Is is possible to be a former hater who's just been worn down by the constant stream of Twilight (in my case by my Twi-obsessed wife) and reach a grudging fan-status?
I used to genuine hate Twilight, I mean, with a passion. I was forced to read the inane pointless books and watch the first movie and I resented that so badly, I spent a huge amount of time taking the piss, highlighting flaws and generally enjoying 'giving into my hate'.
But then it started to grow on me... the later books were marginally less inane and the movies were a considerable improvement... but I find this difficult to reconcile with the enjoyment I still get from hating on them though.
but I'd also be really interested to hear from those in-between, those who perhaps made a similar transition from die-hard hater to having something approaching affection for the franchise?

I've written about my evolution into what I'd term a reluctant fan in a much longer piece here:
