Doomed Ships
*SIGH* I feel like a Team Jacob adulteress.
Between mera_naam_joker who got me into Paul/Bella and then Sam/Bella and briefly Carlisle/Bella
Mrstrentreznor who just cemented my Paul/Bella ship and recently my Quil/Bella ship
and of course LJ_Summers lovely Embry/Bella, I sometimes feel like these amazing stories, doomed and crackish as some of them may be, set a higher standard in what I look for in Jacob/Bella fics.
(For some reason I never looked at any other pairings for Jacob, yet I seem completely open for Bella.)
Am I alone here? When I was new to Twilight I would read anything Team Jacob. I judged the story based on my interest in plot, grammar, pacing and smut content.
Now, I compare. After reading so many Paul/Bella fics, I sometimes look for an aggressive, dominating Jacob. I look for how others portray Jacob when he's not Bella's main love interest. I look at how Bella is portrayed when paired with such different wolves.
I know that this is a Jacob community, but am I the only that has strayed into other pairings? How has these fics from other ships affected how you look at Jacob/Bella fics?
