Basically, I'm reading/writing fanfic to avoid real life. ;) Oh, and I have just a tiny little obsession with Edward....but who doesn't.
There's more information/links/playlists out on my fanfiction.net page. The link is above.

Summary:  
This is Edward's side of the bedroom reunion scene in eclipse (Chapter 8: Temper, pages 185-195). Many thanks to psymom and MarcyJ for very thorough and extremely helpful betas - they're amazing! As usual, all the regular disclaimers apply: Stephenie Meyer owns all things twilight; no money is being made from this work; and absolutely no copyright infringement is intended. The dialog from eclipse here is copied only for clarity. Thanks to Stephenie for creating such wonderful characters! One other note: I am a member of team Switzerland - I do not dislike Jacob, so don't be upset with me. Edward, on the other hand, has his own opinions... In Edward's words...

Title: Chapter 4: Strawberry Blonde - Bella's Jealousy
I'm thoroughly avoiding work (while at work) today, and I stumbled upon this story. I absolutely LOVE in-canon Edward POV stories. Add to that that this is one of my favorite parts of Eclipse (along with the Compromise chapter, and the meadow scene at the end), and I was hooked.
WONDERFULLY written - I really like how you've portrayed Edward to be as preoccupied with certain things as Bella. And I loved the insight into the Tanya proposition!
Okay, I should probably get back to work now..... :( Great story though!

Title: Chapter 16: Despair
I can't begin to tell you how GREAT this is! I've always felt that writing from Alice's POV would be too daunting with the visions - there's just so many endless possibilities of what you can detail that she sees and doesn't see. But you've craftily picked out the best tidbits of Twilight/Midnight Sun to focus on that add a whole new exciting layer to the story! Also, as the biggest Edward fan on the planet, I absolutely love how you've detailed the special relationship between him and Alice. I think everyone in the Cullen family has a soft spot for Edward! Please update soon! :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much! I really appreciate the time you took to read and review. I'm glad you're enjoying the story! Alice is my very favorite, and it's a lot of fun writing that relationship. I have a new chapter in the queue. Hopefully it will be posted soon. Thanks again!
Summary: 
"Two or three weeks ago, I wouldn't have hesitated. I would have been the first one through the curtain of dark leaves and tree trunks; I had nothing to fear in there – besides the odd offending tree root. Three weeks ago, the forest held no threat to me. I had a small army of vampires and werewolves constantly protecting me; there was no reason to fear it.
But something was there now, something I needed to fear. Something unknown and unprecedented. Something that had the entire Cullen family on edge – and that was reason enough."

Title: Chapter 4: Redding (S)
WOW - this is unbelievably good! And it's your first fanfic? No way! I stumbled upon it yesterday and started reading the first chapter at work, and quickly picked up to finish it this morning. I love how you've kept the characters true to their existing nature in the books, yet you've allowed Bella to "grow" a bit, and realize her true nature as it pertains to Edward and the rest of the Cullens. I can't wait to see what upcoming chapters hold - very, very well done! Author's Response: Oh my goodness, you're so kind! I literally have no words (that doesn't happen very often, either).
I'm so glad people are seeing that growth with Bella! I was terrified everyone had moved on to All-Human fic, and this would be bypassed as just another rewrite of scenes, and no one would see how I was trying to make her grow up a little. :D
And thank you so much for the wonderful review.
Summary: The time had come for us to relocate. Again. I’d caught a few stray thoughts from several of the wary, yet still exceptionally unobservant humans, who seemed to find it odd that in the seven years of living here we seemed to lack the aging gene.
15 years have passed since Renesmee was born, and now the Cullens are relocating. Renesmee, Jacob and Bella experience the high school charade for the first time with the rest of the family. But what happens when Jacob wants to start a little bet?
Edward's POV at first, though it might change in later chapters. First Twilight fanfiction, so please read and review.

