my story is complicated, i saw the advertisment for the twilight movie, but never heard of it, so i started reading the books and then saw the film online.

I saw a youtube video about Twilight vs. Harry Potter!I thought there was no way that it could match it so i bought the book and got hooked!!!!

At first, 2 of my friends were obsessed with the series and i didn't bother to read it. Then, I went to the rental store and found twilght. My friends said the books were good, so I rented the movie to see why they think they're so special and seemed to worship the series. Now I'm hooked, bought the DVD, bought all of the books, traded alot of things for the cover templates from the box set from the books with one of my friends, bought the director's guide and the movie companion, the bracelet, and now my parents are banding twilight for the week because I need to concentrate on finals. Ha! Yeah, I OBSESSESD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i thought the movie looked kinda cool and my twilight obbsessed friend suggested it so i bought the dvd and then loved the movies and read the books, now i'm obbsessed

a librarian would count as a friend right? When I was in 7th grade we had to choose a random book to read and do a fun project on. My librarian explained what it was about and I thought it sounded alright.

None of these actually-
I was in the book store and I saw Twilight and New Moon, which had just come out, on the shelf. I bought them right away and have been addicted ever since.

None of these.
In 2005 when I was 11, I was ordering a vampire book and the book shop oredered the wrong one in, and I ended up getting Twilight.
I read it & fell in love with it!

Well an online friend actually.
We were chatting in msn and she changed her display pic to the twilight-cover pic. I asked her what it was and she told me that it was a book about vampires etc. She suggested that I should read them. So I bought them from E-bay.
From that moment I got into the twilight world :D

My friend read the books nd sed they were gr8 nd forced me to read Twilight but i really didn't think i'd enjoy it because i normally hate books like it, but i read it and feel inlove with the seris and decided to read the rest. then my friend saw the film and sed i had to see that so wen it came out on DVD i got it and again i loved it, cnt wait 4 new moon movie yay, nd i hope steph brings out midnight sun...XXX

In that order: watched the movie, read the books, watched the movie again, read the books again, watched the movie again, read the books again..... And so on, and so on. :))))))

It was totally random...I was mad because the WB decided to push the release date for HP and the half blood prince and then I read online that some movie "Twilight" was gonna come out on the HP movie release date and then i was curious because i read that the movie was based on a book, so the first thing I did was to watch the trailer and I liked it! so then I decided to read the books and I loved the series...then waited so bad for the movie, and now here I am!

i'll add the options others and you can explain in comments how you learned about twilight. I asked this question because I was curious how twilight got so popular. Thanks for answering!

I saw a trailer of the movie then brought the book, read the book and then went to see it in the movies.

i thought at first that twilight wuz gonna be a stupid movie but then wen i saw it i wuz obsessed with it i had 2 see it every day! and then i got the book and then i luved that 21 so all i talk about is twilight! p.s.my friends think im obsessed with it and they get mad at me sometimes1

ALAWAYS TEAM EDWARD!:)

funnily i saw the trailer first and i thought it was some stupid movie so i didnt really pay attn , then i went with my friends , we didnt know what to watch so we randomly chose twilight , before the movie my friend got dumped after 3 years so she didnt want to watch a love story we thought it was only about vampires ( and the stereotypes about them) and by the end of it i had become so consumed in the movie i forgot the beginning of the movie so i went out and bought the books and i actually cried when i couldnt find eclipse and breaking dawn because in australia it was sold out EVERYWHERE so yeah im a freak i know :)

My friends kept talking about it. I thought it's stupid story about vampire and human. I thought: "Well, I'll watch this stupid movie and laugh a bit". I've seen it and.. fell in love. Now I'm totally obsessed with Twilight.

I saw the books and wanted to read them, but i had not enough money ;) and then i forgot and then i watched the movie and finally I BEGAN READING!!!

I saw it in a book store and was curious, so I bought it. But it took me probably another six months before I actually read them. And then my cousin got into them, so I decided to read them, since I knew she was going to want to talk about them. (we debate a lot.) I can't say I'm obsessed with the series so much as I am with Rob or Taylor. I'm a visual person and I like pictures, so I've bought magazines and a poster, but no t-shirts or life-size cut-outs for me.

I was in Justjared.com and I saw some posters of the movie which weren't that good. Then I saw the trailer, ad i was like, I can't wait to read it's books. So I told to my cousin to get it for me and she did. I read it and then my book was the first twilight book in my school, everyone got addicted! Not quite like me and my best friends but ... I have everything of twilight... bracelets, Books, boxes, dvd, tons of posters, and I write twilight fan fictions every minute I can! I LOVE twilight! Thnx to Stephenie
for making this world for all twilight addicts!!!

My mom read it and said I could stay home from school to read it. So I read it! And LOVED it! And PS I wen to school even though I read them. And then went to go see the Midnight showing of it! :P
