What do 당신 think about Stephenie Meyer?

I don't like her from what I know about her. I feel bad for her fans, I think they deserve better.
She has zero tolerance for criticism, even from 팬 who just don't like everything she does.
When things get leaked, she tells her 팬 they've "broken [her] heart" and threatens to stop 글쓰기 because she's so depressed now. Things get leaked all the time. It's not right for her to emotionally manipulate and punish her true fans, making them feel guilty for something they had nothing to do with.
I also really don't like how often she brushes 질문 off with "it's fantasy/fiction" 또는 "you're 읽기 too much into it." All fiction has deeper messages. She may not be a decent enough writer to control the messages, but she still needs to take responsibility for the values her 책 are teaching her young audience. She has an opportunity to encourage young people to be critical and look for meaning beneath the superficial, but she's doing the exact opposite.

당신 have a fair and vaid point about her, not blaming her for her book. Personally, I don't mind the book, its mediocre entertainment, so is the film, but Stephenie Meyer gets under my skin.

a) 의해 읽기 some of what she has said, she has an air of arrogance about her, she compares her characters to Pride and Prejudice and Romeo and Juliet.

b) peoples adoration for her bugs me, saying she is the 다음 Anne Rice/ Shkespeare/Bram Stoker etc. She is not even close to them.

c) She says indeotic and illogical things, and she lives 의해 her own hyporacy. 의해 that I mean she says tht femanism is choice for woman, and woman being able to choose, and there for Twilight isn't anti-femanist, yet if 당신 read an 기사 here about it, you'll see that Bella had no choice at all. She has also criticized other plots for flaws which are in her plot.

d) I 사랑 Anne 쌀 and her books, and Stephenie Meyer said "Eww" and "yuck" in response to the film.

e) she doesn't explain herself, and then blames the audience. Its obvious Bella is Stephenie Meyer, but she denies it, I'm ok with Bella being Stephenie Meyer, most authors base characters off themselves, its the easiest and most used tool. But she denies it so it bugs me. The theres the sparkly vampires. Again got no problem with sparkling vampires. But when Stephenie Meyer was aproached about it she came up with an illogical explination, then she changed that explinationto an even 더 많이 illogical one, and then turned around with "Its not my problem" - Honey, its your ill-explained book, it is your problem. She could have said it was magic, I would have accepted that.

f) Her book subtley gives out all the wrong messages about what is an healthy relationsip. The tweens are very impressionable and especially as Bella is their age and is a girl(in school in psychology lesson we learn what kind of people are impressionable on us, Bella is a perfect role model for tweens). There are the anti-femanist messages, there are the abusive spouse messages, there is the throw a strop to get what 당신 want, theres the drama 퀸 messages. These tweens are too young to disregard a lot of this behaviour as just fiction.


So there are my reasons. I don't hate the woman, hell no, but I do dislike her =D

p.s. sorry forthe bad spelling didn't spell chack a lot of it as Im in a rush, hope its understandable.

I don't think she's insane and I don't care enough about her to hate her. However, I think she's an anti-feminist that belongs in the 19th century, yet she insists upon saying Bella is a strong independent woman. Excuse me? Deciding whether you're cooking 스파게티 또는 물고기 on your own is not being independent in my book. Apart from that, I think she's smug and arrogant and that, instead of trying to provide solid, adult arguments to defend her work, she'll just whine as if she was Bella (she is, but 당신 know what I mean) and say things such as "it's fiction, it doesn't have to make sense!" or, one of the Twihards' favorites, "you don't understand". Apart from that, how come she is not to blame for her poor writing? She wrote the book, it is surely not Stephen King's fault. Of course, there are editors and people at the publishing company who should have said "Woman, WTF?", but Meyer, not somebody else, wrote the books. So, to sum up, I don't hate her, I just absolutely dislike her, which is completely different.

Hrm... I HATE HER SO MUCH. If I could say anything to her I would scream "Thanks, Stephenie Meyer for F***ING UP OUR YOUTH!"

