They’re just covers made by fans for a bit of fun, and won’t actually be published.

OOPSSS…. SORRY

I mean the ‘TVD’ story are FAR more BETTER than Twilight.

But I don’t say that Twilight is horrible anway, Twilight is OKAY.

I agree that Twilight’s book cover is better… but… the story is far more better.

I think so…. :0 is it? who agree with me?

Is it wrong for the ‘TVD’ to use oranges for its covers? No, right? (I am a HUGE fan of L. J. Smith)

I like the orange with the vampire bite the best, if I were to pick any – but I like the paintings on LJ’s website the best. Check it out @ http://www.ljanesmith.net/gallery.php because they’re really good and are what the characters should look like instead of the way the show was cast. I appreciate the fact that Kevin Williamson was trying to find people who could really act instead of just look-alikes, so I can cut him some slack. However, it would be cool to get these paintings on the bookcovers.

hahaha. Red, I agree about no underwear being created for Damon yet.
When I was reading that scene, I couldn’t think of anything that suited him.

..that sounds really wrong.

The story isn’t just about Stefan and Elena, Damon features very heavily as part of the main story, too. The orange is a fandom in-joke because the books have been around for nearly 20 years and older fans pick up on small things like that for fun. You don’t need to take it seriously or worry about it.

sorry but i am still confused is the orange only there because of the small bit with Damien? showing that he tries to get everthing even if he doesn’t need it?
and if so y is it Damien i mean isn’t the story based around Stephan and Elana? i mean it’s quite big
i’m sorry but i am still confused can somebody please help? :] xx

I personally think it’s WAY more idiotic to use an apple on a TVD book cover. Apples aren’t even mentioned in the books, and the books aren’t about forbidden fruit, either. At least oranges are relevant.

You know what’d be nice to have on the covers? Some actual freakin’ illustrations! Something remotely imaginative! Something that doesn’t look like every other YA book cover out there!

(At least the oranges are imaginative! I think Jen’s is my favorite.)

We haven’t said that they should use oranges. It was simply a case of us thinking ‘wouldn’t it be funny if it was an orange instead of an apple’ and went with it as a joke. To have fun and get a laugh out of deliberately being silly. Try it some time. ;)

omg! :o this is just SO WRONG to use oranges
for vampire-book-covers! – where the heck did
that idea come from anyway (beside this ONE
scene where naked-Damon peels an orange).

sorry guys, but that’s just – to put it bluntly – IDIOTIC
(what the heck, vampire diaries are LJ’s
worst books anyway… nothing to do about it *sigh*)

I’m really glad that The Vampire Diaries are being made into a tv seris. After growing up with Buffy The Vampire Slayer I always loved vampires stories, when i saw Twilight i got into the books. Then, when looking around my school libary for more vampire books, I found The Vampire Diaries (sort of batterd at the back). I hoped something would come out of the books, but thought because they are like 18 years old (older than me) if a film or something was going to be made it would already have happend. Basically can’t wait. Does anyone know if it will be shown here in England?

The point of the oranges is that it was a joke. A bit of fun that we went with. We’re not saying the publishers should use these covers instead. We’re not bashing the Twilight cover (I like it, personally). We’re just saying ‘wouldn’t it be amusing if…’ and just going with it. For fun.
