syncope | (no subject)

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'm rereading Forbidden Game right now, *lol*. It cracks me up to see people flipping out SO BAD about how OMG TERRIBLE they are, though. As a YA and chick lit guilty pleasure reader from way back, I want to ask "Are you new?" As writing quality goes, LJ Smith is about the middle of that pack--and the things are twenty years old.
