To think Twilight is the most boring pile of old drivel...

[Spookyoldclothcatpuss]

I've ever had the misfortune to read!
I've stuck with it, because everyone loves them, but crikey. I've eaten jam sandwiches with more plot!
Don't get me wrong, I know it's more for teenagers, but dear God, I'm halfway through the third book, and bugger all has happened!

What is fan fic?

Fan fiction GetOrf - stories written by fans using the characters or settings from books/tv/films etc.

Obviously most of it is shit, because there is a reason most people aren't writers. Some of it is (allegedly) very good.

I've read some very good fanfic. In fact, there is one that I know of that sadly has been pulled off the net because the author has had a book published.
It doesn't create a good impression for a author to have fanfic floating about the internet, I suppose.

But, yes, the majority of it is absolute shite.

Eldritch,
"I love Twilight I agree it is really badly written in places"....
...only in places???

Lemons?

I think we need a fanfic glossary :)

I like it but I also agree with a lot of the opinions here

I like books and consider myself to have quite high standards. This series is badly written in places and just sheer indulgence in fantasy. Yes the central relationship is a bit weird in places. It is not the kind of stuff I would normally like at all

But there is something about it that took me back to my teenage self. Not the love for a pretty boy obsessed with me. Just the atmosphere and the angst I suppose. Yes I am too old for all that now but I had a rubbish home life as a teenager and had all but written those years off. These books seemed to remind me of the good bits about my teenage self

Okay spooky badly written generally. However as someone who has read War & Peace, even twilight has moments of nice literature

"Does Bella die in the end"

Sadly not. Worse than that, she's fecking immortal. more or less.

I have to admit this thread has got me laughing

I read Anne Rice afterwards as it sparked an interest in vampire literature. I thought that was beautifully written

I don't think stakes work on these vampires...

Keep reading the Anne Rice. She is amazing! Occasionally you get a lemon, but most are cracking. You could also try the witchy ones as well. Vv good.

Team I admire your commitment to sparkle motion. You are the Queen of Slutbunters.

well this will please you no end.................................................there is talk of adding to the Twilight saga

Oh god. It's going to be like Rocky.

Yer man is going to be there, in 30 yrs time, all facelifted, still doing that bluelippy thing.

Baby bound to be a plug in the fillums because they usually use director's nieces and stuff don't they? (Jon-Ross Ewing anyone He'd have killed a vampire at 30 paces just by showing it his face)

Guys I am sorry - I just tried to read that "twinned" thing. REALLY? That is total wxxk. Sorry but it is - pretentious, wordy, shallow and blah. Fan fic . Humbug.

Unless "adding to the Twilight saga" involves a nasty bloodless bloodbath where all key characters are decapitated, I'm not interested.

It's just diabolical. Utter, terrible, poorly written bollocks about a simpering idiot who falls down a long and a sparkly, cold, boring vampire.

And I like fanfic. Truly, I write the damn stuff. But I only write about believable, enjoyable, interesting characters. I just can't enjoy twi-fic because the dross that spawned it is rubbish.

Did I mention Bella falls over?

And Edward is cold?

Oh and I think it rains sometimes.

And people chuckle a lot.

Who the fuck chuckles in real life (other than the chuckle brothers, RIP)

I don't care, i would love to find Edward in my bedroom.

YANBU.

Teenage angst drivel extrordinaire.
