This isn’t your typical ‘anti-twilight’ blog… This is yet another email (complete with semi-subtle death threat) from someone asking questions about it that some of you may be asking, yourself. Don’t assume that you know what this blog is about simply because you’ve argued on Stephenie Meyer’s behalf before.

This is the very first post on this blog, from my ‘clueless movie fan’ perspective. It was written on Thanksgiving Day, 2011 – then published in here a few days later, after I could reread it and do some editing. It is hysterically funny and incredibly poignant at the same time – for those of you who can’t see Stephenie Meyer’s amateur sexual fantasy floating around in The Twilight Saga. This post is what those of us who ARE familiar with vampires experienced because of Breaking Dawn’s unbelievable ending; and it may help explain for you why this blog exists. It is where absolutely everything started; and demonstrates my intentions for this blog from the beginning. Believe it or not, they were NOT MEAN.

At first, I didn’t know why things were wrong; I only knew that they were – so I was making excuses for Stephenie Meyer in the beginning, LoL! Really… every single estranged TwiFan that she has, USED to be at least a real semi-fan of hers.

Please be patient. I know that most people who are familiar with this controversy have passionate opinions; but what about the rest of you who are completely clueless? I wrote this so that readers would not have to jump off the page, as much. I recommend reading through once; then going back to read links for more details, later. If you get too angry to keep reading, pause and scroll down to the side link collection. I used to be a clueless person in the world, and then a clueless Twilight Movie Fan for a while, too. You’ll see more about me, below. And please forgive the caps, in places. I don’t see them as shouting as some peeps do. They are simply meant to make those words stand out, and that is all…

This blog is all about the accidental and painful over-obsessions of The Twilight Fanbases
that has CONTINUED with a decade of
worldwide bullying and intentional,
emotionally-harsh attacks
on the hearts & minds of little TwiFangirls (and big ones).

The feelings of obsessed fans are real even if
their obsessions are not - until they drift away.
You all KNOW THIS.

Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for 15 - 24 year olds in the US.

These are all REAL issues, to name a few - for MILLIONS of people:
Maladaptive Daydreaming

Absorption

Dissociative Disorder
This one is the worst biggie, and starting
to be considered an EPIDEMIC

Why are the obsessions of young girls important?

Because their feelings are real even if the obsessions are not – until they drift away. Young girls NEED their fairytale ‘escapes’ MUCH MORE than older ones do because they have limited ways to cope with life’s crap (read the comments beneath these neverending, misogynistic tabloid assaults – this one is from January 2016). If you’ve never been forced to endure public high school in the US (or anywhere, probably); or been abused as a child (unfortunately, still a common occurrence) - then of course you can’t possibly relate.

How Did this Blog Change to
Tabloid & Paparazzi Reform

- Yeah, I have some really good reasons beyond
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and their Fans
(Although I’m pretty sure they are enough reason at this point.)

Why Do People Hate Bella Swan and Kristen Stewart?
Believe it or not, this is a very easy question to answer;
and NO it isn’t because she ‘cheated’.

TwiNewsflash: The concerning over-obsessions of young women was the ONLY REASON that Breaking Dawn was forgiven when it was published in 2008. The ONLY people who have defended this story for being written ‘just like it is’ because ‘Stephenie Meyer is a literary genius’ are her YOUNG (and young-at-heart) fans who were used by both the amateur author and her publisher because ‘they weren’t supposed to know any better’ about vampires.

And, these are the fans who get hit & hurt the most by world bullying. It is really crappy of SM and you older ladies to continue letting them believe what they believe about these books - while they ignorantly & arrogantly (in their over-obsessions) deal with all the hate surrounding Twilight that still exists in big, dynamic ways.

Email Excerpt: “Thank you for writing that wonderful blog.. it was heaven sent.. Please someone tell him (this is ‘why the cheating scandal started’, Aug 2012). He just texted me and said he told my mom.. and for me to get some help.. and bye.. please tell him… Everyone is doing this and it’s killing me.. but everyone acts like they don’t know what I’m talking about.. I don’t think I’ve ever needed anything so bad in all my life than for someone to tell him.. I know they are trying to drive me crazy.. and it’s starting to work.. thanks again, was truly a blessing I needed to read very much so.”

Another email excerpt that I hear all the time from all types of fans:
“…
I have tried speaking to my good friend about my obsession and, as with all of my friends,
doesn't like Twilight and totally judged me lol so your feedback means a lot.”

