andy.halls Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi all, My name is Andy Halls - I'm a journalist at The Sun newspaper in London. I'll be heading down to ET7 to do some research for an article I'm writing for our paper - and I'm looking for the biggest Twilight fans to be a part of it. If you think you're the biggest Twilight fan, drop me an email on a.halls@the-sun.co.uk with your reasons why, a bit of information about yourself (name, age, where you're from, etc) and some contact details. Hope to hear from you soon! Cheers, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaciesEclipse Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 To be honest if it's for a newspaper and about twilight fans i'd be a little reserved at the way us fans would be portrayed. Anything written by a non twilight fan will be miscontrued. We're normal human beings doing something we enjoy, it's not a spectacle. To be honest the sun can keep my 5 minutes of fame at least i can keep my dignity and anyone who asks me why i'm a twilight fan can get it straight from me in my own words, thanks.

Emelso Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 You should get a photo of the awesome costumes (cosplay) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naurarwen_fangorn Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) You should get a photo of the awesome costumes (cosplay) :) Though I do have to somewhat agree with one of the people above who commented about things being miscontrued. I know of a few cosplayers that were interviewed at another con last year by a paper and the article was put online and basically cosplayers were put across as jobless fetishists. Just because peope partake in something they enjoy doesn't meant you can tar a group with the same brush. I know plenty of people who cosplay at cons who away from conventions work full time in responsible jobs and have kids etc. If the same is done with Twilight fans I hope the newspaper is ready for the wrath of Twilight fans around the world.

my*wife*says Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So would be good to know what the angle of the research is! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaciesEclipse Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Exactly, it's a very vague statement. I'm sorry but I guess we're not all fame hungry enough to be 'mentioned in a newspaper' for so called 'research for an article'. For the record i have a full time job in a managerial position, three kids, my own house, my own car and these weekends are the only breaks I have and they're freakin amazing! I don't want anyone putting these cons down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
