Please do not say never.
It’s got to happen. Just got to. Oh, I am so heartbroken.

I think we should bombard her with mail telling her how much we love it, and how we would love her to finish.

OMG people are so stupid for doing that, i was so looking forward to reading the complete story. i love edward and i always wanted to read what was going through his head….nice job jerks for ruining it for all twilight fans….

I have died.

This really sucks, I hope she does get around to writing it again because I really want to know what’s going on in Edward’s head during all that.

Now, if I could just get it to come up on her site so I could read it, because it’s not working for me.

whoever did this is a serious traitor to the whole twilight fandom.
i hope they realize that if smeyer never decides to restart this whole process, they just broke the heart of every twilight fan. its so sad that they did this. she was writing this really as a gift to her fans and she was betrayed.
i say we boycott the reading of the draft on her site, out of respect for her. this is NOT what she wanted us to see.
i am sad for her, but infuriated at the leaker.

OH MY GOSH, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!!! But she said, “on hold indefinitely”, so that doesn’t necessarily mean NEVER :’{

what does indefinitely mean.
does that mean shes stopped writing it?
this cant be happening.
its so sad, i think im gonna cry.

someone PLEASE contact stephenie meyer and beg her to keep going.
for the sake of all the twilighters around the world..
and for the people that has given constant support for her publishings..

This is horrible, I hate this, I was sooooooooo looking foward to this, I hope whoever did this feels horrible about it because they deserve much worse than guilt

indefinite means vague, unclear, without limit, or until further notice

What makes me sad is that it sounds like she knows who did this. I really wanted a published copy of Midnight Sun to put next to my copy of Twilight on my bookshelf. It sounds like that won’t happen. I am glad that she wanted us to stay honest and so gave us her partial draft. I look forward to any future book written by Stephenie Meyer.

this sooo totally sucks! I was really hoping for Midnight Sun to come out in bookstores..I didn’t even bother to look at the leaked chapters when I heard someone posted it up, I like to wait for the books to come out to know what happens, I can’t believe this. I feel very bad for Stephenie, I know she must feel very hurt right now, but I will still continue to support her and I hope things turn out well for her soon.

I’m just so sick about this whole thing. The actions of one person just ruined it for millions. It hurts that Stephenie got burned by someone she trusted enough to read it, who wants to share their stories if that’s the way your going to be treated.
I’m really upset that we might not ever see Midnight Sun fully done and released but if I was her I would have to stop to.
I’m also with the boycott of not reading what’s already been done, even though she posted it. I’m just going to have to pray that one day I can hold my own FINISHED copy of Midnight Sun in my hands.

Truly a sad day for twilighters everywhere.

Uhm…Okay, in the anticipation of some bashing, I read the chapters. However…I didn’t know it was Stephenie’s friend who leaked it. Now I feel just horrible. I kept it to myself, however. But I really want her to finish Midnight Sun…To those who haven’t read it, it’s pretty darn good, even with flaws. Now we won’t even get to see the final product.
I think I just died a little bit inside.

i cant explain how mad i am about this something needs to be done lets start websites or something

In my utter shock and bewilderment and through tears I thought the same thing…that she wasn’t going to continue writing Midnight Sun…but indefinitely means undecided , unsure and unclear so I will hope will all the LOVE in my heart for Edward & Bella that Stephenie will continue writing Midnight Sun and one day publish it for all the fans who love E&B so very much…and doesn’t let the one person ruin Midnight Sun for millions of loyal fans!!! OH! MY SOUL WEEPS!!!!

My heart cries out in agony as my tears fall, I can’t even put into words the trauma I am experiencing but it feels akin to Bella’s when Edward left. There must be something that can be done to show how much we love her story and want it to continue. Something to show her that no matter what, we care!

Whoever did this deserves to be hit by a train.

I really hope Stephanie can finish the book, but I understand why she can’t at this time. In respect of what has happened to her I’m not reading the chapters until she is ready with a finished book.

It’s just sickning that a FRIEND would do this to her.

I just wrote her a myspace message begging her to re-consider. It probably won’t do any good, but what can I say, I must be going through the 5 stages of grief.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! now there’s nothing except the movie to wait for.

