I read all four books, I'll admit it. I have this thing about jumping on bandwagons >.> lol ST/RPF were sort of accidental things I jumped into.
See, Bella and Edward irritate me in fic and canon. Alice and Emmett, however, I love. I also like most of the wolfpack. Jacob is better in fic than he is in the books.
Dude, seriously, you are SO right. Bella is like every Mary Sue I have pointed at and laughed. The books themselves...Meyer had a generally good story on her hands but she lacked proper execution. A lot of the fanfiction is actually better, IMO as well.
Breaking Dawn itself...read a summary of it somewhere if you haven't. It IS bad fanfiction or a really horridly cliche RPG plotline. It's all build up and no climax. If it weren't for all the wolf stuff, I probably couldn't have finished it. Seriously, it is so FLUFF with poor angst that I don't know how her publisher allowed it.
Sorry, I get ranty about Twilight. I blame the constant Robsten coverage on E! >.>
