I haven't done any event stuff. I don't know if I even will. It's kind of a pain in the a**.
Anyways, I know how you feel. Just because you create ten thousands threads about how much you hate it, doesn't mean anyone's opinion is going to change. You're just going to be joined by some really, upset, annoying fan girls and some more people who hate it and you can all just have a fun trashing the book. It's not like you and your angry friends are going to make any difference.
Yeah, it makes me pretty angry too. Like why do you care so much? It's like that one thread here, "Too Many People Are Reading Twilight", it does not affect you in any way how many people are reading Twilight, or how many people like it, so why does it even matter so much to you? It has zero affect on you. ZERO.
And if it gets people reading, thats a good thing. We should be happy that Stephenie has created something that so many people enjoy, that it tears us away from the T.V., and gets people doing something more intelligent. And if people fall in love with reading through Twilight, then that's just more positive side affects.
All those are probably written my some stupid in-transition teens, wanting to be original by 'fighting the establishment'. Little do they know that they're just as unoriginal as we are! Haha, looks like a double-edged sword to me, In-Transition Teens!

I once ranted about it for so long because the discussion was whether or not people liked it. Honestly, I can see why some people don't like it. Stephenie does tend to repeat herself, but it's told from Bella's point of view, and who here doesn't repeat themselves all the time? Especially in their thoughts! If any of those people gave The Host a try, they'd see probably a drastically different author in the way she approached that book. Wanda never really repeats herself because she and Mel are kinda living on a day-to-day basis. The Host was a fantastic book and it makes me sad that some people aren't giving it a chance. Also, I think Stephenie was brave to step away from the streotypical vampire. So many people bash about how Stephenie created 'sterotypical' characters, especially in the Cullens, but at least they're not the same vamps we've read about for centuries. There is no 100%, hard copy rule that says all vampires must look this way, act this way, and do this only when this happens. You know? Ugh. Some people do make valid arguments and those I don't mind. I'll actually listen and maybe even agree on some points (like, no offense or anything, but they did fall in love too fast. I like that in Midnight Sun (I couldn't resist. And since Stephenie put it there, I felt better about it) we get to see Edward's point of view of it, but still, I would have liked to see them develop more. That's just me, though) It's the whole "This book is for idiots and teenyboppers who can't read a decent book" and "I hate Twilight even though I never read it" thing that pisses me off. Stoopid people. sad

Aquarian Shadow I know what you mean. One day in English class I had finished my work early and was reading Twilight when the teacher and a bunch of her mini clone students came and started bashing it. My teacher ranted about how it was below my reading level and my IQ was dropping as a result of reading by, I quote " That fantasy vampire trash" HER WORDS, NOT MINE!True I normally read thicker "more adult" books when I have the time but they are also fantasy, which according to that teacher also rots the brain when I " should be reading and writing about the real world" if I want to write. This teacher called LotR garbage and discarded our school library copies of it and was angry when a teacher bought the Twilight sega for the school. I asked her why she hated it so much and she said she'd never read it but it was unhealthy to promote fantasy stories. This teacher recently left our school and on the day she left several members of the library club held and celebration with pizza and ice cream in the courtyard while they read passages from their favorite books.
God, i pity you girl.
