Actually I'd rate it like this:thatsmystapler said:LOL
Well I guess the book appeals to young teenage girls.
Haha wait til the movie comes out that would be worse than fanfics and the series combined.
Fan fiction is literally that, fan's writing fiction by taking the characters/storyline/ideas of a book/game/tv show/movie.theshortykatt said:hmm.. i think im getting what u guys are talking bout..
is fan fic where other people write more story lines/books??
It's a free internetz. I can say what I want.lisajf said:omg tulipa seriously why bother posting "And I thought it couldn't get worse..." that in the first place?? do you search around just so you can say negative things on forums...why come on this forum if you think the series is shit. no one cares you dont like it and no one cares that you dont like fan fic. just like no one cares that someone likes it. it means nothing to me either way.
Sure.theshortykatt said:is there a sight with some good fan fic i can look at then?
-to prove that is isnt crap?

Hahaha.Sammiesunshine said:no really more along the lines of overly opinionated and pompous to be brutally HONEST
Depends on what you're interested in.theshortykatt said:what are some decent fiction novels to read??
see thing is there i read alot and widely and yeah anne rice is good i like reading her books and i have an wntire bookcase of vamp fiction but it seems like you dislike twilight not so much for the story as for the fact that it became popular. BUT guess what not everyone read it because it was a craze or because it got on a bestseller list. I imported mine from the states before it came out here and i liked it because it had original ideas unlike ALOT of vamp fiction which is mostly unoriginal and unimpressive there are much worse stories out there than this.Tulipa said:Hahaha.
You think Twilight is a good series? It's a trite and overdone idea with some okay writing but mostly focused on cashing in amongst teenagers who don't read much and are easy to pander to. Read Anne Rice if you want somewhat interesting vampire fiction.
Also, fan fiction is a terrible thing for any writer. I doubt you write much but, again, I'd be furious if anyone stole my idea for themselves just to fulfill a whim.
Let's set one thing straight: I don't dislike it because it's popular. In fact, I personally think that Harry Potter (the most popular phenomenon in literature lately) was the best thing to happen to children's literature in the past decade or so. I dislike it because the idea is trite and it's not very well written. Character development is also poor and really the only reason it got published was because it had the potential to make money. This is the exact same reason I dislike Dan Brown and other writers of that ilk.Sammiesunshine said:see thing is there i read alot and widely and yeah anne rice is good i like reading her books and i have an wntire bookcase of vamp fiction but it seems like you dislike twilight not so much for the story as for the fact that it became popular.

So what if teen girls like it, i have friends that have begun reading extensively because they enjoyed reading the series and as far as that is concerned if something encourages a person to read it IS GOOD!
and as for fan fiction it is not like these people do it to "steal" ideas they aren't publishing them for pete's sake!
Like fair enough if you feel it's cheating the author but i'm pretty sure not everyone feels that way.
But put it this way if you wrote a good book wouldn't you be at least mildy happy about the fact that people like your writing so much they don't want it to end and therefore write their own little stories based upon that story.
Just curious.. what's wrong with Dan Brown's work?Tulipa said:This is the exact same reason I dislike Dan Brown and other writers of that ilk.
I'll pm you. I don't particularly want to take this thread any more off track than I have.thatsmystapler said:Just curious.. what's wrong with Dan Brown's work?
