As a reminder- there are auto-playing video ads on LTT. I know. We’re so annoying. Mute them & they’ll stay muted for life. Hit the volume button- two in the side bar. Two (or 3 I forget) down below.
Dear LTTers,
We have these friends Alice & Bella Not an Addikt (You remember them from their defunct website. RIP) who live in Belgium. They’re normal 20-somethings- ya know, speak 4 languages (or is 5?), in PhD programs (I think Alice is done hers actually. And Bella was “too busy” defending her dissertation last week to get this video done for us) are gorgeous, friendly, bring me macaroons when they visit me in New York on hot Spring days and are about to BLOW YOUR FREAKIN’ MINDS with what they did for us at LTT.
Yes, Bella & Alice are bringing us Breaking Dawn Part 1: The Musical complete with original lyrics set to Broadway favorites. Stop what you’re doing. Put down that contract you’re combing through at your boring desk job. Drop that kid. Pull that car over on the side of the road (seriously, don’t read LTT while driving) and Watch This Now:
We know. We cried too! Feed the wolves? Don’t cry for me Jacob Black? Who is that rediculously brilliant & funny? Is this a sign we should retire from LTT & give our Belgian friends the reigns!?
Hear from Alice & Bella themselves after the jump! Continue…
Moon & I are STILL not dead (the first time we told you this was on Friday, remember?. But we STILL haven’t talked to each other. Well, we sorta did tonight when I was on my way to meet a friend, getting yelled at by a cab driver because I had no cash & getting another call on my other line. It was a very rushed & sad “catch up.” Can life slow down for like a second? Don’t they know that Moon & I haven’t talked in like, weeks? Uggh… stupid life.
Anyway- this is a sad, sad post to apologize yet again and promise that this week we’ll catch up. This week we’ll make a PLAN to entertain you AND ourselves. This week we’ll be BACK on the Twi bandwagon.
Seriously, we’re not dead. I know it may seem like UC and I possibly got abducted by mad Krisbians and taken to their underground lair for “reprogramming” (aka 24/7 Kristen movie watching, wallpapering rooms in K magazine covers and Joan Jett listening) but we did not. In fact UC got a major award in her industry last night and I started a new job last week so that’s our non excuse, excuse for why we’ve been MIA.
Have no fear though, we’re going to reconvene and get our Twilisht shiz back in order. I mean there are 2 weeks old hair cuts to talk about, Target events with BD 2 clips to plan, Kellan’s must have shown up at a beach somewhere half clothed and of course the DVD is coming out!!! There is a lot to do, we know!
Thank you for understanding and I swear we’re ok and haven’t converted to Hunger Games/Warm Bodies/Mortal Instruments/whatever fans and left forever.
Dear Twilight,
Forgive me. I blogged once this week. (I think I blogged on Monday). And I had every intention of getting together with Moon this week to bring you the most EPIC LTT post ever (Yes- we were going to sing & record our very own “Twilight Musical” pieces) but this week has been the week from h-e-double-hockey-sticks (< — that’s so fun to say, even as an adult) and I am just now finishing work (at midnight) so a musical piece sung from one coast to another coast just isn’t gonna happen. :/
But I did take about 30 seconds to find us some oldie but goodie images that might make us laugh. That was nice of me:
I promise I’ll (try to) be a better blogger next week. Even though I’m traveling for work. And probably won’t even have my computer with me. I’ll worry about that next week.
Xo,
UnintendedChoice
Have a Happy Weekend! I plan to sleep & then do more work. FML
Hey LTTers.. this week some gossip was released about a fan fic that was popular. And since the last fan fic I read (and never finished) had something to do with cookies, I brought in the big guns for their expertise:
Dear Twilight Fandom,
The twitters were a buzz on Monday with the news of former fandom “author,” SnowQueens IceDragon E.L. James getting a possible Hollywood development deal for her Fan fiction, Master of the Universe Fifty Shades of Grey.
“One of the things Hollywood scouts are buzzing about coming off the holidays is, surprisingly, an erotica series by a British TV executive which has garnered strong word-of-mouth via GoodReads and other fan sites. An insider said the series, called Fifty Shades of Grey (which is also the title of the first book), is “being compared to Nine and a Half Weeks” and is making the rounds among producers in Los Angeles. Author E.L. James published the books without an agent through a small former writers community called The Writer’s Coffee Shop, and told PW she has sold approximately 30,000 copies since releasing the first book in May, 2011.
James is represented by film British film and TV agent Valerie Hoskins and, still, does not have a literary agent. Hoskins confirmed that there is “huge buzz” on the books, largely from American producers and, now, from a few larger American publishers. The books are out in trade paper and e-book, and available through a number of outlets, including the Kindle store. The series, which is set in the U.S., follows a woman named Anastasia Steele, who is studying literature, and who becomes romantically (and sexually) entangled with an entrepreneur named Christian Grey.”
While I wish Publishers Weekly would do a little more than just publish a Press Release without doing any due diligence to insider sources, there are still some highly disturbing facts. How is it possible that James is publishing FAN FICTION? Now, I never read MotU for my own reasons (I heard it sucked), but I wanted to understand the background of the story and the similarities between James’ Bella Ana and Edward Christian.
