When I am writing my fanfic I usually prefer silence, but I noticed that sometimes I am more creative when I have music playing, specifically movie soundtrack scores. I can't listen to music with lyrics though, that is too distracting. Depending on what I am writing about, movie scores can really help place me in the right mood I need to be in and the words will just flow. Sometimes I even loop the same track. Does anyone else do this?

Post some of your favorite movie soundtrack score excerpts!

It's been a traumatic week for me....Profmom72 just about freaking killed me (it's a good thing I love her or I'd never beta for her again)...and I am needing some Emmett love.

So - here's the challenge:

- tell me your fave Em's in FF...no oafs, no dumb jocks.  I want smart, sexy, funny Hmonster4 worthy Em...I've already re-read If It's The Beaches...which will give you a level set.

So come on - gimme some rec's

Meanwhile...I'll be off dreaming of my vs of Emmett :)

So today I was talking to some friends on Skype, and one of them gave me a link. Which is this : Ooh click me! Anyways, it's about a school in Texas suspending a child, four years old, for his hairstyle. I find this unbelievable, honestly. 

But anyhow, to my main point. After I read that, I had just clicked the ADF page which turned my thoughts to Twilight and I started thinking about the hairstyles of our characters.

Think about it. Edward with that kind of scene/emo style of hair. He could so own the hair flip.

Bella with Alice's kind of hair.

Rosalie with short, SHORT, hair.

To my point though, it'd be really hard to imagine them with that. Have you ever thought of that? Like stuff like that? :P (If anyone has a picture with Edward with scene/emo hair, I will love you forever. :))

Have y'all read this juicy, twisted little piece by Jandco?

playing: wtvoc, jandco, ezrocksangel, pulsepoint, laviepastiche, hmonster4, elleCC, jennyfuckingfly, emibella and anyone else who thinks they've got the stuff.

be creative, but yo.  not everyone's seen 8 1/2.

and anyone can play!  go go go go go

eta: a drabble is like, a hundred words or so.  in this case.... off the toppa yer head.  don't spend a lotta time on it.

Most of the interviews he does, the interviewers ask generic, repetitive questions.
So, if you could interview Rob, what question(s) would you ask him? 

Come on, there's so much you could say to this guy! :

So I found this and thought it was hilarious. I hope the linking worked. Does he make the glasses or the glasses make him?

It's that time, Campers!

We will play a game.  All of us. 

Kill, Marry, Make Out.

Meet the Players:

Emmett McCarty:

Edward Cullen:

Robert Pattinson:

The rules:

You have to pick one of these three for each.  Kill.  Marry.  Make Out.  And if you're feeling generous, tell us your reasoning.

Go!

 other half edit: jimmy and i have a bet going as to who you guys will pick for this.  it's one of the few things we disagree on.  that, and that she's obvs. wrong about rob being hotter than the boreanaz.

Rob and Katy Perry

Rob Pattinson and Katy Perry were party pals last night, enjoying a night of karaoke at Dimples Supper Club for a mutual friend’s birthday.

RadarOnline.com reports that the stars were spied close in conversation, at one point touching foreheads and giggling.

While Katy — who recently introduced boyfriend Russell Brand to her parents — took to the stage to belt out a karaoke number, the New Moon star stayed low key sipping whiskey and cokes, and taking numerous cigarette breaks.

Has anyone read Great Vexations by angstgoddess?  I read it this weekend and can't stop thinking about it.  I have opposing theories about Edward and Jasper, one where Edward is an insensitive jerk and the other where he is a bit more complicated.  I'd love to know what other people thought of the story and their theories about the characters. 

I will put my thoughts about the story in a seperate comment post (or two) because there will be a lot of spoilers and I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't read it. 

Here is the summary:

GREAT VEXATIONS:  Oneshot-SLASH: Jasper is brought home to live with the Cullens in hopes of providing lonely orphan Edward a friend. As they come of age, Jasper struggles with attachments, unrequited lust, and hostility in the wake of being left behind. E/J. Rated M

Blurb on the antihero (thanks Wiki)

"In the postmodern era, the traditional "knight in shining armor" type has given way to a "grittier" protagonist. The brooding vigilante or "noble criminal" archetype (ex: Batman) is slowly becoming part of the popular conception of heroic valor- when once they would have been vilified."

I know vampires were once vilified. And now....

Anyway.

I think Edward is an antihero in a lot of ways. He's got that Batman thing going on- yeah, I'm a good guy now, but I really wish I could rip some people's jugulars out.

Do you agree? Disagree? Is Edward really just a misunderstood flower?

Also, show me your favorite antiheroes.

K.  I will admit that this was a cover for me to be able to talk a little bit about me reading "A Christmas Carol" out loud and discussing it with my children for school and me loving the classics all the more!

SO.  Have you EVER read the TWILIGHT saga out loud to anyone?

We are big readers here in this family and so I can say YES.  I read the ENIRE saga to my husband.  I am HIS "voice of Bella".

Yep, I guess this is the trailer some of us have been waiting for. 

I think it might be a hot movie. And I'm gonna be there supporting MulletStew! 

1st person? 3rd?

What about POV?  One two?  Main characters only?

There is an awful lot of 1st person fail in this fandom and honestly I am not sure I can read too much more written in 1st person without it being completely fresh and not stereotypical. 

Opinions?  Flames?  Please know that I am NOT talking about any one here who writes in 1st person.  I am trying to learn and well, at least I know what NOT to do.
