Retro Recs Pt. 2

How did we all fall into this tunnel that is fanfiction? Easy - one fanfic at a time.

And since we know that many of you out there are just now starting this crazy journey, we thought we'd share some stories that have accompanied our first step in our earlier days of sleepless nights, burnt dinners, forgotten kids, all in the agitated, gut-wrenching, breath-stopping days of waiting for an update that would make us or break us.

Now the majority of those jewels have long been completed, and those of you who are fairly new to this might not have heard of these stories, since they've been around the block a couple of times.

The purpose of our Oldie But Goodie is just this - to bring to you a selection of some stories that can justly deserve to be called "classics" in Twilight fanfiction, that are complete and readily available to the common fanfic addict on any fanfic site (fanfiction, ADF or Twilighted to name but a few).

We have, therefore, deliberately omitted those "pillars of the earth" that, due to the convoluted and perilous ways of the fanfic world, have either been pulled by the authors or are otherwise no longer available to the general public in fanfic format.


Enjoy! 


And just in case you missed it, here's our first part one of our stroll down the Fandom's Classics Wing.  Retro Recs
