I kind of feel your pain OP. I have pretty serious problems with a lot of the ideas in Twlight (but really, it mostly only bothers me because I see young girls who think the kind of relationship in Twilight is ideal and completely healthy which just makes me worry a bit), but I understand why people like it. It's certainly provided me with ample entertainment. I just wish the fandom would focus more on characters other than Bella and Edward and Jacob.

I want to read fic about Carlisle and his awesome pre-Edward adventures, because I think he was around a couple of centuries before he turned Edward, and his life was probably really interesting. I want angsty fic about Charlie and the dissolution of his marriage. I want Volturri fic, because they're some freaky bastards who probably have vampire orgies or whatever, which interests me. Hell there were a ton of new vampires introduced in Breaking Dawn for what seemed like no reason, I wouldn't mind reading something about those guys. Leah is kind of badass, how about some awesome fic about that? There are just so, so many characters that are barely developed.

I always thought it was kind of funny that when you get past all the crap about Bella and Edward's weird ass "romance" (I use the term loosely, because I honestly find nothing romantic about their creepy relationship. But some darkfic about it? Yeah, that could be interesting), Meyer actually created a lot of characters that potentially could be really interesting, but we don't find out a lot about them since the books are centered on Bella and Edward and are told in her point of view. I'd like to discuss them with people, but all anyone ever cares about is Bella, Edward, or Jacob (and sometimes Alice or whatever).

That's the heart of reasonable Twilight dislike there: It is a book that should be understood as Id-fic, not to be taken as anything ideal that is at all applicable to the real world. It is presented as having a message in some circles, when it should be presented as just entertainment.

(same anon from before) Yeah, that's why the whole Twilight craze confuses me. For instance, I also like the Sookie Stackhouse series (The writing's not all that great, but it's just good old fashioned fun), and it's another fairly popular vampire series but I think most people understand it as something not to take all that seriously (well, some do get pretty crazy over it but not at a Twlight level I guess). I suppose part of it may be because it's targeted at a higher age group maybe. But I also know an astounding number of middle aged women who genuinely think Edward is the ideal man.

The Sookie books are my current drug of choice when I am in a "I just want to read some fun and kinda trashy stuff, but am tired of the internet".

[(Anonymous)]

lol I agree wholeheartedly. I'll just sit down reading and be like "Oh this book is just ridiculous. But I really want to see if Sookie ends up fucking this dude/breaks up with Bill/gets back together with Bill/has to be rescued by Bill or Eric". It's great.

"Jason got kidnapped by a colony of inbred were-panthers? What the-....yeah okay, fine"

"So the guy is a cat and now there's an old witch staying there too? Eh, they don't say much. Moving on..."

[zoey-says.livejournal.com]

Ugh, Bella and Edward's "romance" (and Jacob, for that matter) are one of the main glaring flaws in the series. I kept reading because I was way more interested in the other Cullens and the Volturi. If the books were more about them I think it would've done better.

I actually found her little blurbs about the history of the other characters on the lexicon fansite much more interesting.
