I, SpeedyGonzalez did NOT write this. I just merely copyed and pasted it.

Ah, yes, Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series. My opinion of her, from the way that she has presented herself to the public in interviews and such, is that she is a whiny, self absorbed woman with the mind of a 13 ano old. She can't deal with criticism because it hurts her delicate little feelings, and believes that she is an amazing writer and that her story and characters are somehow superior to those seen in the works of people such as Jane Austen and William Shakespeare. Here's one statement that shows that she is both infantile and unable to handle criticism:

"I will state, for the record, that my queries truly sucked, and I don't blame anyone who sent me a rejection (I did get seven or eight of those. I still have them all, too). The only rejection that really hurt was from a small agent who actually read the first chapter before she dropped the axe on me. The meanest rejection I got came after Little, Brown had picked me up for a three-book deal, so it didn't bother me at all. I'll admit that I considered sending back a copy of that rejection stapled to the write-up my deal got in Publisher's Weekly, but I took the higher road."

You're a saint, Meyer. I amor the way that she says "meanest rejection." Did they say that the book was riddled with purple prose and Mary Sues and was a superficial piece of crap that promoted and glorified stalking and abusive relationships? Because that's not being mean; that's a fact. She sounds so childish there! "Oh, those big meanies, rejecting my book and criticising it as publishers have every right to do!" If you write a book and send it to a publisher, you are putting it out there to be judged. Getting negative feedback is to help you improve, not make you sit and whine about how mean they are. In all honesty, Meyer, look at your books and how they are written. That is not good composição literária and that is a fact. I'm sure that their "mean rejection" was just them giving an honest and truthful opinion.

Let's examine Meyer's narcissism and hypocrisy.

"I don't think my books qualify to be Oprah books. I think you have to take on bigger issues than Vampire/Werewolf amor to make her interested. I don't have any incest, adultery, spousal abuse, mental disease, molestation, anorexia, suicide, cutting, etc. Which is why I won't ever get the Printz award either."

Yes, Meyer, that's why you won't get any of those awards. Because they're about vampiros and werewolves. It's like she's trying to tell herself that she's completely worthy of these awards but won't get them because it's "fantasy." Somehow, she thinks she's deserving of these things. Also, Meyer, are you saying that none of those things are in your books? Incest? Well, not directly, but those step-siblings are married, and Meyer did say that the girls who get imprinted upon see the guy as a family member. Adultery? Bella cheated on Edward with Jacob in Eclipse, and Sam left Leah for her cousin. Spousal Abuse? Bella and Edward's relationship. Need I say more? If I do, too bad, I'm composição literária about that later. Mental Disease? Quite frankly, I am convinced that almost every character in this series possesses mental diseases. Molestation? Hmmm... Jacob forcing himself on Bella? Those poor children that are imprinted upon? Anorexia? Not really, because Bella is basically described as being not fat but not anorexic. Suicide? Uh, gee, New Moon, anyone? Bella doing crazy suicidal stunts to hear Edward's voice. That could also come under mental disease. Cutting? Not really, but Bella does get hurt pulling all of those suicidal stunts. I guess what I'm trying to say is: You will not win those awards, not because you don't have all of those themes, believe us, they're in there, but because you suck.

If that's not proof enough for you that Meyer is a self absorbed narcissist so up herself that she believes awards would be handed to her if only she wrote about the above issues, you should take a look at what she thinks of other much mais talented authors.

Tw Staff: leitura Twilight it came to me the story of Westley and Buttercup. Is Bella and Edward's amor True amor like theirs?

Stephenie: Actually Bella and Edward's amor story is better than them. When I was in college, I wrote a lot of papers from a feminine perspective (it's an easy way to write)

Ah, yes, the easy way out!

on the Princess Bride. Buttercup is an idiot

HOLY SHIT. No, you didn't. Also, this is coming from the person who has Bella as their narrator and protagonist.

and it doesn't bother anyone, all that matters is that she's beautiful,

Buttercup hated being beautiful. I don't think you read the book, Meyer, because the fact that Buttercup hates being beautiful is made very clear. She deliberately tries to make herself uglier and wants people to see her for her mind. She says this. A lot.

at the end she became a little mais smart, but the female characters are very weak in that story. Westley is Valente and smart and fights, Buttercup is just beautiful , it's her only thing, her brain means nothing, her personality means nothing to him, they have the kind of amor where they can't live without each other. It's not a great example to me,

Actually, Westley was the only one who loved Buttercup for her personality and not her beauty. That's one of the reasons that she loved him. Weak female characters with big, strapping men to rescue them WHERE HAVE I READ THAT BEFORE. It sure as hell wasn't in The Princess Bride.

