Twilight; Stephenie Meyer You may, if you’ve read this blog a while, remember that I read Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books a few months back. I found them quite okay, almost addictive, though I had a few problems with certain things (and I don’t actually quite understand why I liked them, but that’s another matter), and this I said in my reviews of them.

Now, I’m sure most of you have noticed that there are a lot of Twilight fans about, and that a lot of them take things very seriously. Most of them are rational creatures and perfectly fine with people disagreeing with them, or the cast of the film not corresponding exactly to the images in their heads, or whatever else might run contrary to their view of things. Then there are the rest, and a few days ago I had the joy of one of them commenting on my Twilight post. I’ve debated long and hard with myself if I should approve these comments or not, because they attack not only me, but some of the other people who commented on that post as well, but in the end I decided to go ahead and post them, because I figure most of you will appreciate the lol-factor (as they say) in this.

The commenter, who dubbed her(?)self Team Edward, left the following comments on this post. See if you can follow everything she’s saying, because I sure can’t!

    It amazes me that this girl is smart enough to read a book, or in the case of Twilight, three books ….yet she leaves comments that are—what’s the word? Stupid. (Smacks forehead) Didn’t she learn anything? Maybe she needs to read more than three books in her life. How old is she? Five? She’s got time.

    Oh Jesus, this is SO dumb! She needs to go back on her meds immediately!

    I’m thinking I should post about “Twilight” because I got about halfway through the first book and then tossed it across the room. I found it to be poorly written — redundant and childish, and Ms. Meyer’s grammer was often quite deplorable. I don’t care who is in the movie, either. God save us from rabid fans!

    lol I love that I’m as hate-worthy as Jacob Black. If I were an author, and I had fans who said things like this, it would be make me deeply sad. Oh, and Chartroose, even though I finished the first one, I have no plans to read the rest of the series, so I’m glad to see someone else who isn’t bowled over by the writing skills! :)
