》The poem mentioned in Chapter 1, "Man and Woman" by Astrid Claire, can be read in the summary of this story's Quotev version. It was, as said, made by Astrid Claire who is one of the authors of this story.
》The poem was supposed to be used as a summary for a RWBY fan fiction which features a love story between Ozpin and a Fem!OC (a slight love triangle with Qrow Branwen), starting from their training years at Beacon Academy.
》EmSAh had watched all the movies and read all the books but never became much of a fan (she only did those to criticize). Astrid Claire did not watch the first movie entirely, was forced to watch New Moon when her mother stole the TV, caught a glimpse of Breaking Dawn Part 1 when her aunt watched it in DVD, and watched Breaking Dawn Part 2 in cinema just to see how the saga would end. She read the first three chapters of the first book and did not retain anything aside from the fact that Bella Swan was the most monotonously boring heroine she had ever read about.
》This fan fiction was conceptualized after Breaking Dawn Part 2 was released. Both authors searched for some good stories and became enamored with interpreting each character while linking them together in a single storyline.
》As the conceptual ideas progressed, it went from: a crack humor story about this random reader-insert based on lists of "How to Annoy..." , a family story of how the Cullens adopt a gifted baby, a slice-of-life-yet-tragic romance between Edward and his childhood friend, a friendship story about Jasper and his human bestfriend who forcefully died by his hands because of Maria, a not so romance-centric interpretation of the saga, a character development of Alice and Rosalie with the help of a light-hearted human girl, and then a way to make Isabella Swan a more acceptable character.
》The end result was a combination of all these which would hopefully look better than it sounds.
》The knowledge of the canon plotline was based on 70% research on the Wikia or Wikipedia, 20% references of other Twilight fan fictions, and 10% personal authors' knowledge of the books and movies.
》Astrid Claire's high school English teacher skipped out on fully reading the Twilight Saga after becoming an avid fan of the Hunger Games Trilogy and supporting the Harry Potter Series under the firmly blunt reasoning that Meyer's work had too many grammatical errors for a novel series that "annoyed the heck out of her too much to keep reading" according to said teacher.
》This story was going to be firmly about the events of Twilight with a different heroine. However, after reading too many clichés and as the plot became too redundant, the authors decided otherwise by choosing to delve deeper into the Cullens' pasts in the pre-canon timeline.
》This decision helped strengthen a healthier and more reasonable romantic plot while also keeping the setting not as romance-centric as the saga was in canon.
》Since the OC's past would involve introducing too many other OCs for the sake of the plotline, the authors had an idea to crossover the plot instead so the holes would be filled by canon characters from other fandoms that could fit into Twilight.
》The greatest dilemma that the authors faced story-wise is either who Sunny Constantine's face claim would be or what car she should drive.
》TBC...?
