31 | |
32 | While Andrew, Matt, and Elysa headed up Imprint, a podcast dedicated to the ''Twilight'' Series. The podcast tends to fall a bit on the Twihard side of the uberfan-uberhater spectrum, but still manages to sneak in a few moments of snark (the podcast even managed to score an interview with the rather publicity-shy Stephenie Meyers herself). |
