Twilight fanfic: is it all terrible?

[ghost2]

Twilight series quote of the day (from Breaking Dawn, page 94): I've never been so happy in all my life--I wasn't this happy when you decided that you loved me more than you wanted to kill me....



I wonder if good Twilight fanfic exists. My searches have mostly turned up schlock with summaries similar to these:

Bella is a mermaid and Edward is the sailor who finds her.

I suck at summery's just read it.

like twilight but edward is human and bella is the vampire can true love prevail. Read 2 find out!!!!!


I believe, however, that things hit a new low with one particular story. The author was trying to indicate that the fic was a ménage à trois. Actually, it was a foursome and she called it, get this, a Menasha twa.

I broke. I made my first topic at fanficrants in ages about this subject. (BTW, if you go to look at the story in question, be warned that it's extremely adult in nature.)

Has anyone ever found any decent Twilight fic? In my searches, I don't think I saw a single story that I would recommend to anyone I like and want to remain on good terms with.

I've been in fandom for a couple years *is embrassed* and while I'm not good and critiquing fics, but I can tell you what I like- and I think I'm pretty picky (i.e Mary Sues, bad grammar, and badly written plots should all be gathered in one room and shot- repeatedly) Keep in mind I've never completed the Twilight series - as I can't stand the books-, but for some reason, the fandom for this series still appeals to me- though I agree most fics make me want to claw my eyes out. I'm sadly persistant though.

Here's a fic (probably one out of the two I can safely say I like) I'm currently obsessing over:

Innocent, Vigilant, Ordinary by Oxymoronic8 http://www.twilighted.net/viewstory.php?sid=297

summary from author:
Bella Swan spent the first two years of her life in Forks developing a friendship with Jacob Black that finally turned into something more. As she begins her senior year of high school, a new family moves to town and Bella slowly begins to question the path she thought her life would follow. Sometimes there is a difference between what you think you need and what you never knew you wanted. Takes place during the timeframe of New Moon and Eclipse. J/B at first, but eventually E/B.

No weird characterazation (at least in my opinion) Not to mention I like this much better than the book. But that's just me. There's also a pair of authors I like, but I'll just rec this one for now. Let me know if your interested.
