Try again with Eliezer’s Harry Potter fanfic. It worked on my girlfriend to the point where she sought out some of Eliezer’s posts on her own (Guessing the Teacher’s Password is one that comes to mind).
It has been a running joke between my girlfriend and me, that she’d get into reading Less Wrong stuff if there was a Twilight fanfic instead of the Harry Potter one. So far she hasn’t read much LW material besides that article of yours that started with the cute bunny.
She’s a real Twilight addict, spends much of her time reading the “Twitarded blogosphere”, has to see every Twilight movie at the “midnight premieres” that are the first opportunities when they come out (and drags me along to those).
Not to make her sound simple, though—she’s also working on a biotech PhD, and while in school was the highest placing girl in a nationwide math competition etc.

Or if she likes Twilight and the luminosity material in particular is likely to help her, my new Twilight fic.
OMG OMG LOL (in a positive way).

My girlfriend dislikes Twilight as much as I do, but I have some other friends that might be interested in that.
Same tactic worked for me (as noted in the comments above).
