since i have started (and completed) the twilight saga, i have become more sensitive to the ppl ard me who are reading it. like i am seeing more and more strangers w/ it. feels weird.

2 things about twilight:

1. it's becoming a trend (which sucks! cos it diminishes the value of the book)
2. the twilighters are fantics. they are so vehement about jacob or edward, and critical of the upcoming movie. and some of them seriously hate jacob or edward. (personal feelings here: i think that w/o jacob, bella and edward's relationship would not have grown so strong, so i like them both, though jacob gets kinda annoying and edward is a tad too protective.)

i seriously hope that it won't be something that mindless ppl squee over but it'll be a series where the writing style and plot of stephanie meyer is appreciated. i can't stand mindless sheep following a trend. meyer has brilliant chracterization, one of the many reasons to enjoy her work. don't trivialise it. sometimes i just shudder when i see certain types of ppl following the trend. LESS squeeing and extreme statements like "HOW CAN YOU LIKE JACOB/EDWARD? HE SUCKS!" and MORE rational discussion and engagement with plot and character. esp after the conclusion has already been written...
