If fans are confounded by the news that a minor character from the series is the star of the first "Twilight" book in two years, they're not the only ones. "It's a surprise...I never intended to publish this story as a stand-alone book,"Read more... )

Watch out babe they might roll out of your head :3

[onempty]

Nah. They're pretty well stuck. |D

Have you changed your middle name to Cynical? :D

Welp, I went along with defending that Twilight wasn't the worst thing ever printed because hey, it gave great mocking material and there are worst books.

Oh wait I'm eating my words now. Fuck you Meyers. Fuck you and your vampires.

Watch out now, she might actually like the verbal abuse. After all Bella is just a personification of herself and Bella has such a 'wholesome' relationship with Edward.

[dreaming_faerie]

So who will "Bree" be a personification of?

... I love your icon.

Sterling as a gay man was just too funny. Especially when he got offended that no one thought he made a convincing homosexual.

Someone needs to take away her computer. Or her typewriter. And any pens in the house.

If I ever have children, I will make sure to do my damnedest that if they ever pick up this dreck, it'll be to make fun of it and to learn how NOT to court/be courted by anyone.

Bear in mind she is a woman whose sole purpose in life is to take the kids to school each day, cook meals and cleans for the man, and go to Church 3 times a week. Doesn't drink stimulants (coffee, tea, alcohol etc) and isn't allowed to have a job because that's her point of existence. The Twilight series is meant to apparently be her "outlet" from boredom and a need for her "dream husband". HMMMMMMMMM domestic issues much? :D

How about teaching your kids the old art of book burning and the appropriate subjects which can make good kindle? ^_^

[darknessdivine]

True enough; then perhaps it's her publisher that should be stripped of all ability to publish. In some ways she seems rather happy as a typical Mormon housewife, but if her book is anything to go by... Maybe not so much.

Still, as much as I despise the series for the serious equality issues and the horrid stereotyping the book presents, it's not one I'd consider burning. More like an example of what not to write. Though here's a few subjects I'd consider using for kindle.

Such as Eugenics.

I agree. We cant totally blame Meyer. Whoever published this crap (and didn't hire a proofreader) should be banned forever.

At work there's always an inner struggle when someone requests the twilight series.

"Well...at least they are reading...?"
"A poorly written story that is a terrible influence on young girls..."
"True...and Pattinson is really not cute"
"Yep"

Don't worry, someone will leak half of it onto the internet and she'll throw a big hissy fit about how her vision is compromised, pull the project for "rewrites" and never talk about releasing it again.

I think she's making it FOR TEH INTERWEBZ so she can pull in even more readers. But see this makes sense. This is how it SHOULD have been. She writes stories like a fanfic, so technically it should only have been online material on, say, fanfiction.net. How it got to publish and movie status is the mystery.

Everytime I see/hear anything about this woman, I want to punch her in the face for writing such shitty shitty 'novels'.

[inque]

Hopefully in the future after she is done being blinded by her fake success, realize the atrocity she has bestowed upon the world, and write a proper story where all the characters kill themselves to save mankind from their own actions.

[flamefoxfyre]

Alas, as she appears to be dumb as a bag of wet mice, I don't think she'll ever realise just how horrible her writing/characterisation really is. Although it would be great to see all the fans reaction if she basically ended the whole thing with a 'rock falls, everyone dies' moment. Hehe.

I still can't quite get over the fact that they're published at all, nevermind the movies and shit. There are so many, many great books out there that deserve that sort of attention(not necessarily getting movies made, but people at least reading them would be nice) more than that rubbish. Bleh!

dumb as a bag of wet mice

Apropos of nothing, I just wanted to say that this is an awesome simile!

I think it's a shame that crap like TWILIGHT gets published when we all know there's other people out there writing much, much better material that will probably never be published.
