The Controversy of Twilight – Sparkling Vampires
Ever since the release of the first book of Twilight in October 2005, there has always been controversy of the details in the book. One of these are the fact that inside the book, the vampires sparkle (*in the sunlight*). I myself wouldn’t have thought of the idea because I don’t write about vampires. These vampires in the book don’t have all of the qualities that are in the lore. So what?
To be honest and in my writers opinion, having vampires sparkle isn’t as different as Margaret Weis having her dragon’s communicate by thought and colors (in the series of Dragonvarld), or in fact having dragons have four or six limbs.
Far as I can tell, no one actually can control the lore of ANY mythical creature. Movies say werewolves can turn without a full moon and even in book, they don’t need it. Now I know the traditional aspect of a vampire is a creature in the night that drinks blood, be quieter than death, and having them burn in the sun. In many stories there are vampires that are gaunt and in others they are attractive and fatal. Some books have vampires just can’t stand the sun.

you know what i hate. it is the incompetence of people. i mean they all think that Ann Rice’s vampires are the only way a vampire should be. but as Bram Stoker and Stephenie Meyer tried to show people is it is just for you to enjoy. I mean Bram Stoker wrote the first vampire book and Dracula could go out in the sun. he was weaker but he was out there and during the day he was a handsome man. why do people need to tell others they are wrong when them, themselves are to ignorent to even understand the true nature of the genre.
