The Charlie/Bella moment was sweet.

I loved the Jared/Kim part, and I like how you just gave Kim more character in that scene (where she wasn't even present) then most wolves got in canon. I think I'm gonna like brainiac!Kim.

Thank you for the Sam/Leah/Emily backstory. It was both way more entertaining than all those “let's listen to a Cullen drone on and on” chapters and quite informative of imprinting. Bravo. And I agree with Emily's theory.

That cliffhanger is mean!! I want to know what' going on!!!!!! I like Sam, I don't want him to be hurt.

Was a bit disappointed about the lack of Jacob in this chapter, but oh well, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

I sympathize with your sanity update: I have no idea why Meyer's editors damn them straight to hell, if they actually exist didn't scrap the Cullen chapters. In addition to boring the pants off of me, they were historically inaccurate. Rosalie's family was well off during the Depression because her father was a banker? Bitch please, he would have been one of the first ones to jump out a window. Carlisle didn't know what year he was born or died in? His father was clergy, if anyone knew what year it was it was someone from the church (I think Meyer was too lazy to whip out a calculator and do the math).

Anyway, great chapter. I'm really excited for Wednesday!

Carlisle didn't know what year he was born or died in?

Yeah, but for some reason Rosalie can remember EXACTLY what happened before she turned, and how she felt in every single detail. Fail.

This sort of makes me thankful that Meyer denied the wolves and the humans actual backstories, because she would have undoubtedly fucked it all up. YAY for fanon, 'cause it's so much cooler!!

[lsjcandy]

Yeah, totally true!

When people ask about my Twilight obssesion, I always say: "I'm actually obsessed with the fanfiction, the books disappoint me to no end."

[lulu_honey]

I'm not really obsessed with Twilight, I call it Fascination of the Fail. I stick around just to see how back it will get.

With other fandoms (BtVS, mostly) I read fanfic as a sort of companion. Canon was good, I just wanted to see what other people could do with it. With Twilight tho, there seems to an abundance of "fixing" things. It's not "this concept was wonderful, I wanted to see it in a different setting", it's more like "oh my god how did that psycho screw this up? Let's see if we can salvage anything." Know what I mean?

[lsjcandy]

Yep, know exactly what you mean, and I agree.
After Breaking Dawn, I desperately needed other options, other solutions, and fanfiction is perfect for that. Sadly, there are E/B fanfics who take over this fandom, just because everyone is so obsessed with Eddie Sparklepants.
Fortunately, there is TATS :)

There's a time and a place for AH fics, whatevs, but seriously, even if I could stomach Edward fics at all I still wouldn't read all that AH/AU/OOC junk that is consuming the fandom like Black Death. Edward is a vampixie, and all his hang-ups and attitudes stem from his vampixie-ism, so I don't see the point of human Edward. No one wants to write about vamp!Edward and vamp!Bella anymore because the end of BD is it for them. How many stories about frolicking in meadows with their Mary Sue mutant spawn child can be written? Even the hardcore fans are bored.

One of the main components of J/B as a fictional couple is that they would have been together if there were no monsters and magic, so AH/AU is just begging to be written.

But yeah, totally too much Eddie in the fandom. /endrant

[lsjcandy]

Yeah, that's just me not liking AH, but I think I'd be bored if I was an E/B fan. The books are horribly bad and I almost feel sorry for the E/B fans.

And I think pretty much every character *including Bella* wouldn't be the same if everyone was human. But that's just my opinion.

I loved the Jared/Kim part, and I like how you just gave Kim more character in that scene (where she wasn't even present) then most wolves got in canon. I think I'm gonna like brainiac!Kim.

Side characters are neat. Mostly because Meyer hasn't had a chance to ruin them. Kim always struck me as... well, having the potential to be cute. Like Jared. (Though I'm always a bit mean to him -- he's a bit of a dip in my mind.) Of course, we only got, like, five paragraphs on her. So you sort of have to fill in the blanks.

It was both way more entertaining than all those “let's listen to a Cullen drone on and on” chapters and quite informative of imprinting.

Sweeeeeeeeet. I was hoping that the exposition would at least feel useful, or not horrifyingly boring if nothing else.

Was a bit disappointed about the lack of Jacob in this chapter, but oh well, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Good point about the Cullen history bullshit. I think Meyer was too lazy to do anything remotely like research. (And the mystery of the editors will continue.)

Glad you like :) Wednesday comes closer... eep!
