HEY HEY YOU YOU
she doesn't think you're worth it

We here at forks_it have, over the course of our existence, mentioned the various ways the Twilight Fandom has broken the law. Basically, this fandom rules at illegally downloading music and reading chapters of something that does not belong to us.

We told you guys to learn the rules of the games and play by them, but you just didn’t want to listen, did you?

No, and now, Stephenie Meyer is bringing out the vampire fangs and giving you the punishment. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you that if you were a good child the rest of the afternoon, you’d get an extra dip of ice cream in your bowl? Remember?

And then remember when that poor homeless digging through dumpsters came up to you, asking for some of “yo money,” and before you had the chance to say “I AM NOT ALLOWED TO TALK TO YOU,” your mom came up and scolded you for talking to strangers, thereby not only taking away that extra dip of ice cream, but taking away the whole thing altogether (that’s right, not even sprinkles!!).

This is your punishment. No more sparkles for the fans. You’re getting something that is “messy and flawed and full of mistakes” and no extra dips. All because a harmless homeless man had the nerve to tota-----Erm. I mean, because, ~an unknown~ decided to leak 12 chapters of an eagerly anticipated book.

So who wins? Meyer gets violated as an author AND as a human being by the leak, and yet the fandom gets violated as readers AND as human beings by losing all their hopes and dreams.

Who knows. Maybe the fandom will do enough groveling and petition signing that Meyer will forget all about mermaids and ghosts and souls and unicorns or whatever the hell she wants to write about.

....Or maybe the next epic soulmate love story will be about a mermaid and a unicorn, and we'll live through the angst of their unorthadoxed romance. YAY.
