I was talking to Kate and she found a site called Twilightsucks.com. Oh my gosh it's hilarious! But the person who writes the blog is so ignorant and hypocritical that it just astounded me.
I don't want to hear anyone blindly defending the person. If you have anything to add on either side that is intelligent, informed, and constructive to say, please don't hesitate. And please have at least read the first book. I stand by my idea and I don't plan to change it. I'll just hide any complaints to this post as well. Any other posts are perfectly welcome.
I had a langhty descussion about this site with Kate and I decided to post it here because this is the only website I bother to go on regularly other than youtube, FF.net, and my manga sites. Not that I've posted here within the last year. Meh.
I warn you! When I say lengthy, I mean it. If you have a short attention span or a distaste for the intelligent or sarcastic, this probably isn't the convorsation for you. Or this profile really...
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Why would someone hate a book enough to do this crap. That's a little sketchy.
Kate says:
I was okay with them criticising the book, but a few posts down they start criticising SMeyer's appearance. Bleh. Like that has anything to do with her writing skills.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Bible thumpers and people who don't like to read.
Kate says:
"For those who don't know already, TwilightSucks.com is holding a contest in which you are challenged to re-write Twilight whether in pure spoof or in an attempt to actually do it justice."
That'd be interesting to try. Except I'd feel like I was wasting months of my life that I'd never get back.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"Unfortunately all our efforts into getting the Ellen Show to cover some of the more pressing issues within the series didn't affect the interview at all but given into the fact that Ellen's show only gave SMeyer four minutes to brag about her success there really wasn't any room what-so-ever to discuss anything of importance."
Really. You wanted to get on to the Ellen Show to start a convorsation that would only make people want to read more about it? That sounds like a splended idea to destory her sucess.
Kate says:
Lol.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"personally am concerned. At first when she was just becoming a bit husky I thought it was fine, despite her idolizing toothpick models as being the perfect bods she was setting an example that even husky girls can be attractive however now she is borderline unhealthy and her flabby arms are eating away at her defining physical features turning her figure into a blob of fleshy pudding."
Roxas Rox Ass says:
It's called ageing.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"You'd think that for an author who fully takes advantage of throwing herself out there on talk shows and treats her book signings like rock concerts she'd be more concerned and vain about her appearance."
Oh no! A person who doesn't care about how she looks! Gather the torches and pitchforks!
Kate says:
It's ridiculous. Criticise the book all you want but picking over her looks is just another example of patriarchy and its obsession with female appearance.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Did I ever mention how amazing it is that you're able to turn anything into a feminist issue. I love using your arguments with people I know.
Kate says:
Lol. Yes! Use them with people you don't know, too. Spread the word!
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Lmao! Amazing new avater. I watched it change.
Kate says:
Lol. Thanks.
Kate says:
It's great. Now whenever people ask me to come out of my room I can be like, "Can't. Writing."
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"You laughed when Britney Spears shaved her head, you gasped when Lindsey Lohan tripped over herself in a drunken stooper, and you were shocked when young Disney starlets like Ashley Tisdale got plastic surgery at such a young age. So why must the majority of you become so defensive over Stephenie Meyer?"
Because she's intelligent and selling her books, not her looks.
Kate says:
"You blinked when Britney shaved her head, you didn't hear about Lindsey Lohan tripping, and you don't even know who Ashley Tisdale is, so ..."
Fixed to apply to me.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
I just sent that...
Kate says:
Fingers are rebelling from constant typing.
Kate says:
Sent what?
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Oops. Never mind.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Dude. This person is complaining about her throwing a tantrum and not writing her new book. It's because someone posted the entirety of what she's written on the internet. Any writing would be pissed.
Kate says:
I know I'd be.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"A storyteller enjoys the act of sharing a story with others, not solely entertaining oneself. I am a storyteller AND a writer and I would never have reacted this way."
Well, you obviously have no pride as a writer.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"Hell I wouldn't mind if people pirated my books in the first place, knowing that people are reading my stories is enough satisfaction. If I make money that's great but my main goal is to allow as many people as possible to experience the same stories I tell myself."
You don't have to support yourself, do you?
Kate says:
Lol.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
This person doesn't seem to realise that Stephany Meyer could genualy be upset about the work she spent so much time and effort on. Damn ignorant people fill me with such blind rage. If I ever met a person like this, I honestly think I would bash their heads against a brick wall repeatedly.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
And this person says that she/he's a writer. If you can only see one narrow path, you'll never be able to write anything worth reading.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"Sure it's only the personal opinions of a small few that she has been quickly degrading the quality and standards of modern fiction, but it is fact that she IS degrading the quality and standards of her profession. There's no denying that, and I fear for aspiring authors who still hold onto the traditional principles of the industry."
She doesn't even realize that she just contradicted herself!
Kate says:
Don't you know? Personal opinions = fact now.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
I think my mind is about to explode...
Kate says:
Lol.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"Because I'm not a delusional fan I obviously don't understand the fascination of a retelling of the first book in the series. It's basically going to be exactly the same, face it."
Because everyone has the same opinions and thoughts. One person can't possible think another thing about the other person that the other person thought about them! What is our world coming to! Burn the witch!
Kate says:
"One person can't possible think another thing about the other person that the other person thought about them!"
That sentence is fantastic.
Kate says:
And I agree. A book could be completely different from the viewpoint of another character.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
"Nothing unexpected is going to happen, it's going to be exactly like Twilight, none of the events will change, at all."
Because my(nonexistant) boyfriend doesn't have a life of his own. That's positivley obsurd.
Kate says:
Lol.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Next sentance: "Unless of course SMeyer decides to throw in some aliens who cause the Twilight universe to be thrown into a parallel dimension where Bella and Edward get sex changes."
It doesn't even make sense!
Kate says:
Nope.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
You know what I find most hilarious about this site?
Kate says:
What?
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Instead of just forgetting about the book and moving on, they read the other three and continued to persue the stories. That's rebelion right there.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
I know I always obsess about things I hate. Nothings better in the morning than a good ol bowl of spite!
Kate says:
Lol.
Kate says:
I understand why they're doing it, though. It makes them feel superior.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Kings of the internetz. They must be so proud.
Kate says:
Indeed.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
You know what's even better?
Roxas Rox Ass says:
I'll tell you anyway.
Roxas Rox Ass says:
There are Twilight quiz adds on that page twice.
Kate says:
Lol. Google ads?
Roxas Rox Ass says:
Yeah.
Kate says:
Ironic.
I warned you.
I really want to hear what you intelligent people have to say. And I mean intelligent.
And I won't be reading the messages until I've read the last book to avoid spoilers.
And if I mispelled something, please bring it to my attention. I admit that I have my spacey moments, having ADHD and all.
In my editing, I noticed that several parts where a comma or an apostrophe were replaced with a few numbers and symbols. I removed them and fixed them. But in my edits I may have removed a few. But other than that, everything above in quotation marks is a quote directly from the site copied and pasted and you may check the site to test me.
