Twilight: The Death of Feminism

Isn't there a Twilight graphic novel coming out soon? I really worry this is going to give twitards a reason to dress as vampires at anime conventions.

At least the respectable vampire fans will know who to take out behind the tool shed for an appointment with Mr. Shovel.

~yes because alucard in drag is clearly superior to a man whose face looks like a foot~

Stay away from from the bookstores, I saw a stand for that at Angus and Robertson at the weekend.

I am somewhat dreading Supanova this year - all have at least one actor from Twitlight.

Oh Supanova... as much as I would like to go, you always manage to book my most hated actors ever.

In fairness, they are a couple of the wolf-pack, not the sparklepires.
I am going, if only for James Masters at Brisbane, and then Michael Winslow at Sydney.

I think I'm going to go through the first book and highlight and tab any mentions of Edward's physical beauty in any form. I know it's already been done. If anyone's interested in picking things in the book out but would rather not read the book themselves, here's your opportunity to tell me to find it.

(seriously guys anything to make this more interesting for me PLEASE)

I tried to do that once, but I ran out of tabs and didn't feel like buying more.

I saw the first 'Twilight' graphic novel at wal-Mart today. It's done manga style, which means that Bella now looks like she's 13-years-old, and the boys are prettier than she is (though to be fair, Edward was prettier than her in the book, but Jacob as a bishi just doesn't look right).

I was thumbing through the last available copy, and the minute I sat it down on the shelf, it was snatched up by some girl who may have been in junior high. When I left, she was trying to convince her mother how she just HAD to have it, despite already having the entire hardcover series and all the available DVDs.

dramatic readings over Skype?

If that can make The Eye of Argon tolerable, just think of what it'll do for this.

Now that I have access to Skype... I'm all for this.

I'd be up for it. Although I don't know how we normally go about that.

Oooh, dramatic readings sound fun! I'd never be able to do it though, I'd just start giggling through the whole thing.

YES. I miss our Skype adventures.

If I can find a digital copy to follow along I'll play too.

So how does this work?

Same here, just give a time and I shall attempt to be on at that time. (Any night but Friday and Sunday should generally work for me by the way.)

How's Thursday or Friday?

Fuck fuck fuck, have to find the copy someone gave me. No way am I buying this shit.

I'm free Fri-Sun.

I might just want to join in on this. I haven't really used Skype yet.

A title for Inkweaver's paper:

"Why People are Stupid: A Dissection of Twilight"

OR

"Monkeys Flinging Poo: The Results of Twitardism"

OR

"Twilight: Turning Women into Victims Since 2005"

OR

"Box of Rocks or American Readers: Which is Smarter?" (subline: A Discussion of Twilight)

OR

... hell, I could do that all day. I'd better stop now.

EDIT: Also, I would love to be in on the dramatic readings. Just tell me when and where, and I'll be there with bells on. But not literally.

I'm also free for this Fri-Sun, but Friday may be better.
