Twilight Morality Game

As I query, I find myself wondering about strange things.  Things like morality, time travel, and Twilight. 

Say you happen upon an unattended time machine.  After taking a quick look around, you hop in and take it for a joyride.  Despite repeated viewings of Back to the Future, you can't figure out how it works.  Dejected, you are about to give up when you trip and knock a gear shift.   A flash of light and Dr. Who-like grating noises sound and you suddenly find yourself in a back corner of an Arizona library, circa 2005. 

Stephanie Meyers sits alone at a table, fingers poised over laptop. Your sudden materialization frightens her.  Your outfit choice--zombie Halloween costume--doesn't help matters (seriously, what were you thinking?).  She grabs her chest and keels over.  Being the good person you are, you rush to offer assistance.  Unfortunately, it's too late.  Not even Edward and his chaste vampire control love could save her now.  You are about to pound on the library table and curse God for taking a young mother in the prime of her life when you spot a document on her laptop.  It's a query letter. For Twilight.  And it's almost finished.  All it needs is a signature.

SO, dear readers:

Would you sign your name, print it out and start sketching a floorplan for your new solid gold house?  Or would you burn it and find out what a non-Twilight influenced universe would look like?