Honestly, after reading this post, every other word that came out of my mouth was a swear word. I have never sweared that much in my life.
And while I was reading this post, my heart got soo torn. The character that I loved the most (other than Bella and Renesmee), won’t be read about. And as I type, my heart still breaks with this horrific news. I hope that the damn idiot that did this to us, that did this to Stephenie Meyer, the Goddess of the Twilight world, goes to hell.
Gah..times like this, it would be very helpful to have the power to read minds…
eeerrrrrrrrrr

Ok, now that it has been an hour since I read this and I have had some time to think…This means recon mode as in we need websites, emails, fan letters, anything to make SM start writing again. We need to turn the frown upside down! LETS GET MOVING PEOPLE!

I too have been trying to think of something that would help show SM how much we love her and her series and how much we want Edward to be heard. Is there something that represents Edward, something small, that we could send to show our appreciation? Or perhaps a special message that would show our support and our desire for Midnight Sun? If we organized enough we might make a difference.

I have created a Facebook group called “Boycott reading the leaked draft of Midnight Sun!”. Please join. I am horrified at what has happened….disgusted…

YAY! naomi! that is a perfect idea!
i am in fully agreement with the boycott!
show SMeyer the respect she deserves. she is to amazing to have this done to her.

Wow. This is really upsetting. I can’t believe that someone distributed the draft without her permission; it’s a serious break of trust.
I feel sorry for Stephenie - this entire situation makes ME feel sick. I don’t even want to know how she feels about it.
Don’t know whether I will be reading the draft or not. With the leak, a publication becomes almost impossible. There is no use in publishing a book, where half is already on the net.
This is truly shocking. I’m speechless, and that doesn’t happen a lot.

please stephanie if you are reading this,don’t do this please.in the last couple of sentences you said that you can’t describe how much we(fans) mean to you,then i’ll have to ask you to please write MS for us for your fans,for the one how were with you the whole way…please

i’m so upset

Oh my God….. I think I’m going to cry……. I didn’t read it……. And now I’ll never get to read the full thing………. Poor, Stephanie……. She has to finish it…. Oh no, I’m going back to school today and I’m going to be a wreck…… Heartbroken…

Of course. I’m eloquent and it goes into the wrong thread. *sigh*

Yes, this is inviting flames. You’ve a right to express your opinion just the same as I have a right to express my opinion.

Ms. Meyer has a team of lawyers that could have suppressed any “leak” before most of us were aware of it. She could have had those lawyers place recipients of her unfinished manuscript under contract that they would NOT leak it or face certain legal doom.

She did not.

I appreciate the stand you all are making on her behalf, but that does not make the first 12 chapters any less present on the internet. As a fan, I was able to look past the typographical errors to the intent behind them and able to appreciate the story presented.

Yes, I will be sad if Midnight Sun is never published. Edward’s story is VASTLY more interesting than Bella’s story. However, I think that the first 12 chapters being “leaked” is a publicity stunt. Something to keep us addicted and salivating and anxious until the movie is released. I will, frankly, not be surprised if Midnight Sun is concurrently released with, or shortly after, the movie.

Ms. Meyer has written a story..she’s written a universe..that even Tolkien would be proud of..but without his belaboring. There’s nothing I could come up with in my own head that would be better than Ms. Meyer’s canon.

I’m sorry she’s been disenheartened by this breach, but I think it could have been circumvented if she had truly wished it.

Well this sucks

This is horrible. I agree that we need to find a way to send the message to her that she is so loved. I think that because some people were negative about Breaking Dawn she was already feeling bad and now this. She needs to know now more than ever that her TRUE fans still love her!

I had held off reading the leak, first because I had no way of knowing if it was real, and second because I too wanted to read the finished product… with Stephenie putting it on hold indefinitely, and making it available through her site, I think I’ll probably end up reading it.

I think i just threw up in my mouth a little.

Is it April Fools? Am I being punked? I can’t *#$(%*& believe this.

Stephenie, please don’t lose heart.

Thank goodness! I’m soo glad this stupid saga is OVER. It’s like Harry Potter all over again! Thank you to whoever leaked.

