bitch. Well...whatever. Sure I am. Same thing with reviews. If you want to review and say "I hate this because your story is grammatically incorrect and lacks a plot," that's fine. If you want to say something like, "at the beginning of the story Bella was all about not being able to live without Edward and then, moments after she agreed to marry him, she kissed Jacob when Edward was 20 feet away in the woods, and I feel that was out of character and causes your story to lack integrity," that's fine too. But when you say, "you are stupid and suck because you won't take the story in the direction that I think it should go in," that is stupid. And mean. And undermines the integrity of fanfic. So I am going to say something about it.
Now just in case people are reading this and want to say I am cross pollinating LJ with t'd, I don't mean to. I am just ranting. On my LJ. I just want people to know where I am coming from. There is a difference in criticizing someone's writing ability and criticizing their story. I am going to use my favorite story of all time here, Scotch, Gin, & the New Girl. Now, I read this when I was a wee youngling. I didn't know WtVoC or JandCo. I didn't know about the hea. And I was beside myself worrying about what would happen. Would Edward want her? Would he jump in the lake? Would she pick Ginsper? Dude...I was a nervous wreck. And if there had been a poll, asking who we wanted Bella to end up with, I would have said Edward, no question. Does that mean that I hate all of the people who would vote for Jasper? NO. How about the people who wanted her with Mike? NO. How about the people who wanted her with Rosalie? Well that might have been an issue since she is an evil slore, but I would still respect their opinions. And I would not have sent the authors death threats or offers to help them come up with alternative storylines. Because it's their fucking story.

And that's the point. It's their story. If you don't like it, don't read it. But don't be a flaming cunt about it. That is all.

Yeah this is how I feel...indecisive. And I want some candy. Or something.

Okay so my house is like 2200 square feet.  Something like that.  And that is not counting all of the fucking surface area that the damn cat has with the counters and the chairs and the closet shelves and shit.  I sit on a loveseat everyday.  And the cat always wants to sit on the back of the loveseat and groom herself.  It is disgusting.  Yes, I push her off and screech at her and threaten her and stuff, but she doesn't care.  I hate the sound.  It is unsettling.  And when I tell her to get away, she closes her eyes, as if to ignore me.  Ugh!


This is her picture that I posted on the Harry Potter threads, before DH came out, warning about spoilers.  She looks evil, does she not?

Yes her name is Arabella.  Arabella Doreen Figgy Faul.  Wonder where that name came from.

Don't get me wrong.  I am not a catlady, trying to force my cat upon people who hate them.  I hate them too.  We just have one, fuck if I know why.

In a word...nothing.  I sit on the couch all day.  And since algonquinrt pointed out that people in white coats could come and get me at any minute, I thought I'd take a moment and say just what I did today, on a Saturday. 

First, I didn't wake up until about 10:30.  Why? I don't know.  Could be because I stayed up until 3am, reading The Lost Boys?  MiniBB didn't wake me up, and I was glad for that.

The first thing I do every day is brush my teeth.  Then I...well you don't need to hear all about my morning routine, which usually takes about ten minutes.  But the first thing I do that counts is turn on my computer and start up good ole twhirl.  So I can post the Word of the Day.

Then, well I don't know what I did, besides eat a yummy tomato sandwich. 


Sometime over the course of the day, I made a twitter account for the Fictionators, I added some affiliate links to the WotD blog.  I updated my ffic profile.


I also validated some stories for the Indies because yay me, I'm a judge :)

I read the Art After 5 Update.

I talked to my BFF redvelvetheaven  on gchat and twatter.

I chatted with Erica about her new story that is going to be fucking win.


I worked on my super secret project.


I talked to everyone on twatter about the mindfuckery of Love You Like an Arsonist.  Seriously, if you read this story, find me.  I want to talk about it.

I bitched and whined about how no one loves me.

Then I ate another tomato sandwich, for dinner.

I talked to my grandma on the phone.


I squeed with my sister's best friend, who I have roped into sharing my passion for Scotch, Gin, & the New Girl.  *Squee*

So I just went to take a bath and now I am going to read the A Life Extraordinary Update from two days ago.  And I am going to either read Dead Confederates or The Coven.  Thank rob I already got hubs a present for tomorrow.

Oh and the highlight of the week has been moonwitche  accepting me as her friend on LJ. 

All in all, I didn't get a whole lot of shit accomplished today.  BUT you, if you are reading this and looking for a fic to read, have been rec'd several of them.  And seriously, if you haven't read Scotch, I am actually surprised that I even talk to you.  js.

ETA: What I meant was, I am surprised that I talk to you if you haven't read Scotch UNLESS you are Caitlin.  There.

Today marks four months.  Four months of reading fanfic.  I don't think anyone reads this page, but I feel like I should share the path that led me to ffic.  But before I do that, I also have to back up a little bit to share how I found Twilight.

