The author of Twilight rewrote it so the genders of all the cast, with the exception of Bella's father Charlie, were flipped.
Bella is now Beau (short for Beaufort) and Edward is now Edyth. I don't know about you lads but a vampire story about an introverted boy who gets a strong vampire girlfriend who wants to drink his blood sounds like a great read to me.
I've been reading the new version which I got a torrent off of pirate bay really easily. It's good so far, the writing, as you would expect, is questionable, but like Harry Potter it's addictive because of its simplicity.
Anyway, if anyone else reads it lets talk about it. What other stories do you think would benefit from being gender-swapped? Know any good stories with a shy guy/ confident girl dynamic that already exists? I'd love to give it a read.

Not a troll post mate. I get why you think it would be though.

Well then I really don't know what to say. I think, in general, gender is pretty important to an authors presentation of character and would distort it's message if it was changed to something ridiculous. In the cases when it's not, it'd just superficial and signs more of badwrriting.
Don't read much romance (read Twight in my tweens though) which is probably the best genre for it.
The writing of the book is very different. It's very simplistic and blunt. It makes me happy that it isn't just the author having self loathing for women. I now know she doesn't understand how men or women work.
Imagine if Ulysses was Alyssa.

It really is. Top notch.

Read Orlando backwards.

Did she flip Bella's mother's gender then?
This raises questions.

Odnalro?

Nah that stayed the same, too. The author said she couldn't switch it for story reasons because of the mother getting custody of the child. Makes sense I guess.

Still reading it. Gender-bent Edward and Jacob are hot as fuck.
