My earliest memories are of loving reading. I devoured books. When anyone asked what I wanted for gifts, be it a holiday or birthday, the answer was always the same—books. As a child, I ignored my imposed bedtime by reading under the covers with a flashlight until my parents threatened to take away my book. That was the only coercion that could make me put a bookmark in an unfinished chapter.

Without apology, I am addicted to all things Twilight, but especially to good ExB fanfics. I devoured all the Twilight books in just a few days. When I was done, I wanted more. I found FF about two years ago and started a new addiction. Seriously. My FF collection contains over 1,300 files.

Right now, I have the honor of being a beta for sheviking, saritadreaming, bornonhalloween, savage7289, shellshock81, and postapocalypticdepository. My friendship with each of these women has enriched my life beyond words—how ironic!

My respect for the writers who contribute to this fandom knows no bounds. The support given to one another is nothing less than what one family member gives to another. That's why I keep coming back for more.