Long ago, in a land far away...just kidding.  I am a Harry Potter fanatic.  Like I love it.  so, so much.  And my sister, Kaylee, used to read it with me.  Then I would discuss and go to the forums and speculate and wait and wait and wait for the new whatever to come out.  Then my sister stopped reading.  After book 5.  So I didn't have a real person to talk to about it.  I needed her.  But she moved on, eventually, to Twilight.  I am going to be honest.  I did not want to read the Twilight saga.  I was too emotionally invested in HP.  But my sister begged and said that then, we would have something that we could talk about again.  So after Breaking Dawn was released and she promised me that there would be no more and I wouldn't need anymore from it, I bought Twilight.  And I put it on a shelf...waiting for Christmas break.

So I picked up Twilight at the beginning of Christmas break and I read it.  Devoured it.  Reread it and dogeared the pages of my favorite parts.  Of course, I was in love.  with Edward.  and I needed the rest.  So I ran to Target and bought the rest of the saga.  I think it took me three days total to read all four books.  I barely slept.  I didn't even wrap presents.  I remember calling my sister when I read NM and screaming at her for making me read this.  And when I got to BD...I was...I don't know the word.  If you are reading this, you found me in fanficdom so you know what I am trying to say.  I needed something else.  This could not be what happened.  But whatever.  I complained to my sister, and as it turns out, we disagree on basically every aspect of Twilight, so we don't talk about it anyway.  Girlfriend is opinionated.

Anyway, I read everything extra I could find on SMeyer's website, including the outtakes.  One of those was originally intended to be a contest entry for a fanfiction site.  I had never heard of fanfiction, so I called my sister.  What is fanfiction?  She told me and I proceeded to tell her how stupid I thought the idea was.  That isn't the real story.  How can people do that?  Who wants to read that?  So, on February 8th, she sent me a link to Isle Esme, which was on Vixen1836's blog then.  I called my sister right after I read it.  OMG, I think this might actually be SMeyer.  She really gets Edward!  So my sister explained to me that Vixen was not actually Stephenie and that there are lots of stories about Twilight.  I was intrigued.  So I looked on Vixen's recommended list and bam! I was reading Midnight Desire.  It was funny as hell, and I had never read anything like that (ie smut).  Then I found Wide Awake.  Why did I read that?  Because Vixen said that it had the word "fuck" in it a lot.  Sounded good to me.  I called in sick to work the next day because I couldn't stop reading WA.  Somehow I came across the Eddies & Bellies awards.  And I wanted to vote.  But I thought it would only be fair (I believe in the democratic process after all) for me to read everything before I voted.  So I did my damndest to read everything that was nominated for everything.  I made a schedule so I could get it done in time.  Shortly thereafter, I found Scotch and life would never be the same for me.  That story is deep in my soul and just moves me.

I used to be a mom.  I used to cook dinner and do my family's laundry.  I used to interact with people in the flesh.  Now all of my friends are "virtual" and on the internet.  Now I eat on the couch, when I have time, because I have to read.  Now I contribute recommendations to a blog and provide all of my twatter friends with the Word of the Day.  Now I feel like I am finding my place where I am more than just a mom and run a laundry and taxi and maid service.  And I don't even write yet :)  So thanks fanfiction for giving me a niche to fit into.  Thanks SMeyer for writing a fade-to-black and uterus-eating scenes that left me needing something more.  And thanks to all of my friends, virtual and otherwise.  It is a great day to celebrate!

62 lines about 24 BATGirls

Tricia wrote a wicked E
With a weakness for good smut
Heather was the biggest sap
Who wanted to get you lathered up

Together they sucked everyone in
With poptarts, coffee and the blue box
They created a world and man
Who could definitely rock your sock.

Lucy was the very first BATgirl
She’s the one that started it all
Legna came along soon after
With her love of a southern drawl

JA crashed the party quietly
But she didn’t stay that way
JB came in just recently
But she always has her say

LTR is the resident expert
On lawn mowers and Des Moines
LMC got our outtake present
That fade everyone love sweet ‘Caroline’

Daisy is a big trash talker
With her beloved TLB
WK makes sure we are all our laughing
And has a love for Demetri

Jennde is crackfic inspiration
Her posts are what sparked the notion
BTS said ‘say no to crack’
But it kept her on this side of the ocean

Jamie showed up late to the party
And made us laugh with her shotgun fun
Eve came crashing in right behind her
Cracking jokes like no one

Kassiah liked to drool over BATward
For him she’d happily roll in snow
Caren said she wrestle Kas for him
We’ll sell tickets for that one, you know.

