The demographic of a Twilight Fan
Posted on 12. Mar, 2009 by AmyO in News
Examiner.com has a great article addressing the fact that Teens are not the only fans of The Twilight Saga. They mention a particular demographic that we are all very aware of~
Take the so-called “Twilight Moms” out there. Plenty of women (married, mothers, or career women) love the series. Finding the powerful love story and precious (yet, at times, subtle) intricacies of the storyline and plot to be compelling and very pleasant to admit to imagination, Twilight Moms are able to overlook the fact that the setting for many of their favorite scenes takes place in a high school cafeteria, and that we meet Bella Swan as she undergoes a bit of teenage angst and adolescent alienation. The charm and wit of Edward Cullen and Jacob Black, for Twilight Moms, takes precedent over the youthful dispositions of Jacob Black or appearance of Edward Cullen. They allow themselves to, quite simply, become submerged into the sea of emotions that the narrator Bella Swan takes us through in the series.

Racquel….I am there with you! I am also 38, happily married with three children and I became obsessed with the characters from the series in November, 2008. I read all four of the books within 3 weeks. I have reread them a couple of times! Fortunately, my obsession has become manageable recently but I think with New Moon this fall it may get out of control again! Oh well…..

Amanda, thanks for you articles. I was happy to see that you are in the Indy area. I reside in W. Lafayette and have not yet found a local group of TwiMoms although I know they have to be around here. I love your articles and subscribed to your email listing.
