OpaquexSmiles's Journal

It seems that every story on Quizilla now-a-days has something involving vampires. Don't get me wrong, I love vamps as much as the next girlie, but it's getting cliche now. Honestly, I can't fathom how many stories there are involving a scene-looking teenager falling in love with some Vampire prince. Or having to be turned into a slave or being in kidnapped. Granted there are a few that of those I absolutely love to pieces, it's just after a while, it gets annoying seeing yet another story pop up with that same concept. And its more than likely lacking originality. In the end, the girl and the guy will fall in love. Does anyone not have happy endings anymore?

Hello, there. This is OpaquexSmiles. So, I'm just sort of venting. I recently finished reading Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer. Feel free to disagree with me on this, but I think many people feel the same way. By the way, there are some spoilers in this. Do not read if you haven’t completed the book.

Breaking Dawn left a terribly terribly empty hole in my heart. I actually feel like crying. That's not how I expected it to end. To me if feels like, Mrs. Meyer made an exception for Bella and Edward. Hypothetically, Edward's sperm should have frozen because he is a vampire. So, it would be impossible to impregnate Bella. His sperm should have already been dead.

Because of that fact, the book seemed somewhat fake. But I suppose as the author they can make anything they want happen. To me, the ending was something a teenager would write. Just stuff to tie up loose ends and make sure everyone has a happy conclusion.

I’m not saying I could do better. But I just feel kind of empty right now. Empty, disappointed, disheartened. I haven’t felt this disappointed at the end of a book in years. Breaking Dawn gave me closure, but not the closure I needed to put down the book, lean back and say, “Amazing.”

Don’t get me wrong though, it did have a lot of very good scenes. It had a lot of hilarity to it and it showed a lot of mature things that we hadn’t seen in the series yet. Still, I feel like the ending ended all to happily. I am glad that none of the main characters died. But everything seemed to fall all to perfectly. There wasn’t any big ultimate fight scene. No one got their heart irreversibly broken. Everything just seemed to end the way we wanted it. And to that means, it was somewhat disappointing. The only major plot twister was the whole Bella getting pregnant and having a Halfling thing. Which, by the way, many other young writers (some peeps on FF.net) created something similar to the whole Halfling philosophy. (Woman getting pregnant by vamp.)

Anyway, that’s just about it. Of course, I still love Stephanie Meyer and all her books. And I give Breaking Dawn a five out of five. :D

You know what? Love Sucks.

This is a story that is basically about love and the conflicts that come when faced with it. I'm going to be introducing some interesting features that have yet to be brought into many of the stories I have read on Quizilla. Some of them include: female characters that aren't air headed and actually let their opinions be heard. Male characters that aren't amazingly sexy, but average. As well as, some people without sexy emo flippy hair. (But don’t get me wrong, there will be some of that too.) I have noticed that many of the stories on Quizilla nowadays, are similar in the way the characters act and look. All the male characters have emo haircuts; all the female characters are “emo” or instantly fall in love with a male character in like two chapters. This whole emo, scene stuff is getting played out, so I want to revolutionize the way stories are written, by adding personalities that are often erased from a good story. Not every girl/guy you meet has an abusive parent, is depressed, or is a loner; overall any trait that characterize a female/male in stories lately. Characters that have bubbly, happy-go-lucky personalities are way to often subtracted from stories. So, in short, I’m going to make a story that is emolicious, happy, vampire-rific, sexy, dark, the works. But before I do that, I want to see how many people actually understand what I’m saying and somewhat agree with me. Yeah, feedback people.

Kthnxbye lol

Lovey, OpaquexSmiles
