Dear readers, I know I don't write often (not nearly as often as I would like), but I want you to know how much I appreciate your readership. I also want to make you a promise. I will NEVER pull any of these stories to try and publish them in the mainstream. I think that's truly lazy writing - if you're going to write fan fic, write fan fic. If you're going to write for publication, write for publication. So, you have my word that as long as Fanfiction dot net is here, my stories will be here for your reading pleasure.

Sincerely,

ManyWords

I have a rich inner life, which I sometimes write down. I'm thirty-mumble-something. I'm a huge Twilight fan, though I also love Firefly and the Hunger Games trilogy. I adore reading and usually read on my Kindle, which is the best thing since sliced bread, or my laptop. I am currently working on a novel during the day, but I have a couple of fan fics in the works.

I'm @many_words on Twitter. Come say "hi" if you'd like.

I hope that you enjoy my stories. Reviews and feedback are greatly appreciated.

February 2011 - I am participating in the Fandoms Fight the Floods (@Fandoms4Floods on Twitter) by writing two stories. Two wonderful people have kindly taken on making banners for these stories*. The second one is still in production and I will update as soon as it's done. I'm so thrilled to have such amazing art for my stories. I hope you'll go and donate so you can read not only my stories, but the over 200 other stories being included in this compilation.

Darkness Into Light Banner made by the incredible Rosalynn!

Members of the Volturi Guard have been turning up dead, their severed heads found across Volterra. Aro demands that Jane handle the investigation personally, though she hasn't left the Palazzo since she was turned into a vampire over two hundred years ago. As more of the Guard disappear Jane finds herself stalked by the vigilante known only as The Light. Will she find the vigilante and stop the murders or will her failure cause the very foundations of the Volturi to be destroyed? Canon, pre-Twilight by about five years, Volturi. Rated PG-13 for violence.

Cullen For Hire Banner made by the amazing MDealsWithIt (@MDealsWithIt on Twitter).

Isabella Swan is a Fortune 500 CEO with no time for a social life. When Edward Cullen shows up in place of the male escort she hired for the night will he be able to fulfill all her needs and stop her from destroying his family's company? All human, E/B. Rated M for sex and adult situations.

.* After much trial, error and banging my head against the wall I figured out I can't post the banners so they'll show up on this page. Instead, you'll have to click the title of the story, which will take you to the banner. Sorry for any inconvenience. Also, I can't for the life of me figure out why the asterisk at the beginning of this footnote won't stay put if it's the first character on the line. If anyone more familiar with ffDOTnet knows would you please pm me?
