Description
This was a fun meme to do. Hell, I almost wish I HAD written Twilight, now.I guess I would sort of take it seriously, whereas the original is almost a spoof of itself.

That paragraph at the end made me want to read your version.

Awesome~
Really, the characters in the story were either too shallow or too 'extreme' in their personality, not good.
That last little snippet of your writing actually made me want to read more

I HAD to comment after reading the entirety of this; and all I have to say, is that you're a damn good writer. Cause that bit at the end? GENIUS.

Thank you! I'm glad you commented.
So sad Stephenie Meyer wrote Twilight first. ANYBODY would've done better.

..If you wrote twilight, I'd read it.
More or less because your take interests me far more than even the first few chapters of twilight did, and you hardly wrote a few paragraphs.

I'd take that as a compliment but to be honest, the back of my toothpaste is more interesting. I mean, that stuff about the plaque? INTENSE, dude!

Lol, I know right?
And how can someone ACCIDENTALLY swallow more than the intended dose?

...Your changes are interestesting, and a neat solution to the problems I had with the series o.o

Thank you. You just had ONE problem?
Unless that problem was the author, in which case I understand.

Well, mostly I thought SMeyer gave an interesting take to the vampire and werewolf mythos... and it's a highschool romance; she thought sparkles worked better for that setting than Nosferatu. It wasn't until the patterns of emotional abuse by the entire love triangle were firmly set that I just thought, "whatever, I want to see Volturi kick sweet sparkly ass." (that, and the hope they'd just grow the hell up and learn to... ugh. *moot point*)
I really don't have a problem with Meyer.

I liked your version of this meme a lot better than most of the ones I've read... your characters are a lot less Sue-ish than others.

Thank you! Though I don't think anybody but me took it seriously.
btw: your icon makes me giggle.

hm, with the little bit you added at the end, it would actually be a good book. woah.

I sort of like it 
Question: would u change the sparlyness of the vampire race? if so, what would be your reason for them to stay out of the sun?

Feel free to name your kid Jakeypoo!
---Question: would u change the sparlyness of the vampire race? if so, what would be your reason for them to stay out of the sun?
---Well, Smeyer's whole reasoning for the glitterfied vampires was to attract humans. Apparently, we just go, 'Ooh shiny!' and amble toward whatever we see. That's why Important Items in video games are all sorts of shiny. This makes a bit of sense in that many creatures have physical attributes specifically to attract prey. A lot of the times, they look like prey themselves, but being something physically appetizing isn't unheard of.
Now, one could say this is the entire essence of Twilight. Take that out and you've just got a plain old (deplorable) fanfiction about a Mary Sue and her abusive boyfriend.
However, it's really hard to fear something that sparkles. Yeah, yeah that's the whole point but I think a vampire being attractive is enough. So I'd take away the sparkles.
Instead of just making them embarassed to show their glittery faces in the sunlight, I'd have it be a real weakness in that sunlight hurts. Their eyes adapt to night vision and become super sensitive to light, and their sun is really vulnerable to burning. Not just sunburns (though, ugh) but turning to third-degree burns. Left out long enough in direct sunlight, it could cook them. They've got virtually no natural protection.
That special sunscreen that albino people get prescribed, that can help for short bursts, so long as the light is filtered through heavy clouds, or they're not sitting directly in the shaft of light through the window.
Good question! Out of curiousity, I post your own question back at you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The problem with going with the old fashioned vulnerable-to-burning scenario is that the vulturi suddenly have no place to fit it the plot line. But that can always be tweaked and stuff.
What would I do?
To tell you the truth i'm not quite sure. I've never been overly interested in vampires (too cliche) so I've never tried to write about one. I would stick to the sunburns, or if I were trying to be origional i would say its a built in phobia. When the poison changes their blood it also imprints an extreme adversion to sunlight. Like, say, a clostrophobic, when they're exposed to sunlight they either freeze up and can't move or they go crazy and will to anything to escape it.
Or you could say it brings out their natural beast. A reaction either psyciological to the sun or chemical to the UV rays sends them on a rampage, and they can't help but start killing people. That would be a situation in which the vulturi would fit in nicely

What plot line? I didn't see a plot in the books. Where is it? Was there a paragraph I missed?
If I rewrote Twilight, the following books might tangentially adhere to the overall . . . I don't know if plot is the right word but . . . well a few of the events, I'd keep. At least, I probably would in New Moon since it would fit but Eclipse was just sort of . . . nothing happened. And of course, Breaking Dawn is . . . that's unfixable. If I put the Vulturi in there, it would be something, I don't know, meaningful.
Yeah, I'm not a vampire person either. Ooh, built-in-phobia thing is interesting.

muhahaha XD Nope, you didn't miss anything.

I'm just going to say something about the whole name and character thing:
-my name is ruined for the rest of eternity
-my parents also had a divorce (coincidence)
-I also blamed myself (once again, scary coincidence)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sorry about the divorce. Note that I wasn't bashing people NAMED Bella/Isabella. I've met a few people whose parents divorced and that does seem to be the general feeling: that they somehow caused the divorce.
Srsbsns aside, the coincidence would be worse if you lived in Washington with your dad. And you had a boyfriend named Edward. At that point, I'd just be suing the snot out of Stephenie Meyer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol I would too... but I don't, I live in Louisiana with a boyfriend named something else

I think I might actually have liked it if you wrote it. o.O;

Dude if you wrote Twilight I would actually read it, and I don't like vampire novels! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. And I don't like them much, either.
Though Bunnicula was fun when I was a kid.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I would actually most likely read your version since it sounds far better than what SMeyer came up with.
Please tell me you'd do away with the "I sparkle and am therefor a ferocious killer!" bull.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm sorry but I'd keep the ferocious killer part. And by 'keep' I mean 'put in'. As for the sparkles, yeah I'd do away with that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I didn't mean get rid of the ferocious killer part. Just the "I sparkle therefore I must be a monster" bullshit XD Last I checked, I've heard of more fearsome monsters who instilled fear without the use of glitter glue.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It puts the glitter on the skin or else it gets the hose again.

This is AWESOME!
I know, right? I filled this out myself (couldn't resist) and I gotta say, now I wish I HAD written it too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If people did, there'd be a lot of the same named books around, but ALL AWESOME (except for the original)
