Dimlight: A Twilight Movie Parody

Backed while I can still type. i'm laughing so much I can barely see the keyboard.

Sure a couple of editing nits, who hasn't? I love this, the parody, the wit. Hell is just damned funny.

As I said, Backed with pleasure and heartily recommended to anyone who enjoys an entertaining read.

I agree with most of the comments about the story, so won't go into them. When Beauty ducks, it's a bitter-sweet moment. She has probably been teased about her surname in the past - but effectively nips it in the bud at her new school. She sounds like a cross between Bella from Twilight and Elena from the Vampire diaries.

You seem a little confused about use of apostrophes . I recommend reading {The chapter about apostrophes in "Watch Your Language" , another authonomy book} Also, you tend to over use 'and' , where you could use shorter sentences.

I find Twilight rather po-faced, so think I will enjoy this book. Only read a couple of paragraphs so far, but looks good. Had to stop reading as it's late at night.

I love parodies and I've read Twilight, so totally appreciate what you have done. Excellent.

A spoof movie has just come out, a parody of the Twilight movies / werewolf etc and I backed this because of the tedium of all these plots. However on a serious note, you can write but need to tighten it up some, Your sentences turn around corners and keep going if you get my drift. Best of luck.

Ohmygod. This is hysterical!
I'm still laughing. I was literally laughing out loud the entire time i read your book! You are way too funny i hate twilight so much it's horrible and you have made the perfect parody to twilight. this should definitly be out there for all the twilight haters i enjoyed it so much and i know so many people who would love this!
the small things you made fun of were awesome - like how "i really need to get chapstick fro my lips, they're getting so dry from me biting them all the time" hahaha!
i. love. this. book! backed! still laughing :D :D

Too funny! What a riot!

Sharon, you are a star! A parody of the vampire genre sounds easy enough - they're so open to ridicule - but you've really nailed it with this book. laugh-out-loud funny and such a great eye for seeking out the areas where the "real" books leave themselves wide open. I'm backing this one with great pleasure. Clever, clever stuff.

"I knew right at that moment I looked into his eyes that I would break his heart. Just for the heck of it." I knew this girl. I met her. God, I must be Benjie! When we were younger, she used to wipe her dirty feet on me like I was a door mat. You're writing my biography, right! In that case, I have to back you.

Seriously, this is a riot. Simply, it's a fine comedy for the YA market, but also great for seniors (close to death folks), too. Good luck with this.

A very amusing readable book. I liked the 'Fictional creature this way' notice. Your style is witty and pleasant. The first person narrator is a great character, and her voice is just right for a teenage girl with individuality. 'Beauty Duck' is a brilliant name, and I loved the way she crouched down with her hands to her ears when the teacher announced it. Backed.

Hysterically funny. I was nervous because I read a Harry Potter parody a few years ago and hated it. But this one I like.

Backed!

Hi Sharon,
I thought this was brilliant, it's such a refreshing change from the norm and full of 'giggles' right from the start. I love a good 'piss take' - especially when its done to something that I actually enjoy - you managed to bring out the absurdity of some of the elements of the story without putting me off. Really happy to place this on my shelf.
Best of luck,
James (The Lycetta Legacy).

Join the fun club, there are funny books and funnier books, but yours has hit the high spot.

We can't stop laughing.


We willl try and back this buok today.

Eleanor and Sharkey.

A great fun read that is worthy of a place on my shelf.

Good luck with it.

UK spell check brings......whatsoever......as one word.....you have.....what so ever......? American spell check is very different though, isn't it?

mom's dad'd dad'd grandmother.....I sat working that out.....it irrated me.....how about....great great grandmother.....gosh is that it? see what I mean......

Chapter 2
No need for the brackets.... Your writing voice is rythmatic and powerful enough for the reader to heighten and lighten in there minds eye when needed......I'd delete the word 'also' from the brackets....

I love the name Beauty...........I had a Barbie & Ken doll, the reference made me smile...

I enjoyed the read, fabulouse premise. great story....

Shelved with pleasure

Lol! This is great! Truly funny stuff. You've got the knack, that's for sure! Backed!

There have been a few Twilight parody books recently (New Moan being the pick of the bunch) and I would rate this up there with any that have been published. Funny with enough of a parallel to the original to give fans a few extra laughs, but unique enough to stand out to those who have so far avoided the Twilight phenomenon.

Great read and backed.

A Christmas Carol Retold

A light-hearted, fresh fantasy that will surely appeal to the YA. Backed with pleasure. Best, Sana

It would be so easy to just leave a 'this is great' kind of comment but I enjoyed this and see the potential in it so much that I'll elaborate.

I think you can slow it down. It is, as everyone below says, very funny. But it felt too quick for me. It felt as if you were playing for laughs - which of course you ARE, but it needs to feel as it could be read by somebody who hasn't read Twilight. At the moment, you really wouldn't get this at all if you hadn't. Clearly somebody who hadn't read Twilight wouldn't 'get it', but it still needs to flow like a novel. Whilst the lampooning of names 'Spoons' etc are brilliant, I just felt it went to quickly. Perhaps because it was so enjoyable?

Very funny though - enjoyed it a lot. Cx

An amusing read. A few typos to sort out...
Overall, I found it more readily entertaining than 'Nightlight' - the Harvard Lampoon's parody of the same book.

Fun read, great writing, good premise. I'll back this for you. Dave

WHen people on here categorise their stuff as comedy, I feel almost dutybound to say it was funny - well, in the end I don't, and don't comment. This is actual, proper, comedy - worth paying to read. I thought you did a superb job in a light, straightforward style that worked really well on me. Couple of edity bits, but the one that leapt at me was the apostrophe in the final word. Great, great stuff! SImon

A Twilght parody? What's not to like? Best wishes!

Debra

LMAO!!! Oh man, this is so funny. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE the original, but I can totally see this as one of those Scary Movie spoofs. From the cover to the chapped lips to the voices in her mother's head- simply hilarious! I will definitely be reading more of this one!

Hi,
One small crit - when you use a question mark the reader knows the following bit of speech is a question so you don't need to say 'asked' or 'replied'.
Whatsoever is one word.
Drop the word 'had' fromtthe first sentence.
With editing the light style of your descriptive and narrative prose will rock.
You have a good ear for dialogue and it shows.
The story is engaging and a pleasurte to read.
Backed.

This is actually really funny.
Honestly I laughed a million times in the first chapter.
WTF?
Meant in the most kindest way possible.

A note, there are some editing issues. THis is good fun. But certain things like what-so-ever
and other punctuation issues. ThoughI understand this is for fun and really only read it for the entertainment that it was.
haha

Now this is more MY kind of vampire book! (just don't let my daughter find out!) You do teenspeak very well and your characters do not feel 2 D. A popular genre at the moment, I hope it does well. Jim D Serpent's Blood

HAHAHAHA this is hilarious actually. I'm not a huge lover of her books, I somewhat hold a grudge against them... but in any event, I'll back yours for giving me a good laugh :)

Hi, this is a parody of the movie NOT the books. I am not being offensive to S.Meyer (I loved her books) or the fans. This was done for fun.
