In an artikel sejak the New York Times, aside from creating a world-wide phenomena, Twilighters around the world has also out the small town of Forks, Washington on the map. The small loging town, who only has two stop lights, have garnered fame through the popularity of the Twilight books, the four-part book series that is penned sejak penulis Stephenie Meyer. Now, the town serves a “mecca” to Twilighters who have gathered in town to feel the Twilight experience.
Here is an excerpt of the article:
Over the last tahun atau so, Forks (population 3,120) has morphed into a mecca for Twilighters, atau Twihards as they are sometimes called. Visitors to this rainy town, whose main industries are logging and two correctional facilities, have lebih than tripled for the first eight months of this year, compared with the same period last year, according to the local Chamber of Commerce. Lodging occupancy is up, and local merchants sell little-vampire pacifiers and Bella and Edward action figures.
“You used to say anda were from Forks and people would stare,” berkata Marcia Bingham, director of the Chamber of Commerce, referring to the “B.T.” (“Before ‘Twilight’ ”) days. “Now when they hear where you’re from, they’re breathless.”
And teenage girls aren’t the only ones hyperventilating. Women — traveling in packs, in pairs atau on their own — make up a big part of those on the “Twilight” trail. Susan Englin, a retiree from Colbert, Wash., who has read the buku seven times and has downloaded the movie to her iPod, was visiting stepchildren in the area recently and couldn’t resist an outing to Forks. “I get caught up in the characters,” she said.
All hari long, cars pull up to the Forks visitor center, across the jalan from a drag-racing track, and people pile out, snapping foto-foto of “Bella’s” old red pickup truck parked in front. Inside, tourists grab maps pinpointing Forks High School, where Bella and Edward first lock eyes in the cafeteria; City Hall, where Bella’s police-chief father works; and the driftwood-strewn pantai in nearby La Push where the character Jacob, a member of the local Quileute tribe, first informs Bella that Edward and his family are “blood drinkers.” (He should talk — in the saat book Jacob and his pals turn into werewolves.)
And then they’re off, braking at the sites and trolling the nondescript main drag, lined with one- and two-story buildings occupied sejak shops with signs shouting “Twilighters Welcome!”

Buff wolfman Alex Meraz (Paul) revealed at a Twilight convention this weekend that he may have played his role a bit too intensely during a run-in with lead heroine Kristen Stewart–
“I decided, all right, the serigala, wolf Pack stay up all night looking for who’s killing people on the res, so we don’t sleep very much. So I thought it would be a great idea if I stayed up for 10 days straight.” What should have been a simple scene — a confrontation between Bella (Stewart) and the serigala, wolf Pack — became, in Meraz’s mind, his “Brando moment.” Wanting to try something different, the actor played the scene overly aggressive: screaming, grabbing Stewart sejak the throat, hurtling his line at her.
“[Director] Chris Weitz comes off-set like, ‘Yeah, I like the energy Alex, but just take it down a little,’ ” Spencer chimed in: “Meanwhile the producers are freaking out back there.”
” ‘Cause nobody touches Kristen Stewart,” joked Meraz.
