it seems no one is interested in my stories unless they're about vampires. and have a perfect boy in love with a dumb, moody girl. girls are obsessed with "romance".
*sigh* don't worry writer I feel the same way & I'm a GIRL! Then again I'm writing a series so I hav a rather scrutizing & pessimistic view of the books whenever I go 2 the YA section & pretty much refuse 2'give anything a chance. My book has a girl main character but she's not normal & my book has action & other exciting stuff. But even if it has that stuff guys might not read it cuz it has a girl protagonist... Which makes me sad but watever
sorry to say, but HON (House Of Night) is nothing like the girly crap that crowds our shelvs, and the same for The Morganville Vampire, they are different and much better than Twilight, and evermore is about Immortals, thats why it is called the Immortals Series, you should try to read some of this stuff, you might actually enjoy it
@meganh4540 Evermore series is horrible. It's worse than Twilight. but that's just my opinion. Ever is exactly like Bella, except dumber. and yes, I read them.
@NellChenoweth oh i dont like them, i was talking about the morganville vamps and HON, i do agree on Evermore series, i was just saying about the non vamp thing (and i understand people have their own views)
You know what's also very sad? I as so disgusted to find editions of classic literature such as Jane Eyre, Emma, Wuthering Heights, ect. with covers designed to look exactly like Twilight. It was an outrage and an insult to those who actually read classics. D:
I hate this 'craze.' I swear, every time my birthday or Christmas comes around, my friends shower me with these books telling me to 'read them, they're really good.' It's annoying. Especially since it's got to the point where I'm reluctant (sp?) to go into bookshops because I don't think there'll be anything in there that I'll like.
Oh god, I know what you mean. I have a certificate that my sister gave me last Christmas. Normally it would have been gone within a week maximum, back lately I can't find anything I want to spend it on. It's all vampire this fallen angel that and a werewolf over there for good measure. I love fantasy/adventure, and especially being a university student I sometimes need something else. I can't even find a vampire/werewolf/fallen angel/forbidden love free book.
I like mystery but I want else too, not to mention vampires are creeping into that lately. Not that I've anything against a good (ie. plot) book with vampires, but lately it's just the same melodramatic character, a monster with a soul in high school/boarding school/university etc.Thank god I'll always have Tolkien.This vampire craze put one my stories on hold until I find a better race for my ex-vampire. He existed before Twilight but I'm so sick of vampires there's no way he's staying one.
Back in high school, we had reading tests to determine what students could read. My scores were so high that I didn't read any of this crap. I ended up reading a lot of sci-fi like Arthur C. Clarke 2001 series starting with the second book and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series as well as books like The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. I could never write young adult fiction, which means I can write my adult-oriented, politically-themed sci-fi action drama free from any sort of trends or recycled crap.
You're not alone. Nowadays I either look in the adult section (which I hate) or the kids section (they have one shelf for the preteens. Actually not half bad sometimes) to find a good book.
I myself am trying to write a book. And it has nothing to do with any sort of paranormal romance. Fantasy or Science fiction though, yes. I've shelved one that does include the supernatural world going to war, mostly because of the fact it would very likely be overlooked by someone looking for a good book.
Well it is the fourth book in the series Gone by Michael Grant. I have only read some pages of plague, but the series itself is about that everyone over the age of 15 dissapear and some of the kids start develop powers (some had them befor the wall came up)..
I really suck at describing books, sorry :S You could google it tho :)
The series is dark and the books are sorta long, but I really like them :) They are recommended :)
Well, as a writer in training it's hard for me to be anywhere original. My story has vampires and werewolves (and they actually are close to the folklore) but, sadly I am only looked at with "Of course" look by everyone when ever I tell them :/ It sucks. Plus I love the vampire folklore and have been reading about them longer than most vampire "romance" writers, who may have just read a wikipedia page about them.
why don't you try reading something by Raymond E. Feist? I'm a 17 year old girl and I would much rather read Magician (his first book) than Twilight, it has two male protaganists and they have a lot more depth to them than the characters in these vampire novels.
The books mentioned here make me want to vomit. Like you said, people have no idea how to tell the difference between good and bad books. I have grown up with boy books and manga. But I pretty much read whatever that I like.
I'm glad as a guy I was never a big fantasy fan.I have always been a non fiction science\history reader since age 5.Any divergence from that is miniscule & digresses into Author Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes(and its many incarnations) & some HG wells books preferably "The time Machine."
