RobHoliday Season Caption Contest! Caption Robert Pattinson in Madrid to win a prize!

T'was the night before RobHoliday Season,
And all through the dark recesses...
Not a female was sleeping,
Because ROBsessing shatters them to pieces.

HO HO HO! Merry ROBmas! 

We officially kickoff the festivities tomorrow, Dec. 1st, but we're so pumped up, we wanted to start the season of giving now! Rob The Giver inspires us. :)

While we have many things planned throughout the month (ROBsessed Holiday Video Challenge, ROBsessed Advent Calendar Surprise, 12 Days of ROBmas, Cosmopolis Countdown Giveaway, ROBsessed Awards, 365 Days of ROB), our first treat is we're hosting a caption contest, each week, all season long! More about the rules and prizes below but first....

CAPTION THIS!!!



Caption Contest Guidelines: 

• To enter, write a caption for the picture in the comment section.

• The contest is open worldwide & you have until 9pm (PST) Sunday, Dec. 2nd, to enter.

Now for the prize!

• Winner: You'll win the eBook version of the newly released (Nov. 25, 2012) Wallbanger by Alice Clayton
• Runner up: You'll win the eBook versions of the 2010 series, The Unidentified Redhead and The Redhead Revealed, by Alice Clayton

I've been an avid Twilight fanfic reader for over three and half years. I also know many of you venture into that world so you might be familiar with a guy who had a tendency to bang some walls. ;) Well that Wallbanger is now a published Wallbanger.

I have vivid memories of being curled up in my leopard Snuggie on the streets of Westwood, camping for New Moon premiere, and reading. One of the fanfics I was reading was this story. It was fun (and funny), sexy (with sex), and I loved figuring out which version of Rob matched Wallbanger in my mind. I do that with all fics, don't you? Since VFRob was a big deal back in Nov. 2009, he influenced my Robmatch when I read this line: I could picture him: soft faded jeans, hiking boots a la Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles, off-white Irish cable knit turtleneck sweater, hair all in disarray.

Oh yeah. I'd like to go to there.


The publisher for Wallbanger has graciously given us 5 copies of the eBook to giveaway to our readers! For the next 5 weeks, we'll be gifting out Wallbanger and Alice Clayton's first series for the runner-up. The publisher has another gift for us after the season but we'll tell you about that giveaway later. ;)

Here's what Alice had to say about fan fiction, Wallbanger and Rob:

Fan fiction gave me a voice. It gave me a community. It gave me the courage to trust my sense of silly and throw it all at the wall and see what would stick. Writing fan fiction was the single most broadening experience of my adult life. Other than Shirtless Rob Day. Which is still the best day ever. (Tink: AMEN.)

Wallbanger was such a fun story for me to write, and while I wasn't sure if I would ever publish it, it just kept calling to me. Or thumping to me, yeah thumping. That's how Wallbanger rolls. I had to put it back out there, I had to trust that this story, regardless of where it came from, was strong enough to stand on its own. And the response has been overwhelming. I'm so proud of this book, and the community it came from. When each chapter of Wallbanger went up, I got emails from readers around the world, telling me what they liked and what they loved. What made them laugh and what made them mad. And as new readers discover the story of Pink Nightie Girl and her Wallbanger, they tell me the same things. It's amazing.

The publisher shared some more info with us about Alice's Redhead series and her inspiration for a certain character. If you wished Rob became more than a cat named Clive in published work then you'll love this excerpt from the author, Alice Clayton :)

So we've been beating around the bush for two weeks now, and I think its time for me to officially and without question declare my love for everyone's favorite Brit. I love me some Rob. I love me some Rob with a love that is unholy and bordering on frightening. I would break that guy. But while he is most certainly handsome, and most certainly smack-you-in-the-head swoonworthy, what I adore most about Rob is his wit. His Brit wit. The guy is FUNNY. Someone please explain to me why he has not hosted SNL because he would kill it!! Was he the inspiration for Jack in my Redhead Series? Oh hell yes. And next week, everyone here is gonna get a sneak peek at Book 3 from The RedheadSeries, stay tuned! But for today, let us simply revel in the otherworldy beauty that is The Robert and The Pattinson. I would commit more than a few crimes to be able to have him over for tea. Ahem...

