PRESENTING........107yearoldvirgin!!!!!!!


Presenting ...107yearoldvirgin! You know her from Great stories like: Into the Mystic, Progress, Maybe and Eight Days a Week (just to name a few). 107yearoldvirgin was the originator and coined the phrase "SleepHumper". She is innovative, relative, contemplative and funny as Hell!!! AND NOW she is the NEW member of the Southern Fan Fiction Review Team!!! She will be reviewing fics for us twice per month. So look for her as well as all the other wonderful reviewers here: Snshyne, MeadowC and (of course) little old Me ssherrill115.


Speaking of reviews...Look below to see 107yearoldvirgin's first review:





Crushed Seraphim by Mrs.TheKing
How does Mrs.TheKing describe this fic?  Edward catches a falling star. Bella lands in Edward's arms torn and bleeding Angel's blood. Can he help fix her and restore the world's order? Can something as simple as love be everyone's redemption? ExB Mature, explicit, cursing, playing with religion.


Okay…*deep breath* Hi, I’m 107yearoldvirgin and I’m addicted to fanfiction.


Mostly, I’m addicted to REALLY GOOD fanfiction. And most of you, if not ALL Of you, know that Mrs.TheKing gives good fic. In fact, she’s a veritable force to be reckoned with. The illustrious writer of Poughkeepsie is currently writing two gloriously different stories: GYNAZOLE, which is pee your pants and make awkward snort noises funny…and Crushed Seraphim, which is the equivalent of the Mona Lisa on paper.


Seriously. I love authors who just have beauty in their words. It captivates me. Mrs.TheKing does just that with this story. I am captivated.


Essentially, Bella is an angel from Heaven sent to Edward in a very ‘Christmas Carol’ way. She is supposed to show him his Past. Present and Future in order to save his soul and get him to believe in God. Almost everyone in this story is tragically canon, as far as I’m concerned. This is the Edward that I wish SM would have written. His demeanor, his gentleness, his ferocious undertones…his irresistible lust for Bella that he actually WANTS to act upon. All of these things make me want to do an ‘insert here’ at the beginning of Twilight.

But, Hells Bells…literally. Bella is massively un-cannon here. She’s sarcastic, fiery and angry. She thinks she’s been set up for failure because Edward is probably the hardest project she could have been handed. But, she’s also very canon in the fact that she is most likely one of THE most selfless beings that has ever roamed the Earth. She’s a walking anomaly in her speech versus her morals.


The question here is: Was Bella sent to Edward by way of God? Or another force?


The story line is thick with religious tones and discussion. If you are not open to those things, then tread lightly. The writer takes great liberty with her visions of Hell and Heaven and how things work. I, myself, am drawn to her displays and find it mesmerizing to see how she views things.


If that doesn’t draw you in…Johnny Depp is Satan. Umm…yeah. Try not being tempted by THAT.


What I love most about this story is that you’re rooting for God, Edward and Bella the entire way. She’s broken but a fighter. And Edward wants to better himself for her. The two of them together must, inevitably, save the world. And with as strange as it sounds, it’s an amazing read. Mrs.TheKing also takes review/votes at the end of every chapter to ask her audience where the next chapter should go. It’s like a Choose Your Own Adventure novel…

I mostly read humor, so let me tell you that this Bella has enough snark and wit to keep me coming back for more. The UST is as thick as Georgia red clay. And the story line is intense. Mrs.TheKing knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat: laughing, cringing, sighing and wiping away stray tears. She’s amazing and I think you’d enjoy giving this story a chance. I’m glad I did.

An amazing review 107y/ovirgin! :) *raise eyebrows* WAIT.. Johnney Depp as umm SATAN?? I really need to check this out!
Thanks! :)

Hello!!! Sorry guys, and mostly Sandy, that I have not commented. Doesn't mean I haven't been reading every review.

I love how its now like a little group, and my God...its all the fanfiction writers I love and/or the people I highly respect.

Perhaps my hands aren't swollen that bad today that I felt the need to comment. Or perhaps it was the revelation that Johnny Depp plays the Devil in this story. I'm thinking I will go with mostly choice number 2. Now...I'm a Christian and all, but Johnny Depp as the Devil?? Are you trying to steal away my soul? Jeez!!!

I must say that this story sounds quite interesting. It honestly sounds like a crackfic when you first explain it, but after the very nice and informative review I can say my crackfic alarms silenced a bit.

I will try and read this story. I've so much to catch up on right now, but I thank you so much...all of you...for being so kind to give your suggestions. Every once and while I will go on the FF.net and do what I used to do. Go into the hell and chaos that is Twilight fanfiction main page. Going through each story haphazardly. I always used to get so upset because I would run into so much crappy fanfiction. But here...I take your suggestions and I find a new favorite. So thank you.

Love ya Sandy!! See ya later.

Thank you so much for this beautiful review 107! Oh my. I think I'm going to print it out and take it to my tattoo guy. I'm going to have him tattoo it on my back.

And Satan thinks you look sinfully delicious today, he's holding out a glass of wine and suggesting you take a sip...slowly. ~MTK

I just love this story! It is so well-written (I mean it's MrsTheKing, duh!) and this Bella is one of the best Bella's I've read ! Every time I want to root against the Devil, all I can think of is Johnny Depp *sigh*. Everyone needs to run over and read this, it is truly amazing!
