I would have loved to see Twilight written in a way that took the creepy aspect into consideration, even if it had to be from a third-person point of view because Bella won't do anything but gush about how loving, romantic and dazzlingly hot Edward is. It would have added a lot of depth to the series.

I'm still trying to get through the first book and it ticked me off the other day when I got to the part where Bella gets separated off from her friends in town and then rescued by Edward from those street muggers, she had been looking for the bookstore the whole time and then wouldn't even go inside because it turned out to be a new-age bookstore run by some hippie/psychic type character.... who probably could have had a lot of information about vampires, given that this is a book about vampires and all... why, Meyer, WHY! ;_;

OMG, yes. See, I actually like creepy relationships. Bella/Edward would have so been my cup of tea if the author, the characters, and more than half the fanbase didn't act as if there was absolutely nothing wrong with B&E's relationship. If everyone had just acknowledged how utterly creepy and destructive the pairing I was would have been far more receptive of the series as a whole.

Do you read Twific? Because there's one fic (though it's an AU) where the author really touches on this. The B/E in her fic is probably more disturbing than its canon counterpart, but just the fact that the characters in the fic realize how effed up the ship is (ESPECIALLY Bella and Edward) makes it far more interesting (fic is a total guilty pleasure, btw).

I haven't read a lot of it but I'd love a link to that one if you could.

This is why way back when I first heard about Midnight Sun it interested me. I would've much rather read the stories from Edward's POV than Bella because you're right, she acts like a typical teenager and all she does is gush and fawn over him. I lived through that part of my life, I don't want to read it. But Edward was going through this whole inner turmoil of morals. His fear of being a monster and wanting to redeem his soul (not original in vampire fic, but I always find it interesting) for some hope of not being eternally damned for something he didn't have a choice in becoming. While reading Twilight I constantly wanted to know what was going on in HIS head, not stupid boy crazy Bella...

I have read Midnight Sun... let's just say Bella is certainly not the only one guilty of gushing and fawning. Good grief, the book would have been twice as long as Twilight had Meyer finished it!

I recall a lot of laughably bad lines too... not well enough to quote them, more's the pity.

(There was some interesting character stuff, but it needed a whooole lotta editing to make it work. And given *ahem* BD, I have serious doubts in Meyer's editor's critiquing skills.)

I never did read what was leaked because I did realize that it wouldn't be what I wanted it to be. I liked the idea of it more than what she presented (so I heard). I've accepted that it had potential, but was in the wrong hands.

ITA - she comes up with interesting concepts, but is not so great at executing them.
