I think guys should read it...it's not only for girls..I might get my brother to read it(Only the first and second, 3 and 4 would be inappropiate for him), but then he'd kill me because he's a werewolf, lol. _________________

I'm extremely late in the whole Twilight hype, but I've just ordered the first book and waiting for it to arrive.
I'm guessing I'm going to love it?  _________________

It is beyond obvious the demographic this book is aimed at, though. And that demographic is not those with extra equipment (this forum be damned =/). |

Yes, there are only four books in the series and for now that is where Stephanie Meyer is stopping. She is coming out with a Twilightpedia December 30th and she wants to write Midnight Sun, which is Twilight, but told from Edward's point of view. _________________

first Harry Potter, now comes Twilight....
am I reliving my teenage years?
Reading Twilight series makes me feel so warm and fuzzy all over.... like a teenager in love again.
I am in love. With the character. Edward Cullen. Enough said.

I just finished reading Twilight. I thought the first 8 or so chapters were good but after that it wasn't holding my attention as much until the end and I couldn't put it down. I did like it a lot. _________________

Update on her Site
| Quote: |
As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.
I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.
I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.
So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.
I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this post). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place.
I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.
--Stephenie |
BAAAAAAAAAW!
AREN'T YOU, LIKE, SO CHAGRINED!!??
Bah. Smeyer continues to shame authors with her shining unprofessionalism and immaturity. Oh well.
Now I get to laugh at all the crying at school on Tuesday when they realize that MIDNIGHT SUN IS CANCELLED!
Frankly, I would have /loved/ for her to go through with the idea of killing the Cullens. Maybe then Bella would kill herself and we wouldn't have to put up with her horrible, blatant Mary Sueicide anymore. I would have bought the book simply for that.
CHEERS! In the name of TS.com, I'm in it for the lulz! _________________ The Most Popular Book in the Whole World |

Yeah, I'm so sad that shes delaying it. But she did post what she had finished on her website!But it doesn't make any sense for her to delay the book. True Twilight fans wouldn't look at the illegal stuff!She needs to get a grip. I'm actually reading the rough draft(on her website, right now. _________________

She's not finishing the book. No Midnight Sun.
I'm making bets that R.Pattinson did it. It's no secret that he hates Twilight, and Smeyer even BLAMED HIM for Twi-hards not liking Breaking Dawn.
Though I seriously hope he didn't stoop so low, he's one of the people she gave the manuscript to. _________________ The Most Popular Book in the Whole World |

I guess I must have read it wrong, then. The way I interpreted her tantrum was, "Screw this. If you won't NOT leak information then NO BOOK FOR YOU EVER. )<" _________________ The Most Popular Book in the Whole World |