Sounds like one of you guys in the DR is Alice! I second that motion that Rob should host SNL or star in another comedy, STAT! Did that increase your interest in the runner-up prize or what?? :)

Alice had one more lovely thing to share about her fanfic experience and the Twilight community. I think we can all relate to what she says about the relationships that have come from the community as a whole:

The other part about the Twilight community, and more specifically theTwilight Fan Fiction community, that I loved so much were therelationships that were forged. The commonality, the frenzy when a newchapter would update, the thrill of discovering a new story and thensharing it with others. That's why I still go on and on about booksthat I read now. When I find a book I love I just want everyone elseto know about it too! That's half the fun of being on Twitter, isfinding out what everyone else is going bonkers over. Right now it'sThe Original Sinner Series P to the S...READ IT NOW!

ROBsessed Giveaway: Have a COCKTAIL or two or three during the RobHoliday Season for Fiction Fridays

ROBsessed Giveaway: Have a COCKTAIL or two or three during the RobHoliday Season for Fiction Fridays

Just like last week's giveaway, we're doing another set from a previous Fiction Friday author. This is also a throwback to some beloved Twilight fanfic that turned into a published series! Alice Clayton has written a successful series that started with her WALLBANGER story. She shared some gracious words about her start with Twilight Fanfiction HERE when we first held a giveaway. I also shared the Rob pic that reminded me of Edward Wallbanger ("I could picture him: soft faded jeans, hiking boots a la Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles, off-white Irish cable knit turtleneck sweater, hair all in disarray.")

Mmmmmmm oh yeah.



We're giving away the whole COCKTAIL series including the recently released MAI TAI'D UP! Check out the summaries if you aren't familiar with Alice's work:

WALLBANGER - The first night after Caroline moves into her fantastic new San Francisco apartment, she realizes she's gaining an--um--intimate knowledge of her new neighbor's nocturnal adventures. Thanks to paper-thin walls and the guy's athletic prowess, she can hear not just his bed banging against the wall but the ecstatic response of what seems (as loud night after loud night goes by) like an endless parade of women. And since Caroline is currently on a self-imposed "dating hiatus," and her neighbor is clearly lethally attractive to women, she finds her fantasies keep her awake even longer than the noise. So when the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts Simon Parker, her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. The tension between them is as thick as the walls are thin, and the results just as mixed. Suddenly, Caroline is finding she may have discovered a whole new definition of neighborly... In a delicious mix of silly and steamy, Alice Clayton dishes out a hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight. 

RUSTY NAILED - Playing house was never so much fun—or so confusing. With her boss on an extended honeymoon, Caroline’s working crazy-long hours to keep the interior design company running—especially since she’s also the lead designer for the renovation of a gorgeous old hotel. And with Simon, her hotshot photographer boyfriend, gallivanting all over the world for his job, the couple is heavy-duty into "absence makes the heart grow fonder" mode. No complaints about the great reunion sex, though!

Then a trip back east to his childhood home has Simon questioning his nomadic lifestyle. He decides to be home more. A lot more. And he wants Caroline home more, too. Though their friends’ romantic lives provide plenty of welcome distraction, eventually Caroline and Simon have to sort out their relationship. Sure, more togetherness is a good thing—but does less traveling and working have to mean the other extreme? Apple pie and picket fences? With this second book in the Cocktail series, USA TODAY bestselling author Alice Clayton delivers another delicious, frothy confection of a book, shaking up her characters, stirring in laugh-out-loud humor, and serving sizzling romance straight up!

SCREWDRIVERED - By day, Viv Franklin is a tough-as-nails software engineer who designs programs and loves hospital corners. By night, Vivian’s a secret romance-novel junkie who longs for a knight in shining armor, or a cowboy on a wild stallion, or a strapping firefighter to sweep her off her feet. And she gets to wear the bodice—don’t forget the bodice.

