Posers

I love vampires but Blade or Buffy need to take Edward out in the woods and show him how a proper vampire acts. Ahem. I'm done.
(Eta: I like Dracula and the Anne Rice series as well, even if I've only read maybe one of Anne Rice's books. No make that 2 I believe.)

[EvilEmpryss]

Don't forget the Anita Blake series.

I'd like to see Edward's reaction if Bella whipped out a little BDSM on him. Or vice versa. :evil:

"Oh you're a writer! So you want to write something like Twilight right?"
Me: .... *starts foaming at the mouth and having violent seizures.*

[Jay 2K Winger]

If someone had honestly said something like "Dracula is a ripoff of Twilight" to me, I don't think a jury in the world would convict me.

I'd probably have gone off on them similar to Tycho going off on Gabe for claiming that Games Workshop was ripping off Blizzard.

"Don't say another goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children scream - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth."

Oh yeah.....me too!!

"Oh you're a writer! So you want to write something like Twilight right?"

To a point, yes, actually.

Something formulaic, so I can easily hack out a basic trilogy that will be published in hardcover and sell so many copies it creates a fan base big enough to spawn a multipart movie deal that sets me up for the rest of my life.

From that point on I will have all the money I need to focus on writing the stories that I really want to write without having to answer to any editor or worry about paying the electric bill. Stories that I won't have to duck my head in shame over and whisper apologetically like some reformed streetwalker "Well, they paid really well...."

PS: Sapphire, if you want to catch the ones reading naughty stories, Name the patient Anita Blake, and list as pregnant with a potential case of Mowgli or Vlad Syndrome. If you see eyebrows go up, you have a winner.

I'd sign up just so I could run the paternity test on that one.

Found one!

[telecom_goddess]

Found one!

LOL!!! Awesome!

[Argus]

And no one, NO ONE has ever gotten the joke.

Is there any possibility that some of them got the joke but considered it too obvious for comment?

"Yes, only better written, with fleshed out characters and an actual plot. Oh and attention to actual history and mythos."

I love it! I'll have to write a new simulation to cover it

Possible. But they got the one with Tony Stark.

Kids today. Don't know anything about literature

Pacemaker or shrapnel?
