The Art Teacher by spanglemaker9

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

So I read this in a day. I loved everything about it. It is smart, real and short. Sometimes I don’t have it in me to read a 40 chapter story. This was perfect. It gave me everything I wanted and needed without excess. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!

Bless you Melissa!! I have just spent the last half and hour desperately searching for another fanfic to read after having just finished profmom72″s Lucky Charm! She is such a good author, but I am afraid I have read all of her stories I have an interest in! So, you posted this at just the right time. Thank you! I am going to give this one a chance….so I hope it’s as good as you say. If not, I’m going to go and read Stay from my infamous list.

P.S. LOVE the graphic for this by the way, you do that? It’s perfect….love that pic of Rob. *sigh*

I did not! The graphic was don’t by TallulahBelle. I hope you enjoy this! Let me know either way.

This is a popular recommendation this week. What a big coincidence! I already checked it out.

PS: Breakfast at Tiffany’s was okay. I dont know if I consider it one of my faves of all time though but I heard so much buzz about it that I wanted to see what the big deal was. It was worth the read, but I think I have read soooooo many fanfics that my expectations are pretty high. Fics like Passion Fish and Shadow Guardians completely ruined me for most fics but I have found some pretty amazing ones over the years. That fic Bronze was wonderful though!

Melissa, I will most definitely let you know what I think once I’ve read it…whether I like it or not. My sister is going to read it to funny enough…we got done reading different fics and were looking for something good. So, you’ll get a multitude of reviews from me. Well, regardless of who created the graphic, it’s perfect!

Rachelle….sorry you didn’t enjoy BAT as much as I did. I kinda thought that maybe you’d think there was too much angst and drama, but it wasn’t horrible I agree. I have read better….Rhaposdy in B, Save You, Same Time Next Year, Sold, Sight Unseen, Across The Ocean….I could on and on. But you are right, those awesome fics have ruined me. Can’t seem to find any that are of the same caliber. What to do about that?! I hope The Art Teacher is one I can add to my list! Hey…what’s this Passion Fish about?! Who is the author, that’s how I search for my fics…let me know.

Ok so…..I just posted the comment above now, but I typed it hours ago while I was at work…only, I couldn’t post it b/c the network at my job was being stupid!

Anywho…..since I wrote that….I started reading the fic! OMG Mel I love it! It’s all I can do to tear myself away from it to do my homework. But, my master’s degree calls and I have to be diligent. So, I will be back to let you know how I like it after I finish it. Which, if I am not careful, may be tonight!

P.S. You won’t give anything anyway and tellme if E and B end up together will you?

Unfortunately, Passion Fish is an old fic that was deleted from ff.net by the writer. I read it years ago when I first started reading Twilight fanfics. There are some online that are amazing though like that fic Bronze is great! I loved it and Bizzarro Twilight is another great one.

Ohhhhhhh…no wonder I couldn’t find it on there, and believe me, I tried looking for it. That’s too bad, from the title it seemed interesting. Wonder why the authors take the stories down? Hmm….

Anyway, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE The Art Teacher…SO not what I ws expecting. Up unitl 1:30 am reading…had to force myself to put it down. Artward is going to be the death of me, I can see it. Ruined again by an awesome piece of writing.

P.S. I have something that I have been cooking up in my brain for a while, and no, it’s not the story I sent you the beginnings of Rachelle, that’s on the backburner. I’ll let you know when I think it’s worthy for others to read. K? If you want.

P.P.S. Rachelle if you haven’t started reading this fic..you have to! It’s that good. I promise.

Stacie, I would love to read whatever you have working in your head. I will make sure to read this fic too. It is complete so thats always good. Authors take down their work for different reasons, but I know Passion Fish was taken down because the author wanted to change the characters and actually publish it as a novel. It is now an ebook on some site. The story was so original that if the Twilight character names werent plugged in, no one would be able to tell it was a Twilight fanfic, so she took down the original and rewrote it with her own characters to get it published.

Thanks Rachelle…hopefully soon I will have even five minutes of spare time where I just sit and write…I’ve practically got the whole ending planned out! It’s the middle and getting started w/ Bella’s POV that I am having a hard time with.

Yes, do read this fic! I’m finished with it now and I’m sad about that. It was so good, I’m thinking of going back and re-reading it from the beginning, you know just in case I missed something.

Wow, wish I could read Passion Fish…seems so interesting to me now. Maybe I will go hunting one day and find it. We’ll see. What was it about? You remember?

Again Mel thanks for reccommending this fic! It was so, so good. I couldn’t put it down. It was just what I needed this week. I even suggested it to one of my co-workers…a Twilight fan, but not one who reads fanfic. And you know what? She loved it! So happy about that.

