I don't know about actually written Twilight reduces, but someone I know was planning a completely ridiculous one. I don't know if she's still planning on doing it, so I'll ask her.
We know they're out there- the fandoms that are so bad, there's a shortage of agents to kill the resulting badfics.
BUT.
What if you found a fanfic for a series like, say, Twilight, that was well-written, populated with interesting, realistic characters, and would have made for a much better story than the original work?
I'm not saying I would become a fan of the original work, but I'd definitely read the heck out of a rewrite of Twilight that didn't involve... um... lots of things.
Have any of you ever found anything like that? I've been keeping an eye out, but most works I've seen make me throw up in my mouth a little.
I read a fic in D-Gray Man fandom that I'll never forget. Actually the pairing that it listed was one of those juggernaut "hawt" yaoi pairings that fangirls shit their pants over. That said I was half expecting (okay...completely expecting) to find the usual half-arsed attempts at proper grammar, no appreciation for the cannon context, gross woobification of male characters yada yada yada.
It's been five years since I've read that fic and I'm still wiping off the leftover pieces of egg off my face because holly shit was I wrong...
You'll need to watch your language on the Board. I can't find an official rule in the Constitution about it, but it's really not polite to swear.
Back when I read Inheritance Cycle fanfic (yes, you all can laugh at me now), someone wrote their version of book four. It turned out to be rather good, and in my opinion was better than canon.
I just wish I could remember what happened in it. Anyways, the author wrote too much for one book and split it into two. Unfortunately, they gave up half way through the sequel. Here's a link.

It may not be as good as I remember, but hopefully won't be too much worse.

If you want Twilight to be smarter, and heaven knows how you'd make it dumber, then Luminosity, by Alicorn may just be for you. I certainly enjoyed it, and my views on Twilight are more commonly possessed by the characters of Fahrenheit 451.
Hope that was helpful! =]

Ironic overpower.
I think I'll be staying away from the Twilight fics for a while.
