which one would it be and what would you change about it? Also, why didnt you like the ending of the actual books? I'm just curious about people's answer to this one will be...
If I could change anything it would be the last book (breaking dawn) and make it so there was an acutal fight between the cullen's gang and the Volturi. I was really disappointed when there wasnt one.
As a member of Team Tyler's Van, I support the pairing of Tyler's Van and Bella.
If only they got together that time on the Forks High School parking lot, the world would be better off!
That would be how I change the end to Twilight.
I'd make it sans Bella "Mary-Sue" Swan and sans twisted romance and just... non existant!
I did enjoy the Twilight books at first but they have brought nothing but ruin what with all the pathetic fangirlies tagging along after the badly-written books became a badly-acted movie.
Umm... ok let's see.
First book: Get James to change Bella/Mary-Sue into a cold-blooded, human blood drinking vampire and then he kicks Edward's ass and takes Bella for himself.
She should've become a vamp. Not that I like her enough to make her that awesome but I mean come on. 'The venom goes through her system but Edward sucks it out but can't help himself because Bella tastes so good... oh but wait he stopped because he loves her' >:(
Second book: Bella chooses Jacob/Alice and let's Edward kill himself by showing off his sparkles!
If some guy I 'loved' dumped me in the middle of the woods I wouldn't care. Sure I would be really sad for a few weeks but I'd get over it and choose the big hunky muscley Jake or for her choosing the little pixie girl who actually came back for her.
I can't force myself to read the last two though... I just can't take it anymore.
Instead of kissing Bella's neck at the end of Twilight or whatever it is that he did, he should bite her and turn her into a vampire. Then they can be together forever and she can just forget about her dumbass family and friends, especially Jackob Black. It's not that I hate Jackob Black it's just that I dont like ppl (or werewolves) trying to steal Bella from Edward. They belong together
Jacob is too good for her, and though he's an ass, I'm so glad that she didn't pick him.
My perfect ending would be a huge fight scene, Bella and Edward die, both pathetically screaming for eachother. Leaving Rosalie and Emmett to raise Renesmee and be happy. And the others too move on without them.
The world would be a better place, and I love the werewolves.
@Drowninginthedark - they can HAVE each other :P Jacob is too good, and should be mine.
rayray - your ending sounds perrrfect!! it has everything the book needs to spice it up!
I also think as Meyer, wrote midnight sun (which was quite lame) i think she'd be better off doing a book based on the more interesting characters... jasper... alice... and the other guy, forgot his name, but in the last book he was a drifter vampire or something. and he ended up hooking up with another vamprie... cant remember his name.... it was a side story anyways! :-(
I was quite annoyed with new moon... bella just took edward back without any hesitation!! he left her in the woods!!! Why would she go save his ass?? lol
Basically...If it was possible, I'd take Bella's place and take Jacob instead!
But in reality, it isn't, so I'd say, Bella should have realised that someone who leaves you in the middle of a wooded area, knowing how much it's hurting you, isn't worth fighting for, sure running to Italy to save someone is good of you, but after that, I would have just got her with Jacob! Who probably deserves better, OH and I would have had Mike Newton punched in the face! They also should have had some sort of fight scene in Breaking Dawn, and more than just Irina dying...that was sort of rubbish!
But then again, Happily Ever Afters are always good in my book!
I like happy endings when they are well deserved... you know, when the main characters have gone through hardship and tourture of some sort... dont get me wrong, i like the twilight saga, but i didnt seemt to understand the problems in Bella's life... or should i say the problems she thought she had. so even though we all read a happy ending I kept thinking how its wasnt truely deserved...?
well, in breaking dawn, i would've made the Volturi win. TEAM VOLTURI!!!!! :) i'm not a guge Twilight fan, but my fave book is Eclipse.
It would have been wicked if Bella joined the voluri's... it'd be nice to see the darker side to Bella!
I would have edited the end of the first book and have all of the characters annihilated in a nuclear apocalypse. :P
I would have Bella undergo drastic cosmetic surgery until she no longer looked like a younger, more attractive version of SMeyer herself.
Self-insert is bad in fanfiction. In original works it's something else. D:
Get rid of the last chap in Eclipse. Come on, running away? Did she intentionally make Jacob OOC?
I like Jacob. Not as much as Edward, I didn't at first I hated him.
But instead of him imprinting on Renesme in Breaking Dawn I thought him and the wearwolf Leah would make a good couple, who agrees?