Stacie, email me when you get a chance. I might be able to find you a copy of Passion Fish I will definitely read this fic when I can. I am actually going to start on the sixth installment of the Renesmee’s Choice Series….I can’t believe there are so many sequels. I plan on starting it next week when I am on Spring Break and having it posted soon after that so I will be busy writing. It will definitely be fun to do some writing again for a fanfic.

*sighs* Well Stacie, as much as I wanted to read the Art Teacher, once I started skimming it…..something I do now before actually reading because I don’t like being disappointed, I noticed some stuff that turned me off so I figured I would tell you what I look for in a fic. I dont like angst which you know, but I also dont like when a character that I love is put in a bad situation or treated as a cliche either. I notice that tons of fics portray Rosalie and Emmett in a negative light. They are either materialistic, shallow people, or over the top cliches. I also notice that a lot of writers will have something bad happen to Rosalie, maybe because she had something horrible happen to her in the books, maybe because they dont like her and want something bad to happen to her in their fic, but either way I can find tons of fics that have her in a bad place. I like to check the epilogues to see if it ends happily not just for Edward and Bella but for all my faves characters, especially Rose, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice. I noticed in this one that poor Rosalie is yet again put in a less than favorable light and something bad happens to her, I just get turned off to those kinds of fics. Plus, I have a thing about present tense writing styles. It is a really weird quirk I have and only a handful of people can actually pull it off and they are usually professional writers. Like I said before, I am picky, I don’t deny this. I overlook small stuff like spelling errors and changing up some stuff about characters but for the most part I like for the characters to have some drama and at the end have the writer find a way to give them a happy ending. I dont like angst, dark themes, or tragedy because I see enough of that in real life so when I read, I like to dive into another world and escape.

Oh Rachelle, I am sooooo very disappointed that you decided not to read The Art Teacher….it was so, so good! I understand though what you are saying, we have to stand by our convictions in all things; EVEN fanfic! I admit, I too was more than a little bothered by what this author did with Rose’s character, but since it seemed to fit in this PARTICULAR story….I overlooked it and kept reading. Sorry. I did enjoy this one, and maybe one day….you can too.

As for her writing style, the friend I mentioned was actually an English major in college and she loved it…I was sooo surprised by that, b/c like you, she isn’t often impressed w/ these types of authors trying to pull off such a thing. IDK, at first, it was weird, but then I kind of got over it and lost myself in the story. Tome, and my sister, Edward was more……Tyler Roth (ya know Remember Me ROB?!) than Twilight Edward…it sorted of worked for me.

Try her writing again…..I have lost myself in another one of her fics….The Wedding Party. YES, it is sort of angsty, BUT please give it a try! Please, for me? Rose is a VERY strong, independent woman in this one who doesn’t take any crap! Especially from Emmett, who is deep down inside decent, but just a little toolish. Try it…..it’ll be good.

P.S. I will e-mail you, right now in fact!

Lol Stacie, you crack me up. Trust me, it really just depends on the person. I know plenty of published writers who can read a fic even if it has a peeve of theirs and still love it…..I also know writers who can’t stand such things. It just depends on the person and their personal likes and dislikes. Just because I do not like what I saw in this fic does not mean that it is a bad story. It simply means it isn’t my cup of tea. There are plenty of fics I love that others aren’t fond of. That is the great thing about fanfics, there is something out there for everyone. Some people love angst, some don’t. Some can read lemons and not blush, some can’t, so while I am sure this fic is great and the writer is great, it just isn’t for me.

As you have probably guessed, Emmett and Rose are pretty much my fave pairing so them being written a certain way is like writing Edward and Bella or Alice and Jasper a certain way. I know plenty of people who would stop reading a fic if Alice was treated the way that Rose is treated in a lot of fics so it really is all about preference. Please don’t take it to heart. You aren’t the first friend that I have who has a different preference in fics from me. After reading hundreds of fics, writing tons of stories and so forth, I just started sticking to a style I seem to like better and fits me. I have read present tense writing before and if the story is super amazing I can overlook it, but if the story already has things I am not very fond of then it gets harder to overlook. No worries my friend and stop trying to get me to read angst It aint happening. I have read plenty of angsty stories and it just is not my cup of tea!

Got you girl! Angst:Not your cup of tea! Ok, I will just have to keep repeating that until I can remember it. I hear you though….we all know that I don’t do verylemony fics, and I also can NOT stand non-cannon pairings…even if it is just Alice/Jasper. Riddle me this? WHY do so many authors insist on pairing Bella and Jasper so often? I’ve only a single one-shot that turned out to be Bella/Jasper but that was only b/c I didn’t realize that as the description didn’t elude to it! NEVER again…I was creeped out by it. So believe me, I hear you. Ok so, no angst. Hmmm, don’t know if I can rec any for you w/ no angst. The fics I read almost always have SOME angst. IDK, it makes the reunion at the end; or when E/B FINALLY get together that much better. Oh, and I have to have an HEA or forget it! I can’t read those.

