twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.

[angela]

The book starts on an ordinary girl, named Isabella Swan. She moves to Forks with her dad; her mum lives in Pheonix.
When Bella goes to school, she sees the most beautiful people - which are vampires in disguise. these people are all brothers and sisters. One of them, Edward Cullen, is so drawn to the scent of Bella's blood. His brother - the newest member of the Cullen family - is also drawn to Bella, but only in the thirst way.
Edward is from then on, feels determined to protect the precious scent of Isabella Swan's blood scent; they soon fall in love, but danger surrounds every turn and step their relationship dares.

The twilight series is based on vampire struggles and the spark that ignites old legends, between werewolfs.
Bella - in Eclipse, has to choose between her "irrevocible" love for Edward, and her close, bonding, friendship with Jacob; in the end, she is pained with the loss of a good friend - which is a werewolf - but is comforted by Edward's assurances and guidance.

The critics say its a compelling, hynotic prose of the usual teenage, sexual tension.

I think its a really good read!

[fantasy-freak]

sounds good

[Nyx]

Woo! I love the Twilight Series...it's so damn good.;)

[Steak-Ums]

Those books are horrible. No me gustan :(.

The character Bella has absolutely no goals, ambitions, hopes, dreams, or interests in anything. She's colorless, the only thing that propels the story/franchise is adolecent teenage girls raking out cash because they think it's something new and fresh when it's not. The plot is mwah, so so...

[Nyx]

Bella isn't flat, she's so in love that she's lost sight of her other ambitions, yes the book's aimed at teenage girls but no one claimed it was something new, the style of Meyer's writing is great, she is anything but a bad writer. :glare:

[Dr_House_4ever]

I only made it through the first book; they're not bad, they're just not for me.

[Steak-Ums]

Bella isn't flat, she's so in love that she's lost sight of her other ambitions, yes the book's aimed at teenage girls but no one claimed it was something new, the style of Meyer's writing is great, she is anything but a bad writer. :glare:

Huh? When I did I say someone was a bad writer? I just said I didn't care for it and stated the reasons why...no me gustan.

Most girls do think that it's new though, the ones that I see at work at least... and when did Ms. Meyers ever state this dreams that she lost sight of...?

[Dr_House_4ever]

I can't remember much in the way of ambitions either, but I only read the one book about a year ago, so you can't really go by me. I did find Bella pretty bland and I think that was what lost me (I can put up with most anything from characters except blandness!)

[Nyx]

I never said you said she was a bad writer, I'm just stating that she's not.
There's no specific dream stated, but it mentioned a lot how she loses sight of dreams and such because all she can focus on is Edward. And she does spend all her college fund (which means she was planning on college), on a plan to bring excitement back to her life when Edward's gone.


I agree the book isn't interesting to most boys.

[Dr_House_4ever]

True, I've yet to meet a guy who liked the books (or at least, was willing to admit it:))

[Tegzz]

I have met guys who admitted to liking it, which makes it all the worse...

It wasn't really well written, but the first one was at least entertaining. The second one was still... alright. Unfortunately, the third one was absolute shit. Meyer's characters had never been extremely well-defined, but they all started acting unlike themselves. It was painful to read. I cringed because some parts read like fucking fanfics. Bella needs to restrain herself.

[angela]

hm..
i quite like Meyer's writing
i think that the way she writes and expresses things, give the audience a small detailed but still intricate view of her life and events that happen...
i guess it is reasonable though that Bella acts the way she does in the third book; she was 'irrevocably' in love with Edward, and then he just leaves.. it may be hard to understand but i think everything Stephenie does is inspiring; mostly including to the people who really like the Twilight series.

[Manon]

First and second weren't bad; I kind of got over the whole obsession after New Moon, and I hated Eclipse. She dragged it on for ages. >.> Overall, Stephenie Meyer isn't a bad writer, but the plot was only so-so and Bella annoyed me. The series did inspire some hilarious fanfiction, and Twilight'd be one of those teen-lit novels I read when I'm not in the mood for anything else.

[Ichigo]

I bought twilight for my trip, but my mom took it away cause she obviously thought I'd read it in 2 days.
But reading these I can't wait to read it. I'm not sure if vampires are really my thing though. Oh well.

[Lykaios]

I ahve never even seen thew book let alone read it. Vampires isn't my thing and this is the first place I have actually heard something of what it's about.

TW has a twilight bashing club, I had a look once to see what it was about . . . Not pretty for Twilight lovers.

I might read it one day but I'm in no hurry and the bookshops near me, don't stock it, so meh, someday. ^^

[Ichigo]

Okay so...

I REALLY liked the first one. Arh, it was amazin.
The second one was silly, because I realized I only like the first one because Edward, and he was in like what...30 40 pages? Jacob can go and kiss my ass he's a freak.

And I just got the third one so I'ma go and read it now.

[Majyk]

I'm reading it right now. It's not the type of book I usually read, but it is entertaining. I only started reading it so I could understand what everyone was talking about, actually, but it's better then I expected. I'm not sure what could possibly happen in the second one, though. I guess I'll probably read it anyway, but from what I've heard, I don't think I'll like it much.

[Ichigo]

The second one was a snore fest. I think. I didn't like it. But then again I read it after staying up for 30+ hours. So I should re-read it I think.

I hate Jacob.

[Nyx]

Aw, Ichi, don't judge Jacob yet...After I finished the 3rd book I really loathed him but after some time I now prefer him to Edward:P

[Ichigo]

...How could you ever prefer ANYTHING over Edward? He's amazin.

I wish they'd just hurry up and release the fourth book already. I'm going insane...