I know exactly how you feel about not having enough good books to read. I am a girl, but I frankly despise chick-lit and all that other nonsense, and so take to reading classics. Don't get me wrong; I love classics, but sometimes it gets a little too much >.<
If you'd like some good dark stories may i sugest the works of H.P Lovecraft. If you'd lake something more like Fantastic Fiction may i sugest the works of John Wyndham in particular "Day of the Triffids" and "The Chrysalids".
I'm writing a young adult historical fiction novel... so glad it doesn't involve any vampires....I don't think I could write a crappy vampire novel which horny teenage girls would fake rape the male characters.
I've just discovered you, and you now have +1 subscriber, but you might want to make your voice a little less harsh, as in the ups and downs in volume. I don't know how you'd do it, maybe a pop filter? Or sitting further away from the mic? Other than that, loving your stuff!
thank you, writer from nowhere for opening my eyes.
due to immense peer pressure from all my vampire-fangirly friends i was ALMOST sucked into liking- dare i say, this horrid plague that has hit local bookshelves everywhere.
i mean, there is still good teen fiction if you look hard enough, but sadly, you are right. it IS all for girls.
but really, i am in such a tate of book-drought, i am re-reading Bunnicula for the millionth time.
D'awww, don't worry! I think there's hope for the literary world, so as long the stupid emo fashion age ends <3 And also lonely female authors stop writing down their fantasies and or trying to market their work instead of actually trying to make their books unique and original! ... Wait, that doesn't sound very hopefull... Well... shit!
I agree with you ! It makes me cry every time I go to Waterstones only to see a whole bookcase filled with with "copycat" dark romance . I can't trust any teenage books any more I even picked up a book and read the first chapter until I realized it was a dark romance OTL. Until this phase is over , its classics for me, the good original stuff ! (currently reading Dracula; best vampire book I've ever read !)
I'm a girl (21) and I agree. Luckily for me I never read much ''modern'' young adult fiction, except for Darren Shan. I was more into reading horror classics like Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Anne Rice. The bad-vampire books fad will fade eventually, and the readers will realize that there is better stuff out there. I just finished ''Lolita'' and I will remember that story forever. I don't think they can say the same for that crap.
Good luck to all the writers who are in the fantasy genre, even worse if there's romance you don't stand a change right now.
Well if you don't push for romance as a big part of the story (it should be just a sub plot anyway) then possibly this poop of a trend may leave you alone.
I'm writing a fantasy trilogy for young adults and I'm sort of afraid to publish it because of the craze of abused teenages girls and their magical boyfriends. I try to talk about my story and even my mother says 'make it more like TWHY!?light'. Is it so wrong for a story to have more adventure than romance, to have actual character development, dark humor, positve views on being human and a cynical narrartor/antagonist telling the story???
@WriterfromNowhere (=*w*=) I would be flattered if you read my works. Actually, I'd be flattered if anyone read my works. XD I'm still in that stage of writing the same chapter about 20 times and tormenting my friends with my constant need for critique.
Me: 8DD What do you think? Anything I need to work on?
@lovemeordie83 You sure you want to help? >XD I'd be very greatful for it, but I tend to drive people crazy with my constant need for someone to tell me what I'm doing wrong.
@HumbleLittleNarrator I understand why people CRAVE for criticism. I want to improve my acting so badly even though people have told me that I am good at it but still. Same goes for my writing, I want to improve my writing skills because I want it to be plausible for my readers.
Can you imagine how I feel walking in a book store? Fearing to walk within 15 feet of those hideous pieces of crap on display because people may associate me with them!
Worse off the literature selection starts off with novels all my Nicolas Sparks, and movies staring Hannah Montana and Robert Patterson. DO NOT WANT
Well, first off, I'd like to say that the current contents of the Young Adult section at bookstore makes me ashamed to be a female. Also, I was curious to know where you got the 'Go Team Edgar' picture at 3:08. It made me laugh so hard and it was just wonderful.
To be honest i'm not really a big fan of vampire stories; only acceptable if they follow the rules of how to make a appropriate story & mythology or research. But the #1 thing i hate about most of these vampire books is that it's possible that half the time it is fan-fiction (very rare that some fan-fiction is good) or some very bad books but! i do know their might be some stories that don't suck and they're not ripoffs from others. Can sometimes be hard to find but you may spot it after a while
I started reading a book called "Generation Dead." I thought it might be okay, seeing as it has the undead, but it was just the exact same thing you explained, except we know from the beginning the boy is dead. I hated the main character to the point of wanting to stab her. I beg you, never taint your hands with that... that shit.
