UBER FACTS

'When in Doubt, Blame the Singer's Girlfriend' is taken from a Guitar Hero: World Tour loading screen.

Bella's guitar style is similar to that of Orianthi Panagaris (nice rifts and killer solos).

Jasper's bass playing is likened to that of My Chemical Romance's Mikey Way (subtle but his bass solos are awesome).

Emmett's drum techniques are based off of Gustav Schafer of Tokio Hotel (fuck load of pedals).

Edward has no definite voice in my head. It changes from Brendon Urie's of Panic! At the Disco to Tyson Ritter's of All-American Rejects and a bunch of other singers. Depends on what I was listening to while working on a chapter.

Midnight Sun's Jaymes and Thomas are Kristen Jaymes Stewart and Robert Thomas Pattinson.

Midnight Sun is Twilight told from Edward's perspective.

Aphelion (Midnight Sun's sequel) is defined as the point where in a planet/comet is farthest from the sun. This became New Moon's counterpart because this had the point wherein Edward and Bella were farthest from each other.

Edward having a cyst in his vocal cords is based off the experience of Tokio Hotel's lead singer Bill Kaulitz. They had to stop their tour and go back to Germany for him to be treated properly. However, instead of his girlfriend, it was his twin brother and the band's guitarist Tom who took care of him. When the tour resumed, more shows were also added.

The interview with fan questions was based off of an actual MTV interview with Tokio Hotel way back 2008 or something close to that year. Some questions – like 'if you could live forever, what would you live for?' – were really asked by legit fans via the MTV website.

Answers to interviews were also based on the band's actual responses. Jasper saying that his wife is the only thing for him – well, that and his DVD collection – was also the reply of Georg Listing, TH's bassist though he said girlfriend instead of wife. Emmett's answer of bringing three bags filled with everything he needed to a desert island was what Gustav answered as well.

In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm pretty much obsessed with Tokio Hotel.

- Million Dollar Baby by clpsuperstar (the one where Bella sells herself for a million dollars to one horny Edward to get money for her mother's heart surgery)

- Realize by Goo82 (super angsty story from which 1000 Oceans is loosely based off of).

New Moon's songs are either actual songs or books I randomly saw on my shelf:

- I'm Not Okay (Song by My Chemical Romance)

- Final Day (Song by Tokio Hotel; English counterpart of Der Letzte Tag)

- You'll Be Safe Here (Song by Rivermaya)

- Thieves Like Us (Novel by Stephen Cole)

- She's So Money (Novel by Cherry Cheva)

- Perfect Mistake (Novel by Kate Brian; one of the Privilege novels)

Events that actually in real life:

- The milk spiking

- Fainting in an airport (though I fainted in a mall and it wasn't because I was preggo, but because I didn't eat anything that day)

- Suffering from body ache after playing Just Dance on the PS3 for how many hours straight the night before. That's what happens to people who don't exercise then suddenly throw themselves into pretty strenuous physical activities.

- Calling Cosmopolis Cosmopolitan

- Having feels from watching Welcome to the Rileys.

Outtakes? Futuretakes? Most probably.
