The Orange Rising Star Award

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 11:38 PM

 "The Orange Rising Star Award recognises five international actors and actresses who have demonstrated exceptional talent and have begun to capture the imagination of the public as a star in the making." -BAFTA awards site

Kristen Stewart is nominated to the Orange Rising Stard Award. I don´t think she should win for her role as Bella, but it sure has given her recognition and maybe the chance for bigger and better things.

Fan Fiction defined

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 7:09 PM

It seems Merriam-Webster just added the phrase "fan fiction" to the dictionary!  Took them long enough.

Here's their definition:

Main Entry: fan fiction

Function: noun

Date: 1944

: stories involving popular fictional characters that are written by fans and often posted on the Internet —called also fan fic.

I read about this at the Organization for Transformative Works, here:

 

transformativeworks.org/fan-fiction-added-merriam-webster

 

That being said, are any of you involved with Archive of Our Own? 

The archive is a project built to host work from multiple fandoms.  Their site says it's to be a safe place to host fan fic and other transformative works.  I stumbled upon it because I'm a Buffy fan too, and they are well represented in the archive.  I just check out Twilight and there are only 50 works listed so far.  There is a waiting list for space though, as they are building the site as we speak.  Anyone know the lowdown on this?  On the waiting list, or a member perhaps?

The archive is here:

archiveofourown.org/

But I'm putting some of their FAQ's under the cut...in the comments section..

The Lovely Reader

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 6:09 PM

After having two very disasterously sucktastic days, I opened my email to find a PM from a reader who wanted to drop my story from her fav's. I am VERY slow to update (a pet peeve of many of you...yes, I know) so she didn't want my story taking up space when it wasn't really active at the moment.

So what makes this reader so lovely? She was so very nice about lowering the boom on me. She didn't make demands or question my commitment to my readers. She was classy, not trashy. And while it unfortunately won't make me write any faster (I got MUCH bigger priority's right now) it felt REALLY good to know that there are still decent, fair minded people in the fandom.

Now share a fandom/FF moment or encounter that has taken you to your happy place.

And here's a little yummy to add to the party. Come on get happy!

Book Towns

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 5:34 PM

Rangers, feel free to delete this if it's not on-topic enough.

The people in Forks have gone from living in a virtually-unknown logging town to a tourist phenomenon. There's even been a film made about them since Twilight came out.

So, have any of the towns/cities (big or small) that you guys live in been the focal point of any books?

Recently, I learned that The Great Gatsby was written about my town-- go figure!

What Twisites Do You Frequent?

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 4:30 PM

I've recently been branching out....to my job's and life's dismay (this Twilight and FF obsession is very time consuming you know!).

I want to know what Twisites you visit (besides ADF of course!!!). And tell me why you go there.

Maybe I'm missing out, aha!

Man Candy Bribery:

 

OH as for me:

ADF! - daily - for funniez and important shit
Twilighted Forum and Fics (mostly for my thread and a few others) - daily to talk to a few ladies
FF - daily - cause I read and post my fics


Fictionators - when I receive an update - for recs
TLYDF - when I receive an update  - for recs
I've recently started looking at Edwardville... not sure what to make of it yet.

OH and just today, I learned about mylifeistwilight.com. Freaking HILARIOUS. I will certainly visit it often.

/sad, obsessed geek :(

Rob at The Lovely Bones Premiere?

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 2:22 PM

The Lovely Bones actress Saoirse Ronan (omfg, I LOVE that name) mentions Twilight and Robert Pattinson at the premiere for her new film, The Lovely Bones. Apparently, he snuck in to see the movie!

 

 

When reading a novel, most of us develop our own images of its characters based upon our interpretation the text. It must have been a bit surreal for you, having already played Susie, to picture yourself within the context of the book.

