  1. I know I posted this in the other Twilight thread, but I'm guessin' this one is more orientated towards the books:

    LOS ANGELES - Stephen King’s opinion may drive a stake through the heart of “Twilight” author Stephenie Meyer.

     

    In an interview with USA Weekend, the bestselling author compared Meyer with J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series.

     

    According to Stephen, “Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

     

    While Stephen may not be a fan of Stephenie’s writing, he understands the appeal of the series.

     

    “People are attracted by the stories, by the pace, and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it’s very clear that she’s writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it’s not particularly threatening because it’s not overtly sexual.”

     

    He further explains, “A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like, the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that’s a shorthand for all the feelings that they’re not ready to deal with yet.”

    Stephen King FTW! Easily one of my favourite authors, although, I keep meaning to read IT all the way through.

  3. Nah, she wouldn't let me submit that one, jus' goes to show why a diet consisting almost entirely of chuff nuts isn't a very healthy option, apparently it causes dementia and makes you take offence at things that no one else finds offensive.

     

    I made another one.

     

    The second one wasn't as good, imo.

     

    Thanks, though.

  4. Would you care to explain why you left my wallpaper out?

     

    I feel inclined to believe that it's because you're a cunt, a relatively simple reason that I can't honestly see you proving otherwise.

     

    I can't be certain, but I think there's the possibility that thalidomide might've had something to do with it.
