::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday

Hey you!! Yeah, you!! Unless you’re buying tickets to see Eclipse, back slowly away from the ticket booth, put your money away, and no one will get hurt. Lab Tech Andi’s been workin’ long and hard to find some tales that are a zillion times better than that other vampire crap they’re currently trying to push at the box office. So run as quickly as your feet can take you and don’t stop until you get to the blue door behind Dr. Cullen’s Love Shack, knock the beats of Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” and the password is “Suck this!” Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was dark in the lab, with the exception of the one light, dangling over the round table. I glanced around cautiously, as I tried to decide what my next move was going to be. Six pairs of topaz eyes glared at me with impatience, making me extremely nervous. I had no idea what I was going to do, but I knew they weren’t going to wait much longer. Without warning, a hand slammed down on the table, making me jump nearly a foot out of my chair. “Damn it, Andi! Are you in or out?” I heard the voice shout and I looked down at the table for a second longer. This shouldn’t have been a difficult decision, but in all honesty, it was killing me.

Last week, when Edward was in the lab, we spent a lot of time talking about random things while he composed. He would ask me about the odd goings on in the lab and I would ask him about stuff going on at the main house.

One of the things he’d talked about at great length was the lack of opportunities for Bella to practice using her shield. She was improving at pushing it out of the way, but he hadn’t been able to come up with many ways for her use it to protect anyone. That’s when the idea came to me and as soon as Edward saw it in my thoughts, he could hardly wait to share it with everyone. So this is how I found myself, getting my ass handed to me, by six impatient vampires, playing poker.

“I’m out.” I told Emmett as I threw my cards at him with mild disgust. He just laughed at me as he caught each and every one.

“I knew you didn’t have anything,” he retorted and gathered his chips, “You suck at bluffing.” The smile he wore looked like it was permanently chiseled into his face.

I should have known better than to gamble with vampires, but I wasn’t prepared for how easy it would be for them to rob me blind. I knew how Bella’s shield worked and if she covered everyone except Edward, I figured we could play an innocent game of poker without Edward being able to cheat by reading everyone else’s thoughts (or cards).

Oh, how wrong I was. Jasper and Alice were the only ones we agreed were not allowed to play since Bella’s shield doesn’t work on their abilities, but I should have only agreed to participate as dealer. Edward may not have been able to read anyone’s mind, but my silly human reactions gave away every single one of my hands.

“I would need to have torture survival training to effectively bluff anything in this game” I said as I grabbed the new hand dealt to me. I was a moron to keep this up, but I was determined to finish this, even if it broke me.

“Ante up!” Esme chimed in and everyone threw in their chips.

“So, Bella,” Emmett said in a very casual tone as he examined his cards, “are you and Eddie here going to go see that new vampire movie that came out this week?”

“You mean ‘Vampires Suck’?” Bella tilted her head a little and threw a few more chips into the center of the table. “Why on earth would I want to waste my time watching something that’s just going to make fun of me? I have better things to do.”

Emmett snickered and looked over at Edward, “Oh right, I forgot.”

“Emmett!” Esme scolded, but everyone at the table laughed anyway as Edward growled under his breath.

“You shouldn’t take things so seriously.” Carlisle added as he also threw in a few chips to the growing pile.

“Well,” I offered as I looked at my hand, requested two cards and decided to stay in this round, “if you don’t think that movie is worth wasting time on; I could experiment with the authors and see if they could do better.”

“That sounds like an excellent idea,” Rosalie said as she looked her cards over, “I’m nearly positive they could do so much better. I fold.”

“Me, too” Emmett said turning his cards over on the table.

“I’ll match and raise,” Carlisle said as he threw in his bet.

“I’m out!” Esme, Edward, and Bella all said together throwing their cards in.

So now it was just me and Carlisle. I looked at my cards again, I had a nine-high flush, which was better then most of the hands I’d been dealt tonight. “I’ll call,” I threw in the rest of my chips, “Whacha got Carlisle?”

“Full house,” he exclaimed as he laid down his cards and smiled widely at me.

“Damn, I really thought I had it that time!” I said putting my cards face up and pushing away from the table. “Since you guys just killed me, I guess I’ll go check on my authors, to see what I can get from them.”

Esme flashed to my side before I could finish standing and hugged me, “This was a lot of fun; we’ll have to do this again.”

