It's kind of getting scary the way these fan girl vehemently defend the vampires as if they're real!. So many young girls actually think vampires are real!. Yikes! When you start thinking vampires are real because you read about them in a FICTIONAL novel I think it's time to put the books down for a few days step away and get a little perspective!. Sure we all like to get lost in a good book, but once you put the book down you know that the wonderful story is over (at least you should know)!. I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer growing up so I'm not knocking vampires, but I what I (and most fans) liked about Buffy was the excellent writing and intriguing story lines!. Most fans of Twilight just rhapsodize on and on about Edward as if he were a real person, the don't really seem to care too much about the vampire aspect!. I never knew that her "vampires" couldn't be killed by the sun or by getting a stake through the heart!. It does seem kind of lame!. What's the point!? Where's the conflict!? Why even call them vampires!? Why not just call them good looking pale kids!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, they are just Stephenie Meyer's interpretation of the vampire!. Stephenie's novels are fiction, so are vampires!. Just think of how many different versions of witches, goblins, elves, and mermaids their are!. I love Twilight, but the whole "glitters in the sun" thing got me, but even in Blade their were "day walkers," I think they were hybrids though!. Anyways, she just thinks of them differently, and it's cool that she brought something new and very, very different to the vampire!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well everyone has their own interpretation of how vampires can be!.If you read enough vampire stories from different writers you will see how everyone has their different take on it!.If I were to follow your line of thinking,then I would say no their not just"goth kids"because yes they hunt and yes they drink blood!.But you might say "no their not true vampires because they don't drink human blood"!.We could debate it all day but the point is that you thought this interpretation of vampires was lame!.Thats ok you didn't like it no big deal!.Stick to traditional vampire stories of what you think a vampire should be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

LOL, no!. The two main differences between Twilight vampires and glittery goth kids are:
1) The vampires crave blood!.
2) They're immortal and they don't age!.

They may sparkle in the sun, but glittery goth kids will sparkle in any light - and probably in colors, too!.
They can't be killed by a wooden plank to the heart -- but glittery goth kids can!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

They're not vampires!. Vampires would turn over in their coffins (pun totally intended :D) if those sparkly vegetarians were vampires!.
They are ahem, they are Meyerpires!. Stephenie Meyer's own interpretation!. Her Meyerpires break every rule sacred to vampires, and cannot be labeled such!. If they are vampires, then that is blasphemy!.

Funny!.

Lol

I think it is really cool that Stephenie started a different sort of the myth about good vampires!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow everyone on Yahoo! hates Twilight today!. I think the characters are just Meyer's interpretation of what a vampire could be, rather than the traditional stereotype!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the vampires you originally think of are stereotypic vampires, so stephenie made them more spacial in her imagination, and her story Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like the book says, alot of the things the media potrays about vampires isn't true!. But then again Twilight is a fiction novel!. lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Nah, their hair is too poofy to be goths!.

But they aren't vampires!. They're just movable statues!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