Every time I visit a bookstore, I avoid the YA section like the plague. I hate that Twatlight ruined vampires for me (at least, for now and probably for a good while). Someone I know tried to get me to read one of those dark romance tween books and I couldn't even get through the first chapter. I think I'll just stick to Tolkien, G.R.R. Martin, and Harry Potter, thank you very much. ;)
The other thing that ticks me off about all this crap 'dark romance' is that people buy them and there are now soo popular that agents and publisher won't print anything else!!! I am not joking, I wrote a dark mystery about the Spanish Flu after WWI and the agent said it was great but there is no market for it at moment!!!!! AGGHHH!!!!!!
Sadly I find myself looking for all the "boy's" books when I go to Barnes & Noble these days. Even though I've found some EXCELLENT girl's books among all the trash, it's still ADVERTISED as being the next Twilight.
I'm better off searching through the adult fiction section, even though I know I want to keep up with YA novels because I aspire to write them. Hopefully I can do this and save the next generation from this awful cash cow machine which is poisoning the minds of young girls. O^O
@paladindragoongirl18 One more thing, Kristin Cast is in her 20's and yet, I think girls younger than her can write better and have better story ideas. I don't know how old she was when she first wrote House of Night.
I planned on writing a modern vampire story but shelved it until this craze runs out, if I ever had it published I wouldn't want it compared to Twilight. That would be my biggest low.
Im a 14 year old girl and I hate these books....someone really needed to say this. So freaking true. The teen section today is just sad to say the least.
I read a book I think it was called The Vampire's Promise or something, and, thankfully the vampire in the book was evil and tries to kill the girl in the end but he reminded me more a genie, I mean, he was granting wishes and twisting them around so they sorta ended badly. XD I can't find a realistic vampire book anymore, the shame and horror.
I hate that the twilight series and "vampire" series after are viewed as the gospel to teen girl readers. these books are the gospel to future unhealthy r'ships IMO. I agree boys read, yet where are their books! thank goodness for the few stephen kings of the world who actually give a damn.
@cuzitsnecessary What I forgot to mention in the video (and I believe MelinaPendulum covered this too) is that many books that are meant to be for boys are normally for children. Not many seem targeted at teenaged boys. :/
I saw a snippet of Evermore and I feel like reading House of Night ALL. OVER. AGAIN. I'm not lying. They are just too similar to the point of not telling which ne is which, sort of like how kids look alike and can't tell them apart.
I also feel like reading a teen magazine when reading these books. I think that these "Supernatural Romance" are worst than teen magazines because they... promote unhealthy obsession in a relationship while teen magazines just... talk about boys and fashion.
In my local Waterstones, the Teen section is only about three bookshelves wide, and one of them is solely dedicated to dark romance. It's like a horrifying eyesore, sitting there. (This is why I only look at the graphic novels now! /shot) I prefer more 'male' books, where romance (if present) is more of a background thing. I prefer a decent plot to 'twuu wuuuv~', kthxbai. (Everyone seems to think that I should love romance books, though. I'll just stick to classics)
Yeh, my love for vampires was basically killed thanks to all this crap. -_- Everything just seems to be a carbon copy of each other now, sometimes I wonder why I even go into a book store anymore. =/
I hate going in to book shops and seeing that Dark fantasy section because their is almost complety nothing their that is any good. I think out of every time i ever even botherd to look their was only one good book, and it didnt really fit in that catagory.
It also annoys me that a lot of girls at my school will read that rubish and go on and on about it. Also your rite about their not being enough teen boy fiction. And to be honest i like books aimed at boys more than what is thrown at girls
As a 16-year-old girl, I also worry about the effect that these books have on people's mindsets, but fortunately I don't seem to be the only girl in my year who dislikes Twilight. I think a lot of girls are over it by the time they get to my age, especially since the series is over (though most people still go to see the films).
I agree. I swear half the boys I know at school either read Harry Potter or Alex Rider-style books. There definitely should be far more books targeted towards teenage boys. I've thought this many times before -it seems awful that boys are actually being dettered from reading at this age.
I'm glad most of my girlfriends have the common decency and dignity to not read YA supernatural rubbish, or at least not talk about it in public :) I've recently gotten into Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes.
In my local bookshop, which is a Waterstone's, there used to be a whole section of the bookshop for "Dark Romance" (It was only a small section of the shop as well) It's like giving a whole section of a CD shop to Rebecca Black! :O P.S: It's even harder in your situation I guess, now Alex Rider has finished! :P
I swear to you, Writer, that I shall save our teenagers (girls AND boys) from the vampire craze by working on my book, and getting it published so that they will have something worth reading! Instead of sparkly undead morons, they shall have a great story filled with action, thrills, and peril!
