Things to keep in mind: I read spoilers (see my thought back then here and here). I knew about human!Bella being pregnant with half-vamp!Renesmee Carlie, the book being separated into three parts with second being Jacob POV, and Jacob imprinting on Nessie…

I thought I was going to be a hater, it sounded such badfic…but surprisingly it turned out a

i finally finished reading this book, and you have an awesome review! i loved it. :D

calling it "the Gathering of Allies™" is awesome!! :D

I'm glad to see even one more person added to the "I liked it" list, it's nice with all the practically vitriolic hate going around. Seriously, it wasn't some Classic, just enjoy it already and stop taking it so seriously...

I love the Gathering of Allies™ so much, no matter what the fandom. It is one of my favorite, I don't know, plot devices(?), it deserves a id/title (and a tag).

heheheh .... love the icon! :D

but yeah, Seriously, it wasn't some Classic, just enjoy it already and stop taking it so seriously...

exactly!! i don't get the hate either.

(why does this remind me of moments in the Supernatural fandom? *sigh*)

and yes, "Gathering of Allies™" is an awesome moniker. :D

I adore Jasper so... :P

Thank you and I agree! Too much hate, everyone needs to chillax as they say.

...Because like in Supernatural fandom, I think a lot of people think they have a say in where the story tellers decide to take the story, expecting them to keep up with and meet all of there particular fan-expectations for the story and characters. At least subconsciously I think they do...And sure, TPTB may listen, but its their story, we should be glad to hear/read/see it. And it is just a story.

WOO for awesome monikers!

exactly. and in this case, it's Meyer's sandbox, she sets the rules. and you're right, the fans think they can tell the authors what to write.

i wrote a Supernatural AU where i did... something (which made it AU), and in one of the fics, i got a comment saying something to the effect of "cool idea, but *I* wouldn't do it that way"... i SO wanted to tell her to write her own then.
