Personal Note: This blog is a personal one to help me keep track of stories I have read, am reading, or want to read.  I do convert stories, but for my own personal usage to add to my *nook eReader.  I have enjoyed helping people out in the past few months and I am sorry that I will no longer be able to help you with your search.  I wish you luck and happy reading.

Similarities about the Fanfiction authors that I like:

1. All LOVE Twilight
2. All LOVE the lemons, smut, yaoi, slash, peen, sexy hotness
   
3. Mostly all are female, but don't expect sappy happy chicklit. 
   

Ratings:
Love = 5 Stars
Like A Lot = 4 Stars
Like = 3 Stars
OK = 2 Stars
Eh = 1 Star

All rated stories listed in order of preference (High to Low) except "Eh".

I can hear your collective awws, and I know you're asking me how could I not love this puppy.  Go ahead and admit that's what you're asking me. 

The thing is I LOVE this puppy and dogs.  I am an animal person who loves furry little creatures, but I wouldn't categorize myself as a "dog" lover or person.  If I see a dog walking down the street, I want to talk to it (especially if it looks friendly...same applies to the owner attached to the dog),  But, that doesn't mean I want to take the dog home with me.  And I definitely don't want the dog to bark loudly at me, jump on me, push its strong stiff body on me, and especially not lick me with its big slimy wet stinky tongue.  xP

I'm not being harsh and I have good reason for what has made this way.  Really, I do have an excuse for my appalling anti-dog behavior.  Come with me and I'll tell you why.

*Please note, these things do not apply to puppies.  They are too adorable to not love even if they do all those things I don't like, but they have puppy smell and I want to eat them up.

Admission #1 - This is the third time I am writing this intro because my blog program has decided to hate me and keeps overwriting things I cannot retrieve right as I am done.  Your name is mud Movable Type.   Each time I rewrite it, it becomes a little different than the previous time.  I am sorry if this sucks...I am sure the other version may have been okay. 

I have had the privilege of knowing Meg (@MegUrbani) since Spring 2009.  We became friends over a common love of Twilight and Twilight Fanfic, but have since grown past just those two things.  Some time long ago, I was searching twitter for key words.  At the time, I wanted to know if anyone knew if Wide Awake's epilogue ever posted or if anyone else cared about it.  I found lots of people who were also talking about it, including Meg.  Admission #2 - I didn't think Meg and I would be friends because I was intimidated by her bio about being an internationally published fashion photographer.  Me, being ubershy and easily intimidated, thought there was no way she'd like me.  I was happy to find that Meg is completely down-to-earth, real, and awesome. 

My birthday was in August and Meg made me these very funny Edward/Rob pics.  I wanted to return the favor on her birthday with some kind of present.  I first had wanted to use photoshopped heads on bodies type of art (but in obviously bad ways, not manips).  However, I suck at photoshop, even in the bad way.  I decided to go with caricatures based on my manga/anime/Japanese Lolita/chibi love.  I made a picture of Meg and KStew.  Meg loves KStew and she and Mr. O like to tag team against me for ever saying anything against her (it's a fake diss mostly over her Twi blinking/stuttering thing).

Meg received her present yesterday and tweeted a picture of it.  I am so happy she liked it.

The key to being an unhealthily obsessed Twilight fan is to know when you're being a lunatic and to be able to laugh at yourself because of it.  There is always someone more crazy than you in any fandom.  Meg & I may be ravenous fans, but we also like to joke about everyone who seems worse (to us).  And yes, we too know how lame we can be about it. 

So I decided to see what was out there if we took ourselves too seriously and thought all things Twilight were magical and not in the least bit creepy.  Let's go...

Twilight / Rated: M / Chapters: 87 / Published: 9-11-09 / Bella & Edward

**SPOILER ALERT**

I will be discussing details within the story, so please don't read on if you haven't read the story or do not wish to see my thoughts on the story.

I will be discussing details within the story, so please don't read on if you haven't read the story or do not wish to see my thoughts on the story.

I've decided to try to review the fanfics that I have read so my ideas on each story are not lost when I move on to the next story.  It's easy to get the details confused between each story especially when all your main characters and pairings are basically the same.  This is my second review since starting this practice.  While I'd love to do this for all the stories I have read, that probably won't happen. 

I will be discussing details within the story, so please don't read on if you haven't read the story or do not wish to see my thoughts on the story.  This the first time I have felt compelled enough to write about a specific fanfiction story I have read.  I think it cut closer to home than I was comfortable with and I needed to expand on my thoughts to purge myself of these concerns.

Robert is currently on the promotion circuit for his new film Remember Me.  He finally decided to do the late night circuit (unlike during New Moon where Kristen & Taylor did the shows).  I'm so happy he decided to do Jimmy Fallon and The Daily Show, along with every other daytime or late night show.  Those two are my favorite.  In fact, I am super jealous of my friend, @megurbani who will see Rob at The Daily Show taping today.

I think Jimmy seemed a little nervous doing his "Bothered" skit knowing that the inspiration for it was sitting in the same tree as him.  I actually think Jimmy's accent even faltered a little bit. Seeing Rob do this skit really makes me wish he'd host SNL and be the musical guest too. Crossing my fingers!

Seriously, I have all these ideas in my head that I think would be great, but then real life takes over and I never get to any of them to the point where if I DID actually start, I'd be so far behind I won't do it. Such a blogging conundrum.  But I really want to try to be a better, more regular, blogger.

Here are my ideas for regular segments on the blog:

• Continue my regular entry updates for fanfics - rated, reading now, to-read, etc.
• Restart my concert reviews (starting with The English Beat/Fishbone show I saw on Friday)
• Start a new segment for reviewing the fanfics I have finished reading so people actually know WHY I rated them the way I did
  
• Start a new segment for highlighting a song a week whether it is for the song itself, its lyrics, or because it spoke to me that week
• Start a new segment reviewing new music I have bought
• Restart my SYTYCD blogging when Season 7 starts in May.
  

Now I don't want to be one of those generic blog sites that all have the same new hipster information.  Really, I didn't start this because I wanted to become famous (although I love seeing that someone has found me).  I blog because I sometimes have thoughts in my head that I want to get out.  I like to just be honest and write about things that speak to me or my passions. 

So, let's see if I can drag myself away from reading Twilight fanfic long enough to make these aspirations come true.  =)

Taylor Lautner hosted Saturday Night Live on 12-Dec-2009, so of course you had to expect at least one Twilight spoof.  I was pretty amused by how they made Taylor a Team Edward Twi-hard teenager.  He even kisses the image of Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen. 

On another note, while I am Team Edward all the way, as an actor I commend Taylor.  He is seventeen years old, but a consummate professional and willing to do the things his costars (RPattz and KStew) seem unwilling to do.  He's willing to enjoy his fame, be respectful yet enthusiastic, show his affections publicly and without an ounce of embarrassment, plus he actually looks like he cares how is presented when not filming.  He is the one the directors always mention first for being such a hard worker.  Of the three stars, Taylor is only one I could see doing SNL.  I respect him more for this.
