| | |  Quote of the Week - Stephen King
Renowned American author Stephen King discussed his opinions on contemporary writers recently, praising Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling for her literary work. When asked if his success helped pave the way for other highly successful authors like Jo and Stephenie Meyer (of the Twilight series), Stephen stated he knew that Jo read his stories when she was younger and he believed it influenced her as a writer. Quote:
I think that I serve that purpose for some writers, and that’s a good thing. Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people. ... The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn.

 I love that quote. It just pwns 
I might like Twilight but JK is just so much better that there's no possible comparison

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

AHAHAHA
oh that is so true, omigosh Very well done mr King!
Ive read Twilight, and they are indeed awesome, but cmon! Jo is flabberghatingly greater compared to Meyer. I was honestly surprised that she had a degree in english (or whatever it was that she has...)
But still, both Jo and Stephenie are indeed helping young writers to be get an idea of how they should and could do it themselves 
edit: number 13 to post, Yaaaaaaaaaay!

that hurts :/ but I agree, Rowling's writing is superior to Meyer's, but I do commend Meyer on interesting subject material, although HP is still way better.

Wow. I am laughing so hard right here that people are looking at me funny.
I have to disagree though. I really like Twilight.
But HP is better of course.

HAHAHAHAHA I always did love Stephen King A truly talented writer can obviously weed out the good from the bad. He's very direct, isn't he? That was a brilliant quote.

LMFAO. Go Stephen. I really love the Twilight series, and yet I'm not a member of any of the fansites. HP is just more captivating! | |