How to Soothe an Intense Twilight / Robsessed / Krisbian / Robsten Obsession

Anti-Twilight Fans could SEE what Stephenie Meyer didn’t MEAN to write;
and Erika didn’t MEAN to write her books ignorantly, either.
Adult women have 50 Shades of obsessive fog to get past before
they can possibly begin to think clearly about this subject.

Why does The Twilight Saga have so many anti-fans? Why are there hardly any male fans? How did Twilight’s infamous obsessions become over-obsessions? Why are so many older women more obsessed than younger ones? Why did the fandom fracture into several various fanbases that fight among themselves? How did we get 50 Shades of Grey out of all this commotion?

I recorded four wildly-ranting videos (this one is my favorite – calling SM out, ha!) over three years ago at the height of my own very unwanted Twilight over-obsession (It’s not like you can unwatch or unread something – or reclaim wasted time). At that point, I was really mad about ‘how I was obsessed’ with this pretty fairytale; and I was mad that Stephenie Meyer had ‘accidentally’ done this to so many other people before me - and didn’t correct any of the dysfunction in her books before she made them into movies.

I actually say this in the second video before I had even heard of 50 Shades of Grey... “It sounds to me like Stephenie has some sort of BDSM fetish, but I don’t even sort of want to think about that right now.” (Video #12 is where you will hear me say this.)

And yet, somehow 50 Shades of Grey (this post is what exactly is wrong with fifty shades) exists as Twilight Fanfiction; and is yet another dysfunctional worldwide ‘phenomenon’?! Do you have any idea how disturbing that is? Not only does it make my skin crawl – it’s just wrong.

There are real amateur literary reasons why Twilight messed with so many people’s heads – especially OLDER women; and we are the ones who get called ‘crazy’ for it - unless we manage to write another dysfunctional (XXX!) blockbuster based on all this negligence…

Did you know that Steph’s publisher didn’t want to publish Breaking Dawn? Did you know that New Moon & Eclipse were not supposed to be in between the 1st & last books? Do you ‘get’ that she didn’t mean to cause so many of her OLDER fans to see Edward Cullen the way they came to see him as Christian Grey? Do you understand that these are the reasons why the world has always &STILL bullies Twilight Fans, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson because of her amateur writing mistakes?

Sick-in-the-head older women had absolutely no right to hijack the pretty fairytale of young girls via Fifty Shades of Grey; and they should care when their daughters are being bullied by the world over it, incessantly.

What’s Wrong with Twilight: Chapter One, First Sight?

The Condensed Version:
The Four Main Complaints of this Blog
against Stephenie Meyer and her ‘professional’ Publishers &
Production Franchise for RARE & irresponsible,
professionally-negligent publishing and movie production.

When the first Twilight movie was being made in 2008; the last book, Breaking Dawn had not been released, yet. Because of this, no one knew at that time that Stephenie Meyer was going to bomb her pretty fairytale into the ground until it was published a few months before the release of the first film.

Extreme chaos & debate surrounded Steph and The Twilight Saga at that time for the exact same reasons that surrounds 50 Shades of Grey - but somehow, she got through it (see side links)...

If 'Midnight Sun' had not been 'accidentally' leaked just prior to the first movie being rushed; AND Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson had not BOTH nailed their parts in that first movie - Twilight would have been history.

Stephenie Meyer could have written any 'ol ending for her infamously overly-obsessed fans (and really, that seems like what she did); and they would have lapped it up like honey (and they did – especially the ones who didn’t know any better, couldn’t see what was wrong – or didn’t care, because of fifty Shades of BEDWARD!!

The entire world has done nothing but treat Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson AND their emotionally-invested fans like sh*t, since - and the infighting among Twilight's divided and HATEFUL fanbases is ongoing.

Despite all this, 'feminists' have embraced the latest and greatest dysfunctional character, Christian Grey/Edward Cullen/Prince Charming...

Popular Email Question: Why does Stephenie Meyer need to apologize? Because the world can’t heal from the wounds she has inflicted on it if she doesn’t acknowledge her amateur mistakes and apologize for them. All she has done from the beginning of her controversies is metaphorically flip off her critics. While normally that is exactly what you are supposed to do… In this case, with all the professional exceptions that were made while The Twilight Saga was being published; the amateur author (AND the publisher AND production franchise) really needed to be listening to fans. It is NOT NORMAL for roughly half of your fanbase (much less, the world!) to become so angry with you regarding a casual creative expression.

