2286923 Yeah, I hope she does get back to it at some point.

1029949 Mmmm no.
I still think it's a tease.
She's a grown woman, she doesn't have to bend to every demand her fans throw at her. We'd live if she didn't post the leaked version. And I think everyone would have been happier in the end (including herself).

Now THAT I understand. It's all just an unfortunate occurrence. A rough portion of the book got leaked... she got pressured into revealing that publicly... and now with everyone already critiquing it, it definitely would be depressing and difficult to continue.

But hopefully she will just ignore all of that and continue writing. I really am afraid though. She said things like... she's not up to finishing it... she wrote it on a whim...
It just makes me think that if she thought of it so easily, she could drop it as easily. I just want her to get it done so I can read it :) idc how long

2286923 I thought the same way as you do, Jesi. Until I got the facts. Actually, she only posted the first chapter in the beginning. She was still in the process of writing it (she was half-way through) when her notebook was stolen and all of what she had written (not just the released chapter) was posted on to the Internet . She was so stunned she had a hard time getting back and finishing the book, so she decided to take a vacation from it.

Then, people kept urging her to post what the leaker already had. She actually posted the same leaked remnants of it per the fans request. Even though she would rather not show it at it's rawest stage. So, instead of calling an author—who released something she'd rather not have out-there in the first place—a "tease", maybe you should consider the idea that she did it for us.

Also, she said in an interview, she got over the leak a few weeks after it happened. The only reason she hasn't been able to finish it is because everyone is giving her input. It's difficult to try creating something when millions of fans are hovering over her shoulder. I know I can't write anything when I feel like my door is open to opinions.

She needs to get over herself. What a tease! She threw an excellent book in our faces to suddenly pull it away because she's too much of a baby and can't handle that someone gave out her "embarrassing" unedited version of her book. It's been done before. Nobody really cared about the edit of it, it wasn't published, it was a leaked book. That's what we expected!

So don't put it up on your site not even half finished just to say that this is the most we are going to get!

2286923 No one even knows if she's going to continue the Twilight Series--She hasn't been contracted for any more of the books--let alone if another would be about Jacob, and him dying.

Kim goes on to say that Stephenie should be honored. So I don't think that was what she was getting at.

Did you know that DHN is available on stephenie meyer's website to read the first 200 pages or so? you might want to check it out!

Kim wrote: "i think is selfish u punish people for loving her work"


No one is being "punished" for loving her work at all! All opinions are respected. I was just stating mine, about the books. I have no quams about differing opinions. Had you taken the time to read my comment you would have realized that.


message 183: by Kim (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 i think is selfish u punish people for loving her work we cant help that twilight was life changing lol she should be honored that we love it so much that we cant bear to wait for more.

2679397 WHOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!1!! I HOPE SHE ACTUALLY DOES IT! YAY DHN! <3


message 177: by Melzz (new)

2286923 I kind of found it odd, how Stephenie brought Rosalie into that direction with Eclipse, an then goes back on it. You know? Like, you see that Rosalie isn't selfish, and she wishes Bella would appreciate her humanity. Then all of the sudden in BD, Edward agrees she couldn't care less if Bella was hurt.

And then MS came out and she has a "shallow pool of thoughts" "catching her reflection in a spoon". Well, which one is it?


message 176: by julie (new)

2685666 good family...
you're the fave child in the family ...
your mom gives you beautiful dresses...
have a lot of suitors...
engage w/ a prince...
then...
she has a simple dream ...
to grow old w/ a person he love...
and have grand kids...

but all of these were taken away from her...


so sad for her...

2685666 "Would you like to hear my story, Bella? It doesn’t have a happy ending—but which of ours does? If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now."





message 174: by Ambizzle (new)

2187878 I like unhappy endings sometimes as long as there is some closure

2852226 i like eclipse better, alot of ppl say breaking dawn, and i like it to, but eclipse is more exiliarating to me, plus it has my fav. quote out of the whole series, "take care of my heart , for ive left it with you"(eeep) its so moving, i liked new moon the least, mainly because it made me cry, but i want sooooo bad to read DHN, i have been waiting for forever to read a book in edwards point of view!!!!!!! i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

message 166: by Melzz (new)

2286923 Well she has all she has written in a PDF here. She was actually half way through Midnight Sun--so there you can read all 264 pages of it.


message 165: by Michi (new)

2821720 awww.
i woulda pressed charges.

i only read the 1st chapter


message 164: by Melzz (new)

2286923 Stephenie knows which draft was leaked (there were several) and she knows who she gave it to, but she said there was no "malicious intent" so they're still good. :/


message 163: by Michi (new)

2821720 dang thats prutty messed up.
now that makes me wonder about who did it...


message 162: by Melzz (last edited Oct 10, 2009 02:52AM) (new)

2286923 She doesn't want to hear about it (I assume) because it was leaked, and just talking about it gives her bad feelings.


message 161: by Michi (new)

2821720 ahhh ok i get ya.
but y she doesnt wanna here about it?
i would b extremly happy if someone would talk about my writings...

Michelle wrote: "can enyone explain y shes gonna finnish the book in 2 years?? && y shes changing the name of it??"


Well, for starters, she's not finishing the book in two years. She said in an interview that she was so tired of fans talking about Midnight Sun, that she was definitely not going to get back to work on it until two years after people stopped talking about it.

Since that's physically impossible, a member from a Twilight fansite suggested that we, instead, give it a secret nickname ("Dark High Noon") so Stephenie doesn't have to hear us talk about it.


message 159: by Michi (new)

2821720 wow in spanish??? lol if i tryed reading that i think i may goo loopy!
