The whole Twilight series is one long exercise in badfic.
Flowers in the Attic had a bizarre premise, but no more bizarre than other vaguely gothic potboiler type of stories, and at least Catherine was a fighter, and sort of amusing.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Jilli, linky to Cleolinda's recap? Also, re: your whitefont, wasn't there a similar birth in Lost Souls? But the mom doesn't survive ?
I'm planning on going to one of those fancy theaters that serves food & alcohol, so I don't have to bother with smuggling flasks of absinthe with me again. Instead, helpful staff will bring me booze!
I would so go with you.

I've heard that after reading the last Twilight book, some of the fans are swearing off sex altogether.
Perhaps that was Meyers' plan all along? MWahahaha!

Part one of Cleolinda's recap! [link]
smonster, about your whitefont, yeah, the birth scene in Lost Souls is vaguely similar, but the vampire infant chews its way out of its mother. In Breaking Dawn, EdwardSparklepire opens Bella up so they can remove the infant.
Which is why I wanted David Cronenberg to direct, dammit!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Personally, the whole incest of the Flowers series is way squickier for me than the whole imprinting thing, which oddly, I get. As far as the context of wolves and half-vampire/half-humans.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think Flowers was very disturbing. For some reason the incest wasn't what got me. The mother's treatment of the kids is what got me. that kind of brutality and inhumanity is something I couldn't ever get out of my mind.
And I read the whole series!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I really should save up and fly out there to see Breaking Dawn with Jilli. It would make the experience for me complete.
Owen's building a Lego TARDIS and a minifigure Doctor Who. I knew letting them run feral this summer would pay off. I need to go find my camera.

That 51 year old looks about 25, and that supposed 16 year old looks older than me, so. Weird.
All my best family stories happened at least 80 years ago, which is I guess the way it should be. Did I tell you the one about my great uncle burning down the house when he was 5? They never spoke of it again. Literally. Never mentioned.

Yeah, I'm a little bit ashamed to say that I have the entire Flowers and Heaven series. And Dawn. And part of Ruby. Man, I loved me some VC Andrews when I was a kid.
