Ugh, I got lost in the world that is Twilight. Three days spent drowning in 2,560 pages of total nonsense. My own fault I realize, but as much as I like good food, sometimes I can’t stop eating junk food. I find it excusable when I tell myself she didn’t maliciously set out to destroy the very essence that is vampire lore, she really wrote a poorly written but entertaining series about x-men, but got her terms mixed up.

lol… and after all the thousands of pages with subliminal propaganda are you converting to Mormonism too??!
LOL. Yes, poor writing and terribly entertaining reading. Ah well. Although I must admit I didn’t get any of that subliminal Mormon propaganda referred to above ^. Except there’s the whole… anti-pre-marital-sex business. Which I just had to laugh at, because, well, REALLY?
Hahahahaha, right??
ah. I’m so glad I’m not alone. It sucked me in completely. I loved it. LOL.
if it was so poorly written then how did the series sell 40+million copies? i have this same argument about JKRowling. i say they’re fantastic storytellers. ok so maybe their technical writing skills aren’t stellar, but who are you comparing them to? Shakespeare, Jane Austen, JR Tolkien? LOL! i found the departure from traditional vampire cannon (which i’m pretty familiar with) refreshing & unique. and yes i thought it was a little “x-meny” too!
and i, like Lauryl, did not pick up on any mormon subtext, was it hiding in there somewhere?
haha, well as a general rule the masses have never had very good tastes about anything.
I am not picky about writing as long as it doesn’t interfere with my ability to enjoy the story. JK Rowling fits into that category. I could care less about her technical writing skills since her character development skills are stellar. But stephanie meyers? Not so much. I don’t need Homer, but twilight was so bad it was downright distracting to the story.
Gosh. That’s alot of pages. How do you do that with two kids?! I can’t figure it out with just one kid
LOL
Hey, why does everyone else’s smilies work and mine just show up as text?
boohoo wahhh