Brooke: I’d like to start off by saying that i have New Moon on in the back ground. So if I occasionally space out, I’m swooning over the stache
Fluff: lol
Allryans: Not the stache. The SamFlab
Fluff: samflab. they should write fic about sam, then sell it to lifetime. that’d make for some compelling shit
Brooke: I’m sure in person, it’s just a little bloaty, but then you have Alex there with his washboard glory
Fluff: Getting Rid of The Bloat: Sam’s Story
Allryans: How Emily came to love Sam’ Spare Tire, a haiku by Leah Clearwater
Brooke: diuretics of death, the Sam Story
Allryans IS nice.
Fluff: Can I also say the next person who calls me “mean” is gonna GET mean. I swear to God. I want to bitchslap these delusional idiots
Allryans: I saw the word “vicious” today. WAH WAA
Brooke: hahah, I either ignored all that or was in a meeting. I think no one calls me mean to my face anymore
Fluff: [name deleted] tweeted “my mama said if you don’t have something nice to say, shut your mouth or I’ll shut it for you.” LMAO REally? Bring it bitch.
Allryans: Mockery is not meanness. It’s flattery, dontchaknow
Fluff: This whole thing is like the David Koresh of the fic world
Brooke: *heartichoke* Bella just told Edward he won’t stay with her any other way. Why does that get me, EVERY TIME?
Fluff: You wanted me to be human OMG sad
Allryans: Cause KStew actually did super well right then. SEE? I CAN BE NICE
Fluff: she will ROCK IT as Fifty’s Bella
Allryans: ANASTASIA. Get it right
Fluff: I mean OMG. And when I think crazy, sexually abused crackbaby Dominant I think ROBERT PATTINSON
Crazy fans always ruin it for the rest of us
Here’s what we could look “forward” to (if it were up to her fans)
Brooke: so have either of you read Masters of the Universe?
Fluff: yes
Allryans: I actually saw a thread on Goodreads today asking about casting for the book. They all wanted Wetworth Miller for 50
Fluff: LMFAO hahahahahahahha. This isn’t Prison Break. God bless that cult.
Brooke: so, i suppose this story came out and I was too loyal to the sub, or was in my Vamp fan fic only phase
Allryans: I’ve read BOTH MoTU and 50 Shades of Grey (but not the sequels, I have standards)
Fluff: To be perfectly honest, I LOVED MotU at first.
Allryans: Me too.
Brooke: but then i heard the author of MOTU was a piece of work and I couldn’t start it
Fluff: It was great. Then she just couldnt let Edward be fucked up. He had to be F U C K E D UP.
Allryans: I started it pretty early on, before she had a persona at all. I think it was about 25 chapters in, and updating really regularly when I started it. Suddenly the thread on Twilighted got out of control with theories and followers and talking ALL DAY long. That’s where the Bunker Babes and the Cult of Icy began. And I started slowly backing away.
Brooke: so, was it the author, the story, or her cult fans?
Fluff: and her bella had shit for a backbone. And her wording KILLED me. I’m not into BDSM much but I think it’s disgusting to call spanking ‘beating ass’, Where I’m from beating ass means getting your ass whooped because you are fighting. NOT some love taps in bed.
Brooke: I’ve heard from others that the writing was crappy.
Fluff: the author was FINE until she gained a following.
Brooke: they all played into her evil plan
Allryans: Icy was probably overwhelmed with the attention in the beginning. Then her ego inflated.
Edward’s Mom is a crackwhore
Fluff: My biggest thing was the British-isms when Edward and Bella lived in the PNW. Like it’s not hard to know a billionaire WOULDN’T drink BudLight. Shit, in my teen days where we drank what we got our hands on, we still had better taste.
Allryans: It’s fic. We don’t read it because it’s renewing our minds with it’s literary breakthroughs. Of course it’s got …. problems … like a million … ellipses … for instance. And Bella is the most indecisive, spineless, insecure version of herself that I’ve ever seen.
Fluff: Bella wore ‘vests’ and dressing gowns. The story was compelling until she just kept throwing HORRIBLE things at the characters. I mean Edward’s mom? She was a crackwhore. And it came out that he liked to ‘beat Bella’s ass’ because Bella looked like his birth mother. I mean WHAT THE WHAT?
Allryans: But it was intriguing, we were all talking about it together (which is the main reason why fic is fun for me) and to be honest, there were aspects of her Edward that were beyond awesome. I can’t remember what they are right now, but that’s because she ruined him in the end.
Allryans: While there are fics out there that are very well written, fics I”m proud to have read and reviewed, this one was PURE ENTERTAINMENT.
Brooke: nothing wrong with that!
Allryans: I ignored all the things that annoyed me, and read it for the story. THEN THE STORY GOT WHACK YO. AND THEN ICY AND HER FOLLOWERS GOT WHACK.
Allryans: I mean, she threw every single villain from the Twiverse out there. There was Mrs Robinson, Lauren, James, Jacob. I remember when the “ghost girl” showed up it was one of the first times I said – wtf is she doing with this story? How much can happen to one couple in a two week time period? Her friend is still in the goddamned Bahamas for chrissake.
Brooke: Dear lord, sounds like they were whipping the shark in every chapter
Brooke: GET IT? WHIPPING – S&M
Allryans: JOKE LANDED!
Brooke: (<—dork)
Allryans: There was something every chapter. Usually it was Bella and Edward start to argue and Edward stops her complaining with sex.
