So we’re Gisela (with the glasses) and Lily (blue
scarf). We met on the campout line
for the Breaking Dawn Panel at Comic-Con last year and totally bonded over our
love of Twilight, Robert Pattinson and Twi-fan fiction! We further “cemented” our friendship
over our L.A. Breaking Dawn Premiere campout experience (that’s where our picture
is from – the fan “pit” on the red carpet as we waited for the stars to arrive)
and are both really excited about the Twific Meet Up and sharing time in Las
Vegas.
Gisela
I go by the name mad4hugh on everywhere - Twitter,
fanfic.net, Twilighted, etc. I’m
#&^Y# (read that to mean over 40.
Heh), single, and an accountant living in Kingston, NY - a small city a couple
hours north of New York City.
I picked up the book ‘Twilight’ at the beginning of November
2008. I totally became “hooked”
and read it within 24 hours….in searching for info on the book series at
Stephenie Meyers website and saw that there was movie coming out before Thanksgiving. The movie not only solidified by love
for the books, but introduced me to Robert Pattinson (yum-o!).
After reading (and rereading) all the books, I yearned for
more, and was - like most – dissatisfied with the “fade to black” nature of the
stories and that’s how I found fanfic.
I’ve been reading fanfic since December 2008 - I think my first vamp story was
“The List” by Laura Cullen (definite “cure” for the “fade to black”-syndrome)
and my first AU story (or should I say “First fic I ever became obsessed with?")
was “Wide Awake”. How bad’s my
love of fanfic? I am reading fic
constantly on my phone or Nook! I love all genres – sometimes I can’t take
“heavy angst”, though. I’ve had to take a hiatus from reading certain fics when
it just got too heavy….I can be such a wuss! I’m totally a whore for just about any Edward – I’m totally an
E/B-shipper (unless it’s slash, then E/J).
Anyway, Twilight and my love of fan fiction have led me to
do and see some amazing things (me at a red carpet movie premiere in L.A. I
never would have imagined it!), and met some incredibly talented and lovely
people. I’m really looking forward
going to Vegas and attending the TFMU to meet other fanfic lovers – none of my
family and friends in my everyday life are into ANY of this!
Other likes/loves, passions and hobbies (in no particular
order): Hugh Jackman, Robert
Pattinson (Good Lord! Some of the
pics from Cannes nearly killed me!), travelling (Hawaii and Australia’s are a
couple of my favorite places I’ve been to), Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse series/True Blood, spending
time with friends, shopping, movies, the snark of Joan Rivers and Kathy
Griffin, Michael Fassbender, good food, a nice drink, live theater – concerts,
plays, dance, musicals, museums.
Lily
Hi ladies! I'm Lilian @michiamoelle
(on twitter) but everyone calls me Lily. 25, born and raised in Los Angeles, CA
and like G said we met about a year ago and have maintained a beautiful
friendship since then. IDK many people in RL that are into Twi/FFn/Rob like I
am so finding G has made life more fun.
I had no idea what Twilight was until
I saw the trailer about a month before the movie came out, went to see the
movie opening day by myself and then read all 4 books during christmas vacation
in 3 days.
I am of course Team Edward but am
moreso Team Robert, so excited about his upcoming projects and will be
definitely be showing my support for years to come.
I remember reading a little FFn prior
to the release of 'New Moon' but during the campout heard about 'Master of The
Universe' and how I should definitely read it. I honestly fic dive every day
and had seen MOTU on the site but was turned off by the description, thought it
wasn't my cup of tea. Boy, was I wrong!
Read it and fell in love with the man that everyone apparently knows all
about now, very proud to say that I have been a Fifty fan since '09. I laughed
and cried and became very protective of that character. Which leads into the
fact that I am a total Angst h00r, hell even at @kygirltwo made me/us an angst
shirt (available on Zazzle) since I asked her to. Something about Brokenward
just draws me in, probably just because he's so vulnerable and that's nice to
see in a man.
Other interests: YA novels (loved
Divergent), Dancing (Latin+Ballroom), Baking, Singing, musicals and concerts;
really into Country music atm.
I will probably be a little shy but
so excited to meet y'all and can't wait to have some fun since I think we all
need a vacation and time to ourselves/with girlfriends :).
I'm calling you two the DYNAMIC DUO! Wow, thank you so much for sharing! We can't wait to meet you in Vegas!!
SEE YOU SOON! O.O
