I keep hearing about this Rob Effect for Breaking Dawn and I have no clue what it is?

Question

I keep going on all this Stephenie Meyer fan websites and they keep talking about how ridiculous the "Rob Effect" is... What the heck are they talking about?

Answer 1

Rob effect! haha i read the first guys answer and i have to laugh because i thought he would make a horrible edward. and then after seeing him everywhere with twilight all around him, i got used to him and now im okay with him lol

Answer 2

It's SMEYER trying to tell the fans that they will eventually like her fanfiction-book.

Answer 3

As you know, the fan reaction to Breaking Dawn was hugely mixed. In respone to those very, very vocal fans who did not enjoy the book, Stephenie Meyer said in an interview that she thought they were xperiencing the "Rob Effect."

If you remember, when Robert Pattinson (gorgeous...luv him!!) was first announced to be playing Edward Cullen, most fans were outraged. As time went on, the reactions turned more in favor of him until he had a bunch of girls screaming at his name. (I'm one of those girls.) So Stephenie thinks that although those fans hate Breaking Dawn now, they'll gradually grow to like and appreciate it.

There. Hope I helped! :)

The Rob Effect, apparently, is how many fans didn't like Robert Pattinson as Edward (seriously? he's not good enough? crazy!) but eventually accepted him. She thinks it will happen with Breaking Dawn, too.
