I've just written a Weekend Notes article about Twilight, and how the vampires and werewolves are actually completely extraneous to the plot, in the sense that if Stephanie Meyers were a better writer she could have written a teenage love story, and not needed to put sparkly vampires and clichéd ethnic minority werewolves in it.
It's a bit of a departure from my normal type of articles, so we'll wait and see whether 'tis approved by the editors.
In the meantime, I am going to bed, because my throat is scratchy, my nose keeps on sneezing, and I sense that some kind of illness must be creeping up on me. I find that the best way to stave these things off is to sleep, a lot, which is also good because I really like sleeping.
"See you morning!" as my younger daughter used to say from inside her cot.

I hadn't seen it, but I've just read it and I do find it amusing! My one was published: http://www.weekendnotes.com/what-is-the-twilight-series-about/
DeleteIt is pretty much along the same lines as The Oatmeal's one. Except without the cartoons.