I enjoy reading paranormal YA, but not the way they are going now with these abusive relationships and retarded female leads. I have been forced out of the YA section into the children's/Adult/Classic section of my bookstore. The quality of books today astonish's me. It doesn't help that ALL my friends like this sort of thing and I can't trust any of there book suggestions fore. Trust me, I tried to read all the books they gave to me, but all I end up is disappointed.
I liked this genre about 4 years ago. Now I've gotten sick of all the rip-offs. I want a good urban fantasy novel that doesn't revolve around a romantic relationship of idiots and jackasses, one that delves deeper than "OH NOEZ I NEED MY EPICALLY POWERFUL PERFECT BOYFRIEND!" That is a current project of mine.
When I go into the YA section, it makes me sad because I see the same shit all over the place every time. D:<
New goal in life: write a book that appeals to boys too.
@ornamentelle Also, I would like to break that Adults Are Useless trope sunk deep into teen literature. For some reason, this really annoys me because most adults ARE useless in most YA novels so the Main Character can get away with all sorts of crap.
Ya know what other kind of book series that annoys the piss out of me?(I agree on the vampires thing, hell a few months ago it annoyed me so much I was about to make a video on it myself.) Narnia Rip Offs, if I want fantasy books why do I have to read it about some kind of teenager getting magically transported into a world of wizards and warriors? Percy Jackson, Throne of fire, etc. I know it's targeted toward a younger audience but come on, it's a cop out writing technique and it's cliched.
@ZeroMyHero99 Well there's the Conan series, the Kull series, anything involving swords and magic that was written by Robert E. Howard will do actually. J.R.R Tolkein also wrote several novels and novellas set in Middle Earth besides LOTR and The Hobbit. You can never go wrong with the Forgotten Realms series.
@Bluemagus You're welcome, I highly recommend REH's work, and the list of novels set in the Forgotten Realms on wikipedia will help you greatly, it will take many moons to get through all of them though, I've only managed to finish a couple of the stories in that category, all were good.
Might I recommend the A Song of Ice and Fire series? That's a modern book that strays from vampires and actually puts an emphasis on realism despite being in a fantasy setting. It's pretty compelling and in my opinion a huge breath of fresh air from the tween vampire crap that's been saturating the market.
Actually the reason book covers look alike in the YA section is due to new editions of old books of a vaguely similar theme being published. Anne Rice's vampire series has a new revamped edition to look like Twilight books (god only knows why!). Wuthering Heights has been packaged with a similarly 'dark and mysterious' cover along with the disgusting label 'Edward and Bella's favourite book' scrawled underneath the title. It's enough to drive anyone up the wall!
I gave up on vampires for a long time, I just recently started to give them a new chance.
The vampire male thats in my vampire story is a blood hungry, killing machine that never gets attached to humans because that how a vampire should be! Not some damn sex fantasy >.> *cough* Edward *cough*
During a summer of lulz, I read every single one of those books you mentioned. The potential plagiarism is worse than you'd imagine - in Hush, Hush, the girl meets her DLI in a biology classroom, and a lesser known one you didn't mention had the same exact conversation from the scene in the woods with Edward and Bella, "Say it" thing. One thing - HON doesn't follow the same Twilight formula at all (I've read five of them), but that doesn't mean it doesn't hit every *ism in the book.
If you watch MelinaPendulum, you'll recognize my train of thought
All these secondrate books were caused by Twilight. They're constantly fed to girls that they're good, when really, they're terrible. Girls at my school all think they're literary geniuses because they've read Twilight, Fallen, etc, yet they completely ignore good books like Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and the Giver. I'd like to write something one day, and it seems like the only way to make money is to dumb down everything.
excellent rant on the the widespread pandemic of teen girl romance. hell, i can't even go to Borders or Barnes & Nobles w/o running into these sections. hell, they're almost right next or near to the graphic novel section. XP
@WriterfromNowhere honestly, i kinda assume that your real name would derive from your username. the initials, WFN = Warren Frederick Norwell or something. looks like i was way off on that.
lucky you. i almost gave out a weird look of disgust in front of young girls in the Vampire Romance section and they look at me like i was jealous cause i can't be their ideal vampire bf. for all i care, i'm glad. XD
I know how you feel, I'm a girl and try to avoid the young adult section at all times. There's nothing really interesting there, only one or two times have I found a book that kept my interest.
@ZeroMyHero99 I can see what you mean, there are parts like that. Although I managed to look past them and find that it was a different kind of book, at least for me. It's odd. I guess that's what attracts me to it.
I am indeed annoyed by the multiple Twilight knockoffs that fill the YA sections. I hope that comes to an end once my book gets published.

