Meyer vs. Rowling

Rowling or Meyer?
Well, you can't ask a Harry Potter fan, because this is how they'll reply:
"ROWLING IS WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY BETTER THAN STEPHENIE MEYER!"
And you can't expect a straight answer from a Twihard either:
"..."

So who really is the better author?
Well, first lets start off with their similarities.
First off, JK Rowling and Stephenie Meyer are both female authors, obviously.
Next.. Well, I guess that's it.

There are many more differences though.
Like, a lot more.
Meyer writes her books in first person perspective.
For example, she uses 'I' instead of her or him.
Rowling uses third person perspective, she uses 'him' and 'her' instead of 'I'.
Smeyer's book saga, Twilight, is based only on romance. Even Twilight fans gotta admit that.
JK Rowling's Harry Potter series is based on love, romance, action and mystery. Basically a little bit of everything.
Meyer has a somewhat captivating teen book series on her hands, but Rowling's books appeal to all ages.
Rowling got the idea for Harry Potter on a train ride, Meyer got her idea from an odd dream.
But even with all these facts, how can we chose a winner?
Let's proceed to the next round.
The books.

The Harry Potter books appeal to all ages and genders.
I don't mean to be stereotypical, but Twilight mostly appeals to women, teen girls, and some older preteen females.
Harry Potter has a much more deeper meaning. As Harry Potter followers would say:
"Harry Potter is about bravery, love, and self trust.
Twilight is about having a boyfriend."
Well, it's sort of true.
You gotta admit though, it's a bit harsh.
But the truth is usually harsh, so I guess...

ROWLING BEATS MEYER!
1-0

Not much of a surprise, now that I think of it...