Stacie, I almost forgot you arent a big fan of lemons. Passion Fish DEFINITELY has tons of lemons so it might not be for you. As for the Bella/Jasper thing….I wonder the same thing myself. There seems to be a group of fans who love that pairing but I dont get it. There was absolutely nothing in the books to indicate a connection between them. In fact, he is the main reason Edward left in NM so that pairing seems super random. I also have seen some Bella/Emmett but at least that makes more sense because Emmett always gave her bear hugs and stuff. I only do canon as well. I can do some angst but it depends on the degree of angst. I like drama, which can include a bit of angst, but people dying, sexual abuse, dark themes, cutting, or anything like that and I am not interested. I definitely need a happy ending!

Well……if the story is good, and the lemons make sense to the STORY and are not just written in there for the sake of the author living out their fantasy w/ Rob….then it’s ok. I can just skip the more graphic stuff. Although, there is a point where I will draw the line, so we will see whathappens w/ Passion Fish. If it turns out it’s not for me, I will just put it to the side and move on. No worries though ok, I will read it.

As for the whole Bella/Jasper thing! You are so right, nothing in the books indicated that sort of thing. I mean, they had exactly ONE conversation, and in the book, Edward was in the room for it. They were never alone like they were in the movie…Edward would never have left Bella alone w/ him after what happened in NM! So, I just don’t get it. Bella/Emmett…makes sense, but that’s just weird. Em w/out Rose, now way!

For me too, TOO much drama is not cool. I agree with you….ppl dying, sexual abuse, etc…I wouldn’t read that either. Not for me. HEA is what I like!

It is funny because you can tell which fanfic writers just watched the movies and which ones actually read the books because the movies changed so much up that the fics show it. The books are so much better and that is a given but it seems like Slade and MR didnt even try to do Eclipse justice. I think out of all three movies, it was the least like its book. The personalities were even changed. That is also why so many young teens are writing Jacob as the sweet guy who got taken advantage of. If you never read the books, especially NM and Eclipse, it would definitely seem like Bella was just playing with him. In the books, she very clearly on several ocassions tells him that it will always be Edward, she already chose before they were even friends. Plus, what ever happened to temperamental Jacob? That was a huge part of his personality that they downplayed and they changed up sooooo many parts to do that. I guess Taylor can’t pull that off, he just looks like a pouting little boy, so they lost a lot of Jacob’s fire in the movies. Hopefully Condon does a better job but MR will still be the writer so I dont have much hope for the script.

You know, that’s true. Those that have given the movie smore credence than the books…almost always write Jacob as the wronged party! It’s really sad when they do that and I try to stay away from fics that even mention Jacob at all really. Although, there was one recently that Jacob and Edward were friends and it had nothing to do w/ Bella. That actually worked for me, and Jacob was well-rounded, normal and employed. I’d rec it to you, but it’;s waaaay to much angst and drama for you.

I hear what you are saying about the movies, believe me I hear you. From the little I ahve seen of BD, it seems like Condon is doing the book justice. BUT, there is MR and her damned script w/ soooo much potential for her to screw something up; so no expectations for greatness right? Just sets up disappointment.

I have read some fics with Jake in them BUT not the cliche love triangle ones where as soon as they mention Jacob’s name you know what is about to happen. I like Jacob to be a well rounded character as well. He needed some depth in my opinion in the books so I do find it interesting when he is in fics that give him that and make him a character that can be truly loved and not annoying.

I don’t have any expectations for BD. I thought Slade would do Eclipse justice and I was definitely wrong about that. There was just too much that was changed from the books and a lot of it had nothing to do with being visually dynamic or the time limit. I hope Condon does it right but you are correct about MR. I am sure her Jacob and Taylor crush will somehow play out.

Yeah, and that’s what I’m afraid of! MR’s Taycob crush coming through in the movie. Cause it’s not bad enough that we will have to sit through half of part 1 from his prespective! Oh no…she’ll be sure to add aspects to the story that weren’t there to begin with. So yeah, I am going to go with the plan of keeping my expectations low so I will not be dispppointed like I have been in the past.

As for fic w/ that “love triangle” I won’t read those! That is so not what the original story was meant to be in the books….I mean, clearly I don’t have trouble w/ authors taking theri liberties w/ the characters to fit w/in the dymanic of their story…but that “love triangle” is just TOO much. Know what I mean?

Another question for you? Why do authors constantly have Bella, if she’s not with Edward and/or Jake (rolls eyes) at some point in the story…why oh why, do they have her w/ James or some variation of him? It’s SOOO annoying to me that in my story I’m writing, I think her ex will be Paul.

