I felt a compelling need to write this article because recently I have found myself plus constantly thrust into situations and debates where I have to defend the Harry Potter fandom against the Twilight fandom, which I despise so much. My best friend and her family are actually major pro-Twilight fans. This past evening made me realize that there are so many reasons why Harry Potter is much plus awesome than Twilight, and its not just the obvious ones either. Thus, I give toi all the evidence toi will ever need to successfully pwn a Twilight fan trying to bring your fandom down.

Obvious Reasons
1. We have plot and character development, they don't.
2. Our actors are better than their's, as well as our films.
3. Harry Potter has been around since 1997 and is still going strong, Twilight has only been around since 2005.
4. Sparkling...WTF?!

Reasons of Personal Opinion
1. Stewart can't act. At all.
2. The Twilight films and livres are way too easy to make fun of.
3. The Twilight fans are mostly scary and rabid. Compared to their fandom, Harry Potter fans look very docile and tame.
4. One word: Twimoms.
5. The visual effects in New Moon were laughable at best, hilarious at worst.
6. The awards that Twilight wins have no merit, such as MTV Movie Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and Kids Choice Awards.
7. Hot Topic continuously plagues their stores with Twilight merch and hinders our ability to get our hands on Harry Potter merch.

Factual Reasons
1. Twilight has sold over 100 million copies, Harry Potter has sold over 400 million.
2. Twilight is translated into 38 different languages, Harry Potter into 67 different languages.
3. In all time box office numbers, New Moon is ranked at #37 and Twilight is nowhere on the haut, retour au début 100. Harry Potter occupies three haut, retour au début 10 spots, with Sorcerer's Stone at #7, Order of the Phoenix at #9, and Half Blood Prince at #10.
4. The Twilight films have no Oscar ou Golden Globe nominations, both of which are considered very high honors in film. Harry Potter has a total of 7 Oscar nominations. Three for Sorcerer's Stone, two for Prisoner of Azkaban, and one each for Goblet of feu and Half Blood Prince.
5. Stephenie Meyer's net worth is around 150 million dollars. JK Rowling's is 1 billion dollars.
6. Stephen King has been quoted saying Stephenie Meyer can't write. That's huge coming from one of the most successful horror authors. Here is the actual quote from his 2009 interview in USA Weekend: "Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good."

So suivant time toi find yourself in a heated débats with a Twilight fan and find yourself in a cornichon, pickle as to how to defend your l’amour for Harry Potter, this arsenal of facts and reasons should help toi make a solid stance. I hope this is of assistance to you. Always remember fellow Harry Potter fans, our fandom has critical acclaim, major gross revenue, and longevity over Twilight. In a hundred years, which series do toi think will be remembered? Harry Potter of course, for its ingenuity, creativity, developed plot and characters, and life long themes and lessons.

Seriously it's scary to think this Twihard may have been serious with these statements. This is a version with the Black Pawn Movement's riffs because the original video has been removed par the user. For some reason they ALWAYS are! ;D

Pet Peeve: Name Mispellings

posted by renrae

This is a short little rant, people.

I don't know about you, but one of my biggest pet peeves is when people spell my name wrong.

On Fanpop, I've gotten ranrea, renre, renray, ranraa, and many others. In real life, I've gotten Reagan, Regon, Regen, Reagen.... and people are always misspelling my last name (I'm not displaying that here.)

One thing I've noticed on fanpop (and many other fansites, as well) is that people often fail to spell Stephenie Meyer's name right. That's right: StephEnie, with an E right there. Not an 'a'. An 'e'.

Some people have completely butchered Meyer's name. Stephanie,...

Jacob Black : A Rant

posted by OCFan123

Okay, so I just wrote an article called "Bella Swan: A Rant", and it seems a lot people liked it, which mad me glad! But I've deicided to write an article about Jacob Black, one of the most loved, yet hated characters in the twilight saga
--

Now, what I don't get is why so many people (Especially Edward lovers) hate the guy so much. Okay, yes, he can be selfish, but he was so kind and sweet in New Moon to Bella. He helped her when no one else could, and started to make her smile and laugh again. I really loved him in New Moon(more than Edward, that's for sure.) And to say I was ticked off when...

Why I Dont Like Stephanie Meyer As An auteur

posted by OCFan123

For people who were expecting this article to be earlier, really sorry about that! But I've been getting ready for school(WAH!), so...you get the point.
--
So, this article(as toi can obviously see from the title) is about Stephanie Meyer. Oh yes, I'm pretty sure you've heard of her. The auteur of the Twilight Saga and the Host, she's pretty much one of the most populaire writers at this point. Why?
I really don't know.
The liste of reasons

1)Her writing
Okay, even back when I was a mega fan of twilight(bows head in shame), I never liked the writing. Its just..not good. Hard to explain really. Now reading...
