Ye Gods, the flirting bit. *gags*

This story is probably the worst one she has ever written, I swear to God. None of it jives with canon, it's completely messes up the time line, none of the characters are likable--NONE--the "romance" is even worse than Edward/Bella or even Jacob/Renesmee, the writing is probably some of the worst I've ever seen Meyer spit out....IT'S JUST SHIT.

And I sent you a PM. *shifty look*

Oh man, tell me about it! Any chance at all that it had to be decent was completely marred by how utterly unlikable the characters are. We already know that they're all going to die, so there's no reason to care. And Meyer basically promised A Day In The Life Of A Newborn while delivering Twilight - The Poor Man's Version. Gah!

Y HALLO THAR, BELLA 0.2.

I hate this little bitch. I'm so glad she gets tortured.

I know. Way to make your characters sympathetic, Meyer.

It's just that whenever Meyer tries to "develop" her characters more and concentrate more on them, she ends up worsening them. Alice? Got turned into a shallow, materialistic, spoiled brat. Jacob? Got turned into a selfish, overbearing, abusive jerk. Rosalie? Got turned into a petty housewife obsessed with babies. Even Jasper got shafted. Originally he was the guy who, while not having much personality in the first book, at least was the most convincing out of all the Cullens in terms of their struggle with their blood-lust. And yet in the third book, Meyer turned him into a jerk who was all gung-ho about killing newborns and who wouldn't let Alice do anything ( ... )

You've got a point. That's probably why Freaky Fred gets off the best in this - he gets the least development.

To borrow a Troper's quote, everything she touches turns to shit. It's like the opposite of King Midas.

Oh dear, Meyer obviously lives in stupid stereotypes. Nerds follow the rules? Bah! I have a few computer nerd friends, and not all the things they do with those computers are entirely legal.
If she was really a 'vampire nerd' she would have done some actual research into why she was so different from all of the vampires in fiction.
Unless Meyer meant 'nerdy vampire', as in a vampire who is a nerd.

And I'm not even going to go into how oblivious humans are here. I know that a few horror and fantasy writers use the whole 'humans will block out anything too weird for the sake of their sanity', but in here, people are just dumb. Really dumb.
...
But Meyer is the dumbest one here.

Yeah, Meyer has no idea what it means to proclaim oneself as a nerd. Now if Bree really WAS a vampire nerd, that might be halfway interesting as she investigates her condition and tries to find ways to make life easier for herself. But she doesn't.

I know! At least in Harry Potter, most of the Death Eater attacks were disguised as freak weather accidents and the like. And even if Muggles did notice anything, they'd get their memories altered or erased. Here, NOTHING goes on! It's freaking annoying!

Meyer, I don't get it. How do you make ALL of your characters sociopathic? Maybe even psychopathic in some cases?!

Are you not human? Do you not feel emotions?! I stuff my feeling so I don't have to feel them and I'm STILL way more emotional then your stupid characters.

I can understand their stupidity. You are as dumb as a brick. But they are so....emotionless. There is no humanity, and I'm not talking about the vampires, I'm talking about Bella, she had no humanity. So, I don't think you do either, and you can't blame your sheltered life on that. Humanity isn't something to be taught.

*shivers* I'm just creeping myself out and making myself sick. Writers NEED to be highly emphathetic, even if their main character isn't. If they aren't then this happens *points to Twilight Series*.

I've actually started to wonder if Meyer has some disorder that makes her unable to recognize people's feelings about stuff. That might explain why she's so free about telling her husband that she'd dump him for fictional characters, or about how she strung three guys along in college.

Ha, I went and checked the DSM-IV-TR. This is quite funny ( ... )

O_o That...surprisingly explains a lot. Wow.

It's like an unsympathetic Harper Pitt.
