Points to Address - Letter to Smeyer

posted by DracoLuver

Hello everyone!

I'm planning on composição literária a letter to Stephenie Meyer regarding the Twilight series. I wanted to address all the points many people do not like in the series. The letter is going to be friendly and straight-forward. I wanted to hear what everyone would want me to include. These are a few of the topics I am going to be including:

- Anti-feminism
- Abusive relationship
- Unhealthy obsession
- Lust does not equal amor
- Bella is horribly rude to her friends (not valued friendships)

These are just a few. Please add anything and if there is something specific you'd like me to add.

I'll be working on this letter and posting on Sunday on Fanpop, so I can add anything else and have your approval and then I will send it to her.
I understand that Seth probably won't let it get to her, but it's worth a shot and I will post his reply (assuming he does reply.)

Thank you! :)

forksandspoons um excuse me but if u dont like the twilight series why r u obsessing so much over trying to send a letter to the author i mean come on. just drop it n stop wasting ur time trying to do something that is pretty much worthless. she already wrote the books its not like she going to take all of the books she sold back just so she can fix them to meet YOUR standers. i mean its just not kool.

DracoLuver I'm not obsessing over it. I never said I was. Stephenie doesn't understand the fact that MANY people don't like her books. She always shrugs off the questions and compares herself to Shakespeare. I just wanted to write a letter to state my opinion. I know she wrote the books and I do not expect her to take them back, I would like to explain WHY she gets so much hate-mail and how she can improve her writing. She doesn't have to meet just my standards. Many people would agree with me, including English professors. If you have a problem with me writing a letter, then don't comment. My question wasn't directed to Twilight fans.

Bellatrix-Black It won't get through to her anyways, her brother screens her emails and doesn't let criticism through.

DracoLuver ^ I know it might not, but it's worth a shot. I'd like to see his reply too.

PotterForever It's a very good idea, but she refuses to accept critisizim, it's not going to get passed her brother. Also, don't forget to include the massive plot holes (Renessmee, or however you spell it) And the repetietive dialouge, (endless descriptions of Edward's beauty) The lack of sacrafice, and overly contrived happy ending. The books are very flawed, and Smeyer refuses to accept her flaws, has she actually compared herself to Shakespeare? Wow, I never heard that. So yeah, send it, but don't expect her to actually see it.

DracoLuver ^ Okay, thank you. Sadly, she has compared herself to Shakespeare and in one interview she stated that Twilight may be better than Romeo and Juliet. One fan tried convincing me that it was [i]Shakespeare[/i] who copied off of her.

Kylie90210 ^ No... You are kidding me right?! This is why I hate Twilight... Those kids have no clue. Great idea, I have nothing to contribute, but best of luck!

DracoLuver ^ Thank you! And, yes. I mentioned the fact that he's ALREADY DEAD! She didn't believe me though, so whatever.

Bellatrix-Black She didn't believe you? New levels of idiocy have been achieved.

DracoLuver ^ Tell me about it! lol I worry for humanity. What annoys me more is when they say, "But I'm only [enter age number here]! You can't expect me to know!"

GemonkDruid Don't forget the sparkly vampires. ;D

Bellatrix-Black But I'm only 15! You can't expect me to know anything about good literature! *cough* I dunno...I was forced to read Shakespeare all through middle school and grade 9...

Herm-o-ninny Someone thought Shakespeare copied off SMeyer? That, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Including all of Luna's stuff. Oh, and in the letter, don't forget to include how Bella is a necrophiliac and how Jacob is a pedophile. Maybe she won't read it, but someone will. Now that I think about it, DOES she know how to read? :/

PotterForever LMFAO! Someone really thought Shakespeare copied off Meyer? Is it even possible to lack that much intelligence? But I'm only (insert age number here) is a stupid thing to say, you don't have to be an adult to know Shakespeare died several hundred years ago, so unless he had a time machine, I don't see how he could've copied smeyer. Good luck with the letter, I hope she sees it (but she probably won't)

GemonkDruid Maybe he did. Maybe Shakespeare also rode on a unicorn and pooped rainbows too.

DracoLuver Haha. One of them was like, "I'm only 13! I don't know anything about Shakespeare! Plus, Harry Potter is HARD to read!" Me: "Um, you do know I'm 13 too and I'm reading LOTR." And then she said I was lying and all this other stuff Thanks for all the ideas and good luck's. It's worth a shot. I will post the letter hopefully by Sunday and next week I'll post the reply I got (If I recieved one.) I was reading an article about how someone sent a letter to her and her brother responded very rudely, accusing them of being biased and untalented in writing. *sigh* - He feeds her ago.

KishuandIchigo ^^A minute before I read that I was typing "Unicors are" into google. @DracoLuver Sounds cool! I hope she reads it, even if Seth goes through the emails.

DracoLuver ^ I hope so too. I'm pretty sure Seth will reply though, but not kindly.

One reason why Harry Potter is better than Twilight.

posted by acciokelsey

"This kiss between Hermione and Ron is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not Twilight, you know; we're not selling sex." - Emma Watson

If you think Emma Watson is stupid for quoting this, you are outta your mind. You think Twilight's not selling sex? Irony. Irony how some twi-hards reason out "BECAUSE EDWARD CULLEN IS SO SEXY!!!" if asked why Twilight is better than Harry Potter.

For me, Twilight is just popular 'cause it has sex appeal. Wait for several years, no one will be talking about Twilight anymore.. Harry Potter won't be talked about that much but it will never be forgotten.In my case, I know Harry Potter will be a future classic.

Twilight fãs go ahead and attack me, whenever you're ready.

This artigo isn't mine, this is just an artigo I found on cracked.com (one of the best sites ever!). I agree with most of it, and on that note remember this is opion based, not fact. This is...*drumroll* if you don't hate Twilight already, why you SHOULD hate Twilight!

