SuperMoon to You All

It’s the largest full moon in 20 years.  Although, I’m sure it’s going to be very impressive my favourite full moon is…

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

So if the moon is tied to lunacy, I’m sure this lil’ Fairy will be even crazier for Eric Northman/Askars.  Be afraid!!

SuperMoon Must Reads

In order to feed your beast tonite, how about trying some of these great fics that I’ve been reading:

Chasing My Tail by Overwhelmed (Aka FanoftheFang)~ This is an Alcide & Maria Star Fic that will have you howling.  AAAARRROOOO ~ Were Lemons ALERT!! It a fun one~shot that is hot & sweet.

Pretty Kitty by ficlit78 ~ Keeping with the animal theme tonite, how about a sweet innocent tabby helping to get our favourite lovers together? This True Blood fic starts after Sookie returns from the Fae realm.  Eric needs to se her and finds that Sookie has a new pet.  See how this pet will help them come to terms with there feelings.  It will definitely have you purring.

Metronome by GLee68~ I feel so naughty loving this fic, but I do,  I don’t even want to spoil this one~shot.  There’s Eric, Sookie & Beeeeel; there’s a bit of BDSM; It’s hot & funny….aaaaaannnd Sookie stays a virgin??? WTF??? Gotta read it!!!

True Desires by SharaMoon ~ This fab fic is from the True Blood Fandom and takes place during the last scene from Season 3 and goes from there.  I love this story.  First I have to mention that there is a rant here from Sookie to Bill that will have you pumping your fist in the air and yelling “You go, girl!” Next is the relationship that develops between Sookie & Eric which is filled with so much passion.  It is a Truly Desirable story that you’ll find difficult to put down

Courtesan of the Dead by Southern Lady 23

~ Of course you all remember me giving this wonderful fic a delicious review.  I just had to mention that our lovely SouthernLady23 has set up a preview of her new chapter.  That’s nothing new, Fairy….OOOO my dear Readers, if you haven’t started reading this story yet, maybe this will wet your appetite. …  (NSFW Warning ~ DO NOT read this at work, Southern Lady would feel really bad if you get fired ~Delicious Porn Ahead!! )

Chapter 12 - A Lemon of Epic Proportions

Notice: SouthernLady 23 will be in the Fangreaders Chatroom

28th of March at 9pm GMT (4pm EST)

Also I would like to recommend the Fangreaders Reading List.  This is the list of Fics that our Group is reading and plan to chat about this month.  We have had most of these authors in the Chatroom to talk about their stories as well as about themselves.  Please check out what the Fangreaders are reading here on my main blog site or on the Fangreaders Blog.

As you all know, I started the Fangreaders Chatroom back in January of this year, and it has expanded and developed into THE place for Authors and Readers to get together and chat fanfics, meet new fanfic authors, chat about True Blood, discuss the SVM Books as well as having a laugh. 

The Indie Fic Competition

We have our own fanfic competition called the Indie Fic which has just opened for submissions.  If you are new to writing fanfics, this would be a great competition for you.  It will have blind judging, but the winner will be pimped out to the SVM Fandom. We’ll make sure that your fic will get noticed and help increase your fanbase. 

Just take any of the original characters from the books or True Blood and set it in an Alternate Universe.  Original characters are welcome, too.  Please CLICK HERE for more info.

The Squee Heard ‘Round the World

Yes, I’m sure most of you have seen some of the vids from the Paleyfest where we were given a sneak peak of the promo for Season 4.  For those of you, who haven’t….

Here it is…

Waiting Sucks

Yes, Eric will have amnesia!!! 

Let’s just hope he doesn’t forget what a great lover he is or how the freakin shower works!!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Now I know there are those bloggers out there who are sceptical of us getting what we Eric fans have been waiting for the last 3 seasons.  I know AB has screwed around with our favourite scenes….”yield to me” *sobs*  …pink spandex…saving Sookie from the maenad…(ewww did I just say that name, blah)…”my little bullet-sucker”…the list is a long as the Gracious Plenty.  However, I am still holding the faith that Mr. Ball will not disappoint us this season.

Otherwise, I’ll have to gather all the girls , go find Mr. Ball, and have a reasonable discussion with him….

