My short review of the twilight book.
(My Twilight movie review, from two weeks ago.)
I've tried to be fair, but personal opinion will always shine through. -

If it were a story, it would be PPC worthy. I found this over in the rant of SomethingPositive, a very good read www.soemthingpositive.net

You were talking about PPCing the Hermione/Eragon one, right? I got a little confused there.
And no, I'm quite sure that most people wouldn't enjoy the Twilight books. Honestly, I'm not even sure why I like it, however mildly. -

I wouldn't. They sparkle.
Really, I know I've mentioned this in every forum I have at my disposal to contact you. This is because I cannot get over this. They're vampires. So they sparkle in sunlight. On behalf on all Transylvania I am headdesking. -
I'm just mentally separating it from all actual vampires by

*coughhackbiologicallyat-least-semi-viablevampirismsneeze* Sorry, pet crusade. But the anathema does give a potential explanation for avoiding sunlight!
Er, let me know if you want me to say what it is. I'm prone to rambling about this book so I won't start of my own accord :) -

I was just about to say, this sounds like a case for Trojie by

The idea that vampires could evolve is definitely right up her alley. (We're talking about the woman that worked out that, cladistically speaking, unicorns are goats, remember.) I think the sunlight thing's in there because notions of vampires draw rather more heavily on supernatural methods of thinking than evolutionary and scientific ones. You might as well question the possible evolutionary benefits to having your innards on fire.
But yes, as soon as Trojie's back from her convention, let's sit down and work this one out properly. -
Indeed. And if you want evolutionary stuff... by

The book made an attempt to explain their venom and such, though there were big logica gaps; I'll get us the raw material to work from. :)

But aren't you meant to be doing conferences now? Which means no being online? And yet you still answer Board posts but are not, for example, online for me to ramble at you?
Yes. Discussions of vampire biology shall commence as soon as, uh, uni coursework has sodded off. -
Yes, I'm at a conference... by

I'd love to hear the explanation behind that. Are you folks on AIM? MSN? Otherwise, Trojie has my e-mail.

She's buggered off to a conference, but I'll see if I can find the email she sent me about it.

Yeah, that's the one. No one else claimed it, so I did. I might even bump it up the list. It should be a relatively easy mission with lots to poke fun at. I just have to decide whether Hermione is replaced or just thoroughly possessed. Eragon is probably in character except for having no memory of his actual life, but I haven't finished reading the fic yet.
