-will refrain because she doesn't want to get shot- :P

*watches Kita warily while putting the gun away*

-snickers-
Nope, I've closed my Twilight/drug references drawer. XD

Alright then.... *still looks suspicious*

So. I'm kinda sorta working on an animation spoof of New Moon. I like my script so far, but the animation process is so tedious. D:
I can show the script though, if anyone wants to see it.

I wanna seeeee. D:

Otay, I'll copypasta.
Just a few quick things:
Things put between dashes are actions/descriptions of the scenes. Things put in asteriks are text that will be actually displayed during the animation.
Text emoticons are denoting the facial expressions they'll have when they say whatever it is
Dialogue from one person that is on mulitple lines means that the first line will disappear before the second shows up, so there won't be this massive paragraph popping up on screen.
Most of the facial expressions aren't written down, just the ones that I felt were important.
Tchaivosky is a Russian composer dude who wrote this one classical piece that is very frequently used in romantic scenes. I can't describe it, but you'd know it if you heard it
The I Am A Vampire song part may be removed, I'm not sure
All Alone is a song that I may or may not put in when it's mentioned in the script

I know, tons of notes. xD But this was written just for my own reference, so I didn't have to explain everything, I could just put little notations in the dashes.

-Edward and Bella are standing together. Bella watches Edward adoringly, Edward looks annoyed-
Bella - Trouble crossed the brow of my perfect Greek God boyfriend.
Edward - <_<
Bella - His amber, butterscotch, topaz, ocher, molten gold eyes shifted my way, but it was not with the adoring look that he usually bestowed upon me.
But to even have him in my presence was enough to make my life joyous.
Who could not be happy in the presence of an archangel so perfect as my Edward?
Edward - God... -rolls eyes-
Bella - He rolled his perfectly perfect amber, butterscotch, topaz, ocher, molten gold eyes.
Edward - :|
Bella - His perfect, sparkling mouth tightened into a hard line.
Edward - >_>
Bella - All was hard with Edward. Vampires had granite, marble, granite skin that was sparkley.
I briefly wondered if everything about Edward was hard.
-looks down- I couldn't help myself as my eyes trailed down to his-
Edward - OKAY, BELLA.
WE GET IT.
I'M PERFECT AND MY EYES ARE PRETTY AND MY SKIN IS AWESOME.
OKAY.
WE GET IT.
WE REALLY DO.
Bella - His velvet cried out at me.
Edward - Sweet Jesus, do you have an off button?
Bella - His perfect Greek God skin glinted softly in the overcast. It was perfect.
Edward - I think I'm going mad. -crazy smile-
Bella - He smiled my favorite, perfect crooked smile.
Edward - Would a shot to the head kill me, I wonder?
Bella - He was beautifully perfect, my archangel, as he mumbled quietly to himself.
Edward - I've really got to get you a thesaurus.
Bella - What a perfectly perfect idea. :)

