Projection Room Voices: Ready to start again after your break?

ZeldaQueen: Yes, my "break", in which you forced me to spork another of Halcyon's nudist Mary Sue fics.

Projection Room Voices: It still counts.

"Ugh, now I'm reminded of another annoying trend in Meyer's work. Not only is family seen as petty and disposable, but so is friendship. Bella completely ditches her friends the moment that she marries Edward. In Cassandra Claire's "Mortal Instruments" trilogy, the protagonist, Clary, constantly fails to stand up for her best friend, Simon, whenever her love interest, Jace, belittles him - even when he does it right in front of her! Simon is supposed to be her best friend, yet Clary utters not a peep of protest (or, when she does, it's temporary and half-hearted) whenever Jace or his buddies insult him."

Also brings "Rose Potter" to mind. Oh but hey - I've never read Cassandra Claire's work, but didn't Meyer say she was a fan? Might explain a lot.

It's hard to say. I've sporked the rants of a woman who seems certain that EVERY white man in existence is a rapist with no redeeming characteristics. People can get pretty weird. Or, it could have just been that Meyer never had any good experiences in particular with blonds. Or she's just really sucky with Take That's.
