Just for fun...
Just for fun... Anyone want to rewrite Twilight? Get rid of all the purple prose, horrendous morals, and poorly developed characters? We'd still stick to the same basic plot, obviously, but we could get rid of the sparkles!
Anyone want to give it a shot? Not a parody mind, but a serious rewrite?

((Regarding all of TNO's posts: those all seem like good ideas, except don't make Izzy (which is so muh less Mary-Sueish, and therefore a much better name) so great at choir, because she's so perfect already in so many other ways...
OH, and by the way! I read the first 183 pages of Twilight over the weekend! *faints* It was AWFUL! OH, it was horrendous! (Although haha, I found the claustrophobic van.) I cannot express how repulsive it was. I mean, Bella was such an awful character! She was so perfect- "Ooh, I've already studied cellular anatomy, I think I'll reread Wuthering Heights just for fun, I finished my homework in one hour, I love grocery shopping"- and yet so stupid! And inconsistent! What was with the whole: "Oh, everyone will hate me, I hope I make friends," "Oh, lookie, I have atracted a whole posse of BFFs and boyfriends wannabes in one day," "Ohnoohno, I don't like having all these friends- it makes me feel so torn!" ?? AND I found innumerable grammar and spelling errors... aargh, it was... just... :(
Sorry, I know this isn't a rant thread. Please excuse my long, whiny paragraph.))

This is great! :) I actually find mushbrained Bella interesting. Oh! Maybe Ed smokes?! Maybe it quenches his thirst for blood? Or maybe he's just pretending to be Izzy's boyfriend because he . . . *shrug* Dunno. And no more sneaking into Izzy's room and staaaaaring at her in the middle of the night!!! Or he still does that and she's creeped out or disgusted or something!? And, wild crazy idea, could she be a goth?! Or a vegetarian?! Or she's really athletic?! Or her dream is to be a volunteer worker in Africa?! Just something to make her interesting!! (And maybe she goes through a crisis, and starts smoking and graffitiing the school and--okay, going to far, right?) And maybe Jacob's her best friend and he has a crush on her, but she has no idea?! Or maybe she doesn't like Ed, her boyfriend is Mike, (could we change his name to something more interesting?! At least Mikey!?) but Ed stalks her, and finally she goes in a trance, and starts following him around everywhere, and everyone's all like "Huh?", and then THEY (Jessica, Mike, Eric, Jacob, whatever) figure out that Ed's a vampire, and, dunno, save her, and she's GRATEFUL for once . . . ?! *pant, pant, pant SPUTTER* Wild brainstorming. What you guys think? I gotta go now. I'm still in my PJs. *runs off* I WILL BE BACK!!

Haha like it, "Trixy"! Does that make your new nickname "YXirT", or are you still "XirTalleB"?
(May 18, 2009 - 4:06 pm)
Haha, you got rid of the Bella part. Good choice.
Smoking and grafitting... doesn't she actually do stuff like that in the second book?
Yees, we could make Edward a psycho stalker (which he sort of, um, already is?), and maybe Izzy could actually feel nicely towards Mike? Or Tyler... Tyler was pretty good, until he started worshiping her, and, as she put it, trying to "make amends."
NO, NO, please no vegetarians! A vegetarian vampire is plenty for one series! ;)
I like Trixy better than BellaTrix, fyi. :)

((So what're we doing, my Carlisle the mad doctor/concieted elitist idea, or the other one?))

the name, I mean.

Um... you hadn't read it before?

Not ugly in the sense of "ugly." Just normal characteristics, you know, prone to breakouts, frizzy hair, normal, but not a monster.

Phoenix! You're back! You were paired up with Ema but you didn't show up, so she got a different partner. Whatappened? (Anyway, I agree.)

Ummm....what plot?

The James-the-normal-vampire bit crammed into the last thirty pages. ;P

This is totaly awesome!! I really like the idea of doing a reverse Twilight. If you don't mind here are some of my ideas. Maybe Bella(oops I mean Izzy) actually likes Jacob, or has had a crush on him for like, forever instead of totally just shunning him. maybe Edward can actually hate Izzy, instead of just pretending. OR, he can be a deluded stalker, your choice. Maybe Izzy can have a pet, that Edward decides looks yummy and then she finds him sucking the life out of her pet(a cat? a snake?) and tries to kill him, it doens't work and she figures out that he is a vampire. Like 'em? Hate 'em? Will these things work?
(May 19, 2009 - 3:29 pm)
That's a magnificent idea... making Izzy feel emotions for someone other than Edward? *gasp*
Yes, forgot the truck, sorry. My bad. :/
The Carlisle ideas sound really good; I endorse going wth those.
