Jaspers one of my fav. characters, I especially like the calming effect he had in the movie!!

Did Stephanie Meyer write Midnight Sun? Is it out on book or on a website?
She never finished or published. She's not going to either finish or publish it anyway. if you want to read the first 15 chapters, it's posted on http://www.stepheniemeyer.com

she is going to finish and publish! (check out the midnight sun thread)
okay i'll cut and paste from the other thread...
June 2008 Update: In response to the outrageous number of emails that I have received with questions concerning Midnight Sun, I talked to Stephenie this weekend and she asked me to let everyone know that Midnight Sun is her next project. She has not yet finished writing it (and there is no timeline set up, so we all need to put a lot of effort into being patient for a while longer), but she is definitely still planning on having it published. And, after Breaking Dawn comes out, Stephenie will have much more time to focus on writing Midnight Sun.and here's the link if you want to read it yourself:

But that was ALL before the hacker incident. The hacker incident happened after that post was made!
See? this was August 28, 2008:
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.

I loved it but I was sad to see that some of the parts from Twilight was cut out such as bloodtyping, sitting at lunch together, etc...
I loved it!I loved the guy he is sooooooooooooooo hot!But the movie did not put that much of the stoff in the book.the books are beter!
i totaly agree. im soo happy theyre gonna hav a new director for the sequals :]
Same! Theres alot of weird casting going on. like Venessa Hudgens and Dakota Fanning. I even heard that Jesse McCartney was auditioning!
The only one i have heard of so far is Dakota Fanning for Jane. But im more interested in who they cast for Aro. I was thinking it would be cool to see Luke Goss. He played prince Nuada in Hellboy 2. But i have heard people say they wouldn't mind seeing Christopher Walkin play Aro. To those people i say you know nothing of the book if you can see him playing Aro.
Yeah, Jane was a child when she was turned or have you not read the book carefully?
I think Dakota would be okay. shes deffinatley not the worst desision so far! I mean, Jesse McCartney and Vanessa Hudgens!? I think should steer away from disney if the movie wants to be taken seriously. and i think that Ben Barnes has been casted as Aro, u know the guy from the Narnia movie, the cute dark haired one.
