I’ve seen some pics of the Twi-Moms on other blogs (comic blogs following SDCC) and each individual Twi-Mom takes up 3 spaces herself.

Last year Twlight fans spent the entire time screeching at the highest decibel possible during the panel, and when they finally asked the actors questions, they included such gems as, “Boxers or Briefs?” What’s so odd is that Stephanie Meyer was also on the panel. It was right before the last book came out, and no one asked her any questions. Here is the creator of this world that these fans supposedly love. The end of the saga is days away,and no one thinks to ask her questions about what could happen? I think that’s what so different about Twilight fans compared to other fandoms: they’re only into the hott boyz.
