Too effing funny by half.

Check out this comment. I'm thinking it was someone on mah flist, because out of the PAGES of comments they singled mine out to respond to (also, the ridiculous spelling, etc. looks like something someone who knows me would perpetrate just to annoy me).

'FESS. UP.

Subject: i love 'um !!! how could you!!

Somebody replied to a comment you left in a LiveJournal post. (BTW- READ IT, IT'S AWESOME) The comment they replied to was:
I was pointed to this post by someone on my flist, happened upon your comment, and may I say that if this lovefest has room for another I'd like to join. :D

Your comments made me laugh- I totally agree, and while Stephenie Meyer is not Person of Interest #1 for me, I just can't stan' her. :P
Their reply was:
Subject: i love 'um !!! how could you!!

You're telling me she is now going to redo the existing books from Edward's point of view and people are going to pay her for it as though it's actually new content?

Honey, it's worse. She'd already started the 5th book- retelling the first book from Edward's POV- when someone snagged a PDF of it and spread it around, and when the author found out what had happened, she threw a hissy fit, hereafter known as a "Smantrum" (Stephenie Meyer= Smeyer+ tantrum= Smantrum) and announced that LIFE IS HARD and that WRITING IS HARD and that SHE FELT THAT SHE'D BEEN EMOTIONALLY COMPROMISED and could not longer finish the book. Millions of fans were devastated apathetic.

And yeah, you hit the nail on the head. But Twi-hards are a whole different breed, apparently.

So, uh, so much for trying to go toe-to-toe with Stephen King, eh?

I will give the publisher credit for doing a very good job of packaging and promoting the series. The cover design for the books is gorgeous and memorable. It's too bad it's being used to package the literary equivalent of a flaming bag of dog poo.

So, basically, someone got a hold of a galley copy, was probably offended as hell that this was going to be published and she was going to be paid some ridiculous sum for it, and spread it around to make the general public aware of how creatively void this chick is?

So if she can't finish the book, does that mean she has to return her advance? XD

More like she knew Breaking Dawn was a raging failure and leaked it so that folks would love her again and then SNATCHED THE PRIZE AWAY.

If only. Wouldn't it be nice if she were literally bankrupt the way her writing is bankrupt of sense, substance and... Yeah, I'm her biggest fan. ;D

Were I a parent, I would let my teenage daughter read Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles before I would let her crack the cover of any of the Twilight "books."

Oh, you're not alone on that one, believe me. I think as a writer Rice is more adept and that her vampires are more, well, real. Meyer's are Mary Sues. If I want that sort of writing I've still got all my old Sweet Valley High books to share...