[Nyx]

But see I think Edward is written to sound amazing, you have to see him from other angles. For one thing he's overprotective. Have you read the 3rd book? If you haven't then DO NOT READ THE SPOILER.

And I think he's really selfish for leaving.

[Ichigo]

I know. I nearly cried when he was gone. As I've said before, I didn't like the second book.

But in the third one he isn't as over protective...he learns bless his soul....cause he totally has one.

[ScottyMcGee]

I'm a guy.


I admit that I was interested in reading this.


I feel too embarrassed to buy it when I'm with someone.


I think I'll buy it when I'm alone.



/end awkward confession

[Ichigo]

WOOT! Way to go Scotty!

[ScottyMcGee]

Um, right, yeah.

Mh

Mhm.

*walks away very slowly*

[Ichigo]

Well tell us how you like it then. This should be interesting.

[Christy]

I'm really impartial to Bella and Edward (sorry Edward fans). They annoy me fairly easily. I'm not really into the whole romance thing. Even Bella by herself annoyed me. She's very oblivious.

Stephanie Meyer writes well, though her plotline is structured... not well. With New Moon, it annoyed me how what seemed to be the problem is still an issue in Eclipse and how randomly a new conflict comes up. Most of the time, I have no idea where anything is going because none of the problems seem linked to each other at all. It frustrates me that everything is so random.

I think what keeps me reading them is my how much I adore the supporting characters. They're so much more animated than Bella and Edward, have much more engaging histories. All of the werewolves are my savior. I got really annoyed with the teeange boys in Bella's school. I do not know teenage boys that act like that and they just all seem so unrealistic. The werewolves seem more human than any of the other characters, ironically enough. And Alice is absolutely amazing and engaging. And the rest of the Cullen's are pretty awesome, especially Emmett and Jasper.

[Rouge]

My main problem with the series was her amateuristic writing skills. It really distracted me when she used the same comparisons over and over and over. I thought they were good, but I'm flexable to make fun of it too. It's lots of fun. :)
I bought The Host, but haven't started it yet. I hope she's improved.

[aj.e]

Okay, to those people who love Twilight, I am sorry. There are a LOT of people who hate the series. But who am I to say? I never read the thing.

[Nyx]

And the rest of the Cullen's are pretty awesome, especially Emmett and Jasper.
I know what you mean, I think I just read the books waiting for scenes with Jasper in it, I love him D: I also like the werewolves too but I don't like them as much as the Cullens.

There are a LOT of people who hate the series.

Eh, so what?

[Rouge]

Oh, apparently her writing skills haven't improved in The Host. She's still an amateur writer which bugs me.:glare:

EDIT:

The Host is amazing.
I like it better than Twilight.
AND my friends are stupid because her writing skills have improved. Brava Mrs.Meyer.

[elainers]

i actually enjoyed the series quite a bit, although i went into it rather dubiously. i admit that bella is not the most exciting character in the world, but i think her redeemable quality is her love (quoting from her observation on wuthering heights xP). the appeal of the books, imo, comes not from the plots or her writing skills but from the relationships in the book. a lot of people probably relate to (or wish they could) bella -- not that we all have experience dealing with vampires, but more in the area of finding that unconditional love.

i had to admit though, i was pretty peeved with bella in eclipse. what is that girl doing when she already has an edward? =P

[Pibs]

I've just read the first one, so...

The book was okay. I was often REALLY annoyed with Bella and how she failed to think things through. Edward got annoying sometimes because he was just so perfect and handsome and controlled and valiant...:sleep: Renee and Charlie were amuzing. Alice was fantastic, Jasper is AMAZING!!! (he's MINE!:crazy:) Emmet was enjoyable, Carlisle and Esme were good, Jacob was okay...

Yeah. Basically, the main characters got boring and annoying, the supporting characters were good.

The plot felt kind of empty, with not a lot of action, except at the end, where it was predictable. The writing was so-so. And yet I read it all, and enjoyed it. I think it was prolly all those female teenage hormones that got me through. And the hope of learning more about Jasper. He's amazing. He Emmet, and Alice are my fave characters.

There, my pointless rant is complete. I can go to bed now. :sleep:

[Nyx]

it. I think it was prolly all those female teenage hormones that got me through.

So true! I totally wondered why I even liked that book after I read all three, but that line is exactly why xD

Also, you can have Jasper[although he's my second fav.]. But Jacob is mine!
And you can't take him after you read new moon ^^

[elainers]

And the hope of learning more about Jasper. He's amazing. He Emmet, and Alice are my fave characters.

I think you get to learn more about Jasper in the third book. He may appear for a few pages in the second one.

I found out that Meyer is actually writing a parallel book to Twilight, from Edward's point of view. It won't be done for a while yet (her website said that she was only halfway through at this point), but she did post up a very rough first chapter online. I thought it was interesting. I'm not sure how well I'll like the book, considering that plot-wise there won't be anything new...But I'm sure the hormones that got everyone through the other books will be working in Edward's favor. :P

It bothered me how flighty Bella was in the third book.

[Circe.]

Before I start, you should know that I am a guy, and I'm not affraid to buy the books or read them.

My bestest friend at school fell in love with the books. She went on how great they were so naturally I had to buy it. I'm glad that i did. I love Meyer's writing style. However, I find the conflicts her characters are thrown into are a bit redundant. But all in all, I really think she's become one of my favorite authors.

(Weird though huh, because I'm a guy?)

I'm currently reading the host. And I have to say she's done a great job on that one too.

[Rouge]

I WANT THE BOOK FROM ED'S PoV!!!

It'll be so much better than Bella's because she's a whiney baby.
:)
*sigh* Edward. :love:
However, I love Ian
more.

