I TOLD you Twilight was EVIL!

[H N Fiddlebottoms VIII]

Damn right! And I say that any vampire which can't be stopped in his tracks by scattering a bunch of poppy seeds is a horrible parody. ALL VAMPIRES MUST BE OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE ABOUT COUNTING SMALL OBJECTS! How much more simply can I explain this? What is scary or interesting about a blood-sucking undead monster that isn't going to immediately stop whatever he's doing to individually pick up and count seeds? Nothing, I say! NOTHING! And if you think there is anything interesting about one, you're wrong. You and ever how many millions of satisfied readers/viewers/listeners who may share your view.
For I am the one true Prophet of Vampiredom, and I say that the most important part about being a vampire is counting goddamn seeds!

One, ah ah ah. Two, ah ah ah. Three, ah ah ah. [/countvoncount]

Truly, a model to whom all horror writers should look for inspiration. The only part of Sesame Street scarier than Count von Count was those damn Yip-Yip Alien things.
I still have nightmares about those.

Over exposure to Sesame Street gave me an American accent temporarily. I can wash but I'll never be clean.

If you want to move to the Peninsula, Seattle may not be the best starting point as they are basically "San Francisco North" while the rest of the State is still reasonably sane.

Spoken like someone who swallows stereotypes whole.

As a former Seattleite, I take offense to your ignorant characterization while choosing not to proffer the stereotypes of those from Aberdeen.

[Saint Clair Island]

dosent anyone know? vampires aren't undead! they just efficently conserve heat, and thus maintain energy to pull off baddass abilities.
Albinism is also a common trait in a large amount of the vampire population.

It's my theory that the vampire is actually a super-evolved kind of spider wasp, which, instead of "drinking blood", actually uses its fangs to inject its eggs into the bloodstream, so that the infant vampire matures inside the host, eventually killing her (it's usually a her) and causing the fully grown vampire to burst out of her chest like in Alien.

Also, all this theorizing is pretty silly considering that vampires only exist in the imaginations of certain writers.

[Animillenia]

I actually enjoyed the series and read all of the books. I thought the writing was pretty good. I even liked the movie. But, I hate vamp kids, HATE HATE HATE them. Whether they be Twilight fans, or any other sort of vampire fans. And hey, all that attention can give a sort of boost to the economy. We don't know whether "real" vampires blow up in the sun or sparkle or not. Have we met them, no, didn't think so. So we cannot truly say what they do or not. All we have are stories that say different things.

I do believe in real vampires, but not any of those loser teenagers and shit that say they are vampires, cause then those are just people with no lives.

[Saint Clair Island]

I do believe in real vampires,

Are you, by any chance, a resident of Eastern or Central Europe?

'Cause otherwise, I'm going to back away slowly.

pppppppppt!

There are rel-life vampire communities around the world. Most real vampires arent emo goths, they are just normal people like you or me. Contrary to popular belief, they do not drink human blood. They only drink the blood of animals and then only after the animal is allready dead.

People who pretend to be vampires =/= vampires or "normal people"

[Allanea]

Vampires do not sparkle, they are not vegetarians and they do not refrain from sex!

I don't think what the Cullens do actually counts as vegetarianism.

Vampires, as described in mythology and fiction, do not exist. People who play dress-up and drink blood are no more vampires than Reploid Productions is an anime character.

In relation to the OP: They are quite a devoted troupe. You should've seen the firestorm that started when Stephen King said Meyer couldn't write worth a damn...

Anyway, I wonder, are certian countries are more suspectable to the Twilight craze than others? The fandom is pretty quiet where I come from (Canada), but one event at the local bookstore was large enough to appear in the news (I think i could hear the screeching from my house).

Ah well, I'm holding out for my "Blade vs. Twilight On Ice!" idea to get approved.

[Belkend]

At least now I know a good way to commit suicide...

Drive down to Forks, go to where the most fans are, and yell, "Twilight sucks! I hate it! It's bad writing and Meyer should be shot!"

You probably won't even have time to feel pain. XD

(BTW, Dunderberry, Blade vs. Twilight on Ice would be AMAZING. <3 )

wow. pummeled to death by a mob of angry 13 year olds. that is horrific.

I need brain-bleach to remove that image from my memory now.

I was reading some anti-Twitard boards the other day, and there was a list of accumulated injuries from fans to people who stood up against it. Some of it was total BS, of course, but people have had their legs broken, ankles twisted, and teeth removed by fans, and have photographic evidence to prove it.

Stuff like that is truly horrifying...

Can you link to this please?

[Grays Harbor]

Y'know, I am a fan of Firefly and Stargate, but I believe I can honestly state I have never had the urge to assault somebody who says they aren't fans. That is just a bit over-the-top.

Who hasn't?

Twilight backlash is almost as annoying as it's fans. There's always some stupid fad coming down the pike, it's just one of those things. You don't like it, don't bother with it. Endless carping about it is not going to make people not like it, it's just going to make people sick of hearing about how you don't like it. Plus, Ms. Meyers is attractive enough I'm willing to give her a pass on writing bad books.

Every single one of those fans of this shit need to keep the fuck out of Dublin. Oh wait, you don't give a shit about Bloomsday. You don't care about what's happening here.

I'd actually go to that, if only for the novelty of meeting someone who read Ulysses all the way through. That, and the whiskey.

Actually, sparkly vampires are just to gay to be evil.

Yeah, but they're Mormons, so being gay just makes them even more evil than regular vampires.
