Your saying it does not in any way legitimize it. Vort is correct, it's gothic horror (not gothic fantasy) literature.

My favorite vampires are the badass ones from Cry of the Icemark, who metamorphose from giant blood-sucking bats to black-armored warriors with serrated-edge swords.

Let's see Edward beat that.

My uninformed (I haven't read them) opinion of the Twilight series is that it is analogous to the Inheritance Cycle for adolescent males, except intended for an adolescent female audience. Eragon is mediocre writing and an entirely ripped plotline, but it is written by someone with the mindset of an adolescent male, about an ordinary sixteen year old guy who is put into extraordinary circumstances--but still can't get his act together to face the girl and ends up being a total creep and stalking her, just like most sixteen year old guys do. Twilight is written by someone with the mindset of an adolescent female (although, since Christopher Paolini actually was adolescent at the time of his writing Eragon, and Stephanie Meyers is supposed to have matured, you could argue that Meyers deserves less respect than Paolini), about an ordinary adolescent female in extraordinary circumstances--that still over-analyzes the reactions of her perceived soulmate and does all the other creepy teenaged girl things.

You wouldn't happen to have those in pdf, doc(x) or txt form, would you? That sounds cool, and would be a nice addition to my 14,000+ ebook collection.

[Pasidon]

One of those 14,000 books wouldn't be part of the Twilight series, would it?

[Ash]

If it is, I don't know about it, but I will find out now and delete using the file shredder if there is, like I already did with the L Ron Hubbard archive.

EDIT: They were actually there. All fucking four of them. I almost hope those particular sectors of my hard drive go bad to rid my system of them.

Make an example out of it to the rest of your computer. It will make them fear the name Stephenie Meyer.

[Ring o' Fate]

Twilight books were meh. Movies, well, I'll just google a picture to show how painful it was.



...Yeah.

Nope... only in good old-fashioned hardcover.

Weren't you the OP who loved Twilight?

Fuckberries.

No, I still do. I'm allowed to love the dumbest things on earth.

[Allathar]

You love to hate it.

[Ash]

Meh, your mileage may vary, I suppose (evidenced by 90% of under-30 females and a microscopically small male demographic...) Most of the fangirls who like Twilight would die for their ship. I dread to think about the ship-to-ship combat that goes on on Twilight fanboards across the net.

Truth be told, though, it really is so bad it's horrible.

Best solution? Kill it with fire.

Yesterday I was at the "Boothbabe of the year" contest. One of the contestants had written that she was into books. When they asked her what her favourite was...it was Twilight
But it's a boothbabe...you can't expect much intellect

I've become obsessed with this franchise. No comments on the books since I've never read them, but the movie franchise for Twilight so far... I love it! It's rare to see a movie so easy to insult and criticize these days. And the Vampire genera has never been worse.
....
Post your irrational and senseless comments on this great franchise.

You're past reason. You've lost common sense.

That's all I shall say.

[Mathijs]

All this disecting of why Twilight is horrible is such a damnable waste of time and effort. Don't like it? Don't read it. But then again, most of you read terrible books anyway so you might as well check Twilight out.

[Pasidon]

Careful. We don't want any official book fans running around here. Though I need new people to mock.

[Ring o' Fate]

Wow. You sound like all the retards at my school that hate to read, there.

The rest of us can still mock you, though. That never gets old.