I think it is because of the interest James took in her in Twilight. Plus, he is a bad guy and everyone relates to him in that way so usually he is used as the evil ex, not as a good guy or something. It actually makes a bit of sense if you think about it. James is an obvious pick for a jerk from the past. He was a villian and had an obsessive personality. If he were human, he would have easily been the crazy ex that made Bella’s life a living hell so I understand why they use him whereas a character like Jacob gets a mixed response from the fandom. Either you love him or hate him and if a writer writes him in a negative light, the lovers will be upset. If he is gushed over, the haters won’t want to read it, so it is better to use a character like James who isnt loved in the fandom. Now as far as fics that make James out to be a wonderful human being…..they lost me there lol.

What always intrigues me is how split the fandom is on Jacob. It cracks me up because I have seen tons of fics that love Jacob but also tons that are so annoyed with him. I think if SM would have given his character some actual depth and not taken the easy way out by just deciding to try to wrap everything up in a pretty bow at the end, his character would have been clearer. The imprinting pushed a lot of people over the edge. I was shocked by how many readers I know that stopped reading BD altogether because of the imprinting. It disgusted me but I needed to finish the book. Even Jacob lovers try to overlook it and very rarely do you come across someone who doesnt find it creepy in some shape or form. Contrary to popular belief, I was all for Jacob gettting a happy ending….aka Leah…but I was hoping it was with someone close to his age!!!!

Yes, Jacob and Leah!!! When I first read BD, that’s what I was hoping for, that’s what I thought would happen. The whole imprinting thing threw me more than the pregnancy did! I was like, “What?! No way!” So gross, so creepy, so wrong. I’ll never understand what SM was thinking about. I wonder if now, that she’s had some time to take a step back and look at it, now that the fandom has spoken about it…if she (SM) regrets that whole imprinting thing. You think? I’d love to ask her that question one day.

Yeah….makes sense about James when you put it like that. Still, I’ve read SO many now where he is protrayed as such a jerk that it has become cliche…I’m waiting for some author to try something a little different. I read a fic where James wasn’t all bad, or all good actually. The Blessing Ring…James’ ending was weird for me b/c well, he ended up w/ Alice of all ppl…and Jasper w/ Angela! Ugh! Horrible I know, but again, I didn’t know going in that would happen in the end or I may not have read it. Didn’t like the Jasper in that story though, he was an a#$hole! Big time!

Oh hey…that fic you mentioned to me, Campus Liasions, I couldn’t find it. Is it still on ff.net, was it ever? Let me know, I was interested in reading that.

P.S. Rachelle, how is your foot?!

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4491967/1/Campus_Liaisons

There you go Stacie. It is pretty good but does have lemons so beware. They are reasonable ones though. As for my foot, it is doing better. I am home for Spring Break and it is nice to just relax right now. I have to stay off of it as much as possible and go back to the doctor when I get back to school. I have decided to spend my time writing my next fic so I am making the most of it, thanks for asking

PS: I HATE when a writer makes one of the main characters….the Cullens and Bella…a jerk. That usually happens to Rosalie, but sometimes people will venture out and choose Jasper, Alice, or Emmett. I read one months ago where Alice was super evil and I just had to stop reading it.

So girls,
there is this BIG discussion going on here and no one tells me about it!!! I’m dissapointed!

I haven’t read the fics you mention and I haven’t started The Art Teacher yet, but as of currently, fanfic is owning me bad. Bad as in I have a degree I don’t do much work for! LOL

I miss our discussions and I can’t wait for more stuff to come out so we can discuss it!

Stacie, you’re writing a fic??? How awesome! I’ll be so interested to see it!!!

Hey Chrissy! I was wondering if you would see our discussion.

I’m happy I found you!

What have you been up to? We’ve just been talking about our fic preferences….no angst for me, no over the top lemons for Stacie….and how we both think MR is going to ruin BD by adding so much Jacob it is laughable.

PS: The new fic recommendation looks like a serious angsty, tragic downer, I am getting sad just seeing the graphic for it. No thank you

Yes, I saw your no angst preference and I knew about Stacie’s tastes, but I promise to you Disjointed is beautiful and unique! Plus, it’s so short, you won’t feel the angst! And it’s more sadness than angst!

I’ve been SO worried about BD – with the 2 new made up scenes – married Edward in Alaska and B & E filming in a theathre in Vancouver. What ARE these scenes? Please, MR, don’t ruin it!!!

I’ve not been up to much, mostly my studies and enjoying London I hope you girls are all well!

I am not in the mood to feel sad or like I want to cry…that’s why I dont do angst. My mom works in a hospital, trust me I hear plenty of heartbreaking stories on a regular basis which is why I dont like to deal with it in fics.

Like Stacie and I were saying about BD, we dont have big expectations for it so if it is nice, great, but if MR screws it up, not a surprise.

I too have been engrossed in school work lately so I know what you mean. I hope you are having fun with London.

