Ok bella is not a marry sue. She is THE marry sue. When I hear the term marry sue it is BELLA'S face that pops up in my head. Did i mention how edward is THE garry sue. He is the boyfriend stephen always wanted. Together Bella and edward are THE sue couple.

@Shadowdancer21b Well, then... maybe Stephenie Meyer read a pop-up version of The Sound and the Fury?

[Shadowdancer21b]

@LastStand2010 there's a popup book for "The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon"

The "Bitch, please" part made me fall off my chair laughing, seriously.

And you're so, so right.

Twilight was written by a woman with issues and insecurities about herself and the character she created is the ideal version she'd imagine herself to be.

It really is written for the female hormones.

I'm seriously embarrassed that other women don't see this.

It kind of makes me puke a little, Mary Sues.

Everyone has flaws, but in my opinion beauty can be found in each and evry one of them.

public schools DO suck. what drug is meyer on?

[LastStand2010]

Fucking FAULKNER?! Really Stephenie Meyer? Faulkner is basic? Yes, and Stephen King writes children's picture books.

I have another question (the other is in the previous video): My character has read and/or worked with famous authors (because she loves writing) but she is 257 years old. Does that count as being smart or just plain life experience? Just a small doubt!

[DreamersBallad]

@LonelyAtHeart4ever You make some good points and I agree about authors basing characters on themselves, but there's a limit. Authors naturally write about what they know, but when it gets to the point of the ridiculous (like some of what shmeiliarockie has stated in her previous videos) it becomes hard to take and kind of boring. But that doesn't mean people shouldn't like it. I don't like the Twilight series (and I admittedly have read all of them) but I'm fine with other people who do.
