Okay, how much I laughed at this totally makes up for how long I had to wait for it (which I didn't mind. real life happens sometimes)

and this book WOULD be awesome if Edward was a pikachu

When he steps into the sunlight, I'd rather have him morph into a Pikachu than sparkle XD

*laughing hysterically at this idea*

I, on the other hand, probably will go to see the film. And I will disturb the entire cinema with my uproarious guffaws.

That's what I'm doing for New Moon. Our school is fundraising by selling tickets, so my friends and I have decided to sit in the back of the theater,make fun of the entire thing, and possibly throw popcorn.

Aside from a few comedic moments, it's the usual crapfest. I think you're way too generous in giving it a C. I don't consider this even close to redemption. One thing that keeps coming to mind is Bella's line in a previous chapter: "My mom says I was born 35 and keep getting more middle-aged every year." Seriously? The way she elevates Edward to the status of a god to be worshiped for the ground he walks on and the air he breathes.... Seriously. There is absolutely nothing of Bella's character that I would consider middle-aged. You could say her liking for classical music is one, but I disagree; classical music is enjoyed by all ages ( ... )

You make a VERY good point, and it's absolutely true ( ... )

Hey, sorry if this is off-topic, but you seem to know a lot about what constitutes a Mary-Sue character. I'm in the process of writing a sci-fi series (which won't be published for at least 10 years or so) and I would like to ask: does this character sound like a Mary Sue to you? (Keep in mind that the story is incomplete, so this isn't a 100% fleshed out character yet; here's only the basic outline of her ( ... )

When it comes to Mary Sues, everything depends on the writer ( ... )

*hugs* I am eternally grateful. Thank you.

I don't get Meyer at all. She could've really gone somewhere with this chapter, especially the Chemistry scene and the scene at Charlie's. I'm a guy, but I'll admit that a scene is cute or romantic in a GOOD way...I'm no writer but that was really crap. Bella could've snuggled with Edward in Chemistry, finally giving in to Edward. Then they could've been embarassed in front of the entire class when the lights came on...but of course nothing like that happens in Meyer's perfect little world. Oh well.
