Curate, connect, and discover
Although I haven’t gotten to this point yet in my current ff, I DO think I can pull this off. I’m a musician, but more importantly, my boyfriend is SNOBBY when it comes to music, so I can ask him his music opinions and get a full essay.
I think that Edward Cullen would have snobbish and eclectic and fascinating opinions about music in a way that basically no one succeeds in writing him having. The problem is that if a writer doesn't know enough about the tastes of snobbish off-the-deep-end bottom-of-the-obscure-music-iceberg r/mus type people, then they can't really write a character who does. But we deserve an Edward who does. SMeyer doesn't understand this, but I do.
