O.k....so with the small group that we have -- I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that there won't be quite as big of a split...but it still might be interesting to see who wants what and why.

I want Bella to become a vampire! I can't, can't, can't wait! If she doesn't...I certainly will NOT be one who says that, "I'll NEVER read a SM book again"...I just have too much faith in her and whatever happens will satisfy me I'm sure (that takes a LOT of faith as more than ANYTHING...(well...other than the whole sex thing)...I want Bella to be bitten!!!!!! So I say....bring on the biting fest and turn her!!!!

I so want her (me) to become a vampire. I just can't imagine her not. I think it HAS to happen. so for me the question is When?

Ditto~I'm all for Bella getting Vamp'd. I just hope that she gets to have sex with Edward FIRST!!! ARGH!

That will be the one thing that would infuriate me though, if for some reason she didn't get that human experience.

I want her to be changed. As for the sex, I don't care if it is before or after the change, just so it happens. First times usually aren't that great anyway. And as a vampire, it's probably always great !

I definitely want her to get vamp'd as well. I bet SM is going to make us weed through a whole lot of "foreplay," so to speak, and have her FINALLY get changed at the end of the book.

I most definitely want her to be changed. I can't imagine her life without becoming an "equal" to Edward. I just don't know if I could take it if SM didn't eventually make her immortal. However, I don't think it will come without it being some sort of emergency. The suspense is absolutely killing me.

I don't have any issues with your theory of her having to be changed because of an emergency. I just want her to be changed, no matter how it is done and no matter what the circumstances.

I like the emergency theory! Did anyone read blondie's fan fic that she had sort of on these lines?? I think edward would do it anyway so it's not as if he didnt choose it. it was just bad timing

I like the emergency theory also because that way Jacob may be able to live with it better, ya know what I mean??

Yeah, I am thinking that something with the Volturi showing up and her not being changed and there being a threat to her life, will prompt Edward to change her or run with her, and then change her to keep her from being killed.

I like the idea of Bella being hurt and Jacob asking Edward to save her. Then, everyone is happy!

The damsal in distress theory ... interesting ... it has been working for Bella so far. I'd like to see her character become more assertive and less clumsy. And the change happen because they are ready for it (shit that sounds like the sex scene! hahaha) ... I think you are correct that it will be written as a do or die situation, and we are therefore happy that it was the only option for her and then nobody is going to HATE Edward or the Cullens.

And as much as I really want her to be bitten and the *cough* heated scenes get going, I really wanted her and Jacob to have 10 years together first to have babies ... AWE ... just a passionate thought! Edward said he would wait however long for her.
