    Twilight Fans Helping Twilight Fans

    By Twilight_News | December 30, 2008

    One of the very best parts of being involved in the Twilight fandom is the willingness of fans to help other fans out. So, below are fans that need your help. Give them a shout out!

    First, YouTube is being evil and not letting me embed a video, but a student documentary film maker need help from fans.

    See her initial plea here, and a follow up here.

     

    Next is a fan who will be making a presentation at Twicon and she needs your help in her research on Team Edward, Team Jacob, and Team Switzerland.

      I’m Team Edward for LIFE!!! ^-^
      Although I can say that “sometimes” i don’t hate jacob at all (as in i can really see his side of things). :/
      But.. then i remember nm, and eclipse… ::sigh:: his most annoying moments in the fandom.

      ******BREAKING DAWN SPOILERS*****
      ******DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ BREAKING DAWN****************

      Well, you can be on Team Jacob and just like Jake better than Edward…
      But anyone who likes Jake can’t want him to be with Bella, because if Jake was with Bella, Nessie wouldn’t ever have been born, and Jake would never be with who he was destined to be with

      Speaking of Team Jacob….has anyone heard anything of the Taylor Lautner thing. Is he going to be in the movie or not. I wonder if I missed something. I think that Taylor and the other guy look so much alike that Taylor could start the move and the other dude could finish as older Jacob.

    13. Amelia Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 5:05 pm

      I completely agree with mika and k. I love Jacob and Edward, but Bella belongs with Edward. Personally, I’m Team Switzerland, but for Bella I’m Team Edward.

    14. twilightcountry Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 5:21 pm

      This is fascinating. Not to skew your research, but another angle is that there are many who identify with Team Edward or Team Jacob as their OWN choice, not necessarily Bella’s.
      :-)

    15. Jessie Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 5:34 pm

      I agree with the people who are saying that the research is skewed. I consider myself Team Switz, not because I have had no preference as to who Bella is with, but because I love both Edward and Jake. I’ve always been 100% Team Edward if it’s based on Bella’s interests, but I don’t think it should be.

    16. JodeenSings Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 6:17 pm

      Wow, I consider myself Team Jacob, but I don’t think Bella should have ended up with him. I just like the underwolf/dog. So?????

    17. Carrie Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 6:41 pm

      I’m firmly on Team Edward. Bella belongs w/ him and if I were in her place, I would choose him as well. I prefer Edward’s personality and frankly, Jacob really ticked me off in “Eclipse”. He did redeem himself a little in BD, though.

    18. Kayla Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:00 pm

      In the end, Edward is the one who has Bella’s heart in all aspects, and now Jacob belongs to someone else. That is why I am team edward

    19. Amber Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:08 pm

      I love Jake, and it’s like Bella says in Breaking Dawn, in a world where magic and mythical creatures did not exist, he would have been her soul mate. Having said that, I am totallyin love with Edward and I’m team Edward all the way as the right choice for me and the right choice for Bella.

    20. Angel Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:13 pm

      Keeping with the whole fantasy idea of this saga, I was definitely Team Edward all the way. However, it did irk me now and then when he was down right controling, but I stayed true. In real life though, Jacob had the real staying power. But Twilight isn’t about reality, it’s about an escaping into an absolutely fantastic world. So yeah- TEAM EDWARD. :)

    21. trixie Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

      hey, twilightcountry…every female who reads the books becomes Bella so skewing does not apply here. In my humble opinion.

      To Emily…do you seriously think there is anyone left on the planet who has not read BD? Relax.

    22. andrea Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:21 pm

      TEAM JACOB<3
      :)
      well, Breaking Dawn kinda killed it b/c of the whole imprinting thing..
      But overall, I like Jake better & I’m proud to be in that 5%. :]

    23. Alicia (sn: Maus) Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:23 pm

      So… how come Team Edward and Team Jacob got all this hype, t-shirts, posters, and such… but Team Bella a.k.a. Switzerland kinda just died. *sniffle* As the president, I feel that people need to acknowledge Bella’s neutral stance a bit more. Lol. Bella deserves more fans. :)

    24. Kayla Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:27 pm

      I think the teams are viewed differently. in my opinion, I think it is based on if I were Bella, which makes me Team Edward since she chose him overall, I feel like Team Jacob is dead in that sense since he has Nessie so there is no decisions to be made anymore. Don’t go and yell at me, because this is from BREAKING DAWNS p.o.v. and the ending. Bella still loves Jacob, but everything is different and Edward has all of her now.

