ANOTHER SURPRISE???

Guess What...I have ANOTHER surprise for you. I would like to introduce to you another guest reviewer - Snshyne. She is my good friend from Twitter and Snshyne has agreed to be my "Angst" Reviewer. This will let me off the hook when you leave me an e-mail that says you are reading one that is so angsty you can't stand it. See...I have a confession to make. - I don't like angst that much. I know, I know, angst is like the cornerstone to the Fan Fiction World - (well, angst and lemons). I'm good with the lemons actually. I really like reading them very much. But Snshyne is going to help me out with the really angsty fics. As you can see from her picture, she is a busy lady.

Emperors of Washington by gallantcorkscrews COMPLETE


The author of Emperors of Washington, gallantcorkscrews, describes the fic like this: Edward is a killer. But it can't be explained away by his vampire nature. He's just a sociopathic, human teenager. CAN I MAKE A LOVE STORY OUT OF THIS? ExB. It's not a graphic killing spree in that she doesn't go on to describe bullets piercing arteries and the sounds of bones crushing, but the author does provide this caution: Warning: I know this sounds like I'm just trying to be edgy- but seriously, strong, strong warning. Think of the movie Natural Born Killers- only Bella won't be killing anybody. Yeah, there you go. Not that this follows that movie AT ALL, but it's in the same vein of amoral, criminal love fest. His killings aren't careless and unjustified, he has his reasons as well as a book full of calculated choices leading his expedition of madness. There are some sadder moments where you see how truly messed up Edward is as he has a hard time relating to normal human emotion. At times, it seems like the only thing keeping him alive is Bella. She does, in fact, make a love story out of this.


Call me crazy, call me depraved, call me whatever you want as long as I get to sidle up to Edward in the basement bedroom of this psychotic thriller. I literally grinned from ear to ear when I got an update on this fic. I can't lie, I was slightly put off by the description at first. When I picked up Emperors of Washington, I was still blissfully (or not so much) unaware of the realm that is mental/psycho/crazy/disturbed-ward. I can now happily say that I am no longer in that realm. The fun thing is Edward is a mess. He's dirty, he's crazy, and he's a virgin. But, in true Edward fashion, he's perfect in all those things and more. How else could he be the focus of a country wide man hunt and remain uncaught? And then there is Bella, not so sweet this time. And every time he slings that Beretta around, I find myself squealing in excitement.

Bella is jaded and uninterested in practically everything. Her life is pretty uninteresting and her friends suck. Somehow, Edward convinces her to run with him. Well, I know how and it's not his dazzling smile or sex hair. You're going to have to read and find out. I have to say that I am an Edward sympathizer to the core and Bella usually irks the piss out of me at some point or usually the entire time. But I can't recall one time where Bella in Emperors of Washington made me want to grab one of Edward's knives from his chest holster and show her the metal.


This fic is now completed and at only sixteen chapters, so luckily you don't have to wait for updates. Sadly for me, this means my life is now remiss. Emperors of Washington Edward weaseled his way into my heart with his innocent need for justice and revenge so I think you should give him a chance to do the same for you. Gallantcorkscrews is super, super sweet. She's very nice, down to earth and responsive. She humbly loves the fans of her stories and has no shame in proclaiming her fandom pride. I've had several exchanges with her, and I have to say that she is so level headed that it's almost scary- in a good way. The chapters are short and to the point, but still riveting. She doesn't have a twilighted thread, but the link to the story is below and she does respond well to PM's