I am just using this true stuff about SM’s amateur writing to grab your attention – and boy does it grab some of you, ha! Now if we could just get past that part of things… I really could care less about Stephenie Meyer’s or EL James’ many ignorant and irresponsible amateur literary mistakes that caused all this chaos. Believe it or not, I have stuck up for Stephenie Meyer so many times over this issue, it’s ridiculous.

Creative ‘Freedom of Speech’ is DIFFERENT than the illegal type of ‘Freedom of Speech’ that tabloids & paparazzi hide behind.

Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press were meant to create transparency in order to protect the truth about absolutely everything - not provide a way for mean, greedy tabloid liars to make money off of young (and young-at-heart) fans who are practically defenseless against emotional tabloid & paparazzi assaults (not to mention how even more defenseless Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are against them)…

This blog now has but one mission: Tabloid & Paparazzi Reform for all celebrities past & present (Princess Diana, anyone?) and it has been that since July 25, 2012 – the day after the infamous cheating scandal. Oh yeah, I’ve been on their stinky tails from the beginning. It hasn’t even been SORT of fun! I really hope we can all manage to put aside our differences and unite to stick it to them, someday. Tabloids & papz so deserve it!!

I don’t care how long it takes. Aside from having really good reasons other than Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson to be concerned for celebrity rights; we fans – no matter which side of the ring we fight on – are getting awfully tired of being manipulated and watching our favorite celebrities being harassed. So many of you do not ‘get’ this; but Robert Pattinson is being attacked and/or used as much as Kristen Stewart in these kinds of stories – no matter ‘how nice’ they seem to be slanted toward him, at times. It is just another way to pour salt on the wounds of their fans by being misogynistic toward both them and Kristen at the same time – using Robert and her anti-fans against their will!!

This is because the world has no respect for Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson or Twilight fans – any version of them; BECAUSE of Stephenie Meyer’s offensive & insulting amateur writing (another reason why she needs to apologize). To the rest of the world, we’re all simply hysterical to bully; just another section of the populace to be targeted and made fun of for profits – via outright assaults and numerous lie upon lie that continues

Boycott all online and print tabloids until they volunteer to reform.

Why Do So Many People Hate Kristen Stewart and/or Bella Swan?
or Why/How did so many of Stephenie Meyer’s OLDER fans become so
‘accidentally’ overly-obsessed with the character of Edward Cullen?
Shortest and most anti-fan & fan-variation-inclusive version that I have written, yet!!
Read it only if you dare… and only if you can be HONEST. ;)

Whatever Happened to the ‘Anti-Twilight Army’
from 2008-2009; and WHY don’t you see their support on this blog?

Stephenie Meyer Knows Why Gossip Rags & Paparazzi won’t leave
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart (or her beloved fans) alone.

That’s why she deserves this blog; and it is why it will not be deleted until either
Steph, her professional cronies and/or her fans do something to fix the situation:

‘They took all of my heat, which I feel bad about,' Stephenie
tells The Times Magazine. ‘If they had the choice, I've no idea if

they'd even do Twilight again. I just don't know.
I think this has all come at a heavy price.'

Ya think, Steph?!!

Robert Pattinson’s Career-Hindering Rover Smear
Based on the Whole Wide World’s Twilight Saga Hate

This movie FLOPPED amidst RARE (for him) GLOWING reviews from movie critics at
film festivals who compared his performance to Leo DiCaprio’s Oscar-Nominated
performance in ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’. Yeah, it’s a HUGE deal!!
This movie would not have tanked without way too much ‘help’ from
tabloid manipulation of Twilight’s huge numbers of anti-fans.

Why the Public Shaming of Kristen Stewart MATTERS to Young Girls
by Nico Lang on Huffington Post

Here’s a splash from Nico’s article: "Trampire:" Why the Public Slut Shaming of Kristen Stewart Matters for Young Women “I don't care if Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders did it in a car, in a bar, in a house or with a mouse. But while I might not be concerned for K-Stew, I am concerned for my younger stepsister who idolizes and worships her....” And this is an update from Nico on Salon: Racist 'Twilight' fans won't stop harassing Robert Pattinson's girlfriend, FKA Twigs

Yeah, Twilight’s still-many hateful and overly-obsessed
fans managed to p*ss all over the debut of the proclaimed

Celebrity Rookie of the Year 2014

Aren’t we sweet?

