I'm not getting why she's a bad writer. I've heard a lot of people say that and I think they're confusing the topic and her target audience FOR said topic with her writing. I mean, her character development is decent, her plot is neat and logical, her imagery is easy to follow and picture, there's plenty of drama and emotion to her stories, even the occassional action sequence, and she makes few mistakes in the four books. Obviously originality has taken a hit, I'll give you that, but the rest are all markers of a good writer. The Host, written for an older audience was written quite well and was even mildly original. Twilight was just written for a younger audience and hats off to Meyer's for doing it sans smut. Pick up a Gossip Girl novel lately? They're disgusting and entirely inappropriate for the age group. Maybe it's a matter of opinion, I don't know, but I think it's unfair to slam her writing because you don't like what she's writing about. I will, however, acknowledge that, yes, the sparkling was stupid and a bit silly.

Basically, I can sum up the entire 4 books in just a few words. Edward bites Bella, she has their baby. That is 4 books condensed into 7 words. And the vampires effing sparkle. I don't read the books, and I never will. I started reading the first one before realizing that it was an okay idea that was horribly executed and included sparkling vampires. 'Nuff said.

Generally, seriously, her writing sucks. The plot is not logical, especially the enviornment's focus on Bella. The character development is stunted at best, and the imagery/drama/emotion is so flowery and overdone that it's just ridiculous. And the dialogue is just crap. I mean, if anyone said I was their personal brand of heroin, or that the lion fell in love with the lamb, I'd punch him in the 'nads and run. She writes like an enamored fanbrat. And all this stuff about being different and unique? (not necessarily you) That's bullshit. She is raping vampires up the ASS, man. Just like a fanbrat, she has taken the creature category's main weakness and negated it, filled her characters full of unnecessary and unsubstantiated angst, and added new abilities/attributes that serve her purpose. I mean, color changing eyes? Really? And SPARKLING? Gimme a break. Every vampire in the world wanting one girl? Stupid, yet likely done before. Every boy in the series wanting her body even though she's plain but oh-so-klutzy? Again, redonkulously stupid, but done before. In short? Twilight is a badfic without there being something previous to write a fic about. There is just no reason for 5753213568632145790 people (yes, people, I know for a fact the fanbase is not just pudgester tweens) to be so in wub with this thing. Just... no.

#309 all you did was 'sum up' the last book. Why don't you read them before trying to talk like you know all about them. Hell, read them so you can make fun of them better. I got my friend who hates the books to read them, and now he can make educated arguments on why they're terrible, and it's all true and people who love it can't deny it. It's better to have done your homework then to just rant on and have the fanpeople (like myself) out-smart you :)

I think it's a Hufflepuff. Not a Hufflepuffian. Just saying.

*high fives*

vampires don't sparkle in the sun

Shutup dumbass.

Wow. She didn't call you anything, just said she liked Twilight and you called her a dumbass. Have you considered the debate team?
