Vampire fandom wars!

Or not.

But there was a group of people saying that Twilight is actually just copying Anne Rice. I... wut? I don't remember sparkling high school angst in the Vampire Chronicles. I haven't read all of her books, but I've read the books that they were referencing specifically and I just don't see it. Like, at all. Really, the only connection is that they have vampires. Anne Rice didn't invent vampires, lol.

One person was like 'If Anne Rice could hear you...' lol. Of course, since Anne Rice has been ~~~saved~~~ I'm not sure what reaction she'd have to their argument now. lol :P

I'm not going to rabidly defend Twilight. Sure, I really do like the books. But I know they're bad. That doesn't stop me from enjoying them though. lol

It's just random arguments like this or when people spout off reasons for not liking Twilight that are actually not true... I just boggle at them. Usually I just find them funny, because people end up sounding like idiots. xP
