Question: Twilight OR Forks!?
SM said that when she first wrote her book "twilight" she wanted to call it Forks!.

Which do you think is the better title!?

Im glad they changed it to twilight, I dont think I would have noticed it if it was called Forks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if it was called forks i probably wouldnt have spared it a second glance!. luckily it wasn't, and now it's my favorite series EVER!!! can't wait for breaking dawn!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

If she called the first book "Forks" then what would she call the next book "Spoons!?" I like "Twilight" better, it makes sense, Twilight is the ending of a day, and Bella technically "ended" her normal life!. New Moon, because she's all alone, until Jake sprung in!.!.!.and Eclipse because she's not alone anymore but in a tough situation between who to choose!. If she chooses one, they "eclipse" the other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Twilight sounds much better!. why would it be called forks, Bella lives in forks and all but then its just relating to something about Bella's life!. if she was using something in Bella's life then she could have called it vampires and new moon werewolves, but once again new moon and twilight sound so much better!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Twilight of course!
It is a representation of how the best time of day for vampires is Twilight; Edward even explained it to Bella in the book!.

"Forks" would sound like a cooking book or something ;-)

or "Forks: the complete guide to modern silverware"
hehe that doesn't sound like a vampire novel at all!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think twilight sounds better and goes better with the book but i probably still would have noticed the book either way!. When the book first came out i noticed it because of its cover lol, I thought it looked really pretty and then i read the summary of it on amazon and thought it sounded pretty good so i bought it ^ ^Www@QuestionHome@Com

personally, i think forks is a cute title!. i didn't really think so when i read it on her site so long ago, but i do now!.
twilight is definitely mysterious, so they both have their ups!.

i agree though, i'm not sure it would have stood out as much if it were called Forks!. but hey, we'll never really know!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Twilight, because a twilight is basically a beginning and an end!. and that's what that book is about!.

Honestly, though, I WOULD have picked the book up if it was called "Forks"!. Silverware titles aren't something you see every day!.

Twilight is much better than the title Forks; it's more mysterious-sounding!.

With the title Forks, I would have automatically thought "Like silverware!?" when I saw the cover!.

And besides, what would Twilighters be called!? Forkers!? Heh!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Twilight!. It sounds so much more mysterious and it's so much more abstract!. And it has a hidden meaning!. I mean Forks!? Where's the hidden meaning in that!? xDWww@QuestionHome@Com

twilight is waaay better!! if it was titled forks!.!.i dont think i wouldve read it lol and what would she name the next one!? spoons and then sporks and then what!? knives!? hahahaWww@QuestionHome@Com

She probably realized that "Forks", while obviously relevant to the story, would remind people too much of the utensil rather than the town!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like Twilight better!. She titled it Forks because it needed a title and she couldn't think of anything better at the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like Twilight!. With the other titles, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, it seems like that title makes more senseWww@QuestionHome@Com

WAYYYYYY better choice!. I mean, Forks, come on Steph!.!.!.!.

I wouldn't have even taken a second glance at it if it were titled 'Forks'!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Forks, spoons, knives!.!.!.whatever!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Twilight is better!. I doubt anyone would pick it up if it was "Forks"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i like the twilight as the the title it is way better than forksWww@QuestionHome@Com

Twilight!.!.!. It has a metaphor to it and it sounds nice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
