It's Official! Chris Weitz To Direct 'Twilight' Sequel: Helmer Reassures Fans. Includes a "signed" public letter to that effect. Godspeed you, brave soul. And ask your leads if you can share their stash.

Slow seduction of ‘Twilight’ fans has its roots on the Internet. *takes notes*

Rolling Stone pokes the crazy, pulls choicest bits for your delectation: "We had hours of enjoyment this week thanks to the efforts of Robert Pattinson fans and Jonas Brothers fans as the two sects attempted to out-crazy each other." Is the "Josephine" comment... a poem? Seriously?

The Twilight Before Christmas.

If 'Twilight' Was 10 Times Shorter And 100 Times More Honest.

Why I'll stick my neck out for Twilight, featuring a Fifteen Minutes shoutout.

It's worse than just a pillowcase, you guys: DO NOT WANT.

That bed set would give me NIGHTMARES! o_O

When did RPattz ever do a book signing?

[huehau.livejournal.com]

When did he ever write a book?

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Wait... so he's ok with The Amber Spyglass and The Subtle Knife being put on indefinate hold and wants to be associated with the tripe that is Twilight????

There are no words.

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Oh, and it's rather creepy seeing one's maiden name associated with the tripe that is Twilight. The husband says it's freaky. LOL.

[emmaorgana.livejournal.com]

OMG WTF BEDSPREAD.

DO NOT WANT

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I eagerly await the day when the Twilight merchandise makers are honest with themselves and come out with the Edward Cullan Sparkle™ Vibrator.

After all, Smeyer would be the first in line to buy one.

[angevin2.livejournal.com]

The packaging would advise you to store it in the freezer for the most realistic sparklepire experience!

[cassildra.livejournal.com]

I need to log into JF more--I missed Sparklefield entirely.

Ew, bedspread set :(

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

That bedspread set leaves me speechless. What a horrible picture of Edward.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

THE ORIGINAL WILL EAT YOUR SOUL (http://www.impawards.com/2008/twilight_ver2.html)

[oohasparklie.livejournal.com]

I adore LJ Smith, so thank you for that link!

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

OMG on the Edward sheets! I have no words.

[3-foot-6.livejournal.com]

That bedspread has given me the fantasy of meeting RPattz somewhere, striking up a conversation, completely casually, like I have no idea who he is, inviting him back to my place, leading him to my bedroom...and having that all set up on my bed. Just to see the look on his face.

Yeah, even my fantasy self thinks it would be more fun to torture the poor guy than sleep with him, if given the chance. Who wants to sit next to me on the Bus to Hell?

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

... There are no words. Too awesome.

[robinmc.livejournal.com]

I have to say, considering that the books are all about abstinence, basically giving the fangirls a chance to sleep with Edward Cullen seems like a bit of a mixed message.

[lesbiassparrow.livejournal.com]

Yes, but true to the books nothing would happen. And this way Edward's stalking fetish can be enjoyed chastely by girls the world over.

If 'Twilight' Was 10 Times Shorter And 100 Times More Honest.

Eee, it's by Rod Hilton! I didn't know The Editing Room was still going -- I still had the old URL bookmarked from years ago (probably 1999 or 2000) and that site hadn't been updated in forever. I love The Editing Room so much... and his Twilight abridged script is hilarious.

[jess-lyons.livejournal.com]

KRISTEN STEWART: I love you. Put a baby in me.

buhahahahaha

[saramiskismet.livejournal.com]

Also I ejaculate boiling venom, so I'd need to wear like fifty condoms.

I think it hurts just to think about that D:

Twilightlexicon.com, a Web site that, last summer, broke from overuse.

HAH, WHAT? YOU CANNOT DOWNPLAY THE AWESOME THAT WAS THE LEXHACK OR THE REASONS BEHIND IT.

[saramiskismet.livejournal.com]

.... scratch that. They're purposefully skewing the reason to turn it from something seriously negative to something utterly complimentary.

[naeelah.livejournal.com]

What the shit?? (re: the ProJo article on ONTD) What is this new "internet" you speak of? And I see, the Lexicon "broke from overuse." Here I thought I had the whole story.

