Meeting a Twilight fan

I was at the Medicare office this week making a claim. [No, I can’t do it online. No, I don’t know why it won’t let me do it. I don’t mind walking up to the mall.]I yawned, and the lady asked me what job I did to start so early and be off work in the afternoon. I have struggled with owning the fact that I write, so I decided to step up to it and I answered that I was a writer.“Oh, wow. I admire anyone who can produce a whole book.”And off she went to prattle on about her favourites (Nora Roberts). When she asked me what I wrote I said supernatural stuff; werewolves and so on. Also one of her favourites. I said I had given a lot of stories away. [It’s the easiest way to explain fanfic to people who don’t know what it is.] “Why?”I wasn't sure that I could write a whole book either.And then she leaned forward and she said, “One of my favourite books is Twilight.”Really? I love it, too. We chat about going to the midnight movie sessions.“I adore Edward.”Wolf girl all the way, I say.“You think she should have chosen Jacob?”No. [How do I explain my obsessive adoration of Paul?] I have written alternate versions of the Twilight books.Here, I say, and I write out my fanfiction name for her. Google mrstrentreznor and you will find my stories.
It will be interesting to see if she has read any by the next time I go in to the office. But even if she doesn't like *my* stories, hopefully I've opened a whole new world of fanfiction for her to read.