Omg. This can’t be happening. No Midnight sun. We have to hope someday (hopefully soon rather than later) she will carry on and finish it. We need midnight sun

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

omeee!! n no no plesas stehphenie plz publish it we really want it. Well us who r not stupid and leaked it plz im seriously im about to cry

I hope you finish Midnight Sun. There are a few malicious people out there that would be very happy to see you walk away from it. However you have a huge fan base that is anxiously awaiting the arrival of Midnight Sun. Love the entire Twilight series!

ok please please please finish midnight sun!!!! esspecially since a lot of people weren’t involved at all and had no idea about the leak!! (not me) she cant just like stop writing when it wasn’t the readers fault! what about the people who never wanted to read it at all? (niamh) it’s like giving up. letting the hp fans win after all this.

STFU CAROLINE!!! seems like your not a true twilighter.

pricilla, i AM crying

man that sucks! Glad to see she taking it well!

I cant wait for Midnight Sun!

What a cop-out! I can not believe that Stephenie Meyer is going to let the actions of one STUPID person ruin it for the rest of the world. Who cares if it’s filled with flaws? She should continue writing and not just quit! A writer who was really passionate about their work wouldn’t let something like this stop him/her. What is she teaching the youth of America? That cheaters win and if you don’t get your way you should just give up? ugh….

IT WONT HAPPEN

glad to see you’re taking it well

to jen, btw

kill me now!

ya I didn’t hear bout the leak at al til just now

thats my point

damn!! pls. steph! don’t try to kill us!!
we really love your story!!! so will u please love us and continue writing!!

dont you love us!! your faithfully loyal fans!?! we didnt do it, dont punish us!!
i want midnight sun to add to my collection of stephenie meyer!!

at a loss for words here and im crying.

Wow. I feel absolutely horrible for Stephenie Meyer. It’s completely understandable why she wouldn’t want to finish the book now–after all, that was nearly half the book! (if it’s following the same amount of chapters as Twilight, that is) The fact that there is this whole leak going around will probably make those who have read it finish the whole story, and those who haven’t read it want to read it more! I don’t think Meyer should let this get to her, even though this is a big blow to the book. Regardless of leaks, or mistakes or anything like that…I’m sure we can all agree that we’ll love the series no matter what

if anyone has a way to contact her, tell her to read these posts and the list of her supporters and that we support SM sight.

I am shocked someone would hurt Stephenie in such a way. The person who leaked it has to be close enough to deserve a copy. That is heartbreaking. I’m not gonna lie and say I wasn’t looking forward to Midnight Sun because I was. But I’m not going to read the draft. I feel that is unfair. Midnight Sun was not meant to be read yet. The hurt for Stephenie is totally legitimate. Her words were stolen. For everone who hopes she will forgive and forget then start writing it again I hope she can find it in her heart but that would take a lot of strength. Her emotions were so connected with these books if she started writing again when she is ok I’m not sure what her emotions would convey into the book. I wish Stephenie all the best. We (well most of us anyway) love and respect you Stephenie!

i can’t even be angry i am so sad for stephanie and for us fans. i’m not going to read the 12 chapters out of respect for stephanie.

I hadn’t read the 12 chapters, just because I was afraid it was a fake. Now to find this out, I’m torn with what to do. I’ve truly been looking forward to Midnight Sun, and I would love to read it, but I’m very saddened to hear that Stephenie will not be finishing it now. I feel so badly for her and so angry with the person who would violate her like this. I’m sure I cannot even imagine the emotions she is currently going through, especailly for someone she trusted implicitly would go behind her back like this. I love Stephenie Meyer and all of her books. I can only hope this truly gifted author will not be so discouraged that she discontinues writing all together.

We love you, Stephenie!

This is sad…i’m sad =(

Mmh, Leesa’s point of view is very interesting. (29th comment)… people should think about that possibility.

