Mine is lbg921@verizon.net. My only comment here is that I don't think the "fangs" are about genre, it's about the mythology, so how much does one feel free to change that when creating a vamp story, you can tweak it here and there, but the fangs IMO are essential, lalliebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412193861109295158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866371302108575489.post-45749607572391443332010-05-01T22:07:25.769-04:002010-05-01T22:07:25.769-04:00lallieb - Me?

Stephenie was trying to tie Jacob into Bella's family while still letting her be Edwards mate, she mentioned this so much, Bella wanted Jake to be her brother from the beginning.
