 * Short answer: I find them pathetic, and there is a good chance that further research may conclude that they suck.


 * Long answer: Frozen apples is probably the best one, and by best, I mean "best." Mostly just a bunch of young male Harry Potter fans with too much time on their hands. They're the same Anonymous Users who come and vandalize this site all the time. From what I've noticed, they're generally pre-teen & teen boys who are consistently rejected by girls that love Twilight, and are bitter about it. Frozen Apples does a lot of comparing Twilight to H.P., & also expends a lot of energy trying to debunk Twilight through "scientific" reasoning. (as if Twilight is not a fantasy-based story) I especially like how they complain constantly that Stephenie should have used magic to explain some of the concepts in Twilight that don't seem to follow scientific explanations from the real world. (since this is all that is ever done in H.P. - ie. such-and-such is absurdly unbelievable, except for the fact that it was magically done with a magical magic spell, and therefore perfectly logical from a magically magical standpoint) They also complain about the fact that the Meyerpires or Sparklepires (as they call Twilight Vampires) are not the same, and do not adhere to the same "rules" as every other vampire from every other vampire story, movie, novel, cartoon, etc., etc. ad nauseam. Can anyone tell me exactly how many vampire stories are out there where the vamps 1. are burned by sunlight, 2. are thwarted by garlic/holywater/crosses 3. sleep in coffins, 4. are all bloodthirsty killers who feed exclusively on humans, 5. turn into bats, 6. have conventional "fangs," 7. Die from a stake through the heart, 8. like to count things.... & on, & on, & on - you get my point. I'm sorry, but I'm glad someone finally got a little creative & came up a different idea of what vampires could be. It's like saying that if you write a sci-fi space adventure story that doesn't conform to star trek, starwars, or real life "rules," it's automatically crap. The nifty thing about writing your own unique novel, is that you get to make things however you damn well please for them to be, & it doesn't matter how other people want your characters to act or be. If you don't like it, write your own, or don't read the ones that seem to annoy you so much.
