Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

And wiki let me grab it without going into Teh Craxy:
"Several girls wanted to know if Edward would have a more difficult time being around Bella when she’s having her period. Answer: Yes, a little bit, but he would never say anything about it–much too much of a gentleman. And Bella would be way to embarrassed to ask. (It’s not the same as a cut, though. It’s sort of "dead" blood, if you get my meaning)."
"Q. That time of the month?
A. Yeah, this one's on the lexicon, too. Good call by "...my name..." on the fact that menstrual blood isn't really like normal blood--it's lining and such. Okay, I'm official grossed out now, moving on..."
How can you be a vampire-writin' author and be "grossed out" by blood?! Any blood?

Because she doesn't like vampires, has never read any vampire books, or seen any vampire movies. And has repeatedly said so in interviews. Thus I cling to my desperate notion that the "vampires" in Twilight are actually really, really confused elves or fairies. Hence the sparkle-tastic-ness. BECAUSE THEY'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT VAMPIRES, DAMMIT.
(Whoops, my issues are showing again. And I'm not even wearing the "cranky" bloomers today.)

SMeyer and logic - not to mention consistency - have at best a nodding acquaintance.

I've never read any Twilight, but I would totally read this fanfic.

Me, too.
Oberon shook his head sadly. "No, seriously, Edward. We need to talk about a few things. And after you completely fail to comprehend them, I expect I'll need to tie you up in an elven ring for a month so Puck can repeat them at you over and over and over."

I could see myself answering a similar question with "He likes it on the hoof,okay?" But I'm crude like that. Remind me when Yuletide is over to post a relevant excerpt. Yeah, I would guess that most vamp writers think blood is neat, not gross.

That would require rereading A Midsummer Night's Dream (yay!) and at least one of the Twilight series (er, no thanks). But anyone who wants to run with it is welcome. (Releases bunny into the wild.)
