Before I had any right to dismiss Twihards or criticize the psychologically unhealthy relationship model that Bella Swan and Edward Cullen present, I felt obliged to read the books. So I did. All four novels, one novella, and an incomplete document in portable format. The content lived down to my expectations, but I was unprepared for how poorly crafted the saga is.

Question with 93 notes

Anonymous asked: Dear Dana: Please come back with the funny?

My grandfather died. I’ve been moping. Rest assured, I’ll be back (and when I do, I’m coming back with a shiny new laptop that doesn’t shut down randomly while I’m working).

  2. rewritetwilight said: I love how we were all toe-tapping, wondering where you were, and now we’re all “No, no, it’s fine! Don’t worry about posting at all! Blog? What blog? I’ll just go back to the YouTube parodies.” We all love you Dana!!! Feel happy again soon sweetie.
  3. mizzgerken said: I’m so sorry! I’ve lost grandparents on both sides and miss them all sorely. We all understand your mopey-ness and look forward to your return when you’re ready. BTW, when you’re back to the funniness can you share any thoughts on 50 Shade of Grey?
