[Byronic Hero]

So, she's totally not going to redo the entire quadrilogy like this right? Right?!

 

[Razmos]

It'll be totally adorbs when Edyth watches Beau sleep though.

 

[marrec]

So, what do we do if this actually turns out good?

The chances are highly unlikely considering her previous material shows zero signs of being good.

But hey, sure, what if.

So, she's totally not going to redo the entire quadrilogy like this right? Right?!

I can't wait for her to explain how Beau gets preggers.

 

[Slayven]

Surely this is inspired by the 50 Shades writer releasing a new book from the guys perspective?

Either way I hope she uses it as an opportunity to improve on her work
then again it may be more shite

Meyer was going to do that years ago, but it leaked and she shelved it

 

[RumblingRosco]

Keep Jacob the same so we can get a bisexual love triangle going. I can't remember the last time we've had a non-heterosexual vampire story.

 

[GustyGardens]

Doesn't this change a pretty large portion of the end-plot? I mean, one of the big plot points of the book is that Bella almost dies giving birth and is turned in order to save her life.

Nevermind, it seems as this is only the first book.

 

[Darksol]

All writing is "fun, but also really fast and easy" when you don't have talent or standards or the ability to edit.

 

[You Know Nothing]

So, what do we do if this actually turns out good?

Or at least what will I do if I'm able to make it 1 page in which is more than Twilight managed.

 

[Gnome Scat]

So is this like shitty DLC in book form?

 

[marrec]

Somewhere Anne Rice just had a small apoplexy and she probably doesn't know why.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Yeah, that line immediately made me think "I don't know that a real author has ever uttered those words."

Keep Jacob the same so we can get a bisexual love triangle going. I can't remember the last time we've had a non-heterosexual vampire story.

Last time I remember that sort of thing, it was Poppy Z Brite's "Lost Souls", and it was gloriously weird.

 

[Nazgul_Hunter]

She should write a gender-swapped reimagining of 50 Shades of Grey to complete the cycle

Didn't meyer do that first tho? doesn't a book from Edward's perspective already exist?

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Stephenie Meyer announces she would like some more money.

I couldn't tell you a specific example but i'm absolutely certain there's quite a lot non-heterosexual vampire stories. Especially with gay dudes.

 

[RumblingRosco]

I didn't realize Louis and Lestat were gay.

 

[marrec]

I didn't realize Louis and Lestat were gay.

:lol I thought you were serious

 

[ThankYouDaletech]

I didn't realize Louis and Lestat were gay.

All vampires are at least bi.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Didn't meyer do that first tho? doesn't a book from Edward's perspective already exist?

She was writing it, than it got leaked like years and years ago, and she said she felt that the energy was taken out of her...than the fifty shades of grey author came and literally stole her idea lol...again

 

[PeskyToaster]

Can't wait for the forthcoming 50 shades of Grey gender switch

 

[ronito]

come on , there's no way that it'll work with a gender swap. What made Twilight so popular was the idea of a woman that was not stunningly beautiful, had a pretty terrible personality, no real aspirations, no talents she worked for but was suddenly desperately wanted by good looking, highly desirable men.

If you swap the genders none of that works. I mean what guy is going to believe that even though they look like a lump, have a personality of a doorstop and have no aspirations whatsoever would be wanted by not just one but two highly attractive women.....my god.....the fedoras will love this.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Twilight HD remix.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

That Twilight cash vault must be looking dusty.

 

[Tiberius]

Beaufort really ?!

 

[JDSN]

She saw that 50 Shades woman making cash over her Twilight fanfic and wanted the same.

 

[Staccat0]

Heh, that's pretty neat/fun. I don't like her work, so I don't have a reason to be angry or insulted about it and it's kinda cool to see her playing around with something no one should take seriously. Who gives a shit? Let her have fun and make $$$

I really, really doubt this is going to be an unattractive dude.

 

[SArcher]

Ronda Rousey as femJacob.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

I hate that Stephanie Meyer is in the spotlight.

Definitely don't find it upsetting, just completely hilarious.

 

[marrec]

Ronda Rousey as femJacob.

Alright, I'm in for the shirtless Rousey femWolf scenes.

Damnit Meyer you know how to hook em.

 

[Choppasmith]

Funny thing I was watching The first Hotel Transylvania the other night and thought "man, the romance is actually cute and, yes, a better love story than Twilight"

I can't help but think Meyer thought the same thing.

"Aww what a cute couple Mavis and Jonathon are...

...

WAIT A MINUTE!"

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Is this the novel equivalent of Pokemon red/blue?

 

[XenogearsX]

Sounds lazy and uncreative. Just like the original Twilight.

 

[Sub_Level]

#TeamEdythe

Jane is such a basic bitch.

 

[Femmeworth]

What. She's resorting to making fan fiction of her own work.

 

[FO-totality]

Beaufort really ?!

 

[Sophia]

Beaufort and Edythe...?

Beaufort and Edythe...?!

Don't the characters start out as teenagers? When was the last time you saw teenagers named Beaufort and Edythe? o_o;

 

[FyreWulff]

Beaufort and Edythe...?

Beaufort and Edythe...?!

Don't the characters start out as teenagers? When was the last time you saw teenagers named Beaufort and Edythe? o_o;

when white people were allowed to name their kids after 2004

some Kayden and Jaykob ass motherfuckers out there

 

[Lunar15]

It is completely unsurprising that someone who wrote fanfiction decided to write gender-bent fanfiction about her own fanfiction.

I mean, I've got no problem with it, but it's really, really funny to me. It's the most internet-y thing I've seen today.

 

[Amory]

if this means more kristen stewart i'm down

 

[RumblingRosco]

Beaufort and Edythe...?

Beaufort and Edythe...?!

Don't the characters start out as teenagers? When was the last time you saw teenagers named Beaufort and Edythe? o_o;

Beau and Edy are cute names that I'm sure they'll stick with for most of the usage. Isabella went by Bella after all.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

I'm kind of puzzled why there is a "why do you guys criticize bad writing?" sentiment in these kinds of threads.

She saw that 50 Shades woman making cash over her Twilight fanfic and wanted the same.

Funny enough, the 50 Shades writer did this first - she rereleased 50 Shades from Christian's POV.

 

[Paper Sparrow]

Can't wait to see Spoons, Washington.

This is what I'm expecting too. Just switch names and gender pronouns.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

My one wish in life is to be a rich hack that does nothing for society. Why can't it be me, dammit!

 

[Femmeworth]

Beaufort and Edythe...?

Beaufort and Edythe...?!

Don't the characters start out as teenagers? When was the last time you saw teenagers named Beaufort and Edythe? o_o;

It fits her ideas of romance and gender roles.

 

[SchrodingerC]

She should just keep Edward a guy and genbend Bella, it would make a vaguely more interesting story.

 

[patapuf]

I disliked what i read of twilight but clearly a lot of people like the series. That's good enough for a book writer i think.

How does that make it more interesting?