SR: Yeah, it’s weird. I really sympathize with the likes of Kristen Stewart, who’s playing Bella in Twilight. I think teenagers can make their points more well known than adults, and they feel quite strongly about things — [especially] with a book like Twilight, which I read and loved and that everyone just was sort of obsessed with. And if anyone has their own image of what Bella should be like and then they see Kristen, everything is blamed on her, you know? Luckily, that hasn’t happened for me, but because I’ve done about four movies now that have been based on books, I can see how people would be like that — and even how I would be like that. But I wouldn’t blame the actor or anything. I felt a little bit of pressure, not only because [The Lovely Bones] was a book but because the whole movie was, in a way, on my shoulders. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When I interviewed Kristen for New Moon, I was struck by how protective she was about her character.

SR: Yeah, it doesn’t seem to her like she’s making a movie that has about three sequels and is based on a book and all the teenagers are going to see it. It seems to her that this is a very serious role that’s important to her, and I respect her for that. I felt the same way when I did Atonement and people would come up to me and say, “God, that was an awful child that you played. She was such a bitch.”

People really said that to you?!?

SR: Yeah! People said that to me ... so I can see why Kristen would feel defensive about her character.

Speaking of Twilight, I heard that Robert Pattinson snuck into the Lovely Bones premiere.

SR: Yeah, I heard that when I was at the after-party. I didn’t see him, though.

You figure he’d at least have the courtesy to say hello.

SR: [Laughs] Actually, someone said that to me: “God, you think he’d come up and tell you how awesome you were.” And I was like, eh, it doesn’t make a difference. It’s okay. I can see why he would just want to sneak in. I mean obviously, if he snuck in and didn’t do the whole red carpet, then he just wanted to see the movie, which is great. He didn’t want to do the whole, “Oh look, Robert Pattinson’s here!” He seems like a really nice guy, though.

I guess it was considerate of him to not want to steal the spotlight.

SR: Exactly, yeah. Because he would have. [Laughs]

'Spider-Man' reboot: Who should play Peter Parker?

As anyone who reads The Daily Bugle knows by now, Tobey Maguire will not be back for Spider-Man 4. Neither will Sam Raimi, the director who kick-started the superhero saga back in 2002. And since Sony, the studio behind the Web-slinger franchise, has no intention of  letting their cash cow dry up, it’s currently in the process of rebooting Spidey in a younger, more contemporary direction with a (presumably) younger, less-expensive actor as Peter Parker.

So we’re wondering, which of Hollywood’s hot teens and twentysomethings should be considered to don the Spidey suit? Here are a few possibilities. Afterwards, let us know who your candidates are.

Zac Efron Age: 22 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: He’s already proven that he can put teenage butts in seats thanks to High School Musical, and he ’s familiar with bizarre, supernatural bodily transformations thanks to 17 Again. He can sing, he can dance, he can smolder and brood (but not too threateningly, mind you). Heck, he can even convincingly shoot hoops! What can’t this guy do? Compared to belting out pop songs in the cafeteria, swinging from a web and tangling with Green Goblin should be a cakewalk.

Robert Pattinson Age: 23 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: Okay, he’s British, pasty, and he’s got a pretty busy schedule, what with all these Twilight movies you may have heard about. But if I were a Sony bean counter, I’d be stuffing the ballot box for this guy. After all, this could be the ultimate parasite blockbuster. Think about it: First, you cast Kristen Stewart as Mary Jane Watson, then you cast Taylor Lautner as Harry Osborn (i.e., James Franco’s role), then boom!…just sit back and watch the greenbacks pile up. If I ran Sony and wanted to retire to a private island, this would be my choice.

Daniel Radcliffe Age: 20 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: Because he’s about to have a whole lot of time on his hands. With the Potter films finally kaput, Radcliffe no doubt wants to show folks he’s more than just Hogwarts’ resident boy wizard — he’s a serious actor. What better way than to play a character whose great power brings great responsibility? Plus, we love the idea of Michael Gambon as a Dumbledore-ish Uncle Ben.

