Technically, Meyer didn't invent the "sparkly vampire" concept -- alas, it already existed.
Shameless plug, if you hate Twilight, you might like my Twilight deconstruction series and the dark "Rightlight" stories that the readers have spawned. They're delightful re-writes.

Yeah, that was a shameless plug, I admit it.

There's a very talented teacher in our district who tells about a young lady who became "angry" at him because he spoiled all the books she used to enjoy by teaching her what good writing is. I picture in my mind a girl throwing down a copy of Twilight in disgust and storming out of the room.

I've had this happen with books I enjoyed as a child but have grown out of. It's rather painful, but I suppose necessary.
