What exactly is a ‘non-canon pairing’? A non-canon paring is any pairing that differs from ‘canon’, or the way the original author wrote the book. BellaxJacob, AlicexEmmett and CharliexBilly are all examples of Twilight non-canon pairings. Part of the appeal, at least for me, lies in the forbidden. The characters...
read moreTo Twi or not to Twi… That’s the real question. With ‘Vampire Fever’ taking, not just the nation, but the entire world by storm, where do you call it quits? Do you just stick with Twilight go no further? Do you let it suck you in completely and read every book of every series you can get your hands...
read moreThe Fandom Gives Back It amazes me how, in a fandom rife with drama, we can pull together and do something so amazing- raising money to fight childhood cancer via Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. The first round of TFGB raised over $87,000 in just seven days. The second round – TFGB: Eclipse – has just...
read moreAlternate universe and all-human fan fiction would seemingly have little in common with canon fan fiction. But, if you read enough of it, you tend to notice certain trends – certain characteristics that even the most OOC Edward’s still possess. For example, in hunterhunting’s ‘Clipped Wings and Inked Armor’, on the...
read moreToday I want to start a discussion of sorts. The other day, I had my iPod on shuffle and Kings of Leon ‘Closer’ came on. Those of you who read my fics may know that that song has been the inspiration for many dirty moments in my fic library. It made me realize how much I often rely on music for inspiration. So...
read moreThis week I wanted to write about something that BellaMarie and I talk about frequently- chapter and fic length. It also got me wondering about a few other things, but we’ll get to those in a minute. Now, me personally, I like a nice long chapter or one-shot. 10,000 words of one of my favorites makes me squee like a fangirl...
read moreNormally on Fan Fic Friday, I try to feature two or three different stories. This week, I’m still reccing two stories, but they have the same author- MuffNbutter. The first of the two fics is the one that I fell in love with first. It’s called ‘My Beloved Window‘. ‘My Beloved Window’ is a...
read moreCan someone please tell me why all the good books these days seem to fall into the Young Adult section? Seriously. In the past eighteen months or so, I’ve read eight new series (Twilight, Southern Vampire Mysteries, Vampire Diaries, Vampire Academy, Black Dagger Brotherhood, Mortal Instruments, House of Night, Blue...
read moreThere are so many different genres in fiction, and it seems that there twice as many in fan fiction. Or maybe we just label them differently. For instance, the topic of my blog today, fluff. What makes fluff so appealing to read? I think, for me at least, it’s the eternal happy ending. You know that true love will...
read moreOK, maybe not everyone else, but there are some glaring differences between the Twilight fandom and, for example, the Harry Potter fandom. For the purposes of this blog, I’m going to try to stick mostly to the differences in the actual fics themselves. I’m also going to compare mainly to Harry Potter, because...
read moreI thought that for this week’s State of the Fandom, I’d give a tutorial on navigating the Dungeon at MVF. Fanfiction is my passion- it has been ever since I discovered Harry Potter fanfic four years ago. I’m a prebeta at a Harry Potter site and between the three sites I’ve worked on (The Quidditch...