Title: Chapter 1: Preparations
I really like this story so far - I wouldn't worry about the length at all. You wouldn't be doing Edward justice if you rushed through his thoughts! I'd also keep it in Edward's POV (but then again, I'm terribly partial to his side of things) - you can easily cover off on the thoughts of the others this way without loosing anything. Overall writing style is good too, though it never hurts to find a beta (if you don't have one). I'll be looking forward to the next chapters! :)

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
I really liked this piece - even if you had to change a few minor details! I thought you captured Edward perfectly. As a big fan of Edward (and writing from him POV), I love stories that stay true to his character. And I loved their classmate's comments! :)
Author's Response: Thank you! "Captured Edward perfectly"-- that is the best compliment I could receive.
Summary: 
Bella challenges Edward's limits of self control by insisting that he build up his tolerance level to intimacy.
Set in the 6 week 'blank period' at the end of Eclipse / beginning of Breaking Dawn, between the battle, and the wedding. Bella and Edward expand and deepen their physical relationship in preparation for their impending marriage.

Title: Chapter 7: Breakfast, and some light reading
Another great chapter - I particularly liked the line: "I’ll be the piano, soon." - That's all sorts of awesome! Can't wait to read the next chapter, and no, I didn't google the Kama Sutra, because this is my work computer, and I'm probably in enough trouble for reading stories like these at work.. :) Author's Response: OMG LOCQUA left me a review! I am honored, and humbled! YOU my dear are made of AWESOME. I'm beyond thrilled you like my story! Mwah! -SP
Summary: 
Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list of things that she and Edward can do together once they're happily married. She's surprised to find she might be able to cross some things off earlier than she thought...
Story contains mature themes and is not intended for younger readers.

Okay, since we didn't get anything removed from the list in this chapter (just more stuff added to it!), I have high hopes for the next chapter. No pressure! :) Seriously though, well done - can't wait to see what's up next! Author's Response: I think your high hopes are warranted and I'll try not to disappoint.

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Games
Very awesome again - I LOVE the storm in the background - very cool!
I'm pretty sure these two are going to implode before the list is done. My God- that shower scene was just too intense! And a candle and teaspoon....hmm....I think I may know what she's up to. Naughty Bella!
Good luck on the novel contest....that's really cool that you're looking to get published. It's always been a dream of mine, but just as I started working on my original story, I got WAY too caught up writing fanfic, and I haven't touched it in four months! Hopefully, I'll find the desire to go back to it....if this mad obsession with everything Edward ever ends.
Great story - can't wait for the next chapter! Author's Response: Either they'll implode, or I will. Not sure which. XD
Thanks for the good luck. My brain was mostly mush after I finished the novel, and I only managed to write two chapters each for two other novels (one a sequel to the completed one and the other a new story) before my brain rebelled and said "Enough for a while already!" So then I turned to fan fiction to keep the writing muse in shape until my brain is ready to build whole new worlds of my own. Thanks!

Title: Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Music
Well, maybe you should get sick more often! :0 That was a GREAT chapter - and of course, nice and long! Bella's list better get longer or she's going to run out of things to accomplish before the wedding!
Being a piano player, I loved the whole piano bit. Edward + Baby Grand = hopefully good dreams tonight!
Seriously, I hope you're feeling better - nothing worse than being sick. Thanks again for a great chapter - can't wait for the next one! Author's Response: Not to worry, Bella's list remains a work in progress! Glad you're enjoying! More soon!

Title: Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Words and Letters
Man....more great things added to the list! How far do you plan on taking this story - and are you going to stay in-canon or go a bit AU for us and change up the events of BD? (because I'd be perfectly okay with that!) I'm really curious to see how this "taste my blood" wish is going to shake out. And I wonder where Bella got her tattoo....hmmm...probably somewhere Charlie would hopefully ever see, yet Edward would....I can think of a few places!
And Emmett is so cruel....funny, but cruel! Hopefully he doesn't give her too much crap about that. I was thinking for a moment that they found Edward's shirt from the piano rendevous. That would have been way worse!
Great job - can't wait for the next chapter (I want to see this thunderstorm come up sooner than later!) Author's Response: If I go past the wedding they WILL go to Isle Esme but then everything after that will be different. The angst that happens in BD on their honeymoon just wouldn't make sense in this context. And the baby thing, well, I'm not so interested in that particular storyline. Thanks for all these specific comments!

Summary: 
Edward reveals a secret from his human time which leaves Bella shocked and wondering just how well she knows the man she is about to marry.
This is very much an Edward and Bella love story.