[Nyx]

Meh, I think the book from Edward's PV would piss me off...just because Edward's whole character is botheing me. I used to like Edward, but I changed my mind when I reread the books :rolleyes:

[Ichigo]

I actually like how the characters are so cliche?...In Edwards case anyways. I like how the books don't have much plot, and aren't so...descriptive. It's nice to read something that's nice, and slow pace. It's different, and a sort of risk.
As for Bella's character, I can so relate to that. The clumsiness I mean.

[elainers]

Here (http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/midnightsun_chapter1.pdf)'s a link to the first chapter (rough) of Edward's POV. It's going to be called "Midnight Sun."

[Rouge]

*sigh* I had a long post, but my computer went backwards so it was erased. :glare:

It was basically a rant about how Twilight didn't complete my life and The Host did.

[Ichigo]

Oh jeez I hate it when that happens!

So the Host eh?

[Rouge]

Most definitely. Read it first.

Because I wish I had. :)

[Circe.]

I love the Twilight series. I just finished the last book, so far, yesterday.

[Paradox]

It's sort of creepy how this series sucks you in. It's addictive. I don't even like romance and when I read Twilight I was hooked!

I just checked out New Moon and plan on reading Eclipse and Breaking Dawn when it comes out.

Do you have any idea what makes Twilight so popular and so addictive? I mean, the characters are practically Mary Sue and Gary Stu with vampires thrown in, and it's been done before. This is one of the world's great mysteries...


*Paradox*

[Rouge]

I have no clue. All I know is that The Host is better.
=P!

[Majyk]

Addictive yes, but only for so long. I read the first one pretty fast, then moved onto the second. That one took me forever to read, and wasn't half as good as the first. And now I've just started the third... Well, just started, as in, two weeks ago read the first chapter, but haven't picked up the book since. I need to go find myself a nice sci fi or fantasy book instead, this romance is driving me nuts... :P

I'm not sure I'll be reading the next two, but I kind of want to know what happens. Maybe you guys can just tell me the ending? :P

[Rouge]

I can do that Majyk!

Read The Host.
I mean it!

[Ichigo]

I have no clue. All I know is that The Host is better.
=P!
Your so funny.

[Rouge]

X3 how so Ichi?

...the host is better :D

[Majyk]

I can do that Majyk!

Read The Host.
I mean it!

Alrighty, thanks :D. And yeah, I might do that, instead of read the other Twilight books.

[Phantom]

Twilight is the MOST AMAZING series there ever is! I love it... But I'm rooting for Jacob...

[Rouge]

Burn in hell!

I<3EC4E!

=P

[Escape-Artist]

I just finished New Moon and will start Eclipse after I finish a couple of other books. I want to have the 3 books fresh in my mind before I start Breaking Dawn next month. Can't wait.

[Rouge]

Omgsh. Have you seen her website?

It's all decked-out in red, black, and white.
It's so f*cking hardcore. I love it. :D

There's even a countdown.
X3

[Phantom]

Why did you tell me to burn in hell, Tsuki?

[Nyx]

Why did you tell me to burn in hell, Tsuki?

Because you're a Jacob fan. But I'm on your side. JACOB KICKS EDWARDS A-SS.

[Phantom]

Na Uh! I love Jacob, just like I love Phantom, the underdog!

[Rouge]

*sigh*

You know what?

Screw Jacob and Edward.
TEAM IAN FOR ME!

[Carraka]

I'm such a sucker.

I went over and looked at the website, and then I had to read the page about how she got Twilight published, and now I'm feeling all this empathy for her, and also this outright rage that I AM NOT PUBLISHED YET ... which is bad, because that means I might read this book one day after all. But I wouldn't be caught dead with it. So, I'm going to have to secretly sneak into my neighbor's house (we have their key) and steal upstairs in the dead of night to find ...

Naw. Maybe I'll just borrow it.

NO, WHAT AM I SAYING?

>>>>>>>>Pellinor. I'll read that first. And then I'll finish all those sci-fi books I bought. Yeah.

[Escape-Artist]

What I find so amazing is that she never wrote a book before...this was her first ever. And that she had that dream that was so clear for her, and which she developed into a full story. Also, she said that she kept hearing her characters speak, so it was like she couldn't write it all down fast enough.

I think she is an amazing storyteller, but she's not an amazing writer--not sure if that makes sense. She's good developing her plots, the twists and turns, and making them all fit so well and all. However, when she starts getting into all the mushy romance stuff, she sounds so over the top romantic like those cheap romance books (that I never read ;)). I skipped through a lot of pages in the Twilight series because of that--like in New Moon when Edward starts telling Bella about his love for her..."Before you my life was like a moonless night..." Argh! Makes me want Jacob to just throw Bella over his shoulder and take her home with him. Enough w/all this dopey romantic stuff.

I got through a quarter of The Host but got busy w/other stuff. I plan to get to it next week when I finish my 2 other books on my nightstand.

[Rouge]

She just can't write real well. It's not just the romance scenes, it's the descriptions that killed it for me.

Cold, marble-like, freezing, cold, marble-like, god-like, cold.
That's all Edward was.
Never anything more for THREE books.


This is why I like The Host better. She got better at writing. Amen.

[Nyx]

This thread always makes me sad, because I can't afford the host and I have to wait for the friggin library to give it to me because I've had it on hold for a couple of weeks. -sighs- I really got to stop reading this thread and Tsuki's posts about how the Host is awesome :P

[Rouge]

Aww I'm sorry Nyx. I'd lend you mine, but
:(

[Ichigo]

Haha! Well at least you can get a book at your library. Our library is pathetic. All we have it like...magazines and Piggle...and the Series of Unfortunate Events.

