This qualifies as fanart? Maybe anti-fan art.

The drawing sucks, I know, but I'm uploading it anyway.

Yes, the book is backwards and misspelled. For good reason. Mainly, it doesn't deserve better treatment.



For one time in my life I am horrified to say... in the comparison of the two worst fantasy series I have ever seen (and attempted to read) on market- Eragon and Twilight- Eragon is more tolerable. And that's just because that shit is plagiarized and doesn't talk about sparkling boys for 50 pages.

If someone is a fan of them and over 16, I feel really bad for them. They obviously cannot really read. Seriously. It's a story about a stupid, boring girl and a passive-agressive pansy vampire that doubles as a disco ball. It's weakly written, incredibly corny, unoriginal and about 1,000 pages too long. The entire thing was filled with cliche after cliche and the "romantic" relationship between the two main characters is abusive- and is a prime example of blind teenage lust. Poorly written blind teenage lust.

Honestly, if you thought it was a good book, you don't know good books.

BLEH.

I have hundreds of suggestions for people to read instead of that crap... starting with Cormac McCarthy- and Niel Gaiman... and Gregory MacGuire... and... ANYONE else!

Just open a book that has some real meaning to it, not something that caters to sad desperation and the need to have a book dumbed down to look like an 8th grader's writing assignment.

</rant>

(Here is a disclaimer for the people who are just going to whine and bitch and low and carry on like idiots: I am generalizing and being unfair in the previous passage to fans of the Twilight series. I do not know you, therefor I do not know how stupid you really are, therefor I cannot tell you that you are stupid until you prove it to me by whining and bitching and lowing and carrying on like an idiot.)

And if you need a nicer version about some of my fears about this book, watch this: [link] and even though I do not agree with her about it being "well written" bleh. Also, after watching that you say "But it's just a book!" then you need to watch this: [link]

I honestly have no idea what twilight is even about, but my ideas of 'Vampires' are rooted in Bram Stoker and 'the lost boys'. (No, I hate anne rice, but I think she opened the path for better 'modern fantasy', just like Tolkein was terrible but opened up the pathway for GOOD fantasy books)
I take it this book is like neither of them?
:icongreen-bird:
NOPE. Sparkely "vegetarian" vampire pretty-boy stalks "unattractive" regular girl and she falls in love with him all hopelessly and shit. She gets into trouble, he saves her... cue 40 page makeout scene (but no sex! they are saving themselves)

And there's a werewolf. And they're enemies. Surprise.

What happened to good old monsters that gut you? I want some Nosferatu!

Never will I read that book and this is why.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. How could I forget? Sasuke says all he needs to say by not saying anything at all in regards to Sakura. So naturally that means everything when we take the pairing perspective on this. ~jin-desu
:iconbrigadon:
So basically NOT as good as pre-porn anita blake.
:iconguideshadow:
That series is leading so many little girls into a land of disappointment. They want a "perfect" guy who will "protect" them.
Dude, he's abusive.

I applaud you. And I love this picture XD So many people I know are excited and seeing the movie, and I just can't help but lose a distinct amount of respect for them.

It sucks when all your rl friends are in love with the series and you're like '....no, not really.'
The most important points I feel you made was the death of round characters and reason. The series was unfulfilling and poorly executed. I like the bit of text you added to the visible page and the author name change :3

I'm like a stick up your ass; every time I wiggle you can't help but squirm and you love it and at the same time hate that you love it.