“Oh, I’m not playing with you guys for a while,” I told her returning her embrace, “but I’ll be glad to be dealer anytime.”

“Then next time, I call Black Jack,” Emmett shouted excitedly, bouncing in his chair and looking around at everyone.

I rolled my eyes and put a hand on Bella’s shoulder, “You did well tonight.”

She put her hand over mine, “Thanks, Andi.” Turning toward Edward, “Maybe we should call it a night, too,” she said to him and he nodded and smiled back at her.

“Alright, love.” He stood and extended his hand to her. “Good Night, everybody,” he said and they headed out the door. At their departure, everyone else decided to follow and two by two, left me to the silence of my lab once more.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

With the release of such a ridiculous movie, I’ve suspected some people believe us, Twi-hards, can’t take a joke, but little do they realize; we’re a very tongue-in-cheek group and are quite capable of laughing at ourselves; when the joke is funny. This is the place I knew my authors wouldn’t let me down and my findings were just too numerous to publish them all. It was extremely difficult to decide what to include, with way too many to choose from and eventually I had to just spin a wheel. So, if you don’t want to waste your time or money at the box office this weekend; here are a few, much better, literary alternatives.

The first is “Becoming Bella Swan” by BellaFlan. Here you’ll meet Bella Flanagan, or at least that’s who she thinks she is, who is currently being treated for mental illness in an institution. After she’s read a book series called the Twilight Saga, she begins to see the Cullens in the hospital. Which version is reality and which is imaginary? You’ll have to read this completed story to find out.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5452501/

The next tale is a lust-filled, completely human retelling of Twilight, or maybe more like Midnight Sun, called, “Midnight Desire” by Twilightzoner. It’s told entirely from Edward's point of view as he battles with his monster, which is his insane uncontrollable teenage lust for Bella. This story is so full of smutty fun; it’s hard to put it down. And once you finish that, if you just haven’t had enough of role playing games with Edward and Bella, check out “RPGs” by Twilightzoner, the sequel to “Midnight Desire”, for a few extra random fantasies.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4392180/
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5783755/

The next one I have is a very dark and twisty tale called “Prey” by summer35. In this world, a powerful group of humans know of the existence of vampires and werewolves and strict rules are in place for the uneasy coexistence between the three kinds. Transforming humans without tacit permission is banned and all violators and victims are ordered destroyed. Bella was attacked when she was eight years old but miraculously survived. She returns to Forks during her junior year in high school and encounters the Olympic Coven. Against her will, she is drawn to Edward Cullen and into the dangerous world of shifting loyalties and deadly intrigue. The vampires in this world seem to be a bit of a cross between True Blood vampires, who can bleed and drink from humans without turning them and the canon versions, which sparkle and can survive in daylight. Just don’t expect Bill and Sookie to show up and you won’t be disappointed.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4856255/

Lastly, I offer a very fun completed tale with an extremely sexually frustrated vampire and a bad-ass new girl with an agenda called “Game On Baby” by Drizle. Edward is a player and he’s bored. He thinks he knows everything, can have anyone at anytime, but Bella is more than ready to prove him wrong. It’s a strange thing to watch these two volley back and forth, but you’ll have to read the whole story to find out who wins.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5626218/

With all the lemons these fics contain, there’s not much else I can offer you to help you quench that thirst. However, here’s something that might go along with them nicely.

"Pucker Up"

Ingredients
2 parts Sour Apple Pucker
1 part Schnapps, apple
3 parts 7-up
1 splash Lemon Juice

Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!

I hope my offerings will satiate your desire for more of the Cullens, at least to spare you from becoming another victim of the epic battle against stupid stories that should never be made into movies. Heed my warning and arm yourself with fiction that is worthy. Tweet (FanFicDealer), Message, or email (fanficdealer@gmail.com) if you want to talk shop.

The deal has been made. ;)

::TEAM ROSALIE:: Rosalie's 'Breaking Dawn' Motives Are 'Personal' Not 'Pro-Life,' Nikki Reed Says

As "Twilight" fans well know, there are several slightly controversial and uncomfortable scenes in "Breaking Dawn," the final book of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling series. Going into the last two films, the big questions on fans' minds seem to revolve around the infamous birthing and imprinting scenes.


One key participant in the birthing scene is Rosalie Hale, who becomes so obsessed with Bella having Edward's baby that she will stop at nothing to see her born — even if it means compromising Bella's life.

