Breaking Dawn in like 500 words.

OMG just saw that! That is relly funny! "But I'm not complaining because I'm not a virgin anymore!"

Oh, and it wouldn't have been such a big deal if Stephenie didn't announce it to the whole world about the whole reproduction thing.

I keep hearing everybody say it was a bad fanfic, and I have to disagree. Yes, it felt like a fanfic to me, due to the mix of slight but noticible plotholes, the way everything resolved itself halfway through the book so the story was all "happy endings" form there on, which does make it boring, and the extra dramatics of Bella, but had this been an actual fanfic, I think a lot more of us would have considered it a good, or at least okay fanfic. Everyone's only calling it a bad one because the author wrote it, and that's the level of material we expect from fans who don't have always have years to dedicate to this stuff. Not disputing that it wasn't so great, I didn't particualrly love it myself, but I'm just saying we might want to be a bit more careful in the way we phrase our criticisms.


Major spoiler alert!


Having said that, I have to say, the biggest disapointment for me came after all the resolutions. I get to the halfway point in the book and everybody's all friends and everything's perfect, which makes for a really boring story, so i figure the rest of the book has to deliver. Sure enough, I soon hear the newsa about the Volturi, and I figure I'm saved. I sat through the half-interesting-half-tedious introductinos of vampires and simialr training and preperation, all in anticipation of the greatest fight in the series. I should probably explain here that in most of the books, Bella gets a bit too soap-opera-y for me, but I put up with it because the fights are pretty cool. So, here I am, figuring the massive drama will be blanced by a massive fight and as the negotiations start and tension builds....

....THEY WALK AWAY!!!! The flippin' Volturi comes out there with all their forces, totally ready to destroy the Cullens, and they freakin' CHICKEN OUT!!! And then Carlisle make it into some lesson about how bullies are cowards who never win. Seriously, what the heck?!?! I was dying for a real fight in thsi one, but I was hugely dissapointed. This is the type of sappy, happily-ever-after-ending I might expect from a fan, but from the professional? I gotta say, I'm with the two Romainian vampires here: The time was right. The Volturi needed to have a real fight.

Actually the whole reason you have a scrotum is to keep sperm warm.

Unless Edward is so cold that his ballsac preserves the sperm by freezing it, and then the heat of the room melted all of the fluids so he could impregnate Bella. God, I'm such a weirdo.

Exactly. You know, if you're going to make the book more adult-themed in the start, keep it that way! You raise fans expecatations, and when their hopes and dreams come crashing down...well, picture the French Revolution, only with fans attacking Stephenie Meyer's house.

What'll she do when she pokes her head out the window? "Let them drink blood?"

Hahaha, yeah, it'll either go like that, or:

"The fans are starving for a book series to satisfy them!"

"Then let them read Harry Potter."`

Ah, thanks, I didn't catch those. I think I got 'em all now. And I'm not trying to hate on her book, I'm just pointing out the dissapointments I found in it. It just happens to be stated in the ranting style. I did actually enjoy the book, I just think it could have been a lot better.

I think he was being sarcastic...



Lol, i think it's more like Stephanie Meyer has a fetish for cold meat. Probably sleeps with raw meat taken out of a meat freezer.

Lol, that's terrible.

Hmm. Well if it wasn't stated within the books themselves, I suppose it's not out of the question for her to change her mind about the whole thing. I've changed around a few of my own ideas several times.

Exactly. I don't really mind about it, I was not aware of the whole fact that vampires could not reproduce because I never got her memo. So maybe she decided to change her mind thinking that maybe not all of her fans got that. meh.

I also wanted to add saying something... I was thinking to myself today, cause I was bored at camp... about this whole Jacob imprinting on Bella and Edward's kid thingy. I think Steph did it because of Quil. It sort of makes sense because one may foreshadow to think that if Quil can imprint on a child so can Jacob... and boom! he's stuck with whatsherface lol(i cant spell it)

I just want to get this out there...

Stephenie Meyer claimed that 'vampires' could not have off spring. She never clearly distinguished women from men when the question was asked. It was meant to be misleading. And to those who think Stephenie Meyer pulled Breaking Dawn out of her ass you really do not read interviews. Well, you claim you do because everyone says the same thing about the offspring. *Shrugs*

Anyway, she's stated that Forever Dawn had pivotal plot points parallel to Breaking Dawn. So it's a given that she's known about the Nessie, about the wedding, and about Bella's power since 2004. She pretty much came into the series knowing exactly how it would end.

Ah, true...


I guess I just didn't like it. I don't really care for the interviews. Except that one where she explained the whole spawn thing.


Anywho, I like your middle avatar in your sig. That part was funny...

As was, "Why am I covered in feathers?"

I suppose it was only good for a laugh. Like when Jake threw his dog bowl and hit Rosalie in the head. I lol'd!

I've JUST started reading BD. And I have to say, I'm so glad that Meyer used some baby sense.

Like the paragraph where Bella realizes that she must be preggers "but how? My body would have to take time to register that fact!" Wooo!

It's actually so much better than what people were saying! Huh.
