I'm almost done with it. I'm taking a break for some weird reason. I'm on page 695. I loved how there is an index for those bloodsuckers. XD

If you own the collection, I'd say buy it. Otherwise, check it out or borrow from a friend. At least, that's what I would do. I have a pet peeve of owning only one part of a collection, if it's not the first in the series. But then I do it to myself; have a bad habit of borrowing from friends rather than buying.

XDD

I tend to borrow from friends at first, and if I reallllyyyyyyyyyyyyy like it, I buy it so I can read it anytime I choose.


Though there are those days where I just get some books in a series that just looks cool.....


And for some reason I couldn't read Breaking Dawn straight through... It was just too much, so I took quite a few breaks XD

I have the worst news for any Twilight fan!! :(

http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/
 
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 message on the Midnight Sun page). 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


The draft is about 245 pages long, I haven't read it yet (or at least anything but the already released first chapter). I don't know if I want to... I'm hoping she'll change her mind and continue writing again so I don't want to spoil it for myself. But on the other hand, this might be all we get. :-/ It's unfair -- I feel like I'm in highschool again, being punished because the class is being stupid.

Stupid people.



I have the host, I just haven't gotten to far into it yet...

Like, not past the first chapter 'cause I decided reading the Twilight series is more important.
















Which it is.














I want Midnight Sun D:

See, I'm finding myself really disappointed in all things Twilight related right now...

Midnight Sun, while interesting, lacks any originality Twilight had because it is the same story, but through a different view point, which fanfiction authors do all the time. The only difference here, is it is lawful to be published.

The film itself, looks more than disappointing. Kristen Stewart doesn't seem right for the role of Bella and the whole thing seems awkwardly scripted. I realize they had to change a little, but I don't think the book-to-film adaptation was executed nearly as gracefully as could be hoped for.

At least it's not original anymore because of her... not like she took someone else's idea and flipped it. :P

Eh.

I'm quite excited for it. You get a better perspective of Edward and stuff. And you get to see what happens in those times he's not with Bella. I just hope she finishes it.
