I finally finished the second Twilight book (I got bogged down in the Slough of Despond there for a while) and I have these observations:

1. I've heard that the third book gets even angstier. I don't think that's humanly impossible, but I'm feeling trepidation nonetheless.

2. Twilights should become a measurement of angst. "Did you see the latest episode of Doctor Who? It was, like, five Twilights. My brain nearly exploded."

3. I have no plans to write Twilight fic, but if I did it would totally be Bella/Alice. You know in your heart that they're a better pairing than Edward and Bella. Alice would never let Bella get away with that crazy emo.

On the other hand, Alice is really awesome and I would feel pangs of guilt if I inflicted Bella on her.

But making shippers' heads explode might be worth a bad conscience. Hmmm.

Wouldn't it be kind of hard to find something that ranks more than one Twilight? That's a lot of angst. We possibly need milliTwilights (borrowing freely from joshwriting's milliHelen, which is the level of beauty sufficient to launch one ship).

Full Twilights would probably only be useful for terrible fics and other Twilight books, so a milliTwilight - possibly even a microTwilight - would be a useful unit of measure.

Perhaps Twilights should be restricted to measuring bad angst, though. It would give entirely the wrong impression to measure the angst in the Lord of the Rings, say, in any unit of Twilight.
