An Open Letter to Stephanie Meyer...

Dear Stephanie Meyer,

I am not here today to ask you to stop writing or to sit you down and smack some sense into you about your characters and what they portray. I'll save that for other fans who can put it in better words.

Instead, I have a humble request that I think would make many people happy...

Please let Muse go.

I know this sounds like a tough request for you seeing as how you dedicated Breaking Dawn to them, but please, hear me out.

I have been a Muse fan since about 2006. Even before then, I have known Muse fans for about as long as I've been into them, if not longer. We are people who enjoy good music. We love the guitar work, the intricacies of the music, the amazing lyrics and Matt's falsetto only dogs can hear. Well, this is at least me and I'm sure there are other fans that can describe this better.

What seems to be a collective opinion however is that Muse fans do NOT appreciate how you've associated your badly written series with one of the best bands of our generation.

They did not write their songs just for your characters. 'Starlight' is not Bella and Edward's anthem. If there's any series that should stake claim in Muse, it should be Doctor Who (Which they already somewhat have since 'Assassin' was in an episode of Torchwood and it worked better there). And for the love of God, WHY is 'Supermassive Black Hole' on the movie soundtrack?!(*)

So please, on behalf of all the Muse fans who want them to keep their good name, let them go. You still have Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance and there will be other bands(**) to *ahem* "inspire".

Sincerely,
Miss Kitty Fantastico

*This is the main reason I'm making this plea. This is my favorite song by them (as well as my unofficial stripper anthem) and I hate seeing it being mucked up by Paramore...

**Though, I kindly ask that you stay the fuck away from Butch Walker.
