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.

I actually think they are WORSE than Twilight. But like the show, the brotherslash kinda jumps off the page in a very intense way. There is one scene I cannot believe made it into a published YA novel O.o

As for comms, are you reading? If not, probably the best source of news, clips etc is tvd_fans. If you're into the slash I co-mod a Damon/Stefan comm salvatoreslash which has fic, discussion etc. of a broyay variety, and there is also tvd_fic.

And I'm sure you're aware of Amber's friending meme?

I joined the com.

(What happens in this not to believed scene?)

I even filled out the damned friending meme.