>>15 I agree... it would have saved alot of time explaining the pedo-werewolve thin! lol
Not the hugest fan but read them out of curiosity, I was disappointed when there wasn't a fight at the end of Breaking Dawn after we learned what excellent weapons all of the vampires were. It would have made me look at the books in a better light, instead I found them rather dull
>>18 Thirded (wait...)
Seriously, it's pathetic, I could only read to the start of New Moon, then Bella went all 'Oh, I'm so depressed and just CAN'T enjoy my bday cause I'm exactly one year older than Edward!'
Technicality; he's like a hundred years older.
And what is with sparkling in the sun? I know fairies that are more badass than that...
Not to mention I love werewolves, but now whenever I mention them people think of Twilight, which is completely f*****g annoying!
DEATH TO TWILIGHT!!
Whilst not necessarily about the endings, I'd change it so either:
A) They never existed
B) Somethng happened in them
C) Anything happened in them
I like option A the best myself.

Best spoof ever!
I've just realised...
...In the first movie, wasn't Bella going to change into a vampire?
Edward saves her...And NOW SHE'S GOING TO BE TURNED INTO A VAMPIRE AGAIN?!
maybe he just shouldn't've saved her...let her go through the pain.
pfff. whatever :D
Or was it poison? Either way, the more painful the better.

I agree. He should have supported her while she became a vamp. And they would have run to Alaska and live there happily ever after. I mean... I have read all of the books, and the quality really goes down each book. With each chapter written, more mistakes seem to sneak in. The editor really did a bad job, and closer to the end, things just get surrealistic. I mean, it's all a nice concept, I think. It's just a fair example of something that should have stopped after the first book.
Or the first letter.
At the end of the first book, the Volturi come and destroy Bella and Edward.
Or a Monthy Pythonised version.
Or any form of anything she could use to write would have magically broken when she tried to put the idea down?
I would of had Bella actually get a back bone and have gone to college to get an actual education (she did homework in her spare time anyway...the weirdo...) The fact that she was all panicked because she was (sort of but not really) a year older than her bf, and thus determined the rest of her fate on that one shallow thought was beyond pathetic.
I would not of had her have a baby. I shouldn't even have to explain why, the whole thing was freaking preposterous.
I would of had less ridiculous focus on Bella and Edwards messy and violent sexapades, and more on the interesting love triangles and stresses of the pack (which were vaguely glazed over) and a history for Jasper.
I would have either given Emmett a personality to begin with or simply killed him off. (Emmett was the most pointless character of all time.) I certainly would not of had him making 'sex jokes' a 12 year old would be embarressed to make.
I would of had more significent deaths of the wolves and vamps in the final battle to prove that the volutari are NOT to be messed with and are cold blooded killers.
I would of had Bella have to actually deeply examine the enourmity of wanting to be a vamp and to have to choose between her two lives (after college and a year of travelling around the world, with friends not her bf.)
I would of made Bella kinder to her friends, not the sort of girl that just blows them off when her bf whistles, but to hang out with them (and look down on them because they're, like SO immature compared to her!) when her bf was off doing whatever Edward does on his own.
@ Moonphase - You make some very good points but you miss the one thing about Twilight that can not be ignored.
Should any of those changes be implimented, you might have had to take out some of the valuable descriptions of Edwards beauty.
Ran Fan; Heaven forbid I take time away from exploring Edwards alabaster skin and perfect physique!!! :o
lol, I still can't believe I read the whole thing...
By the time I finished the last book I thought "...why...?"
but seriously, I didn't think Twilight was too bad. The first book was, yeah quite shallow, but kinda sweet. Then the second book I thought, was good, I thought Bella and Edward were done and Bella would be a main character going through a break up and finding someone new. I was impressed even. Then...it all went to the dogs...e_e
Moonphase9, it's funny we both share the same opinion. I can handle Twilight and New Moon. They may be horribly written but at least they have some redeeming qualities (mostly Jacob), but they all went downhill once Eclipse was brought. And the less said about Breaking Dawn the better.
I hated New Moon's ending. She just took Edward back without question and even demanded to become a vampire without thinking about her friends, family or Jacob. It was like a big FU to Charlie and Jacob and the werewolves who'd tried to help her out of her pathetic, stupid depression.
The ideal ending? Bella is turned into a vampire and Nessie the demon spawn was never born. Jacob moves on and meets a girl who he falls in love with the normal way and leaves Bella's life while Bella and Edward are then killed by the Volturi because the madness has to stop and those two are better off dead then alive. Meanwhile the rest of the Cullens move on and have their own lives instead of fixating around Bella and Edward.
