So yeah ... I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, now. I want to talk about few fics that should be read by ... well, I was going to say anyone who loves Twilight fanfiction, but honestly? These stories should be read by everyone who likes to read. They are just good stories; well-written and with plots I connect to for one reason or another. All three are All-Human stories and while the characters might be named Edward, Bella, Jasper et al, they will still mean something to you, even if you didn’t read the books and don’t get the little winks to canon which may be hidden within their text (these winks are more prominent in one story than in the others). I have three stories I am going to write about, here, and will tackle one story each, over the next three blog entries.
When it comes to Twific, I am not picky about what I will read. I don’t eschew any particular “ship” (character relationships, for those of you who might not be up on the fandom lingo); I like vamp stores as well as AH ones; I like fluff, I like angst, I like humor, I like romance, I like mystery—basically, I like anything, so long as I think it is well-written and it pulls me in. These days, I generally pick what to read based on the recommendations of friends and the occasional blog, but I have been known to just peruse and see what’s out there. I look for originality; I look for fully- and well-developed characters.
I will start with a story that I read about on some blog or another many months ago. It has actually been written about on several blogs and deservedly so, as it is really wonderful. However, in spite of the publicity it has garnered, for some reason it still does not have as large an audience as it deserves.

(In the interest of full disclosure, I should note that I act as a pre-reader/beta for this story. However, I loved it before I ever started acting in this capacity. It is because I love the story so much, in fact, that I started stalking and harassing PM’ing javamomma0921 and eventually became a pre-reader.)