-LATER-

-at a birthday party. Jasper, Bella, Edward, Alice, Rosalie-
Alice - OMG BELLA I GOT YOU A MILLION THINGS
BECAUSE YOU DRESS BADLY.
I LIKE CLOTHES AND SHOPPING.
I FORESEE THAT YOU WON'T LIKE THE CLOTHES. BUT I DON'T REALLY CARE.
Rosalie - I hate you for liking that bitch, Alice!
Alice - WOULD A NEW DRESS HELP CHEER YOU UP, ROSE?
Rosalie - Probably.
-Alice and Rosalie walk off-
Bella - Oh god, everyone's paying attention to me!
Edward - Probably because you're describing them all in flowery detail aloud.
Bella - His perfect voice informed me.
Edward - Dammit, Bella! Stop narrating!
Bella - A wave of rejection washed over me. :(
Edward - *sigh*
Bella - Oh! That time of the month! Bathroom!!! -runs off-
Emmett - Hey, Edward.
-Edward turns around-
-Jasper's eyes get big-
Emmett - How do we, y'know... not go to town on her when she's on her period?
Edward - Shh! You weren't supposed to think of that!
-Jasper runs off-
Emmett - Oh, yeah, right, sorry.
-fists in the air- GO GATORS! WOOOOO! -runs off-
-off screen- WOOO!
-Bella comes back-
Bella - Is anyone paying attention to me?
Edward - No.
Bella - Everyone in the room faintly glimmered with a perfect, beautiful glow.
Edward - Okay, yeah, now they are.
-Carlisle walks up-
Carlisle - Edward, have you seen your brother?
Edward - He's over there.
Eating rocks and punching things all manly-like.
Carlisle - No, not Emmett.
Jasper.
Edward - Well, he was right here....
-Everyone looks around-
Edward - Hmm...
-Jasper walks in with a bloody tampon in his mouth, and another in his hand-
Bella - O_O -over exaggerated blush-
Edward - Jasper....
Jasper - Hmm?
Edward - Are those... used... tampons...?
Jasper - Mmhmm.
Edward - ._ .
Carlisle - Jasper! No! Bad boy! Give!
Jasper - Grrrrrr
Carlisle - -smacks Jasper with rolled up newspaper- No! Bad!
Jasper - -drops tampons- *whimper* :(
Edward - -picks up tampons- I'M the only one allowed to eat her tampons!
Bella - WHAT?
Edward - Nothing. -puts tampons in pocket/behind back- -pulls out pen- -gets in front of Jasper- *scribble scribble* -backs away-
-Jasper has ASS written on his forehead-
Jasper - :(
I can't help it!
I'm a vampire!
-dances sadly to I Am A Vampire song-

-later-

Edward - Hey, I got you a gift.
Bella - You know I hate any sign of affection!
Edward - Please?
Bella - Fine.
-Edward pulls out book-
Edward - Tada! It's a thesaurus!
Bella - IT'S THE PERFECTEST PERFECT GIFT I COULD HAVE EVER RECEIVED FROM MY ARCHANGEL, GREEK GOD, BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT BOYFRIEND!
Edward - Please. Use it.
Bella - -opens book- Hmm.... "topaz:".... "butterscotch, amber, ocher, gold"....
"See: Edward"
*flipflipflip*
"Edward: perfect, archangel, greek god, beautiful, dazzling, sparkly, perfect, granite, marble, perfe-"
Edward - OH FUCKING HELL!
FUCK THIS!
FUCK YOU!
I'M OUTTA HERE! -Edward storms off-
Bella - -looks up- -looks around- -pause- OH GOD WORLD ENDING. *falls over*

Bella - Life is not worth living.
I cannot go on without my perfect angel.
It's been so long since I've seen that perfect crooked smile....
I can bear to live this life no longer!
I must take my own life!
In the most round-a-bout, convoluted way possible!
By riding bikes with a werewolf.
-pause-
What? Werewolf?
There's no such thing as werewolves.
No one has ever basically told me that they were a werewolf.
Lol, I'm silly. :D

-later-
Bella - JAKE!!!!
Jake - BELLA!!!!
-Tchaivosky-
-awkward pause-
Bella - ...Well that was awkward.
Jake - Uh, yeah, sorry about that.
I have this external soundtrack thing.
It's a werewolf thing.
Bella - What? Werewolf?
Jake - What?
Bella - What?
Jake - What?
Bella - What?
Jake - girlwhowillsleepwithmesayswhat.
Bella - What?
Jake - Score. :D
Bella - Hey, can I use you and toy with your emotions for my own personal gain?
Jake - Hell yeah.
You know I'm game for manipulation.
Bella - Cool. Wanna fix up a bike and ride them with me?
Jake - Will it make me look manly?
Bella - Yeah.
Jake - Then yes.
HEY DAD!
-Billy comes on-
I'm going out with Bella.
Bella - DOUBLE ENTENDRE.
Jake - See you later.
Billy - You kids have fun.
-Jake and Bella leave-
Billy - ..... -looks around-
-Dances to the Hamster dance-

:rofl:

That was great, Cherry. :'D

:D Glad you think so.
I was worried that I'd be the only one giggling at my script. xD Then that'd just be lame. xD

XD But I was giggling too, so don't worry.