Harry Potter vs Twilight- my opinion

posted by LoopyLuna96

Obviously, this spot is about debating Harry Potter and Twilight, and I realised I've never written an article, so I decided to put down all my reasons for Harry Potter being better than Twilight.

Firstly, the 'love' in Twilight is not love. It is over powered lust. To my memory, Edwrad and Bella never have a conversation about from who loves the other more. Edward likes Bella because she smells good, Bella likes Edward because he's 'handsome' (which can't even be proven, he's a book character, we never see him).

The amor in Harry Potter is shown as an amazing, all powerful thing that can sace...

The Final Battle: Part 2

Harry woke up the seguinte morning with a feeling as though there was a heavy block in his stomach. He got ready and dressed and went downstairs. Ginny was already at the table, waiting for him. She smiled nervously at him, and he said to her ‘Don’t worry; compared to what we’ve been through, this is practice.’
Ginny laughed, and Harry felt pleased. They got their children ready, and dropped them off at the wizard dia care, as every adult wizard would be in the battle.
Harry and Ginny apparated with Ron and Hermione to the Cullen backyard, where the battle would commence. When they got...

Good Morning Voldemort!

'Good Morning Voldemort' - The HP Version on 'Good Morning Baltimore', from the Musical, Hairspray.

Oh, oh, oh
Woke up today
Feeling the way i always do
Oh, oh, oh
Hungry for Magic
That i can't eat
Then i hear that beat
That rhythm of Voldie
Starts calling me down
It's like a message from
High above
Oh, oh, oh
Pulling me out
To the smiles and the
Streets that i love

Good morning Voldemort!
Every day's like an evil encore
Every night is a fantasy
Every sound's like a death to me!

Good morning Voldemort!
And some dia when i take to the floor
The world's gonna wake up and see
Voldemort and me!

Oh, oh, oh
Look at my wand...

Why Harry Potter is better.

posted by MissKnowItAll

I have read a lot of artigos etc like this, but I thought I would write m own views down.

One thing I have heard about Twilight being better is that SMeyer is a better writer. I ask you, how on earth is SMeyer a better writer.

Take this sentence from New Moon:

'Suddenly, it(the bike) looked intimidating, frightening, as I realised I would soon be astride it.'

How does that flow as a sentence? It has two separate realisations together in one sentence. I found it awkward to read.

SMeyer doesn’t make us connect with her characters. She doesn’t describe their feeling well at all. She is not a good...

Confessions of a Twilight-Loving Harry Potter fã

posted by squashedcupcake

I'll admit, I have a pretty diverse bookshelf. I have the Harry Potter Complete Series box set seguinte to my Twilight books. People who burn/flame either book are either A. extraordinarily biased or B. have a legitimate reason and may actually have something intelligent to say. To find out what people thought, I decided to ask people who surrounded me at school what their opinions were. If you're interested, read on...

I took a survey of my fellow female students to see what they thought at my middle school (what possessed me to do so, I cannot say), and many of the respostas I heard were something...

vampiros vs Wizards Which I Would Rather Be

posted by Kersian

So I surfing the web when I ran into one of the pages from this site. It was a pergunta asking which would you rather be, a vampire or a wizard? I immediately answered wizard and I added 3 quick reasons why. That was several months atrás and now I wondered if my answer was reasonable enough. I also read other people's reason and I admit some of them sounded very childish and naive.

Now I will start por defining the two por their origins. vampiros and wizards, because that was the question. Not Twilight vampiros or HP Wizards, but since that pesquisa was under those topics I'm guessing I will talk...

HP vs TWILIGHT(??)

posted by roobiip

My pergunta is Is anyone alse tired of this "HP vs Twilight" things??
Because it is driving me crazy..

First of all I need to say I amor THEM BOTH so much!! I think HP was extremely original I grew up with it and I looove it.. and Twilight is so romantic, I mean, could they be mais crazy about each other?? (NOPE!!), and I looove it too!! (L) =]

However one thing is true:
Most twilight fãs ARE crazy, annoying, funny, scary, etc.. being one I talked to many and some were really funny (they actually believed they were going to marry Edward) and others really scared me (because I loved HP too they...

Harry and his friend entered the hotel in high spirits. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny were already there, and one look told them they had been very worried. Ginny glanced at Harry’s wide smile and the newcomer, and said, very icily, “Who is she?” to Harry.
Harry grinned even wider, and J K smiled. “This, Ginny, is the one and only J K Rowling!” He saw their looks of astonishment. “You know,” he added, “she wrote our books!”
“Oh,” said Ginny, sounding rather relieved. Ron laughed.
Hermione looked surprised, but knowing as to why he had brought J K.

Luna looked back and shouted, “EXPELLIARMUS!”
The Death Eater’s wand flew out of his hand.
“Nice shot!” Neville said, looking at her impressed. Luna beamed brightly, as the two continued to run. They both slowed as they neared a room filled with smoke. Neville ran in first and Luna followed close behind. They heard shouts coming from every direction.
“CRUCIO!” There was a scream of agony.
“STUPEFY!”
“AVADA KEDAVRA!”
The last spell seemed closer and both ducked at the same time. They heard a thud as a body hit the floor. Luna ran over there, despite the spells flying everywhere....

Stop the Hate

posted by potterrox

People are passionate about defending their books that they love. I know that and I’ve done it. What’s really disturbing is when the users of fanpop use this site to bring people down or just to openly hate.

Harry Potter and Twilight are going to be compared. No other two books have the same rabid following and they both have strong roots in the supernatural. I welcome debate and exchanging of opinions, when it’s friendly. Some of the comments I’ve seen on these forums could not be called friendly debate. It just makes me sick when I know that there are people out there that are willing...
