So, once there was this girl - well, actually that girl still is - but anyway, this girl who we'll call Emma, for the purposes of now. (Well, actually, we'll call her that because it's her name. But आप get the point.)
Around two, two and a half years ago, when Emma was in sixth grade, one of her फ्रेंड्स - let's call her K, if she must have a name - was पढ़ना a book that looked rather interesting. It was black, with a shiny hard cover, and had an सेब on the front. It was called Houkutus, which translates to Temptation. Emma liked the name and thought it might prove an interesting read, but she never did remember to check out the book at the library.
About a साल after that, what I like to call 'The Twilight Brainwashing' really kicked into gear. This was late 2OO8, and the movie release was just underfoot. Emma hadn't really heard about it, that much, but her फ्रेंड्स were all going on about how Twilight was the best प्यार story they'd ever read. But Emma didn't really like the idea of vampires, so she kept raiding the पुस्तकालय for other पुस्तकें instead.
However, all the way until the क्रिस्मस holidays, Emma just kept on hearing और and और about Twilight, until one दिन when she was eating out with her family in 'celebration' of the spring term starting, she remembered the almost infamous book. So, seeing as they were in a mall, she asked her parents if they could make one tiny little detour... and they agreed. So she went घर with the Twilight book.
She read it all that same evening, and loved it. If आप had asked her, she could not have explained why she loved it... it just 'spoke' to her. The अगला दिन after school, she ran around all the bookshops in Helsinki, trying to find New Moon, but it seemed like she wasn't the only one who had fallen into the Twilight craze around the time the movie was released, since she couldn't find them anywhere. Finally, one of her फ्रेंड्स (We'll call her R) loaned it to her, and she went घर to read the entire 6OO pages in one night.
Once again, she loved it... and cried when Eddykinz left. The अगला day, R loaned her Eclipse, and the same pattern as with New Moon was repeated.
However, R did not have Breaking Dawn. Neither did the bookshops, since it had newly been released. So, Emma ordered it off the internet. The दिन it finally arrived, she was so engrossed in पढ़ना it she accidentally burned dinner. Her mother wasn't too pleased...
So, half a साल passed. When asked about her favourite books, she's reply with 'Harry Potter and Twilight'... yeah, she was one of those people. She went to see the movie, and thought it pretty much sucked. She kept seeing people complain about the lack of plot and terrible quality of writing, but she didn't contest them - they were, she thought, entitled to their own (wrong) opinion.
Until one fateful day, the summer between seventh and eighth grade, Emma decided to start re-reading the series. She kept noticing the lack of plot and terrible quality of लेखन people had been talking about, और and और until Breaking Dawn seemed to be nothing but. That was the दिन she removed 'The Twilight Saga' from her favourite पुस्तकें on her फेसबुक page, and hid the पुस्तकें in her cupboard. Since that day, she has been telling people to stop पढ़ना Twilight and to please read some actual literature instead.
Then one दिन near the end of eight grade, Emma finally found her missing copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and started re-reading the series in celebration. Since that happy, happy day, she has been a full-on Potthead.
Finally, one दिन in June, she was Googling '1OO Reasons Why Twilight Is Better Than Harry Potter', simply for the lulz - the reasons are, आप must admit, stupid. Instead, however, she came upon a website called Fanpop, और specifically the spot called Harry Potter vs. Twilight, and even और specifically the मंच '1OOO reasons why harry potter is better than twilight'. It had around 1OO pages at that time, and she started पढ़ना them, interested. However, she only got to page 2O before she got so impatient she simply made an account and joined in... and the rest, as they say, is history.
