Yes. I just want to see someone stake Edward in the face...

Heart! I meant in the heart.

How about both? Well, I'm not sure Edward has a heart. His love for Bella seems to be governed by some other organ. -brakes train of thought- -train runs off cliff-

Well, having vampires (or elves or werewolves or dwarfs or...) that break or subvert cliches like the sunlight thing often makes them better and less generic. It's not interesting to read about vampires that are all clones of each other, no matter what author's writing them. Stephenie Meyer...tried. It didn't work very well.

Maybe when she gives them a bit more flesh, our oppinions will change. Maybe when they have progressed further as characters.

I think Meyer specifically tried to destroy practically ALL of the myths surrounding vampire-dom.
Actually, Meyer freely admitted that she knew nothing of vampire myths beyond "drinks blood" and made everything else up as she went.

Ah, that actually helps my opinion.




But.... unless she lives in a cave on the moon, how does she not know about the fatal allergy to sunlight and the fear of all things holy?

She's Mormon...

And it doesn't help IMO - there's such a thing as doing some VERY basic research.

Exactly.

"I don't know anything about vampires!"

"Look it up."

"I don't feel like it."

"Then don't write it."
