As someone who liked vampires before the fad started I'm one of the many people who dislikes the Twilight vampires. And thinks they should be reclassified as pixies. Or that at least Zombie Bram Stoker should go have a serious talk with Stephenie Meyer about vampires... What do you mean Bram Stoker hasn't risen as a zombie in protest to the Twilight vampires? Why don't you go prove it? I'll wait...

...They didn't come back, so I'm assuming Zombie Bram ate their brains. We'll have to carry on without them. Anyway, I must admit Meyerpires are an interpretation of...
I saw a review of the new Twilight movie, and in a generally negative review one thing said in defence of the movie was that Bella doesn't dress like a skank (paraphrased) and she just looks like a normal girl, which was called a good message as they felt it's healthier for girls to see Bella/Kristin Stewart on screen than someone like Angelina Jolie. That on top of the fact that I keep hearing people say in defence of Twilight 'well at least it sends tweens a good message concerning not having sex too soon' since Edward refuses for a long time, and pretty much all they seem to do is touch...
With the New Moon movie around, I've been hearing more and more details about the plot of that book and there's one thing I need a little (or a lot) help understanding. (spoilers for the end of New moon, but at this point I think everyone on this spot has either read the book or vowed never to anyway) So near the end, through a series of enormous coincidences Edward has the idea Bella is dead. He decides he can't live without her (even though up to that point the entire plot of the book was about how he vowed to live without her, and ran off never to see her again. So really, would her death...
I realised lately I was becoming a tad too whiny for my tastes about the little things on Fanpop that bug me, maybe it's because I seemed to join just in time to see Fanpop at it's most awesome, then watch it's mild de-awesoming. The site still rocks, but there are some little things being done that I'm not crazy about, so in the spirit of self improvement (or a thinly veiled excuse to complain) I'm going to get them off my chest, as well as listing the solutions to these problems that my angry brain has been suggesting.
I've talked about some of the things that crossed my mind when reading Twilight in the past. Thoughts such as "when is Bella going to freak out about the Edward watching her sleep thing?" "Did that say sparkling? I've re-read that passage like, four times and it still seems to say sparkling" "Does Stephanie Meyer think deer is a vegetable? no, really does she? Does she think you can call yourself a vegetarian if you don't eat things like people or those monkeys who know sign language?"
But those are valid thoughts that many people reading the books also thought (well, maybe not...