COMMENTS from the WORLD

RobnKris

RobnKris

I have had some really good compliments on my corrective-rewrite of The Twilight Saga from both literary experts and Twilight Fans. It is only a summary, with just the first chapter written as complete to give it the foundation that it should have had (takes 2-3 hours for me to read through it all).

Here is one positive review (sorry, have to scroll down to the comments on this post after the click to read): “I have so very many things to say where to start..... Firstly I love your blog and the rewrite, I felt like you have given the characters depth and a new life. If I were a judge I would totally give you custody! … I am even letting my daughter read it with me because its a good story that is appropriate for kids to read and she LOVES LOVES LOVES IT! Just as much as I do! I think what you have written is loving and responsible to the characters and fans, it is well though out, relevant, and…”

BELIEVE me when I say, I would have MUCH RATHER have LOVED Stephenie Meyer's original Twilight Saga all the way to the bittersweet end. There are not many people on this planet who would have been more PROUD and applauding the loudest for a woman (amateur or not) to have written such a hailed TwiMasterpiece - if Stephenie Meyer had actually done that instead of the embarrassing, barely-edited rough-draft that we got.

This corrective re-write summary is actually very forgiving in many places - at least, where Steph is concerned. I'm sure my anger toward these IRRESPONSIBLE "professional" companies will continue to burn for much longer.

I gave your beautiful fairytale a hell of a shot, sinking MONTHS of my time JUST into researching this subject. (Not counting the months before that when you all had me convinced that it was a WORTHY diversion, ha!)

Between these blogs and the rewrite I have probably written as much as either Steph or Erika have; and I certainly put a lot more thought and creativity (not to mention, knowledge) into it. Just insert either author’s purple prose where applicable while you’re reading, since I didn’t write any – and it is darn near perfect, ha! ;)

As such, you can expect my version of The Twilight Saga to not be XXX. I rewrote Twilight by sticking to the storyline; but I made it believable – really, that was possible. In fact, now that Twilight can be shown as a believable story - it is no longer necessary for Anti-Twilight peeps to continue bullying Twilight Fans just because SM didn’t ‘get’ why she needed to make it believable.

WHY did I take the time to flesh out the character of Bella Swan and Twilight’s vampire (and wolf) storylines? BECAUSE VERY FEW OF YOU OLDER LADIES GIVES A SHIT ABOUT HER (and more importantly, the real Human girl, Kristen Stewart and her millions of young fans) - or ANY of the other Twilight characters, for that matter!

It's EDWARD this and EDWARD that (and sometimes Jacob) - Stephenie BARELY INTRODUCED you to her before you all got hooked on this crap. That's why you can pass this story off, you don't care... You're obsessed about Edward Cullen and could care less about any other character. IF this story had been published for you perverted older brats- Yeah, it would maybe be Ok!

I am NOT talking about you young girls if you're in here reading this - I've heard you talk about Bella and all the other characters. I KNOW you both know and love them, dearly. BUT, those of you who WERE NOT debunked by this storyline (no matter what your age was) SEE these characters differently than so many MORE older ladies do!

Believe it or NOT - Stephenie Meyer and the rest of these women out here (I don't care HOW many of them there are against my ONE voice) are BEING BAD, LoL!

IF we were in college... And the instructor had just given us an assignment to write the first chapter for a novel. IF Stephenie Meyer was a college literary student (which she has been - in FACT, she graduated!); she would probably NOT have gotten an "A" on the first chapter of Twilight - I seriously doubt. I wish a few good English teachers who haven't read the books yet would go through it and grade it - just so we would know, for sure.

I'm not saying that *my* version is a literary marvel - but I have a really good excuse. I have NEVER taken a college writing course much less graduated with a literary degree. If this isn't perfect... Yeah, I know. :)

We make our children do their homework - and dot their "I's" and cross their "T's" - but, WHY didn't this grown adult woman have to?!

I'm going to make you all CARE about Bella and her life, as well as every other character surrounding her - INCLUDING EDWARD - who, it seems to me; you've all just taken under the covers with you to have your way with him like Stephenie Meyer was no doubt doing when she WROTE this stupid saga so ignorantly and irresponsibly...

So when it really comes down to it... YOU robsessed ‘fans’ DON'T even care about Robert Pattinson/Edward Cullen, just your sick little "escape"!