Don't have much faith in the bookstore either, it probably wont have the Host. But I reallly realllllly want to read it now.

[Rouge]

There are like a million copies of the Host here. O_o

But our library doesn't have the Twilight series at all, or they're just always checked out.
I'm not entirely sure on which. :P

[Nyx]

Our library has twilight, thats where I read it from. But lately they're just constatly checked out. The Host is too damn popular, my friggin hold position is like 23.

[Rouge]

Wow

Dude, a girl on TW just compared Dean Koontz to Stephenie Meyer saying they were similar.
o_O

[Nyx]

Wow.

In what way? O_o

[Rouge]

Saying that they were similar in writing and that he reminds her of Stephy.
and I was like:
NO WAY IS SHE ANYTHING LIKE HIM!!!!


I scared of what world is coming to. *shudders* :unsure:

[Ichigo]

Dean Koontz and Stephanie Meyer?
What has that poor girl been smoking?:P

[Nyx]

Yea, that's probably one of the randomest comparisons out there O_o

[Rouge]

It's one of the worst comparisons seening as they have NOTHING in common.
That girl is retarded. =P

[Escape-Artist]

"retarded" :confused:

Well, I've changed my siggy for you, Tsuki. I tried to find a good quote from a Dean Koontz novel, but no good quotes from his novels actually exist. :P

So instead I chose lyrics from Neil Finn's awesome song. They played it in the movie, The Stand, based on the book by an awesome writer, Stephen King. Now there is someone who knows how to write horror and suspense.

[Rouge]

You...don't...know...what...retarded means?

Where are you from?!

And I know who Stephen King is.
Good grief.

[Escape-Artist]

Good grief. I stopped using that word 2 years ago. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or just rude, or both, so I will stop posting here. Lighten up, though. Sheesh.

[Ichigo]

Holy...Escape-Artist there's a thing called FREEDOM OF SPEECH. It's not that big of a deal...
:sarcasm:

[Escape-Artist]

I thought Tsuki was just having fun about the Twilight thing until her 2:15 pm post at me. Maybe I read her wrong. (BTW, I'm the girl she called retarded.)

Anywho, it's no big deal. I was just trying to have fun w/her & Dunns at TW by bringing up Koontz. I apologize for any irritation caused by it.

[Nyx]

Yeesh. That's....how being in two writing forums can be complex :P

[Rouge]

Meh, sorry.

Bad comparison there, but it's whatever. Hate me if you want, I'm up for anything nowadays.
I didn't mean to be rude, I'm just the way I am, and I say what I want.

Sorry if I offended you.


So, Nyx, how's the hunt for The Host going?

[Nyx]

Hold position:20.
That's not as bad as it sounds though cause the libarary has 14 copies.

[Rouge]

O_O your library has 14 copies of The Host?

Wow.

[Nyx]

O_O your library has 14 copies of The Host?

Wow.

Well its not reall ONE library, it's three branches of the same one, but when someone puts it on hold I could get a copy from a different branch. If that makes any sense xD

[angela]

Now I want to read The Host. =="

[Midnight_Moon]

I know this is gonna sound really stupid. But what is "The Host" even about?

[Rouge]

AHH!!!

Go to stepheniemeyer.com (http://youngwritersonline.net/stepheniemeyer.com) and go to The Host.
It has a synopsis that you can look at.

[Squint]

Twilight makes me cringe with all the adolescent girls in my school swooning over a fictional guy.

Bella's a rather boring protagonist too. Her only goal in the whole series it seems is to be eaten out through her neck. Alice would be much more interesting.

[Zombified]

Twilight makes me cringe with all the adolescent girls in my school swooning over a fictional guy.



Finally someone agrees with me!
:D

[Squint]

Finally someone agrees with me!
:D
Hard not to agree. I'm sick of my classmates gibbering on and on about some vampire/werewolf/human love triangle. :)

[Rouge]

YOU'RE MHD!?

AHHH!!!! :hug:

[Ichigo]

MHD?
...From TW?

[Carraka]

-squints-

Nah ...

xP

[Rouge]

Surely it's not.

But then again, who on Earth, other than MHD, would make her debut in a Twilight thread?

I mean, she is my fellow basher. :D

[Carraka]

No, Squint has an intro thread ... it's somewhere.

[Rouge]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything.
I've seen it done before where they pretend to be someone else.

[Majyk]

*steps into middle of conversation*

I just wanted to say that MHD posted a thread (http://www.teenagewriters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14848) similar to YWO's "How was your day?" thread after YWO's was posted.

*shrug*

[Rouge]

IT IS HER!
:hug:

[Majyk]

IT IS HER!
:hug:

It's funny this got brought up, actually, because I was thinking about Squint being MHD today when I saw that thread.

[Nyx]

Twilight makes me cringe with all the adolescent girls in my school swooning over a fictional guy.


There's only one girl in our ENTIRE school who's really obsessed with Ed Cullen, but thats all:rolleyes:

[Rouge]

Yeah... therre are like 30 Ed supporters and ther was one Jacob supporter.
She left though. More power to Team Edward!:love:




(Cheyney, Adrienne's best friend says): I<3E.C.4E! :D

[Nyx]

Meh...Edward's boring:P

[Rouge]

You're Team Jacob aren't you?

Well. I'm
TEAM IAN!
As I've said many times before.


Don't read the above if you haven't read The Host.

[Nyx]

Again with you and tempting me to go and buy the Host -glares-
:P

[Rouge]

You should. That's what I did lol.
Our store had it on sale for 14.99 because it was a bestseller. I should send you a copy. :P

[Nyx]

Only 15bucks?

