I'm not even reading it, and it hurts me...

I'm reading a chapter by chapter review/summary of the Twilight series. It has confirmed my suspicions of this being nothing but absolute garbage and work of fanfiction. She has no plot (which, I can't reprimand her for because I never do either), but it makes me angry that she can't write dialogue OR characterization.

Fuck plot. Dialogue and characterization are the things I pretty much WRITE for. I don't write because I love a world; I write because I love the damned characters and what they do with the world they're in. And you know, why can she make so much money writing when I can write better than she can? At least I know how to us characterization and dialogue. Maybe I fail at plot, but clearly, plot means nothing in this world anymore.

So yeah. I wanna write a book. Placing bets on how long that'll last with my attention sp- Oooh, a butterfly! *wanders off*

LOL. Should I apologize for dropping you the link, Glor? :P

But yeah. Horrible, horrible, misogynistic, racist, ableist, classist, homophobic, generally poorly written Mormon propaganda, and a good 3/4 of the girls my age are fucking obsessed with it. *facepalms*

My favorite part is how the character is so smart and has read all of the required reading

yet can only describe edward as ~a sports illustrated model~

Oh man, I had this guy's Harry Potter reviews bookmarked to read, and then told myself I had too much on my plate so I deleted it, and now there's this. I can't pass this up, and can't let HP go if I'm reading Twilight reviews, so now I have two things bookmarked. Fuck.

I read Twilight, because everyone else was obsessed with it and on the surface it seemed right up my alley. I had to force myself to finish it, and that never happens. I can read a lot of crap pretty easily. Nope. I know I don't even need to go into it.

Hate to threadjack, but do you possibly mean cleolinda? I remember her having pretty good recaps of Breaking Dawn (I know it was the only way I got through that thing.)

This is a good resource (http://cleoland.pbworks.com/Twilight#Bookdiscussionentries) for her stuff.

Nope, it was someone else

AND HEY SAICA, 'SUP

Ahaha... at least I tried.

LUCY! ♥ What a great surprise. (Aand I may or may not have just added you.:>)

Thanks, though! I have so many bookmarks I can never find anything. They're all sorted in ridiculous ways (if they're sorted), too. I've got the categories: horror etc., girly shit (perfume, make-up, sewing, etc.), music stuff, wiki junk, comic stuff!, do want (stuff i want to buy/try/etc), recipes and crap, and general nerdery. No wonder I can't find anything. :/

HAHA, INORITE. (Aaaand I may or may not have done the same!)

Yeah, but it sounds like an awesome system in theory? XD I completely approve of it, at least.

[tamerlane.livejournal.com]

If only I kept up with it and gave them proper names!
