The release of two books has continued to spread discussion about fanfiction. The Guardian wrote about Stephanie Meyers' genderswapped Twilight. "Life and Death is apparently a demonstration of how anyone, male or female, would react in the same way to a sexy, immortal love interest. But I'm not sure it exactly plays out like that. The idea of a moody teenage boy going gooey over a centuries-old, mysterious, super-strong woman who can fly feels revolutionary. Add in the fact that the book is from his point of view, allowing pages of moping about whether or not this powerful older woman actually likes him, and a pack of lady werewolves, and this is sounding like the book I’ve been waiting to read all my life."
