Twilight

Twilight is a novel by Stephenie Meyer. It is the first novel in a series and the name is also often used to refer to the series as a whole. There is now also a film of the book.

The plot of this novel, and the ensuing series, revolves around an incredibly clumsy girl named Bella moving to a near-perpetually rainy town, in which charming location she falls in love with a stunningly handsome, sullen and emotionally distant vampire known as Edward Cullen. Her sometime childhood friend Jacob Black also attracts some attention, and turns out to be a werewolf. Wangst over this conflict ensues.

The books continue throughout Edward and Bella's tormented relationship, and her insistence upon being turned into a vampire so that she can stay perpetually young with him.

The Species
Twilight vampires are all supernaturally gorgeous. They don't die in sunlight. Instead, they sparkle. They have cold, marble-like skin. If a vampire drinks human blood, their eyes cycle between red and black depending on how recently they've fed. If they survive on animal blood, replace gold/amber instead of the red, and add a hefty dose of angsty worry over whether they'll slip and kill a human. Humans sometimes smell special to a particular vampire. To Edward, Bella smells irresistibly of freesia, leaving him constantly on the verge of ripping out her throat. She does not seem to mind this.

Twilight werewolves, in the immortal term coined by Cleolinda, fursplode. They are described as exploding into their werewolf forms. They're a Native American tribe, and enemies to the vampires, whom they imaginatively refer to as 'Cold Ones'.

The Mockery
Due to elements such as sparkling vampires and a love story in which it is presented as natural and romantic to rip out the engine of a girl's truck so she won't go visit those dangerous werewolf friends, not to mention Edward's disturbing habit of creeping into Bella's room at night to watch her sleep and other such behavior that critics have described as emotional abuse and stalking, the books have attracted strong criticism and much mockery, similar to Eragon, only more so. The fact that Bella's physical appearance is uncannily similar to Meyer's doesn't help matters much, as it leads some people to call Bella a Canon Sue (among various other, less pleasant names).

Plot elements include a half-vampire baby that breaks Bella's spine while it is in the womb, requiring Edward to do a ceasarean section with his fangs. When this aforementioned half-vampire is born, Jacob "imprints" on her, which makes him fall hopelessly and irreversibly in love with her/it. For some reason, this bizarre form of pedophilia is completely accepted by all the characters, including the baby. On top of this, it is mentioned that they will be married as soon as Renesmee (the baby) is old enough- seven years old, to be precise. To quote Cleolinda again, "Twilight means never having to say you're kidding."

It is, however, a genuine canon continuum, and thus requires protection by any Agents who can stomach it without trying to kill the characters.

The fandom
Twilight is responsible for the latest fanfic explosion due to its large number of fans. Since very few agents can survive the continuum for very long, those who do are severely overworked and more insane than most. Due to the shortage of agents, the continuum itself has taken heavy damage which may be irreparable.

The Twilight fandom scares many. A number of its members are adolescent Fangirls, or the "TwiMoms", older women just as drawn to it who act exactly the same way as the fangirls- an unpleasant combination that ends up being both creepy and annoying. It is highly prone to Suefics and 'ship wars, the latter of which has a disturbing tendency to spill over into real life (up to the point where Burger King used "Team Edward vs. Team Jacob" as part of a marketing gimmick). Twilight fans are rumoured to have a propensity for attacking those who state they dislike the series in any way; whether these attacks take the form of simple flaming or more direct action is unknown. Accuracy is not 100% clear, but caution is advised nonetheless.

Twilight Goodfic
Yes, it exists.

Twilight goodfic is generally considered to be better than Twilight itself in writing style, characterization, and plot. Twilight goodfic tends to take the premises in the books and portray them in a realistic way, to fill in any of the many plot holes, or to give minor characters or antagonists voices and personalities. Many PPC agents believe that Twilight goodfic may be the only reason Twilight has not yet been overwhelmed by canon damage.

Examples:
 * Seven and Eighteen, two opposite perspectives of what effect Renesmee's fast maturation might have on her personality and relationship with Jacob.
 * The Paper Doll Kindergarten, yet another future fic. Don't read this one after dark.