The young adult audience that this story was TARGETED FOR - deserved a whole hell of alot better than what they got. THAT is why I rewrote The Twilight Saga... For ALL THOSE former fans who were debunked by Breaking Dawn after it was published; and then abandoned by the arrogant amateur author afterwards.

We KNEW better... and we were EXPECTING better.

AND it IS ALSO for the rest of you... I DARE you; I quadroople-doople DARE you - READ this and tell me you don't care a lot more about Bella at the end of this Chapter One: First Sight rewrite than you did at the end of Stephenie's first one.

You can think whatever you want to about me... But with this, the two things you CAN'T say about me are that *I* don't LOVE this pretty fairytale OR this fanbase.

Yeah, you be the judge – please.

NEW Comments from the Crowd - Love Me or Hate Me

If you came in to make a comment specifically about my perspective on the cheating scandal, itself - CLICK HERE. This is on a different blog with no introduction; and this is the place where we're going to be brainstorming to work out ways to correct the situation.
******************

I'm thinking that a new page should be started for this blog's discussion instead of attempting to continue with it in the longer, outdated comment thread. The subject IS different, now.

So... BLANK SLATE... What ARE you Twilighters out there REALLY thinking about the perspective of this blog since the big 'cheating' scandal happened?

Btw, it is a GIVEN that pretty much everyone is getting sick of this subject - please don't go on and on about us Twihards "letting it go". If we COULD just "let things go"... Nah, nevermind... We STILL wouldn't have, ha! :)

Btw, here are the OLD Comments if you're interested in those.

- How I Know What I'm Talking About - 

This is specifically WHY this blog has been continued
My FIRST Initial Reaction to Kristen & Robert's
SPIN Around the GAME of LIFE WHEEL!
Talks about WHY it is NOW important for us girls
to realize HOW our Twilight addictions developed.

I wrote this article in January 2012 in an attempt to condense this blog - which was already too long, then - into something more comprehensible to read. I wrote this about the same time I recorded the YouTube videos. I've done alot more research on Twilight since then, and I can see that I have a few things wrong - not the least of which, it was *my* belief at the time that Stephenie had been taken advantage of by her publishing company. Now I know that isn't true, among other things in here - but the story of 'how this TwiPhenomenon happened' is pretty much intact.

This blog has gone through a long, slow development process; and started with me - as a Twilight MOVIE Fan - being almost entirely CLUELESS about this stuff. I've left all my original posts intact. If you follow them through (which takes time, sorry - save this blog and come back to it), you'll be able to 'watch' as my realizations unfolded all the way up through July 2013 and all the big 'Robsten' PR dust-ups.

No, I have not appreciated my TwiRide. At All.

  1. Ok I'll admit I couldn't even get thru the whole page before my blood pressure went sky high! First of all, no you don't have the right to know any actors private business, I don't care how much money they make. THEY are entitled to a life outside of the shows/movies they act in. Second, all of the twilight books (except Midnight Sun) are from Bella's point of view. In other words, a teenage girl. I don't know any teenage girl (and I have 2) that talk properly much less think that way. I don't expect War and Peace when I read YA books. I read them because most of them think outside of the box. Also why can't Stephanie rewrite Vampires and shape shifters? Who says fiction has to be written in stone? After all Anne Rice kind of started us all down this path having Louis drink animal blood. Get off your F%^&*NG high horse and leave it all alone. All you are doing is giving the haters more reasons to hate. And don't we already have enough of that going on?

    1. If you get MAD at what I'm writing within these posts - STOP READING and just go glance down along the side links of this blog. You DO NOT have to take MY word for ANYTHING in here, it's ALL ALREADY been PROVEN!!

      Your defense that the books shouldn't have to be written right because "teenage girls don't talk that way" is illogical.

      We SEND our kids to school to LEARN the three R's, we make them get good grades, we monitor their progress, and then we send them to COLLEGE where they HOPEFULLY LEARN even MORE - like HOW to WRITE what you KNOW about or DO literary RESEARCH. These things apparently slipped Stephenie Meyer's mind when she was writing Twilight - DESPITE her degree!!

      I have mentioned this before... I REALLY wish a few good English teachers would GRADE JUST the FIRST FIVE chapters of Twilight. Stephenie wouldn't even SORT of get an "A".

      We HOLD the HOMEWORK STANDARDS of our kids HIGHER than what we expect out of this GROWN WOMAN with a COLLEGE LITERARY DEGREE who managed to HURT MILLIONS with her irresponsible "saga" - and NOW even moreso with all of her FANS flailing over these PREVENTABLE OBSESSIONS.

