Here's a couple. Rated M, and VERY VERY in-character! All Vamp, all Lemons, all FUN, lots of Cullen interactions! We're starting a whispering campaign that LOLASHOES is actually SM in her fan disguise. LOLLucyth wrote:Any E/B Fanfics? I despise A/H, so please, stick to the vamps

Re: Fan Fic Recommendation Thread
How do you find fiction to read?
When I first started looking for FF, I found a forum on Twilight Lexicon where I found a "Recommended Fan Fiction" forum. That's where I started anyway.
http://forum.twilightlexicon.com/viewto ... f=29&t=473
Once I was there, I found another link and went to the "Missing Scenes" Community in FanFiction. In particular, I wanted to find the missing honeymoon. This was my 2nd foray into finding the stories I really wanted.
http://www.fanfiction.net/community/Mis ... ies/59778/
Once I found a handful of authors I liked, and who wrote the kinds of stories I personally liked, I looked at THEIR favorite stories lists, and THEIR favorite authors. I was going on the assumption that if we might have similar likes and dislikes based on the stories they wrote. That was the biggest benefit to finding stories that I enjoyed the most.
Becoming more voracious, I next started checking into the author's profiles. Based on their A/Notes where they often listed about winning awards, I started checking the award sites, which gave me another big list of favorite stories and authors and then I went back to reading THEIR faves again.

Then I started discovering the stories on Adult Fan Fiction
http://books.adultfanfiction.net/main.php?list=2065
Which, oddly enough led me to Twilighted where an author said there were more stories. While I like Twilighted, I have some issues with their layout and background. It's beautiful, but too hard to read, and too hard to access from a hand-held device. What I really DO like about Twilighted, though, are the forums which are more active and fun than Twilight Lexicon and a few others I've investigated. But as a story site, Twilighted doesn't let me see my favorite author's personal favorite stories.
So Twilighted for forums, but FanFiction for stories and the ability to find other new stories based on the favorites marked by my favorite authors.
So it's important to use your Favorite Authors and Favorite Stories tabs to help other readers find the stories you like.
I saw Lola tweet about a story called VR, so I checked her "favorite stories" link and found it. It's called "Volterra Rocks."
But this is a good example of how readers can find stories. BE SURE TO MARK YOUR FAVORITES AND FAVORITE AUTHORS.

Re: Fan Fic Recommendation Thread
I need more Twi stories. I have friends recommending all these great books that they swear will get me hooked, but I'm not ready to give up Twi itself yet.
Don't get me wrong. There are AWESOME stories. (Wide Awake, The Dominant, Behind Enemy Lines, etc.) But I need more to a Twilight FF story than just folks using Twilight character names. LolaShoes and a handful of others seem to be the only ones staying true to the series.
::makes thoughtful sounds::
Which brings up another thing in regards to all the new Twilight 'award' websites. What are the rules about recommending stories if the only association a nominated story might have with Twilight is the character names? Are all the categories allowing AU/AH nominees? In that case, are they really Twilight awards, or just awards for good writing and compelling story lines?
There needs to be a new designation... TICNO. It means "Twilight" in characters name only.

Most of my stories stay true to the characters.

My story is completely based on canon... takes place 3 years after Breaking Dawn... link is in my signature I wrote it for the same reason you mentioned... I wanted Twilight, not characters that looked like and sometimes acted like Twilight.gkk wrote:I need more Twi stories.

Amanda beth, I loved your story. I haven't gotten to all of it, because I have a ridiculous number of children, but you did a great job of staying in canon! Keep writing!

Re: Fan Fic Recommendation Thread
Could anyone recommend some FF about Emily & Sam? Emily is my favorite character and I would like to see how people treat her in FF. So far, I have only read one that Black recommended, about Emily being pregnant. Thanks!

Re: Fan Fic Recommendation Thread
Definitely check out "Life After Forks" by Amanda Beth if you haven't already. She does stay very close to canon, and her story is not filled with smut.
