User blog comment:GillianBlack1/my reasons for Jacob/@comment-3252045-20101206062701

I agree with you. I've once had a full on, 5 page debate with someone on fanfiction.net over my reasoning for being on 'Team Jacob'. I also have to keep reminding them that I DON'T hate Edward, unlike they hate Jacob. (The thread was named 'Lets Punch Jacob Black in the face'). The story would be nothing without Jacob, it would not create complications and an intriguing plot and love triangle. Plus, the love him and Bella share, despite people saying it is more brotherly and sisterly, I find it nicer. It is easier to relate to as it derived from a friendship and grew into intense feelings. Whereas Edward and Bella was more love at first sight stuff, which I personally don't believe in. But that's just me.