At least if we're the only ones, we can be lame together. :lol:

Oh, Cherry, you know you never fail to make us giggle. xDD

"See: Edward"
*flipflipflip*
"Edward: perfect, archangel, greek god, beautiful, dazzling, sparkly, perfect, granite, marble, perfe-"
Edward - OH FUCKING HELL!

GREATEST THING EVAR.

Cherry that is awesome. xD
Trust me, you're not the only one giggling!

Fabby: That's the bit that made me laugh the most xDD

:D

I'm slowly working on animating it now. I've got all the characters drawn up, I just need to put them in the scenes, edit their expressions for each frame, add text, etc.
I'm thinking about making a quick teaser. It wouldn't distract much from making the actual thing, since it'll be really quick.
But I've got like, 25+ youtube subscribers waiting for the video, so I thought it'd be good to let them know that I haven't forgotten/died and I am working on it.
Here's the character sheet, if you're interested
(My animation sux, I know. xD It's supposed to be really lame.)
Top row from left to right: Edward, Jake, Rosalie, Emmett
Bottom row from left to right: Jasper, Alice, Bella, Billy, Carlisle
Yeah, Esme isn't in it. xD; *shot*
Maybe I'll put her in part 2 or something.

You're such an awesome artist. xD

My opinion varies greatly from book to book. All and all, I wasn't that impressed, but I prefer my vampire books to be more like Anee Rice, than a high school love story that just happens to involve vampires- a Twilight loving friend of mine actually put the plot of the book that way, and I decided it was a good way to describe it.

I think I would have liked the series more if there had been more complexity to it- the characters, plot, etc. It was all too shallow for me. Don't get me wrong, I liked the characters, but... where was the elaboration on them? Even Bella didn't seem to develop much throughout the series.

As for my opinions on the books... I HATED Twilight. I wanted to toss it out a window. I guessed everything that would happen, and I just did not like it. I wouldn't have touched New Moon if my cousin had not given it to me. I liked the first half of New Moon, but then is really started dragging, and I ended up liking it about as much as I liked the first book... Again, I only touched Eclipse becuse my cousin gave it to me. Ecilpse, I liked all right. It dragged up my opinion of the series enough to make me want to read Breaking Dawn. I went to the midnight release party, more as something to do than as REALLY wanting it. I mean, I wanted it, but I didn't care if I couldn't get it at midnight and ahd to come later in the day.

Breaking Dawn, I liked ALOT. ...Until the end. Then I was like, "What? You build up to a fight that doesn't even happen!? No! D:" And it was all so happy bubblegum gumdrops unicorns pooping rainbows, I just didn't like that. I did like all the cool vampired we were introduced to, though... And one had the same name as me and it made me happy inside. :D

That's because in an epic battle like that, one of her precious characters would have to die. e__e

Fabby - FO SHO.
I could do better if I felt like it, I just... don't. xD I don't want to spend that much time on it. xD As it is, it takes me about four hours to draw up all the frames to a three minute clip, and then another hour or two to put it in movie-form. >>
Plus, when you don't have a tablet, it's basically not worth trying unless you're SUPER good. Because then you just look even worse. xD So I don't try. And the result is sort of cute, I think. xD
I dunno. I like my doodles. :D

Iltu - I was pretty pissed that none of the vampires had the same name as me. xD When all those names started popping up, I was hoping my name would. But nooooooooooooooo. xD
CHRISTINE IS A GOOD VAMPIRE NAME, DAMMIT! >:

But anyway, yeah, I totally agree with you. They are by far not the best books out there. I openly admit that. But they're a guilty pleasure for me, I guess. xD I know they suck, I just... don't care. xD (Which is rare for me)

I think they're pretty cute, too, in a scribbly kind of way.

My name is a bad vampire name. 'Fabby' just isn't menacing... >_>

Anne Rice? -ears perk up-
Perhaps Iltu should join Kita's social group, Vampire Fiction Lovers. :yes:

I pretty much agree with you, especially on the 4th book. Can you say "Anticlimactic"? :D Lol.

