Why I Dont Like Stephanie Meyer As An 作者

posted by OCFan123

For people who were expecting this 記事 to be earlier, really sorry about that! But I've been getting ready for school(WAH!), so...you get the point.
--
So, this article(as あなた can obviously see from the title) is about Stephanie Meyer. Oh yes, I'm pretty sure you've heard of her. The 作者 of the Twilight Saga and the Host, she's pretty much one of the most 人気 writers at this point. Why?
I really don't know.
The 一覧 of reasons

1)Her writing
Okay, even back when I was a mega ファン of twilight(bows head in shame), I never liked the writing. Its just..not good. Hard to explain really. Now 読書 the 本 again, one things went through my mind the whole time:
How did she get a degree in English Litarature?
Also, the facts that she uses fancy adjectives in like, every sentence, does not maker her a good writer.

2)Attiude
I'm sure あなた heard of Midnight Sun being canceled(if not, what rock are あなた living in?), and Meyer simpily 発言しました on the subject:

"My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. 書く isn't like math; in math, two plus two will always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way あなた feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probraly win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun , and so it is on hold indefinitely."
...Really Stephanie?
I mean...come on!
Ok, I understand being upset. If I was 書く a novel and it got leaked, I be upset too. But the fact that あなた have SO many ファン who want あなた to continue this novel, and あなた stop 書く it just because あなた thinks its not worth it. あなた shouldn't do that to your fans.

3)Breaking Dawn
I guess あなた can say that this isn't about me complaning about Stephanie Meyer, but Twilight it self, but she wrote the series, so it counts right?
Yes? Okay then
Now...Breaking Dawn aka worst book ever, seemed so...rushed. I mean, exploding stomach babies? Half-breeds? What was she thinking? I mean, even a lot of twilight fans(mostly NOT on fanpop) hate the book. My sister aka one of the biggest twilight ファン aka Edward Obsessor, hated the book.
But if あなた like it, thats fine. I don't have a problem with that
But back on the subject.

4)Reserch
Yes, reserch can be annoying, but it can also make your book better. One of the main problems I have with "Eclipse" is when Rosalie tells Bella that while she was living in New York during the Great Depression, was able to stay in a Middle Class cession, because her father owned a bank.
Yeah, Stephanie?
Do あなた want to know what the main problem during the Great Depression was?
The banks FAILED!
Bet あなた didnt see that one coming.
I mean, that really annoyed me

5)She based Bella on herself
Many people do deny this, but its quite obvious that Bella is based on herslef. I mean, the looks! Bella and Stephanie basically have the same looks. Stephanie tried to defend herself によって saying "Bella was もっと見る mature than I was in high school."
A) Not a good excuse at all
B) Bella mature? REALLY?
--
Wow, that was WAY longer than my other 記事 huh? Well, as あなた can see, I have a lot of problems with her. Hated it? Loved it? Please let me know. Sorry if I offended anyone. Please, if あなた like her, dont attack me!
School tomorrow...ugh.
Peace!

Nicoleandjames one thing why is people joining this spot when it cleary is about dissing twilight think people

Nicoleandjames and oh yea like all the orginal twilight fans who have been for years hated breaking dawn btw i was an orgianl twilight fan but lost my taste in it by reading way better books and knowing all the faults to this book

katiecain Nicoleandjames, this spot is NOT about 'dissing twilight'. It states in the rules this is NOT an anti spot, it's for exactly what it is called: critical analysis of Twilight. And in the description it says it's for 'Twilight fans looking for intelligent discussion'. So don't tell people they need to think when you obviously have not read the rules. Just sayin'.

Nicoleandjames it makes no sense to me though that a twilighter would want to come on here when almost everyone one here is bashing it, it's like why can't they just join some other spot

katiecain In my experience, most do not bash here. They are simply critical about Twilight, which is what the spot is about. I'm a fan, and I really like it here. Why should they have to join another spot? This spot is for Twilight fans too.

Plenilunio Agreed. The different between criticizing and bashing is: a) Criticizing: Twilight is flawed because... (insert long explanation providing arguments and examples). b) Bashing: Twilight is a piece of shit and everyone who likes it is retarded. Take look at the forums, images, articles and links. Yes, we laugh at the books, it is called "parody" and it is very healthy. You can even laugh mercilessly at things you like as a way to point out their flaws and weaknesses. We laugh at the fangirls too, not at the fans. And just in case this isn't clear, we laugh (and sometimes get shocked) at crazy rabid fangirls whose behaviours range from saying "ur juz jeluz,biotch!!1!" whenever someone disagrees with them to actually attempting to kill people and succeeding to kill their pets. Fans who provide reasonable arguments in favor of the book and are open to debate are very welcome.

