I don't see the point in it anymore.
Before, in this guild, we would always theorize about what would happen in the end, and now that the series is over (and it was a let down...) there's nothing to do.....rarely anyone posts anymore.
PLus, now I like The Host better than twilight. In part because it's by Meyer, and it's soooooo much better than twilight.
And now, I just realize...that it's just another love story...and nothing else.
No one's ever gonna be perfect as Edward...and the book is so perfect, it's sureal.

I see your point. There isn't really much to talk about with this series anymore except the movies, and even that isn't really fun since you already know what's going to happen.
But, that doesn't mean you have to give up being a fan. You can still love a series even though the storyline is over.

Yeah, I'm feeling the same way too. It's not as fun anymore and to me, personally, the movie totally ended the excitement for me. In fact, it twisted my liking of the book and the just-now-fans made it worse. Don't get me wrong, I still love the series, I'm just not as enthusiastic anymore because of how irksome this whole commotion has gotten. =

Well, I guess I mean to say...you know us old fans?
We should just put a RIP sign on the old twilight fandom. WE had our fun, and now...since the series is over, our fun is over. I'll always remember thr fun things we did in this guild. Sigh...twilight's just not the same anymore...

I kinda know how you feel.. though not the same about Twilight.
When the last Harry Potter book came out (The Deathly Hallows) and I read it.... all of a sudden I was.. not so interested any more. Before that I was a huge HP nerd, i knew almost everything there was to know about HP (though that was a good... 2 or 3 years ago) The ending of the book ruined it for me and once it was done it wasn't like I could keep wondering what happens next when nothing else was going to be written. So in some ways I get where you're coming from.
I'm sure once I read Breaking Dawn i won't be as interested. As it seems from everyone's reaction to the ending, it's not that good. I know I'm a newer fan but I have to say, I'm not as crazy as some of the new fans are. But then again I am also a bit older than many of those fans so that might be why. (maturity level anyways)

I use to love reading the series....until all of a sudden people started stealing the copies at the school library...and the new just-read-the-book-yesterday-fan-girls trying to quiz me...when I started reading the series when it first came out got me irritated....I think my last hope...will be the New Moon movie....or If Midnight Sun gets published....

I just wanted to say . . . Your poll really offends me.
Who are you to say that the only "true" Twilight fans are the ones who read it when it was fairly recent? You're being rather judgmental by saying that people who only became fans after the movie came out or began reading the books in the last few months aren't "true" fans. You're basically saying they're shallow conformists. Maybe they, like me, we're just looking for a good read and Twilight is always highly recommended.
That poll as a high tone of superiority. I know there are a lot of people in this guild who just recently became fans and it's not fair to say they aren't real fans because they only recently became interested in them.

That poll as a high tone of superiority. I know there are a lot of people in this guild who just recently became fans and it's not fair to say they aren't real fans because they only recently became interested in them. Personally, I have no problem with the poll. For one, the only reason people began to know about it was the movie being advertised by E! or MTV. That’s the only reason why almost all, if not, most, people became interested. A lot of people don’t read books. That’s just a fact. Those who were actually into reading them and considered the story to be good before hand should have a right to hold onto the “true” fan. Honestly, it’s the flamboyant fan girls that tick me off when they cry out “I CAN’T WAIT FOR TWILIGHT PART 2!!! OMFG AHAHAHA!!!”. I feel like getting at them with a sledgehammer. Basically, -we- are “true” fans because we stuck with Stephenie from the beginning, through her other series, and through this hectic movie phenomenon. There is a right to being a true fan and I believe that is why.

I actually agree that saying we're not true fans is rude.
Honestly, I had the chance to read the books because of my friend who loved them.. but at the time I was more wrapped up in the Harry Potter series.
I think to be a true fan you should support the book and the author's choices in the book.
I didn't get into it because of MTV or E! hell I don't even watch those channels stare You can't assume every "new" fan is all the same.
I don't go screaming for New Moon to come out, hell I thought the movies pretty much sucked when compared to the books.
(Clearly you'd have no problem with the polll since you apparently classify yourself as a true fan anyways)
Gah! I can't even talk about it any more.
Ya know, I could be rude to all the people who only started liking Tokio Hotel after they came to the US and Canada, but I'm not because they love the boys as much as I do, even if I've liked them and known about them since almost the time they came out.
I'm not like, oh you're not a true fan because you didn't support them in the beginning stare Seriously, do that sound right to any of you?
I don't think so and this is no different.
It's like you guys think you're superior or something because of it.
Again I don't feel that way when it comes to Tokio Hotel. I'm glad more people know of them and like them now. That their music is being listened to by so many now, same with Stephanie's Twilight series, it should be a good thing that so many are so interested in it now, that more people are giving it a chance and not just writing it off as a preteen novel that they won't like.

I do admit, now looking over it is rude. But the very crazy fan girls have been getting to me and I can’t help but get frustrated. I understand that there are fans out there that recently got to know it and like it, but don’t over-do it. The over-doing part really gets to me, I’m sorry, but it does. My comment was more directed to the recent people that go whack-a-doodle about it.
Wow, haven’t posted this frequently in a while, lol.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but I understand what you mean, in a way. It's sad when the first "phase" of a new obsession dissipates, it's like not being in love anymore.
Actually, I'm in my thrird phase, and it's kinda like the first one but not entirely. It feels kind of empty now that "everyone" is a Twihard. Gosh, I remember one and a half years ago...
