Twilight
This is the...

This is the thread for PRO-twilighters only. That is, I would appreciate it if all Anti's would stay off this thread so we can discuss why we like Twilight in peace. That is, I have never read the books and don't plan to, but I think the Twifans deserve a thread to themselves. This should eliminate controversy and appease Lena and Allison.

Shhhh... is it safe? *tiptoes out onto thread* I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I liked Twilight. NOT loved, liked. It is definitely not my favorite book, but I don't hate it. Why do I like it? Really, I don't know. Probably because I've never read a vampire or romance story before so I don't have anything to compare it to. I thought that it was interesting and *gasp* a page turner. But... I still definitely respect anybody who doesn't like it, because I could see why. My reasons for liking it seem kind of lame, huh? So, I guess (this sounds really, really, stupid) I don't really have a reason for liking it... hmmm... I just do... and it's NOT because other people like it... I just do... hm, should I even press the submit button? Because I sound like I have issues in this post... :S :D

Good idea. Very good idea. *is appeased* :) 

Anyway, I'm mostly an Anti, but I do appreciate Twilight as good bad reading. I read 'New Moon' on vacation and that was fun. It was boring, and badly written, and kind of contrived, but hey. There's a time and a place for that. Like vacation! :)

I loved Twilight, and believe it or not, I used to be a anti! Now, my BFF and I are fighting over the next copy!

Well, it was a good idea, I s'pose... bit over used but good... it was just the execution that failed miserably.

Ok, I'm sorry, I'm leaving now, bye!

((Imagen this in calm and slow voice))  I'm not a anti-twilighter.  I'm not a PRO-twilighter either.  I don't like it that much, but a kinda like it.  I'm more on the not-like side though.  The book is a little boring, to me.  SMeyer is good at making you deppressed.  I tried to finish it as fast as I could so I could get rid of my depressyness (is that a word?).    The thing that I like about twilight; um... *thinks for hours*  it has vampires in it.  I hope that you don't mind that I'm on this thread.  I don't want to start any fights or aguments.

Well, of course I'm on this thread...everybody knows why...I LOVE TWILIGHT!!! I don't really have a reason for liking it either, I just like it. Strike that. Love it.

One of my friends, who I thought loved Twilight more than anything, betrayed me and said that  Maximum Ride was better! (Maximum Ride is about an avian/girl hybrid experiment) I felt really betrayed....Well, that's all I have to say. Bye!

Um... I have nothing to say to that and nothing to say on this thread. Good things? About Twilight? *thinks* Weeeell... it, uh... encourages reading?

Okay, no. Sorry.
