So I created an ongoing entry to keep all my fanfics organized, but even that seems to be becoming overdone.  I'm trying to decide how I really want to organize everything within this blog without it getting confusing for anyone to find what they're looking for.

Ideas:
-Continue as I have been
-Create duplicate entries of the same info, just updated
-Keep separate lists for the things I've read and "rated" versus what is on my To-Read list
-Write reviews for the things I just finished to coincide with the rating I have given it (but only if they are completed).

It'll probably be a work in progress until I figure it out.

I have mentioned I liked Fanfiction before when talking about my obsession with Vampire Knight, but somehow I have now entered into an entirely different world.  I have all but abandoned my poor Zero & Kaname yaoi and have fallen madly in love with Twilight Fanfiction.

Now, I first heard about Fanfiction at Dragon*Con 2008 during a Twilight panel when I heard there were non "fade to black" Isle Esme Honeymoon stories that were pretty hot.  I found some, but never knew how many stories truly existed.

It wasn't until I was following Twighlight-Headed on Twitter and their blog where Meadow Cliffdiver gave weekly fanfiction recommendations.  I took notice one day with a story called Wide Awake and I realized these authors are no joke.  They all have potential to be professional writers, yet they share their passion and talent with the world for free.  It's really a gift and I am grateful for their imagination and story telling skills.

Similarities about the Fanfiction authors that I like:

1. All LOVE Twilight
2. All LOVE the lemons, smut, yaoi, slash, peen, sexy hotness
   
3. Mostly all are female, but don't expect sappy happy chicklit. 
   

This blog entry will be used to keep track of stories I have read or want to read.  I will add the plot summaries for the ones I have read.  You'll figure out which ones I loved, versus liked a lot, versus the ones that I liked. *Note* I am not including one-shots in this list at this time due to the great number of chapter stories available.


 

It's almost the end of the year and it was a great one for concerts.  I used to be so good about writing a review for each and every show I attended, along with attaching a video playlist I recorded from the show.  So what happened after Mar-2009?  I have a litany of excuses, but in the end they are all excuses and I never went back to catch up after I lagged behind. I really will try to make a more concerted effort in 2010 (Oh look, my first New Year's Resolution).

So in review, I will at least make a list of all the bands or performances I saw this past year with a rating from 1-10. They'll be listed in alphabetical order, not by date. Shows were either in Atlanta, GA or Miami, FL.

I know there are many bands I have forgotten that I have seen over the years, but here is what I remember, plus new stuff.  This entry will get updated every time I see more bands.

So it's no surprise that RPattz would be "bothered" by New Moon.  I mean, Edward was absent for over 300 pages in the book, so how can we expect Rob to not be happy to be missing for most of the movie as well.  In all seriousness though, it IS Edward's fault he is missing from so much of the book/movie.  And it was his decisions that brought another guy into his Bella's life.  This was what he wanted.  Still, that has to be bothersome.

Jimmy Fallon continues to be a comedic genius with this segment.

There's even a real web page to see all of RPattz's "Bothered" videos.

Today I did something I thought I'd never do...I deleted my myspace account.  I didn't even really think about it.  I just decided, why do I still keep this account around when I'm never on it?

Now that I have done it, I have small pangs of guilt and sadness over its absence.  Not enough to really regret it, but some to make me nostalgic for years gone by.