    25. abby Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:37 pm

      Jacob was nice and I liked him before he became a werewolf but afterwards he become controlling and manipulative. He knew how it hurt Bella to say Edwards name when he was gone, but as a werewolf Jacob would say it and watch her in pain. She would also be upset when he called Edward a bloodsucker, but continued to do so. He would later manipulate Bella and he did kiss her twice against her will. Team Edward all the way. I do not like controlling men.

    26. safina Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:38 pm

      I’m Team Switzerland cause,like many people already said,I can’t choose between Edward and Jacob.They’re both different and I love them both in different ways.

      Now,nobody can really say that they’re Team Edward or Team Jacob because Edward’s soulmate is Bella and Jacob’s soulmate is Renesmee.So everything changes.

      I think most of the Twilghters should be Team Switzerland-ers just for the sake of how things are.

    27. Kayla Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:40 pm

      Abby I hear what you are saying exactly. I just hope people do not try and say that Edward is controlling. Edward may start to be share his opinion on a matter, but always ends up being selfless and letting Bella choose what she wants.

    28. Edwardbitespillow Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 7:56 pm

      Team Edward all the way! Abby took the words out of my mouth….plus Jacobs jst a big baby! he makes bella feel HORRIBLE at her wedding, when he’s supposed to be a present to her, and then he doesn’t want bella to have nessie! WTF! and i agree with Kayla too!

    29. Christina Cullen Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 8:24 pm

      I’m Team Edward.

      But when it comes to the movie, I’m Team Taylor. No offence, but I hate Rob. *cowers in terror from angry fans*

      If Taylor isn’t in NM, I am not seeing it.

      But I’m definately Team Edward. However, I like Jasper a little more for ME. Just T.E. when it comes to Bella… if that makes sense. <3

      December 30th, 2008 at 8:55 pm

      TEAM JACOB!!!
      But to get things straight. I do NOT want Jacob to be with Bella, nor did I ever want her to choose him over Edward. Edward is awesome, but Jacob is better. That’s it.
      p.s. I am also Team Nessie and Seth

    32. Lis Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 9:54 pm

      I voted for Edward but I am Team Jacob…
      Then Renesmee wouldn’t have been born…
      So Jacob forever, but Edward/Bella…

    33. SwitzerlandChicki Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 10:05 pm

      Umm. This is most likely obvious, (if not, I’m sorry if I offended you), but I am Team Switzerland. BUT. I do lean towards Mr. Cullen because I was originally Team Edward. Breaking Dawn turned me Team Switz. :D

    34. ilovejacob!!! Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 10:12 pm

      Team Jacob!!!! all the way. I dont exactly think he should have ened up with Bella. I just like him more. He acts like his age. i would rather have him than Edward any day of the year.

    35. Alice Hale Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 10:56 pm

      OME… i love twilight sooooo much… and edward.

      who cares if jacob liked her he deidnt inpriant theyy shouldnt be together.. because he inpriant5s on her daugther.
      So who ever voted for team jacob is wrong because you are not looking at who really loves in the end.

    36. Cindy Says:
      December 30th, 2008 at 11:28 pm

      Team Switzerland !!! All the way because is too hard to pick between the two plus in my view Breaking Dawn helped me a lot to not switch to either Jacob or Edward.

    37. Kate Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 12:10 am

      So a few people have already mentioned this, but I feel the need to throw in my two cents. I am a huge Jacob fan. He’s my favorite character in the entire series. I consider myself Team Jacob, but I fully believe that Edward and Bella were destined to be together. I like Jacob better, and if it were me, I would have chosen him. But it was Bella, and I think she made the right choice for her. I suppose the exact point I’m trying to make is that many people are ‘Team Jacob’ but don’t necessarily think that Bella should have chosen him. So I think there’s a possibility of the poll results being biased (if only a tiny bit) because there aren’t enough options to cover all bases.

    38. singfree Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 1:33 am

      Not choosing for Bella, but for myself, I pick Jacob! Why choose something with the color, texture, and temp of my Grandmother’s marble rolling pin to cuddle with? I’m taking WARM every time! LOL!

    39. Becca Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 4:33 am

      Er…I can’t vote. I think Edward is an unhealthy homocidal drug addicted stalker who no girl in their right mind should choose and that Jacob is a to good for Bella. I’m kind of anti-Bella.

