Perhaps you should read a book about that, instead of Twilight, a book not about that.
The whole "It should be about something else" argument is beyond ridiculous.
Instead of wanting books to be about something else, why not just read a book about what you want?
Perhaps I should. But I didn't. I picked Twilight off the shelf, not another book. And with every book I read, I think of the 'what ifs' because I like to visualize how the plot line would change under different circumstances.
It makes absolutely no sense to blame a book for not being about something you wanted to read.
It's like me blaming JK Rowling because I wanted to read about evil dark lord children raised by good heated adults taking over the world, being stopped by friendly teachers.
Instead I got a book about kids saving the world.
Harry Potter totally sucks because it's about something I didn't want to read, right?
I have no idea if a book like that exists. Besides, I wanted to read Twilight. I was crazy about it when I was eleven.
And I'm not blaming the book for anything. I'm stating that sometimes I think I would have hoped for the plot to make a different turn and that I might have enjoyed the other version better.
(Side-note) Did you want Harry Potter to be like that?
Nah, mix it up a little. that's be idiotic, why would Bella fall all over a guy with red lips, a widows peak, a hunched back, dressed in a cloak all the time?
To be honest, I find it rather ridiculous when people say there's one form and one form only of writing fictional species. You can vary the rules as much as you like! Varying the rules actually uses more imagination than simply sticking to rules you've read about in other stories.

No it doesn't, that's not what I'm trying to say.
