8''Brewdening Love'' is an infamous ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' fanfiction written by Erin Locklea, aka Erin of the Cullen Clan, and is another in the line of ''Fanfic/MyImmortal''-esque fanfics. It stars [[OverlyLongName Joan St. Sanctuary Louisa-Smithe]] and is absolutely ''filled'' with spelling errors.
9
10The story begins with Joan walking into her English class and suddenly noticing a boy named Edward whom she thinks looks like a god. She attempts to flirt with him, but is ignored; she forgives Edward because he's incredibly "sex-ah" and decides that since he's so hot, she wants to date him.
11
12Edward continues to ignore her and [[StalkerWithACrush she continues to stalk him]], going so far as to chase him into the school car lot with him screaming at her to go away. While she contemplates the horrid thought that maybe he doesn't like her, a bus appears out of nowhere and almost hits her. A mysterious somebody, who she thinks was Edward, saves her in the nick of time. She confronts him later [[StalkingIsLove and they magically fall in love]].
13
14From there, the fic follows their relationship as Joan encounters the rest of the Cullens, meets the problem vampire Jhams, and [[ArtisticLicenseGeography searches the entirety of Canada in twenty minutes.]] ''Damn'', that Volvo is fast.

16While the fic has been ousted off fanfiction.net for its shoddy writing, it can be read on [=DeviantArt=] [[https://www.deviantart.com/erinofthecullenclan here]].

18Now has an ExpandedUniverse -- see [[FanFic/BrewdeningLoveExpandedUniverse here]].
19
20!!''Brewdening Love'' contains examples of:
21
22* AbortedArc: Some of the chapters start off at completely different places than where the last ones began. This becomes more common in the later chapters.
23-->'''Erin:''' Blame the ducks hahah!1
24* AbusiveParents: Joan's father... [[InformedFlaw at least, according to Erin]]. He mostly comes off as stern (not wanting Joan to go to Edward's home -or viceversa- without telling him, or constantly telling Joan to go to school), and even reacts rather calmly when he finds out Joan has a boyfriend.
25* AccidentalMisnaming:
26** Oh so many times. Joan is called by her name almost as many times as she's been called Erin or Bella (who isn't even present in the story), or a pair of chapters where the names Erin, Joan and Jenny are mixed up. There's even a pair of author's notes where Erin calls herself Joan.
27** Fernando and Jacob, the gardeners, are mixed up several times as well.
28* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: In Chapter 21, Victoria threatens to hurt Joan because of what happened to James. This is in reference to ''Eclipse'', where Victoria wants to avenge James's death, but in this story, James is alive and well... meaning she has no actual motive.
29* AerithAndBob: A case in Chapter 30. On one side, you have Joan, Edward, Jacob, Rosalie, Becca, Jenny, Alice, Jasper, and Emmet. In the other side, you have... Skegs, Firebird, Halohead, Pussle, Coger [=McCloud=], and Antispectacles, which not only sound odd for the name conventions of the story, let alone the original setting, but they are misspellings of the account names of people who criticized the story in previous chapters.
30%%* TheAlcoholic: Mr. Smith.
31* AscendedExtra: Becca, seemingly a background character based on the author's friend, has been given a bigger role in the story.
32* AsTheGoodBookSays: Erin tries to preach every biblical message she can think of and even called the first chapter "Genesis". Unfortunately, this leads to misinterpretation and even to her making up quotes that she uses to bash flamers.
33* AuthorTract: If there's something out there that goes against the Bible, Erin ''will'' go out of her way to say it's wrong.
34* BackFromTheDead: Emmett was killed, [[DeathIsCheap then revived...]] [[FridgeLogic but if he's a vampire, isn't he already dead?]]
35* BadassPreacher: The Pope is apparently ComicBook/{{Batman}}. It's outright stated that his Pope Mobile "is like the Bat Mobile but it's the Pope Mobile", and the Pope rescues the protagonists after Victoria kills Edward (then resurrects him), and then fights the vampires alongside Jesus.
