Honey, this is a public forum. It doesn't matter who you were first addressing, anyone can respond and they usually do. Technically, the opening poster wasn't talking directly to you either. If you don't want others to respond, send them a private message.

Once again, to you she may be a fantastic author, but as I stated, she is not in the literary community. She will never be considered a great author by the vast majority of people who study literature or are serious about writing. The Twilight series will not be considered a classic one hundred years from now. It will probably get a few notations in history books and the almanacs about revenue and the like, but most classes will probably not be even mentioning it anywhere in the curriculum or it won't be re-published as much as Dickens and Shakespeare are today. That is mainly because it is mostly viewed as a fad that will fade out relatively soon - probably not long after Breaking Dawn is released to DVD. The book series itself was, overall, relatively unpopular (compared to Harry Potter and other books) until the movie came out. It's mainly popular because of Pattinson and Lautner, and the fact that nearly all teenage girls think they're in love with one guy or the other. This is not enough for it to really withstand the test of time. Having two good looking young men star in the adaptation of her book series does not make her a fantastic author - which the majority of fans seem to think (I'm not saying that you do at all. I'm mainly talking about the Twilight fans who only say "Edward is hot!" as their reason for liking it).

If she publishes more books that are of a higher quality than the Twilight "Saga" then maybe, but she'll most certainly have to get over her extreme paranoia about being leaked before that can possibly happen. She would also need to take a bit more than a few months to complete a novel and begin trying to publish it. If she would pay more attention to characterization and if she was more careful about word choice than she was about trying to beat the readers with a thesaurus to sound more intelligent, then Twilight would have had the potential to be a much better series than it actually is.

All I'm saying is that Meyers is not currently considered to be a fantastic author by anyone in the literature field.

Look, I'm just explaining why I disagree with your statement and why many other people I know would as well. You're free to think that she is, but for me, she has a long way to go before I would ever describe her as fantastic.

I have always, and will always be a harry potter fan. Even before the first twilight movie came out, I always had a love long for the harry potter series. However, seeing as I read all the books of both series, I will admit that there were A LOT of things that dissatisfied me with the twilight series, I can go rambling all day about HOW BAD the writing and plot were thought out and written.



but let me get one thing straight, Twilight could of been more exceptional towards me, and i can't speak on behalf of all you others, there's a slight feeling in me that believe this goes to you all as well. If it weren't for the HIGHLY ANNOYING FAN BASE. then maybe i wouldn't be to harsh reviewing the twilight series, but it's different, These fans literally EXAGGERATE on how "GOOD" the books are. Honestly, the plot mainly (AND YES! I'M QUOTING ON ALL THE ACTORS and ACTRESSES IN THE FILM) this plot MAINLY focuses on a "love triangle" between bella, edward, and jacob. does that not say enough for all you fanatics? how lame can that story line be? honestly, In the book, there is BARELY any action as how the film directors had exaggerated it. Especially in the last/4th book. Even the writer HERSELF, had to admit on holding back any actions that would add a spice to an ending. I believe, that majority of the fan base are females who FANTASIZE about the male actors in the film (i.e. "EDWARD IS HOT!") and that being the ONLY reason to why they think the film is "THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME"



and don't get me started on how annoying kristen stewart acting is, that also made me look down to the film/books.. she's pretty and all, but I defintely would of preferred emily browning casted as bella swan.



now, don't get me wrong, it was enjoying to read the books. but it's definitely, not worth to buy them and waste your money on the series. twilight is NOTHING compared to harry potter.



About the writting of the twilight books, Stephenie Meyer writes as if she's writing for little kids. There's no way she can write a creative a wonderful paragraph discovering a scenery as well as how JK rowling can. JK uses words vocabulary that a lot of kids would go "uhh, i dont know how to say that" at least thats what happened to me when i was younger. But now, I'm 17 and greatly appreciate her hard work in writting these books 15 years?. A good book MUST have writing that even adults can be fascinated by. Unlike Twilight. I'm sorry if I'm degrading twilight. But maybe if you fans would just be a little easy on the annoyance level.



sorry if i go on about this too much, maybe i should just create a blog on how i really feel about the comparisons. haha

and one last thing, all you "fans" need to grow up with her little frenzy of love for twilight, sooner or later you will look back and think "wtf was i thinking?" you either get over and grow up now, or forever regret your annoying past.
