Comments on: Twilight-inspired reality show based in Forks? http://www.twilightmoms.com/2009/12/twilight-inspired-reality-show-based-in-forks/ The Stephenie Meyer Fansite Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:12:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: candace http://www.twilightmoms.com/2009/12/twilight-inspired-reality-show-based-in-forks/comment-page-1/#comment-17994 candace Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:47:25 +0000 http://www.twilightmoms.com/?p=9645#comment-17994 I grew up in Forks myself. I have family that still live there. Some of the younger generation love they hype of Twilight, however, Forks has it's own character. Its a logging town, they have their own history, their own traditions. Eventually all the Twilighters will fade out, and this little town will go back to how it always was. I would be very dissapointed if they chose to film this series there. I don't think they could get the whole town on board and as small as Forks it, that would be a must in order for it to do well.

It's a real town, with real people, and my husband and I liked it so much that we actually looked at real estate! But it just wouldn't be the same if it became some sort of melodramatic pseudo-reality show, and I think overall it would hurt the town.

I was in Forks this spring and talked to some of the business and Chamber of Commerce employees and even though many love the books and like the new tourism, they still want to keep the town theirs and not have it become a kitchy tourist town and be constantly under the spotlight. The town is still trying to figure out "Twilighters" and what they want and how to cater to us and not have their town destroyed in all the hype that is Twilight. Just my opinion and what I have heard from people while I was there. I would be really surprise if the Forks community would go with this.
