Ok so after I posted my last journal I got some hate mail about what I said about 'darling' Edward...the fucking fairy.

talking about how I don't know anything about what good literature is and that I haven't read the books..Good literature...good literature....*twitches*

As a matter of fact I Acutely HAVE read the books just to see what all the fuss was about when it first came out..and Honestly I keep asking myself, "why is this so popular?"

Edward has nothing in common to the Vampire - aside form the fact that he drinks blood, and it's not even human blood. He relates more to a evil fairy than a Vampire.

Not to mention the book comes though as written by a 13 year old girls idea of a perfect relationship as enforced by todays media. The books are full of continuity errors, biggest one being Edward knocking up Bella. Early on it is says that the only bodily fluid Edward has is venom, no sperm, and it clearly says Vampires cannot procreate. And yet Bella pops a mini fairy out.(Vampire apparently)

The books promote teenage pregnancy, Spousal abuse - psychologically and physically, and unrealistic expectation of relationships for men, dismissing education and more.

And what is worse this has spawned a recent outbreak of shadily not to mention horribly written literature surrounding the subject and tying to ride the success of one novel that isn't that great.

Teens and adults alike are even taking the obsessions too far - from murdering the pets of those who oppose Twilight, to divorcing there husbands because they are not Edward.

Good literature my ass. If you wanna read a good fucking vampire book? Read any of Anne Rice's vampire chronicles. Now that's good literature. so in closing, Twilight is a rising trend of mass market garbage that is being forced into our society.


Edit
ok so after some MORE hate mail from Twi-fagfans telling me I know nothing about this stupid series here you go:

Previously on As the Vampire Sparkles, emoteen Bella Swan moves to a tiny little depressing rainy town and won't shut up about it. There she meets a mysterious boy who turns out to be a 100+ year-old vampire who literally sparkles "like diamonds" in direct sunlight and reads minds (but not hers), and after three hundred pages of Bella wondering why he's so mean to her and why he's so weird and why he's not being mean to her anymore and what his deal is and if he likes her and if he actually loves her and how much he loves her and how he could possibly love as someone as Mary Sue- errr I mean plain and boring and clumsy as she is and if his vampire family will like her, a plot finally shows up, but it doesn't last very long. And then they go to prom. In the second book, Edward the sparkling vampire leaves Bella for her own good, and she spends most of the book trying to kill herself with motorcycles and cliff-diving. Sort of. And then her best friend falls in love with her and turns out to be a werewolf, but Bella runs away to save Edward from committing suicide by public sparkling in Italy.

In the third book, Jacob the best friend/boyfriend wannabe/werewolf turns into a total asshole trying to force himself on Bella, and a vampire with a grudge from the first book is trying to kill her, but more importantly, Bella and Edward argue about whether they should have sex, get married, and/or vampirize Bella, and in what order.

Number of Pages in the Book: 498
The First Hint of a Plot that Is Not Bella and Edward's Romance: page 328
When the Plot Actually Arrives: page 372

Boys that Totally Love Bella (Including Edward Cullen): 5

Approximate Amount of Time Bella and Edward are Romantically Involved Before Bella Is Begging Edward to Turn Her into a Vampire so They Can Be Together Forever: Like, two weeks. Maybe three. The timeline's a bit fuzzy.

References to Edward's Beauty: 165


Hand to God, I did not make one word of that up. Though I wish I had...Part of me died reading it...a big part....*goes to slit wrists*

I never thought I'd say this but... I'm actually getting sick of bitching about Twilight. Seriously. It takes a lot out of a person to sustain this amount of bile for this length of time. Good thing there's so many people around to share the load with

Personally, most of my scorn is directed at the fact that this badly-researched, badly-written pile of fanfic has not only made it to print, but has somehow sucked in (no pun intended) so many people - not only the tweenie goths, but the 30ish housewives who, to be honest, should really have better taste in books.