      Obviously, despite all this... YOU had a GREAT EXPERIENCE reading these books and watching these movies, Gigi. If only ALL of us had that same experience things WOULD be different.

      THAT'S what's wrong with the way Steph wrote Twilight. I'm NOT on a HIGH HORSE, lady... *I'm* someone who has actually cried REAL TEARS over this stupid story (although not NEARLY as many as some of these YOUNG GIRLS who have been hurt over this Robsten PR Stunt, have).

      I REALLY don't give a flying fig if you don't care about MY PAIN which is LONG GONE by now... But every other girl - young OR older - who has cried REAL TEARS over this silly saga for WHATEVER reason should NEVER have had even ONE reason to begin with!

      If YOUR girls never cried over any of this dysfunction and NEITHER you NOR them are in ANY KIND of emotional turmoil - then count yourself lucky.

      I REALLY cannot IMAGINE why ANY of you are STILL defending this story... You're ONLY defending your own PRIDE at this point and you pretty much look like fools to the WORLD doing it. Stephenie Meyer has already GOT her PILE of GOLD - she doesn't care about any of us as DEMONSTRATED by her LACK of RESPONSE to her HURTING FANS in this ENTIRE scenario.

      Delete
    2. Sorry, I'm going to elaborate... *My* issue with Stephenie Meyer and her publisher and production company NOW has ALOT more to do with their LACK of RESPONSE to this situation.

      I've heard MANY ladies go on and on about how either Kristen or Robert should be saying something... Maybe by putting out some sort of statement letting people know what is EXACTLY going on, etc.

      But, WHY should THEY?!

      Stephenie is the NEXT BEST THING to Bella for Twihards - she is the ORIGINAL Bella in our minds. She could have said just a couple of soothing sentences to our girls while all this was coming down or at some point afterwards. She could have ACTED like she CARES (and yes, I suggested it to her NICELY... Whether Seth passed on my message is unknown, he didn't bother to respond).

      I realize that what Kristen did was NOT cool and I am certainly NOT condoning her actions. But we're ALL VICTIMS of this stupid PR Stunt and probably Robert and Kristen most of ALL.

      They have ALWAYS been extra-hounded, and the PapSmears were FINALLY able to get a good bash on them. It's NOT Kristen's fault that WE are in PAIN over what SHE did!

      This is a situation that should have been discovered and dealt with IN PRIVATE between Kristen and Rob. The paps TOOK whatever they MAY have HAD and p*ssed all over it, Ladies - in a VERY underhanded way!!

      And while things MAY have ended for Robert and Kristen eventually for any number of reasons (including this Rupert scandal)... I'm sure this kind of FANFAIR as they are gliding out from under the SUCCESS of The Twilight Franchise's CLUTCHES is about as FUN as it can possibly be for BOTH of them.

      And NOW they're taking photos of them from a DISTANCE while they're supposedly in the PRIVACY of their own HOME as of TODAY! (Damn, I'm MAD about that, ha!!)

      The petition hurts NO ONE but The Franchise... Why is it so hard for you to shift blame where it belongs and hold them accountable for all this? NOTHING changes about Breaking Dawn, why would it?!

      I KNOW I'm a ridiculous optimist, but *I* only see GOOD THINGS coming out of it for EVERYONE. And it DOESN'T MATTER "what side" of this argument you're on. We can ALL SEE how NUTS SOME of us ARE over our obsessions and we're in PAIN over it.

      The SIDE you're ON doesn't matter - you can love OR hate Twilight; but everyone can be MAD about HOW we're feeling right now and realize WHY we're feeling this way.

      As far as I'm concerned... All arguments and debates surrounding this story are LONG OVER. This blog is only up here NOW so people who can't see this stuff can have it explained to them - MANY people don't even REALIZE they are flailing in an obsession!

      We're onto a different subject, Ladies - holding irresponsible companies accountable for professional negligence in causing our preventable obsessions.

      Delete
    3. Sorry, sometimes I get wrapped up in my own ramble - I almost forgot to respond to one of your questions.

      "All you are doing is giving the haters more reasons to hate. And don't we already have enough of that going on?"

      The reason WHY I continued to push this blog after this PR scandal started was because I KNEW what was coming and I've been MONITORING us like some sort of Scientist who actually knows what the hell she's doing all this time, LoL!

