Battle of the S's (And the sex's)


Who's going to start the 'fight' chant?

Stephen King has just recently said that 'Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn' And I dont know whether Steph has heard this or not, but us loyal fans are quite mad!


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.”

Meeooww!

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.”

I mean if he says that Stephenie Meyer is a bad writer he obviously hasn't read very many books. Yes I give it to the man, he himself writes amazing books but that really doesn't mean he can say that Stephenie Meyer cant write! I really feel like I should show him someone who really can’t write worth a darn, Me! I could write him a story about a gang of crazy girls who all think they are vampires and are all in love with the same guy, who try to trap and torcher (But not kill, they are vegetarian's) an old man who thinks hes better than there creator... Yes, it sounds like a plan! I must go back to my evil Lear and write this epic tale... Or not.
