I’m not saying the girls can’t have Twilight, I’m just pointing out how vampires turned into romance novel fodder. So long as I don’t have to read them (or any non-vampiric romance novel for that matter) I don’t really care. But the cycle from Nosferatu to androgynous Edward is kind of funny.
Pirates, the really hot ones, were romance fodder too. Damn, just about anything could be. And of course, those hot pirates, or just insert the current fad, were not only hot but so strong and protective, etc.