I. Want. To. Kill....

I must say that Stephanie meyer is a gifted writer although the thre main words she uses instead of said are (murmered, whispered and muttered) but she has brought a little 레이 of hope into peoples lives 의해 bassically saying nothing is out of your leaugue i.e Edward and Bella because in reality Edward and Bellas social circes should not even touch but they do and she writes it in a captivating dreamy style which is really good. I like the style of writing. just to clarify that. ph and does anyone think that sm is trying to brainwash us all?

she's a nutter

I wouldn't say hate exactly...just a very, very strong dislike.

So many reasons why...

1. Lack of creativity in the Twilight series. A good writer does not have a load of Mary Sue characters as the protagonists (i.e. Bella and Edward) but creates a few flaws here and there to add 더 많이 depth to the characters. Something that people can really relate to. The fact that she lacks this creativity and doesn't even realise it, is fairly worrying for me in itself.

2. Her brother not allowing her to hear any criticism is damaging her and making her incredibly arrogant. This is 더 많이 Seth's fault than her's but there are times when Seth can't censor everything and she starts getting all depressed and coming up with stupid 답변 to intelligent 질문 about her work. People in her line of work need some kind of criticism because others will be able to see errors that she can't. I'm sure some people can be nice about it when criticising her to her face and she should just say 'Thank 당신 for your input, I'll consider it in the future' rather than 'You don't understand'.

3. Thesaurus rape. What twat uses 'verbose' in the first person?! If she wrote in third person, the 책 may have been a little 더 많이 bearable. The problem with using a thesaurus is that some synonyms just don't work in the context. They look out of place. She doesn't need to continuously use 'big words' to show that she's intelligent 또는 whatever. 당신 can still be a good writer without using these words - but she doesn't seem to realise this.

4. She thinks she's awesome. She compares herself to famous authors and also mocks the ones she doesn't like. She has a right to an opinion, sure, but she has no right to compare 또는 mock others based on absolutely nothing.

5. She's making me type a freaking list. Yeeesh.

Well Stephanie Myer doesn't put any thought into her book. I mean it doesn't provoke thought in people and maybe thats why people like it so much because they simply have to read. The thing i don't like is all the happy endings. Also the characters have no depth, they have one emoticion and thats it. And they all basically the same. All shy etc. I don't think she should be swore at 의해 the utmost anti twilighters, but she should be nicer to her fans. I just believe they're sre better writers. I don't like her much, but i can't base her on the little i know, because i don't know her personally

I have been thinking about it for awhile but i cant help but compare her to other authors ive read and think that SM's is totally lacking and ive read everyone's else 코멘트 and i agree.

But heres also what i think:
Theres no history to any other characters other than Bella, Edward, Carlisle, Rosalie, Esme and Renesmee...the rest are sidelined and 당신 only know little things, whereas 당신 go to other 책 series such as Harry Potter: everyone HAS a backstory, 당신 pretty much know who they are (maybe not right away but 당신 get clues) where they came from, their reasons on why they do the things they do, etc but for twilight nada...lack of creativity and imagination.

I agree if she actually took on critism she could actually improve her 글쓰기 and storytelling and think 더 많이 about what kind of messages she is sending out to teenagers who take things are little too literally (not all of course) but theres too many hidden messages and messages that are quite clear im defiantly not comfortable with: phedopile (jacob-renesmee), anti feminism, men supermacy (how edward controls bella: who controls who she sees, etc) sexual abuse (when edward hurts bella in BD) and that there are no consquences in life to your actions.

Soz for my rant...but i just think she should have fleshed out the series alot 더 많이 before publishing it and then maybe so many pplz and myself might actually enjoy it alot 더 많이 than we are. thanks

I don't like Meyer and I think she can't really write. Twilight is not a good book(that's my opinion only) and i'm honestly not a fan. To be honest i dont know how Twilight even became that popular..
And i heard that her brother 또는 whoever deletes hate mail 또는 letters that criticize her 또는 something and i dont like it. I mean as a writer she's supposed to accept those and use them to make a better story! It's just not right. For me the fact that she does not accept criticism shows she can't handle it and she's not a great writer.
