Dan Brown vs. Twilight lady. Who is best at butchering the English language and then making a bajillion dollars off of it?

or rather

Who is at the top of all English teacher's hit list.

They're both on my personal vendetta list. Behind someone in particular I won't mention by name.

But, because of -crap- like that, and the mindless audiences that masturbate with it, I have no hope of ever becoming a novelist. My four years at UMass for creative writing are a complete waste because of literary atrocities like Twilight.

AND. I speak from actually sincerely trying to read the first book. I couldn't make it through 50 pages without wanting to kill myself. I understand the genre and the target market. I do. But, it doesn't change that the woman is a HORRIFIC writer and shouldn't have been published in the first place. Have fun trying to sleep at night, Stephenie Meyer. You fucking bitch who can't even spell her first name right. You've ruined the written word for real writers forever.

I never had too much of a problem with Dan Brown, as I never bothered to read any of his work, but I still think cashing in on a religious controversy is a cop out for someone who can't really write his own stories.

Ugh.
