I thought - until I'd read all the comments here - that Twilight and Stephanie Meyer were like the 'new Harry Potter' - which I consider should NOT be thrown against the wall.

I had - not that I've finished my attempt to write such an entertainment myself - rather suffered from Meyer-envy! You are putting paid to that emotion. Replacing that emotion is trepidation. If I do manage to finish my book and those that follow it and find a publisher - just what will my friends say! I shall have to use a pseudonym in order to know - but perhaps I'd rather not know after all.