36* BreakingTheFourthWall: Chapter 37 was almost entirely centered on [[ShipSinking killing off]] the Brian x Hugo fanbase. Also, the revenge chapters, which literally put the critics into the story so they can be killed.
37* ComedicSociopathy: When the Cullens are deciding how to deal with the traitorous Emmett back in Chapter 9, MC/Esme walks in with a batch of cookies.
38* ComicBookAdaptation: The [[RougeAnglesofSatin gafic noval]].
39* CostumePorn: Even in the scenes where Joan is depressed, she feels the need to describe everything she's wearing.
40* {{Crossover}}: In the spin-offs, ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''Literature/HarryPotter'' characters have shown up.
41* CureYourGays: The entire point behind ''Edwards Secert'', along with several quotes from ''Brewdening Love'' itself ("Luv u Jenny, no homo" "Guys can love each other but not in the a--" "...That time my sister lied that she was gay and had to go to camp." "the VOLTIRE COUD HALP ME!!! AND THEY COLD KULL BRIAN SO THAT SINNARS WOOD STOP MAKING MY CHARROTERS GAYU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1").
42* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Mr. Smith doesn't seem to approve of Joan dating Edward, but he never did anything to put a stop to it.
43* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment:
44--> But then I heard a noise, like a bus comming towards me. I looked around and saw.......................A BIG BUS [[AccidentalInnuendo CUMING]] AT ME!1111
45* DiminishingVillainThreat: Wait, who is James again?
46* DoubleEntendre: Right after the bus comes to a halt merely inches from Joan's face, her friend Jenny seems to be a little bit too happy that her friend is safe.
47--> Jenny was creaming at me but I couldn’t here her probably.
48* EasyEvangelism: Jacob converts to and supports Christianity in under a day.
49* FemaleMisogynist: Author Erin Locklea is this.
50* {{Fingore}}: In ''[[SpinOff Edwards Secert]]'', you have to either cut off your own finger [[BuryYourGays or die]] in order to [[CureYourGays cure]] homosexuality.
51* TheFundamentalist: Joan is supposed to be an "ideal Christian".
52%%* GreenEyedMonster: Joan, when anyone is around Edward.
53%%* HateFic: The SpinOff ''Truelove Fight'' is this to Franchise/{{Pokemon}}.
54* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: "I luv u, but no homo k?"
55* {{Hypocrite}}:
56** Edward tells Emmett to kill James and incinerate his body. He fails, but since the Cullens believe in ThouShaltNotKill, they kill him for having tried to kill James. It does ''not'' make more sense in context.
57** In a meta example, Erin states fairly early on that she will not follow the plot from the books. Halfway-through, she uses the plot from ''Eclipse''.
58* KillItWithFire:
59** [[PyroManiac Brian's main strategy]].
60** Emmett and Edward try to incinerate James and Emmett, respectively, in order to kill them. The former shows up alive just fine moments after Emmett claimed to have burned him, while Edward succeeds (although Emmett is eventually resurrected).
61* KungFuJesus: Jesus fights alongside [[BadassPreacher The Pope]] against the vampires. [[SadlyMythtaken For some reason]], he wears a lot of golden chains and has a pendant with a crucifix.
62* LoveDodecahedron: In case anyone would like to keep track, [[http://i38.tinypic.com/dwx7nq.jpg this is what it currently looks like.]]
63* {{Machinima}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H5fzXxs8hg&index=1&list=PL4gt81gOBFeVMPaMZqAg_OElCWsrSAC2D Here]].
64* MissingMom: Joan's mom never shows up, nor is she ever mentioned. Joan does, however, apparently have a sister who is a lesbian and was sent to [[CureYourGays "camp"]].
65* {{MST}}: The [=TwilightSucks=] forums have [[http://www.tsdcv3.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=twilightfics&action=display&thread=1519&page=1 a whole archive of them]]. The author herself wrote two RevengeFic chapters against the snarkers after reading them, casting them as evil, devil-worshiping vampires.
66* MurderTheHypotenuse: Joan wants to kill Jenny so she can have Edward all to herself. [[SarcasmMode What a great friend Joan is.]]
