(Side note: there are those who think Bella is a wuss. There are those who think my stories are misogynistic—the damsel in distress must be rescued by strong hero.
To the first accusation, I can only say that we all handle grief in our own way. Bella's way is no less valid than any other to my mind. Detractors of her reaction don't always take into account that I'm talking about true love here, rather than high school infatuation.
I emphatically reject the second accusation. I am all about girl power—look at Alice and Jane if you doubt that. I am not anti-female, I am anti-human. I wrote this story from the perspective of a female human because that came most naturally, as you might imagine. But if the narrator had been a male human, it would not have changed the events. When a human being is totally surrounded by creatures with supernatural strength, speed, senses, and various other uncanny powers, he or she is not going to be able to hold his or her own. Sorry. That's just the way it is. We can't all be slayers. Bella does pretty well I think, all things considered. She saves Edward, after all. Side note/rant over. Back to the story.)
My Issue: Sure, we can't all be slayers. But we can certainly be proactive once in a while and not just throw the towel in when things get tough. There isn't always a handsome guy to save you, and it gets a little monotonous for readers when almost every conflict is saved with the help of the hero. The heroine is pretty much helpless.

The musings of a man reading Twilight. Freaking hilarious. I actually laughed. out. loud.
There's a part for each chapter, and he's started on New Moon, too. Enjoy.