@ Phoenix and Moonphase - I completely agree with you. Twilight and new Moon were the least hideous of the series, and to pick up on your point Phoenix, if Twilight was actually one book, with a condesnsed version of twilight and half of New Moon as its ending, I don't think it would have been too bad. Not good per say, but not as bad as the whole series.
It certainly would make me want to knaw my own head off a little bit less.
@ Ran Fan - I actually wouldn't have minded Twilight so much if if Twilight and half of New Moon had just been one big book. It at least wouldn't have sucked as much as the whole series as a whole. If it had ended with Edward never returning and Bella realizing that Edward wasn't her life and actually had a lot of flaws, that would have been a good ending. Instead we have to endure how perfect Edward is despite the fact that he's, quite frankly, a prick.
Breaking Dawn was just awful. And to think they're actually considering making that into two movies.
To be honest, Twilght is just a TERRIBLE version of Romeo and Juilet...
And I'd probably watch R+J rather than Twilight..
Y'know...Edward tries to kill to him self because he thinks Bella's dead.
Romeo tries to kill (and DOES) himself because he thinks Juliet's dead. BUT EVEN THEN! THEY DIE TOGETHER AND EVEN IF IT IS A SAPPY LOVE STORY IT HAS MORE PLOT THAN TWILIGHT :|
haha...caps.
Elkkun,
not only that, but Juliet did not have to beg for sex from Romeo, and Romeo did not push her into marrying him (he also doesn't damage her whilst having sex; through 'rough sex' or by impregnating her with a demon spawn, then asking his love rival to knock her up instead.) Their romance was equal, where Bellas and Edwards was not, which is the main reason why haters (and even a good few fans) get so angry or frustrated with the series.
@moonphase- I really think you need to reread Romeo and Juliet; you evidently missed a page or two. It's during the scene where the X-me- Capulets and Montagues are discussing their mutant powers.
On the plus side, Moon appears to display a higher level of knowledge re: the content of Romeo and Juliet than Meyer did.
Meyer's Bella and Edward shouldn't even be compared to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Harry Potter is one thing but comparing the couple of the likes of Shakespeare?
Romeo and Juliet is not my favourite out of his plays. In fact I always thought of it as a play which made fun of 'love at first sight' and was about two teenagers who lusted for each other made stupid decisions based on this lust. That was always my interpretation.
Meyer only wishes her precious Bella and Edward could be near Shakespeare's standards. Instead they're just Mary Sue's and self inserts.
@... and Iaculus
:/
Well...it has been a while...maybe a should re-read, especially as having more knowledge than Meyers isn't much of a challenge, (lol.) I'm pretty certain demon spawn were not part of Romeo and Juliet though!
Another story Meyer referenced a lot was Wuthering Heights...
@ Anonymous
Was I the only one who found her refrencing Wuthering Heights ironic? She has one chapter where Bella and Edward discuss Heathcliff and Cathy and more or less insult them calling both selfish and only cared about their love etc, and look at Bella and Edward?
Bella and Edward are the modern day Cathy and Heathcliff. Only they have a happy fairytale ending instead.
@Phoenix- They are NOTHING LIKE Cathy and Heathcliff. The reference to Wuthering Heights is ironic, true, but it's because Twilight is a terrible book, whereas Wuthering Heights is a classic. The fact that Meyer had the nerve to compare herself to Brontë (by stuffing some highschool analysis on Wuthering Heights into the middle of Twilight) in that terrible series says it all.
@ ...
You didn't think that I was saying that Wuthering Heights was bad like Twilight? Sorry if I gave off that impression. I think Wuthering Heights is far superior to Twilight.
I just thought it was funny how Meyer had Bella and Edward discussing how bad a couple Cathy and Heathcliff were when it was really a case of 'pot calling the kettle black.'
What I meant was: If Bella and Edward think Cathy and Heathcliff were that bad, then they must be the modern day Cathy and Heathcliff because they're no better.
What do you think of the fact that they're changing the covers for Wuthering Heights to resemble Twilight more? What an insult to Emily Bronte.
Hi comment 42 was me (laughing at myself.)
I have to admit, I was confused when Meyer used Wuthering Heights. As Phoenix says, I found no similarity aside from Bell and Edward being selfishly obsessive. But Edward is no Heathcliff...(lol)
And as Phoenix and ... say, it was pretty arrogant of Meyer to try and compare her 2D characters into Bronte's two... If only she had incorporated more flaws into them.
