I was thinking that about some of the actors too *cough Rosalie cough*  And much as I like Jackson?  Jasper should have been taller and blonde.   

When I read the books Jasper certainly didn't look like Jackson Rathbone - no offense to him, I think he is great in other things.  In my head Jasper looked like Thad Luckinbill.

Have you ever thought that SM make those Twilight characters very tall to time period
when they were born? 
Carlisle about 188 cm when the average length of men 1600's was 168 cm because
the Little Ice Age. 
Jasper 190,5 cm 1800's. Maybe Jasper's family comes from the Scandinavia (honey blond hair )
where the men were very tall.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DASBAIYO! Hope it's a good one! 

Thanks!

On the subject to P2P and fic in general, there are several stories that I have flounced or that I have no idea why they are so popular. I am currently reading (or well almost finished) Our Yellow House by CaraNo.  It's very well written, but I just feel there are certain things that are a bit too optimistic for my liking.

Thanks!

Even though she's had a lot of angst in her own life, CaraNo rarely writes any.  Her stories tend to be very upbeat.   

Can you guys please help me as I'm new to this site & am looking for some Twilight fan-fiction's to read.  I'm mainly interested in the cannon couple ones where possible, I quite enjoy the odd mafiaward or crime theme but in all honesty I love most areas of fanfic so all recommendations will be greatly appreciated & where possible a small synopsis would be amazing if no trouble at all.

Thank you so much in advance for any help at all

LOL thanks.  Don't worry.  I feel even more weird on one of my twitter accounts.

Just got a friend hooked on GOT. He keeps calling me after every few episodes he watches to say " I dont know if I hate you or I love you " He just finished the 3.9 episode.... a real dilly!

Oh. My. Goodness.  I just finished the third season and I know exactly what you are talking about with 3.9.   I'm going to put this in spoiler code just in case anybody hasn't seen it yet.       

We actually watched 4.2 last night where something major happens... 

There Will Be Blood
By: johnnyboy7
Edward Cullen,25,the son of a Chicago mob boss. He is second-in-command, cold and dangerous. Bella Swan,18,small town girl who has just enrolled as a freshman at Northwestern. A story about how love can survive in the cruelest of worlds.Very OCC.Rated M.

Is this one that everybody is always raving about?   Is it similar to the movie? Or no?

F**K! I really have to re-read this story....Ella I wouldn't worry, I claim to have read the whole thing and I don't remember sh!t about it! Is the apartment upstairs from a dance school? At least tell me I have that right?! 

Did anybody answer you?  Yes, LTiF... they meet in an apartment over a dance studio.   See, you haven't forgotten everything.   Speaking of rereading... did you ever reread Wide Awake?  I want your thoughts on that epilogue one of these days.

So, YellowGlue has had a book (novella) published, Light and Wine, written in collaboration with another author (not TeamBella) under the penname Sparrow AuSoleil, it sounds right up my street...I'm off to download and read ( In Death? What's In Death?).
Light and Wine by Sparrow AuSoleil

Let us know the moment you finish this one!! It's $2.99 on Amazon and I'm about to fork over the dollars without any reviews just because I love her so much.    What is In Death?  Does it have anything to do with Light and Wine? or am I just confused? 

Whatever!  I am a disciple of only one cult leader and her name is Yellowglue   

How do I sign up?  Is this the same one where I was warned about drinking the koolaid?

I flounced that. I wouldn't publish it. 

I flounced as well.

I don't know how you missed that dasbaiyo is a guy - I'm not sure how I know except I think he said something that clued me in.  I'm a moderator on InDeath.net and we have a few guys on site (even tho it is a Nora Roberts site) - so maybe that helped me clue in - speech patterns, the way his mind worked/works?  Who knows?   By the way, kimkimkim - try the InDeath series - I think you'll get hooked.  Demaris is definitely hooked.  Come lurk on the InDeath site and see how obsessed we are - we've even got our own wiki.  We've even got Nora and her assistant paying attention - although some days that's not a plus - she's finding that we aren't as easy to control in our thought patterns as her own site was when it existed but then we aren't her site which makes her just a visitor.

I know I've been very absent here lately. But how did I miss we had a guy here?

Don't worry, I didn't know either. Well our day is complete; we learned something new. Happy Birthday Dasbaiyo!!