As I was last year, your Fairy will talk the Good, the Bad and the Naked of True Blood.   So stay tuned~

“Yes, Beeel this is Eric’s season. You dead piece of shit!!!”

Peace and Love, Man

At the risk of sounding like a flower child, I’m asking our fandom to stop the negativity.  We have a fantastic fandom full of brilliant and beautiful fans that are authors and readers alike.  We all have real lives that are full of negativity that is beyond our control~ flood, earthquakes, starvation, and wars not to mention our personal life’s stresses.  It pains me to read about a talented author getting flamed by a reader or a reader being insulted by an author.  Why!!!???  In the scheme of things is there any reason to be mean to one another.  My answer is no.  One of the things I love about our fandom is the mix of ideas.  Everybody has the right to their opinion, but there is always a positive way to get your point across. 

I’ve debated about listing all the things I’ve witnessed that really hurt our fandom as a whole, but I’ve decided to list ways to be positive instead. 

•  Don’t interact with your negative thoughts
• Ask others the end their verbal negativity
• We can inject more understanding, acceptance and compassion into our attitude.
• We might also try focusing our attention on something more positive. We might think about the people or situations differently or find appreciation in them. What we attune to is what we see and experience. We have a choice of where we place our focus.

To Readers, I would ask to be mindful of the fact that this is fanfiction.  Authors have creative licence to all aspects of the characters and stories.  These may not be particular to your tastes, so find another story.  There’s no reason to be hurtful to an author that has exposed themselves in order to develop their craft.  Someone else may like that particular story.  Also, some of the authors are very new and may not have the confidence to withstand such attacks.  If you want to continue reading fanfic, we had better show some support for the authors that give it to us.  They receive no money for what they are doing and yet they are willing to share their time and talent with us.

To authors, I would ask to stop and think when you read a review.  Is the review a negative one?  Can you take what has been said and turn it into something positive?  Please keep in mind that we readers can get caught up in your stories and can feel passionately about them.  This is a credit to your writing.  As with authors, readers that take the time to review should to some extent be appreciated as well even if it isn’t beautifully written~ what can I say not all of us have the talents you have.   A simple “Thank You for reading” is a lovely way to acknowledge that you’ve taken the time to read the review.  Then there are those reviews that make me very ashamed.  Those that are intending to be hateful.  All I can say is after 20 years in the Hospitality Industry, Kill them with kindness!!!  Nothing will piss off a jerk more than coming back all sweetness and light.  If the reviewer doesn’t get a reaction from you they will lose interest.  If they get a rude reply back, they will continue.  This is life, it ain’t perfect.  All I can ask is please don’t paint all readers with the same brush. 

  Ok, The Fairy is stepping down off the soapbox *bows*

Fairy’s Recommended Reading

• A Fun Fairytale Story~ Black Dead Orchids  Redneck Rapunzel
• Check out Fangalious Fan Fiction ~ There’s a great interview with YoungBoho by our beautiful SouthernLady23 and her Fangalicious James.  Be sure to keep your eyes on the cookies. *wink*

• Lemon Alert~ Looking for something to warm you up?  Check out Lubadubs’ “An Exploration of the Wild Side"~ If you’re a fan of the Night Huntress Series, I’m sure you’ll love the present Eric gives his wife, Sookie for their anniversary.

Revisit The Fics I’ve enjoyed

One of my readers, Gabiyabi, mentioned to me about Meg2’s Dead Series, The Irish Series, and the Post “Dead and Gone Series”.  Although I have not finished the Post Dead and Gone Series, specifically “Paridiso”, I can not recommend all of these fics enough.  They are all beautifully written and you will lose yourself in the world that Meg2 has created.  Her banter between Eric & Sookie is incredibly charming and expressive.  Definitely set a good deal of time aside, because once you start reading you will continue through the whole series hungry for more.  Click HERE to get to Meg2’s Profile where she lists the order stories for each series.  Thank you Gabiyabi for reminding me how wonderful these stories are.  *Big Kisses*

I Can’t Wait For June

With a few more months to go, I’m finding myself incredibly excited for season 4 of True Blood.  Seeing our hot Swede going to all these parties looking delicious makes me even more impatient.  Alan Ball had better deliver a Northman-filled season with very little wardrobe.  I have the basement already for him if it isn’t.

And yes, I want a shower scene!!
