In the world of Twilight, the ladies over at Letters to Twilight have coined the term “unicorn” to refer to the male fans. The guys who didn’t just “like” the movie, but they’ve read the books, too. Why unicorns you ask? Because these men are such rare and beautiful creatures. Many of us have heard of them, but few actually know any. So those of us who do know one, or are lucky enough to be married to one, are bringing you a series of articles, straight from the unicorn’s mouth. We hope that you’ll enjoy hearing their perspective and pick up some tips to turn your own significant other into a unicorn.
This week we’re featuring TheShagDaddy. He’s the husband of Rob My World’s Amber, a true Twilight fan, a Kristen Stewart supporter and a hilarious twitter addict. The following is from a chat between Amber and TheShagDaddy.

Amber: You have to tell the story of why you started even reading the books. Was it more then just messing with me?
TheShagDaddy: no that was it. I wanted you to think that I got more out of the movie then I did
Amber: well, since there is no way you could bust out Jasper’s last name without reading…
Amber: sorry, REAL last name.
TheShagDaddy: actually, it was Rosalie’s last name that got you wondering at first
Amber: hey, I’ve slept a lot of nights and drooled over a lot of Rob pics since then. My mind may be going.
Amber: but then, once you were done messing with me, why did you KEEP reading them?
TheShagDaddy: that’s because I love twilight while YOU love rob
Amber: hey I love Twilight, mainly ‘cause it opened lots of doors for new obsessions, including Rob!
TheShagDaddy: it was well written with stephenie meyer’s awesome ability of description
Amber: speaking of new obsessions, Twilight started a new one for you with Twitter!
TheShagDaddy: it’s not an obsession, it’s a casual hobby that I can stop any time you say.
TheShagDaddy: please don’t say stop
Amber: please, if I tell you, then I have to stop also.
TheShagDaddy: #truestory
Amber: okay, we need to talk about why other guys should pick up the book.
Amber: other then the obvious one of pleasing their wives/significant others
TheShagDaddy: what other reason is there?
Amber: okay, you read the books and like SM’s writing style, but let’s talk about the blogging
Amber: that’s kind of above and beyond right?
TheShagDaddy: hmmm..i think maybe it was because I liked the idea of being 1 of a handful of straight guys willing to read and talk about twilight
Amber: it was kind of nice to hear a real man’s opinion
TheShagDaddy: it was after that I realized I liked the attention and that somebody [cared] about what I had to say
TheShagDaddy: of course I kept going to see where the story was going to go. and to have something else to blog about, I wanted to keep the ladies please
Amber: Ha, good point.
Amber: but seriously, was it the vampires or the love story that was the biggest draw
TheShagDaddy: the love story, it reminded me the way I felt about things WAY back in high school
Amber: Are you saying I was your Bella? LOL
TheShagDaddy: umm, next question
TheShagDaddy: hahahahahaha
Amber: I know the ending made you sad. how are you filling the void now that you finished the saga?
TheShagDaddy: by constantly talking about it to [guys at work]
Amber: Are you breaking those guys down? Making them want to read it?
TheShagDaddy: not really, but [one guy] saw twilight on his own. he doesn’t even have a girlfriend
Amber: that is impressive
Amber: if you could give one tip to ladies who want to get their DH/BF/SO to read Twilight, what would it be?
TheShagDaddy: don’t push so hard and if they do read any of it, definitely reward it. a smart guy will keep reading after that
