Stephenie Meyer is corny as shit, but she thinks she’s hot shit because of the whole Twilight thing. That’s sorta over now and I don’t think anyone cares anymore (besides maybe Nutty Madam, but that’s not something to brag about), but Stephenie still feels the need to express her exasperation at the very franchise that transformed her boring Mormon housewife life and made her a multi-millionaire. She’s a true artist! She wants to work on other things! Insert eyeroll here.
From Variety:
“I get further away [from Twilight] every day. I am so over it. For me, it’s not a happy place to be.”
Here’s what she said when asked if she’d ever return to Twilight:
“What I would probably do is three paragraphs on my blog saying which of the characters died. I’m interested in spending time in other worlds, like Middle-earth.”
Uh… doesn’t Middle-Earth belong to a totally different (and way better) franchise? Try again, lady. I seriously think she needs to ride the end of the vampire wave while it lasts, because the fanaticism over that kinda shit is on the outs and she doesn’t have much more time to try and make a few more million off of bored teenagers before she fades back into obscurity.