But yeah. I'm with Cherry, Twilight is my guilty pleasure. ;P

Fabby: Rawr. I'm Fabby! -hisses-
Victim: Pfffftttt... xD Er...I mean...and? o.o
Fabby: O.o; I VANT TO SUCK JOOR BLOOD! D:<
Victim: Sure you do! n_n -pats her head-
Fabby: ._.;; ....GRR! I SHALL RIP YOUR THROAT OUT!! D:<
Victim?: Hehehe! xD Right, right. And I'm going into a job in the stock exchange. -walks away-
Fabby: =___=; -goes to file name-change forms-

Hmm...I think Christa would have been a good vampire name, but perhaps not.
I had my own vampire character once named Christabelle, who was, of course, essentially me, thus my name with -Belle tacked at the end. ;P
I've thought about changing my name legally to Christabelle too, when I was younger. :lol:

P.S. Cherry- Your doodles are win. <3

Fabby- *snrk* Good point! Ah, I can see where not wanting her characters to die comes from... All of my characters are very dear to me, killing them off is heart-wrenching. But if the plot demands it, I do it. I think the way the plot of Breaking Dawn was set up demanded a death besides a minor character but... it didn't happen. And the book suffered.

But I just totally started talking about people getting killed off when we were talking about the battle. So sorry for deviating, but your statement made me think of that.

And also, Fabby is a fantastic vampire name! D:

Cherry- Christine is a good vampire name also! I like it for a modern-ish type vampire. It's like... Feminine, but still strong, if that makes any sense? ...There totally should have been a vampire named Christine. *nods*

Kita- Oooooo, maybe Iltu should take a look at said social group. :O Thing is, I've read no vampire fiction besides Anne Rice and Twilight! D:

Ugh, I know. It was all tense, building, building, building... And then poof. Nada. It made me kind of mad. Like, Stephanie Meyer spent HOW many hundreds of pages preparing us for it, and then she was just like "PSYCH! 8D" I mean, for all that happened, she might as well have just ended the book before the impending confrontation was ever an issue.

Sorry.. but since my sister's name is Christine, I say no! XD But in reality, it is a pretty good vamp name.

I was incredibly upset about the ending as well. There just needed to be some death, even if it might have lead to crying and angst.

My boyfriend and I thought (before BD came out) that an actual known character dying would be a good way to end it. We thought Jake would be a prime candidate.
But of course, Stephenie is waayyy too protective of her characters. >> We all know that she would rather do what's best for them than what's best for the story (I'm not saying that Jake dying would have been best).
But now I'm glad that Jake didn't die. SOMEONE should have, though.

I think Edward should have died.... SORRY!

-dodges fangirls/boys and sharp objects-

I mean, Jacob dying wouldn't have effected the story much other than Renesmee, and destroy the potential "Future Hope" because Renesmee would never have her special other.

Bella dying would have been too... Bella-like. XD

-splutters-
D8

....-throws Cherry at Queenie-
(Lol @ fangirl comment. ;P)

Iltu:: I've just read Anne Rice, Laurell K. Hamilton, and Twilight. -luffs on Laurell K. Hamilton's books- >.>

I was kind of mad too, because...I mean...I was all prepared for a character I loved to die, and then she just made it all sunshine and rainbows at the end. I mean, even Charlie got matched up with someone. DX It was so pathetic.
I think the death would have been better... >_>

But NOT Edward! D:
-goes to find out where Cherry landed- >w>;

I really expected for the fight not to happen. I knew she wouldn't let anyone die, so it kind of killed the suspense for me.
Personally, I think that getting attached enough to your characters where you ruin the end of your book over it marks a bad author.

@Kit-- Heh. That's exactly how it would go, too.
My.. uh.. not-Fabby name isn't a good vampire name either.
Not that Fabby isn't written in on my birth certificate or anything.

My name appears in the book! xD
Not very often though, Jared imprinted on me :P
My name's Kim by the way just in case anyone didn't know who he imprinted on.

In regards to the ending, I'm gonna put it in white just so I don't spoil it for someone by accident.
I'm one of those that really wanted the happy ending ... I just couldn't see her killing any of them and that made me happy xD I would have been gutted if any of them had died so I am uberly content with how it ended. ^^
