Thank fuck for that. Finally she has her own excuse not to write anymore Twilight. But what's next? Here's a list of possible new topics: Mummies, Zombies, Pirates, Ninjas, Sea Monsters, Mermaids/mermen, centaurs, space marines.
It ain't over till the sparkly Edward sings.
And now I have to shoot myself, for suggesting a musical. Damn you, 6 hours on the beach.

this is the best thing ever said about twilight vampires -
they don't drink blood, they shine in the sun and they fly, they're not vampires they're fairy's!

Trust me, she's already written other stuff and it is boring as hell! The host is a boring piece of shit that I couldn't even finish. My sister (Huge Meyer fan) told me it gets better 20 chapters in, but to quote Yahtzee: "you know that's not a point in its favor right?"
Not that I'm defending her, but I suppose it must suck that you come up with a new (If boring) idea, and then everyone else jumps on the bandwaggon, thus causing everyone not swept up by angsty undead into hating her and her characters.
While it may still be shit, if she came up with an idea that's about love, or the undead, then it could be fairly interesting

Well, if she turns to something that isn't cynically manufactured to sell to teenage girls I don't see her career lasting very long. I find it interesting (i.e. stupid) she's citing vampires as being the problem, despite decades of great vampire fiction, rather than her own inability to write about anything that isn't her sockpuppet fantasy. She'll be back into Twilight soon enough, it might be rebranded with some other kind of fantasy, but it will still be Twilight. Such is the curse of the terrible author.
Okay... let's not get ahead of ourselves.
A while back i tried to make it through the first book. everybody had told me it was a complete trashing of the vampire mythos (and it tottaly was). I got about 60 pages into that gorram thing and i could already feel my brain rotting
first off.
Seduction has ALWAYS been a part of Vampire lore. this is why vampires are so closly tied to sex .Most of the darker vampire stuff involves a vampire charming a girl taking her home and getting busy before sucking her blood and killing(or turing her)
So vampires being charming, ladys men was around way before Myers vommited all over it
and
reworking mythos is what keeps It so intresting. Vampires have been reworked in alot of ways(probably more then any other Mythological crature)
Let's Say you are putting a vampire in the book you are writting
is your vampire undead, or still alive. does he turn to into one bat, or alot of bats, or no bats at all. does he slowly die slowly in the sun, or does he burn up instantly. hell some even just simply become weaker in the son.
Why do they suck blood. do they have some sort of anemic condition where they lack iron, or are they actually just sucking the "life force"
I could go on and on
want me to run through the checklist of things that may or may not kill/harm your vampire(if anything).
I guess my point is we can't hate on her for trying to change vampires. all though myers was a dead shitty end. could you imagine how bored we would all be of vampires if they were still like dracula.
Now onto what we can hate. her boring ploting, her boring, flat, static characters. Her terrible detailing... Etc. I hate these books just as much as any of you. this book especially has made other lonely female authors start rushing out more of the same. I really wish they were not in exsitence

Boom.
my wife informs me that she has written a novel called "The Host", which is about alien symbyotes that are infiltrating our planet. Kinda boring.