WWP came along with Jennde
She swore that Rose was the leak
Katy is our missing BATgirl
Whose Avi made you want to peak

Cartnee had a thing for eye candy
Liked to ogle the Cullen boys
Anjie liked the man meat too
She posted shirtless pics to be enjoyed

Aspen is the party crasher
She’s always good for a hoot
And how can we forget
Her pic of the kid in the wellie boots

Then we have our lovely judges
BATgirls in their own right
Nina was the first one in
She mandated wiener fights

Alice followed close behind
With Chex mix and a love of Rob
Rosanna rounded out the group
You’ll never hear her use ‘throb’*

So to the BATgirls
We salute you
Crackfickin for the whole wide world
We look forward to…

Well….

You’ll have to come back for that part

Love
H & T

I love that. I think that it is fuckawesome for me to make the subject of my entry...New Entry.

So why am I writing a new entry? Just in the off chance that anyone reads this, I want everyone to know that we have a new blog called the Fictionators that we list stories for people to check out. If you are looking for a new story to read and maybe a little bit about why you should check it out, check out the blog.

If you don't see a story on there and especially if you know I already read it, trust, it is going on there.  Dude we put up 66 stories in our first post and I already have carpel tunnel.  I know that there are at least 28 stories that I read.  Regularly.  Because I must have no other life.  Oh that is right, I really don't have any other life.  Eh, I like it that way.  If you like a story feel free to PM one of us and we will add it asap, which might not be s but will be asap. :)

Thank you. That is all.

So everyone else is on LJ now and I will try to make a page here too. I spend most of my time reading ffic so I will post some rec's here. Also working on PS so I will post the stuff for that here as well.

I still have 20 days of school left, so I will probably be out of it for that long, but come the end of May, I hope to have my shit together on here. So that is all.

If you are here, reading my page, and I can't imagine that...but I will give you a few recs now.

My all-time favorite fanfiction that I have ever read is Scotch, Gin, & the New Girl. It will be my dream come true to be able to read even a part of it for iFic. So read that. It just has everything that is wonderful in it. It is funny. The character development is so awesomesauce that even if you don't like Bella or Edward (shoot yourself now), you can still love someone and not feel lacking-Jinsper? The lemons are just...gah. The plot is the shit. I just love it and think about it all the time. Oh and the authors, jandco and wtvoc are total win. I stalk wtvoc regularly, I worry that I am getting on her nerves, but I can't help it. Throw in fab music and tha Dogg Pound and you've got yourself a winner.



Very Near and Dear to my heart is Wide Awake, which is total win. Just awesome. Amazing research, lemony, great plot, dialogue that just kills me, and gives you a new affection for the word "fuck" and all its variations. Dude I cannot go on about how much I love this story and how...just how down to earth and gracious AngstGoddess is. this should be a real book. and a movie. but they wouldn't do the book justice. AG is just the greatest.

If it is just outright amazing humor with a lil bit of angst, you want Frenemies. But McVampy took that down soon to work into original fiction. All of her stories are fuckawesome though, so read Apples and Oranges. I love tie guy.

If you just want to read something that is fuckhot with poetry and is so amazingly well-written that you want to go to the author's house and offer to do her laundry so she has more time to crank out the story? Then you want Tropic of Virgo. That is in my soul. And I am totes on the optimism train. Yeah, side of the road and all...go to the twilighted threads!

Dude, like all of my recs are set in High School. wtf? Okay, my last rec for this entry, which I am sure I will expound of all of these and more, is the collected works of Ooohlalaaa. If you want some general mindfuckery with hot lemons and witty banter, then read Resisting Edward, which is complete and contains my favorite nonexplicit lemon of all time that still gets me hot right now just thinking about it, and its sequel Seducing Edward, which is driving me crazy. If you want the one of the hottest Edwards that you will meet, then you must read Unexpected. Tatted up, peen-pierced, beanie-wearing art-ward is win. Her vamp story, Bloodline, is amazing too. And her new story, Time and Again does not fail to deliver in the mindfuckery as well. Really, all of her stories are that good.

I can't stop there. Humor...definitely Mr. Horrible. That shit is sooooo funny. Drag Queen James. yeah, read that too.

Okay and now for my real last rec today (so I can go read something) is the Lost Boys. Man, now I am thinking of all kinds of stories to rec. But the reason that the Lost Boys is rounding mine out for today is that it is so good. Duh. Well, it is just. so. sweet. And it is fuckhot. Edward is a musician and Bella is his muse. He flies halfway around the world to find her. And he is BRITISH. like with a British accent. Can you top that? No. So read it!

Alrighty I will be back with more indepth analysis and lots more within the next week or so. I did notice that everything I recommended, except for the one story by OHL, is all human (AH-AU). That is generally my preference. I have been branching out and will say more about that in my next entry. I am hoping this LJ thing will work out for me :)