When a phone call brings news that she’s inherited a beautiful old home in Mendocino, California from a long-forgotten aunt, she moves her entire life across the country to embark on what she sees as a great, romance-novel-worthy adventure. But romance novels always have a twist, don’t they?

There’s a cowboy, one that ignites her loins. Because Cowboy Hank is totally loin-ignition worthy. But there’s also a librarian, Clark Barrow. And he calls her Vivian. Can tweed jackets and elbow patches compete with chaps and spurs? You bet your sweet cow pie.

In Screwdrivered, Alice Clayton pits Superman against Clark in a hilarious and hot battle that delights a swooning Viv/Vivian. Also within this book, an answer to the question of the ages: Why ride a cowboy when you can ride a librarian?

MAI TAI'D UP - The gossip mill in the seaside community of Monterey is churning about Chloe Patterson, the newcomer who is starting a sanctuary for rescued pit bulls. It’s rumored that she’s a former beauty queen (true) who ditched her fiancé the morning of their wedding (also true). And that while she’s not looking for a new man, the good-looking local veterinarian has his eye on her. Absolutely, positively true.
When Lucas Campbell isn’t at the family veterinary clinic, he’s paddle boarding in Monterey Bay. Recently single, he’s definitely not in the market for a new relationship, but he still can’t resist taking a second, third, and fourth look at the recent arrival of Miss Golden State.

Neither Lucas nor Chloe has any interest in being tied down. Being tied up, however—now there’s a thought. But are a few Mai Tais, a moonlit night, and the music of Frank Sinatra enough to allow them both to forget their past? Let’s hope Ol’ Blue Eyes knows what he’s doing.

Mix one part tiki, one part kinky, and a splash of old black magic matchmaking, and it’s time to be . . . Mai Tai’d Up.

LAST CALL - Simon and Caroline are back for another round of baking, banging, and big life changes. Settling in, but never settling down, Caroline has finally struck a balance between the professional and the personal. As one of the top interior designers in San Francisco, she travels all over Northern California between nook time with Simon.
Perpetual globetrotter Simon has cut his frequent flyer miles in half over the last year, preferring to balance his professional and personal life, as well.

The next step in their lives seems preordained--toasts, veils, and the aisle of rose petals. But when an accident on a photo shoot in Southeast Asia brings Caroline the most terrifying phone call she could ever imagine, she has to ask whether "till death do us part" is a more realistic prospect than faces most couples.

It's been a grand adventure, and Caroline and Simon wouldn't go out without the best surprise ending ever. One part sexy, one part laughter, a dash of exotic locales, and one pink nightie, mixed with passion, and you've got Last Call. Served with a side of Clive.

Alice doesn't shy away from her fanfic roots and the publisher shared a wonderful quote from Alice about her experience with the Twilight series and its influence on her writing:

Reading Twilight, and in turn reading fan fiction, made me rediscover what it was that I loved about reading. I had been an avid reader when I was growing up, and somewhere I lost my passion for it. I was still reading, but it was a lot of non fiction, science, economic, very dry stuff that I thought looked impressive while reading on a plane. But it was Twilight that turned me back on to STORY. To invest me so thoroughly in characters again, to make me wonder, what might happen next? Or what might have happened if so and so didn't do this and that. And fan fiction gave me that extension, this wonderful way to see what else was possible for these characters.

ROBsessed Giveaway: Enter for a chance to have THE DARKEST JOY for our Fiction Friday + winners announced!

ROBsessed Giveaway: Enter for a chance to have THE DARKEST JOY for our Fiction Friday + winners announced!

While Rob is a busy little bee on the set of Life, we're here on another Fiction Friday giving away some novels!



This week we have THE DARKEST JOY by Marata Eros just released Feb. 18th! Marata is a New York Times and USA Today best selling author and her latest is "a sexy and poignant new adult novel about two lost souls who find each other in the wake of tragedy—only to learn that love may not be enough to heal the wounds of a dark and tortured past…" Here's the official synopsis:

Twenty year-old Brooke Starr has escaped the aftermath of a brutal tragedy by abandoning her music studies and moving north to take a summer position as a part-time deck hand on a fishing boat. When her survivor's guilt becomes unbearable, Brooke realizes there's only one thing she can do to finally erase the pain.  

