Meyer didn't start it though, there were shitty vampire romance novels for a long time but they were kept in the adult romance novel section for the most part. I think its all Anne Rice's fault :X

Maybe Meyer didn't start it but she's now the torch bearer for it. It's such a shame that there's a lot of people who will never discover the joys of a decent book because they are too enthralled by the bile that Meyer and the like spew into the world.

Lets focus on the positive! Let The Right One In was a huge improvement over any of Rice's vampire novels.

True, true. I just get sad thinking about how much people are missing out on when they tell me they 'don't read'

It's really a shame to lump a bunch of the current generation of authors in with Stephanie Meyer. That's not really fair.

I'm a fan of Vicki Pettersson's "Zodiac Series." Pettersson's managed to introduce some novel ideas into a crowded field. And she has the good grace to wrap the series up with the sixth book coming out this June and quitting while the character is still fresh, rather than milking it for 12 books like she could have. Although, to be accurate, her heroine is more of a demon hunter than anything else.

I'm also a fan of Mario Aceveo's The Nymphos of Rocky Flats, X-Rated Blood Suckers and The Undead Kama Sutra. Here's what you need to know: "Felix Gomez went to Iraq a soldier. He came back a vampire. Now he's a private eye." Imagine Raymond Chandler started writing vampire novels ... only Dave Barry was his editor.

I kind of felt myself being represented by "Can't Read a Wall of Text" unless that is refering to people who have to write a novel to respond to any basic question.

Well, self loven isn't on the troll thing. What bothers me now is Krotan, Despanan and Tag Team effort have squares. That is three squares for two people. And the biggest thing complain about me, is the post makes no sense.

Thats true, they could have their own block, but there's also the Lakita/Albert Mond tag team effort. Mond should still get his own block though because there are times I think it is but I'm rarely sure.

I though Lakita and Mond got banned. Oh well.

Well, not everyone should have the same bingo cards, so different combos could appear on different squares depending on which card you get (although I think Alan should be the center square on EVERY card.)

Desp, Kontan, and Desp/Kontan certainly deserve AT LEAST 3 squares.

We make this shit WORK.

Says you, Despanan. I suppose you make the whole thread and everything on Gothic.net popular. No one else contributes!
