I really like this as an idea, and I saw a lot of people buying it at Walmart yesterday while working so seems like the fans are happy with it too.

Stephenie Meyer really is her own shitty fanfiction author. Reversing the characters won't improve things. If anything it just sets a bad example the other way. Now it's about a female vampire who abuses her male human boyfriend. Its okay,to the people that bitch about it,man can't suffer abuse the same way as woman.It will just be Masochistic Fantasy for men I don't think I ever heard Men's Right Activists ever complain about the abuse Bella suffered. |

I think 50 Shades of Gray takes that prize. Seriously,twilight is bad,,but f*** 50 Shade of Gray,it is much worse. |

Yeah, and 50SoG started out as Twilight fanfiction on top of it.
Both books romanticize abusive relationships, but 50SoG's rubs me the wrong way especially because of how it flagrantly misrepresents that sort of dom/sub relationship.

Good for her. If people are willing to pay her, she should do this.

I can't even bring myself to criticize this simply because it may go down as the laziest idea to rake in bucketfalls of cash ever. It's almost genius in its sheer audacity.

Gotta love an author who sells fan fics she wrote of her own work.

If she wants to do a Twilight spin off, she should focus on Jasper, who is a far more interesting character.
It was only touched upon in the books that he was a former confederate soldier who was turned into a vampire.
That alone sounds much cooler than everything she's ever written about Edward Cullen.

A Confederate soldier turned into a vampire? Yes, that does sound cooler than anything she's ever written about Edward Cullen. |

To be fair, she could write an entire novel about genital herpes and it'd be cooler than anything she's ever written about Edward Cullen.
