I'm a bit worried about the Twilight movie as well. I'm not so worried about the choice of actors, as they can do a lot with special effects, but I'm scared that when I see who's acting someone like say... Carlisle, then I'll forget my own mental image of him. He probably has short hair for example, and in my mind he looks like Jezebel/Jizabel Disraeli [from the manga Godchild. I guess you could do a Google or Wikipedia search to see what he looks like.]
As for getting more popular, I don't think it's really that much of a problem. It's just the sudden wave of "omg i love vampires they rawk" fans that help give vampire books a bad name that I'm scared of, I guess. If more people know about the book, I'll have more people to talk about it to I guess. If people choose to criticise the book, I wouldn't care much because it's more like a matter of opinion. I'd be interested in what they write, though, because honestly sometimes no matter how much you like a book, or website, or movie, or whatever, sometimes when you read those articles you go "Oh, yeah. That's true." but still love the book.

mizzshy xbookxwormx mizzshy I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door. There's no escape now... --- I have to agree. It gets so annoying when people read only a tiny part of it and are like, "omg I'm like the biggest fan of Twilight and vampires ever"
This is why it's nice to live in England sometimes. All the chavs here would never get into vampires.
Only me and my group of friends like it at all... which makes me happy... ^_^ --- ... No mercy no more, No remorse 'cause I still remember The smile when you tore me apart... finally someone who agrees. no one in my school really knows about it except for a few but still.. just b/c you look at the cover doesn't mean you're the number one fan. dumb.. mad Exactly! *high fives* ^_^ w00t! domokun

xbookxwormx Aqua Anjel I personally can't relate to the n00b acting fans...at my school everyone is pretty mature about it. They have either read Twilight/NM/Ecplipse or they haven't. If they have, I like to talk about it and it's characters and stuff.... I first read Twilight back in August because I saw the book and it seemed pretty cool. Then the obsession started [I sound like and drug addict I know lol.]. Then I borrowed the other two from a friend and loved the series! I like that it's getting popular. I only see the good in it! I mean, theirs a movie! I never saw that coming! I don't really care if people hate the series or act stupid about it. Either you understand it's beauty or you don't. If any idiots come around, I just tell them to shut up or ignore them. I feel like, if you are a true fan, you'll love the series regardless of it's poularity. The fake people who are going with the "trend" will fade away. Yeah, it was all "secret" and special in the begining, but popularity doesn't change how special it is. i'm not going to stop liking it b/c it's getting popular it just makes me angry i hate how stupid people try to read.. mad
Haha you sound like one of my friends there "I hate how stupid people try to read..."
For me I really don't care who reads it, who doesn't. All that matters is the writing you guys. If the writing was really crappy then we wouldn't be aving this disscussion. But her writing Rocks, so more people want to read it. At my school no one really reads so it doesn't matter if t's "in" or "Out".
Think of it this way. Would you rather have no one reading the book and her having no motive to write except she loves the characters
Or
Would you rather her love the characters and love how other people enjoy her writing? I'm trying to get to the point that it really doesn't matter how popular it is. Just how it is written and how people take it.
