Re: Stephenie Meyer or JK Rowling
In recent years Rowling has fallen down the well of trying desperately to keep people interested. I find it the most embarrassing to watch the woman I once idolized go on about how Dumbledore was gay, as if it means anything if it wasn't in the book.
Myer on the other hand, knows her time has passed, she stays in her lane. EL James made bank off of a Twilight fanfiction and she didn't throw a fit. You have to appreciate her, especially juxtaposed next to others in her genre like Anne Rice, who would have lost her proverbial sh*t over something like 50 Shades.

I agree that JK's books will most likely be read for years and years to come by a lot of people but probably not so much Stephenie Meyers. Also, it's really hard to compare two authors. Especially because these books are still very different settings and ideasJazmin17 wrote: ↑05 Jul 2015, 19:43 I prefer JK Rowling. Both have done very well for themselves and have written captivating and successful novels. JK Rowling to me wrote a better story in my opinion. The Harry Potter series are classics and I think people will still be reading them in years to come. The Twilight series on the other hand will be read a lot less. I prefer JK Rowling's writing style and her creativity which is rare.

I agre on this one. Rowling had embedded Harry Potter deep within us because we grew up with it. It's part our childhood. It's amazing.

True. Nothing, absolutely nothing can compete with that feeling. It is not a book series for us, but it is a part of our childhood and teenage. Even today I can go back to Harry Potter any day, any time and find a younger version of myself waiting for me! It is truly magic for me, in a way!

I totally agree with this, although I feel that Rowling has a tendency to want to control her characters right down to the minutest detail, and for me personally, I'm definitely not a fan. That is not to say however, that I dislike the series. I thoroughly enjoyed going on a journey with Harry, and find myself rereading the series from time to time.

We all waited for our owls. Even now, I'd still relate owls and wands to Harry Potter. I mean who wouldn't want to go to a magic school? Harry Potter is truly a blessing for the child or teenager within us. Since it's customary when we meet a Potterhead, what House would you be in if ever?Aryastark wrote: ↑02 May 2018, 21:18briellejee wrote: ↑02 May 2018, 20:40I agre on this one.

Considering how nerdy I am, I think I would be in Ravenclaw. In fact, I was sorted to Ravenclaw by Pottermore. I am too lazy to get into Hufflepuff, and hopefully not so cunning to get into Slytherin..briellejee wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 03:37We all waited for our owls.

Omg I am in Ravenclaw too! It's almost a tie between it and Slytherin.
