What Parents Need to Know
This review of Equinox: Interactive Twilight RPG was written by Jacqueline Rupp
Parents need to know that although this site calls itself an RPG (role-playing game), it's not really a game. It's a place for fans of the bestselling Twilight series to share their own creative writing based on the books -- sort of like an English class assignment that calls for writing alternative endings or scenes for a book. Although most of the content is tame, there are flirtatious and intense moments created by members writing out imaginary scenes from the storylines. The writing level is probably also more appropriate for older kids who will have the patience and understanding of literature to follow complex plots and write in-depth fiction. For that reason, this is a site that will allow teens an outlet to flex their creative muscle while immersing themselves in one of their favorite stories.

Is It Any Good?
When was the last time you heard of teens competing for the most
well-written story or the most paragraphs written? If the Twilight book
series has inspired young readers to rack up more page time than screen
time, then EQUINOX: THE INTERACTIVE TWILIGHT ROLE PLAYING GAME can be
credited with getting young visitors to log in lots of creative writing
time. With a dedicated administration that takes safety and Twilight
authenticity very seriously, this site exists as a labor of love that
has blossomed with the help of some very dedicated members. Some of the best features include the ability to jump from one "realistic" Twilight setting to another, an out-of-character chat feature and plenty of space to take a stab at fiction writing in a safe and supportive environment. The site has expertly moved the Twilight story into cyberspace, allowing members to float through Forks and mingle with the Volturi while adding new characters to the mix.

Truly Amazing!!
I've been on NOX since April and I have to say my writing has really improved. Equinox has given me the chance to meet people I have much in common with and to finally feel like I belong. The staff are truly amazing and dedicated to improving the site and keeping the rules from being broken.

PERFECT!
This site is amazing! My writing has improved, I understand the books better, and the layout is -gorgeous-! Like BallerinaWriter I have also learned how to make my own graphics through this site as well as learning how to write better. Kids reveiwing here should remember that this is for the site, not for the Twilight movie (which I agree could have been better in places). But this site.. wow there's absolutely nothing wrong with it at all!

A Great Opportunity for Twilight Loving Teens
I've been on Nox for a year and it's a wonderful site. My writing has improved a lot, both from writing and reading other people's writing. Character development is really stressed, and I've really learned about the process of watching a character develop and grow. I've also learned about graphic design from making graphics for the members. Nox has also given me so many wonderful opportunities. I've had the chance to help out with their encyclopedia project and participate in podcast with other Nox members from around the world. The site is a wonderful environment and the staff members are very helpful and considerate. It's a great place to be a part of.