      December 31st, 2008 at 10:32 am

      I see and understand both sides but I’m very happy Bella chose Edward rather than Jacob

    44. Melanie Cullen Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 11:10 am

      Team Edward all the way! People will say he’s controlling or tempermental, but he really does care for bella more than anything. And he always has her best interests in mind, while Jacob doesn’t. Jacob’s too….human :D

    45. Andrea Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 11:18 am

      I think Bella and Edward were ment too be together and nothing can change that, Jacob is nice but Edward and Bella thats love.

      December 31st, 2008 at 12:40 pm

      I’m stil proud to be that 5%!!!!!! Jacob is the best. I mean, who would want to cuddle with a rock?????? I want a guy who’s warm, OH and HAS A PULSE. Prople need to understand that Jacob IS a TEENAGER!!!!!!! He doesn’t think things trough. Since when do teenage boys think things trough???? And me being a teenage girl, I never think things trough. I just go for it!!!!!! ITS WHAT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO DO!!!!! Okay my rant is over. TEAM JACOB FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

      December 31st, 2008 at 12:44 pm

      I can see both sides of the argument and while I think that in a way Edward really would be the best choice for Bella, I think that Jacob really would be good for Bella aswell so…
      However I myself am quite into Jasper, My Mum doesn’t see the attraction but I however…
      If I really had to choose between Jacob and Edward, (while Edwards probably more my type) I would probably say neither and say no more becasue I honestly wouldn’t be able to choose!
      That was a long comment! hmmm….

      Happy New Year!

      December 31st, 2008 at 2:56 pm

      Tf you think about it, Jake would be happy both ways! And I would be happy with Edward or Jake ANY day!!!!!

      December 31st, 2008 at 3:25 pm

      I’m Team Switzerland. I love Edward, and he seems extremely right for Bella. Yet, Jacob is my favorite character. I feel bad for him, because he really, really likes Bella, and he only does the things he does because of that, even though they can be kinda annoying. Anyywayyss, Go Switzerland!!

    55. Mary Alice Cullen Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 3:46 pm

      I’m so team Edward.
      But in Eclipse i sorta felt like team Switzerland in some parts.
      haha i love Edward the most.

      December 31st, 2008 at 5:05 pm

      I totally agree with Christina Cullen, I am Team Edward all the way but I don’t like Rob and i love Taylor.

      Having said that, during New Moon and Eclipse I really didn’t like Jacob, but after BD’s ending and I knew that Bella would end up with Edward, I allowed myself to like Jake a little more :D

    59. Jamie Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 5:18 pm

      Team Switzerland! :)

      I love Edward and I wanted him to be the one to end up with Bella, but I also love Jacob. He’s may not always be very nice to Bella, but at least he’s honest and always says what he’s thinking. Edward is completely dedicated to making Bella happy and safe, and that’s great, but in the process he lies to Bella, hurts her, and completelty hides his feelings from her. So, I can see both sides.

    60. Laney Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 7:27 pm

      December 31st, 2008 at 8:09 pm

      Team Edward all the way.

      Even though I can see Jacob’s side, Edward is too perfect for Bella.

      And Happy New Year Twilighters :)

    62. Emilee Says:
      December 31st, 2008 at 8:41 pm

      I liked Jacob… until Eclipse, and then he sort of got on my nerves. :/

    67. Sally Says:
      January 1st, 2009 at 1:26 am

      I like Jacob a lot better than Edward personally, but I think Bella belongs with Edward, so I don’t know which one to vote for.

    68. bianca Says:
      January 1st, 2009 at 10:53 pm

      im definitely on jacob’s side. i find him more interesting and all that jazz. but if i choose who should bella end up with.. it would be edward. duh? i like bellward, but i unconditionally, and irrevocably LOVE JACOB BLACK. so, team jake. <3

    69. Anna Says:
      January 4th, 2009 at 4:17 pm

      Ok I chose Team Edward, because I do think Bella and Edward are perfect together, but what about us who love Bella and Edward, but would rather be Team Jacob for ourselves?? It makes filling out the poll rather hard. I get you mean about Bella, but what about our personal preference??

    70. shona Says:
      January 5th, 2009 at 5:25 pm

      I am very much on team Jacob, I always preferred his character to Edward, awesome as both characters are. but I think Edward and Bella definitely should have ended up together. It couldn’t have ended in any other way!

      So this feels rather inaccurate to me- I’m voting team Edward when i feel I should REALLY be voting for team Jacob!!
