Music I Love

Read.

Oh cool, a chance to speak.

Hi, I'm D, and I'm one of those rabid antis people are worried about. Don't worry, I haven't flamed anyone in a while, which is great for me. It's starting to seep into my friendships and though they like Twilight and such, they don't obsess. They help me to not obsess as well. I'm cool with that.

There is a HUGE split between the lovers and haters. From my perspective, I can see only a few things that might be right with the series, but most of my hate started from the Grammar of the books. I've read them all and can't understand the hype either. Stephanie Meyer is determined to use every single adjective in the Thesaurus to describe two things: (1) Edward and (2) the love he shares with Bella.

What I think set off a lot of people here is the massive amount of fangirls who would gladly leave their current boyfriends--possibly kind and caring beings--if a weird, emo, anti-social, possessive guy with apparently flippy hair started stalking her. Meyer has sparked a twitch in the lives of many women with a statement that it's okay to just put everything down, leave everyone you love, just for a guy who will kill you in a very bad way.

I can see how the book sparks some serious feminist issues.

As for the vampires, I think they're cute at best in modern fiction. They have a perspective on many issues I have concerning life that make me understand what we're supposed to see in life. I may think they're romantic, but I find their knowledge more sustaining than eternal life/love.

~~~~

Another note, if you will. . . ^_^. As an anti, I've always flocked to the idea of an historically accurate character. The writer had an idea, he read the books, he did his homework, and then he interpreted the story in his language. What Stephanie Meyer did was have a dream, did no research, read no books, and wrote a story without historical vampires.

All the while, people who haven't picked up a decent book since they were forced to read in school, or haven't set foot in a library since their youth, are suddenly seeing the movie because of the actors, and then get pulled into the hype by picking this one book as their first honest read in ages. Not having read anything decent lately, they cling to this knowledge and claim it superior because it made them open their eyes to literature.

It's my problem when it's the only thing they want to read afterwards. I know I've reached my limit in writing when all I can come up with is dialogue. I know this because I've done it enough times and said, "Okay, that's enough for today, lets wait until tomorrow to continue and re-read what we've come up with in case something dumb seeped into the text." I don't use adverbs or descriptive words in a profuse manner, and if I can show the reader what I'm saying instead of just saying it, I feel I've accomplished something.

I'm really hoping you're not implying I dislike vampires at all. I love vampires. Twilight merely has no vampires.
