[BellaAndEdward] Fic of the day -- Feb 22

 

this was one of the first stories I read about a year ago, so I don't remember much about it, other than I'm pretty sure I liked it.  I looked through my list of stories I've read that are rated T and there just wasn't many on there that I felt were well written which is my most of my recommendations are rated M.


Don't Let Me Go          -- by bella book worm
Bella is invisible. Until Edward Masen, school player, notices her. But she doesn't know that Edward bet his friends he can get her to sleep with him in 1 month. What happens when Edward falls for her? What happens when she finds out that she was a bet?

[BellaAndEdward] Re: Fic of the day -- Feb 21

 

quick update. I have discovered that the author is in the process of putting the story up at Twilighted and has a few chapters up at The Writer's Coffee Shop Library... with the following slightly different summary and rating warning.  (I also realize I've suggested several rated M stories lately, I'll send out a rated T suggestion soon.)

Summer Nights

Bella Swan moves to Chicago with her son, Eli, and her best friend, Jacob.  She soon meets Edward Cullen, who has recently come off of active duty after serving three years in Iraq as a USMC Devil Doc and is now a surgeon at Northwestern.  But as Edward and Bella become closer, things get complicated as someone does everything in their power to destroy the life they've started to build together.  Now they have to stay strong to keep their relationship alive and most importantly keep themselves, as well as Eli, safe.

WARNING:  Rated NC-17 for lots of adult language, adult themes, violence, and plenty of explicit sex scenes.

Today I am recommending a story that I haven't read yet.  Earlier I had suggested a story called "Near You Always" by ebalways and while going through her story, found that she had reccommended this story and the official summary makes it sound "ok" but her description (which is posted below) makes it sound even better in my opinion...

Summer Nights
Bella Swan moves to Chicago with her son and Jacob Black. She then meets Edward Cullen and falls in love. But someone doesn't want Bella and Edward to be together... Rated MA for Lemons, language, etc. All human, typical pairings. Occasional OOC
complete - Rated: M - Angst/Romance
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5215869/1/Summer_Nights


 

ebalways describes the story like this:
"Edward is a Navy guy, and was a Devil Doc in the Marines. He's tatted, strong, and totally in love with Bella and her son. Bella is a pretty tough single mom and the mystery in the story is well written."

[BellaAndEdward] Robert Pattinson Tames his Tousled Locks: Love It or Hate It?

 

Robert Pattinson Tames his Tousled Locks: Love It or Hate It?

David Fisher/Rex USA; Jon Furniss/WireImage
When Robert Pattinson hit the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards last night in a custom made Gucci tuxedo, gone were his famously sexy tousled locks. Instead, his usually unruly head of hair was smoothed out into a more award show-ready look. It could have been due to the London rain, but what if Rob is planning to give up his famous bed head for a more tamed look? We're sure we will grow to love it just as much, but still…we may always love the messy look best. Tell us: What do you think of Rob's tamed locks? Do you love it or hate it? Vote!
What's Rob's best hair?

[BellaAndEdward] Anna Kendrick, Carey Mulligan shine on the BAFTAs red carpet

Anna Kendrick, Carey Mulligan shine on the BAFTAs red carpet

Newly minted fashion darlings Carey Mulligan and Anna Kendrick ruled the red carpet at the BAFTA awards tonight, which air in the United States on BBC America at 8 p.m. Eastern. Kendrick, nominated for best supporting actress in Up in the Air, dazzled in a canary yellow Pucci knee-length ruffled dress, while Mulligan, who took home a best actress trophy for her role in An Education, stood out in an unusual floral-print dress by Vionnet.
In a sea of habitual sameness — flowy trains, sleek black gowns, plunging necklines — these two distinctive, elegant, but super-different looks are both charming and refreshing.
What do you think of Kendrick's and Mulligan's red-carpet style, PopWatchers?

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner Heading to the Oscars

Should Robert Pattison be worried?

His Twilight costar – and rumored real life squeeze – Kristen Stewart is presenting at this year's Oscars with the werewolf in her life – Taylor Lautner.

"Yeah, I'm going," Stewart tells E! Online about the Academy Award on March 7. "Me and Taylor are going to present."

Stewart says she's trying to calm her nerves ahead of time by picking out shoes "that I know I won't fall down in."

