Do Ты think SK was right when he bashed Stephenie Meyer, или were Ты against it? Either way, would Ты like to Присоединиться this spot:

I've never been a big Фан of Stephen King, so I'm going to try and be objective about this.
As a very successful writer, Stephen sounds to be jealous of Stephenie's success.
For a long time he was known as the writer of the times if Ты will, even with J.K Rowling, her stories were loved, and she was praised, but rarely сказал(-а) to be "The best writer since Shaksphere." или "Best writer of ours time." like Stephenie has.
I think that Stephen thinks that Stephenie Meyer is a bad writer because he doesn't understand. In his mind, good story + Письмо classes + Фаны = good writing/success.
He sees it as; Stpehenie Meyer didn't follow the "rules" with her writing, and the "rules" is what he believes makes a good story.
So when Stephenie cuts out of sex scenes, или edies, tones things down, things that he would have kept in, things that would've been "artistic".
This makes me very angry.
I believe that a sex scene can add a lot of emotion and deapth to a story, but the fact that he says it's not a good story without it is just so narrowminded.
A good story won't follow all the rules, a good story won't always do what Ты expect.
Why do Ты think that Stpehenie is so popular?
Because she breaks the careful rules of other writers.
She dared to change the careful lines of "what Vampire's are".
She had her own version, she didn't follow Письмо "rules", she made a lot of people angry because of it too.
People who don't understand, like Stpehen.
"Oh! Your grammer wasn't perfect there!" или "You used that word too many times in a chapter!", just because these things are true that makes her a bad writer?
No.
Maybe if other writers whould stop worrying so much about what is expected of them, and if this или that thing would be "proper", then they would be better writers.
Stephenie Meyer is such a good writer BECAUSE of the "bad" things.
She isn't a writer because she didn't take classes?
Do Ты think the first person who wrote about Вампиры took a "this is how to write a vampire story" class?
People need to be еще unique like Stephenie, but they're too afraid.
People won't do against the grain anymore.
Nobody will be unique.
Someone has to be unique right?
Yet every time someone does, others just copy them.
Vango, Picasso, many others like them were called crazy, and weren't understood in they're time.
Why?
Because it was new, it was scary, and didn't make sense in those people's time.
Now though, someone takes four years of "art" classes and learns EXACTLY how to put the perfect dot on the paper.
That's not art, art comes from inside, art comes in all differant forms and sizes, and is never fully understood by anyone but it's creator.
I should know.

I don't think autors should be bashing eachother at all.

After SK bashed Stephenie Meyer...he kinda Остаться в живых me as a fan...not because I Любовь Stephenie's work...but because he's been around forever...he has millions of fans...he came off ugly and conceited like he's the only one who can write...he sounds like he's jealous of Stephenie's success...if he felt the need to say anything then it should have been as a teacher..as in helping her out...not bashing her work. Sorry Stephen King..you've Остаться в живых a fan.

Heres what he said:

Stephen King: Stephenie Meyer can't write
Time for Horror Writer Smackdown. In an interview with USA Weekend, Stephen King took a shot at Stephenie Meyer, whose Twilight series has been a huge hit. In his words, "[J.K.] Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good."

Geez, don't sugar-coat it, Stephen. He also skewers James Patterson, runs hot and cold on Dean Koontz and admires Jodi Picoult. King says Meyer's secret is "writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a безопасно, сейф joining of Любовь and sex in those books. It’s exciting and it’s thrilling and it's not particularly threatening because they’re not overtly sexual."

I suggest settling this with a faceoff between characters -- no holds barred, all powers allowed. Nancy, Read Street's resident expert on the supernatural, says Meyer's Вампиры are wimps and even Jack Nicholson (The Shining) could take on Edward. How about vampire James vs. Cujo? или vampiress Bella vs. Carrie?

Perhaps Stephen King knows what he's talking about, he knows his stuff about writing, and he may not have meant it in a nasty, 'bashing' kind of way, just stating his opinion that those authors he mentioned cannot write well, but their stories are loved anyway. But it came across as insulting and maybe he should keep opinions about other authors' Письмо abilities to himself.

Easiest thing is to criticize someone's work. And I never though SK is capable of doing it in such way-- I'm his Фан too, but I'm really disappointed :\

I semi agree. She's not an amazing writer. Stephenie herself has admitted she is only an 'amateur'. And saying she's the 'best writer of our time' или saying 'she's the best writer since Shakespeare' is ridiculous. The story is amazing, that I don't deny-but the Письмо isn't as good. However, I don't think it was a nice thing to say and he does just seem to come across jealous, though I really doubt that's true. He is a way еще respected Автор than Stephenie.