I Totally agrre with the most of you & especially Winnie !
I mean what a jerk to do this ! First, now that the fans read the 12 chapter, we’re even MORE ansious to read MS.
I totally understand what SM feels, it’s understanding that now she’s not in the mood to write.
Yes, I read the 12 chapters, I was weak & I couln’t resist … but that doesn’t mean I’m happy with that person did to stephenie, even more if it was someone she trust.

I just hope she understands that we all support her, and that will be waiting to MS with all the passion in our hearts

She’s not doing this to “punish” fans! She is simply too upset to keep writing right now. That does not mean she will never finish it or never publish it. She just needs some time to think about it. As much as we all want to read Midnight Sun, we need to not be selfish, and think about Stephenie right now and how this must be affecting her. I’m sure she WANTS to finish wiritng Midnight Sun, but on her time-table when she is ready. She loves the Twilight saga even more than the biggest Twilighter!

I’m really pissed that we, the twilight fans, are being punished because a trusted friend of Stephenie leaked this online! If its out there, us as consumers are gonna be interested and assume since she wrote it she knows its out and/or put it out, so we will read it.

I really sympathize with her because this saga is her baby, and she feels betrayed and may need some time to get back into the right mind set, but for her to say indeffinately, kills her fans. The story of these characters, each and everyone, is “our brand of heroine” and coming down off the high of breaking dawn, we can’t go too long without more. We need her to give us something, and the thirst will never be quinched by a sloppy rough draft, that she herself isn’t even happy with.

This is offically depressing me. =[

I can’t believe that has happened! I was really looking forward to Midnight Sun. It makes me feel heart broken all over again.

I can’t believe this…i’m so upset. After reading the 1st chapter on her site I was so jazzed to read Edward’s perspective….I’m really heartbroken….its so sad that this happened. I really hope that she changes her mind and starts writing again when she can or when she is ready. I understand how she feels but at the same time i’m really disapointed…I was really looking forward to this. : (

I am so close to tears, I can’t belive it. I just read this and it is heartbreaking. I can’t imagine working on something that you feel is as close to you as your own children just to have it stripped away like this. I really hope she can find the inspiration to continue… I really want to read the incomplete version, but I feel like I shouldn’t even do that with Stephenie’s permission since it is not how she originally inteded it to be read.
Stephenie - You are a great writer and I completely support your decisions. I hope that you can continue with this book for the purpose of completing it for yourself.

UGHHH, i am so upset.
i can’t imagine what it would feel like to be in your shoes though….
i’m going to go ahead and say i hope, HOPE HOPE HOPE, she finds the motive to continue, -i cant even grasp the fact it’s not coming out..

and now, to read the chapters or not? I feel like i cant, to read an unfinished book….
I’ve only read an unfinnished book once and it was because the author died…
I feel if there is ANY chance she’ll finnish the book, that i just can’t read the chapters now.

i am distraught.

OMFG! what the hell?!?! this is SOOO beyound messed up!!! i cant believe this….i dont want to believe this…i think i just sunk into depressen…:’( its just horrible that some one smeyer trusted would do such a terrible thing to her!…and her fans…i completely understand she needs time to even think about writing MS…but i want her to SOOO BAD!!! i personally have not read the leak…and i have not decided if i even am going to after this horrible deppressing thing….:’( *crys*

DANG ITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!
this is too much of a bad news in a day!
to much to handle!!!
i can’t handle the pain!!
i’m dyinggggggggggggg!!!
i’m so depressed!

this is the most heartbreaking article that i have read in the 17 years of my life!! except for edward and bella’s break up scene!!

NO NO NO NO NO she has to finish it ………….PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE………true fans should not have to suffer because some idiot put it online………………..this is so unfair…………..i will be so PISSED OFF and HEARTBROKEN…………..if it is not finished….tear

I am really sad right now…. I was looking forward to this book and the completion of the twilight saga.

Hopefully she’ll be able to move past this and publish the story anyways. HOPEFULLY!!!!

Stephenie, your books have given me an inner peace. Be happy and rest, be with your family and maybe later….. you can give us a little more of Edward, because many of us do not have an Edward in our lives.

You know i’ve been thinking, and anyone who reads this tell me if you agree, it goes along with what marie said, about finnishing it for herself. (not that ALL of us aren’t dying to read this book, that from the second we heard of it we were hooked, and especially since finnishing breaking dawn we havent been obsessed with the idea it was coming.)

