ROTTEN TOMATOES: Discover the Best Twilight Blogs!

Discover the Best Twilight Blogs!

Update your bookmarks folder with these comprehensive fan sites!

by Jen Yamato | August 03, 2009

In our second installment of our regular New Moon Mondays, we take a moment to spotlight the fine fan-driven sites that help keep Twilight love brewing online. From Twilighters to Twi-hards to Twilight Super Fans, these are some of our favorite Twilight-dedicated fan sites on the web -- our Twilight blog roll! If you're not reading them for your daily New Moon fix (or for the sights and sounds of last weekend's TwiCon), start checking out these highly specialized outlets now. (And don't worry if your favorite Twi-site isn't listed; tell us who we left off and why you read them, and we'll include them in a future blog roll update!)

Twilighters.org
This extensive site has great news coverage of all things related to the films and their cast members, with objective -- ok, sparse -- editorializing. Twilighters was founded by two cousins, neither of whom were born before 1990, which makes me feel old, but impressed all the same with the site they've built. Check out their Fan of the Week feature and countdown clock...to Eclipse's premiere date! (Only 332 days and counting...)

MSN's Twilight SuperFan
MSN's SuperFan, our dear friend Myriam Gabriel-Pollock, writes exhaustive daily blog posts just for you Twilight obsessives on one of the internet's largest portals. Read her Wednesday "Rob Round-ups," if you're an RPattz devotee, and never go another week without a Pattinson fix. I guarantee that nowhere else in the mainstream blogosphere will you ever read the phrase "OME" (AKA Oh My Edward).

Twilight Lexicon
For a comprehensive catalog of all things Twilight (we're not even just talking the movies, since the site originated in response to Stephenie Meyer's books), there is none better than Twilight Lexicon. It is just that -- a veritable encyclopedia of details regarding the Twilight Saga world, containing sections of meticulously researched character bios (with chapter citations, natch), a Saga-spanning timeline, and detailed chapter summaries of every single book. The Twilight Lexicon also bears Meyer's seal of approval as pages of personal correspondences attest, which also offer more minutely detailed information than one Twilighter can possibly ever know (i.e., when is Edward Cullen's birthday?**).

BellaAndEdward.com
Google "Twilight fan site" and BellaAndEdward pops up first, one of the largest Twilight sites on the net. Creator and admin Michelle does a fantastic job posting a steady stream of Twi-news each day, and can handily direct you to the latest photo shoot or media content of the Twilight cast; if it's online, she'll find it. (Personal/paparazzi pics have been editorially banned for the safety of the cast.) Head over to check out BaE's coverage of last weekend's fan gathering, TwiCon.

Twilight Examiner
If you're looking for more straight reportage on all things Twilight, the Twilight Examiner provides a newsy layout that looks like a newspaper website... if said newspaper only wrote about vampires who sparkle and the respective actors who play them. Examiner Amanda Bell stays especially on top of the media mentions and appearances of the Twilight cast, so you can track their every (Twitter) move.

Check back every Monday afternoon for the latest New Moon Monday, and get our full Twilight Saga and New Moon coverage at RT's Twilight Corner. The Twilight Saga: New Moon is in theaters November 20.

At least you didn't go with that dip**** Ted on E! Rare has been the times I've seen more exploitative crappola. I've read a couple of articles just because it connects with my Yahoo fantasy baseball page and was horrified by it. It was almost enough to shake even my unflagging optimism.

Like, oh my god, this is my most favoritest news story-thingy ever! It reminds me of that time when I was telling Jessica about Sarah and then Rory came up and whispered to Nicky about Amanda and we all went to the mall and met Jenny... this is soooo like that!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - Twilight = the goosebumps of paperback romance novels. R.L. Stine eat your heart out.

Uh huh, but did you ever notice it's usually you guys who're bashing the Twi-hards who usually bring down the intelligence level of the conversations? At least on RT?

Look man I get that you don't like Twilight, but why must you come on every thread with the same old tired crap. As you've say, you've said it before. Let it go, you'll be happier, everybody else will be happier. Bringing other people down is no way to make yourself feel good.