I had a bit of a debate with a friend (who defends Twilight to the death) because she said that they did have flaws- the melodrama, the obsessivness, that Bella was a piss poor friend to all non-Cullens...But I think that Meyer portrayed these as positive. Like Edwards obsessiveness (he took her engine out of her car, wtf?!) is meant to be sexy. What do you think?
(Oh and them changing the covers of WH to look more Twiligh-ish, that's appalling. I've seen quite a few book covers looking increasingly like Meyers work...)
Actually, I wondered for a time if Heathcliff and Cathy was meant to be a comparison to Bella and Jacobs relationship, but Romeo and Juliet's was Edwards and Bella's...but I think all the romances she put into her work were meant to be like Edward and Bella...
Hey by the end of twilight, I would have killed Edward and in turn made Bella hang herself. James would come to the Cullens and kill Rosalie (as she is the only Cullen apart from edward that is a pain in the ass) but settle with them because they were so grateful for him killing her. He would settle for the vegetarian lifestyle and Charlie, Billy Black and Jacob would not get harmed. See Isn't my version awesome :D
>>48 I laughed on the first line xD I would've made it more brutal, just so the fangirls would be happy. I'd have Edward drink all of Bella's blood from her chest while some is spilling on the floor, then I'd have Jacob come along and eat Edward :D.
Oh and the baby in what I've heard about would become a rabid vampire and kill anybody else who threatens to be like Bella....Including fan-girls :)
-cough-
-cough cough- resurrectionplz?
>>48 and yes, your version is very awesome :P
>>51 sooo a yaoi porno video? I think I like your version of Twilight.......
....Only a little.....a little. XD
>>52 you and your porn sarah, how about we just have a random nuke kill them all :D
>>52 HEY DON'T BRING MY PORN INTO THIS! Or I'll take away the most precious thing to you ¬w¬
YOU WILL NEVER TAKE LUCY FROM ME!
okok twilight is gay end of
I wouldn't make Edward and Jacob gay, because that wouldn't make the books any better. Edward is a bad character-simple.
If they accepted Edward flaws (controlling bf) that would be more interesting because he'd be a villain or an anti-hero, which is more fitting for a vampire anyway.
;p I just reckoned if Meyer really wanted to go all traditional Vampire VS Lycans -and what ho? A peace settlement! -then she should really have gone all the way about it.
Oh a more serious suggestion, giving Edward a character would make a better ending, start and painful chapters inbetween. I quite like the idea of him being a villian, or abusive as such... it's really quite tempting to write a version of it that way and see the responses...
Exactly, a flawed Edward is immediatly more interesting. SAnd to make the Volturi genuinely cruel, and the werewolves genuinly violent. A lot of things were hinted at in the books, but nothing really happened. It was like an early Romantic/Gothic novel; I'm amazed Meyer didn't have women fainting every two minutes...
The most violent thing in Twilight was Edward and Bella's wedding night and then the horrible birth of their hellspawn...
It is actually, now that you mention it.
Maybe I might do my own little version to stave away the ol' writers block. ^^
(That was aimed at 59, forgot to put that in :P)
>>62, if you do, please send us the link to it. That'd be interesting to read, for pro and anti-Twi's I would imagine :)
I'M USUALLY THE ONE WHO MAKES THE 69TH POST!
Now lemme get on with my Geography beeotch.
@KiteRunner, if you do, I'll definately be interested to read it. :) Kill two birds with one stone, fill the writers block and make art from newspaper cuttings. (My metaphors suck.)
@Moonphase, the Volturi weren't really that cruel, either, were they? They were sort of mean, but they were fair and they were just (apparently) and that wasn't very effective. Meyer built up so much tension leading up to that battle thing, and then nothing happened except Bella saving the day with her super-powerz. :(
>>64,>>65
guys please stop trolling, it's not funny... :(
>>66
No they weren't really that bad. It ended up being something like a court of law when they did arrive in the fourth book. I mean, if they were that badass why do they have to worry about what other vamps think? They need to take lessons from the old vamps in Queen of the Damned- if they didn't like someone, they'd smash their heads open. Simples.
Besides, only one vamp (the one who spoke all the time, his name I remember not) ever did anything, the other one was portrayed as evil and psycho (but the others kept him in check-why?) and the other one came across as a bored substitute teacher; so uninvolved he was hardly there...