Deep-sea fisherman, Chance Taylor, has just wrapped his guitar set at the local saloon when he sees the silhouette of a young woman, the full moon highlighting her shadow as she plummets from a pier too high for diving...into water too cold to survive. Without thinking, he plunges in after her, saving Brooke from drowning.  

As Chance works to save her from her own emotional fragility, Brooke finally begins to learn how to save herself. But when their chemistry begins to consume them, Brooke withdraws. She's determined to be the master of her own destiny...until the past catches up with her in a cataclysmic plan so dark, so final - it threatens their love - and their lives. Electryfying, mysterious and utterly captivating, THE DARKEST JOY shows just what happens when a tormented past comes back to haunt you - and may never let you move on. 

Sounds like a healthy dose of angst for our dark cloud lovers out there in the dark recesses. ;)

There are two kinds of people in the world. The ones who look first, and the ones who leap. Traditional Kate Brooks has always been more of a looker. Cautious. A planner. That changed after she met bad boy Drew Evans. He was so persistent. So sure of himself - and of his future with Kate.
But not all love stories end happily ever after. Despite their hot romance, Drew and Kate, it seems, were never going to ride off into the sunset. Now Kate has to make the important decision of her life: whether to continue life with the self-assured Drew, or whether to part ways with the man who has her heart. To clear her head, Kate retreats to her hometown of Greenville, Ohio. The only catch? She's not entirely alone...
How can one woman turn a smooth-talking player into a broken, desperate man? By making the one thing he never wanted in life the only thing he can't live without.

As for fanfic, I'm currently rereading Transcendence by Savage7289. I don't recall what brought that on. I think "Hoh!" popped into my mind and that's all it took. ;) I'm almost done and about to start writing something with my friend, Deb. We'll see what we cook up. In the meantime, I'm in ficbo but have been eyeing The Ex Factor. Let us know what you've been reading!

ROBsessed Giveaway: Enter for a chance to win FIX YOU and more for our Fiction Friday!

Are you ready for your fiction fix? This Friday, we're hosting a worldwide giveaway of an eBook from a long time ROBsessed reader! FIX YOU by Beck Anderson is a finalist in two of Romance Writers of America's RITA awards - Best First Book and Best Contemporary Romance - reported by USA Today. While Beck let us know that this is an original story, she also told us who inspired the hero in her book...



If that gorgeous face doesn't sell you, well then you're a lost cause, dagnaddit! Here's the synopsis for FIX YOU:

When Kelly Reynolds’s husband died, he left her—the awkward, cautious one—to raise their two young boys. She’s pieced herself back together, barely. Now she takes refuge in her routine: running her kids around and running the trails near her Idaho home.
Two years after her husband’s death, a chance encounter on a run brings Andrew into her life. But Andrew is Andy Pettigrew, the Andy Pettigrew, famous actor. Kelly hates risk, and a love affair with Andrew is certainly tempting fate. She doesn’t fit into his Hollywood world. She doesn’t own a pair of Louboutins, and she couldn’t walk five paces in them if she did. Andrew oozes cool. She reeks of dork.
But despite this, they click. It may be inexplicable, but it works. However, it’s also becoming clear that Andrew struggles with the pressures of his fame. Kelly’s hold on a so-called normal life is already tenuous, and as much as she might want to indulge the fantasy, she doesn’t know how either of them is supposed to cope with stalkerazzi and tweet-happy fans with camera phones. She and Andrew both have secrets that seem impossible to keep.
Beck Anderson’s witty, engaging writing yields an emotional tale of love, loss, and all the little things that make up a life. In the end, what is it that really holds us together? Kelly must decide if love can fix two people who might be broken beyond repair.

In addition to winning the eBook for FIX YOU, we're also giving away a DVD copy of Robsessed. The unofficial guide to Rob isn't affiliated with Rob or us but it's definitely a fun blast from the past.