But no. It’s terrible to be betrayed by a friend, TERRIBLE. I’ve had it happen to me, and NOT on an international scale, involveing SO MANY PEOPLE. and mine hurt. However, what i’m getting at, is that through life people will put you down, and hurt you.. but you can never let it stop you from doing what you love. As marie put it, something as close to her as her children.. well, we all know she still loves twilight, and that midnight sun was loved, and if she loved it… i hope she can find the strength to continue what she loved. You can’t let people cut you down. But i do understand the hurt, and i hope with time it eases.. and i do hope, as sttated before, that she’s able to finnish the book.

i suppose thats it, for now.

I can’t believe this!!!!!!! I am so mad right now I would like to hunt down the person she “trusted” and do exactly what Edward did to Victoria..rip them limb for limb!!!! Seriously why let someone like that win though..you have so many devoted fans and that fan base gets bigger everyday..to let this ‘loser’ stop you from delivering something every one of your fans was craving like a drug is CRAZY!!!!! I read the post of Midnight Sun that SM put on her web page about a month ago..the one she WANTED us to read and it was sooooo good, it was one of the reasons I went and bought the WHOLE series. I resisted asking people about the leaked one because I like to wait for the final product from the AUTHOR and I can’t believe that we may not get it now..it is so dissapointing to all the people out ther who are so very loyal to her and it is frustrating to feel punished for soemthing we didn’t do. Please finish this wonderful book and don’t let this person win…I know your family and your fans would support you to the end and we want you to be happy with the project but please don’t abandon Edward’s thoughts and leave us faithful ones hanging onto what little piece of him you gave us LEGALLY.

this does suck, not only for us but for Stephenie too, I really hope she comes here and reads that we love what she has started and she gets back into writing the book. I can understand why she would want to put it aside for alittle, to calm down, but i really hope shes gets midnight sun into a book. her writing is amazing, I read the twiligth series in a week, thats never happend before, even when I read harry potter … Stephenie if you read this, we love your work and you should continue to write Edwards story, not just for your fans but for edward himself. and you should let anyone read it till your done!!!

Does anyone know where we can send letters to Stephenie?

No, I don’t know where we could send letters to her, but I would love to do that.

please write more we’re all sorry!!!!!

Really I mean, this actually lowers my opnion of her. She is punishing all of us for something only a handful of people did? I didn’t read it and now I am tempted too, because that is all I will get. This is nonsense and very juvenile of Stephenie to do. She might as well stomp her foot on the ground and stick her tongue out like a six year old who doesn’t get her way.
I am disgusted by this letter…way to treat your loyal fans Stephenie.

Oh my god. I can’t believe this! This is just awful! I….I’m speachless.

Guys…she’s pissed. Give her some space! I don’t blame her for threatening to stop MS. Some jerk just ruined it for her, and tons of her fans. More than likely, she will publish sometime in the future.

She’s pissed so she takes it out on her fans? Those of us who stay away from temptation like Midnight sun and Breaking Dawn when it first came out? So what is this going to do now? People will just download the copy that is floating around because we will never see anything better then that? I mean, I guess I should go download it right? If its the only copy I am going to get?
She needed to cool down and think a little more rationally before she went and posted this letter to her fans….who support her.

NO!!!! What now? What book is gonna come out now?

She gives a copy of it on her website now. She realizes that some fans want to read the 12 leaked chapters.

Also, there isn’t any way to contact her…this is from her website.

For those of you hoping to find an email address or a way to contact Stephenie — I apologize. There is currently no way for fans to get in contact with her. Stephenie is still much too busy to re-open her fan email or snail mail addresses. Also, I cannot forward emails. She is in the process of writing/editing multiple books, and I think we can all agree that we would rather that she spends her time writing instead of reading thousands of emails every day.

