I find articles about the real Forks to be pretty interesting so I keep posting them. Hopefully someone else will find them of interest as well. This one was posted on an Oregon news site and gives more details on how the books have revitalized the small town in northern Washington. The article does a great job of explaining some of the Twilight sites the town is most proud of and how the tourism industry is really improving the town’s economy. I can’t wait to visit Forks again! It was a great experience when I went in June. Here is the article!

The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer is definitely helping to bring this small town back to life. Visitors continue to flock to the area to get a glimpse of sites mentioned in the books. An article about this recent phenomena appeared on Jaunted’s website. Check it out!

Is Forks the new Twin Peaks?
According to Roger Moore, a writer for the Orlando Sentinel, yes it is. He wrote a brief blurb on how Twilight fans are flocking to the small town of Forks which mimics the pilgrimages made to other small towns where famous tv shows and movies were filmed. You can see the whole article here!
I thought this was a pretty good article about how the Twilight craze is affecting more than just adolescents. The article was posted on the website for Drake University’s Newspaper. Check it out!

Twilight Teez
I have several shirts from this site! I thought I’d post the link for anyone else who might be interested!
The interview is located here!
It includes a really good pic of Carlisle, Rosalie, and Edward! Check it out!
You can see the entire article from MTV here. Below are Rob’s and Kellan’s excerpts:
Robert Pattinson (Cedric in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” Edward in “Twilight”): “Does it make me a traitor? ‘Harry Potter’ was what made me become an actor. I credit ‘Harry Potter’ with everything else that’s come since for me. I didn’t know what I was doing before that. I hadn’t read the books before doing the movie, so at first I read it just as an acting exercise. But I really enjoyed it! But I think Edward would kick Cedric’s ass, to be honest.”
Kellan Lutz (“Twilight”): “I love ‘Harry Potter.’ I actually wanted ‘Harry Potter’ as competition for ‘Twilight,’ because you’d be seeing the wizard side of fantasy and then jumping into the vampire life. Everyone I talk to is so obsessed with it. I always wished I had powers. I always wished I had a stick and a broom! It’s a great story. It’s so well-written. I think ‘Harry Potter’ hit everything. It set the precedent, that peak of Mount Everest, and we all want to climb that mountain. I just wish there were as many books to make movies of in ‘Twilight’ as there are in ‘Harry Potter.’ ”