Very good points. Also there's more to reading romance, what about friendship, adventure, mysteries and others.
My ideal on a love story is; love happens unexpectedly and getting to know the person before it's really love.
Like you're have a goal and then out of nowhere love comes. And also aware the bad side of falling in love.

Wait, that doesn't sound very hopefull... Well... shit!

I agree with you ! It makes me cry every time I go to Waterstones only to see a whole bookcase filled with with "copycat" dark romance . I can't trust any teenage books any more I even picked up a book and read the first chapter until I realized it was a dark romance OTL. Until this phase is over , its classics for me, the good original stuff ! (currently reading Dracula; best vampire book I've ever read !)
But, keep up the good work !

I'm a girl (21) and I agree. Luckily for me I never read much ''modern'' young adult fiction, except for Darren Shan. I was more into reading horror classics like Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Anne Rice. The bad-vampire books fad will fade eventually, and the readers will realize that there is better stuff out there. I just finished ''Lolita'' and I will remember that story forever. I don't think they can say the same for that crap.

Good luck to all the writers who are in the fantasy genre, even worse if there's romance you don't stand a change right now.
Well if you don't push for romance as a big part of the story (it should be just a sub plot anyway) then possibly this poop of a trend may leave you alone.
Keep recommending good books out there Writer!

I'm writing a fantasy trilogy for young adults and I'm sort of afraid to publish it because of the craze of abused teenages girls and their magical boyfriends. I try to talk about my story and even my mother says 'make it more like TWHY!?light'. Is it so wrong for a story to have more adventure than romance, to have actual character development, dark humor, positve views on being human and a cynical narrartor/antagonist telling the story???

To be honest i'm not really a big fan of vampire stories; only acceptable if they follow the rules of how to make a appropriate story & mythology or research. But the #1 thing i hate about most of these vampire books is that it's possible that half the time it is fan-fiction (very rare that some fan-fiction is good) or some very bad books but! i do know their might be some stories that don't suck and they're not ripoffs from others. Can sometimes be hard to find but you may spot it after a while

I also feel like reading a teen magazine when reading these books. I think that these "Supernatural Romance" are worst than teen magazines because they... promote unhealthy obsession in a relationship while teen magazines just... talk about boys and fashion.

In my local Waterstones, the Teen section is only about three bookshelves wide, and one of them is solely dedicated to dark romance. It's like a horrifying eyesore, sitting there. (This is why I only look at the graphic novels now! /shot) I prefer more 'male' books, where romance (if present) is more of a background thing. I prefer a decent plot to 'twuu wuuuv~', kthxbai. (Everyone seems to think that I should love romance books, though. I'll just stick to classics)

That is a current project of mine.

Percy Jackson, Throne of fire, etc. I know it's targeted toward a younger audience but come on, it's a cop out writing technique and it's cliched.

Actually the reason book covers look alike in the YA section is due to new editions of old books of a vaguely similar theme being published. Anne Rice's vampire series has a new revamped edition to look like Twilight books (god only knows why!). Wuthering Heights has been packaged with a similarly 'dark and mysterious' cover along with the disgusting label 'Edward and Bella's favourite book' scrawled underneath the title. It's enough to drive anyone up the wall!

During a summer of lulz, I read every single one of those books you mentioned.

One thing - HON doesn't follow the same Twilight formula at all (I've read five of them), but that doesn't mean it doesn't hit every *ism in the book.

If you watch MelinaPendulum, you'll recognize my train of thought
All these secondrate books were caused by Twilight. They're constantly fed to girls that they're good, when really, they're terrible. Girls at my school all think they're literary geniuses because they've read Twilight, Fallen, etc, yet they completely ignore good books like Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, and the Giver. I'd like to write something one day, and it seems like the only way to make money is to dumb down everything.
