Buffy ,'Him'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I may have to sneak a martini shaker into the theater.
I'm planning on going to one of those fancy theaters that serves food & alcohol, so I don't have to bother with smuggling flasks of absinthe with me again. Instead, helpful staff will bring me booze!
For those of you who have read both- is Twilight more or less horrifying than Flowers in the Attic?
I would say more horrifying. It's been decades since I've read Flowers in the Attic, but I don't remember the lead female character (Christine?) being as spineless and vapid as Bella Swan. Plus, by the time you get to the last Twilight book, you've got the werewolf imprinting on the infant half-vampire and other WTFery.
I've heard that after reading the last Twilight book, some of the fans are swearing off sex altogether. Twilight: Scared Sexless?
The whole Twilight series is one long exercise in badfic.
Flowers in the Attic had a bizarre premise, but no more bizarre than other vaguely gothic potboiler type of stories, and at least Catherine was a fighter, and sort of amusing.
Jilli, linky to Cleolinda's recap? Also, re: your whitefont, wasn't there a similar birth in Lost Souls? But the mom doesn't survive ?

I would so go with you.

Perhaps that was Meyers' plan all along? MWahahaha!
Part one of Cleolinda's recap! [link]
smonster, about your whitefont, yeah, the birth scene in Lost Souls is vaguely similar, but the vampire infant chews its way out of its mother. In Breaking Dawn, EdwardSparklepire opens Bella up so they can remove the infant.
Which is why I wanted David Cronenberg to direct, dammit!
Personally, the whole incest of the Flowers series is way squickier for me than the whole imprinting thing, which oddly, I get. As far as the context of wolves and half-vampire/half-humans.