Bummer…

I am heart broken. Reading that chapter about Edward gave me a new excitement towards these books. I have read the other 4 about 3 times each and always wondered about Edward and how he went from one extreme to the other when it came to Bella. I hope and pray that Stephenie finishes the book b/c I would hate to have it unfinished. I do understand her pain and anger. Any type of mood can change a book. I used to write a little for fun and now that my life is changed I can no longer write the same way again. My prayers are with Stephenie as she works thru this heartbreak and I hope that one day she does finish the book b/c her books are the BEST I have EVER read!!!!!!

This is soo sad. I cna’t believe that someone would do this. Especialy someone who was trusted by Stephenie. I feel horrible for her. I mean, I could never imagine having my trust betrayed like that. This is horrible, for all the fans, like myself, who were eagerly awaiting this book. But more importantly, to Stephenie. And I feel terrible.
I know that she has posted the partial draft of Breaking Dawn on her website but I don’t think I will read it. I couldn’t read it knowing the despair that it has brought so many people. But I do hope it’s good, I mean, it’s Stephenie, of course it’s amazing in every way.
This is soooooooo sad….I can’t believe it

we should start a petition or something to get sm more jazzed up about how much her fans care for her or something.

i am heart broken. i can’t even describe it. i read the first chapter and it was wonderful. i am most intrigued about how edward feels about everything that happens in twilight. i really hope that sm can eventually feel better about this and keep writing. i mean, i completely understand how she’s feeling, but she shouldnt be let down, because even though someone betrayed her and put 12 chapters online, her fans still love her and want to not only read the whole, finished product but also own a copy of the beloved text. So lets all hope for the best here. Twilight is the world to me and i hope she continues writing. Otherwise i dont know what i’m going to do with my life. : (

I agree with everyone here, I WISH we could write her and let her know we don’t want to read some stupid manuscript that is incomplete! We want to read the whole thing, from her hand only!
I mean great, way to make it available to the public. And for those of us who still don’t want to read it because its incomplete….we get nothing but “thanks for all your support?” I am just so upset because she has crumpled my respect for her. Tons of authors have their stuff leaked, and they don’t pull out of their project entirely, punishing those who did nothing. So that’s just great, we are at a dead end! I’m starting to wish I never got in to Twilight to begin with. I have been waiting for Midnight Sun forever and nothing will come of it. I think Stephenie has hurt more fans then the one person who has hurt her.

Sorry to double post, I wish I could edit my about post!
But I agree with what people are saying above:

LETS BOYCOTT the manuscript, don’t download it off her site! This way she will know its NOT what most of us want!
Its a great idea!

I’ll admit that I heard that one of my friends had a copy of the 12 chapters and I asked her to send it to me thinking it was Stephenie who had leaked it for fun. I received the email with it attached… weird thing is I didnt have the urge to actually download and read it. It has been sitting in my email since I got it. I feel horrible for even asking for it :*(

I wont be reading it unless I can go buy it at a bookstore.. at midnight. I hope she changes her mind

Poor Steph

“Edward can read our minds, please let us read his!”

I am sad, angry, frustrated and often on the brink of tears that Midnight Sun might never get written but I do understand the anger and frustration that Stephanie too must feel and we must consider that. I think the best thing we can do is show her our support for all her stories including Midnight Sun. We need to let her see that no matter what we will always be fans and we can be patient if need be.

This is truely terrible news. My heart just completely sank when I read this. I feel so awful for Stephenie, that someone she trusted so well could do this to her. I can only imagine how she must feel. I am going to pray so hard that she decides to continue writing Midnight Sun and that she decides to publish it. I am completely heart broken.

I read the 1st chapter, and I loved it! I thought it was going to be almost as good, if not, just as good, as Twilight. For her to deprive all of her fans of this great work of writing is a shame.

I will not read those 12 chapters knowing that there is a possibility of not ever being able to read the rest. It will make me too sad.

Let’s hope she changes her mind, because she’ll upset A LOT of fans.

when i left a few hours ago, i went to my room, curled up in a ball, and cried. then i spread the news.

nice comeback, menolly.

by a lot, courtney, i think you mean about 99%. i see maybe one post saying that the person is happy there is no midnight sun, for possibly ever.

