Hi there! My name is Jess and I'm a sales assistant from Melbourne, Australia.

I've become a little obsessed with reading fan fiction, and I think that in turn has made me addicted to the Internet. God help me when I go on holidays...

Currently working on two stories. My first is my baby, Alternate Universe. The second, which is my therapy, is Vague Summaries and Fan Fiction Cliches.

Things you should know about me:

I like to laugh I don't like to take things seriously, especially in fan fiction. We're all here for a bit of fun, so there's nothing worse than nasty girl fights etc.

That being said I'm easily annoyed. If there's something in a fan fiction that annoys me, I'll flounce. I can be kind of fussy that way. Spelling mistakes and poor pacing are probably my biggest ones.

I'm not fussed when it comes to pairings Some people only read strictly B/E, others have a preference (Jalice, B/Jasper, B/Emmett etc.) I do not have a preference, I enjoy them all. They say variety is the spice of life, right?

I do have boundaries though. Not a fan of Jacob/Bella. I never felt the chemistry in the books, and when fan fic authors throw them together it's just awkward.

I'm Australian What does that mean lovelies? It means I like my 'u's and 's's in the right spot. EG. I will be saying colour, realise, and Mum, not color, realize and Mom. The only place I will write American is in my stories, and that's purely because of their American setting. My personal blogging/tweeting is all Aussie.

It also means that I am probably at least 12 hours ahead of you in time. The future is good, I can definitely promise that.

I like chocolate, so if you need to bribe me... well that there will do it. :)

I won my first writing competition when I was six. It was about a magic butterfly who turned kids into animals just by touching them. Yeah, while other kids were playing with Barbies, I was writing and illustrating my own picture books. The year after, I decided to write a 'grown up' story - it had chapters. I haven't looked back. :)

I am a staff member of The Twilight Awards - it's a great site for new authors, and I'm having fun working with everyone.

Finally, I am on Twitter. Follow me @jesicka309 to see what I'm up to, and more importantly, give me a butt kicking when I haven't updated in a while!
