Slaughtering the Sacred Cow

I think I’m just going to keep on with the topic of Twilight. A few reasons for that. First, because it really does seem that it’s what people want to read about, but also because it’s just so easy to find things to discuss about it. Being the pop culture phenomenon of the day, it’s got so many possibilities...

Wicked Wednesday…on Thursday

Before I go any further, I’m going to remind you this feature is NC-17. So make sure you’re 18 before reading. Hello there, WW readers, it’s me again, SusanAshlea, the one who can’t write lemons. But can I? The last time I spoke with you, I discussed my frustrations over my inability to write the lemons.  I relayed...

Coming together…Giving Back

   I haven’t been a part of many fandoms.  Sure, I’ve followed certain actors and signed up on fan forums  in the past, but until I discovered Twilight, I never considered myself part of a community.  Many people that I run into scoff at my association with the Twilight fandom.  They think it is a bunch of girls...

WW postponement

Hey there kiddos, SusanAshlea here. Today was my day to post Wicked Wednesday, and I didn’t realize it was actually Wednesday until about an hour ago. I walked around all day thinking it was Tuesday, checking the blog and wondering “who’s day is it to post?” Yup, that’s me. I have the entire article...

Stereotypes? Sexism? Really?

So here’s a new one. The Twilight Saga is full of stereotypes and sexism. Yeah, I guess it’s not really new, is it? Ever since I read the series in 2008, I’ve been reading discussions, debates, even arguments that the series perpetuates stereotypes – like a female doing all the cooking – and it is...

State of the Fandom

So, in light of recent events, I’m keeping this week’s ‘State of the Fandom’ a little bit on the fluffy side.  I thought, ‘Hmm, what can I write about that will result in no one getting upset,” and came to the conclusion that it’s time to interview Edward.  So, without further ado, the...

Why We Validate

Why we validate… by SusanAshlea I have always loved writing, but I have never considered myself a writer.  Sure, I wrote short stories in high school, and I got a kick out of writing satirical essays, but that was ages ago.  I graduated from high school in 1996 and I think the last short story I wrote was when I was a freshman...

Gone Missing

I love a good story. I especially love a good and completed story so today I thought I would talk about the pain that sprouts from starting a fic that goes unfinished or gets pulled without warning. Before I go any further I just want to make a couple of things plain. I understand that all of the fan fic authors out there have a...

It’s a Writer’s World

I’m a non-writer in a writer’s world. A year ago, I didn’t know what fanfiction was. Hell, I didn’t even know fanfiction existed. I was so pleasantly surprised when I found all the good stories about Twilight that were out there, especially since it meant I could continue my obsession about the saga, but I...

Wicked Wednesday

So wow… What an interesting weekend. Drama, drama, drama. So I let it be my inspiration this week and went back to the stories I read when I first found the Twilight fandom… before all the drama. I dove into my favorites looking for the completed fics that turned me into a Twi-Hard. So if you are under 18 go find your...
