I think Jennie doesn't appreciate Twilight much either: http://www.thedevilspanties.com/d/20081103.html

I saw that today as well. I must admit, I laughed. Hardcore, I laughed.

I wonder if Jennie reads this forum very much?

[Rapscallion]

Rarely. I run her other forum as well on the same server. When I send her scripts for the cartoons for here, I give her the URLs, so I guess she occasionally will visit.

I wonder what sort of sucky customer stories she has?

*ponders*

[Hon'ya-chan]

Never got into it. Never.

the only thing i dislike is that.... so many other authors are trying to copy the theme and do vampire romance series...

Half of the current bloody romance selection is about Vampire/Human or Werewolf/Human pairings!! (Paranormal Romance.....geh.) And that was even before Twilight got batshit insane popular.

When does the Spaghetti Monster get his 15 minutes of Glory??

[CaroPhoenix]

Oh, alright EQ, I'll get right on the Spaghetti Monster story I have cooking on the back burner! Don't get your knickers in a twist!

[Evil Queen]

yay! I have knickers!

YAY! IDaR is writing a story I demanded!

[Severen13]

Anyone else sick to death of hearing about....

Twilight and/or Stephenie Meyer? (Wangsty emo teen vampires. Oooooo...so original.)

Jennifer Aniston whining about Angelina and Brad? (You've been divorced from him for years, Jenny. Get over it and move on, already!)

Britney? (Good grief, if I hear her name one more time.....)

Gossip Girl? (Rich pretty girls banging rich pretty boys. How deep.)

Lindsay? (She's bi. Big deal. Isn't there any real news happening somewhere?)





Any others I've left out?

Naruto- Decent enough series in general, but any anime where the main character wears fluorescent orange, has blond spiky hair and screams at the top of his lungs at every opportunity is not allowed to use the term ninja.

And even if it was an excellent anime (Which it isn't), it still doesn't deserve to be the one thing every random fangirl who has ever seen an anime is capable of talking about.


For god's sake, I'm 18 years old and I'm already giving rants about appreciating the classics!

[Akasa]

OMG Shards yes! Narutards drive me batty!

[Greenday]

I am sick to death of that dumbass vampire Edward Cullen. It's ruining the facebook bumper stickers seeing half of them about him. He's a vampire. Wtf?

Jonas Brothers - Just like Edward Cullen, they can suck it too. They are also ruining the bumper sticker application.

[Gravekeeper]

Never heard of it and it sounds like it was stitched together from the corpses of everything I hate into a single literary abomination.

[CaroPhoenix]

I think it would have been better if it had been a parody of vampire books. (kinda like, "Bored of the Rings" was a parody of "Lord of the Rings" and the "Star Wreck" books are of course a parody of Star Trek). Maybe that's what needs to be done: A Parody.

First wait, Bella gets knocked up? does she die?

My two cents on literature and vampires.

Read great literature? Like War and Peace? I read it and had problems with some parts, like, wtf with the opera? And what happened to Boris? Though I have to laugh at Pierre's naiveity, like when one char. is trying to hint he should be greatful for a favor she did him (has to do with a will people are trying to hide) and Pierre is clueless. War and Peace isn't all cracked up to what people say. I read teen books. I like Scott Westerfeld's series, with Uglies, Pretties, etc. I read Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicolson series Just go with Dave the laugh, moron! But I enjoy it. Though the Princess Diaries series hit a nadar when Mia's 18 or 19 year old bf wanted sex with her, who is 16

Anyway, I don't remember if the YA librarians are gaga over Twilight. I don't know if I'll read it, I tend to read everything. Though I think Anne Rice's vampires have something attractive. Not glitter, but really white and shiny?

But if we are going to talk about vampire series that is crap, I would go with Anita Blake books. And yes, I know there will be many opinions that it's a great series, best paranormal series written. The first book Guilty Pleasures was interresting and I was getting into it. Until the attempted rape by a were rat (I think it was a wererat). And I realized the writer is going to introduce the audiance to a lot of fetish sex, or at least sex that will be borderline bestiality.

Then there are the romance/paranormal books. I read, by Harper Allen, Dressed to slay. Story begins with 3 triplet baby girls of a vampire slayer. One gets bit by a queen vampire and will become a vampire when she is older. No one keeps track of which baby was bitten so the first book involves one sister freaking out that she will become a vampire. Oh, and she has a hunky werewolf who is watching her back incase she becomes a vampire. How much you want to bet they will be hitting the sheets, esp. since they hate each other?

Wow, who wants to bet all vampire romance stories start that way? With the intense hate? Then end with the earth shattering sex which is pretty mundane and in no way does anyone say "dick" but will say "manhood".

But then there is How to Marry a Millionaire Vampire. Funny start, about a millionaire vmapire who doesn't want to kill peoople. Another vampire invents a life like human size blow up doll that is biteable. Millionaire vampire loses tooth in doll's neck and goes to a 24 hour dentist. Woman dentist is hiding from the mob....stuff happens and even though the vampire has a harem of vamp women, he is a *gasp!* virgin, who wants to lose his virginity to his soul mate, the dentist.

I'm going to stick to Spuffy fanfic. And I learn more about sex from fanfic thne a Harliquin romance novel (at least fanfic doesn't use euphorisms for genitelia) Though I hate the char. bashing fanfics
