It seems like the merry people of Forks(WA) are even less amused about the whole Twilight episode than pretty much everyone on the internets. In another case of XKCD predicting the immediate future villagers are pissed off about fanboys and -girls invading their private space because author Stephenie Meyer googled for a rainy place to set her gay vampire spectacle in.

"Today hundreds visit the town daily; its visitor count for June was more than 8,000 - around the number who used to come in a year. Restaurants have Twilight-themed menus with dishes such as Bellasagne, shops sell Twilight items, and tours cover the books' locations.
The logging town has been transformed, says Mike Gurling of the Forks Chamber of Commerce. "Two years ago we did not have a cash register or credit card terminal. Now our sales of anything that says 'Forks' have increased dramatically."
How about making vampire hunting a state-sanctioned profession again? I'd apply.