Oh well, I understand your no-angst policy Do you want something super cute? A tiny bit of angst, but it’s SO cute! “I Thee Wed” by Sydney Alice! It’s probably gonna be a future recommendation! Pus there’s only the epilogue left!

I try really hard not to have expectations for BD, but I’m failing! I have hope in Bill and I want this film to be amazing!

You know what I want in BD? One….just one kiss between Rosalie and Emmett! Who would think we would even have to ask for that? They are the most passionate couple in the house and yet Alice and Jasper get more action in the films than they do. All I want is one kiss between my favorite couple.

Oh, I know! If they don’t have one this time, I’ll be super angry!

It is just another way in which MR has butchered the story. The Cullens have been watered down and so many personalities have been changed. You know she is going to mix up scenes and alter the outcomes of our favorite parts. That is exactly what she did in Eclipse and for no reason.

PS: In that fic you recommended, does one of the main characters die in it?

This woman has changed the saga so much and I hate it! I wish she’d just keep true to the book! It worked with LOTR!
I don’t wanna spoil it, but since it’s in the 1st chapter – yes, one character dies.

She has definitely ruined the films because of her own personal preferences. She changed so much in Eclipse and it seems she gets worse as the films progress. Who knows what she changed in BD.

Time will show not IF but HOW MUCH MR has ruined BD…

That is so sad but true. No matter what she does in BD, it doesnt change that she ruined a good story in Eclipse by making it more about Jacob and trying to hype up a triangle. Ironically she didnt even do his character justice. In NM, she totally altered the Volturi, Edward’s abilities, his strength…which she also did in Eclipse….and Twilight was the only one that stayed mostly true to the characters even when she altered things from the book.

I read that fic. It is sad but unfortunately I have heard of sadder events in life. Drinking and driving is a horrible thing that people dont realize until it is too late. I know people who drink and drive, they disgust me with their ignorance and lack of respect for other human beings. Now I am sad…this is why I dont read angst…so I will read something to liven my mood.

I’m glad you read it and I’m sorry it made you sad. It’s true, there’s always something worse out there but there’s also something better! Go read some fluff!

I need to after that! I might read a classic that I love, Shadow Guardians. Ever heard of it?

Nope, is it good? My list of fics to read is bordering on insane with about 100 fics listed… and the funny thing is that I always read ones people recommend even before I put them on the list, so that the 100 never get read! LOL

Speaking about preferences (like Rachelle’s no-angst and Stacie’s less-lemons) mine is NO SLASH and NONCANON!
I can’t deal with non-regular couples, I’ve tried but it makes my insides turn. So no Jasper/Edward or Bella/Carlisle or Alice/Emmett/Seth or ANYthing like that …

But I know Mel likes them so once again – to each their own

Aah, also I have a soft spot for any fics with vampire Edward and human Bella, they fascinate me more than all-human fics

ps. And an even softer spot for all EPOV fics

I HATE slash, non canon pairings, and angst. I LOVE all human or all vampire, as long as it is a good plot I will follow it. It has to be a happy ending. I love fics with different POVs and little to no Jacob. I dont mind Jacob if he isnt trying to break up Bella and Edward. Overall, it has to be canon, a happy ending, and a good story. And absolutely no angst….drama is fine, but no death, tragedy, etc.

Wow you guys wow!!! I went to bed last night and you all chatted it up without me! Now I’m jealous. I don’t even know where to begin to jump in so…I guess I’ll start here. Rachelle, so glad you’re foot is getting better and that now you have some time to chill and just relax on Spring Break for a while. Happy writing, I went to see when you are done please! Thanks for the link to Campus Liaisions…don’t know why I couldn’t find it.

Chrissy…yes, I am TRYING to write a fic….I’ve never said anything to you about it? Well, I have several different ideas running through my head at this time, but I don’t have the time to actually sit down and write anything! It’s driving me crazy realy b/c if I don’t get this stuff out soon….I’m going to forget all of it! If and when I can get to it…I will let you all know.

I also hate slash, and non-canon pairings! I don’t think that the slash is necessary and I would never read a fic like that. Non-canon pairings are just weird and freak me out. I PREFER all human stories, but do not have aproblem w/ fics where the Cullens are vamps. And you guys know, as has been discussed amongst you that I do not like graphic lemons! Romance yes, some mild lemony stuff ok….but all out raunch…NO thank you!

Rachelle, you would hate, hate, hate Disjointed then! It’s so angst, tradegic and sad I can barely stand it! But I’m nearly done w/ it now, and I can’t turn away yet. It’s killing me, and never want to read another thing like it again.

Oh and Chrissy….Please, Please, Please send some of the all EPOV fic my way!! I have never come across that…just outtakes of stuff. Never the whole story.

P.S. Girls….thank you both for rec’ing the stuff you have this week. Rachelle for Passion Fish and Campus Liasions and Chrissy for I Thee Wed….better be nothing but fluff girl after Disjointed!