It's because fanboys feel threatened by Twilight fangirls.

Tell me the part about forming opinions on books and movie's you've never read or seen again. That's much funnier to me...wait a minute it's not funny it's just sad. Like, totally for sure.

I know "Like, totally for sure." hasn't been used since the 80's, but screw you I'm old.

CtrlAltdestroy is right to deride twilight. It's just awful.No way around it. I owe an apology to the harry potter fans because at least it has a slight semblance of something almost like human intelligence. Twilight is just...just terrible. Its a reductive force in our culture and actually slows down the progress of mankind. We must stop it at all costs.

What because King Kubrick is an "elitist?" Good grief, is there no respect for intelligence anymore? Can no one see the absolute horror that is Twilight. I watched it and complained about before I even knew other peeps hated it. I thought it was the new fantasy craze but it's so god awful in ways the supersede an individual's opinion.

Great, insightful counter arguement. I can think of no possible way to refute the immaculate logic your statement is frought with. Now go ahead and try and defend twilight with a straight face and tell me if you can look in the mirror afterward and not feel a sense of deep, deep, well deserved shame.

Y'know what I love?

I love the fact that the people who hate anything to do with Twilight, take the time to click on a Twilight related story and comment about how much they hate it. Its almost as if, deep down, watching Twilight or reading the books is a guilty pleasure. And they hate themselves for it, so they have to let everyone else know how god awful they (apparently) think it is.

(Maybe I'm wrong, but sometimes this does happen)

But really, why click on the header if you hate it? Whats the point? Why not spend your time commenting on subject matter that you actually really enjoy?

And yes, I love the Twilight Saga, and the movie. Am I ashamed? Not one little bit =)

I still don't understand, why some people who don't like Twilight, are always saying bad things about the books and/or the movies. Seriously, now if you don't like it then don't pay attention to it. It's just like if someone doesn't like a certain type of food, they don't buy it and they don't eat it; when they're somewhere where that food is served they refuse it politely and walk away. With no harm done. Which is what some people should do. Yes we all know it's all in your face stuff, but just like the person who walked away from that type of food, you can all walk away from Twilight if you want to. You don't have to like it, we're not making you like it. We're just expressing our joy for the books and the movies. Seriously just be the adult you are and walk away. :D

Yeah if I didn't have to come on my favourite website everyday and be bombarded by goddamn twilight idiocy. It's not like they post an article about it once a month. It's a weekly series. I'd love to permanently sear any memory of twilight from my mind and just ignore it, the world would be a much happier place. Put you people can't stop flinging in everyone's faces. You can enjoy garbage all you want; that's your perogative. But forgive me for getting irritated when garbage is flung in my face every single day. It's enough to drive a man insane.

%u2022 Really (and I think I speak for all whom apply when you *are* wrong, even though I'm sure you're right from time to time), it's just because we feel, on such an instinctive level, a sort of festering repulsion: the source of which we must attempt to minimize...if at all possible.

"But really, why click on the header if you hate it? Whats the point? Why not spend your time commenting on subject matter that you actually really enjoy?"

%u2022I'd assume that most of the people who comment on articles like this comment on most of the articles published, including (and *especially*) the articles they like. Commenting on the articles/topics one likes and on the articles/topics one dislikes are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Alright I love how all of u are so bewildered about the actions of the twilight haters and acting like you've never went out of your way to voice your distaste for something! ILLOGICAL

Secondly, I love twilight this has nothing to do with my feelings towards twilight...just don't act like it doesn't make sense and you "just don't understand" those people when all of us actually do understand and have done it ourselves for other things we didn't like too....just silly.

And If I never got around to reading the books and gotten into twilight I can completely understand how many people would be annoyed about the whole craziness of it's fans and the insane devotion that "twi-hards" have....there is something wrong with them they are ill.

Yes it's a great story and yes i love to see it brought to the big screen but SERIOUSLY some people...well a lot of people actually...are taking twilight and everything related to Twilight way to damn seriously...
