Twilight Essays To Be Featured on Buzznet  October 27, 2008 - November 4, 2008

Anyone with even a passing interest in pop culture probably realizes by now the massive wave that is upon us with the release of �Twilight,� the movie adaptation of the wildly popular teen-vampire romance novel by Stephanie Meyer. As a (semi-) responsible media outlet, Buzznet is covering the Twilight phenomenon from every angle and with every tool at its disposal in order to serve its info-craving readers. (Oh, you think vampires act out when they get hungry? You haven�t seen Buzznet kids when they don�t get the content they want.)

One of the central elements of our upcoming Twilight package is actually tied into the story itself. In Twilight, as you may know, a girl named Bella Swan moved from Phoenix, Arizona � where she was sort of lonely and not-so-popular � to small-town Washington state, where she becomes an overnight sensation at her new school, receiving so much attention she struggles to handle it. (To say nothing of the fact that she eventually falls in a love with a, um, vampire.)

With the exception of the bloodlust, we think Bella�s story is somewhat universal. So what we�re wondering is, hasn�t anyone else wrestled with the trauma � psychological or otherwise � of moving to a new town, a new school, or a new life? We�d really like to hear your story, in your own words. Write the compelling � but true � account of your own trial or tribulation when you re-located (Did you find new friends or lose old ones? Did you find your identity? Or lose it?). We�d like to feature the best essays on Buzznet, a music-centric community that attracts more than 10 million readers a month.
