yea i know right

it was funny, Rob pattinson had actually thought he leaked it for a second lol, but I think it was an honest mistake on her friends part, i rekon she must've misplaced it, and maybe some hater did get a hold of it, maybe a hacker even lmao who knows, she might have scanned it on her computer for whatever reasons, and then maybe a hacker got a hold of it,then ended up in a twi haters site lmao not likely but I just wanted to join the fun aha! just goes to show who you should trust!

Everything can make sense in these situations

That actually makes a lot of sense to me..

Yeah, and she doesn't want to tell us who it is, because she thinks they had nothing but noble intentions. :/

Ya read the rest of the forum we've gone over it

stephenie said she know the person who leaked it

A large portion

Hehe, some portion of a world.

uh ya she basically had our world in her hands.

Yeah, the friend should of been more careful of where she placed it.

Even if it wasn't on purpose still a little guilt.

I hope that she is a good enough person that she at least felt a little guilty letting down not only Stephenie, but millions of fans.

Well I can't imagine how horrible she feels about it her copy getting leaked.

Why, Melzz said they're still good friends

oh i feel bad for the friend.

Because they're still good friends, and she doesn't want anyone to see them badly. ¬_¬

Why won't stephenie spill the beans

I don't know, this is all speculation.

I don't know if the friend scanned them, but that's how the website made it postable. It could just have easily been taken as a notebook, and then scanned by someone else.

Why would the friend scan them in the first place?

She wrote some of it before she got published, so she gave a draft to her friend in a sprial-bound notebook. The website got a hold of them in scanned pages.

How did Stephenie give her drafts to her friends, electronically or hard copy

Well, Stephenie knows who it was, but she said there was no "malicious intent". So, maybe the friend got careless, and a hate site got hold of it? It was traced back to an anti twilight site.

I still don't know how someone got it from the friend or if the friend was the one that leaked it.

Ya but I think the first person that had it wasn't careful and some insane person leaked.

I believe Stephenie when she says that there wasn't any bad intent. The person was her close friend, and i think that whatever way it got leaked, it was on accident or unknowingly on their part. The person who actually leaked it obviously is a hater. At least, that's how my reasoning works...

Kayla wrote: "I think the hater club that posted it got hold of it from the first person somehow."

Yeah, and that would mean that the hater that got hold of it leaked it, not the friend. Good thinking.

I guess... maybe. but the manuscript copies were given to very close friends, Stephenie says so herself. I think that whoever leaked it had no super malicious intent, and that they weren't a hater. I think the hater club that posted it got hold of it from the first person somehow. I do feel for Stephenie, though. And if(no, when) she finished DHN, it'll be the best out of all of them. Keep writing, Steph!

wow never thought of that. It's possible. Well actually that's something I've never thought about. Hmm I kind of think it was a fan that was so excited they leaked it everywhere. How they got a hold of it is interesting.

Thanks. :)

It's alright, it's hard.

I'm young so I may be a little off in my own world, but I just can't imagine it. I just can't.

I don't think someone who hated it would post it knowing the impact it would make. If a hater posted it they might try to squeeze a few negative comments out of it. Someone can be that mean.

That's alot to think about...could someone acully dislike the book so much as to post it on a forum and ruin it for everybody else? I think that jelously and dishonesty is a lot more probible.

Although it it is possible, someone can't be that mean.

In my opioin.

EXACTLY!!

There are some very obsessed haters out there, I wouldn't doubt someone would take the time.

LOL...yeah right!!

I don't know if a hater would take the time to get a version of midnight sun.

Yeah it makes perfect sense...I always wondered if she did it that way or if she went back and wrote it later.

No problem. :)
It makes sense, though. Some people like to do two different POV's when writing a story, to make it more rounded.

Wow I had no idea she wrote it that long ago!! Thanx for the info Melzz!

She didn't hand it over. She wrote a few drafts of Midnight Sun in a notebook, with hand numbered pages. She'd been writing it along side with Twilight way back in 2003, before she had any idea she would be a famous author. Then she gave some of it to her friends. Haven't you ever shared your work? And it was posted on a hate forum. Those are facts.

She probably had no idea anyone would want to read it. There are tons of amatuer authors giving things out.

I doubt that she would just hand it over to just anyone. I mean we are talking about something that could have potentially made her a ton of money.

DOUBT IT.
*AHEM*
But why would Steph give a copy to a hater? That just doesn't make sense.
I think it was a stupid person not looking into the future, and ruining it for the rest of the lovers.
Unless sMeyer is REALLY stupid, of course. Usually us haters are very... vocal about our opinions, so she doesn't have the "But I had not clue they hated it!" Excuse.

Maybe Stephenie gave a copy to someone that she trusted and it got misplaced or something...I mean Anna Kendrick accidentally threw away her New Moon script and someone found it...that person decided to give it back to summit and was rewarded with a trip to the movie premier...but not everyone is that honest.

It's possible, more likely than a fan stealing and leaking it.

Chelsea wrote: "knew stephenie meyer would'nt finish it"

They couldn't possibly have known that, they could have speculated, but there would be no way to be sure.

I believe it was a hater also because they probably knew if they leaked it on the internet before it was finished and knew stephenie meyer would'nt finish it because we experienced it before it was finished.

Personally I believe it was a hater. Not someone who hates the books because they aren't good reads, but because they are jealous. Has anyone considered this theory?

Think about it. Let's say your an author. You have, I dunno, eight published books out there. And yet, here you are pouring your heart and soul into your books and all of a sudden out of no where comes some un-famous author who writes a for-fun novel about a vampire romance and takes the literacy world by storm. Jealousy eating at you, you find yourself with the first chapters of a copy of Stephs newest book, Midnight Sun. You want some of that fame, you want so badly to be remembered by the world that you publish the draft online as your own.

Make sense? Of course, I could be way off, but it's a possibilty.

O.o
