That's a pretty negative title & description - maybe tone it down a bit? We don't want this spot to get deleted.

^^Oh,alright.
I am actually a mild fan of the series but I really don't like her.

*sigh* I hate it when any famous artist, whether talented or not, think they're above the rest of us mortals just because they had success. Some think they are untouchable and instead of dealing with criticism by defending their work with solid arguments, they are just in denial.

Is there a part two? I'd like to read it. The tone is a bit aggressive and the same things could be said in a softer, more effective way, but I agree with many of the points.

Are they all real quotes of hers? I'm just...I'm stunned she would call another author out for having weak stupid female characters. That is so ironic and strange it almost makes me doubt she wrote (or ever read) Twilight. Or it would if the childlike way she speaks didn't reek of Twilight.
I don't mean any of this to offend fans, and hope my opinion of her doesn't upset them, but seriously, I'm almost concerned about her. I feel like she has some undiagnosed mental handicap. She behaves like she grew to the age of about ten then just stopped. Not even trying to be rude, I have relatives who aren't even into double digits yet who are more articulate, mature and humble.

That sounds mean, and I'm honestly not trying to offend, I'm just so beyond baffled by this woman.

If this comes out offensive, then I'm sorry.

But who the hell compares themselves to Shakespeare and Austen, and comes out the victor? I mean, seriously?

I hope that in 8 years, when Twilight is just a distant and unpleasant memory for the world, she realizes how pathetic that is.

Even though it's kind of mean in its phrasing I do like reading stuff like this...helps me vent out some of my own Twilight/Meyer frustration.

And P.S. Asvini: I'm kinda starting to think that too...at first her behavior was just kind of annoying to me, but now I'm honestly getting a bit concerned.

I agree that it is agressive and mean,but anyone in their right mind would have the same reaction after reading some of SMeyer's comments. I am not exactly an anti but I still agree with most of it.
I found part two. It doesn't really make any new points but we do find out that Seth Meyer is mean.
I wish these quotes weren't true but I found all of them:

hmmm
^Thanks for the link! The Seth part made me roll my eyes so hard. He is not helping her at all. Also, I find it hilarious she plays the "you can't please everyone" card to justify her flaws, but then acts completely butthurt when someone dares say that maybe, just maybe, there are some things that could be improved, not to mention that others are terrible, disregard continuity, are poorly written, and so on.

'In an attempt to keep the books clean and not make young girls think about things that they don't need to think about, no other book mentioned anything about reproductive systems.'

Ok, what?! Edward and Bella are always making out in the books; which would make young girls think about that (which 'they don't need to'). So that's fine, but we're not allowed to teach them about reproductive systems, which would probably be much more benefical? Seriously, what is this guy on?

Stephanie's an idiot. A childish, narsasistic, idiot.
Seth is a douchebag. A childish, upity, douchebag.

I feel concerned for Stephanie, but I still want to smack them both in the back of the head.
