I've never been a fan of the Sookie turning stories - the one Meg2 wrote had a semblance of sense to it, because all Vamp Sookie could think of was ending her existence - though Eric was always far too nice.

I do like AllHailAugust's story, but it's far too well written and brings out my green-eyed-monster *blush* I think I started reviewing it early on, but then she took a break and I didn't go back because I got swamped with other stuff. I shall have to return, and just accept that there are ppl out there who are vastly superior to me ;o)

Having said all this - I love the idea of frolicking in the forest eating bears... where do I sign up? :oD

Great Chapter! Update Soon!

I'm not a fan of turning stories either - it's not usually written with real ideas of what would happen. Sookie rarely gets hurt, for example. If you're going to go against the character's wants, at least don't pull your punches.

She is good - I think I've threatened to go to her house and squee at her. I don't have her talent either - isn't it terribly unfair? :D I'm proud to say I was her first reviewer for "Welcome Home" - which was brilliant.

Lol - that's born of me seeing the ending of Twilight Eclipse on one of my movie channels. Oh, Mr. Minty's snarky commentary means I have to find time to watch it with him. I did so enjoy his snark through the first Twilight movie. And they *were* frolicking. Lol. Nothing happier than if you're dead. :D

Here's your teaser, madame:

"Now, leading up to the rape, Sookie has time to mentally prepare herself for badness."

You can't tease me with rape and leave me hanging! What kind of woman are you? Don't you know all us fanfic'ers get a serious boner for Sookie rape? It's what we live for!

*stomps off in a huff*

P.s. Now that I've stalked AllHailAugustus and realise she's a professional, I feel considerably less rubbish next to her shining light of amazingness.

Lol - the cruel kind. Fanficers do so love Sookie rape scenario. Love it - except when it's actually treated like rape would be, and it seems that Sookie doesn't want to bone Eric instantly. :D Plus, the bitch needs to be punished somehow for not falling into line.

Yeah - she came into the fandom with some advantages - which I will happily enjoy. :D

Well, you know I've read them. I was always a bit disappointed with them all until I read Allhailaugustus'. I'm pretty sure she's in English literature and writing courses, because she's spoken of being critiqued at university ( ... )

Yay thanks! I was super excited when I saw you’d posted this, it totally lives up to all my expectations. As promised it’s not pretty, but it does make for very interesting reading, and answer a lot of questions. Bwaahaha, this is the second time you’ve agreed to write about something I’m interested in - so you’d better hope I don’t come up with any more intriguing questions :D ( ... )

Lol - now any anon asks a question, I'll think it's you. :D This was super quick though - so much quicker than fic - and it gets it out of my head, and not swirling around in there. :D ( ... )

Well I would stop being a creepy anonymous internet stalker, but being able to leave signed comments isn't enough incentive to get an LJ account. I hate signing up to things.

It's really sad that Eric's that lonely that, despite all his intelligence and experience, he's managed to delude himself so badly about what would happen if he turned Sookie. He certainly wouldn't choose to be Appius' eternal companion, and yet he thinks Sookie would choose to be with him. Obviously Eric wouldn't be as bad as Appius as a maker, but he wouldn't be all that different, either, I don't think.

Good point about the fangbangers - I hadn't really thought about the fact that vampires don't have the opportunity to experience the better side of humanity. Sookie's about Eric's only example, and he thinks she's special anyway - which she is, but perhaps not *quite* as rare as Eric thinks.

Lol - I'm with you. I hate signing up for things. Which is why I put on anonymous commenting - for people to say what they like without hassle. Even people who tell me off get published. :D Plus, really, the whole "anon" thing is overblown - because peppermintyrose is not my real name either. It just shows consistency that others can link up ( ... )

Certainly I don’t think Eric would care too much if Sookie lost her telepathy, since that’s not why he’d be turning her. Not only that, Sookie would be valuable to him regardless of her telepathy, because of the way her mind works. Anyone would be happy to have her as their vampire child ( ... )

I think though that that would give Sookie a moments pause - of would he really love me. And I suspect that using your mind the way Sookie does would be something that would get her into trouble. Look at with Claude - Pam thinks she's stupid to have him there, but it turned out well, because Sookie has protection. So I think the way her mind works would be something punished, until she stops thinking outside the box. It's often counter-intuitive to self preservation (I hear Abe Simpson saying "That's a paddlin'" here ( ... )

So you think that even after everything, Sookie still has lingering doubts about whether Eric wants her for more than just her telepathy? That's sad, but you could be right. Poor Sookie.

Lol, Eric's spontaneous combustion due to uncontrollable rage - hilarious mental picture.

Ugh, the thing that I hate most about Twilight - even more than all the whining - is when Edward makes a perfect omelette for Bella in the last book. It was really the last straw. It's not enough that he's unbelievably handsome, a genius, listens to classical music, is overly sensitive and romantic, and insanely rich - he can also cook a mean omelette, despite not having eaten in 100 years. I almost threw up all over the page. It's just as well she left out the sex, or it would have been like a bad SVM fanfic. I can just imagine the rhapsodising over Edward's disproportionate manhood, and how despite being a virgin (if I remember correctly), he has natural skills that would probably put Eric to shame. Oops, major rant just slipped out...

I think the problem is that she'll never really be able to distinguish it for sure until it becomes unavailable. Sookie is right to be cautious with Eric the manipulator - at the bottom of it all, he may not have totally pure intentions. Once you manipulate someone then they never totally trust you.

Lol - I giggled writing it - and it's totally doable. He has such a fiery temper. :D

I didn't make it past the meadow scene in the first book. It was so boring. I went and read some James Herbert to clean my brain, and felt a bit better. I do heartily agree with the Oatmeal's take on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4uuGvmAxTI

And of course it would be like bad SVM fanfic. Now that I've read part of Twilight, I can see where the "winning" skills come from. And oh dude - that peen can be as long as Sookie's arm, and she's not even slightly scared that it might be like fisting herself. :D ( ... )

The werewolves.

Not the individuals, like Jacob etc, but just the fact that they're huge wolves. It's awesome. So much better than those creepy overly hairy men with long fingernails you get in some werewolf stories.

Am I going to read Twilight again so I can appreciate the werewolves? No.

peppermintyrose April 10 2011, 19:56:25 UTC
Aww - yeah - the wolves is one of the reasons watching Eclipse won't be so bad. Mr. Minty is going to give me a running commentary too - I discussed it after this post.

He ships Charlie and Bella. :D

Lol, you 2 have such a twisted sense of humour.

peppermintyrose April 10 2011, 20:57:50 UTC
Indeed. :D

He told me last movie (I made him watch because he's a Twihard in his soul) that Charlie and Bella should stop dancing around it and fuck. :D

I almost spat my coffee on him. :D
