...The only time a vampire should sparkle is when the sun first hits it.... right before it bursts into flames.....
*sigh* What happened to the good old fashioned evil vampires? ...I miss em."I'm not smiling because I'm happy. I'm smiling because every time I blink your head explodes!"

well......ASSUMING the facts went with a specific author's base of them, very powerful vampires could be out in the sun for short whiles but burn like major major sunburn....but again thats going on a specific authors way of how vampires should be....
but then, i've yet to encounter "flaming" vampire that doesn't sparkle at night.
*runs and hides*

Honestly, the "Vampires don't Sparkle" argument has gotten REAAAALLY old. I'm not a huge fan of Twilight, but for crying out loud, it was for less than a paragraph. Just skip over the chapter if you really have to. Honestly I've heard more whining about Twilight than I've heard the fangirls, because the fangirls don't really want to embarrass themselves by saying they like it.
Also, apparently there's no actual myth that says Vampires burst into flames in sunlight. They just don't like it.

Read it and weep, Twilight fans. XD Hell, even the vampire fruit are a more scary prospect than the Meyerpires.
OK Chezzie, here's a list:
Reams and reams of pointless description like the author swallowed a thesaurus.
Edward is an abusive boyf.
Edward is a stalker.
Edward is a cradle snatcher.
Bella is a Mary Sue.
Bella makes feminists weep.
Bella is stupid.
Jacob is Pedobear.
Why isn't Jacob with Leah?
Why is Leah infertile and a weepy bitch?
Why do the female vampires have flawed and weaker powers in comparison to the male characters?
Bella = Meyer self insert.
Horrible role models for teenage girls.
Zero character development.
Everyone loves Bella.
Little or no research done on certain aspects, ie vampire myth, werewolf myth, the sewers etc.
Vampires don't have babies.
Vampires can not be vegetarian. Blood = meat product.
Why would a 100+ year old vampire go to high school?
Why are all vampires beautiful?
I'll stop there before I go too far, but point made, I think. XDD

Before I post this, I'll state that I like Stephen King's novels. He's usually a fun read, and the whole Dark Tower series is just amazing. I also know that many people consider him to be, at best, a hack of a writer. I will freely admit that much of his writing, in terms of writing quality, is only so-so. His stories are enjoyable to me, though, so I keep reading.
Stephen King on Stephanie Meyer:
Quoth Stephen KingAccording to Stephen, "Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."

I once read a quote somewhere, a writer said something along the lines of "Stephen King could publish his laundry list and it would be a bestseller". As someone who would probably buy said laundry list, I have to say - if Mr. King calls you a hack, well ... they do say it takes one to know one!"You mean you don’t have the one piece of information you actually need? Well, stick your grubby paws in the crayon box, yank one out and colour me Fucking Shocked Fuchsia." - Gravekeeper

Okay... I read the entire Twilight series. It's silly tripe but I suppose I was hoping that it would straighten out, get better... or perhaps I was just bored enough? I can say many, many negative things about Twilight but this is my biggest peeve with it:
Worst. Ending. Ever.
I was so mad I got rid of the whole set that day. I have zero respect for an author that is too big of a wimp to kill off any of their best characters. Period.
When Rowling's characters went to war a lot of them died. Some of my favorite ones, tore me up, made me sad and angry. That's good writing.
Needless to say- I love the shirt."I don't want any part of your crazy cult! I'm already a member of the public library and that's good enough for me, thanks!"