It's 25 here...-sighs-
Life is unfair...and I am broke xD

[Rouge]

Awwwwww that's sad...

*sends a copy by magic to Nyx*

Hehehe, you could try finding it on the net if you're that desperate. I bet you could.:P

[Nyx]

I could, but I'll just wait. I have a shitload of books I have to read anyways.:rolleyes:

[Rouge]

Haha, same here.
One Carr recommended(yes, GRRM) and two more that two other friends recommended.
SIGH. Plus the books on my shelf.

I'll never run out lol.

[Nyx]

I wish people would stop writing books so I could catch up with my reading list...of course that's purely selfish, but oh well:rolleyes:

[Rouge]

Yes, I think we should start a protest:

STOP WRITING BOOKS! WE CAN'T KEEP UP! YES, WE LOVE YOU GUYS, BUT I MEAN, C'MON!! FIVE BOOKS A MONTH? ARE YOU CRAZY!?

I think that would work well. :D

[Carraka]

I wish GRRM would finish the fifth book. LEAVE SPAIN. GO HOME. WRITE PLEASE.

Ughhh ...

I don't anticipate any other books, so it doesn't matter if there are ten a month or none a month. xP

[Nyx]

@ Carr: I've never read GRRM...but I think I might this summer.

@ Tsuki: I'm sure the protest will go greaaaaaaaaat:P

[Rouge]

Yeah, I think so.

It may have to be slightly more convincing than that...
I'LL BURN YOUR HOUSE IF YOU DON'T STOP!
I SWEAR I'LL DO IT.

But...then I'd go to jail.
Damn.:P

[Nyx]

at least jail would give us unlimited time to catch up xD

[Carraka]

@ Carr: I've never read GRRM...but I think I might this summer.

Really?

You're too young for it. xP

Yeah, I read GRRM when I was twelve. That's rather scary -- but yeah, if you don't mind the non-gratuitous sex (-glare-) then I won't mind if you read it because GRRM IS AWESOME!!!

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes.

Oh, you all are making me so happy. Except Shaun. And GeorgeMichael.

[Rouge]

at least jail would give us unlimited time to catch up xD

That is true.
Unless they took our books away...as punishment.. lol.

Really?

You're too young for it. xP

Yeah, I read GRRM when I was twelve. That's rather scary -- but yeah, if you don't mind the non-gratuitous sex (-glare-) then I won't mind if you read it because GRRM IS AWESOME!!!

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes.

Oh, you all are making me so happy. Except Shaun. And GeorgeMichael.
Georgie won't read it either?

I'm glad I got it today, you're really making me excited.

[Nyx]

They wouldn't take our books...would they?!


Carr: I put it on hold today =]

[Carraka]

That is true.
Unless they took our books away...as punishment.. lol.


Georgie won't read it either?

I'm glad I got it today, you're really making me excited.

You're making me all excited, and I've already read the books! xP

Except now you're reminding me that I should be entering the phase of: what if they don't like it? which I just did.

If you don't like it, I shall be forced to hate you. xP So if you don't like it, um, you better come to talk to me, and I'll explain why you should anywayJaimeJaime.

They should let you read in jail, when reading is such a nice, safe activity that encourages more literacy and less violenceJaime.

EDIT:

-HUGS NYX-

[Rouge]

Ahaha, I think that Carr is in love with this Jaimie fellow.

:D


You do have a point on the jail thing. I mean, they get to watch TV and I'm sure they play Brawl or something.

They have it better then us on the outside world! =P

[Carraka]

You spelled his name wrong ...

And I'm not in love with him. I just have great respect for him. For instance, if he asked me to marry him, I would decline the offer. But he wouldn't, because that would be out-of-character. And if he tried to kiss me I would call the police. -melts-

--

Isn't it also possible to publish while in jail?

[Rouge]

Yeah, I think so...

I'm sorry, I'll spell his name right: Jaime

[Carraka]

It is pronounced like Jamie, though. JAY-me.

xP If you love him in the beginning, I shall stare at you oddly.

[angela]

Has anyone seen the reviews. I think I like them. :)

[Rouge]

Has anyone seen the reviews. I think I like them. :)


Haha, reviews for what? We're talking about like 3 books at the same time. ^^

[angela]

AHA. I meant previews. ==" :L

[angela]

omgsh. I meant: has anyone seen the previews for Twilight the movie. :D

[Squint]

YOU'RE MHD!?

AHHH!!!!
Yup, the one and only. I totally had you fooled with my whole "I'm another Robby" act. :D Hugs to you too, Tsuki.
MHD?
...From TW?
Yep. :) I got sick of pretending to be some noob to writing forums.
*steps into middle of conversation*

I just wanted to say that MHD posted a thread similar to YWO's "How was your day?" thread after YWO's was posted.

*shrug*
Just so you know, I didn't copy! :D I was pissed about World Youth Day stealing my girlfriend, so I posted that as an excuse to be pissed.

Oh yeah and to stay on topic...

ALICE FTW!!!

[Ichigo]

What book is this Jamie in?
I know someone named Jamie...

[Nyx]

omgsh. I meant: has anyone seen the previews for Twilight the movie. :D

Yea I've seen it. It looks okay, better than I expected, but I'm afraid the movie will let the book down.

[Ichigo]

No doubt they will....
But I'll still watch it.
Probably buy it too....
Oh dear I'm a dork.

[Nyx]

I'l definately watch it..I'm going to die in line for the premiere xD

[Escape-Artist]

Oh, yeah, the movie will definitely be a let down--but I'll still be stoopid and stand in line for the premier with all of the middle schoolers. :D

--

And not to make Nyx jealous, but I put both The Host book and audiobook on reserve at my library as soon as it entered the queue months ago. I finally got The Host, then got busy with stuff and didn't finish it. I took it back to the library recently and owed like $3, but then I just got the audiobook from my library, so all is good! The reader, though, sounds like she's 50 years old. Very annoying. I'm enjoying it so far; only about a third of the way through--there are like 20 CDs!

