Need Twilight Fan help with a school paper!

[ccryder85]

Hi guys, I have come to ask for your help with a school paper I am writing. I am in a college nonfiction writing class and need to write a trend story on the popularization and sexualization of vampires in modern media. I figured there was nowhere better to go for help than to the Twilight fans themselves ;). What I need are quotes from real fans, perhaps explaining why the books/movies are so addicting. What is it about vampires that makes them interesting? Is it even about the vampires? Do you think vampires have become less of a "feared monster" and more appealing? Obviously, Edward isn't much like Dracula anymore. Any help or input you guys could give me would be great. I'll confess, I haven't actually read the books or seen the movies, but you guys just might convince me to check them out. Tell me WHY they are so awesome.

Thanks in advance!
