    Stephanie Meyer provided the Target, Kouta Hirano, Jim Butcher, Joss Whedon, Bram Stoker, Mike Mignola, Marv Wolfman, Robert E Howard, Type-Moon, Simon R. Green, Niel Gaiman and no shortage of other people created the Means and I created the End. But this does not entitle me to 33%.

    Tolkien was not involved in any way, shape or form. You should totally read his books anyway.
    This is not simple Twilight bashing. I could never write that, it would be wasting everyone's time. What I am doing is extending the philosophies and concepts in all of these works to see how they work in concert, while expressing a certain interest in writing interactions between certain characterizations and archetypes. Yes, Twilight characters die, but this is not hate. This is a kind of hard love. Enjoy it.

    This takes place around the end of the second Twilight Book, set in 1998. Or something like that. You don't have to be familiar with all those people to read this, but it helps.

    The writing seems pretty solid, likewise spelling and grammar. It's too early to judge the plot, which while it seems rather contrived and crack-like, does seem to be fun enough.

    It's possibly too early to tell right now, but I'm going to give it a 3/5.

    Okay, I'm reading it right now. I'll admit, I totally shuddered when I saw this was a Twilight crossover, but I'll be fair and give it a look before judging.

    I like how frodrick selectively neglects to mention the Twilight crossover.

    Thanks for the warning.

    That is one HELL of an x-over. Writing is sound, but doesn't keep my interest story-wise. Don't know much of the plot, so no official rating, but will say a tentative 3/5. Probably won't be following it, though.

    @OP. Are you the author? If not, how the hell did you stumble across it?
