Quick warning though... Edward is a big, fat, All-Human jerk to start. Oh, and rated M.

Just a warning to those beginning this, or thinking of it... We are in the "angst" part, of the angst/romance category. FYI.VolturiGirl wrote:I started to read Savage's Unexpected Circumstances.

Oh My Edward..!! So good. It is a WIP, but I cannot wait to see how it is going to end.

A very interesting question indeed. I can, at least, explain why it's so easy for me to lose myself in an AH or AU fanfic. Believe you me, I am the most stringent of fans when it comes to our beloved characters. I get insensed when I see characterizations of them that push too far. But, that line that denotes "too far" can be kind of fuzzy. For instance, I have heard about/started to read an AH fic where Edward is an exotic dancer ( 
) and that one I just could not get into because I could not picture that Edward realistically. However, the fics where Edward is a powerful businessman with relationship issues (*coughFiftycough*) I have absolutely no problem. I think, for me anyways, that limit is found in the fact that we don't know what Edward or Jasper or Esme or Rose would be if they had stayed human. The possibilities are limitless. In as long as you stay within those personality characteristics that honor our sweet kids, then it's kind of easy for me to suspend reality and say, "what if". And, quite frankly, many of those stories that I do find myself sucked into are, in fact, the ones where, but for a few details, they are stories in and of themselves. Master of the Universe, Wide Awake, Emancipation Proclamation... just to name a few. I think what it actually speaks to is the universality of SM's characters. That their personality traits, the pieces that make them who they are, are so universally attractive, that people of that nature can be placed in any situation and we find ourselves sucked into their stories.

I have been thinking on how to answer you. Do you remember those choose your own adventure books? Twilight fanfic, to me, is like a choose your own adventure story. Also, Edward is suppose to appeal to us as the sexy, angry, and protective lover. So you get these fanfics that are written as Edward being the angry, sexy boss (or whatever roll the author has him in) to poor defensless Bella who changes him into a good guy. Whatever Edward is, or I should say, whatever roll you want your Edward to star in, you read. You get to pick and choose your adventure.
