Buffy vs. Edward (Twilight Remixed)
This is awesome.
I'll admit I got caught up in the Twilight phenomenon just like everybody else. I listened to the books on audio and it was fun - a lark. But the relationship between Bella and Edward was always disturbing. And I don't mean because he was a vampire. It was because their relationship was co-dependent, and identity-stripping to the max. Bella wasn't even interested in Edward until he displayed utter revulsion for her - or that's what she thought. Turns out he actually wanted to suck her blood, like really bad.
So here were all these teenage girls gushing over Edward, learning all kinds of really terrible ideas about how a good, healthy relationship should function. (Stalking is not in the top ten of desirable elements.) So, what to do?
Turn Edward over to Buffy! She kicks... bum!!! She doesn't put up with his games, his need to consume and control - oh no. In fact, she puts it all in perspective - fantastic!! Go Buffy!!

Oh My GOD, this was hysterical! I loved this! Where in the world did you come across this? Can't wait to show my daughter. (Yes, I'm back!!)
As a fan of Buffy from way back, and having also read the Twilight series, I thought this one was amazingly clever. Of course Buffy fell for her own vampire, Angel, we musn't forget that.
I knew you'd love this Vicky!!! And dang Diane, I totally forgot about Angel. Well, surely Buffy still held her own in that relationship. She still kicks booty!

This is one of my favorite spoofs after the Lion and Lamb blog explaining BD from Edward's point of view.
Hilarious!
Christine - do you have a link? I don't know that one! :) e
This was fantastic!!! I enjoyed reading the Twilight series but seriously doubted that it was appropriate reading material for young girls. Buffy's much more empowering. And if you want a heroine who manages to both love a vampire and hold her own, then it has to be Sookie Stackhouse.
I need to watch the show - I listened to one of the Sookie books and liked it. (Although I rarely stray outside of YA fiction.)
