Wow. I wouldn’t care if it were another fan site, but I expect better out of professionals. The synopses of the books aren’t really correct or comprehensive, the spoilers are incredibly, stupidly huge, and the characters are made to look far more shallow than they really are (which, I suppose, is a nice segue into their comparatively shallower TV versions as well).

Elena’s biggest problem is to figure out which vampire brother she should date? REALLY? I never liked Elena that much, but I’m feeling sort of offended on her behalf. She has slightly bigger, and far less shallow, problems than that in the books.

Yuck. Please try again, guys. I know you’re aiming for a teen girl demographic, but contrary to popular belief, I like to think that teen girls are smarter than that, so actual effort SHOULD be put into building the site. Are you smarter than that site, teen girls? I think you are. Tell me you are.

To be fair, it doesn’t look like the site is finished. (At least I hope it’s not.) But I’m waaaaay unhappy about giving away a major plot point right on the main Books page. Leave the revelations for the readers to discover, guys!

At least there’s one positive: emphasizing that Damon and Stefan are Italian.

Before Bella? Really? Why is it necessary to compare every single YA book with Twilight? I don’t get it, that book is overrated. Maybe they just wanna have those fangirls interested in TVD just because ‘there are cute vampires on it’, but in my opinion books are better than that.

And I agree with the spoilers thing, they need to fix that, along with the whole thing of making Elena look like being in a love triangle, which is not the case.

*ouch* at spoilers! It seems that they have been looking at The Vampire Diaries page on Wikipedia as reference for the website.

Thanks for that, Tara. I thought about doing that myself but wasn’t sure they’d pay any attention. Color me pleasantly surprised – though I see what you mean about “far from perfect.”

I am so unimpressed=( I have to wonder if the creators are actual fans or in to make a buck. Elena has much deeper problems then OMG! Stefan/Damon!

Pretty much what I figured. It is so disheartening. I’ve been a fan since I was in 7th grade and this is how they go about getting people involved? I hayte sounding like one of those people who are all “OMG! I liked it first and anyone else who claims to like it will NEVER be as big a fan as I am!” This just feels insulting somehow. I wonder how LJS feels about it….
