Synopsis:

I have a lot of ideas and half finished WIPs, but for this year's attempt at NaNo, I'm rewriting Twilight. I'm calling it "Twilight: Revamped". Yes, you read that right.

While I am not a fan of Stephenie Meyer's execution, I do like the original idea- despite the fact that on first read the heroine made me so angry that I winged the book across the room 20 pages in. And vampires? SHOULD. NOT. SPARKLE. EVER.

I think if I do this I will finally be able to stop complaining about this book. It's a "put up or shut up" sort of move, if you will, a sort of exorcism. And since the next movie is coming out in November, it's also oddly fitting.

If you're curious, I'm posting it all on LJ at lait_au_cafe. If you're not, no worries- I won't take it personally.
