Conversion to Twilightism?

Yesh, this is the part of the board where we explain how the hell we started to like Twilight.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lari who had NEVER EVER EVER read Twilight.

"Why not?" called out a Twilight fangirl.

"Because everyone else was reading it, and I didn't wanna follow the crowd," Lari explained irritably.

But one day at THEATRE CAMP -dundunDUUUUUUUN- the Twilight fangirls cornered her and told her, "read our bible, and we shall not harm your tortillas."

Scared for the sake of her tortillas, Lari read the book that the head fangirl had nearly shoved up Lari's nose (BTW, Twilight doesn't smell all that good xD).

Lari began reading it, and realized it was literary crack! So she read Twilight...then New Moon....then Eclipse.... (because this was before Breaking Dawn):

During Twilight, she fell in love with Edward Cullen, then realized he was a CREEPER!!

During New Moon, Lari started to like Jasper because he tried to kill Bella. But Lari didn't fall in love with Jacob, 'cause wolves weren't her style.

Then Eclipse came, and she realized, "OMG JASPER'S REALLY HOT AND I WANNA BE ALICE!!"

And then Breaking Dawn...when Jasper left, Lari cried, 'cause no Jasper makes for a terrible book.

The End -slams book shut-

I got into Twilight back in 2005 when it first came out, back when I was still writing fanfiction.

I was with these other Kingdom Hearts/Naruto writers (I was a Narutard for the first story arc when they were all still in school so BACK OFF) and there were like, "READ THIS BOOK. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!"

So I was like, "Mmkay, whatever." I read, thought it was okay for a first time author, and quickly forgot about it. I skipped over New Moon, read Eclipse, hated Jacob, went back to New Moon, kind of liked Jacob and stayed with it because of Jacob.

Oh and Rosalie, because she was the only one I could relate to, being the bitch and all. (In that case, same goes for Jessica and Lauren, though Jessica wasn't a bitch to begin with.)

Read Breaking Dawn. That book killed it for me, not that I was obsessed in the first place. I was a fanfiction writer so I knew a fanfiction when I saw one.

Breaking Dawn = REALLY. BAD. TWILIGHT. FANFICTION.

I broke away from the Twilight crowd, THANK GOD because afterwards the fanbase got super mega ultra crazy. Also, I don't get why people fantasize about a creeper and being in love with him.

AND WHERE WERE THE GAY VAMPIRES?! LESTAT AND LOUIS ANYONE?! HOW ABOUT LESBIAN VAMPIRES! HUH?!
