Safe, sane, consensual.

My mom did the same thing with the guilt!

Oh, I agree completely. You're right that it would be way easier to make Bella out to be the Big Bad... just needs some subtlety and finesse to pull it off. Isn't it funny how something like that can be a relatively "easy" change, compared to actually fleshing out a character? LOL

God I wish I could tell some of the stories, but most of them would be dead giveaways to my identity.

YES, that's it! Oh I just about died. It's so bad.

I know, I really need to reexamine my parenting strategy. I mean, how is she going to learn if I don't put her through unholy terror?

My beautiful toddler threw up for the first time last week (stay with me, here). It was late at night and we heard her coughing... went to check on her, saw the mess, cleaned her up, change of clothes, all that.

Same here - I read this whole fandom drama thing about how EL basically told someone she was just trying to get rich(er) and famous - I believe she said something about how she already had the connections and money to basically force her way into publishing and her goal was to "change the industry of publishing" or…

I actually really enjoyed The Host. For what it is, it's pretty well-written and original. It's also believable, if you don't think about it too hard. It's definitely not going to become a classic or anything, but I think it's far superior to Twilight and I was surprised that S. Meyer wrote it because I think it's…

Oh God. Mine is a toddler. She's just learning to speak, and sometimes she will fucking whisper nonsense at me. Like, we'll be all cuddly and cute, and she'll just turn to me and whisper, "I'm actually speaking an ancient language and prophesying your DOOM!"

Thank you for your thoughtful response. You make good points - I tend to speak broadly and you're absolutely right that Meyers's case isn't terribly strong, like, if this were to go to court.

My guess is that, since it's rape, the people involved were shy to portray it as RAPE.. versus a softer "ohhh, she just safeworded" thing.

ON IT I'M ON IT I CALLED IT!

Erika Leonard has got to know that this was a total fluke and she's lucky that anyone knows her name.

I still don't know why Meyer wouldn't protect her work from this vile woman's trash heap attempt at writing.

This!

I'm pretty sure mine is basically all the stuff people don't want to see on facebook (which is why I have an IG):

Okay, I'm not at all trying to be offensive, but I don't know how to say this in a good way... So, Torchwood fans... Captain John Hart (I think that's his name) was presented as "pansexual" and once showed attraction to a poodle. So I thought that "pansexual" went beyond attraction to people and included…

Weren't people smaller back then? Maybe, relatively speaking, Orm lifted like 2000 lbs?

I like tofu depending on the preparation. I honestly don't get much exposure to it, but it's cool by me.