[Nyx]

It's ok, I;m not jelous. Audiobook piss me off.

[Rouge]

Ew, I wouldn't want to listen to it either. :D I prefer to read and have my own voice.

Yeah, i'm going to be a little fangirl too even though I know that the movie will be a HUGE letdown.

Still going opening night. ^^

[Nyx]

Woot, lineups here we come.

Random note: MY FRIEND IS GOING TO FORKS this summer. I repeat: FORKS!
Why is that so exciting?
If you read twilight, you'd know why xD

[Ichigo]

I swear I might move to Forks. I'm seriously considering it.

[Nyx]

You got to admit Alley, we all have considered it;)

[Ichigo]

Hahaa. True, true.

But for the weather I'd go there. If the weather's really like that...

[Nyx]

The constant rain?

[Ichigo]

...Just the coldness and lack of sun...
I know. I'm such a WEIRDO.

[Sofiel]

I plan to be first in line, even if it means camping outside the theatre. Even though it premieres on a school night...

My sister thinks it is strange that I get all huffy when I watch the trailer. I keep screaming 'the scene in the meadow isn't supposed to go like that!' .. and when Bella says she's not afraid of Edward he throws her on his back instead of growling and pouncing on her. How lame. They totally messed it up, and Robert Pattinson is NOT Edward-y enough.

Forks would be an interesting place to live, especially considering every myth comes true. Maybe you'll find some faeries dancing in the rain..

[Ichigo]

I really think Robert Pattinson is Edward. He does have a dazzling appearance.... What can I say? He's grown on me. :P

[Sofiel]

Haha, sure he's gorgeous and he'd 'dazzle' me if I met him...
But he's too serious all the time (at least in the trailer). I'll admit that Edward is supposed to be serious.. but the scene in the meadow... GRRR!

I always figured he'd be more amused. Bella asked the right question after all, 'how long have you been seventeen'.

[Nyx]

...Just the coldness and lack of sun...
I know. I'm such a WEIRDO.
Isn't that what BC's like anyways?:P


I really think Robert Pattinson is Edward. He does have a dazzling appearance.... What can I say? He's grown on me. :P

I'll admit he's grown on me too, but he's still no Edward.

[Ichigo]

I live on the Sunshine Coast... So no.
Actually, really it's cold weather most of the year, but summer is too...sunny.
I'm so picky with my weather.

[Escape-Artist]

The only problem with Forks (other than it being 3 hours north of me, not including the ferry crossing time, so I couldn't go to the event they held there a year or so ago) is that it's such a depressing little town. Also, SM got it wrong when she said it was the rainiest town in the U.S., but it's probably close to it.

The guy playing Jacob is growing on me. I look forward to the later movies (if they are made), though, when his hair will be short instead of long and in a ponytail.

Robert P. is fine with me all except his over-fluffy hair. I kind of have a hair fetish, I know. ;)

[Nyx]

I live on the Sunshine Coast... So no.

I see. I forgot you that live on the Sunshine Coast.

[Rouge]

Meh, I don't like Robert P.
He is not Edward. I mean, they could have picked a better guy. That's just me though.
^_^

[Nyx]

I actually can't think of anyone better they could've picked. Anyone they pick is a letdown next to Edward because Edward isn't human and actors are :rolleyes:

[Escape-Artist]

There's a "truck scene" where RP is crouched down with Bella (don't want to say more in case anyone hasn't read it). The look he gives her is very Edward-like...very predatory. Hopefully he can pull off Edward in most of the other scenes too.

[Rouge]

I actually can't think of anyone better they could've picked. Anyone they pick is a letdown next to Edward because Edward isn't human and actors are :rolleyes:


I know, I know, but I just don't like him.
In my opinion, they could've gotten someone better. The guy they had originally had, was a way better Edward, but he turned 24 or something and he was too old.
He looked more Edward-like.

But, hey, it's just my opinion. I can't do anything to change it now lol.

[Nyx]

Who did they have originally?

[Rouge]

http://stepheniemeyer.com/movie_archives.html
The guy named Henry Cavill.

[Nyx]

Oh my god..IT'S EDWARD!

[Rouge]

See =P I told you.

[Sofiel]

Oh, my god. Why couldn't they get him? They wonders of stage makeup and lighting can make a 20 year old look like a 50 year old, or a 40 year old look like a 30 year old. C'mon!

[Nyx]

Yea what the hell?! Was his age the only reason?

[Sofiel]

Grr-rawr!

[Rouge]

Yeah, that's what the article said.
She didn't want to take anyone older than 21 and he had just turned 24 or something like that...
That's why.
SCREW YOU STEPHENIE MEYER. :lookout:

[Nyx]

That's so dumb...isn't that what film makeup is for?!

[ScottyMcGee]

I uh. . .

bought the first book yesterday.

*ahem*

Yeah.

Anyway.

[Ichigo]

... Oh my god I didn't think you were serious about that.

[Nyx]

Have you started it yet, Scotty?

[Carraka]

DAMMIT SCOTTY!!! I WOULD NEG-REP YOU IF I COULD!!

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE READING A GAME OF THRONES!!! YOU CAN GET LOTS OF REAL ROMANCE IN THAT!!! GAH!! WHAT THE HELLL!!!

...

Can I borrow it?

[ScottyMcGee]

... Oh my god I didn't think you were serious about that.


