So I was in a bookstore today.
"Hey, there's Chinese Twilight."
"Wait, what?"
"Over here, see? Whole series, looks like."
"...I...guh...it's...it's Twilight...with Chinese words."
"Yeah. Wonder how good the translation is. Pity they're shrink-wrapped. What's Chinese for 'vampire'?"
"Uh, I think it's---nooo, I don't know. I don't want to know. WHY IS THERE TWILIGHT IN CHINESE?"
"Hmm...printed prices on the covers are in Taiwan and Hong Kong dollars. No Renmingbi, but I'd assume...and hell, they're over here. Chinese-speaking is a huge market, man."
"But I don't want there to be Twilight in Chinese."
"Everybody loves vampires."
"...very expensive vampires."
"Holy...is that price tag right?"
"They ARE imports."
"Apparently Edward Cullen is a pricey boytoy."
Moral of story: sparkle vampires are everywhere. Friend made me take pictures. I now have photographic evidence of China Twilight on my cell.
I would not pay for China Twilight, but I would pay to see Thibor punch sparkle vampire.
I would.