Nicoleandjames to me it doesn't make sense because if you love the book why would you want to come on a spot and have people bring out all the faults and b why would you still like the book if these people bring out all the faults its like someone telling you all the negative things that could happen when you eat candy but you just ingore the side affects because you don't care that you will get fat

mandapanda that's your opinion, and I respect that, but critical, in this case, means to analyze. So, if people think there are flaws, then this spot is where they can freely talk about it/discuss/debate. You can either choose to just read the book, or you can dig deeper and get under the surface. The feelings are all nuetral here. Everyone has respect for one another. And I think that's pretty awesome! Respect for others' opinions are really hard to come by in the twilight fandom nowadays! :) This spot welcomes those who have questions and want reasonable and rational answers. Also, it's to discuss the ridiculous things the twilight marketing business comes up with. haha It's all friendly. Being honest, to me, it doesn't make sense for those who know this spot contains stuff they don't like, yet come here and lurk. If you don't like the spot, don't click the link. It's that simple. You can simply ignore it and move on. :)

anna0789 Plenilunio and mandapanda i agree with you breaking dawn was like the biggest deception to me well no the biggest one was that s.meyer put on hold midnight sun just because it got leaked i mean now a days every artist suffers that but back to breaking dawn yeah like horrible i mean the jake/renesmee imprinting it was just creppy ,cmon what is jake going to say to renesmee "o yeah 5 or 6 years ago i was inlove with you mom" B.D was sad all the work for the big fight and nothing happens... and i also think that with all the twilight hype im that i am a fan of the books i feel embarazed to call me a twilight fan because it is like now twilight fan (twihard) equals 1 eeeeeeeeeeeee screams at rob pattinson pics or taylor launter... 2 being rude to anyone that doesn't like twilight saga you are just a lesbian bitch that is jelouse of (enter name related to twilight) 3have all twilight crazy merchindize o check out my twilight make up i look just like the kristen stwrt yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy 4In every contest that they can vote they vote in favor of twilight look look the mtv movie awards best movie?? lets vote for TWILIGHT AND MANY MORE CRAZY THINGS "TWI HARDS" DO so yes now a days i feel sort of ashamed to call myself a twilight fan because well everybody thinks you are just crazy i miss the good days when twilight was known but just by some and the twilight fans were known for more than brain dead girls.... but i know that they are still great fans that respect spots like this !!!

katiecain They're not faults in everyone's opinions though. While I respect what some people think about the books or characters, I don't agree with all of them. Also, I think it's pretty ignorant to just ignore any bad points someone brings up about something you like. I like dissucussing the good and bad points.

Nicoleandjames omg yea that was just ridiculous that twilight won best movie there is NO WAY THAT IT WAS BETTER THEN THE DARK KNIGHT no way even the box office results prove that the dark knight was better then twilight so does the critics i mean they gave the dark knight what 4 stars and they only gave twilight 2.5 yea twilight sure is better then the dark knight

OCFan123 ^^ Lol, aggreed. I was pissed about that...then i remeber it was the MTV movie awards and felt better.

Plenilunio If there is any prize Twilight is nominated to and that it's awarded to whatever gets more votes, Twilight will win, it's a fact. There will be hordes of crazy Twihards deleting cookies, inventing email addresses and turning their modems on and off non-stop in order to vote again and again. Also, they will post "OMG!!!!1!!! VOTE4TWILIGHT!1!!1111!" threads in every corner of teh intarwebs. Nope, I'm not kidding about those cheating techniques. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen people do them.

OCFan123 ^^What has twilight done to teenage girls. Seriosuly, this girl almost got choked, CHOKED for heaven sakes, because she didn't like it. Ugh.

Nicoleandjames yea i know they vote for it over and over again i never agree with mtv awards anyway but i probably knew that twilight was gonna win everything when ashley tisdale won the award for breakthrough performance when that award should have gone to frido pinto for slumdog milliare i don't think i spelt that right but what probably got me most mad was the dark knight fight scene lost to twilights fight scene i hardly call that twilight fight scene a fight scene because it was done in what about a minitue

Nicoleandjames hey u guys should watch those vidoes i posted from my favorite youtubers

OCFan123 ^^The twilight fight scenes wasnt even that good...teh reason it won was because of the fangirls.

Nicoleandjames yea right i know, i was surprised they didn't put james on the best villian because he probably would have won over Heath Ledger and we all know thats not right

OCFan123 ^^No. Just no. If James had won over HEATH LEDGER if they had, than twilight has offically taken over the world.

Nicoleandjames yea but you know he would have if they nominatted him

Kaylee_dykstra I agree Steph is a very arrogant writter its like she thinks she is god or something. P.S. Nice from Nicolandjames yea he proably would have won if he was nominatted which is sad.

katiecain Plenilunio is right, Twilight will always win at shows aimed at teens (at least now anyway). I was annoyed too, there's no way they deserved it (though I dunno what this has to do with the article XD)

Plenilunio ^ Well, err... it has to do with the article because SMeyer sometimes seems the devil incarnate, her evil empire is everywhere, getting stronger and gaining more powers and zombies... I mean fans every day and... that's one reason to not like her as a author!

Nicoleandjames ^zombies lol

kateliness2 Nice article! Agree pretty much completely, especially about her style of writing, BD, and her whining on MS.
