A Letter to my favorite fan site...

Recently, my favorite fan site Letters To Twilight did a post on the Moviefone biggest Twilight fan contest... And boy did I have a lot of things to say about THAT! I don't disagree with them AT ALL...and I think it's about time a fellow fan, such as myself, speaks up about the steroetypes that come with being a Twilight fan... I will never take a bullet for a member of the cast... For the record...




To get my message across, I decided to write them a letter of my own in hopes they may use it on their site one day... Here it is..

Dear LTT,
I'm sure you get hundreds of these love letters a day.. I mean, what's not to love? You speak the truth, your sense of humor is pretty much flawless (mainly because I have the same witty humor you posess) and you'd shed your panties for Rob/Ron or The Gos equally with no shame... I visit your site religiously on a daily basis... Yes, religiously... "You are my life now..." However, the day you wrote to Moviefone/Summit about their biggest fans, I sadly missed it and caught it 3 days late.. When I read that particular post... Something caught my eye. I pretty much pulled a Harry Clearwater & croked when I saw that girl in the video. Oddly enough, I always feel like Miami (my hometown) lacks Twilight fans.. Lo and behold, the girl on the video you guys talked about is a TwiFan I made fun of a few months ago at the Moviefone New Moon event.. Right here... In my humble little town in Florida... My friends and I love Twilight.. truly we do.. Most of us met at conventions sadly and we share a lot of the same likes.. We get together every once in a while to do things non-twi related but when a new movie comes around, I have my group of 'normals' ready to share the excitement with. Nonetheless, we're not THOSE fans...


You know, the ones who dress up in ruffle-y blue dresses with grandma cardigans for our Office Christmas Dinner Party or literally SCREAM when Mike Newton comes on a stage... We go to Twi events and show little to no enthusiasm when the news cameras come to our group. Don't get me wrong, we're happy to be there, but not to the extent that we want the Newspaper doing an article about our sanity in which our giant Cuban family will surely hear about it and bring it up at the next Christmas Eve party... (btdubbs, KUDOS on the Elian Gonzalez reference..) anyway, we're THOSE fans.. I really do consider us normal.. to some point. We've got a solid group of about 10 people and we share the same views on Twi.. Anyway, point being, THIS GIRL (who happens to be that girl who disgraces TwiFans everywhere and gives us a bad name) is from Miami... the place where Twifans are normally DORMANT.. like HERPES. They only show themselves when a new movie comes out and barely know about Twi events happening in the area. Our last convention had about 50-100 people.. No joke. And I think most of them came from out of town. So with that said, I just need to say that we're not ALL psychos in Miami. This was one of the girls who gave Mike Newton's girlfriend (who happened to be sitting right behind her) the stink eye when he wanted her to stand up and wave at the crowd... Me and my friends 'awwed' like normal people would... However, homegirl gave the BEST Kristen Stewart stinkeye/bitchface I've ever seen to that poor girl... Poor Newton. I'm pretty sure they actually 'booed' at one point. She sang a SONG in which she "wrote for Mike" to our local news, while we literally gawked and had every intention of going home after seeing it.. Or punch her in the face...



We're good fans. Yes, I DO have a Robward twitter name (don't judge me), but we don't wear unexplainable wedding veils... or have Twi tattoos; but we do have our share of Rob posters from that orgasmic Vanity Fair shoot. My question is, how far is too far? When will people/fans realize that people make fun of Twilight because of the fans not because of the sparkly vampire? errr... Well, Okay maybe they make fun of the sparklepeen too. BUT STILL... How can fans get upset about people making fun of them, when there are crazies out there like this who prove that the majority of the fans are weird..? This isn't counting all the OTHER crazies who entered the contest. Lord knows how many cougaritas I would have to consume to enter a contest like that.. I'd probably submit a video while inebriated off said cougaritas from T.G.I Friday's and eating Hot Pockets while moaning along to Never Think.. That's a true fan Moviefone. Obviously.



And there you have it folks... The inner musings of a Twilight fan.. Yes, I'm obsessed with the films, books and cast but not to the point where I'd die for them.. Chill with the heat. And for those of you who CONSTANTLY make fun of ALL Twilight fans, remember we don't ALL belong in the looney bin.. Only some, and my friends and I do not fall into that category... Nor do we think EVERYONE IN THE WORLD should love Twilight... Get real. I'm just saying.
