staringattheskyhide bio
 Author has written 21 stories for Twilight. Australian, mother, would-be writer. I exist in the no-man's land of loving Twilight and also loving the whole anti-Twilight fandom too. I'll ship anyone if the writing is smart and makes me feel it. I love getting comments and reviews! Seriously, it makes my day (yes, I'm fundamentally insecure) so I encourage anyone who reads my stuff to leave me a note, question, comment etc. I'm really too old to be doing this. I write for Twilight. Rosalie and Emmett are my favourite characters; I'm not overly fond of Bella and Edward but I try to be fair to them in what I write! I love writing and reading about the Cullens and their interactions as a family. And, like everyone else on this site, I don't own Twilight, or any of the characters. If I did, I doubt I'd be writing fanfiction about it...I think I'd be rolling around in my piles of money, preferably with Kellan Lutz for company. At the moment I am crossposting here and AO3 under the same username - staringatthesky- more mature content will be over there only. archiveofourown(dot)org(forward slash)users(forward slash)staringatthesky(forward slash)pseuds (forward slash)staringatthesky |