Thanks for the mention earlier xxjasperxx! Awh! I’m completely heartbroken…..

anytime. i think we’re all heartbroken. i know i am

Come on, guys. I want to let Stephenie know that we love and support her, and we’re going to wait for the real version of Midnight Sun to be published. Please join with me and sign this petition:

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/midnight_sun/

I for one refuse to read the posted pages of Midnight Sun! I cannot read something that isn’t finished… It will eat me alive to be stuck with no end knowing that there could have been. I will wait until Midnight Sun is published! It has got to get published!! My whole day is ruined since I got this news!

I didn’t even know someone published like that… Whoever did, is sick and in my eyes, is not a Twilighter! poor Stephenie…. =….( I shall forever weep over not having Midnight Sun until she reconsiders. PLEASE Stephenie, we need you!

-Justine

And it is so unfortunate and unfair that none of us have a way to to fight this. To write and let her know that this is unacceptable, and we will not read those chapters until they are completed with the rest of the book. To let her know that we are heartbroken and hurt by this just as much as she is, but that we don’t give up as easily as she has. And finally to let her know that we understand that she is upset, but we will continue supporting her, and that we want Midnight Sun only when it is finished and released by her.

I can’t believe this. WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS TO STEPHENIE!?!??!?!? she said if she kept writing, james would kill all the cullens. stephenie would never let that happen. this is what these jerks have done to her. I wish she would keep writing. I refuse to read the manuscript! it’s not how she wanted us to read it. Nobody read it for steph.

There are no words for this.

That so totally sucks! I was really really looking forward to midnight sun.

I wanted to wait for the original version, the published version. I’ve not even read the first chapter that she posted on her own website because I wanted the entire experience once it was ready to be heard(read)… I am really and truly heart broken over this and I hope that there is some way for Stephanie to let the true goodness in herself and all of us fans win out over the dishonesty in this world… If the dishonesty is able to bring about this kind of heart ache isn’t that like letting James win?

i couldnt resist. midnight sun was right there, callig me…. i had to!!!! guys she’s letting us read the leaked copy. one site with a petition will hardly matter. maybe it will make her a little better, but enough to finish the story correctly? i dunno….

crisajocullen, i think its more like letting the hp fans win. telling them that SM won’t finish midnight sun. they wouldnt understand us, all the heartbroken fans. they’d just sneer and laugh and say ‘we told you harry potter would prevail’

really though, i couldnt say no to midnight sun. i really am sorry that i read it. i didnt know that all this would happen, and i wish i could honestly say that i had never read it.

I just feel horrible! I know that everyone wanted to read Midnight Sun, including me, and couldn’t wait to actually hear it from Edward’s point of view. But why can’t people have the respect and the decency to wait and be patient and not ruin it for other huge fans. I hope that Stephenie will be able to return to writing/finishing it. She is a wonderful creative writer and I feel horrible that her confidence was betrayed. I wish her the best with spending her much needed time off with her family and maybe down the road she’ll and give us, her devoted fans, Edward back.

you guys are making me feel so guilty, worse off than i already am. i think im going to go for a bike ride

It really isn’t fair… I didn’t saw that coming. I was quite surprised with her post, not only about her decision, but mostly about the way she wrote it. One can tell she’s angry, but it felt a bit mean, like she was punishing someone.
I was very anxious to read Midnight Sun, I find Edward’s perspective a lot more interesting; I must have read the 1st chapter a dozen times now . I would read everything again, from Twilight to Breaking Dawn, from his point of view. It just seems so must intense! I really hope she chenges her mind, it’s not right for her to punish her fans, when she knows who betrayed her.

Thanks XXJasperXX I wish there was something more to be done but I think we have to give SM some time to recover. Hopefully she doesn’t run on vampire time. I can’t possibly wait a century or two.

I’m devestated, heartbroken and I cried when I read this. I was so looking forward to reading Twilight from Edwards perspective.

i’m so depressed.
miserable actually.
please write the book?
please finish it?
please?
i want that book so much.

I feel like we’re being punished for other people’s meanness. WWED (What Would Edward Do)? They would act against the violators, and protect the innocent. Those of us who are holding our breath and waiting for Edward’s point of view are innocent!!! Please, please, please finish the project….

