A Twilight Saga Fansite
Becket Teen Sensations recently published a Twilight edition that focused on the the fan reaction to the series and movie. Unsurprisingly, it was wildly popular, and they are planning another issue. They again want fan input.
They are looking for fans to submit a 50-100 word paragraph on why they like Twilight. You can submit your paragraph to [email protected] .
If you are under 18, please ask your parents’ permission before submitting as they do ask for a photograph as well.
We feel really, really stupid saying this, but for the love of Pete, don’t try cliff diving at La Push, or for that matter don’t try to attempt to get to the islands off-shore where there are cliffs. Jacob and pack are not on hand to save you when it goes bad. For everyone’s sake let’s respect the Quileute lands and use basic common sense. We don’t think there is any kind of mass psychosis that is causing hoards of Twilight fans to lose perspective, but please be aware that the waters off La Push are incredibly rough and unpredictable. check the picture to the left and you can see the waves and current.
Apparently the following occurred at La Push:
“There was a full scale US Coast Guard rescue operation conducted in La Push, WA on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 in La Push, WA. A Twilight fan visiting Quileute from Georgia was rescued from an Island they surmised could be the location where the main character Bella Swan goes cliff diving in the 2nd book of the Twilight Saga New Moon.
Chairwoman Carol Hatch released the following statement following the incident.
The Quileute Nation has been very welcoming of all visitors to La Push, but does not condone behavior that could result in bodily harm to anyone visiting this beautiful land. We understand the eagerness of fans to seek out every detail that is part of the story, but please remember this is a work of fiction.
The Quileute Tribe appreciates the professional service of the Coast Guard.”
This was one lucky fan. Thanks God there is a US Coast Guard Station right there, but let’s not field test their rescue skills unnecessarily!
EDITED: It was apparently a 22-year-old man from Georgia. Not that guys aren’t Twilight fans, but is this striking anyone else as odd? We are starting to wonder if there is much more here than meets the eye.

It looks like Kaleb Nation, the Twilight Guy, is having about as many emails as we have over the nonsense that Kristen Stewart is supposedly having Robert Pattinson’s love child. We blogged about it here. Kaleb has taken a humorous approach to the larger issue at hand.
Rachelle Lefevre talked to the London Free Press about the transition in Victoria’s character from Twilight to New Moon and finally to Eclipse.
“”In the first movie, because I didn’t have as much screen time, I wanted to be very clear. I wanted to convey energy and be very present, but also very playful. And that’s because (Victoria) enjoyed stalking Bella with James.
“But when James is killed, it becomes about exacting revenge, which comes from a totally different place. It’s not just a game any more.”
