After watching the movie several times and wanting, maybe even needing more, I googled everything Twilight. One of my google searches brought me to a site called Twilighted!
Twilighted.net is a fanfiction site. I had no idea what that meant, but I knew there were Twight-related stories on that site, so, I wanted in!
What is fanfiction? (I looked it up for you in case you didn't know.)
A piece of fiction within a fandom utilizing characters and situations from a pre-existing work including (but not limited to) books, television programs, films ...
I quickly signed up under the name Tazz as it was my nickname in high school. I explored the site and found so many stories to read...it was really endless!
Twilighted had a back chat room called The Threads...where you looked up the story you were reading and join others that liked that story and sometimes the author would be in there giving teasers for upcoming chapters.
I found out that many readers had a twitter accounts so, I went and got a twitter Tazzy Cullen. I had a blast on twitter, but the downfall was you had to say what you wanted in only 140 characters...this was not easy! As time went on my twitter followers increased.
On twitter I meet and became friends with Madam Akyra as we were reading the same story.
She was my first Twilight friend and all these years later she's still a very dear friend of mine. You will get to know through this journey as she was a huge part of everything I did!
See you Monday!
