This has been bugging me for weeks now.
what the hell has happened to the Twilight fandom?

In only one year the whole thing turned from a following into a cult :/

Let's recap shall we?

I totally understand what you're saying. But I have to admit, I became a fan after the movie was anounced to come out. I live in Belgium and I didn't know the books, they didn't even come out here before about 6-7 months ago. And I got familiar with Twilight because Paramore was doing two songs on the soundtrack for the movie. And I was like, let's google it. And I read the summary of the books and I really loved the story. So about two weeks before I went to see the movie, I ordered the 4 books. Since I had no idea they were here too. And I dragged my two best friends into this and now they all ordered the books (before we went to see the movie). A week ago I discovered there were Dutch versions of the books in stores. It was sold out EVERYWHERE I finally found one, the first one, the movie edition, which is the exact same story only with movie poster as cover.

So I totally understand about what you're saying about people loving Twilight just because it's a... hype. But not everyone is like that. Here in Belgium, I don't think that anyone besides me and my friends really knew Twilight before the movie came out and I don't think that most people know Twilight is a book. I finished the first book in two days and I completely loved it. Since I read the book after the movie, I think that relationship between Bella and Edward is better than in the movie. I mean, you can see it developping way more. I'm still waiting for my English books to arrive, though. Can't wait for it. And I thought the movie was good though, I think that Spunk did a great job playing Edward.

yes I've heard this from a lot of people.
I mean I became a fan of Supernatural WAY after all the hardcore fans and I still have that same love for it.

I bought the first book in Italy (SUCH A GEEK!) and I can kind of understand most of it (helped largely by the fact that I've read Twilight twice now)
It's great that the books are now globally available, that means more
fans and hopefully more fanrt!
Wasn't too sure about Rob (spunk lol) playing Edward at first but
the sneak previews released way back when were pretty cool.
Overall the film wasn't bad at all :)