When Rosalie herself, Nikki Reed, stopped by to talk with MTV News about her upcoming indie film "Last Day of Summer," we asked what she thinks about her character's firm beliefs on that subject matter and how she'll tackle those difficult scenes in the films.

"Here's how I look at it: I try not to be super opinionated and vocal, because in Hollywood, that seems to only lead you in the wrong direction," Reed said. "I try to relate this particular case to Rosalie and not make it metaphorical or symbolic of anything else."

Reed said Rosalie's strong feelings toward the baby are tied to her prior life as a human and never having had the chance to be a mother herself.

"I think that Rosalie just always wanted to be a mom, and that's how I look at it," she said. "It has nothing to do with being pro-life or anything. I think it's about her want, her need to be a mother, and this is the only opportunity she's ever going to have, so she's willing to let Bella die so she can have that and fulfill that, and that's how I look at it. It's her own personal desires."

"Dawn" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg also weighed in on the infamous scene recently, telling us she plans to write it so everyone feels the pain of the experience. "I want to see the terror of the experience," Rosenberg said. "I want to have the experience of the fear and feel her pain. I want to feel every one's pain in this."

What do you think motivates Rosalie to fight for Bella's baby? Is it her want to have her own baby? Or is she genuinely scared or fearful for Bella? Voice you opinion in the comments!!

::Team Twilight:: Fan Fiction Friday

Pssst, need somethin’ to take the edge off? Feelin’ weary? I got just the thing. It’s rumored that Lab Tech Andi’s trippin’ on a sugar high from too much anniversary cake so she’s got some really sweet fics to dish out. Here’s what you need to know: go to the blue door behind the Love Shack, knock the “Wedding March” and the password this week is “Perrine Bruyere”. You’ll want to get there before she crashes and goes into a sugar-induced coma. Be Safe!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

With Alice and Jasper vacationing and everyone else getting the house ready for Bella and Edward’s Anniversary party, the lab had become a pretty quiet place. So, when Edward came softly knocking on the lab door in the middle of the week, I jumped a little at the sound.

“What a delight to have you drop by, Edward! What can we do for you?” I asked, stepping aside and gesturing him in.

“Andi, I know you and the authors are busy, so I don’t want to be a bother.” He peeked his head in the door and smiled a little to himself. I wondered what thoughts he was hearing that would make him smile like that.

“Oh Edward, you could never be a bother,” I assured him and walked back towards my desk.

“You know mine and Bella’s anniversary is on Friday. Well, I’ve been looking for a quiet place to work on a new composition that I’m writing for her. Would it be too distracting if I setup a keyboard and worked on it here?” he was smiling even wider to himself now so I could only imagine how loud the authors’ thoughts were about him hanging out here. I laughed a little at his expression.

“Actually, we’ve been quite productive here this week, so it would be wonderful to have you play for us in the lab.” I told him and smiled back. “When would you like to start?”

“I’ll bring the keyboard by later,” then he walked to the door. As he reached for the knob he turned, “Thanks Andi, this is such a big help. By the way, Esme wanted me to ask if it would be alright with you for the authors to attend the party on Friday. You know how she adores them.”

“They’ll love that,” I replied. “Please let her know, they’ll be there and thank you. We’ll see you tonight?”

“Yes, tonight,” he nodded and then was out the door softly closing it behind him.

Now, I was positive that Edward would have rather composed on his grand piano, but the amazingly hi-tech keyboard he walked in with later that evening was impressive and the music he made come out of it was even more so. One by one, I witnessed my authors melt a little as the notes swirled around the room and had to fight a little myself to keep from following suit. The music was a hypnotic, giving me strange visions of white satin, flowers, and twinkling lights on a dance floor.!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Maybe it was time to check the expiration dates on the chemicals in the lab. In any case, this week all my deals contain visions of weddings however, some are a little bittersweet.

