bloodyrosemccoyDear Stephenie Meyer,
On behalf of all us Twilight lolfans out there, I would just like to thank you for creating this train wreck. From the bottom of my heart I send you warm sentiments and a glow of complete, unabashed fondness. I don’t know if you realize that it makes my life a little more interesting to know that somewhere out there, whole hordes of women and young girls are declaring Stephen King’s assertion that you can’t write* to be motivated entirely by jealousy that your book got made into a hit movie, and furthermore challenging him to write a bestseller if he thinks he’s so great.
With warmest regards I remain,
Yours in schadenfreude,
Amelia
(The appalling lack of pop culture awareness regarding Stephen King has led lolfans to a new theory on Twihards, as expressed in the second-to-last paragraph of this entry by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cleolinda: that the more crazed Twilighters actually have not read any other books, which is why they get so vehemently defensive about this one: they have nothing to compare Meyer to, doubled with the fact that if you insult Twilight you are saying that they have 100% bad taste in books. An interesting theory, and one that may shed a lot of light on the oddness of so many true fans.)
*Which is totally true. I figured I should at least try to read the books. I think I got to, maybe, chapter 5.
