I reworked that extensively and eventually published it as a novella under the title - Unmade. <br /><br />I also went by the name Alitriona. AT by those who knew me. Alitriona is the name of the main character in Shades of Atlantis which was trunked at the time and my name choice was a throwback to that. As well as writing, I made fan trailers and posted them under Alitriona and Wide Awake Rehab. Some of the fics they were based on went on to be published, so it's a little strange looking back on them now. :) CarolOateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589011233661606242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845972274166862082.post-4439139243104636462015-10-14T04:09:26.950+01:002015-10-14T04:09:26.950+01:00Oops!

Twilight fanfiction has been a huge part of my life for several years now. Although, as you said, many have moved on from it, there are still plenty of us left! I still read fanfic voraciously and the writing continues to be as good or better than many published books I've read. As you mentioned, there are many great things about the fandom. Besides getting to read wonderful stories, I met my bestie through our shared love of fanfiction and can't imagine my life without her. I've also had the privilege of donating to many worthy causes and gotten to know many wonderful women (and a couple of men! LOL). I don't see myself getting sick of reading Twi-fic anytime soon, and am hoping writers keep posting new stories for a long time to come. I'm thrilled to say I have many books on my Kindle and on my bookshelf written by the amazing authors whose work I've so loved in the fanfic world. Debbie in S.

Though I wasn't part of the Twilight fandom early on, I'm glad I met you through Omnific! <3Jennifer Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300124780126853962noreply@blogger.com
