What do I Read?


I enjoy reading Harry Potter, Scandal, One Tree Hill, The Vampire Diaries, and Shadowhunter Chronicles fanfics, but I spend most of my time in the Twilight fandom. There are some amazing writers who weave the most creative, funny, dramatic, and just plain delicious romantic stories, whether as humans or in a supernatural world.


I have assisted a few authors as a pre-reader and beta for Twilight and original fiction. Currently, I'm beta on Mylissa's "Cracking Cullen".


Why TwiFic?


Well, I mostly like stories that try to recapture Bella and Edward’s romance from the early books and have them work through their issues. They are from two different time periods and their values are bound to clash. I just want some character development and not by blaming one character for everything, because if it's canon, they both share some part of the blame for what happened.


I would rather see a Bella and Edward work out their issues than either of them move on with another. That's what I didn't like about the books.


Bitchy and controlling Bellas are just as bad as promiscuous and controlling Edwards.


The Cullens are such a diverse family with a strong bond connecting them, so I don't like when they conspire to change Edward or side with Bella over him.


I am also not a Jasper/Bella fan, either as best friends, confidants, or lovers. Too many stories have Jasper so perfect and make him everything to Bella. There is usually no room for Edward to be special to her, and Jasper quickly becomes one of his detractors, telling him how to treat her. Ugh! That's just not my cup of tea.


What are some of my favorite TwiFics?

Great chapter! I loved how Bella asked Rosalie to be her Matron of Honor and reassured her that she wanted her best friend by her side. The wedding day was perfect down to the ILYs.

Date: 03 May 2014 Title: Chapter 26: Epilogue

It's really sad what happened between Bella and Alice. I hoped their friendship could be repaired, maybe not to what it was, but at least for them to stay friends. Then Jasper leaves her for someone else, well, that's horrible. Alice doesn't deserve that much sorrow for what she's done. I am glad Bella tried to reach out to her when she saw her in the park. 

I am happy Bella and Edward had a little girl who could play with Rosalie and Emmett's son, and that they plan to try for another child. They seem really happy. 

Thanks for sharing this story. 

Summary:

After being announced as America's longest living married couple, Bella tells her great-granddaughter the story of how she and her husband started their life together. Inspired by the story of John and Ann Betar, but with a modern twist.

This story is my entry to the FictionPad Olderward/Olderella contest, where it placed 2nd for Best Bella and 2nd for Best Romance. Right now this is just a one-shot, but I may eventually extend and rewrite it into a full story. For now, please enjoy!

This was a beautiful story. I do wonder if Bella ever reconciled with her father. Though, he really didn't deserve the chance after the way he acted.

Congrats on your second place in the contest.

Oh boy! Bella and Edward thought they were so smart, having outwitted the old man during his visit. I must say Charlie's whistling in and out of rooms had me suspicious that he already knew. I didn't expect the parents to trick them into revealing the change in their relationship.That was hilarious.

Wow! That was so extreme. Bella's life was so miserable. Why did no one help her? After the first incident, I would have threatened the school district for not protecting her.

I'm glad Bella has gained a friend and protector in Rosalie, while at college. It looks like Bella's life is looking up.

Thank you for reviewing this chapter. When I wrote this I did it thinking about one of my children. I did become apart of the decor in the school office.  We finished up moving schools.

I'm glad Edward stood up to his mother about her interference in his life and any possible relationship with Tanya. Something tells me that discussion isn't over. 

I feel so sorry for Edward for what happened with Bella and that she didn't let him apologize before beating him up.

It was great to see how Edward fits with his group of friends. Jasper is a good pal and confidant, it seems. Rosalie and Edward interact more like siblings. Alice seems to want to matchmake her friends without really seeing the lack of attraction between them. 

I was surprised that it was acceptable by Edward and Bella's parents for Emmett to spend the night with his high school girlfriend after their dinner. I could see that in college, but not in high school.

I liked that Edward wanted to have a safe sex talk with his son, but he was way too late. It felt like Emmett was schooling him. Emmett was hilarious as his word vomit kicked into overdrive and he was talking about condoms and making sure his girlfriend reached orgasm. So funny! Yeah, Edward lost that round. ;)

It was really sweet of Edward to bring flowers for his son's girlfriend when he was late to meet her. Edward and Bella's first meeting in the kitchen was definitely memorable with Edward's physical attraction to her and then Bella's fall before hitting her head on that drawer. LOL. I'm glad she was okay. 

I did feel sorry for Bella being embarrassed after Edward corrected her for calling him Ed. Emmett was so immature in setting her up like that, even if the target was his dad. I'm glad he apologized to her.

The rest of the night appeared to go well. I liked that Edward offered Bella a ride home.

I'm glad Emmett's grades are improving and his dad let him play football since he loves it so much. I especially liked how Edward put Mike in his place about informing him of Emmett's performance. 

Edward seems more involved and I'm glad that hasn't soured their relationship. Thanks for your warnings in the A/N. I was worried about their bond being irreparably damaged by this upcoming affair, since they only have each other.

Edward and Emmett have had a hard road to navigate with just the two of them, but I'm glad Edward shows no sign on giving up on his son. I partly blame the school too. You send that many notes home, get no response and it doesn't send up a red flag? They should have had a backup plan and contacted his father directly.

Well, Edward and Rose' situation doesn't sound promising. It's good he has a friend in Jasper. 

Great opening chapter!

I like that Jake's friends tried to challenge his romantic fantasies about Bella, so he could understand the reality of his situation. I always wished he could have seen that for himself. 

Sam declaring enough and restricting Jacob to La Push by an Alpha order created a compelling conflict for the Pack and the Elders. I knew Jacob and Billy wouldn't take that easily and it forces everyone to deal with the balance of power within the tribe.

Thank you, was trying for an acceptable reaction from everyone else, 

felt the blanket just because Jacob wasn't happy neither were they was wrong xx

I enjoyed the tribal politics, but Jake's revelations about his father and Bella were really done well. He grew up a lot in these last couple of days. 

I would recommend getting a beta to correct some of the grammar issues in the story and with the title, but I could understand the story despite them.

Thanks for sharing your story.

That was an interesting What If. You hit two of my pet peeves about Eclipse, and there are many and relate to ALL the main characters.  

The best change here is Charlie's reaction. S. Meyer really damaged Charlie's character when he pat his daughter's attacker on the back, dismissed her obvious pain and threatened to arrest her boyfriend for expressing his anger about what happened. We see here a father caring about the welfare of his daughter, despite who hurt her, and an officer of the law doing his job. I like that we also see the pain it causes him to arrest the boy he considered a son and that he took his share of the blame for this happening.

I really wanted Jacob's aggressive behavior to be dealt with in the books, but S. Meyer wrote their kisses like an assault then dealt with it with kid gloves, especially the first one. She also had Bella forgive him time and time again for some really hurtful things.  Characterwise, Jacob of Twilight and early New Moon never seemed capable of this kind of behavior and being young and desperate does not make it okay to forcibly hold a woman down to kiss her against her will, or make it romantic, especially when you're that much stronger than her. I like that he is challenged to see the error of his ways here and he rose to the occasion.

Thank you, yes I agree obviously, it never sat right with me