I couldn't find one who was a really good comparison to me,

You're not narcissistic at all. *sarcasm*

I mean, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr.Darcy is pretty good, except you should think that if either one of them dies the other one will carry on bravely,

Well, what do you want them to do Meyer? Go all New Moon on everyone's asses? Mope around for months on end, ignoring the people who amor them and pulling crazy, suicidal and incredibly selfish stunts. This is how it works in real life, even if it is true love. You do carry on bravely because that's what they would have wanted and what else are you supposed to do?

and Romeo and Juliet were kind of idiots, they didn't know each other very well.

NO. WAI. That's the whole point. Shakespeare was being all satirical. Do you know that word, Meyer? SA-TI-RI-CAL. Yes, it's a big word, isn't it?

And Anne Of Green Gables and Gilbert Blythe, but they are much mais like Jacob and Bella, they're friends,they get on the nerves of each other a lot. I didn't find out yet a Bella and Edward amor story that really satisfied me that way.

She just fails at literature. She completely misunderstood the point of The Princess Bride and Romeo & Juliet. She misunderstood it so badly that I don't even think that she really read it. I think she sort of skimmed it then made up bits as she went along. It's like she thinks she's above these people. Goldman, Austen and Shakespeare were amazingly talented writers with wonderful characters. Austen, who lived in the time when wimmens were in the kitchen, had stronger female role modelos than Meyer. Meyer criticises things that are only problems in her books. And how egotistical must you be to think that your characters and "love" story are better than those of these amazing people. At least Shakespeare intended Romeo & Juliet to be a satire on teenage lust. Meyer makes it out to be srs bsns.

Now, let's see how Meyer reacts to being asked a pergunta that she doesn't like:

"The worst I can remember happened at my appearance in Toronto. A girl (who must have sat in line all dia to get the assento she had) asked during the Q&A how I could write such an antifeminist main character and if I wasn't ashamed of myself for letting young girls read my misogynist works. I don't get that. I mean, I've gotten that pergunta from reporters and seen it online various places, and I think I can defend myself ably. What I don't get is why you would come out to a signing for an author you hated, let alone stand out in the cold all dia to get in. People are odd."

Well, did you answer her question? It's a perfectly good question. She went through all of that trouble because she wanted to know why, and she wanted to hear it from you. How else was she supposed to get an answer to her question? Honestly, I think a lot of us haters would amor to meet Meyer and ask her why she has written the things that she has, and she's an awfully hard person to meet. It's not like we're going to get an answer from an email because of Seth deleting all of the criticism to help increase both of their already inflated egos. How dare you call the girl weird and imply that she is an idiot when all she wanted was a real explanation from you.

Meyer appears quite horrible at her book signings. Apparently all she says are things like "Thankyou" as she just assumes that people are praising her and can't be bothered listening to them. When she does listen, she gives an answer of one or two words. Compare this to Rowling who listens closely and responds appropriately with at least two coherent sentences. Rowling pwns this woman in so many ways.

Speaking of Rowling pwning Meyer...

What has Meyer done with her money? She has made tonnes of money. Rowling has given to many charities for the poor, children, cancer, and much more. The profits for her three companion books went to charities. Meyer has given to... uh... well... Oh, there's this woman with cancer that she's raising money to help! She has a project called "Save the Book Babe."

"One of my dear friends and mentors, Faith Hochhalter - a truly gifted book buyer who put together some of my most successful events - was recently diagnosed with breast cancer."

I'm not saying that the "book babe" Faith doesn't deserve this. I'm saying that it's nice to know that to get Meyer to lend you a hand with all her money and influence, you just have to be a close, personal friend whose helped her first. It's nice what you're doing for your friend, Meyer, but there are other people who need help just as much as she does, even more. I know that if I had as much money as you, I would have given to at least one charity, and if I were as famous, I would have promoted every damn charity that exists.