Busy Schedule

The actress will have to fit shoe shopping into a packed schedule that finds her heading to London for Sunday's British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards [BAFTA], where she is an Orange Rising Star award nominee.

"I feel so funny about it," Stewart says. "Really cool people have won and really cool people are up for it this year. And I know a few of them, like Jesse [Eisenberg] and Carey [Mulligan]."

Rounding out the list of nominees are A Single Man star Nicholas Hoult and French actor Tahar Rahim, whom Stewart believes should take home the award. "If I win, I'm gonna be like, 'Carey, Jesse, suck it up, 'cause I think Tahar should have won."

[BellaAndEdward] Brits Celebrate the BAFTAs

 

Brits Celebrate the BAFTAs

Sunday February 21, 2010 07:45 PM EST
Brits Celebrate the BAFTAs | Prince William
Prince William
GF/Bauer-Griffin
It was a night to remember for Twi-hards and royal fans at the Orange British Academy Awards in London, as Prince William was announced BAFTA's new President and Kristen Stewart won the 'Orange Rising Star' award with Robert Pattinson in the audience.

While Twilight's hot couple arrived separately on the red carpet, both to loud cheers, it was Prince William signing autographs that caused the biggest frenzy on the way in to the star-studded ceremony at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

The young royal attended solo – minus girlfriend Kate Middleton – opened the ceremony with a heartfelt speech on his new BAFTA appointment. "This is such a privilege for me," he said adding, "I have to say, there is nothing better than going to see a really good film so this is a great personal thrill for me."

Prince William follows in the footsteps of his grandfather in accepting the high-profile arts role.

Later in the evening, Colin Firth scooped the Leading Actor award for his role in A Single Man and thanked his friend and director, Tom Ford, for believing in him. "An encounter with Tom Ford is to come away feeling resuscitated, a little more worldly, better groomed, more fragrant and more nominated than one has ever been before."

Carey Mulligan won the Leading Actress award for An Education. In a stunning floral dress, the Brit-born actress tearfully told reporters that the BAFTA recognition meant "everything to me," and that it would be kept in the UK, "probably at my parents house, in their living room."

War drama The Hurt Locker picked up the most awards, taking home six in total, including Best Film.

The evening ended with Prince William and Uma Thurman presenting the Academy Fellowship award to Vanessa Redgrave who gave an emotional speech and received a standing ovation from her peers and her family including her daughter, Joely Richardson.

[BellaAndEdward] Re: FOD SPECIAL: Petition, JuniorComrad, One-shot (M)**Thanks, Cas :-))

 



 
:-)) 
Signed this one, too...
If you hear of any more, just let us know, oaky :-))
I'm more that happy to give you a helping hand!!!!
Thanks again!!!!
Hugs and Kisses!!!!
Luv ya!

Title:  Petition
Author:  Junior Comrad
Rating:
M
Genre: General
Main Character(s): Twilight Fandom

Chapters: Oneshot
Spoilers:
Universe: RL
Summary:


Petition
If some of you are not aware of what has happened, I will angrily explain:
A group of jerky people known as 'Literature Forum' have come onto Fan Fiction and have started rebelling very much against Twilight stories, specifically rated M stories, but also stories that have poor grammar or spelling. They are saying that these stories are nonsense and don't belong on Fan Fiction. Also, the rated M stories have lemons in them, and they say that this is against the guidelines. This is unfortunately true, but it gives them no right to take down the stories, just add an MA Rating.
Here is what Literature Forum does: They flame the shit out of a story they don't like, send messages to Fan Fiction, report the story, and end up getting the story removed. Story's like 'Devils Toy' by 'rparker' and 'Emancipitation Proclamation' by 'kharizzmatik' are one of the many victims and also another story 'The Cage' by 'KrystalCullen' could possibly be taken down as well. But that's not just the stories that have been taken down, no, no, no. There's many more.
Here is what we have decided to do:
Start a petition. It is as simple as that. So far, there are two petitions that are known, this one, and another by Shortbritches85
This is where you guys come in. All you have to do is sign the petition by reviewing. We are hoping that if enough people do this, Fan Fiction will come to its bloody senses. So please sign this petition by a single review, and also sign Shortbritches85 petition as well. Each review counts.
Spread the word, spread the horror, and save stories, maybe even your own.
Support and Love,
JuniorComrad
P.S. Don't believe me? Check out literateunion(dot)blogspot(dot)com for proof.

