Description “Edward, you LEECH!”

“You’re a stinking DOG, Jacob!”

Then the two fell upon each other, snarling and biting, ripping at each others’ clothes, then flesh.  Jacob was the first to clutch Edward’s penis and slide it into his mouth, chomping down.  Edward followed suit, grasping Jacob’s—“

I tossed the manuscript on my desk before I tossed my cookies.  This was hopeless.  This was also the best work I’d received yet for the newspaper writing contest.  I rubbed my eyes, trying to think up yet another new, polite way to say you so utterly suck.

“So?  What do you think?”

I looked up at the writer responsible for this masterpiece.  Mrs. Muldoon was a deacon in our church, and had fallen inexplicably hard for Ms.Meyer’s vampire wiles.  I was as mystified as anyone, I suppose.

“Mrs. Muldoon—“

“Grace.”

“Grace.  It’s… um, kind of… intense?”

She nodded vigorously.  “Yes!  You can see by chapter three they’ve totally gotten over that Bella girl and are well on their way to Ohio so they can get married.”

She’d fixated on gay rights, specifically gay marriage ever since Tony, her older boy, had come out.  It was a fine thing to support one’s children, but this was the oddest outlet by far she’d utilized.

“Mrs. Muldoon—“

“Grace.”

“Grace.  It goes on for…” I flipped pages of her manuscript.  “Six?  Six pages.  This one sex scene.”

“Oh, it’s not pornography, Mr. Taylor.  It’s pivotal to the story.  They’re trying to kill each other, you see.”

“By fellating each other for six pages?”

“They’re supernatural creatures!  Of course they have stamina.  They have to suck the venom out of their veins, you see.”

“And then they fall in love and decide to get married.  In Ohio.”

She sensed my skepticism, her smile faltering.  “Well, it’s a complicated relationship.”

“I can see that.”  I tried a different deterrent.  “Um, you do realize it’s a creative writing contest?  In a public newspaper?  The Gazette’s read by over twenty thousand of your fellow townspeople.  And this is… very… explicit.”

“Mr. Taylor.  My message requires a certain amount of—“

“And it’s very, very long.  214 pages is well beyond the scope of—“

“I’d be pleased if you serialized it.  A chapter a week until it’s complete.”

I had to admire her calm determination.  I sighed, blew out my cheeks.  This really was the best we’d gotten, and the contest was officially over, and I had an entirely blank Features section holding up the Gazette’s presses, and it would be soooo easy to…

“You know what, Grace?  I’m running it.  Chapter one in tomorrow’s Gazette.  Congratulations for winning the contest.”

Her beaming face almost made up for my imagined meeting with the Gazette editorial board tomorrow.  Well, this’ll teach ‘em to fuck with the Christmas bonuses around here.  I picked up the winning contest entry again, flipped it open to a random page.

A serpentine length of Edward’s vampire tool coiled around Jacob’s—

Oh sweet jumpin Jesus in a sack race.  This was gonna be good.

I refuse to watch the movies - simply because the story works as told from the perspective of a 16/17-year-old. That is removed in the films (I'm sure) and it would leave the whole thing awfully cringe-worthy.

Plus the guy who plays Edward looks like a total ponce.

I dunno. I thought he nailed the emotive range I imagined for Edward.

"Okay, remove the concrete cinder block we're using as a stand-in and let's get Mr.Pattinson on set...?"

"Um... sir? That is Mr.Pattinson."

I saw the first paragraph. And the first thing that ran through my head was "Didn't he say last time that he was done bashing Twilight?"

So I clicked.

And read.

And this story? This is the reason I love to hate you.

See how much time and paper Meyer could've saved. All that "i love Bella best" "No, I LOVE BELLA BEST!". for FOUR BOOKS!. They were clearly completely hot for each other and barely restraining themselves the entire time. Pfft. Women. Always getting in the way of gay porn.

By book #4 I realized that really WAS the primary conflict: who loved Bella most. All the rest o'that fancy writing stuff? Window dressing.

Grr.

in some respects i love that Meyer put two emotionally weak and extremely neurotic characters as leads. Personal favourite of mine. Just a shame the books got so damn popular and totally glamourised those ridiculously negative OHMYGOD-icantbewithoutyouorIwilljustDIE attachment issues whilst, really (surely) that sort of behaviour would destroy any relationship? Not to mention yer spine.

Ah. Yes. They infantilize themselves with paralyzing levels of emotion. Reduced to gurgling near-hysterical proclamations of raw love without articulation, or even real explanation for what their 'love' means.

Spine. Backbone. Spleen.

(general dignity and self reliance. the ability to function and be happy without your heart-throb never more than 20 paces away. That's not to say love and lust aren't fantastic, (two of my favourite pastimes), and wanting to be with one particular person more than others, but being with ANYone 24/7 would likely drive me to some kind of unneccessary slaughter)

Surely there are more enjoyable ways to do in your back?

Don't lay off, ever. I haven't found it gets old yet, bashing Twilight. Sure, I like the series in sort of the same way I like brocolli (it's food, it's there, I eat it and am full), but the faults are many and hilarious.

How how how could you manage to sum up everything I love and yet hate all in one tiny story?
And why does this just seem far too familiar?
It really just cracks me up that you wrote and yet anti-wrote a tiny yet epic gay Twilight fic.

(I also love that you can only read the first paragraph in the preview. Does it say something about me that I was willing to read this, despite only having that description to go on?)