Another thing that I dislike about Meyer is that she really does appear to be in amor with her characters to the point where it is incredibly creepy. It's okay, as an author, to think of your characters as your children. You really shouldn't though, because they are supposed to be tools used to create your story. But, after all, you created them and they've been with you while you write all about them and their lives. But Meyer's just plain creepy about her characters. Here's what Robert Pattinson (Edward in the Twilight movies) has to say:

"...when I read [Twilight], it seemed like I was convinced Stephenie was convinced she was Bella and it was like it was a book that wasn't supposed to be published. It was like leitura her sexual fantasy, especially when she said it was based on a dream and it was like, 'Oh I've had this dream about this really sexy guy,' and she just writes this book about it. Some things about Edward are so specific, I was just convinced - I was like, 'This woman is mad. She's completely mad and she's in amor with her own fictional creation.'"

This is just one of the reasons why I amor you, Rob. Not only does he realise that Meyer just made her wet dream into a book and that Bella is a Mary Sue, but he also sees how weird she is when it comes to her characters. What? You aren't convinced that Meyer's in amor with the male characters that she dreamed up?

"I think one of the most frustrating things about my confident, self-assured husband is that he is not in the least bit threatened por my devotion to Edward and Jacob, though I have told him many times that if either one of them showed up at the door, I would leave without looking back. Pancho just grins and says, "You do that, Steph."

Nope, from the above Meyer quote, it's seguro to say she isn't in amor with them at all. It seems like Pancho (heh, nice nickname) is either indulging Meyer por treating her like she's a child whose saying that they'd run away to cadastrar-se the circus if the clowns came a-knocking, or he's just really hoping that they'll come and take this crazy woman away from him, preferably killing her. Sorry, Pancho, they're "vegetarian." Anyway, I believe it's the former. It sounds like he treats her the way Edward treats Bella - like the whiny little children that they act like. And who abandons their loving husband (he might not be, it would explain her wet dreams) and children for those two jerks?

Let's take a look at one last Meyer incident where she proves herself to be a fail. For Dia das bruxas 2008, author Lauren Myracle decided to challenge some fellow Young Adult writers to do something that scares them por Halloween.

Let it be known, on this 27th dia of October, 2008, that I challenge the following 13 authors to a Dia das bruxas Scare-A-Thon:

M.T. Anderson
azevinho, holly Black
Libba Bray
Meg Cabot
Cassandra Clare
Melissa De La Cruz
John Green
Shannon Hale
Maureen Johnson
Stephenie Meyer
Kirsten Miller
Sarah Mlynowski
Scott Westerfeld


Stephenie didn't participate. Why?

Lauren "received a very nice note from one of her peeps saying she's taking a well-deserved break from media and won't be able to participate in the dare."

Taking a well deserved break from the media? It was just a group of YA writers partaking in some Dia das bruxas fun. They would face a fear of theirs and post a video of it on their blog. Where is the media involved in this? It was just pointless fun! It gives me the impression that she thinks she's too good to do something like this, or that she's too much of a wimp. Both, actually, as evidence suggests that she is. Also the note was from "one of her peeps." She couldn't even be bothered to send the letter herself.

Thus concludes the first part of my explanation as to why Stephenie Meyer sucks. You don't really need a segundo part as I'm sure that you all hate her enough por now, but I'mma write it anyway. The segundo part will discuss her and Seth's attitude in relation to people, including fans, who have criticism for Breaking Dawn and her poor reaction to Midnight Sun being leaked.

I’ve seen articles, like bri-marie’s, comparing Bella, Twilight’s “heroine” to the girls and female role modelos of the Harry Potter books like Hermione and Ginny. I agree with them whole-heartedly and I am happy to follow in the footsteps of strong women from Harry Potter – like Ginny, who is fierce and pretty bad-ass and just no geral, global a strong female, and Hermione, who is studious and smart and witty and the boys often rely on her skills and “genius.” Because let’s face it – and Ron says it himself – where would they be without Hermione?
So I wanted to make my own because...

"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!

Enjoy, and no getting pissy (that's right I'm talking to YOU Twilight fã girls) if you're going to post, DON'T POST unless you write something I can understand. For example, THIS is something I can't understand:
omg liek edward iz liek sooo hawt an like sexxii an liek OMG umminess an u hateur iz liek tttly stoopid an homo an--
It's hurts too much to even finish the example! Anyway, again no haters and enjoy!
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...

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...

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...

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...

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....

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...
