I just closed a tab that was a page on Henry Jenkins' website. My friends suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I attempted to wade through that ponderous prose and just gave up and asked for a summary. Yet I kept the tab open...thinking I would read it? Idk.



Seriously, do I need to read the books? I am inclined to read them so I can negotiate the show from the proper perspective, but I hesitate as I was burnt on THAT OTHER VAMPIRE CRAPFEST TEEN SERIES. How bad are they, with Twilight as the gold standard?



Are there coms and junk yet? I just dumped all the ontds off my fl so I have room for new garbage coms I can scroll over.

Yeah. And I have heard that the fifth book, the one that was recently released is horrid (by what standard) but yeah. So I'd stick to the first four if you are looking for relevance.

I hear the experience is painful.