No. . .

I was quite serious about that. >_>

[Rouge]

I uh. . .

bought the first book yesterday.

*ahem*

Yeah.

Anyway.



....WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS?!
:glare:

MEH!

[Nyx]

...

Can I borrow it?

Wow:rolleyes:

Carr, I have no idea how we're going to be future mortal enemies. :P

[ScottyMcGee]

....WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS?!
:glare:

MEH!


I dunno.

Didn't think it was important.

I mean, do I tell you every single book I buy? No.

[Rouge]

Well, no, but this is huge.
=P

You tell me a lot of other stuff!
Next you'll be saying you bought The Host. X_X

[Nyx]

Scotty?! Have you started it yet?

[Carraka]

Damn you, Nyx. He's supposed to be reading George R. R. Martin first. As are you.

--

On the other hand, Alain just died, so we ought to draw back and give him a little space.

[Rouge]

...I'm reading GRRM!! It's really good. Perhaps we should listen to Carr more.
^^

[Carraka]

I would quote you in my sig, if my sig had room. But from now on I'll just direct Shaun to this post or something. I still find it impossible to believe that he would willingly postpone reading this series indefinitely.

[Rouge]

Yeah Shaun. Liste to Carr. She knows what she's talking about. ^^
=P

[Nyx]

I started it last night, Carr! It's ok..I'm not too interested yet.

[Carraka]

I started it last night, Carr! It's ok..I'm not too interested yet.

Have you read past page 29? I was hooked on that page, Tsuki was hooked sooner, and I guess some would be hooked later ...

[Nyx]

Have you read past page 29? I was hooked on that page, Tsuki was hooked sooner, and I guess some would be hooked later ...

Nah, I'm still only on the first chapter xD

[Pibs]

Guess wha-at?

I'm gonna get vampire teeth! W00t!

[/spam]

[Rouge]

Shame on you! It's amazing!!!!
I'm on page 60 =P Just started today.
In fact, I didn't even do my job at the library. I was reading. XD

[Carraka]

She likes it now. She got hooked in the same chapter as me.

xP For the same reason: Viserys-cruelty.

[Rouge]

Yes ma'am!

I'm going to go do something now...critique, read...eat..
Something. :P

[Nyx]

OMG! I saw the cutest thing today, my friends display pic said this:

I have OCD
obsessive
cullen
disorder

[Rouge]

Ahahahahaaa

I have a button on Facebook that says:
I'm CDO.
It's like OCD only the letters are in order.
(like they should be!!!)

xD

[Ichigo]

I think I really do have mild OCD. My dad has it so...
I donno.

[Rouge]

OMG!

I work at our library, right? I walk in there to tell them that I'm not going to be working there anymore past Thursday because band is starting up and lo and behold a whole box filled with Breaking Dawn. I said "IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?!" and they said, "oh. Yeah. Breaking Dawn. You can't open it, because it hasn't hit the stores yet." I said, "my friend and I are going to a midnight release party for it on Friday, but OMG I can't believe you have it." (Picture me very excited llike because i was.) And the head librarian said, "Well, Shelley, if the box goes missing we'll know who took it." Then I said, "if I slit the tape, take a book, and re-seal it, you'll never know." all sly-like, you know?

I was sad that they wouldn't let me take a book. They were RIGHT THERE. Right beside my feet and I had not the power to read them.

/slashes wrists

[Carraka]

Even though I've never read Twilight, I can feel your pain.

No, wait. I would go insane on the spot. Literally insane. That is, if those books there were A Dance with Dragon books, and they were just there and ... ohmigodohmigod

Right, that's all hypothetical.

Hmm, I spent an hour or so reading reviews of Twilight on Amazon today, and I've finally decided that I am going to read it someday.

[Nyx]

@ Tsuki: ouch, sounds painful.
@Carr: Yay! YAY!:D

[Rafael Domination]

OOh! OOh! Apparently, the Twilight Series knocked out HARRY POTTER off the top bestsellers list! My sister's raving about it - and she's usually not much of a reader. I might check out the book myself! :D

[ScottyMcGee]

^Whoohoo! Now I don't feel like a flamer being the only guy here who bought it and is reading it.

[Midnight_Moon]

What Twilight Character Are You Quiz (http://www.quizrockit.net/twilight-quiz?gatherer_id=100332&gclid=CJbdwv3b55QCFQnIsgodHVnBQw)

Maybe someone will be interested in this.

[Rouge]

...That site is a hassle that's just looking to spam you. Why else would they want your number? :P

I'm not finishing it, it's not worth it.
I do wish I know who I was more like...

[Nyx]

^Whoohoo! Now I don't feel like a flamer being the only guy here who bought it and is reading it.

You're not the only guy...my friend read it, but he didn't like it xD

[ScottyMcGee]

I meant ON HERE. As in, YWO.

[Nyx]

Oh ok.

[Rouge]

You're not the only guy...my friend read it, but he didn't like it xD


Did your friend read all three?

[Nyx]

Did your friend read all three?

Nope, just Twilight and Newmoon.

[Rouge]

No wonder he didn't like it.

He read the depressive book.:P

[Nyx]

No he just hated Edward and said he wanted to hit him x0

[Rouge]

He's just jealous.

XD

[Nyx]

Nah, even I want to hit Ed.

[Rouge]

...forwhy.

[Nyx]

He's really manipulative. Ew. xD

[Rouge]

So.

He's all beautiful and cold and beautiful and god like and beautiful and freezing and cold and marble-like and god like.

xD

The one thing I didn't like about the book... her descriptions.

[Nyx]

Haha. He doesn't even sound beautiful, he's just super pale xD

[Rouge]

I forget, you're Team Jacob aren't you.

