Per FW, Stephenie Meyer has posted Breaking Dawn FAQs to her website.

Now, on to the "how is this possible?" question. First of all, of course it's not possible. None of this story is possible. It's a fantasy story about creatures that don't actually exist. Within the context of the fantasy, however, this is how it works...

WORLDBUILDING FAIL.

GAH. *growls*

Exactly! Which is just like Sandra Lee. "Why do I have to bother learning how to cook? I cook for real people!" Well sure, but real people know there's an easier, cheaper, and better way to make petit fours than carving a couple of store-bought cheesecakes down into 6 bite-size pieces.

I loved the overall flow of the FAQ too. "As I JUST SAID above, blah blah blah" Like dude, you're the one writing it! We just got here! Why snap at us for asking the theoretical question you wrote in?

Now all I can picture is SMeyer saying the quote in my icon.

I also loved how her answers about feminism boiled down to "You can't take any meaning from this book because it's about vampires!!"

Though a fav. runner-up is her Clintonesque "It depends on what your definition of 'werewolf' is."

Oh, yes, and the rambling answer to the paternity question, which basically boils down to, "Only idiots give simple answers to simple questions." Or something.

My fav part about that was how it totally had this "Let me explain the writing process to you, you silly little thing!" Like maybe know the correct uses of its/it's before copping 'tude?

*snickers* Seriously, yo.

I kind of want to her to get cornered in a room by Nora Roberts and Diane Duane. Diane could be the good cop, and Nora could just smack her upside the head repeatedly.
