UnderLilacSkyes chapter 1 . 7/12/2014
I must admit, I quite enjoyed this. Breaking Dawn seriously bugged me. First off, Renesmee (which is a stupid name, by the way) was never supposed to be posible. Wasn't a large chunk of Edward's argument devoted to the fact that because he was a vampire, she would be giving up the possibility of having children? Meyer spends three books building up all of Edward's reasons for denying her, and they prove to be false in the end.

Also, I find Bella's actions (though, she did learn to stand up and fight for herself) kind of rediculous. In Twilight, she goes to James so that he doesn't go after the Cullens. In New Moon, she braves the Volturi to save Edward's life. In Eclipse, she basically throws herself at a bloodthirsty killer to protect his life once again. And now, after all of that she's going to throw her life away for someone she does not know, and is killing her. Doesn't she know that Edward is just going to commit suicide if she dies?

Another thing, is that the whole story is no longer about Bella and Edward, like it should be, but about protecting the demon child. The demon child that has like a couple sentences of dialog. What happened to Bella's hatred of children?

Anyways, thank you for listening to me rant. Your story was awesome.

Hmmm, yeah this is pretty awesome! And Breaking Dawn, well I think it was... interesting?

Okay let's be honest here, Twilight jumped the shark. I mean seriously? Edward buys Bells a new car, Jacob crashes the wedding, Honeymoon is on a privet island, Bella gets preg, Edward becomes even more strange! Then Rosalie becomes nice, we spend one third of the book reading about Jacob ranting about how unfair his life was! Then there's Renesme, the imprinting... and by now my fingers are hurting!

I mean come on! Hasn't Stephenie Meyer every heard the words OVER DONE! It also bothers me how the only time in the series that Bella ever seemed to grow a backbone was when she was protecting a fantom-baby thing! It's just ridiculous!

Meh, it was interesting I'll admit... But this fanfic just settled a lot of my worries! So thankyou, thankyou so so so much for writing this! It was sooooo incredibly funny and I commend you on your creativity!

And again... THANKYOU :D

Snigger! Venom-proof condoms. Makes me think of this story I read, where Edward and Emmett went to Wal-Mart looking for condoms and asked the female clerk if they'd contain rattlesnake venom. Way too funny. I agree, lots of BD sucked, so you're story was cool!

Thank you for this. It's nice to know there are people out there who hated Breaking Dawn as much as I did. It was such a let down. Stephanie Meyer spent three books telling us how vampires are frozen in time and can't have children, but then we are supposed to accept that Edward can knock Bella up. Really? Plus, (I know this is not usually an acceptable sentiment, but in this situation I feel justified) I hate that kid. Hated everything about her, from her name to her mere existence. The whole book became about her. Where was the romance from the other three books? It was just gone and everything was about Renesmee. And then top it off with Jacob imprinting on her, it was just disturbing. Breaking Dawn was like a really bad fanfiction.

ElectrikViolin chapter 1 . 12/30/2009
I enjoyed this. Very much. Needless to say I thought Breaking Dawn was strange and unnecessary. Jacob imprinting on Renesmee? GAG. And I hated how all of a sudden everything was about Renesmee, I mean Edward was solely focused on her, Jacob forgot Bella entirely, and Bella was all "Who's Edward? I love Renesmee."

If only it was really a dream...

Thank you for writing this, it's way better LOL I think the only one who saved BD was Jake's POV, except the imprinting on that THING, of course.
