You just touched all my "aarrggh!" buttons, too. Can I add vampires to the list? I fracking can't stand vampires.

[gehayi]

Definitely. I can't stand vampires as romantic leads. I'm capable of enjoying them if they're in horror or if they're secondary characters. I like Thomas Raith from the Dresden Files, but he's a smart-ass secondary character who actually gets up off his rear end and does something...usually while driving Harry nuts in the process. He's not the angsty broody melodramatic tragic type--which desperately needs to be killed with fire.

I went into Forbidden Planet in London a couple of weeks ago, and was horrified by just how many angsty vampire type books there were out there. I just stared at one rack that must have had at least fifteen vampire books there. I mean, WTF?!

So, yeah I'll add vampires to the list.

Emo love-interest vampires need to die in a vat of molten silver. I am looking at STRAIGHT at you, Edward "Stalker" Cullen.

I hate Edward Cullen and his canon with the fire of ten thousand suns. He should be the first to die for convincing a generation of girls that obsessive control of another person, emotional abuse and stalking are signs of Twu Wuv. And he should be dumped in that vat headfirst.
