As I'm sure you've noticed, there are quotes on every page of this fanlisting. I have a list of them and one is randomly selected everytime you reload this website or view a new page. To see the list of quotes I'm using, you can do so here.
The main page talks briefly about how this is a fanlisting for the novel Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, but for those of you who are more curious as to what a fanlisting is, here's a bit of a better defination for you.
"A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country."
- TheFanlistings.Org
TheFanlistings.Org (TFL) is a very large network that is basically a link exchange; it has links to nearly 50,000 subjects, ranging from musicians to places to subjects in school.
Just because a fanlisting is listed at TFL (ie this fanlisting for Twilight) does not mean it's official in any way shape or form--this fanlisting was created because I love this novel and wanted to see how many others are a fan of hers also. Neither Stephenie Meyer nor Little, Brown know of this fanlisting; it's just something for fun :)
However, if I ever do get a chance to show this to her (or if you do!) it would be wonderful to have a nice big list of fans from arond the world of this lovable story she's written, so please add your name to the list if you're a fan of Twilight!
This fanlisting was approved on May 26th, 2006 and is presently listed under the Literature category at TFL. Enthusiast 3.1.2 by the lovely Angela powers this fanlisting. All images used on this layout are from Twilight 1-3, the (illustrated!) Japanese equivalent of the American Twilight. Images used on the shiny buttons are from various translations of Twilight from around the world (which can be found at Stephenie Meyer's website) as well as from the Japanese drawings.
Isabella Swan, (more commonly known as Bella Swan), decides to move from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie Swan, in order to allow her mother to travel with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player. Never having had many friends before, at Bella's new school she is quickly accepted, and finds she has several boys competing for her attention.
Over time, Bella begins to find Forks boring and monotonous. The exception is Edward Cullen, the gorgeous, mysterious boy she sits next to in her biology class. Through careful observation, Bella realizes that Edward is not quite normal, but despite having many theories cannot bring herself to believe that there is a supernatural explanation for Edward's behavior.
Bella believes Edward hates her, but this begins to change. He displays superhuman abilities in saving Bella from being hit by an out-of-control van about to crush her in the student parking lot of the high school. She confronts him with the strangeness of the situation but he refuses to talk to her about it. As time passes, Bella and Edward are time and again drawn to each other despite Edward's best efforts to keep his distance from her.
Bella eventually learns, from her friend Jacob Black of the Quileute (pronounced Quil-yoot) tribe, and her own observations, that Edward and his family are reformed vampires who substitute animal blood for human blood in their diet.
Despite the obstacles presented by the vampiric nature of the Cullen family, Edward and Bella fall in love. Their foremost problem is Bella's alluring scent, which makes it difficult for Edward to restrain himself from drinking her blood. However, despite this and Bella's strange knack for constantly landing herself in dangerous situations, they manage to stay together safely for a time.
The seemingly blissful state of affairs is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks, and their leader, James, sets his sights on Bella. Thrilled as much by the idea of outwitting a clan of vampires as by Bella's scent, an interstate game of cat and mouse ensues. Bella, under the assumption that James has kidnapped her mother, is lured to her former ballet studio, where James attacks her. Edward rescues Bella before she is almost killed by James, along with the Cullen clan, save for Esme. In the chaos, Bella is nicked by James, which complicates matters further, due to the venom in the saliva when a vampire intends to bite. Edward takes up the task of sucking the venom out of Bella, thus saving her from the transformation, while also restraining his urge to drain or turn her.
The book ends with the two going to Bella's prom. Beneath the surface, tension remains as Bella wishes for Edward to turn her into a vampire so the two can spend eternity together, while Edward refuses to do so. The reason for Edward's adamant decision not to turn Bella into a vampire is not revealed.