      No, I DON'T know what I'm doing... But I can SEE that IF you're all thinking about THIS SUBJECT - as unpleasant as IT IS; it's a BETTER thing for our brains to be thinking about than continuing to overly-hate OR overly-love Kristen Stewart.

      THIS is a subject we SHOULD be spinning about.

      Our MINDS are ALREADY SET in our obsessions - no one is going to be able to change ANYONE's mind about ANYTHING! (Trust me, I have personal experience with how stubborn you Twihards ARE, ha!)

      But acknowledging our insanity over this series, holding the professionals responsible for it accountable, and learning/teaching through these mistakes seems like a pretty good idea to me - and an awfully grown-up thing to do. :)

      But like I've said... If anyone has any other ideas aside from the petion, I'm listening. *I* would just LOVE to see Steph take SOME responsibility for all this.

  2. I'm sorry but it just sounds like you have no life writing all of this stuff. do you really think Stephanie cares what you say? She's laughing at you all the way to the bank with her check cashing it. Grow up and get a life lady. You're one sick chick for taking the time to do this nonsense that will amount to NOTHING!! LOL

    1. I hear worry in your voice, Jessica... ;)

      I don't care how much money SMeyer has made off her stupid saga. If she really had the moral fiber she claims to cherish, she'd be pretty damn embarrassed about it instead of smug, rich and laughing all the way to the bank at YOU ALL for falling so hard for her barely-hidden, non-researched AND rehashed SEXUAL FANTASY! Continue to be PROUD of that, ALL of you.

      And don't worry about MY life. I didn't have one to begin with, and until this is ALL OVER...

      TWILIGHT IS MY LIFE NOW!! :)

    2. BTW... You spelled StephEnie wrong. Twihards are VERY SENSITIVE about this issue. I know, because I LOST alot of you at the beginning of this FUN project because *I* spelled it wrong, LoL!

  3. Did you delete my comments because I was right or because I pointed out that a) noen of your rants make sense and b) you use the word debunked incorrectly? Get your OCD taken care of by doctors and you will realise this obsession is just a symptom of a mental disorder.

    1. Hmmmm... I've deleted a few useless comments on here because they don't have much to say other than to say nothing and be mean. I DID respond to someone about "my OCD" issues within another comment on this blog not long ago, however - maybe you are looking for your comment within the wrong post.

      MY ocd issues that you're so sure *I* need help with is a NORMAL mental condition that MANY people suffer from; and YES, this IS the REASON I am making such a big deal about Twilight's dysfunctional, overly-addictive, AMATEUR "writing style".

      However, IF you actually have a CONSTRUCTIVE comment to make about my incorrect usage of the word "debunked" - I'm sure we would ALL love for you to enlighten us. :)

    2. DO keep in mind, however... for every ONE grammerical or literary mistake you may find with my writing, I'm SURE I can find MANY MORE within Stephenie Meyer's writing that you've ALL been so BRILLIANT at overlooking.

  4. This sage is a wonderful fantasy series. I love it because it is so well thought out. I love the characters because they act unselfishly and lovingly so much of the time. Stephenie's solutions and resolutions are wonderfully creative. I love the actors who played the characters because they really cared about them and often found creative ways to get deeply into them and then not worry what the critics said. For example: the New York Times said Kristen Stewart was 'stiff' in Breaking Dawn Part 2. Hello! She played the part of a newborn who not only avoided the greatest pitfall of a new vampire(killing lots of humans) but found ways to live the life of a mature vampire when it came to her husband, her little daughter and her new family. I'd say Kristin's intensity in the role was right on. Stephenie took the time and effort to shepherd the making of the movies so that the true essence would not be lost. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all of us treated each other and all our projects with so much love and care?

    1. I'm not sure what your point is with the above, Anonymous - yeah that WOULD be nice. It would also be nice if Stephenie would have taken the concept of suspension of belief when she wrote this series as seriously as people who actually KNOW and LOVE the concept of Vampires do. How ANY of you see this story as creative when it obviously is NOT is amazing. That's how ignorant you are about Vampires (like Stephenie) OR that's how deceptive obsessions can be.

BTW, this poll used to contain 508 votes at one point in time. I'm not sure what has happened with losing votes - either Twihards who originally voted realized their votes were incriminating their beloved goddess/amateur author; OR all these accounts have simply been closed over the course of four months for whatever reasons. Doesn't matter, I've got the original 'important' numbers recorded within these posts.