It's been a while since I read the book, and I vaguely remember Jane, the one who causes pain, trying to hurt all the other vampires and Aro talking about a lot. Not to sound too cliched, but with those two characters so much more could be done. If Janes character had been tweeked a bit and made her like a stroppy or selfish ten year old, a bit of history could be made at how Aro can control her. I mean, if I'm honest, I can think of fantastic reasons for her to submit to his orders but Meyer didn't give much background to the Volturi relationship.
But werewolf wise... they could probably find it harder to control themselves and lash out a lot. Just so there isn't so much "I'm full of rage and internal turmoil, but Bella is so pwetty so I can't lose control of myself and eat her." Maybe give the rest of the werewolves something also...
But Bella is a 'Speshul Snowflake'
So any other ending would have involved putting her speshulness up for debate.
Although I completely agree with you.
It was kinda hinted that Jane had a crush on Aro (more paedophilic illusions...) I think she got jealous of Bella at one point. Hmmm, I can't remember too well...
In any case, it could have been really cool and dark, like Louis and Claudia from Interview with a Vampire. I know a lot of Twi fans argue that the books were not supposed to be dark, but the Volturi were...
Yeah, making the werewolves act out on their innate viciousness would be good. I always thought they came across as a bit immature (but so what?, half of them were only sixteen) but other than that, they were a nice group of kids. They seemed to get a lot of prejudice- I always remember this one part where, standing outside school, Bella notes that Edward comes across to the teaches as a good kid (being all charming and well off) but people avoid Jake, who is huge and has a motorbike. I'm tempted to go into the inevitable 'Race Issue'...but I won't (lol)
I thought Leah and that crazy love triangle was really intersting...and totally wasted...
>>70 I meant allusion, not illusion. Lol. Interesting Freudian slip...or bad spelling...or both.
Y'know, I don't even remember what the hell happened in Eclipse. Considering the story...I'm surprised it was made into four, quite large, books.
Oops, sorry, missed ya post. (70)
Twilight was a dark romance novel, no? Vampires aren't exactly sparkles and sunshine- oh wait. But even though I can't remember whenever Jane did get jealous of Bella over Aro, whenever Jane loved Aro was suggested, that would have been so interesting! (My brain is bursting with inspiration, I meerly lack the enthusiasm to type it up.)
And the werewolves, even if the kids were mainly 16 theres enough teenage hormone already without the added doggie-reflexes. So many cool things completely gone to waste!
Yes, she must be attracted to her father...
Eclipse? Well, I think Victoria made herself a little army of vampire new-borns from the neighbouring town to kill Bella, and then Jacob and Edward teamed together to protect her, and then they killed her off and things went back to normal, except for Jacob running off in a huff or something.
I'd just put Blade at the end of the first book. Would have saved us some agony. I'm sure the books are better than the lame excuse for a movie though
I'll gladly rewrite the first Twilight book. With one condition. My ending: kill off Edward, just get right past all the annoying indecision and put Jacob and Bella together. Or just kill them all off. It would make for a nice, clean ending.
But I must admit that I absolutely hate the Meyers Catastrophe.
~Alamax~
Bella should have realised there is more to life than boys, supported her dad, made decent friends with the kids from school, then gone to college, and then gone travelling around th world discovering geat wonders about the supernatural and having all kinds of mind opening adventures, perhaps meeting her love in her thirties before even considering settling down. And by 'settle down' I mean the Wild Thornberry's' style settle down.
That werewolf who carved up his girlfriends face should have had his ass kicked out of home, regardless of how sorry he was. Leah and Jacob should have both gone on to heal, become better people understanding that love is 'letting go.' And then, eventually, fallen for one another.
Mike should have gone on to be a rock star, dating Avril Lavigne, who writes a number one song about him.
All of Bella's school friends kick Myers butt for making them so two dimensional. And all the Cullens die, including Alice (who cares only for clothes) and Carlysle (who goes around biting young men, and started this mess) and Edward-competes-with-a-sixteen-year-old-for-the-love-of-a-seventeen-year-old-despite-being-over-100-himself, can die to. At the hands of the Voltari.
>>81 I love that it would be a vast improvement on the Twilight books.
>>80 I totally agree, I really came to hate Edward Cullen- pedo, seriously- he should have died and I'm sorry what self-respecting vamp sparkles.
>>78 hell yea to Blade- he would have shown them what real vampires were.