My first offering is called “Now and Forever” by Hannah81. In this completed and wonderfully told tale, Bella returns to Seattle after 15 years of living in Phoenix and is soon reunited with her best childhood friend, Alice Cullen. Alice's brother, Edward, made her childhood completely miserable, but what will she think of him as an adult? Well, he’ll have 29 chapters to make it up to her and boy will he ever! There are even a few outtakes to look forward to.

http://www.twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=2877

Next, I have “My Brother's Best Friend” by jennlynnfs. Seven years have passed since Edward and Bella last saw each other. They grew up as children and even became good friends. Once they entered high school, Edward became distant and eventually severed all ties with her. Confused and hurt, Bella moved on with her life in Seattle. Through it all, Bella had her older brother Emmett to get past the estrangement. Now, with Edward's imminent return to Seattle to help out with his sister Alice's wedding, Bella can't help wondering what drove away her brother's best friend all those years ago. These characters here are engaging, funny and their tale is not just told from one point of view. It’s complete, at 23 chapters and two outtakes, so it won’t leave you hanging.

Third, I have “Hydraulic Level 5” by Gondolier. This story is not yet complete, but it will be soon. Bella gave her heart to Edward Cullen at the age of four and has loved him every day since. He asked her to marry him after she graduated high school and it was the happiest day of his life. But things are not always as they appear and all too quickly, they find themselves divorced. Seven years later, Edward Cullen has become a famous author of vampire novels, and Bella runs a thriving PR business in Port Angeles, WA and frequently engages in extreme sports with her friends. They’ve been avoiding each other for years, but the upcoming nuptials of Emmett and Rosalie will force them to have to deal with their past. This story is so complex and deep, it will keep you on the edge of your seat to find out how things turn out. Also, once complete, the author plans to compile all the chapters into a PDF document and is currently requesting pictures to illustrate the document. You have until the epilogue to submit and the details are in the author notes of the latest chapter.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4931075/1/Hydraulic_Level_5
http://www.twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=3777

Lastly, I give you “Written In The Stars” by EclipseoftheTwilightMoon. In this completed story Bella and Edward have been best friends since the third grade, but it isn’t until their senior year that she realizes she’s in love with him. However, when she tells him so, he wants to just stay friends. Eventually, Bella moves on to another guy, but when she comes back into Edward's life, he finally realizes he loves her too. This is their struggle to find themselves, save their friendship, and fight for what they want. There will be times you just want to strangle these two, but the journey of 44 chapters is very addicting.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4217715/1/Written_In_The_Stars

To keep everyone in the wedding mood, I recommend getting 6 of the most delicious cupcakes you can find and pair that with a “Beautiful Soul”.

3/4 glass Champagne
1 oz. Sour Apple Pucker
1 Cherry

Fill champagne flute 3/4 full with champagne. Add 1 oz of Apple Pucker. Garnish with a cherry.


While my authors and I recover from our sugar comas, I hope my stash will be enough to keep fic-withdrawl side effects at bay. Tweet (FanFicDealer), Message, or email (fanficdealer@gmail.com) if you want to talk shop.

The deal has been made. ;)

::TEAM TWILIGHT:: Limited Edition White Cover Versions of Twilight Series

::Team Stephenie:: ‘The Host’ Movie Writer/Director’s Other Sci-fi Project: I’m.mortal

Andrew Niccol is a name you might want to tuck away in your memory for future reference. He’s known for writing huge movie hits like The Truman Show and Gattaca (which he also directed). He’s also writing (with Stephenie Meyer’s help) and directing the movie The Host that will bring her best-selling Scifi/Romance to life on the big screen in 2011.

He is the perfect fit for The Host! But he’s also got another exciting project underway that is circulating quite a bit of talk. I’m.mortal has movie and entertainment blogs buzzing with casting rumors and announcements almost in the same way we do with The Twilight Saga. (but we’re a little more obsessive )

Big names like Amanda Seyfried, Justin Timberlake and Cillian Murphy who played the Scarecrow in Batman Begins are coming up as being attached to or finalizing negotiations for I’m.mortal, which Andrew Niccol also wrote and is directing.

Synopsis via IMDb.com: In the not-too-distant future the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. A poor young man who comes into a fortune of time, though too late to help his mother from dying. He ends up on the run from a corrupt police force known as ‘time keepers’.

I’m.mortal, like The Host, is slated for release in 2011, however, it is likely that I’m.mortal will make it to theaters earlier than The Host considering the hectic schedule Stephenie Meyer will continue to be under while producing Breaking Dawn. But seeing the latest project from Andrew Niccol beforehand will give us a great chance to get even more of a feel for his unique style!

Watch the TwilightMoms’ interview with Stephenie Meyer where she talks about The Host movie AND writing more to make it a series HERE.
