Points to Address - Letter to Smeyer

posted by DracoLuver

Hello everyone!

I'm planning on écriture a letter to Stephenie Meyer regarding the Twilight series. I wanted to address all the points many people do not like in the series. The letter is going to be friendly and straight-forward. I wanted to hear what everyone would want me to include. These are a few of the topics I am going to be including:

- Anti-feminism
- Abusive relationship
- Unhealthy obsession
- Lust does not equal l’amour
- Bella is horribly rude to her Friends (not valued friendships)

These are just a few. Please add anything and if there is something specific you'd like me to add.

I'll be working on this letter and posting on Sunday on Fanpop, so I can add anything else and have your approval and then I will send it to her.
I understand that Seth probably won't let it get to her, but it's worth a shot and I will post his reply (assuming he does reply.)

Thank you! :)

forksandspoons um excuse me but if u dont like the twilight series why r u obsessing so much over trying to send a letter to the author i mean come on. just drop it n stop wasting ur time trying to do something that is pretty much worthless. she already wrote the books its not like she going to take all of the books she sold back just so she can fix them to meet YOUR standers. i mean its just not kool.

DracoLuver I'm not obsessing over it. I never said I was. Stephenie doesn't understand the fact that MANY people don't like her books. She always shrugs off the questions and compares herself to Shakespeare. I just wanted to write a letter to state my opinion. I know she wrote the books and I do not expect her to take them back, I would like to explain WHY she gets so much hate-mail and how she can improve her writing. She doesn't have to meet just my standards. Many people would agree with me, including English professors. If you have a problem with me writing a letter, then don't comment. My question wasn't directed to Twilight fans.

Bellatrix-Black It won't get through to her anyways, her brother screens her emails and doesn't let criticism through.

DracoLuver ^ I know it might not, but it's worth a shot. I'd like to see his reply too.

PotterForever It's a very good idea, but she refuses to accept critisizim, it's not going to get passed her brother. Also, don't forget to include the massive plot holes (Renessmee, or however you spell it) And the repetietive dialouge, (endless descriptions of Edward's beauty) The lack of sacrafice, and overly contrived happy ending. The books are very flawed, and Smeyer refuses to accept her flaws, has she actually compared herself to Shakespeare? Wow, I never heard that. So yeah, send it, but don't expect her to actually see it.

DracoLuver ^ Okay, thank you. Sadly, she has compared herself to Shakespeare and in one interview she stated that Twilight may be better than Romeo and Juliet. One fan tried convincing me that it was [i]Shakespeare[/i] who copied off of her.

Kylie90210 ^ No... You are kidding me right?! This is why I hate Twilight... Those kids have no clue. Great idea, I have nothing to contribute, but best of luck!

DracoLuver ^ Thank you! And, yes. I mentioned the fact that he's ALREADY DEAD! She didn't believe me though, so whatever.

Bellatrix-Black She didn't believe you? New levels of idiocy have been achieved.

DracoLuver ^ Tell me about it! lol I worry for humanity. What annoys me more is when they say, "But I'm only [enter age number here]! You can't expect me to know!"

GemonkDruid Don't forget the sparkly vampires. ;D

Bellatrix-Black But I'm only 15! You can't expect me to know anything about good literature! *cough* I dunno...I was forced to read Shakespeare all through middle school and grade 9...

Herm-o-ninny Someone thought Shakespeare copied off SMeyer? That, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Including all of Luna's stuff. Oh, and in the letter, don't forget to include how Bella is a necrophiliac and how Jacob is a pedophile. Maybe she won't read it, but someone will. Now that I think about it, DOES she know how to read? :/

PotterForever LMFAO! Someone really thought Shakespeare copied off Meyer? Is it even possible to lack that much intelligence? But I'm only (insert age number here) is a stupid thing to say, you don't have to be an adult to know Shakespeare died several hundred years ago, so unless he had a time machine, I don't see how he could've copied smeyer. Good luck with the letter, I hope she sees it (but she probably won't)

GemonkDruid Maybe he did. Maybe Shakespeare also rode on a unicorn and pooped rainbows too.

DracoLuver Haha. One of them was like, "I'm only 13! I don't know anything about Shakespeare! Plus, Harry Potter is HARD to read!" Me: "Um, you do know I'm 13 too and I'm reading LOTR." And then she said I was lying and all this other stuff Thanks for all the ideas and good luck's. It's worth a shot. I will post the letter hopefully by Sunday and next week I'll post the reply I got (If I recieved one.) I was reading an article about how someone sent a letter to her and her brother responded very rudely, accusing them of being biased and untalented in writing. *sigh* - He feeds her ago.

