Greetings from your Retro-Cougar-Momma Melbie! I'm retired from a long-time career and am now having fun enjoying life, loving photography, movies, reading (lots of fan fiction), and anything Robert Pattinson, Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and the Beatles. I love photography and Photoshop, enhancing photos of my idols and sharing them with everyone who also adore Rob, Roger, Rafa and the Beatles. Haven't had this much fun since I can remember, making so many friends from all over the world! Oh, and please check out my videos dedicated to Robert Pattinson at: http://www.youtube.com/user/MelbieToast.

Tribute to Master of the Universe and Snowqueens IceDragon

When I found out that fans of fanfiction “Master of the Universe” by Snowqueens IceDragon were organizing a tribute to this epic story and fabulous author, I had to contribute!

I have been reading fanfiction for years now, but MoTU is by far my favorite story ever, and from the first time Bella walked into CEO Edward Cullen’s office, I was totally hooked on “Fifty Shades” (of fucked up).

In this story, Icy has created such endearing, emotive and incredible characters, to the extent where Fifty and Bella became almost real life people to me…and I waited anxiously for each updated chapter. At times, a chapter would bring me to tears, or anger, or concern, or wonder, and many times practically passing out from the intensity.

MoTU is so utterly addicting. Why? Because Icy is the best writer in fanfiction history, bar none. She created an entire world surrounding her fascinating characters, and a story with such passion, intrigue, mystery and emotion that her millions of readers were constantly begging for more. MoTU and Fifty Shades has generated so many blogs and probably millions of tweets. MoTU is EPIC and historic in the number of reviews, reactions, blogs and posts from its millions of fans the world over.

When MoTU (Part 1) ended last year and we all thought the story was finished…we fans cried and lamented the end of the story. I re-read Part 1 over and over, and we were all missing Fifty Shades so much. Because we missed him and MoTU so much, I started creating enhanced photos with quotes from MoTU and sharing them with the fans…and then I couldn’t stop…and created more and more, and then a YouTube video dedicated to Fifty Shades, MoTU and Icy. Master video-maker Biel created two epic MoTU video tributes to the story. Many other MoTU fans created photo tributes and videos… we just couldn’t let go of Fifty, of this fabulous story.

Icy heard our cries for more, please please more!…and she started MoTU (Part 2) ! I joined millions of other fans who were over-joyed with happiness as the story continued, better than ever! (and I continued to create photos with my favorite quotes).

Alas, recently Icy completed MoTU (Part 2)… the last chapter so wonderfully written, tying up a lot of loose ends expertly, and what a cliff-hanger ending! I am now going thru MoTU withdrawal symptoms which include a strong desire to continue to create Fifty photos with quotes, create another video dedicated to Fifty, and of course, re-read the entire MoTU Parts 1 & 2 again. And I am praying and hoping for the day sometime in the future when Icy may even start Part 3… (I can dream, can’t I?)

In the meantime, Icy has published the REAL version of this story, a REAL hardback book, “Fifty Shades of Grey”, which I will purchase as soon as possible and can’t wait to get my hands on… I am hoping that every fan of MoTU purchases “Fifty Shades of Grey” and makes Icy into a millionaire many times over…she certainly deserves it, hands down!

Fifty Shades will never die, never - he will live on in our hearts and minds forever. We will re-read MoTU 1&2 over and over, we will buy and read Fifty Shades of Grey over and over. We will continue to create videos, photos and blog posts in tribute to him. Mark my words, new readers will discover MoTU and fans of Fifty Shades will grow exponentially in number…

So, my dear Icy, there are not enough words of praise to describe your incredible writing talents, and your dedication to this story and your fans, and insufficient words to thank you for the countless hours of work you have put into creating a stunning, beautiful, wondrous story that has captivated me (us) for so long… MoTU has been part of my life for nearly two years now and has brought me and countless others so much joy. This tribute today is just a small demonstration of our love and appreciation for you and all the happiness you have given us over the years. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. xoxo MelbieToast
