Do SF authors make up new elements? The elements don't seem to be in Seaborg's island of stability, either.

Actually, what I really mean is why would the sort of person who can't be bothered to look at a table of elements or think about the general decline in half-lives as atomic mass increases past a certain point bother with SF? What's the attraction for them?

I realize this comment is two weeks late but hey. The series where the vampires are mindless and piloted by necromancers is Ilona Andrews' "Magic s" series, #3 of which just came out and which I ate yesterday.

Twilight I have never read, or seen the movie, and now never need to, thanks to

(movie-in-fifteen-minutes review by Cleolinda)
and her reviews of all five books, linked in at the top of the movie review and at
http://cleoland.pbworks.com/Twilight#Bookdiscussionentries
(note that Midnight Sun is the fifth-and-last book, but covers the same events as the first from Edward's point of view, so she put them together on the wiki).

Extremely worth reading for the sustained snark level.
