HALP! Am I selling out?

Posted by Leslie on March 26th, 2010 | 4 Comments

Okay, most of you know that I am not huge fan of the Twilight series. I don’t get the hype and generally have no interest in teen vampires and werewolves.

That said, the franchise is FREAKING HUGE! One of the biggest new phrase/cliches to come out of it is: Team Jacob/Team Edward

So here is my dilemma. I want to create buttons to promote BEAUTY TEMPTS THE BEAST at the Nationals conference. I’ve thought of ideas like “Got Gothic” but what really stuck with me was “Team Beauty” and “Team Beast.” Clever, huh? Yeah, it’s a rip-off from Twilight. That in of itself wouldn’t be an problem if I actually liked the books or movies. But I don’t.

What’s your thought? Am I selling myself out to use it? Can I still call myself a “Twilight H8R” ??

You sound like a business woman. Although you’re not a fan of the series, your fans might be. I would would go with a mixture of buttons including the Twilight inspired ones. Personally, if I were to get one of your buttons, I’d go with “Got Gothic?” or even “Got Goth?” :)

Okay Leslie, you know I am a total HATER! I say this with all earnestness…DON’T DO IT! Mostly cause it doesn’t make sense. Don’t pit your Hero and Heroine against each other. Go with the Got Gothic? one. It makes more sense. Or maybe something like…Not just another fairytale or Got Beauty? or Got Beast? or…well anything but that Twilight business. :D

And here’s the thing; Team X & Team Y have been around a long time. It’s just that the Jacob/Edward thing has popularized it for this generation. Go ahead, use it.
