Twilight, anyone?

[Rusvul]

Aside from its incorrect vampires, (They stray from the path of the D&D 2.5 Monster Manual) I have nothing against Twilight. I mean, it's really  not my thing. But I don't hate it.

A thing to keep in mind- Working theories (or theories close to them) can be changed fairly easily- Discover something that works better and it's your new best theory. Objectivity is key with that sort of thing. With something like a book, it is nearly impossible to change someone's subjective opinion of it- especially over the internet.

Meh, the story and book seem inseparable, a much more realistic look at the problems with a human/vampire relationship would be Simon and Izzy from the Mortal Instruments, most of the romances in that series are great though.

I think I come off too harshly, I'm just as likely to pick up Twilight as I am to pick up Lola and the Boy Next Door, that is to say not at all because, once again, romance as a genre isn't my thing.

Also, I'm not bashing the Twilight fandom, I'm bashing the books/films themselves, the fandom is the group of people who are fans of the books

Okay. Let me me rephrase that. Why is it necessary to bash the books and films? Say you don't like it, then move along and get on with your life! It takes up that much less of your time.

You and your D&D. *Smiles and shakes head*

Okay, okay. I'll keep it in mind, I just wanted to ask why it's so necessary to bash Twilight. As I said before - Say you don't like it, then move along and get on with your life. It takes up that much less of your time.  And I really that people will take other people's opinions of something and make them their own with out even reading (in this case) the books! You give away that much more of your control. And I'm shutting up now before I sound too much like my dad's ranting!

I don't like it. *moving on with life*

[Cornflower MM]

Thank you. See? It's easy!

[Rusvul]

Oh my god.

I'm an idiot.

I said 2.5. I meant 3.5. I play 3.5, not 2.5.


Though to be fair, I don't think vampires in 2.5 sparkle either... They probably just die.


I am ambivalent about Twilight. *Moves on with life.*

Well, uh, that's okay.  And thanks.

Shiny  vampires, just no,  though it's creative, why in the name of Salamandastron here?! I'm moving on, if you see me lurking about in this topic, I'm just reading what happens here. *Disappears into shadows*

[Cornflower MM]

At least you admit it was creative!

[Jetthebinturong]

I also admit it was creative but, in my opinion, it was the wrong kind of creative. It is my firm belief that you can't just mess around with the lore of a prominent mythical creature just to suit your purposes. I would have created a new species, Meyer should have too

[Cornflower MM]

Thank you, Jet. Now, have I succeeded in trying to at least muddle through everyone's issues with Twilight?
