Twifans band together to help Haiti


image by carenl, borrowed from mskathy's blog

This past Tuesday, a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti. It was the worst since 1770 and destroyed most of the capital of Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. According to the Red Cross 1 in 3 Haitians were affected by the quake. That's approximately 3 million people in need of emergency aid in a country considered to be the poorest in the Western hemisphere.

Around the world, people are organizing to help and the Twifandom is no different. Amazing fanfic author, mskathy has made the following offer to those who donate at least $5 to the relief efforts: The Haiti Relief Twi FanFic Authors Compilation.

Donate at least $5 to a charity of your choice, to help Haiti, and you will receive a compilation of varying length pieces (not necessarily lemony, not necessarily TwiFic) from the over ninety fanfic authors that have volunteered already. Please donate NOW. Then go here and sign up to receive what promises to be an amazing collection of fiction!

Tay-Tay's in the house!

When I entered into Mrs. V's great contest I didn't really think I'd win. I don't normally win these sorts of contests. But when I saw I was about to be the proud owner of a new Twi-figurine, I knew just who I wanted:



No, no, I'm not Team Jacob (seriously, Cutie!!!) but I do love the idea of having this great little guy around to stage epic battles with (UYP, when are you coming to town so we can cause some mischief with these little guys???????).

So thank you, once again, Mrs. V, for my new dolly, for having the contest in the first place and for just being an amazing bloggy friend. I'm so lucky to have found you!!!!

And for your enjoyment, here are the pictures of what happened when Jacob tore his way out of his nice brown box:


What the F@$%, Foxy!!!! Who the HALE is this???


URGGGG!!!!! I....AM....TAY-TAY!!! OPF is my girl now!


Jacob: Oh noes!!!!!! Edward, who is this giant!
Edward: Stay still, Jacob! These small foxes can smell fear.
They feed off it.


Edward: Please, little foxy girl, I'm begging you.
Don't make me kiss the dog.
He stinks!!!
Jacob: You're no rose yourself, leech!