Title: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: George
This story just keeps getting better and better! I'm dying to hear what Edward's been hearing. At first, I was afraid this sort of AU situation might seem a bit unrealistic (in comparison to the canon of the books), but I was totally wrong - it's great!
I'm also looking forward to Edward's "intimacy" issues with Bella....but who isn't? :)
You're a wonderful writer, and I think you've done a suberb job adding in new, believable characters. It's not an easy thing to do. Looking forward to the next chapter! Author's Response: Wow, thanks very much! I'm so glad you're still enjoying it. Next chapter should be up soon.

Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 6: What Edward Heard
Another great chapter! I really liked how George sort of "knew" what Edward was without knowing he was a vampire - nice way to add that detail without it coming across contrived.
But now I have to know - are they going home, or back to the hotel?? ;) My vote is for the hotel!
Can't wait for the next chapter! Author's Response: Oh, they're going back to the hotel. And maybe they'll break a bit of new ground together. We'll have to see - but the next chapter is in the queue and will hopefully be up soon.

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Dancing and Decisions
I KNEW he'd want to tell George! And I like that...in fact, I wonder if George hasn't been suspicious of something for a better part of his life....
GREAT chapter - but Bella dancing? Didn't see that one coming. But then again, it's sort of of nice to see her have a moment of not being a total klutz. I also liked how you made her more assertive and strong - that was one thing I got a little sick of in the books. She sort of turned into a whiner at the end, and did some things that really annoyed me....
Can't wait for the remaining chapters, though I"ll be sad when this is finished. Hopefully you have more stories planned! ;) Author's Response: Thank you very much. Bella is discovering some more things about herself, and starting to feel a bit more confident and strong - I was trying to reflect that with her dancing. And I also wanted to give Edward something to admire, like her moving in new, exciting ways, seeing as Bella gets to see him all wet. Keeping them both happy.

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Break and Enter
So I'm going to ask the million dollar question that I'm sure you're getting asked a lot - since the story is already AU, are you going to keep going and let Edward cave and get more intimate with Bella? Or are you going to make them wait until the wedding? ;)
Another great chapter - I loved the discussion between George and Edward - very believable. Though it was interesting how Bella went emo on us this time vs. Edward - that's usually not the case!
Can't wait for the next chapter! The meadow....oh yeah.....

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Tank Tops and Tent Pegs
Wow - great chapter! I really loved the whole "Possessiveward" bit...I don't know why, but that is just so terribly hot!
Leave it to Bella to fall of the ladder - I was expecting Mike to hit on her or something, not impale herself on tent pegs - ouch!
Looking forward to the next chapter! :) Author's Response: Thanks very much, next chapter is in the queue.

Title: Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Hating Mike Newton
I just want to cast my vote for you continuing - I want to see you do the wedding and honeymoon!
Great as always - very few AU stories stay so true to the characters like this one does, even with George in the mix. I like that - and I think it shows real talent that you're able to do so.
Can't wait for the next chapter! Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm working on the next chapter now.
Summary: 
All told from Edward's POV, The Acclimation Diaries, chronicles Edward’s struggles with learning to control himself and taking things one step at a time as he acclimates himself to Bella sexually in preparation of their impending wedding night. Can he keep his desire in check or will he snap?

Title: Chapter 2: Perversion (V)
So I absolutely LOVED "Testing the Waters" & "Show me" - so when I was just checking out the most recent stories out here and saw you had a new one up, I had to read it. It's GREAT! I love stories about Edward that are non AH and mostly in-canon (a little bit of AU never hurt anyone). You're a very talented writer - I love how you've been able to describe Edward's natural tendency towards Angsty-ness without overdoing it. And who doesn't like stories where they're pushing the boundaries! ;)
Though I do have to say - was it Emmett who took the pictures, or was it just his idea? Because I would think Edward would KILL HIM if he had taken those pictures! Alice, not so much.
Regardless, great story, I'm definitely putting in on alert, and can't wait for more! :) Author's Response: Thank you SOOOO much! That totally just made my day, you have no idea!!! No, Emmett did not take the pictures, it was just his idea.
Again, thank you so much for taking the time to read and review!! You are awesome!! *MWAH*
