The Journal Entry Rating: Part I is PG, but Part II is PG-13 Contains drug references and some heavy making-out, but this is Edward and Bella in her bed, at night on V-Day. What do you expect? I wrote this for the Valentine's Day challenge at . It basically picks up after the Tyler Crowley van accident when Bella got out of the hospital.

About me:
I'm that twenty-something nerd that's gotten into a YA novel craze. Yes, it's true.
I'm not that interesting. Really. I'm not. I don't think so, anymore. That's why my fanfics are first on my info page. They're more interesting than I am. I'm a pretty bad LJ friend, honestly. I got for months without making updates, and when I do, they're extremely opinionated and piss people off. I may have been interesting a few years ago, when I was in my destructive, depressed emo/dominatrix phase (hence, the name), but now, I'm straight edge, I've ironed out a lot of my dangerous behaviors, and I'm contemplating starting a family and settling down and being normal. If you can't tell from some of my posts and fanfics, I used to be a train wreck a few years ago, but I've been through a few shrinks and gotten my shit together. For now.
I am a Twilight fan but not a fan of Stephenie Meyer. I can't put up with all her ego-driven drama bullshit. I think it's got a lot of potential for fanfic and I love the fanart. I've recently forayed into fanfiction in the Twilight universe, it's been a bit scary, but kinda fun. Fangirlism can be bad for you. I'm very private, but I do like to edit. I do have another LJ page, but I am keeping my fangirl self separated. It's difficult, I'd like for my regular writing friends to see what I do, but since this is fan-oriented, I can't. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in proofreading and editing, but be prepared for it.
My friending policy is this: if you find that I've friended you, don't freak out. I just find you interesting and I want to keep up with your public entries. It's up to you if you want to friend me back. I won't be offended if you don't add me back, just don't send me a rude note, please. If I've friended you and you post with little to do with Twilight, I'll probably unfriend you. Don't take it personally if I don't talk to you often. I'm just trying to keep this journal strictly Twilight-only.
I mainly do fluff fic and ship Edward/Bella, although I am not an Edward fan!whore. They're fictional characters, people. There's no reason to yell and fight over who's better. It's call respect for other people's opinions, kids.
I do like Jacob Black as a character, but I prefer to let Stephenie Meyer write him because I don't want to spoil him, just yet. I might write fanfics with him in it- later, but not just yet. Right now, I'm focusing on fluff fanfics with just Edward/Bella as if Edward never left in New Moon. Jacob is a deep character, his relationship with Bella isn't so light, so I can't really write him into fluff fics right now.
Rosalie Hale rocks my socks. I think Stephenie Meyer isn't giving her as much attention as she should. I don't think Rosalie is as shallow as SM claims she is, just because she's beautiful. I can't pick on Nikki Reed, who's been cast as Rosalie, because I've been in her situation- people gossiping about me behind my back because I'm not pretty enough to be the character I was cast in. When I saw somebody say that they wanted to see her raped in the movie of Eclipse, I shivered, and then was outraged. Only a pervert truly wishes to see a woman get raped just because she's not pleasing to the eye. I completely support Nikki Reed as Rosalie. I refuse to make fun of how she looks. She is my Rosalie.
I used to hate Mike Newton, but now, I like him. He's the guy that everybody overlooks, but deserves to be loved. I identified with him at certain phases of my life.
Thanks to a suggestion and a mysterious comment from Stephenie Meyer, I am a rabid Jacob/Angela shipper. I will absolutely burn my copies of the Twilight series in protest if Jacob doesn't imprint on Angela at least by the end of Breaking Dawn. There's been talk of Jacob imprinting on somebody close to Bella, and I think it'll be Angela Weber. It better be. I will write an angry hate letter campaign to SM if that doesn't happen.
I prefer to hang out in adult-oriented communities because they generally have older writers in them, that are more mature, who can act more mature and write better with more mature story lines with better grammar and punctuation and won't engage in idiotic fangirl flamewars. I hate people that flame. I also hate people who call Jacob Black a rapist. What Jake did wasn't considered a "rape" by any measures, so don't refer to it as that. I worked for my University's Housing Department, and I saw plenty of girls after they were raped. Rape is an act of violence, not an act of lust. Most of the fanfics I see with Jacob as a rapist are Jacob getting so overcome with lust that he attacks Bella. He's a protector. Please. No way. He'd never do that. Only kids and immature people have a view of rape like that. I'm an adult, so I'm more comfortable around other grown-up people. People who don't act like adults aren't good around me.
Feel free to note me or leave feedback on my fan fics. I love reviews!
Best fanmade video ever!