Another to follow.

I have noticed that many stories are being pulled by Fan Fiction
I think that this is a bunch of bullshit.
We have a right to write what we want to.
I think that everyone that wants to keep the smut,
Violence, and language in the stories need to review to this.
This is a petition.
Please sign this to help the faithful readers
And writers on this site get an NC-17 rating added
To the site. It will allow people to write the smut
And violence as they see fit.
So please sign this so that we can show Fan
Fiction that we do not want any more stories
Pulled. Please sign this if you don't want to lose your favorite stories.
I noticed while reading the guidelines for posting a new story that petitions are not listed as something that cannot be posted. I would just like to clarify that to everyone that has flamed me for starting this saying that I am breaking the rules, when I actually am not.
I also received an e-mail from someone and it seems that we may have found a bit of a loophole in the TOS. What she found reads:
You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to User Submissions that are inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against with respect thereto, and agree to indemnify and hold , its Owners/Operators, affiliates, and/or licensors, harmless to the fullest extent allowed by law regarding all matters related to your use of the site.
I would love it if everyone that has reviewed would send an e-mail to FanFiction and tell them that what they have been doing by asking author's to pull their stories is bullshit. The above says that readers may find things that are not suitable so that right there is a warning that if you don't like something that is posted then don't fucking read it.
Thanks so much.
Shortbritches85

I received a reply from someone that is requesting to know what
Stories have been pulled from the site.
If everyone could let me know what stories have been pulled and
Who the author is I would greatly appreciate it and
I will add the list so that everyone will know what is going on.
I want to thank everyone that has signed the petition.
If you don't agree just PM and let me know what you think, but
I really think that this is a good idea. If my stuff gets pulled that is fine.
I will continue writing my stories on other sites. I already have them posted
On two other sites, so I think that if we all band together that maybe, just maybe
We can get something accomplished with this.
I also think that the site will be losing a lot of readers and author's if
They continue to pull stories just because they have received a
Complaint about it. If you don't like someone's story then you
Don't have to read it. But don't be so petty as to have to report
Someone for what they have written.
The majority of the people that read on here read the M rated
Stories for the smut and violence that it contains.
So please sign the petition and help keep some of the great
Stories on here alive.
And please let me know which stories have been pulled.
Thanks again!

I have received a short list of stories so far that have been pulled.
If anyone else knows of any that have had the misfortune of being pulled as well
Please let me know.
Emancipation Proclamation by kharizzmatik
Fate Had Other Plans by 2twilightbitches
Beautiful, Dirty, Rich by kiki blue
The Dominant, The Submissive, The Training by tara sue me
Nilla Days and Bound Nights is being pulled by the author for all of the fuckery that goes on on this site.
Devil's Toy by rparker
The Training School Saga
Wide Awake by AngstGoddess003
A Dark New World
Multiple Stories by Jasper's Black Rose
The Perfect Wife
Unless something is done about this we are all going to lose a lot of great stories. Anyone that is an author put this on your page and have your faithful readers come and sign as well.
Thanks again to everyone that has signed the petition so far. We still need more signatures so please keep signing and tell your friends to come and sign as well.
I will try and post links to where these stories can now be found if I find them,
If any of you know where they can be found please send me a pm and let me know.
Shortbritches85

Hello Everyone! First off I would just like to say that I appreciate all of you that have signed this petition. The more people we can get to sign it the better the odds are of us actually accomplishing something. I received a PM this morning that included some of the stories everyone loves so I thought that I would share them with you. As always if anyone knows of where any other stories have gone to please let me know. There are also a couple of links to places where you can read other stories that have been pulled.

If I have missed any stories please send me a pm and let me know which ones need to be added. Thank you all so much.
One more final thing, I received an PM and was told that she found the place where there is a hit list of stories that are going to be pulled. I would highly recommend everyone going over there and letting know what is going on. I'm sure that somehow they are violating the TOS, which they complain is what we are doing with this petition.
Here is the blog site for the union that are being a bunch of fucking assholes and getting all of the stories we all love pulled.