P.P.S. Chrissy…have you read Lucky Charm or anything at all by the author profmom72? If not, go ahead and do so! And yes,PLEASE read the The Art Teacher! I promise you it’s as good as Melissa said it was. AND then…Chrissy, read The Wedding Party by the same author as TAT, K? You’ll love it! Sorry to add to your list of 100….I hear you though! I thought I was making head way on my list….but no luck! I got distracted by TAT and now these others….will it ever end?! Ok enough, I have homework to do! So easy to get caught up with this.

Hey one more thing! If this thread gets any longer….we’re going to make the sidebar! And that hasn’t happened in forever! Yay!!!! I miss our discussions girls.

Oh wait…..I must that Chrissy I agree with this statment:Time will show not IF but HOW MUCH MR has ruined BD!!! Absoultely true! AND, how do you know this:with the 2 new made up scenes – married Edward in Alaska and B & E filming in a theathre in Vancouver?! What the hell is that about?! I haven’t heard this…ugh?! Bwt that and the flash forward to a older Reneesmee…I don’t know what to expect!!!

I know it’s really sad, but Disjointed has become one of my favourite fics

Also, I’m glad that this discussion is going well! I’ve missed these!

Stacie, I’m SO excited for your fic, I really want to know what story you’ve come up with!
Funnily enough, I have a vague idea too and I actually have the title ready but not the story. It may get written this summer (hopefully the title stays untaken)!

When do you think you’ll post the 1st chapter?

Awww… Chrissy thanks for your support and enthuasiam, I knew I could count on you! Girl, these are just ideas. Some of them I have put “pen to paper” so to speak, but mostly they are just ideas floating around inmy head based on phrases I hear, or songs I listen to. I think I have a title for at least two or three of them….I think at least two or maybe three will be one-shots and two full lengths. It may be a while before I am ready to post. I may even want you and Rachelle and possibly Mel to look at it before I post. How does one even go about posting?! I have a fanfic.net account…..so I guess that’s a good start.

OHHHHHH, I can’t wait to read your fic either Chrissy!!! Looks like we will all be busy writing, how exciting is that?! We can be each others betas.

Our discussions have surely been few and far between haven’t they? Maybe things will pick up w/ sooooo much goodness on the horizon! Can anyone say April 22nd?!

P.S. Chrissy…read The Art Teacher please!!!! It’s only fifteen chaps….it won’t take you long.

Ok, ok, I’m just gonna read this 1-shot, then re-read bits of the EP novella and then the Art Teacher.

Stacie, I’d love to help with your fic! I’ve done beta-ing and pre-reading, I’m also doing some banners And I really want to see what you have!

Hopefully with WFE things will get going again – then in June with the BD trailer!!! AAAAH!!!

I cannot wait until WFE comes out. I think it will be awesome and will give Rob a chance to do something amazing outside of Twilight.

Congrats ladies on starting your fics. I know you will both do great. My creative juices are starting to flow so I am already outlining my next fic. I hope you will read it when it is done! If you two need any help with posting on ff.net or anything, just let me know

Thanks, Rachelle!

I enjoy your fics too and I hope to see a new story of yours soon!

Thank you both so much for the offers to help with my fics! Believe me, I am going to need all the help I can get. Can’t wait to read what you two write!

WFE is going to be EPIC….. I can feel it, this is the big one for Rob girls. And I can’t even tell you how excited I am for BD news and trailers to start.

Ok Chrissy….as long as you promise to read it and then to let me know what you think…it’s all good! Oh hey, can you send me the link for I Thee Wed? FF.net was acting dumb earlier and I couldn’t find it.

Wow we have tons of comments in here and to think it just started off with me and Stacie talking about our preferences for fics

Here is the link http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6596606/1/I_Thee_Wed

The story is adorable! Sydney Alice just started a new one which is very promising, so I’d look out for anything she writes! Enjoy!

And yes, I think WFE will be Rob’s Titanic… Hopefully an Oscar nomination or two next year…

I would be in heaven if Rob got the credit he deserved with an Oscar nomination but either way I am sure the film will be amazing.

I’m telling you guys…eleven more comments and this thread makes the sidebar!! Who hoo!

Chrissy, thanks for the link to the fanfic, I can’t wait to dive in and I am always on the look out for new authors. Gees…my list of things to read just got infintely longer! I need to take a sabbatical from work to catch up on all this reading!

Oh, mark my words girls…Rob WILL get an Oscar nom…that is the buzz around HW that I am hearing. Rob in a tux, at the Oscars w/ a nom…priceless. Even IF he doesn’t win, a nomination will give him the credit he so rightfully deserves.

I hope he gets it some day, just to prove that he is more than Edward and he shouldn’t be judged because of it!

