Jacob – The (Almost) Tragic Hero

Now that we’re all coming down from the Eclipse high, I think it’s time to look at one of the central characters here in more detail. He seems to be strongly polarizing the fandom into different camps, which I find somewhat unfortunate given that he never lives to his full potential. Or rather, he outlives [...]

#EPICFAIL – why you never win when adapting a beloved book into a movie

The internets are abuzz about the Eclipse clips and one of them in particular, the now infamous parking lot scene where Jacob spills the beans to Bella about Victoria’s return. HEA wrote a great post yesterday for the blog, in which she outlined the major concerns a lot of fans share regarding how the main [...]

On Respectful Robstening

I’m not going to talk about shipping, because the very definition of the word implies a fairly high degree of wishful thinking. Anyone who has done the research can deduce we’re beyond hopeful fantasies at this point. Perhaps a better title would’ve been ‘Respectful appreciation and admiration of two talented young actors and their romance’. [...]

Man vs. Love

Robsten. Rob and Kristen. That’s the primary reason for many of us to have found RobstenLove.com, and is the key motivation to stay, contribute, and share experiences. This post will not be some kind of pontification on the progression of their relationship as I have deduced it to have evolved – there are timelines on [...]

Prose & Woes of a TwiFic Loving Unicorn

I should preface this post by noting that I had pretty serious misgivings about fan fiction prior to engaging with the Twilight universe. My experiences were founded on reading some extremely cringe-worthy Star Wars and Tolkien fics – the characterization and dialogue on the Star Wars stuff was even worse than what George Lucas could [...]

Rocket Queen

The singular reason why I became interested in Twilight in the first place was Kristen Stewart. I should probably begin by noting that in addition to loving literature, I’m also something of a theater fan, especially in terms of observing the actors at work. I was immediately drawn to the understated, subtle way she approached [...]

Unicorn Sighting

Message From C2R: I was as shocked as anyone else when Kerensky informed me that he has a penis.  Well, not at first.  At first I was very skeptical, as I always am when confronted with Unicorns.  For those of you not in the know, we refer to men who are into Twilight and or [...]

A Non-TwiHard View on Robsten Love

A Message From C2R: It’s always interesting to have a different perspective, and as my husband is a great writer I thought it was an awesome idea to get him to write some stuff for our blog from a dude’s perspective, who isn’t a Twilight fan.  Be kind to him! And maybe I can get [...]
