Every girl at my school is wearing that t-shirt. Gah. Everyone was telling me all about Twilight and how much I would love it, because it is about vampires.
It sucks and blows.
There's already lots of Suefic for it, according to my friend who likes Twilight fanfic-basically they replace "Bella" with their own name.
Ah, yes. That. by

I've heard it's very little like the book. I'm probably going to go see it when the fuss dies down a bit, though. I'm actually kind of excited. Is it perverse that I kind of look forward to doing some Twilight missions?

But I have read the book. It is fanfiction. The main character is textbook Sue and her love interest is a terrifying stalker portrayed as the Perfect Guy. The plot is treated as a necessary evil by the author, much more attention is paid to the love interest's changing eye colour and scary good looks. Oh, and of course the main character who is so selfless and beautiful and modest and kind while still being a total brat, treating her friends like crap and deliberatly making her life harder for herself so that she can angst.
Yes it is a form of canon, so we have a duty to protect it, but there is nothing the movie can do for Twilight that the book hasn't already done. Actually, considering what I've heard, the movie should be signifigantly better than the book (this is not hard) so it might even be good for the fandom.
*hopes no one here actually likes Twilight because that could make things awkward.*
