Hello fellow Twilight fan fiction lovers. I wanted to tell you a little about myself. My name is Crystal, formally Preciousfairymom80. I found fan fiction after reading the twilight series for the 9th time. No matter how many times I've read it, it stays the same. I got into after my cousin told me about the books. This happened not long after I lost my husband. Through Twilight, I channeled my grief and am doing well. Having said that, I have learned a lot from not only Stephenie Meyers but the authors on here as well. I must say that you guys have pulled me out of a dark place many times.

I'm one of those who really isn't just team Edward or team Jacob. I've read stories on here that has made me love and hate both. I only read m rated stories thanks to all the teasing Stephenie put us through. I don't burn or flame anyone when I review. It's wrong all the way. You can find a nice way of saying you don't like stuff with out being cruel. Besides, if you don't like it just remember, its just how some one else pictured their Twilight universe. Don't hate.

If you want a visual of my vision of The Dusk world, I have a photobucket account where you can get an idea of the people and places. Just remember that my Jacob is Steven Strait. He's the only original character I changed. I decided to keep my banners with Taylor Lautner as a convenience to my readers as a lot of them picture him as Jacob. You can also see manips that I've run across and I'm slowly adding to it. The link is below.

Smmiskimen (Shannon) does all my beta'ing. Her and I have found a wonderful sisterhood through this fandom. That's something that I will always cherish. I don't think she really understands how special she is, both as a beta and a best friend. Thanks Shannon.

Please be kind when you review. I don't mind criticism, I encourage it in fact. Just remember to keep it kind when you do it. Thanks for all the love and support from each of my readers/reviewers. You guys keep me writing. You don't know how it brightens my day.
