Warm Bodies
Look it up on IMDB. Dear god. -_-
]]>And let's not forget the time she sentenced a man and his family to death because he wouldn't have sex with her.
]]>And other werewolves. And some werekitties. And some more vampires. And some more werewolves. And a few more vampires. And she attracts more by using her magical STD to keep them addicted to her and never stray. (No seriously, the ardeur is something that is so addictive that people have died from not having it.)
Plus you have her great outlook on women, with her saying that any weakness is a sign of being "womanly" and that in order to be tough you have to "be a man". Not to mention her accusing a rape victim of buyer's remorse because she decided to date a guy who was into rough sex. (She told him to stop, he kept going.)
Yeah, I can see where this series is so great.
]]>Just the thing for you: Laurel Hamilton's Anita Blake series. She's in a triangle with a vampire and a werewolf. 🙂
]]>thanks. I think it ads some visual appeal above the standard color gradient.
]]>Thanks!
]]>I think you're hitting on the point of what a lot of people who don't like the books/film take issue with. For a lot of us die-hard fantasy and sci-fi fans there are certain rules and conventions that need to be adhered to–or at least acknowledged. The rules of what makes a vampire a vampire are older than most works of fiction and you can't just fly in the face of them and still insist your books are about vampires. To wit: If it walks like a ducks, quacks like an aardvark, and looks like a mongoose, you can't call it a wedge of fine Havarti cheese…
A lot f the anti-Twilight noise would probably never happened if Meyer had called her vampires something else. "Goth-bait prettybois" comes to mind as an alternative…
Unless "Prettyboi" is a character in one of the books, in which case I apologize for my faux pas…
]]>They're not badly written from a literary perspective, especially considering that Rowling wasn't a writer beforehand. Harry Potter was just a bedtime story she told her kids. She knew nothing about writing before.
Honestly, her style became less amateurish with each book. She still needs a little work, but the books aren't nearly as bad as the Twilight series.
Actually, White Wolf lost that suit because (surprise) not only was the only part of the movie that could be seen as White Wolf's original fiction different enough to not fall under copyright infringement, but the World of Darkness is based on previously-existing fiction already.
The half-vampire/half-werewolf bit was too campy for me, especially since it MADE HIM BLUE (wtf??), but it's been done before. Even before WW did it. *shrug*
