Elena’s Choice

At the end of “The Turning Point,” Elena confessed that she wanted to be with Stefan no matter what it took. But we’re a little skeptical. Why? Maybe because it wasn’t long after that when she happened upon Katherine’s picture and she stormed out! We’re starting to wonder if the conflicted brunette can commit to the tumultuous perils of being in love with a Vampire. Does she have what takes or should Stefan move on to someone who’s truly willing to risk everything for true love?

The Many Faces of Elena

POSTED BY The Vampire Diaries ON November 24th, 2009

“Elena, cool and blond and slender, the fashion trend setter, the high school senior, the girl every boy wanted and every girl wanted to be. Who just now had an unaccustomed scowl on her face and a pinch to her mouth.”

Elena Gilbert, the blond homecoming queen from the books, is very different from the “beauty with baggage” we know from the show. L.J Smith’s Elena has it all, which makes her complete transformation all the more shocking. But the show’s Elena is knee deep in depression from the moment Stefan arrives in Mystic Falls…she has nothing to lose when she falls for him.

The two Elenas experience very different journeys. But what we want to know is, what aspect of Elena’s story do you relate to most and why?

Still haven’t met L.J. Smith’s Elena? Meet her in The Awakening. You can find it here.

Dangerous Love Triangle

POSTED BY The Vampire Diaries ON November 24th, 2009

“They were like no eyes she had ever seen, black as midnight, the pupils dilated like a cat’s. They filled her vision as he leaned toward her, bending his head down to hers. [Elena] felt her own eyes half close, losing focus. She felt her head tilt back, her lips part.”

Here’s a hint: The “black as midnight” orbs described above aren’t Stefan’s. Damon may be the immortal Elena hates most in the world on TV, but in the books…well, L.J. Smith fans know there’s definitely more to the story than that…

Don’t get us wrong, we love Elena and Stefan, but in The Vampire Diaries books, L.J. Smith paints a tension-filled love triangle between Stefan, Elena, and Damon that we can’t get enough of. Elena loves Stefan…but there’s something about Damon, overpowering, irresistible Damon, that she can’t tear herself away from. And, as far as Damon is concerned, Elena should be his and his alone.

Tell us, which portrayal sounds most compelling to you…and, deep down, which brother do you really think loves Elena the most?

It Began with The Awakening

POSTED BY The Vampire Diaries ON November 24th, 2009

Vampire Diaries: The Awakening

As most TVD fans know, the series began with L.J. Smith’s first novel, The Awakening. The first season of TVD on TV covers some of what’s featured in the first book, but if you’re intrigued by the intense love triangles in the show, The Awakening and L.J’s second book, The Struggle, will give you more to sink your teeth into. In the show, Stefan has come to Fell’s Church (not Mystic Falls) to find Elena. He claims, “He has to know her.” But in the books, it’s Elena who’s after Stefan…and Damon who spots Elena first. (Finders keepers? You’ll have to read and find out).

If you can’t get enough of Damon in the show, you will love the way his character mysteriously develops and casts his spell on Elena in the books. In fact, there’s a lot to love about the books. Find them here, and tell us what you think.

Please note if your comments have “SPOILERS” for those who haven’t read the books yet.

Discuss The Turning Point

POSTED BY The Vampire Diaries ON November 19th, 2009

SPOILER ALERT: This entry is for those of us who’ve already watched the latest TVD.

We thought last week’s episode was epic . . . but “The Turning Point” blew us away. Logan was psychotic. Damon was toyed with. Tyler was vulnerable. Alaric was . . . well, we’re still not sure. And Elena and Stefan gave us everything we’d hoped for . . . until it all fell apart. But, by far, the most shocking thing that happened tonight was the reanimation of whomever it was that Elena collided with.

The question is…what was that . . . and what happens next? Any predictions?