[Phantom]

GO TEAM JACOB!!!!!
I love Jacob too.

[Nyx]

Yesh! Jacob=awesome=hot werewolf = OMGIMINLOVE xD

[Rouge]

http://i36.tinypic.com/15pg74h.jpg

I'm Team Edward.

:P

[Phantom]

HE'S MINE... Wait no, Mary, that's Gerard Butler... :P

[Rouge]

Are you referring to Edward Norton or Jacob?

[Nyx]

You can have Butler, I get Jacob and Tsuki can get all the Edwards xD

[Rouge]

YAY!!!!!! :hug:s Nyx.

That, I can deal with. ♥Edwards♥

[Phantom]

Works for me.

[Nyx]

Yep, -hugs Jacob-

[Rouge]

Can I haz Matt too?
He's the only singer I've ever been like... SO swept off my feet with. It's the piano.

Wait, what am I saying? He's mine! :devil:

[ScottyMcGee]

I'm very afraid of how this thread suddenly turned into a group of flesh-grabbing Man-Eaters.

o_O

*backs away very slowly*

[Phantom]

You can have him so long as I can marry Gerry Butler. :D

[Nyx]

Its ok scotty you can back away, we won't stop you...or will we?:devil:

Anywho..you guys can have thems people, I get Jim Sturgess ^^

[Rouge]

Yay. It's settled then:

Nyx--Jacob (any Jacob she wants including Jacob Black) and Jim Sturgess
Phantom--Gerry.
Me--Edward(of anykind) and Matt.

♥_♥♥_♥

[Nyx]

-sighs- But I don't like the actor they chose for Jacob...

[Phantom]

YAY, I LOVE YOU GERRY.
Gerry Butler: What?

I know I'm weird, but think about that for a minute.

[Rouge]

-sighs- But I don't like the actor they chose for Jacob...

Make your own. It doesn't have to be the actor.... :D

[Phantom]

Shame, Tsuki.
My Jacob, actually my boyfriends name is Jacob, in my mind is gorgeous.

[Rouge]

O.o I just realized that whoever I was talking to deleted their posts.

That looks terrible....

Wait-- I'm confused now. What are you talking about Phantom? Why should I feel shame....?

[Rafael Domination]

^Whoohoo! Now I don't feel like a flamer being the only guy here who bought it and is reading it.


Oh, don't worry. All cool guys have their adorkable little guilty pleasures. Since I'm on the internet and no one can tease me in real life, I'll admit that even I sneak a peek at a few romance novels my sister reads. I dunno, the girls on the front cover just seem so hot, and maybe if I read about them, I'll get a better picture as to whether they're my type or not! :D

[Rouge]

I bet you do read a little more.
xD

[JDL8]

Thanks for the review. I've pondered wheather or not to pick up one of the books from the series and now i may. What 's kept from doing so is wondering if they're vampire mytholody background is original and not just the whole bad in sunlight and garlic repelent stuff. It's gets boring after awhile.

[Nyx]

If that's what worries you then you should definately go read the books. The books have a twist to the old mythology.

[Phantom]

BREAKINGDAWNCOMESOUTTOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so freakin' excited!

[Ichigo]

TOMORROW?!
OH DEAR LORD ARE YOU SERIOUS!
Dad LIED to me!

[Ichigo]

-sighs- But I don't like the actor they chose for Jacob...

I LOVE THE JACOB ACTOR!
I only wish they wouldn't have his hair long...but that would defeat the purpose of him playing Jacob I guess...

[Nyx]

Meh, I'm not reading breaking dawn till the 20th when I go on my trip, because I want to read it on the plane:rolleyes:

[Rouge]

I don't know how you could put it off that long. Going to get it tomorrow and read it probably before monday.

[Nyx]

I'm not really that into Twilight, the only book I needed the first day it came out were HP books and now thats over -sniff- :(

[Majyk]

Is this one coming out the last Twilight book?

[Rouge]

Yesssssssss

[Majyk]

Someone tell me how it ends, please. I'm not patient enough to read it, along with book three. :p

[Rouge]

MAJYK!!! you make me sad. :(

Okay, I'll tell you how it ends. :P

[Majyk]

Sorry... but I found myself letting it just sit by my bed and collect dust. *shrug*

Thanks, though. ^^

[Rouge]

Anytime. you have to read them sometime though... Or at least The Host.

Can you do that? :P

[Majyk]

I read the first two, and some of the third. Yes, I can. :P Sometime remind me to put The Host on hold at the library. Mmm, maybe I'll do it after I've finished the series I've got coming...

[electrilad]

I'm going to the breaking dawn party tomorrow! Me and my best friend are dorkin it up, and are drinking tons of red bull, then making vampire costumes and reading the books until 7 o'clock the next day.

[Rouge]

Excited yes?

yay majyk!!

[Ichigo]

I'll have to take the bus to the book store. GRR!

[Midnight_Moon]

I haven't even read the second and third. *cries* I want Twilight!

[sera_bookworm]

i can't wait for the fourth book to come out!
I heard it was pretty good, plus with good reviews =D

[Phantom]

I'm GOING TO CINCINNATI TO BUY IT WHEN MY MOM GET'S HOME FROM WORK!!!! Do you have any idea how excited I am!!!!! I'm gonna be up till forever to finish it!!!! Then I'll have to let random_writer borrow it at band camp! Then our friend, as I call her Clairbi-Wan...

[Ichigo]

I'll be reading it in an hour from now.

[Phantom]

I'll be reading it three hours from now. Hopefuly... I really don't know how much money I have... How much does it cost anyone know?

[Ichigo]

like.. $25 or something.