67* NeonSignHideout: What were the "[[TheMafia Volturi Mafia]]" smoking when they used the seven wonders of the world to decorate their hideout?
68* NewJobsAsThePlotDemands: Or rather, as the author forgets. Joan's father has a different job each time his occupation is mentioned (although he ends up being a lawyer twice).
69%%* NoSexAllowed: Even though Joan clearly wants it.
70* OneHitKill: Victoria kills "Ward" with a single punch.
71* OverlyLongName: What kind of self-respecting girl would Joan St. Sanctuary Louisa-Smith be if she didn't have one of these?
72%%* PyroManiac: Brian.
73* RevengeFic: Four chapters of ''Brewdening Love'' attack actual internet users (two for the snarkers and two for trolls impersonating her friends), chapter 37 attacks Brian x Hugo shippers, and ''Edwards Secret'' attacks gays in general.
74* RidiculouslyFastConstruction: The Cullens rebuild Joan's home, which was burned down, in a single day. Although, considering that Joan manages to make all the windows shake with a single yell, the quality of the rebuilt home might be questionable.
75* RougeAnglesOfSatin: The whole fic is full of this. Even the title is spelled wrong!
76* SelfInsertFic: Erin admits in the first chapter that this is what Twilight would be like if she were Bella. She has tried to deny it a few times since, but judging by how many times their names get mixed up...
77* SatelliteLoveInterest: Why do Joan and Edward like each other again, other than the whole "hawt" thing?
78* SomethingWeForgot: In Chapter 23, to ridiculous levels. The party that goes to Canada to rescue Jacob from the evil vampires finds him, frees him and then ''leaves him behind without realizing''. He might have had to rescue himself considering he's back at the end of the following chapter.
79* SpinOff: There are five of them.
80** ''Twilight World'': A crossover with the Bible, [[ArtisticLicenseReligion except with Twilight characters instead of the real characters]]. Formerly called ''Twilight Bible''.
81** ''Bellas Baby'': A one-shot in which Bella is pregnant with James' demon child and has to get an abortion from [[Literature/HarryPotter Professor McGonagall]]. Was lost forever, can now be found [[http://brewdeninglove.freeiz.com/favorites.htm here.]]
82** ''Truelove Fight'': Another crossover, only [[HateFic in bad spirits]]. This one has Edward hunting and killing Franchise/{{Pokemon}} because [[InsaneTrollLogic Pikachu's ears resemble devil horns]].
83** ''Edwards Birthday'': A one-shot meant to support the Joan x Edward pairing. It has a character named Tana (possibly the canon character Tanya) who tries to get with Edward to [[{{Yandere}} disastrous results]].
84** ''Edwards Secert'': A rightly loathed one-shot where Edward and Jacob become gay for each other and a RoaringRampageOfRevenge is launched against Jacob when he refuses to [[{{Fingore}} cut off one of his own fingers]] as a means of repentance.
85* StalkerWithACrush: Joan follows Edward around when she first decides that he's "sex-ah". It gets so bad that he has to flee into a parking lot while she's chasing him, which is when she finally gets the idea that he may not like her.
86* ThatCameOutWrong: A LOT of times during the story, thanks to the misspellings. You can get a completely different understanding of the story than what Erin intended to write. For example, in Chapter 22, Joan is bitten in the arm by a vampire, so Edward retaliates. He's supposed to be beating the vampire up, but this is what was written:
87--> Edward scremed and [[DoubleEntendre pounded]] into the vampire that bit me.
88* TrollFic: [[PoesLaw It could easily be this.]]
89* WouldHitAGirl: In chapter 28, [[MemeticBadass Brian]] punches Joan, with his reason being "Because I am the FBI and I can.", a line which has since become an AscendedMeme.
90%%* {{Yandere}}: Joan.
91* YouShallNotPass: [[DearNegativeReader "NO SINNARS ALLUWED TO READ IT OK. BECOISE THEY DON'T FALLOW THE LORDS WEIGHTS AND HIS TEECHINGS AND THEY AR TYING TO BRING THE DEVAL INTO MY LIF!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111"]]
