My cousin and I are going to the midnight party for Breaking Dawn.


We were just wondering....WHAT DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO THERE?


All I know is there's a costume contest of some kind...which is odd, because they pretty much dress like normal people. But yeah.

I guess this is a thread about book release parties you've been to

i havent been to one but it would seem like any other launch party

Dress up like Harry Potter and go "PEW PEW" and other assorted Potter lingo. Then act confused when people get angry at you.

Basically what you do at a book release party is stand around in a line or lines and discuss your favorite thing about ______ book. Then you buy your book, talk more about your book and how excited you are to read it, and then you go home and cry yourself to sleep because you actually attended a party for a book release.

Oh. I've been to plenty of those.

I've never been to one, but in this case I would find it appropriate to wear a t-shirt that says "EDWARD SUCKS" in big letters. The party will obviously be divided into two factions, and possibly involve everyone sitting down quietly, reading as fast as possible in order to prove the others wrong.

I WANT TO GO TO TWILIGHT PROM TOO!

Except no one will go with me, and I haven't read New Moon and I kind of think the books are some of the worst things in print. But I still want to go.


I've been to three Harry Potter ones. Um, if it's just a local thing at a Barnes & Noble or Borders or what-have-you, it's going to be just mostly people fangirls* squeeing over their favourite characters, talking about theories, and just regular things.

The store will probably have a costume contest, a trivia game where they give out dollar store prizes and/or cheap candy to winners, and maybe a few other small things. People will count down to midnight like on NYE. Then people rush out of the store and run home to read it.


If Meyer has a Mugglenet equivalent and you're going to some sort of officially unofficial release, it will be much bigger, crazier and entirely different.


*Because face it, that's the only readership this book has.

Oh, it's not nearly as bad as the other vampire books out there .-.

I've read much worse...much...much...worse....

Well, Atwater-Rhodes has the excuse of being between 14 and what, 17(?) when her vampire stuff was written.

And maybe vampire, teen, romance novels are my weakness. >.>