That would definitely be something. It would be amazing if he got a nomination and you ladies are right. Even if he doesnt win, it is still an honor.

Yes because it would mean that he would be respected and given the notice that he so rightfully DESERVES as a brillant actor!!! A nomination would do his self -esteem a world of good too. I mean, did you read the latest VF article he just did? The boy broke my heart with that talk! WFE is going to be proof positive that Rob is waaaaaaayyyy more than Edward!

Four more comments girls and we make the sidebar!

Hello ladies!

I just wanted to tell you that I had a great idea for a fic last night! It came to me so suddenly and then all I could think about was that idea and that story!!!

I talked to a girl who’s read most big fics out there and she said the plot hasn’t been used before which got me really excited!

But I’m just so scared! I’ve never written anything this big before (only academic writing and occasional poems) and I don’t want to start if I’ll be wasting my time.

Plus, I don’t have any time until the end of May, because of my university exams.

But the idea is there and it’s nagging me. It’s just me being busy and scared!!!

Chrissy girl just do it! Do it before you lose your nerve and forget the plot and what you want to say. It’s like what Rachelle told me once…if you feel like the story must be told than tell it! I can’t wait to see what it is, I am sure it will be A-ma-zing! And I will definitely read it and help you out anyway I can.

I am scared and busy too to start writing any of the several ideas I have going on in my head. So, let’s just support each other and get it done!

Chrissy, you should definitely write it! I love to write and it is such a great way to dive into something. Just let your creative juices flow….when you have the time. I am back at school now as well and already counting the days until summer gets here. Mine will start in the middle of May so until then things will be hectic.

Girls, thanks so much for your support! I’m sure I’ll write it at some point and I’ll definitely keep you posted!

I discovered a wonderful and fluffy fiction recently and I can’t wait to recommend it to you! Hopefully it’ll get its post soon

Can’t wait to see what you rec this week Chrissy! Thank goodness it’s fluff though…can’t take anymore drama! And you are most welcome for the support…anytime.

P.S. This discussion thread made the sidebar!!!

Yay for fluff! Chrissy I am looking forward to some fluff after that angst driven tragedy you last rec’d *shudders* that was too much for me.

I don’t even want to think about that fic….I couldn’t sleep after I finished reading it. So yeah, please bring on the fluff!

See that is why I dont read that stuff. It messes with your mind!!!!

I’m sorry for the distress Disjointed caused, but I honestly believe it’s a good story
I’ll see if I can rec the fluff story soon, hopefully next Monday

Well at least I tried it so you ladies can never say I didnt try an angst fic that you rec’ed lol. I just dont like tragedy or angst. Reading fics for me is fun. Im not trying to get anything from the story except for a laugh or some high quality romance. I just want to enjoy it so I dont do the over the top angst stuff. Like I said before, if I want that, I will just ask my mother about her day at work….hospitals are full of that tragic stuff. Fluff makes me smile and I want to smile when I am reading. Very rarely do I like angst that moves me to tears unless in the end it is a happy ending. No worries Chrissy, it isnt like you forced us to click on the link and read it. Now when I say no thanks to an angst fic you will know I am serious about my romance, fluff, and just enough drama to make it interesting. We all have different beliefs in what makes a good story which is apparent the more we talk.

Ok, so this is not the cute story I was telling you about (because that deserves a separate post) but I just found it and I’m loving it!
I’m only 1 chapter in but it’s cute, fun and fluffy
Enjoy!

Ok, I’m on chapter 2 now and I’m laughing so hard… go read it!

just to warn you, it’s in progress

Sooooo… I read The Art Teacher. “Devoured it” is more like it! It was AMAZING!!!

Chrissy…….so glad that you FINALLY read The Art Teacher!!! Told you that if you gave it a chance, you’d LOVE it!! Seeing this post, and that banner….I want to read it all over again! Loved, loved, loved this fic! It has ruined all other fic for me b/c since I read, I haven’t found another one that has come even close…..*sigh* Too bad it can’t be a movie starring Rob, Kristen and compnay…..:-) So, was I right? Did it not have a Tyler Remember Me vibe?

P.S. Chrissy…….just looked at that link you left above all those months ago for that fic…Dear Mr. Masen…..not finished yet huh? Looks interesting though, I MAY have to go there and try reading it.

I absolutely loved it, Stacie, you’re right. But for some reason I didn’t see that Tylerr connection, the two don’t seem to have much in common in my mind.
As for DMM, it started amazingly, but I’m afraid my opinion on it has changed a little since the beginning. I’m still reading it but it has changed a bit. I’d still recommend it but I’m sure it will be better when it’s complete.
Ladies, you need to read the rec’s from the last 2 weeks, they are wonderful!

Really? Didn’t see it huh? Well, that’s ok. I am glad that you read it and enjoyed it just as much as I did! It really was a wonderfully written and believable story.

