Breaking Dawn Part 2

Now that I have seen the last movie in The Twilight Saga I will gladly chime in.

For starters, I am one of those moviegoers who either hates a movie so much that I feel major disappointment when I walk out... cough cough New Moon cough cough.... OR I love it so much that I immediately want to go see it again/ Google its DVD release date. 

I can proudly tell you that I loved Breaking Dawn Part 2! I'll shout it at the top of the Empire State Building and I won't care who hears me.

For those of you in the back with the grumbling under your breath comments "O my gosh, how can she like that? It was such a waste of two hours." All I have to say is haters gonna hate.

Everyone has to have a guilty pleasure. Pinterest, the Real Housewives series, brownies, and Twilight just happen to be a few of mine. 

Before I went and saw the movie, I was skeptical it could muster up the same kind of emotions that the book gave me. The sadness, the anxiety, the jump-off-a-cliff-I-can't-turn-the-next-page-in-fear of-what-happens-next feeling that only makes you want to keep reading until its over. The movie did a pretty good job of this.

I won't say it conjured up the exact same intensity of feelings because "the twist" gives you a whole new set of emotions. 

I honestly don't think they could have made the battle scene without "the twist." It blew my mind.

And for those of you wondering: Were there any shirtless Jacob shots?

 Oh yes, there was. He strips right down to his skivvies in one of the scenes. Sadly, that was the only shirtless Jacob scene in the entire movie!

There were definitely some “take it off” comments yelled throughout the theatre.

When the credits rolled, I felt a pang of sadness, but then I turned to my sister and asked “Can we go see it again tomorrow?” J

Fan Fiction- The Cullen Campaign

Fan fiction has transformed over the past couple of decades. What was once fiction based on the explicitly viewed actions of popular characters, is now more commonly just fans writing different endings, scenarios, and plots of their favorite movies, TV shows, and books.

FanFiction.net is one of the most popular and widely used fan fiction archives in the world.This past summer, it purged 62,000 stories when they changed their eighteen and over age policy to allow people under the age of eighteen to register. 

FanFiction.Net allows content with a K-M Fiction Rating. They have not allowed MA (Mature Audience) fiction since 2002.

Although some fan fictions are still of the rated “R” variety, such as E.L. James’ Fifty Shades Trilogy, others have merely created different lives for popular characters.

Some of the most popular characters that writers incorporate into fan fiction are the characters of Harry Potter, Bella and Edward, Katniss and Peeta, and the list goes on and on.

The best thing about fan fiction is that you can find some really entertaining stories and you can also read them for free!

I am currently reading a twilight fan fiction called The Cullen Campaign. It's about Bella, a right-wing republican, and Edward, a left-wing democrat who find each other fascinating and challenging.

(Besides Bella looking demonic in this picture, Edward is looking a little too Cedric Diggory for me.)

So what’s the problem? Their families have been political rivals for the past century. This is a modern day interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Will they end up together? Or will they allow their political affiliations and their political parents keep them a part?

Other characters from the Twilight Saga have been intermixed into the plot as well. For example, Jacob and Alice are married! Alice still has her psychic abilities, but Jacob isn’t a werewolf and none of the characters are vampires. I had hoped to finish this before the 2012 US election, but all that political jargon in reality and in fiction was making my head spin :) 

Hopefully, now that the election is over I can make another go at it!
