Twilight Author Bored With Vampires

[Yeager942]

My cousin pressured my into reading The Host, another book from Stephenie Meyer. It's about an intergalactic race of "body snatchers" or parasites, and it was actually pretty interesting until the romantic sub plot came along. I think her books will be decent if she strays away from the shoddily written romantic sections.

 

[CrashBang]

That's odd considering she's never actually written about vampires.

Hahaha made me LOL. Brilliant, never have I heard a truer statement

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

That's odd considering she's never actually written about vampires.

ninja'd. also-i love you.

but, on-topic: why is this news? news, to me, seems like it should be about something happening, not about something not happening. and the less that "something" is related to stephanie meyer, the happier i am.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Good. Get her away from the damned Vampires. They've been ruined enough.

...Wait...
Oh no, please don't go anywhere else either! She doesn't need to ruing anything else...

 

[Tom Phoenix]

She wrote about vampire before? I could have sworn her characters had nothing to do with the established vampire cannon, and were more heavily associated with such genres as "teen magazine" and "future stars of GQ".

Before I say anything else, I would like to make it clear that I strongly dislike Twilight. While I didn't read any of the books, I saw parts of the movie and what I saw made me shiver in utter disgust.

Having said that, I never really understood the criticism that "it violates established vampire cannon". Writers aren't under any obligation to follow how certain creatures were potrayed in past works. While established cannon can serve as a guideline, the author has complete freedom how any beings in his/her universe are depicted. If Meyer describes vampires as beings that glitter in the sunlight, then that is how they are potrayed in the Twilight universe.

Simply put, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to potray a fictional race/creature. How they are potrayed in certain universes is in complete jurisdiction of the author.

EDIT: And this is related:

She's bored with vampires because she made them boring.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Good. Now she needs to retire from writing forever and retcon the Twilight series out of existance. Then I will dance on the roof wearig only a tea cozy, that's how happy I'd be!

However, if she does continue writing, she is NOT permitted to touch Ninjas, Pirates, Aliens, Robots, Zombies, Monkeys, or Cat Girls. If she does...*sharpens sword*

There were vampires in Twilight? Wow, I must have missed them over all the sparkle-fairies.

WINNING COMMENT!

Spoiler: For you good sir

 

[Turbo_Destructor]

Ah so now she has destroyed all the badassness and dignity vampires had, she's bored and wants to move on to the next soon-to-be homofied mythological creature.

 

[Poofs]

shes not finishing Midnight Sun?
dammit
i was looking forward to that
the Twilight series is a guilty pleasure of mine

also, to many of the haters, did you even read the book?

 

[RatRace123]

Maybe she actually stopped and read her own literary abortions, or she watched True Blood or Vampire Diaries, or she saw one of the countless other "modern" vampire movies.

OK, I actually agree with Meyer, I'm bored with Vampires too.

 

[Trogdor1138]

It was such a chore to write a "new" novel about rehashing events from a five year old book and writing about 2% new content? She didn't see her boredom coming from that?

She was pretty much the last person to get tired of her "vampires" and I hope for humanitys sake she stops.

 

[Weaver]

If she wants to write other books she could always use a different pen name. I don't see why she needs to ***** and whine about it. Just wrap up the twilight series, get a new pen name and write the next book you want to.

 

[Manicotti]

Time to go ruin werewolves and ninjas!

she already half screwed werewolves.

You might even say...

Spoiler: *dark sunglasses*

She screwed the pooch?

 

[Bat Vader]

It seems difficult to be burned out on writing about vampires when she technically did not write about vampires. They are more like super-humans with a taste for blood. If the thought of writing about it bores her than she should think about all the money she will make instead when it gets published.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

It only makes sense... I mean, when all you're known for is vampires I'm pretty sure that you would get tired of them after a while. I'm sure Michael Cera is bored of playing an awkward teenager...

 

[Phantomess]

Pirates. She's going to hit pirates.

No... please God, no... don't let her take the pirates away!

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

Okay, they've ruined vampires. On to space marines!

Oh, no, that was Halo, and the Doom movie.
[small]I'm not completely serious on the Halo comment, definitely Doom though.[/small]

OT:
I want to make some hilarious joke here about how it(Twilight) sucks so bad that the author can't even stand it, but I can honestly feel the pain of when you just burn out on something to write on, even when you are expected for that particular thing. Also, I can't get the punchline right. I guess the vampires really DO suck!

 

[ZehGeek]

Okay, they've ruined vampires. On to space marines!

I just smell that one South Park episode, where like Lucas and Spelilburg remake all there movies and make them crap. Insted, it's just a women who struck lucky because of all the idiotic teenage girls and middle age housewives without a love interest and trying to ACT like there 12 again cought on it, and now wants to try and keep that success by screwing something else up.In the south park case, "remaking" it.

 

[Kaez]

Sorry, there is 5 books out.... if you count The Short Second life of Bree Tanner XD

And I only know that becuase it's on sale in my store that i work at XD

 

[Kyman102]

oh the irony! I bet shes going to write about dragons next........

'Miranda gazed lovingly into Darconius' eye, the orb shimmering like a massive emerald of unparalleled brilliance. Her hand ran along the beast's scaly hide, her gaze drawn into the infinite fascinating depths of his burning gaze. "I know we only met when my father abandoned me to be the virgin sacrifice... But now I never want to leave you."

Darconius' frame shuddered with a massive sigh, the lean, statuesque form shifting under her touch, his scales outshining the golden coins he stretched across. "Do you know why I picked you as the sacrifice? Because I saw real life in your eyes. You humans have an understanding of how to life... We dragons lack that. The greatest thing I desire, is mortality."

Ugh, I actually felt a little dirty writing that... Dragons rarely, if ever, work in a romantic setting as one of those doing the romance.
