I don't even *like* Twilight, and this annoys me

[asimplechord]

Laurell K. Hamilton, author of the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter books, has her own thoughts on the Twilight phenomenon. “Stephenie Meyer has come and she’s taken the genre that I sort of pioneered.[...]"

Um. Seriously? She pioneered? Because Le Fanu didn't create Carmilla, a seductive creature of the night, back in the mid-19th century? Obviously Stoker's Dracula was not an influence either. Or Coleridge's Geraldine, who was likely the basis for Carmilla.

And let's not acknowledge Stephen King's Salem's Lot or Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.

Let's not point out that Hamilton's grasp of plot, grammar, syntax, and logic are utterly nonexistent.

Uh-huh. Obviously, she created the vampire/supernatural creature genre of literature. OBVSLY.

How can she see around her monstrously huge ego?

No, no, no, see, what she must mean is that Stephanie Meyer has come and taken the mindless, poorly-written vampire-book genre that she totally engineered. See? All fixed.

Unless she's got a time machine, I am failing to see how she would predate Dracula.

... then again, maybe that's why it says "sort of" pioneered.

I liked the whole idea of where she was going with anita blake in the begining but then it was just "anita's magical vagina" it irked the living hell out of me. I honestly hated the character anita. though i did enjoy some wonderfully written slash fiction by far more creative writers than ms.hamilton.

*shakes head* actually my favorite book of hers was when she went to help Edward out west. NO SEX.

I prefer my slash fan fiction any day!

Isn't there a group that says the first vampire was Cain. As in Cain and Abel? Maybe she goes back that far...

I haven't read her stuff. Remind me not to.

Did she really say that? LMAO Wow.. I don't even know where to begin on that one especially since she's referring to Stephenie Meyer who has a long, long way to go.
