Chapter 17 according to Google! There was even a search option for "When does Edward tell Bella he loves her in Twilight?" Which was halfway through the book I think. But who knows how quickly Bella was thinking about love in her inner monologue.
I can only say four things to you, STAY AWAY FROM HTDAMS. But also Super, instant love between B/E happens so often it's practically canon. Or, actually? There might not be any 'practically' about it....is it canon? I can't remember how quickly they fell in love in Twilight....Hmmmm? *goes off to research* Why can't I ever learn!!!! I thought. "Let me have a look at what Loopy's reading". Just a quick 'click'...Now I'm stuck with you in Hell's Fire....F*ck. My. Life. From HTDAMS to this......F*ck. My. Life! Which author are you beta-ing for Goo or Jaxon? I enjoyed Jaxon's Pound of Flesh...I think? From I can remember......
I think in story terms it took Edward roughly a week to fall in love with Bella in Twilight but you have to read Midnight Sun (Edward's POV) to get to it. After hiding in Alaska for a week, he comes back and sees Bella as a vamp in Alice's head, He wants to run again, Alice dares him to try leaving and proclaims he loves her, he then starts his stalker/criminal trespass behaviour by sitting and watching Bella sleep. So folks?...We have to suck it up! I'm of the mind that you can't complain about things that are canon. I mean it's great when authors break away but if something is part of the canon story then you have to live with it, its what makes it Twilight, (not HP) like Bella's f*cking blue dress...or the meadow I grind my teeth every time I read that sh!t but I have to live with it or read another fandom.
So true. Speaking of flouncing, I've flounced so many things lately, and that includes Help Wanted. The pacing of the events is too fast, but the writing is just I don't know how to say it, I guess the question is, "Can the Author be a bit more concise?"
Not a fan of canon, I guess?
Lol, why do you think I posted the link. I just knew someone *cough*YOU*cough* would click on it and get sucked into the eye bleeding badness that it is. Love ya really hun.
The answer to that is yes; but most never do as every word they put down is a nugget of gold and takes them one step further to being the next literary marvel; which is where editors come in.....
Errr? Hello? You know me, I like my twifics as far from canon as you can get (which sometimes makes me wonder why I bother to read them) but some things are what they are...
In reading some of it, I was saying to myself "Didn't you beta or prereader mention something about this?" I guess I don't understand is all.
As a beta, you may not be a better writer than the person you are beta-ing for. It's all free. Most writers use this a a learning method. They get comments from the readers which hopefully help as well. Part of the problem too, is that many readers just want more, and when you are writing a serial story like they do (posting a chapter at a time) you don't look at the story as a whole before posting it. So the chapter may read perfectly on it's own. But taken as a whole, really needs some editing. Does that make sense?
In reading some of it, I was saying to myself "Didn't you beta or prereader mention something about this?" I guess I don't understand is all.LOL true. For one of my story ideas I have something that I think perhaps not many authors have done, but I'm still investigating and seeing if it's plausible.
Twilight vampires are seriously the worst. They mate for life, which I guess is romantic. But they don't sleep and they SPARKLE! Plus I have a hard time picturing GOLDEN EYES. Why couldn't she have just used hazel. Hazel I can picture. Hazel doesn't scream camp. Hazel doesn't look ORANGE when they had to wear contacts in the movie
Please tell me you're writing a Daddyward where the child, now a teenager, hates Edward for being an absent father?! And sticks to its guns (if there was an actual gun involved all the better) for more that 3 chapters! PLEASE, SOMEONE WRITE THAT STORY!

I guess you're a little worked up, eh?
I will find you one. I normally cringe at how quick the kids are in stories to accept Edward as their father, but I remember meeting my dad later in life and being really excited about having a REAL DAD!I really need to stop posting, but Demaris has me in a roll with the mention if canon. I can see how so many authors take liberties with Edward as a vamp before Bella and the relationships he might have encountered, because we never get his POV and we only know that he's never had intercourse. Right? He could have indulged in other encounters. Then there's that windchymes story where he was used for like 2 seconds in his human life and it totally didn't count, but it did enough to produce a kid.
Non cannon is brilliant, the more non cannon it is the more I like it. Charlie & Leah anyone?
