Ok well I for one, Think that the twilight vampires are just  a little too fantasized. Vampires are supposed to be dark, deadly, and dangerous. They have a thirst for blood, and will feed when hungry. I do like the idea of the vampire/human thing. The glittering and missing fangs does confuse me, and idk if you should call these creatures vampires. I have never really been into the twilight saga, not one to follow the crowd, but I will not diss Stephanie for her work. Haters are going to hate, thats all there is to it. While the creatures Stephanie explains may not be true vampires, they are what they are and it can't be changed.

If they don't have fangs, don't get hurt in the sunlight, can sustain themselves on animals alone, nor have any of the weaknesses of a vampire. They are not vampires. I appologize but no, They fit the Celtic mythology of the fair folk better. I.E. fairies and elves

I agree, I dislike the sparkling, but I love that they don't have fangs. Two tiny holes? FUCK THAT THEY'RE GONNA TEAR A VICTIM'S NECK APART!!

i agree tht the Vampire Diaries vampires are perfect, i mean i love the vamps in twilight but they shuld have been more like the Vampire Diaries vamps.

I like the fact that they don't sleep, that way Edward can look after Bella while she's sleeping, very romantic!!!!

TEAM EDWARD!!! (I love the new Eclipse stills, too!!!)

As I have told my friends.... We have our Washington Vampires (twilight) (my local) then we have the Virginia Vamps (VD) don't forget Blade, queen of the damned... Lastate. GARLIC.... CROSSES AND HOLY WATER... glad those miths are gone and no Coffins

^^ damonsgirl hah i love that episode. I DO think that they should have retactable fangs like in true blood/ the vampire diaries, and i like that they sparkle! its hot
I also like that they can't sleep.. it kind of explains why they live like they do.. just killing aimlessly(most of them) with no purpose to "life" there is no end to a day for them. no "new beginnings"

i think they should be more like Damon Salvatore from vampire diaries like when he is reading twilight in the tv show this girl asks why don't you sparkle and he says because i live in the REAL world.

Definitely the fangs!

I think I'll take any vampire, sparkle or not! BUT I did love the sparkle sequence. This is the format that SM chose to write her saga and she's done a fangtastic job of it! Fangs or no fangs. You can't take away Edward's chisled facial structure, nor his BEUTIFUL TEETH!! Carry on..............

it would be pretty cool if they could whip out some fangs, i guess. :)=

I think they should have fangs like the vampires in True Blood, retractable. The whole biting things sounds a little less painful to me if they had fangs. Sparkle, I don't know. They needed to be able to come out during the day or there goes the story but I like it that there is something that keeps them out of direct sunlight.

to me the sparking makes sense. I think i heard somewhere that all creatures are naturally attracted to sparkly or shiny things. So it would makes sense that they would sparkle to attract their pray. there are louds of myths that creatures use the light reflection to trick there victims.

I love that she had her own take on vampires, i have read many vampire books that even involve romance and they all had their take on vampires, they would all pretty much be the same thing if they didn't change up on that have you read Kerrylyn Sparks Vampire/romance books she has her own take on them too, I think with all the books I have read I like Stephanie Meyers version of the Vampire the best then Kerrylyn Sparks. If there was one that I think that she could have kept I would say fangs, you do see movies where they retract after killing or consuming blood, so they it wouldn't change their appearance when at school or any other socializing, but I do like it the way it is. I absolutely love her books way to go Stephanie.

I like everything shes done with it, shes kept the basic outline of a vampire but has made it into her own original style, for something like twilight that's the way it has to be otherwise the story wouldn't have the feeling that its meant to have.

Team Jacob Real Men DON'T SPARKLE!!!!!!!!!!! Duh!!

PLEASE............I like the way Twilight was written and don't think they needed anything the old vamps had!!!!Stephanie did a great job and I don't think it could be improved in any way.

I have to admit...I like what Stephenie did with Twilight. She made the vampires her own rather than doing what everyone else has done. I think what she did with her vamps is what partly what made Twilight special.

At first it was weird to wrap my head around SM vamps and the story, but as it unfolds it makes sense. Just my two cents.

I like Stephenie's version. 1. Sparkling in my view is like their skin was literally diamonds 2. Why would a vampire be extremely strong and then burn from sunlight, it really doesn't make sense, so being able to walk in daylight is cool. 3. Fangs- why would they appear anyway? Sure they're cool but not needed cuz if you have seen zombie movies you don't see them growing fangs yet they eat thru humans just fine, right?

vampires shouldn't be able to be under sunlight!!

I DON'T LIKE THE SPARKLING! D: and fangs would have been sexier ;)
buuuuuuuut, I wish Twilight would have kept the invitation to the house, the fact that vampires can't reflect light, so they can't be seen in mirrors or photos.
the bat thing.. it's cool, but it would have been quite weird on Twilight... and to be honest, I really miss the garlic aversion!
Vampire diaries' vamps are pretty cool ;)

I think that they should have kept the fact that they DONT SPARKLE

I would have preferred if being out in sunlight just drained them, like in that show Moonlight. does anyone remember that show? I loved their version of vampires.

I might be the only one, but I like the idea that the Twilight vampires don't have fangs. The scars look cooler, they can blend in more, & it gives them a humanistic look when they turn someone, kinda makes it look more savage, sexier ;)

And I like that turning is so simple for the Twilight vampires, plus (and this may just be my masochistic side talking) I find it fasinating how it's actually more painful for the vampire to stop drinking blood than it is for the actual victim, it makes the vampire really think "Do I want this person to go through what I did, AND are they worth putting myself through this?"

As oppose to in Vampire Diaries where Damon was just like "Hey, I'm bored... you're gonna be vampire *turns* ....oh hey, nevermind, *stakes*"

And yeah, the whole crucifixes and garlic and turning into bats? Don't really miss that lol, I think pretty much every modern day vampire is immune to that stuff now.

VAMPIRES CAN'T BE SEEN IN MIRRORS OR PICS SO WHY DID THEY TAKE A PIC OF THEM AND IT SHOWED??? ALL VAMPIRES DON'T SHOW IN CAMERAS OR MIRRORS

I think that she did her own take on the fangs by saying they had razar sharp teeth so that worked and agree with everyone about the twist on sparkling instead of burning in the sun. What about the no sleeping part?? Personally i like that they didn't sleep but still something different from sleep in a coffin.