The only movie related merchandise that could be more horrifying than that Edward blanket is an Arachnaphobia bedding set with a 5 foot tarantula on it. With 'realistic' fur applique.

Also, clearly I do not read my JF friends list often enough, because I had no idea there was a sparkle community there. *joins*

[mollywobbles867.livejournal.com]

lol Does it really say the Lexicon broke from overuse? lol I didn't read the whole thing, but now I will. wtf. lol

[mollywobbles867.livejournal.com]

It's always bothered me that SMeyer reads fanfic. I don't know why. I can understand taking a peek out of curiosity, but reading one that was so long? That's narcissism to the extreme. Oh wait, I forget that SMeyer = Bella. lol Carry on.

Now, if she wrote some epic OOC fanfic...oh wait...nm. *points to Breaking Dawn*

That 10 times shorter and more honest script was fucking hilarious.

Bedsheets...

...

...

....

[huehau.livejournal.com]

Has she publicly admitted to reading fanfic? Because if she has, she's opening herself up to potential lawsuits in the future. There's a reason why authors don't read fanfic and it's so they can say, "I can't have stolen that idea from So'N'So because I don't read fanfic."

[anxietygrrl.livejournal.com]

I love that the response to Rolling Stone's point-and-laugh at the teenyboppers is for them to start it all up again in the comments of that article. Bless your hearts, fanbrats. Never change.

[rosefox8.livejournal.com]

Okay, the Edward bedding made me shriek out loud.

My friend Charlotte is here at my house, and she's very active on the message boards for True Blood. She says that there is a group of women on the boards so enamored of Bill (Stephen Moyer's Bill, not book series Bill), that they refuse to read past the second book, because the third book and beyond is where Sookie and Bill's relationship... um, well, that would be a spoiler, but anyway... they would probably want a bed set with Moyer's face on it. Charlotte would probably go for a bed set with Alexander Skarsgard's face on, but only for the haha value -- the lulz, as it were. She and I love the books and we tend to laugh at the fangirls who take the show OH SO SERIOUSLY.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh God. I love him, but... um, no. I'm not happy about where I've heard the characters' relationship is going, but that's because all I know is TV!Bill, and also, I can understand how you wouldn't necessarily want to run the same-old same-old relationship into the ground for eight books.

How in the world can you take that show seriously?

[ppyajunebug.livejournal.com]

Um, so, my friend who is a big fan of Twilight in general saw that picture of the bed and was like "THAT IS THE CREEPIEST THING EVER."

Also, way to tell you may have problems with your roommate? She has that bed set.

[adamantflower.livejournal.com]

It's worse than just a pillowcase, you guys:

WHAT THE FUCK.

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

That MySpace video is made of win!

[stareyednight.livejournal.com]

I followed the link for the 'Why I stick my neck out...' article in a new window, and thought I'd accidentally clicked on the website for my fiance's newspaper. It made us both giggle uncontrollably to think that an Adelaide-ian paper reffed you, Cleo. But of course, this is where I bought my copy of M15M.

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

Ooh, was it at the big Borders on Rundle Mall? I miss that place...

[divadeanna.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, he wrote a letter to the fans.....*sigh*

Okay, I understand the sentiment behind it. But really? I just.....it shouldn't be like that, you know? He shouldn't have to feel the need to do that.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, they also had one from "Rob and Kristen" the Saturday that the movie came out announcing that New Moon was going forward. I'd imagine it's a studio flack writing the letters (with the oversight of whoever is involved) and attaching a scan of signatures they have on file.

[psychovmhpgrl77.livejournal.com]

The idea of Twilight sheets in theory doesn't sound bad, provided you imagine the cartoon looking type like the Harry Potter ones and not the Edward is always there kind. Love the If Twilight was 10 Times Shorter thing.

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

OMG THE BEDSHEETS WTF. And srsly, the comments about planning to buy it and hump it mercilessly on lion_lamb remind me an awful lot of that chick who was proud to be fucking her doll (http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/1149054.html). *flails*

Also, there needs to be a pay per view event of an ultimate cage deathmatch between Twitards and Jonas Bros fans, because that would be awesome like hot dogs.

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

LOL. I used the EXACT same icon when commenting about the sheets from hell. Good to know my feelings weren't isolated.
