I’m sure it goes without saying that I am a huge Twilight fan. However, a bit more about me may be in order. I am a female, 26, and in college. I work as a manager for a call center, which gives me plenty of free time to read and study.

I love vampires. I’ve always been a big fan of that particular mythical creature. If I could choose any myth to be true, it would be that of the vampire.

Since that is likely never going to happen, I must appease my love of the fanged gods by immersing myself in related literature.

I have read all kinds of vampire books, and seen nearly as many vampire movies. However, none, not even my beloved Interview With a Vampire book or Queen of the Damned movie, truly grabbed my attention like Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.

It’s thanks to my 15 year old niece that I read these books at all. During a (somewhat disastrous) Thanksgiving meal, my niece was buried in a book for several hours. Upon asking her what the book was about, she explained that it was a wonderful vampire book, a love story, and was simply amazing.

A couple of weeks later I tracked down Twilight in the young adult section of my local library. I was a little embarrassed to be reading a “young adult” book, being 26 and all. However, I decided to give it a try. After the first few chapters, I was addicted. I read through all three books in less than a week, then proceeded to dig up all the fan fiction and information about Stephanie that I could find.

For me, the story of Bella and Edward has all the necessary components of a wonderful love story and a fully satisfying fantasy novel.

In honor of Bella and Edward, and to help keep my excitement about the movie in check, I have decided to start a fan-site with a pseudonym I’ve been using for awhile on World of Warcraft, and as my pen-name when writing fan-fiction.

Thank you, Stephanie Meyer, for giving me a new obsession.
