Jesus Christ, some of the stories on that forum are just...unbelieveable. It's the Intarwebz, so I'm taking it all with more or less a grain of salt, but the very idea that even one account might be true is enough to kill what little faith I had in humanity's ability to reason.

Especially the last two, I can't even fathom some one being that insane. Not even hate crimes are that silly.

Having formerly worked at a book store, I had to cover the releases of the last two books crying Both of them were midnight releases where we had to kick everyone out of the store and wheel the books out front then let everyone back in in as civil a way as possible.

If there was ever a surreal moment its standing all alone in front of a huge glass door as the slavering hordes of teenage girls and creepy old men press against the glass waiting for the clock to strike midnight. Its dark. You're alone. You're standing between a throng of mindless zombies and their sustenance. And the midnight alarm rings out, unlocking the doors...


THEN there's what people said they'd do to get a copy early, when they knew the books were in the receiving room, but before we could legally put them on the floor... gonk






Being 6'7" and sore displeased with having to lug around a BAJILLION books from shipping trucks to the store, I taped a copy of the final book to the blades of one of our fans above our main register two days before the release date of the final book. You would've thought I taped the secret to immortality up there... My boss gots mad becuase the mass of people struggling to jump up to grab it (some even in their werewolf/vampire cosplay suits) kept interfereing with sales. stare

I have to admire that one, if I worked at a bookstore I'd have gotten a ladder (I'm 5'2" I'd need one) and done something similar.

I went to Barnes and Noble the day before the release of one of them and I was discussing the event with the cashier as I was checking out. When I had gotten to why exactly I couldn't stand the first book alone (I read it, mainly because it was a gift and I always read books that are given as gifts) I nearly get mauled by fangirls.

I'm a student teacher, meaning i'm teaching, but I'm still a college student. Now, most of the female students I have, tend to zone out in class because they're busy reading Twilight. When I take up their books, you'd swear I had just stolen their purses and everything in them. They're all about 14 years old, and the owners are usually girls, so when that book is taken up, with a "come back at the end of the day to get it", they go NUTS. How DARE I make them wait a whole _ hours to come and get their beloved book about the obsessed girl and the sparkly boy?!
"NOO!! I paid for that with MY money!!!" "That's stealing!!" "It's not distracting me!!" (This last one said while the girl was supposed to be taking a make-up quiz, and is currently failing the class. Possibly because she's reading utter crap rather than doing any homework or studying)

My friend, she makes her boyfriend wear sparkles. And then, I told her Edward looked gay, and she tipped my chair over, stole my cell phone and messed with it. Every girl in my home room walks around with Twilight or one of the rest of the series. When I told them I didn't like it, every single one of them hit me on the head with it. Ow.

Back in PR, my gay brother and my mother (huge "Twilight" fans) said that I was an uncivilized otaku because I rather read some racy manga about drugs, sex and rock and roll (NANA) than a new literary masterpiece.

No attack stories, but my poor sister has been... taken. She couldn't stop going on about how the series was the greatest thing ever recently, and how she would just die if she didn't get to see the movie. She's mellowed out about it, but still...

By the way, she's never read any of the books, and she probably doesn't know anything about it other than that Edward Cullen is the hottest slice of manbeef ever. She might know who Bella Swan is.

I suffered through the week before the movie came out. I almost died of holding in hysterical laughter as eighty percent of the female population walked around in Twilight shirts. (complete with cheesy quotes)

But the real victims are the twitards themselves.

I was in the vampire's home base for the halloween havoc event, and I had entered a thread where we were discussing who was better, Lestat from the Ann Rice Novels, or Edward Cullen. (Consensus was for Lestat.) When all of a sudden, some guy comes in and says something along the lines of this:

"I f*ucking love 'Twilight and if you don't like it you can suck my vampiric d*ck!!"

Well, needless to say, we got a bit upset. Now, I have nothing against 'Twlight', as a matter of fact, I read the first book, and it was okay. (Except for the sparkling. That sucked. =p) But, the fans are getting out of control. Even Harry Potter fans aren't THIS bad...at least I hope not.... >_> But, anyways, someone on the thread told him that it was really immature, and asked him something along the lines of weather or not it was past his bedtime. The offending fan left the thread.

He wasn't attacking me personally, but everyone in the thread.

Another time, my boyfriend and I went to go and see 'Twilight' in our local theatre just for the hell of it. He had asked me if I wanted popcorn, and I told him no.

Well, on comes Edward Cullen himself, in all his glory, and immediately, the fangirls start their squealing. At that moment, I wished I had gotten popcorn so I could throw it at them...but that would have been wrong, and I'm glad I didn't now. Even if they kept it up every FRICKIN' time Edward came on the screen....

I have a couple friends who are obsessed with 'Twilight' and they happen to be passive fangirls. Just squealy. Luckily for me, because I don't really want to get hit, or some of the other stuff that I read on here....scary...... >_>

Make 'em read 'HellSing' or 'Vampire Hunter D'. twisted I would take that manga anyday over reading 'Twilight' again. I don't hate it, but I don't want to read it again.
