Is officially sick of love triangles in which the girl does truely love both guys. D:

February 28, 2009 at 8:17 pm (Books, Random, Writing)

Title says all. This circumstance is usually pretty uncommon (THANK GOD), but recently I’ve read two books with this sort of dilemma. 1.) Twilight Series and 2.) Revelations (latest book of the Blue Bloods series…yes, it’s about vampires.)

I mean, I don’t know if it’s because girls can’t resist the sex appeals vampires have or something else because both books have the girl literally loving BOTH her sexy vamp bf and her not-so-sexy but cute human guy. Except, in Revelations, Schuyler (pronounced Skyler) is a half-vampire herself… that has spent most of her life living as a human(not a fledgling like Bella) It’s a nice psychological thing and all, where the girl has to choose between her human self and supernatural vamp self, but COME ON!

Now, there might be a chance that this bugs me because I’ve never been in love and have no idea what it feels like. But is it POSSIBLE to love TWO PEOPLE PASSIONATELY at the same time?!!? Feel free to let me know when you find out. :P

But still, it is a HORRIBLE plot device because it requires a dues ex machina (in the form of the author manipulating the plot like Stephenie Meyer did with the birth of Renesmee and like Melissa de la Cruz did by having Mimi assault Jack ((the smexy vamp bf)) and force him to realize that she is his soul-mate (complicated bonding stuff. Apparently it’s inescapable like werewolves being imprinted.)

Unlike other love triangles (which are only slightly annoying) the heroine CANNOT solve the problem by herself and is TRULY A TWO-TIMER! (and spends a large part of the book moping about how sucky she is and how she feels sorry for the guys).

Don’t get me wrong, I still loved Revelations and Breaking Dawn and thought both were awesomely epic. Revelations just had bad timing and was published around the same year, not letting me recover from my last fit of annoyance for Bella. D:<

I am going to promise right here and now that I am NEVER going to include one of these in my writing. NEVER.

If My Characters Came to Life…

February 9, 2009 at 7:42 pm (Random, Writing)

This is a random musing of a sort of procrastinating writer as she wonders about the circumstances of her characters. I say sort of procrastinating because I’m not INTENTIONALLY procrastinating…I’m just having trouble juggling school work with writer work.

I could always not sleep like Jennifer Lynn Barnes…but unfortunately,I, UNLIKE Jen, have a fixed bedtime. D”: As in, my parents literally chase me down and drag me to bed at like 10:30 or so.
D: D:
Ok enough defending my case. Onto “If my characters came to life…”

If Sebastian came to life, he’d either file a law suit against me for child abuse, general person abuse, or just plain sadism. Remember the violence I had in Lightweaver? Well, let’s just say I take it up a notch in V. Fia. I also have flashbacks/anecdotes of little Sebastian. Getting more or less abused. By Lucius.

If Fia came to life, she’d burn Jasper down. And then feel sorry for it and offer to help fund money for it and rename it “Brenton High School”. She’d also make the school a whole lot better than it is now.

If Vincent came to life, he’d be Sebastian’s lawyer. And pwn at cross examination. And prove me guilty. (YIKES! o: )

If Lucius came to life, life as we know it would cease to exist.

If Asiana came to life, we’d be living in the equivalent of the Amazon rainforest.

This is all I can do right now because the rest of the characters in V. Fia are completely new and you will all get a chance to meet them when I finish…. -_-; I will continue this post later when I’m actually done and you all actually know about the other characters.

Now, I shall go study for Humanities. AND NO COMMENTS ABOUT HOW YOU’RE GOING TO EPICLY FAIL.