Shia LaBeouf Age: 23 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: First of all, he seems like the kind of guy who might actually read comic books. That’s a plus. Second, he won’t freak out when this thing blows up and becomes a monster hit since he’s already a franchise veteran (Transformers, Indiana Jones). Third, unlike a lot of teen-steam heartthrobs, he doesn’t seem like…well, a wuss. There, I said it. This can’t be emphasized enough. Please, if you insist on casting a new Peter Parker, do not cast a wuss.

Jaden Smith Age: 11 Why our Spidey sense is tingling: The star of the new Karate Kid’s dad, Will Smith, has made a ton of money for Sony over the years. So I’m guessing all he’d have to do is have pops pick up the phone and dial Amy Pascal’s digits and this things a done deal. Actually, the kid’s a good actor, too. But the Kryptonite-like power of nepotism is never to be underestimated.

Okay, now tell us who you want to see as Peter Parker…

Better Late Than Never

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 12:38 PM

So, in the world of fanfiction, the possibilities are endless. There is so much to choose from!!! And sometimes, we pick up a story after everyone has spent months raving about it. For me, it's this one:

 

A LITANY AT DUSK

 

I know, I know. WTF have you been thinking by not reading this, Pixie? Well.... that's for another day. 

 

Tell me Campers, which fic's party were YOU late to? Something everyone raved and raved about but you just couldn't be bothered with at the time.

for your time, have some candy:

WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE THAT?

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 11:55 AM

Why do all the twilight male vamps look soooo much hotter In other movies. It sucks. When I see robward with all that damn stupid looking lipstick and caked up powder face like a fucking 50's movie siren it just pisses me off and I wish I could have had the opportunity to work on those movies and straighten there arsses out. I mean they left other parts of the books out, so why the literal red lips thing? REALLY?  I thought of this when I saw the trailer of that Jackson R. movie below. He looks so much better in that. I mean really if you saw these dude 's looking like this in RL would you be like **wow what insanely beautiful humans** , noooo you would more likely be saying wow it must gay halloween day and I didn't know. Copy of Robert Pattinson 39 by devil_newyork1809.now this rob is insanely beautiful!!

Smack

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 10:26 AM

So today I went to college...

And got slapped 5 times. Why, you may ask. Because my fellow ficsters today was Smack a Twilight Fan Day. Yup. Its all over Facebook.  

Also someone shoved a snowball down my top in the name of Smack a Twilight Fan blaaah. Which I pretty much exploded at that point.

Did anyone else get slapped? Or is this just in the UK?

How Are you Furthering Your Writing Skills?

Tuesday January 12, 2010 at 10:19 AM

I've recently begun writing my first fic including our sweet Bella and cocky Edward (sorry, I know it's been done before, many, many times, but I'm a sucker for those set ups)...anyway, I do take my writing very seriously and have enjoyed writing since my middle school years, but I'm currently at a community college education status. 

I just purchased a book from amazon called "How To Write a Damn Good Novel: A Step-By-Step Guide to Dramatic Storytelling" by James N. Frey.

Has anyone heard of this book?  It had really great reviews.  Also, will you please share any other books out there you feel might help improve writing skills?  Also, please feel free to share any courses you've taken and what you learned from it.   

I've read a ton on here about what not to write about (and I love reading it!) but thought it may be helpful to hear some good pointers on how we can all improve our writing.  What grabbed you to keep reading a good fic? 

For the love of Twilight of course! 

Thank ya!

Fic Love

 I want to know what crazy stuff you've done for a fic.

Me, I bought Chucks. Red Chucks.


I was fangirling The Teenage Angst Brigade by jandco like crazy. I'd already been meaning to buy some Chucks, and as soon as I read that Edward wore red ones, I hoped on zappos.com and bought them. Just like that.

Have you ever bought something just because it was in a fic? Do you own some item that reminds you of a fic every time you see it?

Now's your time to admit your obsession! Whatcha got?
