Howdy! I am a 20 something woman who's been writing fiction for approximately nine years, but I have never ventured into fanfiction. I'm a recent college graduate, am looking for a new job since mine, a temporary position, is supposed to end soon. There are a few things I'm really interested in, so if you're the praying kind, pray for me, and if you're not, think happy thoughts for me. :)

After many years, I've finally gotten the courage up to write about my experiences. My goal is to bring issues to light that are often put on the backburner or thought of as not severe when in actuality they are for the survivor. I hope you give it a chance and like it.

Fun Facts:

I fractured my back once.

I've only been on a plane three times.

I wish my best friend was my sister. Sometimes, I swear we were separated at birth.

I kept three jobs throughout college.

I'm a survivor. Read my multi-chapter story, and you'll understand.

I love interviewing. Most people find it intimidating; I actually love it.

I have a celebrity crush on Ryan Reynolds, Channing Tatum, and David Boreanez.

Quote: One day our descendants will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique identities of each of us as complex human beings. by Franklin Thomas

Beta Experience

dark but so Lovely:

I was the Beta for dark but so Lovely's story Life is Beautiful. This is story is currently on hiatus.

Life is Beautiful: ExB. Bella's Parents die in a car crash when she is 16; she has no friends and no family. She finds no reason why she should stay alive and starts to think about dieing. Can the Cullens show her that life is worth living? Bella is Human. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5584018/1/Life_is_Beautiful

ExiledEddie:

I was the Beta for ExiledEddie's story Follow You and Submissive Sin. Follow Me is a fun story, only a few chapters in, and I can't wait to see where this goes. Submissive Sin is a great alternate POV of the original story Dominant's Creed. Please check out these stories if you can. We would love feedback.

Follow You: ON HOLD//Edward has always been a little different but that didn't stop Bella from getting close to him. Follow along through the hardships of dealing with someone you don't really understand. OC B/E Lemon's in later chapters http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5458897/1/Follow_You

Submissive Sin: Dominant's Creed in BPOV. Bella is lead to a world of unknown when she takes a school paper to the extreme. DC Summary-Edward is a Dom and well known in D/s circles. What happens when he meets a woman with no BDSM experience who wants to be his new sub? Why is he suddenly feeling emotional and breaking all his rules? Lemons! OCC, AH/canon pairings. Not necessary but advantageous to read Dominant's Creed first.

LionLambForever:

I betaed for LionLambForever's stories Coming to Term and The New Cullen Twins. Both stories are great, and I was honored to be her beta. My personal favorite is The New Cullen Twins. It's one of those stories that I wish I could have dreamed up the plot to. LionLambForever is no longer on fanfiction. If/when she chooses to post elsewhere, I'll let you know.

Coming to Term: Rose and Emmett are desperate for a baby, but Rose is unable to carry a child to term. So the couple looks for other options. Bella is in need of money for school and finds an ad about surrogacy. Will Bella be able to help Rose and Em? ExB RxE CxE AxJ AU/AH

The New Cullen Twins: What happens when the Cullens stumble upon identical human twins Isabella and Lilliana? canon pairings
