That cookie dough one was a thing of beauty and wonder!!!

ooh which sentence is the most offensive??

"On the other hand, Bella reads and sounds a lot like a genuine teenage girl: she eats pop tarts and
is relieved when her teachers show videos in class."

My copy editor was very easily to offend, I think. ;)

*headtilt* I wanted to leave a comment asking this, but I see it has been answered already! I'm a little perplexed as to why that was so offensive. I read the article first, going 'that must be the offensive sentence! Oh wait, Bella's spine being broken is canon.'

Interesting article!! I have to admit, surface comparisons between Buffy and Bella tend to get my back up, but your take was insightful and definitely not surface level.

Strangely enough, the only question about Twilight canon was "double-check the c-section by fang and supply a page reference"--I'm like, Oh, like THAT's the most unbelievable thing there!!

I have to say, I'm one of those people who have all sorts of issues with Twilight, but I really, really liked the point of view you brought with the Buffy/Bella comparison. I liked that the article wasn't cheering in one corner and scoffing at the other and that the entire point was to LOOK at these characters as women who make choices.

So, uh, this is me? Cheering like whoa.

Eeee, thank you! This is indeed very much what I wanted! I will have to write your library sometime when my thought processes aren't being pulverized by a screaming little child. *wry grin*

*G* *makes faces to entertain bb*

Btw if you don't want me to know your personal info or something, you can go to the Contact page of my library and contact one of my coworkers instead. :)