Ohhhhh mannnnn, really? You don’t like DMM s much anymore? Well that’s too bad b/c from the parts I just skimmed, it looked good. But, it happens sometimes if an author takes too long to finish the fic…they lose focus and the story suffers. Oh well, I will probably read it and see for myself anyway. She seems to be still updating regularly anyway as the last update was on 7/23/11. At least she won’t leave us hanging like so many others have in the past.

P.S. Oh yeah….as for the rec’s the past two weeks…hmmmmmm….don’t know if they are my cup of tea girl. I don’t mind Vampward….but is it really drama filled? And that period piece from last week…knowing what you know about my fic pref’s, would I like it?

With DMM, there are two authors and it updates once every 2 weeks. IMO the updates don’t move along too much and are pretty short, so I’m losing my patience.
As for the rec’s – last week’s is funny and fluffy and I think you’ll like it, Stacie. Perhaps you won’t love it, but it’s enjoyable.
As for today’s – there isn’t drama as such, it’s just sad how lowly Edward thinks of himself. Bella fixes him, I promise.
If you’re a Phantom fan, then the story is a MUST!

Wow I can’t believe there is still life in this comment section after so long. I love it! How have you ladies been? I have just recently decided that even though I will be focusing on my masters in the fall, I am going to attend the BD premiere. I am stoked and yet a bit lost on how to make it happen but my biggest concern is not having someone to camp out with. I would love to camp out with a group that I know. I hope you ladies are doing well!

Ah, Rachelle, I’m so glad you’ve changed your mind!
Oh wow, this is the least of your worries – you’ll find so many great people there, I’m sure! It’s nicer to be with friends, but for an experience like this, everyone becomes a friend. I’ve said it before and I’m saying it again – there are no other friends like those who you’ve slept on the streets with! LOL, it’s true! Camping out for something that you’re all passionate about is lots of fun! Don’t you worry!

Any chance of getting you to fly all the way from London for the LA premiere I highly doubt it but hey it is always fun to ask. I have a feeling even if I dont find anyone to go with me, I can make friends when I get there. I am pretty good about that kind of stuff.

DMM sounds very interesting to me Chrissy, I think I will be giving that one a shot. Do you happen to know when those authors are planning to be done? Like have they given any hints? I do understand what you mean though…about losing patience. I will never understand how someone can start writing something and then never finish it! It’s very annoying.

Ok….perhaps I will give last week’s rec a try as well. If I don’t like it, I will just stop reading it. Right? But, maybe I will and it will be exactly what I have been looking for since I read The Art Teacher!!!

Hi Rachelle! I was wondering where you were. I was just getting ready to e-mail you to see how everything was. I am doing well…busy with work and school. Summer has been very eventful..ie:my social calender has been full! Now, I am looking forward to my birthday in a couple of weeks…..planning something fun and interesting! Sounds like you have had a busy summer yourself. When does school start back up for you?

So…..the BD premeire huh? You are gonna go? Sounds…like fun. You will have a blast! And you will make a ton of news friends. Waiting in line for things always bonds people and being that you all will already have a common interest…..and besides, you’re personable! *sigh* Wish I lived closer to L.A….I’d so meet you there.

Stacie, when is your bday? Mine is this Thursday, August 4th. School starts back up August 29th so I still have time to get ready. You should definitely consider flying to LA and going to the premiere…..I am trying to recruit as many people as I can for this camp out session

Rachelle, my b-day is Thursday 8/25!!!! That’s right! I forgot that yours was this month as well! Ok, so…in case I forget….HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! HAve a completely, totally awesome day girl!! You deserve it. How’s the foot you had surgery on by the way? Yeah, does look like you have some time to get ready.

Hmmmmm…do not tempt me to fly out to L.A. and camp out on the street for three days for a glimpse of Rob and company! Oh how amazing would that be!? I shall see.

The foot is doing great. I have been released by the doctor and have been doing things normally for about a week now.

You should at least consider it. I am flying from Texas. The drive there would just be too much to do alone even though it would be nice to have my car with me. If you did go, we could camp out together!

Glad to hear that the foot is doing better! Must be a relief.

Ok…you twisted my arm. I will at least consider it. When are you going to nail down your plans to go?

Unfortunately, since the time and place for the premiere won’t be announced until later, I have no clue yet. Information probably will not be released until October or even November, which I hope is not the case. It will probably be a mad dash to get there, but I am keeping in touch with some people who usually find out before most so hopefully that will help. I am also talking with some ladies that plan on going and went last year so with any luck it will not be a huge hassle trying to plan.

Oh yeah….didn’t think about that Rachelle. Well…..keep me updated ok? Either find me here on some post, or just e-mail me! I would love to go and camp out with you…get Kellan and Rob’s autograph. Let me know!!!
