Gratuitous icon post: Hellsing vs. Twilight

[matrixrefugee]

I found this entry's icon late last night, on a "Hellsing" community and I just had to ask the poster who used it if I could snag it. I *tried* reading the first of the "Twilight" books, but I couldn't get past the first three chapters: just my opinion, but the writing has to be some of the weakest I've ever seen, and the main character is teeth-grittingly annoying. She reminds of the apathetic teenaged girls who cashier at my job, in the late afternoon: the same "Wah, wah, wah, blah blah blah, life sucks, everyone sucks, everything sucks" attitude. If I remember correctly, Teresa Nielsen-Hayden, a veteran literary agent, said that the main character had to be one of the weakest characters she'd ever seen. I'd pay good money to see some sort of crossover in which Alucard puts the beat-down on the sparkly-boo vampires... Or gives Bella a tongue-lashing, though he'd probably just ignore her as not being worth snarking at.

You're not the only one. Someone on GAFF suggested the exact same thing. Since I don't know if you've still got an account there, here's the quote;

"This is one I want to see purely for my own pleasure at seeing it written. Crossover Hellsing with Twilight. The Hellsing organization has been sent to wherever the hell Edward is, and Alucard laughs with glee as he destroys that dazzling vampire maggot."

Yeah, I had trouble with my password, so I may have to re-reregister, though I might have to wait a bit till the Site Guru comes back from a long trip.

But agreed on all counts: Someone has *GOT* to send the Hellsing Organization after those sparkly vampires.
