This is a response to the link. If あなた disagree with this article, instead of leaving pointless hate-spam, which is just a waste of time, please explain why あなた don’t like it, または any points I got wrong.

“The story is written compellingly enough that a wide body of readers is able to fit into the persona of Bella and 愛 Edward.”
I hate to break it to you, but that isn’t a result of good writing. It’s quite the opposite, actually. Bella is a very one-dimensional character. She has no real hobbies, defining character traits, または even any specific physical appearance, and because of the series being written in first person, it requires essentially no brainpower to imagine あなた are her. Simply put, she’s a Mary-Sue, and that’s a sign of bad writing.

“Edward himself is written as the most desirable guy on the face of the Earth. He has vampirically enhanced features that are model-perfect, even もっと見る so. It’s not just his handsome face that is described in worshipful detail, but the sound of his voice, the feel of his cold and marble-hard skin, and even the smell of his breath. Adding in the fact that he possesses super speed, super strength, immortality, and the ability to read the minds of almost everyone but Bella herself and he seems like a godly personification.”
How could I forget? Meyer reminds us almost every paragraph Edward is present. Yet again, a sign of bad writing.

He is a vampire, which means he constantly feels the desire to eat people, Bella in particular.
This is not a flaw until something bad comes of it. There is a rule in literature known as “show, don’t tell.” Now, Meyer has obviously never heard of this because we usually get either get “tell (x), 表示する nothing,” または “tell (x), 表示する (y).” While Edward constantly says he’s dangerous, wants to eat Bella, and could kill her any second, he never acts on it. If he accidentally hurt her または tried to drink her blood, I would count this as a flaw, however, he doesn’t. He always shows perfect self control.
I do not count (1) his thoughts at the beginning of Midnight Sun because that is, once again, telling, not showing, (2) him trying to drink Bella’s blood at the end of Twilight because he was trying to save her life and was able to stop very quickly, または (3) the bruises he gave Bella during their honeymoon because he destroyed furniture instead of her, and bruises are not a serious/long-term injury.

“Bella, however, continues to pursue him and he changes his mind, deciding to indulge his obsessive inclinations によって sneaking into her room at night to watch her sleep and covertly following her around, eventually seeking out a proper relationship.”
Unfortunately, the fact that Edward stalks Bella is somehow considered “romantic.” Words that come to my mind are “creepy,” “disgusting,” “sick,” “paedophilic” (he’s over 100 and she’s 17 = he’s a paedophile), etc. Take your pick.
This is an ENORMOUS flaw, and yet I feel I cannot count it. The 作者 does not consider this a flaw; therefore, it was not addressed as such. Characters need to work on their flaws throughout the book/series/movie/*insert form of storytelling here* in order for them to develop and grow. Edward doesn’t ever progress from this, as far as we know, and because this flaw doesn’t impede his character in any way (except for receiving a lot of hate from antis and members of Team Jacob), I will not count this as a flaw.

“What is attractive about Edward as a predatory vampire is, I believe, the dangerous power associated with the character and its potential to be used maliciously. There’s something enthralling about imagining myself in the position of Bella, infatuated with this dark, beautiful, and powerful man and knowing he could kill her should he lose willpower for just an instant.”
If Edward actually drank human blood I would accept this as a flaw, but since he has perfect control, this does not count.
Also, Bella is a masochist, and apparently あなた are too... I’m not entirely sure if that’s a good thing.

“Edward: And the lion fell in 愛 with the lamb.
Bella: What a stupid lamb.
Edward: What a sick, masochistic lion!”

Now, あなた may have noticed my use of the word “masochistic” in the 前 statement. It is a prime example of Stephenie Meyer’s poor 書く skills under the category us antis like to call ‘Thesaurus Rape.’
Masochism
mas•och•ism [mássə kìzzəm]
noun
1. sexual pleasure through humiliation: sexual gratification achieved through humiliation and physical and verbal abuse
2. psychological disorder: the psychological disorder in which somebody needs to be emotionally または physically abused in order to be sexually satisfied
3. 検索 for abusive sexual partners: the active seeking out of sexual partners who will dominate, humiliate, and physically and verbally abuse
4. enjoyment of hardship: the tendency to invite and enjoy misery of any kind, especially in order to be pitied によって others または admired for forbearance

If this word was used to describe Bella, I wouldn’t even notice, however, Edward uses the word “masochistic” to describe himself. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think this is the proper 説明 of Edward, and Meyer needs to stop using big words that even she doesn’t understand.