To be honest I kinda enjoyed the first book, the second was ok- I liked Jacob and was secretly hoping Bella would wake up and realise Edward was a freak and too damn old, and then she'd grow a backbone, fall for Jacob and when Alice came tell her to 'screw Edward- let him die, he's lived far too long already. I didn't even finish Eclipse- I couldn't and have not touched Breaking Dawn, though I know what Myer did to Jacob- how could you, does she have a thing for making her male characters all pedos, imprinting my......
Okay sorry for the rant, its safe to say that I'm not much of a Twilight fan, if I ever do write a Twilight fanfic it'll be Bella/Jacob and the Cullens(ok only Edward) will go to hell. Though I must confess to watching the movies cos its so funny hearing the fan-girls scream.
I hope I haven't offended anyone. :D

whoops double post sorry :)
@83, totally agree with you. Bella needed to be with that. I hate Edward. It pissed me off when Jacob got with the BABY! Umm, EWW! Really nasty.
I loved the books, they were okay. The movies pissed me off though, they just brought a bunch of annoying girls who think they know everything that's going to happen. The whole team thing is really stupid though. 'Like OMG I'm sooo Team Jacob, even though Edward like wins Bella, they have like sex, and have like a child.'
Sorry for that last bit there, that's idea of a Twilight Saga Fan-girl.
I think the real question is here people : What woudl you NOT change if you were re-writing the Twilight Saga? Me? Not a bloody clue, Bella would have a back bone, Edward wouldn't be a creepy vampire stalker who judt happens to be a pedo too. Jaspr wouldn't be blamed for everything, Rosalie would ahve a deeper character (because she deserves that much) Alice...would die, okay, she would just die. Carlisle...Cradle robber 'nuff said.
Edward wouldn't have left, Jacob woudln't have gotten to know Bella he wouldn't be a jerk-face, an would realise that Leah wasn't half bad and he would love her -no freaky imprinting stuff, it's whacky, and frankly, it creeps me out. Umm, Bella woulf realise how stupid she was about the age thing, she would go to college, get a damn job, do something in her life that's not about edward- that's the only reason the mutant spawn was born, because it was a part of edward um, eww- (or FOR Edward, I mean, he conned her into marrying him) And she would just not be a mary-sue, and live her life for herself. Edward would be supportive and not manipulate her...I could go on, and on, but I won't. lut's just leave it with the fact that Twilight and it's sequals were a huge failure on Meyer's part, as, let's face it, it's just not that great, the hype is ..I just don'r get it, yeah I loved it way back when -when there was no movie, and there weren't fan-girls. with their annoyingly loud squealing. Now I don't get it, I don't thnk i ever will.
I'll give it one thing, SM can pull of plagerism with a flourish. I mean...really, I didn't even have to read the Vampire Diaries to know how much of her inspiration came from it. Stuff the dream. Stuff Edward and Jacob too, I love Jeremy, and Stefan. Mybe Damon, just a little.
>>87 Hell yeah, the Vampire Dairies is the original Twilight I was just reading it recently and thought- hey isn't this basically Twilight, flipped to the date and realised it was released like ten years before.
I like you giving Bella a personality too cos you can only take so much mary sue, and what happened to women's rights- she's a disappointment to feminists everywhere.
>>86 That sounds totally epic, and Dracula- that would be so awesome, James was the coolest character in Twilight and barely had an appearance before he died. (NOOOO!!) You shud totally write that as a fanfiction, I would read it.
>>85 That is just like those fan-girls, OMG Team Edward, OMG Team Jacob, OMG Team Gaga - ok you'll only get that if u were on deviantart on April 1st. ;P
Oooooooh!!!! I would change the whole Bella getting pregnant thing and Jacob imprinting on her because it sint only toooottalllly corby and just stupid, it's going along the lines of not possible to just plain taking the mick out of Meyers own series!!
The happily every after was pretty corby too (in breaking dawn)
i wouild change bella's character a bit, i mean one minute she's like OMG I LOVE EDWARD NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO HIM - NO OTHER GUY LIKE HIM AT ALL!!!! and the nect she's liek - WHO SHOULD I CHOOSE? JACOB OR EDWARD?!?!
I wud have made Bella nicer to her friends, especially Angela (gotts love that girl!)
and OMG!! Dracula (As in big vamp Bram Stoker dude) actuallky exists in Twilight and he becomes a big problem instead of wolf pack or Volturi or something...just a random brain-wave idea that i had. Yes...no?
