Rob Outtakes

Okay, I came across these a million times on Twitter today and fell in love more and more every time I saw one. I know these are all over every blog, but I had to make my blog pretty with The Man.

Hold onto your bits...


Get ready for the beauty....





I'm sorry...you want me to what?


Ummm...I don't think I could do that!


Let me think about it for a second....


The look on his face, to me, is so sexy. The set of his mouth, the look in his eyes..yeah, he's got my attention.



*sigh* The knit of his brows makes me quiver



Penny for your thoughts?


Sitting in the sunlight...where are your sparkles, Robward?






And quite possibly, my favorite picture ever....


Every time any of his outtakes are released, I feel like the luckiest h00r in the world. I successfully wasted hours of my day today looking, looking again, and, you guessed it, looking some more.

Happy Thanksgiving to me, I've given many hours of thanks today for the beauty of this man.

FIC REC: Dead Confederates


So, I read some fanfiction. Right? I've been active in the fandom for over a year and a half and have read so many stories I've lost count. Some of them have stuck with me, left me wanting more, had me hanging for every new update. I've been rec'd a lot of fics, beta for a lot, and stumbled upon several that I adore. I wanted a place to share some of my favorites because I'm all about spreading the love.

Enough of my jabbering, here is my first fic review.




Let me start this off with three words:

READ

THIS

FIC

Dead Confederates by Goldenmeadow


This fic fell in my lap one day on Facebook and it took me some time to actually get to sit down and read it, as I am very busy in my RL and OL Life.

But...damn.

I am so glad that I did.

If I could say one thing about this fic it would be this:

This is one of the best/different/entertaining portrayals of the Cullens I've read. I want to be surprised, excited and satisfied. This does it for me.

I've never met an Edward like this. He is rough, crass, sexy and isn't afraid to whip it out and take care of himself. And that is exactly why I love it. Each character is different. It's not the 'proper' Edward you will find here...no. It's not the clumsy Bella that trips up over everything...no.

It's Eddie, don't call him Edward. Please, don't call him Edward.

Bella is tough, independent, knows what she wants.

Alice isn't the super sweet, adorable pixie that everyone automatically loves, which we always see.

And Esme? Well, I won't say a lot about her, you have to see for yourself. She. Is. Priceless.

From the very beginning it promises to be different from anything you've ever read. Don't be scared, embrace it. I'm not entirely sure I could ever do this story justice with my meager words, but I will certainly try.

DC has climbed its way into my faves very easily. Not only is there the fact that the characters are out of the 'norm' but there is real substance. A plot. There's conflict...humor (lots of it), sexy times (even more of those) but it is well written, draws you in to the point that you can't seem to hear the things that people around you are saying. I've become so passionate regarding this beer drinking, cussing, monkey stroking vampire and his siblings. The desire and need for this tough,human Bella is still there...but there is more to it. There is substance. There is history. There is suspense. It leaves you not only wanting to see more of the two of them together, but to know why. Why is he so drawn to her? Why is she so important to them all?

Is it complete?

No...

Oh, wait, don't fret. There are plenty of deliciously long chapters for you to read..and if you do catch up there's more!

That's right, more!

Rebelward Without a Cause is a series of outtakes, character developments, and fun bits to read to entertain and more importantly, give you some insight into the story chapters. Talk about back stories...these are the cream of the fucking crop. Why is Alice the way she is?

Ssshhhh...I won't tell.

You have to read to find out. ;)

So go do it.

Now.

Take a little trip to the Deep South, kick your feet up in Eddie DcCullen's double-wide and hold on tight.

Trust me, you will be glad you did it.

Aside from the story on ff.net, DcCullen has a great blog too. Be sure to click on over there and check out the teasers, the art, the music, you'll love it.

I Love My Authors :)

This came to my attention the other day and was so excited to see it I had to share! I had no idea that it even existed, that's why I am so late in posting it.

The Fictionista Workshop hands out awards to members of the fandom that have been nominated for specific categories.

"Each month, Fictionista Workshop recognizes writers, editors, and participants who contribute above and beyond what is expected of an online community. The scope of these awards includes both creative original fiction and derivative fiction. We encourage you to nominate special community members in these categories for the recognition they deserve." ~Fictionista Workshop



I am humbled by all the fantastic support and enthusiasm from everyone, this means so much to me! Another round of sloppy kisses and bear hugs to you all!

My Twilight Addiction

Well, as most of you probably know, I love Twilight.

**Shocker**

I've been accumulating some Twi-goodies for almost 2 years and felt that part of my treatment for my addiction would be to share with my fellow Twi-drunks.

So here are some pics of my stuff:


This is from the World Premiere of Eclipse. I got an early screening pass from Nordstrom's and was able to see an early screening (9pm Pst) the night of the release...it was fucking awesome. I had the sweet shirt, great company and the golden fucking ticket.



I drink this

My goodies:




All my shirts from sweet Dazzy




My lovely mug from Caro - Bella comes when it gets hot...I love my mornings so much more now


I have great friends. They send me beautiful, thoughtful Twilight Gifts. Jellybean sent me this :D

and this




This is where a lot of my collection rests now...on my dresser, across from my bed.
Best Place Ever.


Had to add in the (empty) Vampire Wine Bottle too ;)


Oh, you wanted to see my bed? Well...okay. Lookie who I sleep with every night

I also have a Life-Size Eclipse Edward that resides in my room also, he is very comfortable there. To keep him company is a fabulous life size window cling (thanks to Sarah) that will don my slider door on the night of my Eclipse DVD party - pics of that will no doubt make their way on here too.

Okay, had to add in a Life-Size Edward (LSE) and Clingward pic too;)

On top of all my great goodies, I even spent an amazing weekend in FORKS celebrating, sight-seeing and, of course, drinking to all things Twilight. It's been an amazing ride so far and I can't wait more.
