Update... January 2012

Please take a moment to check out a great t-shirt company started by a few friends of mine... www.onelessnemesis.com Their shirts are totally original!! The actress that plays Emily in New Moon has been photographed wearing the 'One Less Vampire" shirt!!

July 2008 ~ GAH!! My fanfic "The Dark Dance of Temptation" was nominated for Best POV on The Twilight Awards site... http://www.twilightawards.this-paradise.com/ !!

First... grateful thanks go out to SomethingBlue, my wonderful Beta, for sharing her amazing ideas with me, pointing out all my mistakes and encouraging me to go back and make everything better! I am proud to call you my symbiote! Also, thanks to Simplicity for wonderful ideas, insights and keeping me in line with all my crazy POV mistakes. Thanks to Heart Song for all her various beta reads and thanks also to Ninetailedkat who gave me tons of techniqcal info on a major scene I couldn't have even begun to guess at on my own. Ladies... you all ROCK!!

Please feel free to look over my favorites and my Twilight community. My favorites include fanfics that have elements that I like, such as good writing, interesting plot or they just made me laugh. A few have some excellent parts to them and some not so good parts. I included them here even if I don't really care for the story as a whole. There's just no place else to put them except on my 'favorites'.

The fanfics I include in my Twilight community all stick very close to the original characters personalities even if it's an AU. These will also include any time before, during and/or after Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. Bella will always end up with Edward as it should be. I don't have many because I haven't had very much time to read other fanfics yet. If you read a fanfic you feel would belong nicely here, please let me know and I will be happy to read it and then decide. Please don't be offended if I don't agree.

Also... if you usually cringe away from any fanfic that pairs Bella with any other vampire other than Edward, please take a moment to allow Janna Banana to change your mind. She has written an awesome fanfic titled "When Darkness Turns to Light" and taken many aspects of Twilight and New Moon and twisted them to fit her AU very nicely. I think you will enjoy it!! It has over 3000 great reviews so, yeah!!

Favorite books/authors...top of the list only

Twilight Saga and The Host by the glorious Stephenie Meyer

The Midnight Breed Warrior series by Lara Adrian beginning with 'Kiss of Midnight'...Alien/human vampires called the Breed. Adult content! My personal favorite vampire mate! Sorry Edward, but I would rather have a man who could bite me repeatedly without killing me, keep me young forever without turning me into a vampire, give me sons and share his intoxicating blood with me each time we make love.

Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward beginning with 'Dark Lover'... adult content! And...OH.MY.GOD!! LoveLoveLove the Brothers!

The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning... adult content.

Outlander Series by Diana Gabalone

Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost beginning with 'One Foot in the Grave'... adult content with an excellent strong female lead character!

The Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh... again, adult content.

The Nightwalker & Shadowdweller Series by Jacqueline Frank

The Dark Hunter Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon beginning with "Fantasy Lover'... again adult content.

Love At Stake Series by Kerrelyn Sparks beginning with 'How to Marry a Million Vampire'... adult content.

The Southern Vampire Series by Charlaine Harris beginning with 'Dead Until Dark'...some steamy smut but these books are found in the Sci Fi/Fantasy section. You may recognize this from the HBO show, True Blood... believe me... the show is basically only using the characters in name with a bit of the storyline thrown in. The books are so much better than the show... Jason does breed like a cat in heat, but not in every chapter for eff's sake!!

Riley Jenson Guardian Series by Keri Arthur (Werewloves and vampies galore!)beginning with 'Full Moon Rising' Adult content!

The Lords of the Underworld Series beginning with 'The Darkest Night' by Gena Showalter... adult content.

Vampire Kisses, Kissing Coffins, Vampireville by Ellen Schreiber... thanks ForeverAVampireLover for recommending it to me! They are YA and just alot of fun!

Harry Potter by JKR of course (Anything & everything! My books are all filled with little sticky tabs pointing to important clues! Looks like a rainbow is trying to explode from inside my books!) I read the last book in one day and Yes! I cried but I also found some very funny things to laugh like a lunatic at. Anything to ease the tension of losing so many wonderful friends! I swear I'm suffering a deep depression from the death of fictional characters!

Stephen King...everything! Especially the 'Dark Tower' series.

Michael Crichton...everything! Especially Timeline.
