madapanda's favourite character: Edward
Edward's my favorite male character. I've always been interested in characters that have lived for a certain amount of time, and they carry something with them all those years. They aren't able to let it go so to speak. For Edward, it's guilt. Everything that he's done, he thinks he's a monster and that he's damned to live an eternity of emptiness. But Bella comes into the picture and appeases that guilt. She fills that emptiness. And you see Edward change. She works in Edward and he eventually realizes that he is capable and worthy of love. He's completely selfless when it comes to Bella or his family. He would risk anything for them. Even though he's a vampire, that right there, is the humanity in him. Wanting to keep people he loves safe. We catch more glimpses of his humanity as he is inspired to play music. I find him a very interesting character because despite what he is, he wants to be a better person. Again, that's his humanity. As people, if we need improvement on something, we try and better ourselves. That's exactly what Edward is doing but in a more intense perspective.
2. Who is your favourite female character and why?
I don't really have a favorite female character to be honest. Maybe Esme. I can relate to her because I'm very passionate towards the things I love. And, even though they aren't her real children, I absolutely love the fact that she sees them as her own. She loves them despite their mistakes. Plus, she's extremely nice. She accepts Bella even though she isn't a vampire. She wants the best for Edward, and she sees the change in him. The change Bella brought to him.
3. When did you first hear of twilight series? I think the first time I heard of the series was in 2006? I read it a while later and it was what I needed. It helped me with my personal problems. Also, I've met some awesome people through the Twilight fandom and Fanpop. So Twilight played a part in my life and I can't abandon my love for the series, no matter how crazy the fandom gets. :)
4. You have a fanatic medal. So, how hard did you try to earn it?
I didn't really care for the medal. It's nice to be awarded for being a fan, that's for sure, but I wasn't intending to get something out of it. I just posted links that I thought were important for people to know. What the actors were up to, or facts about the movie production. And I guess that was enough to be rewarded. Even though I'm not getting anything out of it, I still post links every so often. It's fun! Sharing is caring :)
5. Which twilight movie is your favourite and why?
Eclipse is my favorite twilight movie. It was the one that portrayed the characters the best, though, they were still far off. The movies will never compare to the books, but that's to be expected. Eclipse, Edward and Bella actually felt like a couple. In the previous movies, the direction of the film never showed them as a couple. They were always afraid of touching each other. But in Eclipse, they were united. However, the emotions of the books are still absent in the movies. The movies could definitely be improved. But I'm still grateful of all the work put into them, even though they usually turn out as not so great.
6. Which twilight couple you prefer and why? (besides Edward/Bella and Bella/Jacob)
Since I can't choose E/B, I can't really chose any others. I love all the stories of how the couples met. Jasper's hope, his Alice. Emmett's Angel, his Rosalie. Carlisle's wife, his Esme. So heartbreaking, but so good. Haha they're all really great and I can't really chose.
7. Best twilight related spot?
On Fanpop? The only one I visit is The Twilight Series spot. Basically the first one on Fanpop. That's good enough for me. That's the central spot where the most activity is. I'm not saying the other ones aren't important, but it just seems that they were created just to create another spot.
8. Which twilight movie you think has the best soundtrack?
This is a hard one! But I think Eclipse. I like the songs on the first one. But some of them didn't really have anything to do with what was happening in movie. There are some amazing tracks such as "Never Think"/"Let Me Sign" and "Flightless Bird" that have been played on my ipod so many times, but other than a few songs, the Twilight soundtrack couldn't really be related to the movie. New Moon, I don't really like any of the songs on there except "Monsters" and "No Sound But the Wind". Eclipse has the most songs that fit perfectly. Though some song placements are questionable. But Eclipse is my favorite definitely.
9. Would you like more twilight books after breaking dawn?
More books to continue the story? Probably not. Personally, I didn't like Breaking Dawn as a whole, but there were some moments in the book that I liked. I think the end where Edward could read Bella's mind, that was the perfect ending. How Bella showed a mental montage of them both throughout everything they've been through... I think that was the perfect note to end on. However, I would like Midnight Sun... Like seriously. I really want that book. I think it may reignite the passion from fans that have lost their love for the series. Plus, what we have gotten so far... how could you not want it to be finished? The metaphors Edward uses to explain his draw towards Bella and his love for her... that's what I want to see. So poetic and it's written pretty well. :)
10. The final question: Team Edward, Team Jacob or Team Switzerland and why?
I am Team Edward, or prefer Edward. I don't usually answer "team" questions because I don't see the point of them since Bella is with Edward, but I am Team Edward. Reasons why is because Edward loves her more than anything. He puts her above himself, above everything. He has risked his life more than once to keep her safe. And if she wants something, he is willing to give her what she wants, as long as it keeps her safe. So if she wanted a human or even Jacob, even though it would probably cause him heartbreak, he is willing to bare the pain that would cause him, so that Bella could be with whom she wanted. "I am here until she orders me away." That is probably the most noble act. That much devotion for someone...
Why is Rosalie so unpopular in the Twilight fandom?
She seems anything but a Mary Sue, and believe me when I say that. She's vain, shallow, and kind of hostile towards Bella at first. She's not perfect. She's no Disney princess who sings to chipmunks and has little animal friends who cater to her every whim. She has a temper that puts a lion with a bad case of PMS to shame on that count.
Remember that the way she acted to Bella was only because she felt threatened. She thought Bella was going to reveal their secret. That just shows that she cares about the safety of her family, right?
Can you imagine being shown up by someone clearly inferior to you? That might sting.
Rosalie really isn't that bad. Just that after reading a few hundred pages of limited insight about Rosalie, when all of a sudden she goes all soft, the damage done might not be reversible.
So please hear me when I say that Rosalie isn't such a horrible character. She really isn't.

Max's POV
When we rushed in Sergeant Ray office and I saw Addi lying there on
the floor anger just rushed over me. Sergeant Ray quickly tried to
fight us but between the both of us we had him pinned down on the
floor within seconds. As Jordan was holding Sergeant Ray on floor I
rushed over to Addi. I checked to see if she was breathing and that
made me a little calmer but not enough. So I grabbed the phone on the
desk and called 911. When the police and ambulance arrived I was happy
cause I knew that she was going to be okay and Sergeant Ray was going
to jail. Jordan and I had to stay on campus we weren't allowed to
leave.

Personally I read Twilight because kids kept bugging me because I haven't read it yet.
But after reading all four books I feel in love with them. I wasn't a fan of the writing style or the romance. I prefer girl-on-girl. But I fell in love with Edward and Jacob.
The characters are lovable. Now I hated Bella she was annoying but that's the only thing I dislike. I love the ending to Breaking Dawn. And love New Moon.
Edward left in that book I almost skipped it.
As of right now; Meyers is my favorite author.
She is way better then JK Rowling and Stephen King.
I used to love HP until I read Twilight.
Now I used to write before reading Twilight...and just suddenly realized my writing was nothing compared to Twilight. That's why I'm writing a vampire novel that I hope to publish in the near future.