Twilight just LOST it's appeal after the films. I usedto just read the books over and over again until I actually knew it off by heart but I TOTALLY would've had Bella get with Jacob in New Moon. I mean, if Jacob did look like Taylor Laughter (the film's Jacob) I would be kicking myself if I were Bella. R-Patz needs to die...in a ditch. He's a nob and apparently he has really back body odor problems. How K-Stew can love him I honestly don't know. Bella should've just gotten over Edward and got with Jacob. Who would want a cuddly werewolf to snuggle up to?

I think Bella not getting with Jacob is the least of the book's faults...
I found that Bella in the book and certainly more on screen was just too - boring! I mean c'mon how could anyone, Vampiric or lycan have any kind of feelings for someone that dull and pouty!
Bella was an annoying brat in the books and a totally annoying person on-screen. I have to say personally that K-Stew really made it a whole lot worse than the books. Her face rarely changes and it seems boring. The only characters that hold some semblance of life and motion in both book and movie are Jacob and Alice.
How about getting them together?
The Vampire and the Wolf, Bitter enemies, eternal lovers?
>>94 cool idea with Jacob and Alice - is that a fanfic you plan to write? if you do post the link on here please!
all Alice does is shop and 'dance' around instead of walking like a normal person. You'd have to add so much to her to make her interesting.
Which version of Jake will you go with, the young naive Jake of the first and second book, or the 'sexual harasment'drama queen Jake of book three and four?
>>95 I had not really thought of writing a fanfic of Alice and Jake, I guess I could give it a go??
If I do i'll post the link
The things I'd change:
Read them all and am now ashamed of it...
Changes Bella should be even more abviously mary sue and die at the beginning
No but really now
All I can say is that i really serisouly agonized over the whole jacob/edward/bella love triangle shit IT WAS FUCKING CRAP and led effin nowhere I mean seriouly fuck you bella let the poor fuckers of their leashes and let themshag each other. They were gagging for it
I mean first they'd be all
(dumb) im gonna kickz the shitz outta you for leava bella..!!
Edward would be like (posh gay-y voice) oh dear is that so well i'm going to slap you in the face for stealing my GF Yo!!
And then they get up close and stare into each others dumbleore twinkly each and fall in love shag against all the trees for eternity despite their awfull smells
bella would still be preggers and have the baby and survive but
day in the last book anyway(coughheartbreakcough) and that weirdo child should perish because it has such an awful name
hte others would live but move to some godforsaken place and be just that godforsaken no one wants them anyways...
It would break my little sisters heart is the books really were like this... but she'd get over it
I read all books because everybody told me to read them and I would then see for myself how good they were. Hate to disappoint them all, but while they are generally well written it lacks a good plot.
Bella doesn't really evolve through the series (which I think she should, I mean come on it's so lame when a main charachter stays the same for the entirety of the series). I would give the others (Cullens, werewolves, Charlie, Billie, etc.) more depth too.
Well written?

People may find this amusing. It's basically this guy Alex (also known as Nerimon) reading Twilight chapter by chapter, and commenting on the ridiculousness of it.
Hilarious, thanks for the link :)
>>100 Yay, for yaoi porno!!
>>103, that guy is hilarious. Have only seen a few but it's just so much better then the books.
In my opinion, James is the only cool character in Twilight. I was totally rooting for him in the book and film but of course any remotely interesting character Meyer kills off- and she doesn't even give him a decent death scene. (It could have been so epic!!)
What I've read of Eclipse is crap - only moderately good parts were Jasper's and Rosalie's stories (why the heck did she leave this to the 3rd book?). And I know Rosalie is a pain but at least she had some character.
>>105 my friend is alternately "team James", "team Laurent" and "team Tyler's truck". I agree with her on the last one...
>>102 what I mean is that it is sort of well written (at least in the translation to Dutch). But I don't like the fact that there is no plot whatsoever and it's really boring to read it. Though, I read the first two chapters of the English version and let me tell you; it was worse than the Dutch one.
>>106 Yeah, I reckon I'd be Team Tyler's Truck, if I bothered with that.
I think the ending should have at least given us something. It had all this build up and then just went poof! Where the hell was the bloody battle scene I waited a hundred+ pages for? I call bull on you Miss Meyer. Bull.
The ending of the movies just...sucked monkey butt! TEAM OPTIMUS :) Transformersssss
>>105, it was only by the third book that she realised their background stories. Before that she 'struggled' with Rosalie. Any decent author knows their characters completly before writing, but Meyer wanted to get her wet-drem/mormon morality tale, out sharpish.
I read it all... I haven't even finished reading the book but...
