I talk wwwwaaaayyyy to much, you'll see...

First, and always, thank you to everyone who reads my stories. I know your time is valuable, and I appreciate any time you have given to my writing. Please drop me a note to say 'hi' (aka review). After all these years, I'm still around...

I'm so sad we have no more Twilight movies to hungrily anticipate! So I spent numerous hours creating a look back at Bella and Edward's journey and creating a sort of sweet tribute video. Check it out: Reflections of Twilight

If you are a reader of my fanfic Honeymoon Suite or if you just enjoyed the honeymoon and melted over the thought of daddyward, I invite you to view my vid to accompany Honeymoon Suite. I tried to express the emotion of the story in pics and music. I do hope you enjoy this gift to my awesome readers! Click here. (it's just shy of 2 million hits! Thanks!!). Oh heck, just stop by my YouTube channel (TwiliteAddict) for lots of Twilight vids.

I sometimes dabble on Twitter (@Twilitedaddict) andI'm on FaceBook at TwiliteAddict Fanfic. Finally, please always consider leaving a comment if you read a story (even if it is complete), it lets the author know you are out there! Why do authors love reviews? The answer may surprise you! Read this well-articulated article on reviews (http://twilight-dad.blogspot.com/2009/09/your-reviews.html). Why do I write fanfic? Honestly, to make a connection to the readers. Without you, there is little point. So say anything -- just say something!! And unless you tell me not to, I will write back --

The Face I Can't Forget is complete with one outtake and an epilogue. It turned into a romantic comedy -- boy, was I surprised to see it take that turn! It scored me and RosaBella75/IslandWoman221 an interview with Partner's in Crime Fanfic Corner (thanks booty492)! RosaBella and I had fun being silly during the interview.

Other stuff:

I like to laugh, and sometimes all this Twilight angst gets my funny bone atrophying (or 'wasting away' for you nonmedical folk)? For a collection of fanfics with a sense of humor, try GiggleSnort.net. Speaking of giggling and snorting (a couple of my favorite things to do), here's a collection of spoofs that make me laugh. This one features hotdaddy doc, PFach himself - Breaking Dawn Birth Scene. This one has Rob poking fun at one of Jimmy Fallon's regular spoofs "Bothered". This is 'my kind of humor', but this clip from Jimmy Kimmel might make you snicker too. Finally (*giggle*) my fave alternate ending to Twilight -- "Let's go eat some people!". And yippee, here isBD2 - How it should have ended.

About me:

FanFic has changed my life. I have never been to the world of fanfic (or written creatively) until the arrival of Twilight. But the best part has been the friendships I have made. My stories focus mainly on emotions (yea emo!). That's why I love the characters of Twilight -- they have such unexplored depth! I think our emotions motivate our actions. Understanding how someone feels will often predict their behavior as it does in my stories.

I am so blessed to have made many friends in this fandom and psyched to say I actually met some of them in RL. I am a mom and a nurse living in northeast Ohio, USA. The weather sucks, but it's a safe place to live. I also have the unique perspective of young love having married my high school love -- Twilight let me experience those same feelings of first love from (too) long ago.

Lastly, please check out the stories I beta -- these ladies are wonderful and I really have benefited from their friendship.

Forbidden Desireby RosaBella75/IslandWoman221 (on hiatus)

In an alternate universe where society reached modern times with a roughly Ancient Roman level of technology, sexual pleasure is paramount; the Cullens are a breed apart: sexual vegetarians, if you will. Bella is an "Innocent" and so off limits for deeper sexual gratification, a role she gladly embraces, taking pleasure only in giving to those around her. That is until she meets Edward. Rated NC-17 for graphic sexual nature (you have been warned!)

Lunar Eclipseby TaintedDarkInuSheemko (now complete)

Edward leaves Bella alone in the woods after telling her he didn’t want her any more. As she is lying on the cold forest floor; Bella remembers three important things. Edward made a promise not to leave her, and Edward never broke a promise, and third it was her body, her heart, what right did he have to decide what was good for her? All in all Bella realizes that Edward was covering up his true feeling about her. Bella goes to bring Edward home. Rated M (not graphic or sexual)

From the Ashes by RowanMoon (WIP)

Bella rises from the ashes of battle against The Volturi in The Great War as the Three that become One; Powerful witch of the Striga line, a blood descendant of Taha Aki the great Pricolici Shifter, and now, newborn vampire with Edward's venom coursing through her veins. As our heroine celebrates her family's victory and her marriage to her imprinted mate, an unexpected guest shows up at the wedding who is bent on revenge and making Bella suffer in the worst way imaginable. Join Bella as she races against time across continents to save a loved one and fulfill a destiny that she was never prepared for. Sequel to Broken Doll. Rated NC-17 for smexy times!
