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.

Couldn't agree more. I hated it so much I stopped even before the end of the first one.
And Elena in the book is definitely a lot worst than she is on the tv, and I not even like her on tv! So you can imagine how is my distasteful with her on the book.