“Jacob and Quil are not creepy pedophiles, but rather boys who feel the kind of 愛 of an older family member feels toward their young imprintees. They’re like the model babysitters and preschool teachers who seriously 愛 their kids and want to see them happy, albeit with their 愛 situated on specific people. When the kids age to the point that the average adult would find them attractive, it can be assumed that the shapeshifters will want to pursue a romantic relationship, but at that point the playing field is pretty much level and age is no longer an issue.”
This is called child grooming, and it’s a form of paedophilia.
I’d also like to point out here that Jacob would (most probably) begin having sex with Renesmee when she reaches the age of 7. Now, while あなた may argue that she looks 17, firstly, that’s a stupid argument because she’s still underage, and secondly, it’s not about how old あなた look, it’s about how many years have passed since your birth. It is still paedophilia!

“In response to the common complaint that Twilight is written poorly, I would have to say that the concept of good literature is highly subjective.”
You’re confusing “quality of writing” with “entertainment value.” Twilight is full of grammatical errors, misuse of words, dry dialogue, repetitive and long-winded descriptions, etc. This is poor writing. Now, あなた may still find entertainment in a piece which is written poorly, just as あなた can find a well written book to be completely boring; that’s how it works. Enjoying something does not mean it’s automatically good. For example, I’m addicted to the TV 表示する ‘The Secret Life of the American Teenager.’ It’s my guilty pleasure. However, as I watch, I recognise that some of the actors are substandard, the plot is full of clichés, there are many cheesy lines, and whoever is editing this together is absolutely shocking, but that doesn’t mean I can’t like it, I still find it entertaining.
There are some pieces of classic literature which bore me to tears too, because everyone enjoys different things, but the quality of the 書く is not completely dependent on the enjoyment someone gets from 読書 it; it’s based on the technical aspects of the writing. Stephenie Meyer is not a good writer, that’s not an opinion, it’s a fact.

“Finally, I have read numerous blog 記事 criticizing 作者 Stephenie Meyer’s decision to incorporate religious themes and messages into the book series.”
I don’t have a problem with religious themes and messages in a book, but once male supremacy becomes one of those values promoted, I have to draw the line.

In conclusion, I find most of the hate against Twilight running rampant on the Internet to be overblown. Surely, Twilight is not the kind of epic, involved, and progressive story like Harry Potter または Buffy the Vampire Slayer. However, for what it is, which is an intimate fantastical romance story that can be appreciated によって a large quantity of people, it is of high enough quality to achieve high popularity. This should be respected even if the story doesn’t appeal to everyone.
If everyone knows Twilight is nowhere near the standard of Harry Potter, why does Breaking Dawn have “Move over Harry Potter” printed on the back? Twilight is what it is: a cheesy paranormal romance for teens. It’s not a saga, it’s not the best 愛 story since Romeo and Juliet, it’s not well written. Now, あなた may see this “hate” as being overblown, but that’s what it looks like when lots of people all feel the same way about it, and I doubt it will stop until the Twilight fad dies down.

We're not on Team Tyler's バン for no reason.

    “Jacob, what’s wrong?” A little, pixie-like girl with wispy, short hair came running up towards us and asked the 秒 tan boy, Jacob, in a worried tone.
    Jacob looked like he had just watched his best friend die in front of him. Seth continued to stare at me, and I had absolutely no idea what was going on.
    “Seth imprinted.”
    The pixie-like girl looked mortified. “What?”
    Jacob growled, “Seth imprinted, Alice. Seth imprinted on this thing.

Twilight is a series of four vampire-themed ファンタジー romance novels によって American 作者 Stephenie Meyer.

I sat on my ベッド with Jacob after everything calmed down and was talking with him. Its been a while since we have talked. i like it. "So, wanna hang out tomorrow? i could come over to your house and we could go to La Push または work on the Rabbit." i 発言しました excitedly.

I sighed slightly. "Well, Edward 発言しました that him and his family are leaving for a...

This is a continuation of 愛 CHECK MATE. Set after 3 weeks from the ending of LCM... :D

Emmett's POV.

"Hey Sweetie, where are you?" The drama - クイーン squeaked. "Right here, dream-girl ," I replied in a much sarcastic and less concerned way. OH yes ! let me tell あなた that I don't know who I am and I don't even know who I was....or well what and with whom I was. It has been 3 months and I am here in Miss Bella Swan's luxurious bungalow but whenever I dare to ask her about my identity all that I am told is that it is nothing that I should mind. I would doubt if anyone would readily accept such...

こんにちは guys, my name is Karly and I've decided to write my own ファン fiction. Okay, imagine Edward never came back because Alice never told Roslie anything, so Edward never assumed Bella died.

Breaking Dawn may have been a smash hit with Twihards all over the world, but the Golden ラズベリー foundation was impressed for a different reason.

They've nominated the flick for 8 of their Razzie awards, which are like the Oscars but for the "worsts" of the year, so they're a little もっと見る fun.

Breaking Dawn was nominated for:
•Worst Picture
•Worst Screenplay
•Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, または Sequel
•Worst Director
•Worst Screen Ensemble
•Worst Actor: Taylor Lautner
•Worst Actress: Kristen Stewart
•Worst Screen Couple

Do あなた think Breaking Dawn deserves the nominations?
