Ahhhhhahaha YES! This quote is made of win.

Stephen King is the King and he just told it like it is, yo. Meyer's creative enough she just...yeah, not a good example of precision language or writing.

:xd: You might have a point there too.

Oh the bluntness, hehe.

I wouldn't say SM can't write a darn, her books are enjoyable, just not that great in terms of quality. Nothing compared to JK or other authors better than JK. Still, he could have been a bit more diplomatic, but ah well :xd:

OH! what now Twilight fans???:lol: jk. Gosh...I just love Stephen King more and more with every interview:lol:

LOL wow that just made my day!

Even if you like Twilight, you have to admit that Stephenie Meyer's writing isn't very good ... especially compared to Jo!

King is AWESOME! Finally! I think all the fangirls will silently retaliate to that one. Good to know he's on Jo's side :D

Haaaaaa. :D I just read it on LJ, and I was like, I hope this is on SS. :xd:

But yeah, he's right; I mean, I've read the Twilight series, and I love the books, but if you put Stephenie Meyer's books vs. JK Rowling's books, there's just no comparision, as JK is one hundred times better. -nods-

Though I agree with someone up there that said he should have been a little bit more diplomatic. :lol: The Twilight Series are Meyer's initial books, after all. :lol:

Lol whoa. That was... my goodness.

That is so mean:( I like Twilight. You're a skunk, King!

And you look like this :gollum2:

BURN!

Ouch! Talk about very blunt!! LOL... I have never read the TS so I cant say anything about it. I have no interest in it. HP I was not interested in either at the time (as everyone faints LOL) but I saw the movies and decided to give the books a go- fell in love w/ HP series, especially the whole Ron/Hermione dynamic :)

Haha. Someones a bit open-minded there. Ah well, he speaks the truth.
:whistle:


(Don't kill me fanny girlies...)

And so is Harry Potter to Jo.

Oh my goodness! This made me laugh soooo hard!! haha yessssssssss!

That IS true. I guess I had forgotten about that. :lol:

Either way, Harry Potter is waaaay better. -nods- But, Stephen King --who's books I LOVE-- should have had some tact. Even if what he said is true. :xd:

AMAZING.

I will memorize this quote by tonight. He is now one of the most amazing people EVER. I --- nope --- he --- amazing. I. LOVE. THAT. QUOTE.

Even HE knows Meyer is horrible! I thought I was the only one !! :D YAY!

Harsh...

It's quite true though. JK is an infinitely better writer when it comes to technique and style. However, I'm a huge Twilight fan & although she's not a good writer, her plots & characters more than make up for it!! [I think she has a better knack for developing characters than JK]

Anywho, both HP & Twilight rock
<3

Lmfaoooo.

All I could think while reading that was, "Boy oh boyyy is Shad gonna love thisssss." :xd: I lost track of how many times he's pretty much said the same thing in his own words. *le sighs* And, while I snickered when I read it and completely agree...Owweee?

I wonder if creating such an unrealistic guy that seems to stem from every woman's dream has anything to do with it. *whistles and loves on Edward regardless*

Even mediocre characters in HP like....STAN *said the first person who came to mind* have more characterization and claim a unique aura that Meyer's characters lack, if you ask me.xD They're just ideals that we can't help but be attracted to. *shrugs*

Amen to this! I used to be a fan of Twilight, now I just wish they would all fall off a cliff or something. Anyone want my copies of the books?

One simply cannot compare the two ladies.

Its logic that in a harrypotter fansite nobody speaks in favor of twiligth. I think it's a really interesting topic, but can't be compared to Harry Potter, they aren't in the same line...I think Stephen King shouldn't be so biased...It's like comparing pears and apples...Magic and Vampires...they are completely different story...sorry....but how do u feel if the twiligth fans start saying crazy things about HP??....common..we hp fans should stand up for our tolerance, bravery and courage..not for criticizing....

That's so blunt. Stephen King makes me laugh. :lol:

LOL that was a little harsh, but great for Jo!!! I havent read anything from the Twilight series, but I know a few people who have, and they all love the books...but I'm a die hard HP fan and it just feels wrong in a way...i dont really know why....

Why should Stephen say anything in any way that isn't exactly how he feels? To spare the Twilighters feelings? Please. He spoke the truth. He's not out to make friends with SM or her fanbase. I applaud him for that.

That was a bit harsh! But, I'll give him props, he has gumption to tell that to legions of Twihards that will pummel him with rocks.

But, of course, even though I am a Twihard, I won't pummel him. Simply because he is Stephen King and he was half way true. :D But I wouldn't say she can't write. She can. Just not as good as JK Rowling.

You're right; wow, that was strong! Glad he's a fan of Jo, but that was really a slap in the face for Twilight's author. Hummm.
