But they don't sparkle
they burn

Ah, the 'real vampires don't sparkle' problem, then.

With regards to shining, I quite liked the troll poem from Thud about Mr Shine. And I am not sure whether the thought that Mr Shine = Edward Cullen scares or amuses me.

Wouldn't changing your journal name be a surrender to the hordes of Twilight readers? It's probably best just to ignore their existence and anything they might say.

Can we keep all extremely disturbing poems behind LJ cuts please? Like the heat hasn't been enough to stop me sleeping.