KishuandIchigo ^^A minute before I read that I was typing "Unicors are" into google. @DracoLuver Sounds cool! I hope she reads it, even if Seth goes through the emails.

DracoLuver ^ I hope so too. I'm pretty sure Seth will reply though, but not kindly.

So the Twilight fan came up and said.......

posted by KateKicksAss

I found this online. It's a real conversation a bookstore employee apparently had with a Twilight fan. It didn't happen to me. I found it funny, thought toi guys might too.

(A customer in her late teens approaches me in the bookstore.)
Customer: “Hey, do toi guys sell the Twilight books?”
Me: “Yes, they’re right over there.”
Customer: “Have toi read them?”
Me: “Yes, I have.”
Customer: “Didn’t toi just l’amour them?!”
Me: “Well, actually, they aren’t really my type of book, so–”
Customer: *suddenly furious* “Are toi f***ing serious?! These are the best livres ever written! I’m going to tell Edward to come and bite toi and drink all your blood!”
Me: *backing away* “Have a nice day, ma’am…”

Muggles vs. Non-vampires

posted by ilovereading

I was thinking about difference in Harry Potter and Twilight background and this is what I concluded. Enjoy!

Knowledge of magical beings not soo very far from their backyards
Harry Potter: As I can get from HP livres and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, wizarding world was known to Muggles, but because of witch hunt and victims of it in both sides, wizard decided to go underground and not to be commonly know to people. They don`t use spells in front of Muggles and if sombody does manage to discover their secret, they erase their memory.
However, there are exeptions. Families of Mugle-borns ofcourse...

A Rant About Twilight And Harry Potter.

posted by Guste_LT

THIS IS JUST MY PERSONALL OPINION, FEEL FREE TO DISAGREE, THIS IS JUST WHAT I THINK, NOT THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF TWILIGHT FANS. SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION!!!!!!

Thank you.

Just so toi know, this is a Twilight fan speaking.

Twilight may NOT be the best book ever, i didnt say that it was (keep that in mind), when i read it, i saw alot of flaws, like in breaking dawn, Meyer made it clear that vamps cant inject sperm, and yet, somehow Bella got pregnant. I've read this article par XDRoseLuvsHP, and i totaly agree. I believe that People like Twilight plus thatn HP because it...

A Declaration Against the Twilight Saga

posted by PrincessVandal

For all of toi who don't know this, but I am an ex-Twilight fan. This my own personal opinion based on my personal experience with the series. For all of the Twilight fans who may be lire this right now, toi have been warned. So here I go:

When in the course of normal, non-brainwashed leader events, it becomes necessary to dissolve the addiction of the highly “popular” teen-craving novel which have been oppressive to the efforts to differentiate the normal and the abnormal fantaisie to which people, generally females, dreamed of, decent respect to the creativity based on the author's dream...

How I Have Become a Twilight Hater

posted by ilovereading

Like a lot of other Antis, I was at first a Twilight fan.

I got into lire when I was 8 years old. First real book I have read was Harry Potter. Since than, I have read loads of fiction - romance, science fiction, fantasy, historical novels...
I liked some of them and disleked others. With years, I learnd to tell why and found my favoris - fantaisie novels.

My friend heard of upcoming Twilight movie, so she decided to read it. She recomended the book to me, so I said: "Heck, why not, it sounds interesing." I borrowed it from school bibliothèque and read it. I admit, I thought it was great, and I...

Harry Potter

posted by bakura1234

It has a PLOT! It has Subplots.It has several characters with depth.JK is not afraid to sacrifice the good guys. The characters aren't one dementional. JK researches her material, has good use of Latin and history within her books. Spells are named after Latin words and do what the Latin words do. Names of soem characters give hints as to what that character is such as Sirius which means Dog étoile, star for plus Albus which means White (pure wizard). toi can relate Harry Potter to WWII because of similarities toi could learn some history from the books.
Harry Potter teaches a good deal about prejudice...

The Internet and Maturity

posted by Kersian

Okay this is plus of an opinion, since my view of the activity is based off opinion.

Now whenever someone posts something on the internet and someone else responds negatively to it, they respond in the same way to that person. In a very negative tone. This is in fact what I see at times in forums.

First Twilight and Harry Potter fans, if toi post anything on the internet, whether they are opinions ou facts, toi have responsibilities with it. toi are exposing yourself to others in the internet. toi are responsible for the positive ou negative replies. So don't blame others for your actions....