Sharingsupergirl, if you actually write something (i.e. go with the yaoi porno idea) I would totally read it!
BlackMage16 > Go for Dracula! True, this guy needs to come up somewhere.
But honestly, I am still dubious about fanfics - I don't doubt your ability to write, everyone, but honestly, how can you write something when you have so little to work on? bows respectfully
As for the dA Team... I was ranting when I saw I was Team Edward. Team Tyler's Truck sounds awesomez!
I'd make the end of the first book be:
"And they all died because I realized how dumb the lot of them are. Edwards' death was really horrible, Bella was choked to death, and Jakey got stuck in werewolf mode and sent to the pound, where he was later adopted out as a puppy."
XP jk
I'd make Jake go out with Leah, showing that an ending to a series doesn't have to be perfect and that a relationship doesn't have to be perfect either.
>>106 Sign me up for that team. I really wish Edward hadn't stepped in...
I'd make New Moon end in a way that pairs up Bella with Jake... Edward Cullen is a jerk! I for one am Team Anti-Edward. (aka I like quite a few pairing for Bella where the guy is NOT
Edward.
OOOHHHHH!!!! a different ending to Twilight....Very simple..."And then Buffy staked Edward and put a silver bullet in Jacob, The End".
116- Add 'and accidently staked Bella' to the end of your idea, and you've got the perfect ending.
OUCH!!! how could I have forgotten that?! Thank you...revising..."And Buffy staked Edward AND Bella, and then put a silver bullet in Jacob."
Sorry, I couldn't make it an accident, she doesn't deserve that courtesy..
I would make the ending of Twilight on the first page.
'Rocks fall, everyone dies. The end.'
They're really dense rocks, so even Edward with his sparkly fabulousness can't avoid being crushed by them. Also, they have veins of silver in them, in case the initial crushing doesn't end Jacob.
at the end of the first book, Edward would kill the girl and Jacob would be caught by a dog catcher and uh....the Doctor is sued for Malpractice and they're all burned at the stake for vampire-ism. Happily ever after
Problem: They can't be burned for vampire-ism...They're not vampire-y enough for it, they just wish they could be.
Fine, then they're burned at the stake because the whole world goes mad except for the vampires and werewolves but their power is weakened so they can't fight back when the humans capture them and burn them. BURN EDWARD BURN! YOU TOO JACOB! Is that better?
sorry, forgot to change the name back, in case you haven't noticed, that was me.
The ending is better. I guess as long as they all die, it's all good.
My ending:
"...and then Edward was falcon punched right in the face. The End."
I read all those books. I cried when I was done. Not because it was good; I cried for the many braincells that had fallen in battle.
Rest in Peace, my friends. Rest in Peace.
i'd let bella die n turn edward and jacob gay :)
i'd let bella die n turn edward and jacob gay :)
>>128 Naw, I'd let Jacob and Edward die a horrible death and make Bella and Alice gay xD
I'd go with everyone dies a horrible death (I'll exempt Charlie though, and Leah, but that's it).
>>130 xD...Awesome idea...You have my undying allegiance!!!
I would nuke the entire universe it's set in. This way only cockroaches will survive. But this may mean that the chick I don't know the name of, or care for for that matter, will survive and start breeding.
No, better to superheat the surface of the planet and glass the civilisation. That's how I would end the first sentence.
Bella dies a slow, gruesome death (involving the "Brazen Bull") and Edward gets Victorian style clothing, gets an Eastern European accent, stops sparkling and becomes a true vampire.
Why am I picking up with the weird stuff you're posting? XD
I didn't even have to google to know what that one was. Very cruel. I like it!
Everyone in Forks besides Charlie can go die and the books would centered on the Volturi (Thank you, on going Volturi stint!)
>>136 Uhh...I don't think it's a good first impression to have everything I say be something twisted...I hope Twilight ends with lots of sunshine and rainbows! And the Brazen Bull? What's that?!...Do I sound less weird now?
The people making the next film (Breaking Dawn?) have had to change the ending slightly just to make it make more sense.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9_lBuFmrUQ
"... Bella realized how amazingly plain she was and so went to America, turned incredibly fat, and died of a heart attack. Edward was in such loss that his beloved Bella had died and so died in a sparkily death. Jacob had lost his secret love, and his 'plot-love' and so jumped out of the book and murdering Stephanie Meyer for not letting him have Bella he then jumped back into the book, before going onto a homicide mission in which he strapped himself to a nuke and killed everyone. The end."
