Twilight or The Vampire Diaries

I know, this isn't Anime, but I thought this could potentially relate, since I talked about Vampire Knight in my other posts and this debate has been on for a long time. Which one is better?

To be honest? I love them both.
I've known The Vampire Diaries book longer than Twilight. But I've seen the Twilight movie first.
Both have their good and bad.

I like how Twilight stayed true to the book. I enjoyed the books, and they always seem to be better than the movies. Both forms. The characters look as close to the books as possible, even going as far as wearing contacts.
The Vampire Diaries on the other hand, went on its own path. I really like the books, and I especially loved Bonnie McCollough. Don't get me wrong, I think the casting is great, but some things just isn't really there.

However, I really like TVD's creativity and also the interactions between the vampires. The details and stories behind all the vampires were very enjoyable to watch. There are also a lot of humorous intereactions between all of the characters.
Twilight on the other hand, has little of the other vampires for the majority of the films, and sometimes, it can be really serious. I really wanted the Rosalie and Jacob interactions in the last movie, but it was cut out...

I love these books, and now the movie/show. So instead of arguing which one is better, why don't fans look on the other side, and you just might appreciate something else from another point of view.
