My journal
A collection of my pointless existence.
Twilight Contest
Twilight Contest


If you can complete the challenge you will win a big prize.

The Prize

Approximately 340,000 gold value. The value is the tektek value of all my stuff as of 6/19/2009 since I am too lazy to look it up on marketplace. There will also be 63,000 gold minimum also as of said date.



The Challenge

I think the series sucks. Mostly I think the negative publicity is because of idiot fans who obsess over the series which makes them just look stupid. It's stupid seeing so many obsessive fans telling me I "suck" or "am stupid" for disliking the series. They try to talk me into reading a story I don't especially care for. Explain why such obsession for the series is justified. If you can give a good reason that this book is worth the cultish obsession the prize is yours.




The Rules

You must follow these guidelines. If you do not your answer will be rejected.

1. Only answer in a comment in this journal entry. PMs, profile comments, or messages sent to other locations will be ignored. Feel free to submit more than one explanation if you want. Just as long as they are posted here.

2. Keep an eye on this journal entry for counter ideas. If your logic fails I will probably tell you so. If your logic is reasonable I will say so.

3. I will attempt to be respectful in return I ask that you be respectful to me and each other.

4. Use an intelligent response. Just read the book yourself and you will see why it's awesome I have heard over and over what the story is about and it is not what I am interested in. The backs of books have a story description too. I'm not asking to be convinced to read it. I am simply asking to be convinced that the obsession is justifiable.

Because girls aged 13-17 can't get vampire boyfriends.

I say,
[ "Edit: Well, then people obsess over it because they wish to have that life. Which means their lives suck."]
I am done saying
what needed to be said. :'D

"Obsession" and "Logic" are mutually exclusive concepts. "Logic" and "Reason" are synonyms, and "Justify" means "to find reasonable". Ergo, the obsession is by definition not justifiable.

Llama: Well that's not a very good reason for such fanatical devotion.

Situashuns: Giving the audience an element they can relate to is vital for any story. That makes a story alright to like, but still does not make such unhealthy obsessions acceptable.

Fresnel: That's kind of my entire point. Most twifags who are overly obsessive to the series think there is nothing wrong with their cultish devotion. If they can understand that then the purpose of this has been fulfilled.

They obsess because it's just another story that gives them something to believe in. It also is because of every girl wanting that sort of relationship: forbidden and irresponsible. It's a turn-on to girls that have no life and have never been in love.
