Subject: Fwd: Twilight
Twilight becomes Daylight
Do you like Twilight?
Of course you do. It's the best thing since sliced bread.
Do you believe vampires are supposed to sparkle?
If you like Twilight, you do. They're supposed to burn in the sun, though.
Does Edward Cullen have any flaws?
Physically, he's flawless. But he's manipulative towards Bella and a textbook abuser.
Does Bella Swan have any flaws?
Ha! You call falling over a flaw? Well, she is absolutely gorgrous (even though she says she's modest), she gets all the guys (even though she only likes the hot ones) and she gets all of her work done in all her classes, (but somehow she's a moron). She demonstrates no understanding of precaution, fear, or even common sense. In her own words, "What a stupid lamb."
Does the series saga have any flaws?
Of course it does. Meyer even breaks the rules she puts down for her universe. Renesmee shouldn’t be able to exist. The vampires’ diamond-like skin shouldn’t be able to move. The vampires’ bodies do not absorb heat, conflicting with basic physics.
Do you believe that fantasy should be realistic?
Fantasy doesn’t have to be completely true to life, but it should at least be internally consistent and follow in a logical manner. Some flaws are simply inexcusable for fantasy, such as the fact that Edward has been watching Bella sleep for two months when she only came to Forks a month ago.
Do you know what the name "Edward Cullen" literally means?
"Rich-Protector Rich." Yeah, that’s normal.
Do you know what the name "Bella Swan" literally means?
"Beautiful Swan"… and for a modest, average girl! (Or a Mary Sue)
Does Edward have an attractive personality, or is he only attractive for physical traits?
He is devoid of personality or character. You like him because he’s sexy, strong and sparkly. And he allegedly smells very, very good.
Do you want your relationship to be like that in the book?
In reality, no. You don’t want an abusive, dangerous boyfriend. Bella's life is put in danger around him, usually when he drives over 100 mph.
Do you know what an abusive relationship is like?
You should. Twilight demonstrates a perfect example of an abusive relationship.
Is Edward seriously an abuser?
Yes.
Do the messages in the books affect the fans?
You might think not, but they do. Twilight glorifies suicide, sexism, and abusive relationships. But try saying that to the fan who jumped off a cliff at La Push.
Are there enough reasons to hate it?
Yes. Yes there are.
Are you ready to give up Twilight?

Yeah, and I talked to KingJack about it before... I have to give him credit for the references and some of the material in there.
So a few months ago when I started this project, I got tons of Twitard friends on my mule. I just came back to it today and sent the first load. It's about 15 down, 124 to go. So we'll see how it goes!
What a happy New Year's surprise... mrgreen
