Sadly, I don't think we could convince her but I would defenitely read that story and I totally agree that she would do it justice.

Yeah, for all the comparisons that can be made (and I often see made), they are essentially very different shows.

Yes! I love your take on Elena and where she's coming from. And this is basically all I want from the show. For them to acknowledge that the Salvatores are trying to find some magical fix all to make Elena into who they want her to be, and now who she is or wants to be and how that actually doesn't exist. And I want Elena to call them on it again and again, because they don't get a say in who she is.