This has to be one of the saddest days in the Twilight fandom. I am completely emotionless, and very sad that on of my favorite series is not going to be completed. My heart definatlly goes out to stephenie, especially since those who did read the leaked copy is criticizing her rough draft. Midnight sun wasn’t supposed to be experienced this way, and it is truly a shame that this happened. I hope that someday Stephenie will find it in her heart to continue, even though this happened. All I can say is I wish this never happened.

=[[

i cant believe this! :’( i makes me wanna cry…. stephanie, plz write it……i really really want this book. i wanted it more than breaking dawn and i thought that first chapter was AMAZING!!! plz ignore the horrible people who did this 2 u and write this EXCELLENT(im sure it will b book. U CAN DOO IT, I KNOW U CAN!!! peace from ur big fan~~~~~Emily

this is seriously the worst day of my life. i can’t belive she won’t finish the book!!! i am totally depressed and haven’t talked to really anyone since i found out, i just cried.

two things mary. first, i read the leaked copy before all this and it rocked. i will not criticize it, seeing as it was much more interesting than twilight. second, you said that you are emotionless and sad. it makes no sense.

what am i being thanked for, menolly?

I think we need to create a site with a petition, or even better we should create a project and send it to her… showing all of our devotion, and our love. So that even though this is a tough time for her, we can help her realize that not everyone is cruel in this world, and her true fans will always stand beside her. Any thoughts?

i just noticed the midnigh sun thing under ‘what’s up?’ i like it, but no one is ever gonna let us forget that midnight sun may never happen, are they?

there already is a petition. and how do you plan on getting her this project?

XXJasperXX, you said I had a nice comeback…it was wayyyyy up . This is a fast growing board, a very sad board. I wish SM could see all the supporters she has here. Maybe she wouldn’t be so down.

menolly,
your welcome. we’re gonna have 200 comments here by tomorrow, i bet. and it’s all ‘dont give up, we want midnight sun, i didnt do it’ comments. makes me sadder.

NO!!!!!! WE NEED MIDINIGHT SUN!!!!
we need to get everyone to sign their name and send it to her email lk 200 times to show her how many supporters she has!!!!

my 4 year old cousin wants to play with me and i cant bring myself to smile at him. i gotta go.

You feel sad because you read the chapters Jasper?

i feel bad because of what happened when the chapters were leaked. and now from what some people are saying, it’s making me feel really bad cause i read them.

Don’t feel bad Jasper, who could have known it would end this badly. You are not alone in reading them. We have a weakness for anything Twilight and Edwards thoughts completely dazzled us. We have to have hope, somehow that it will be alright.

thanks. she did say indefinately, which doesnt mean never.
like my improved name?
i’m still here cause my cousin is in time out for bugging me.

k i have an idea to get the petition up and running. please contact this sight with this email:

subject: midnight sun petition

body:

can you guys make a project to get people who support stephenie to submit their names and the reason we think she should continue midnight sun? it makes everyone so depressed that shes not continuing it. after we get lk 300 people or something we could send her emails. every body could copy it and send it to her individually so she has to read it. PLEASE do this. we need her to finish midnight sun. im sure you guys feel the same.

who do we send it to? an email address or what?

I’m just so sad, it is after 2am in the morning here in Australia and I have been crying, I can’t sleep. I’m so devestated. To have known what Edward thought when they were doing the biology experiment, when he rescued her in Port Angeles, the meadow, saving her from James, the Prom. I would also have loved to know more about the Cullens.

I truly do understand the Stephenie is upset but I feel like Twilight fans are being punished due to one persons stupidity.

nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! u’ve got ot be freaken kiddin me!!!! i cant believe it! why should the fandom the suffer becasue of one person! i havent even read it! aaawww im soooosad!

Lots of people here are saying that it’s unfair of stephenie meyer to punish us but if you read her letter you’ll see that the reason she can’t finish is because she’s devestated with the knowledge that so many people have betrayed her and knowing that her fans aren’t experiencing midnight sun in the right way. Midnight sun won’t turn out the same
If it is finished. whoever stole the manuscript has ruined it. We can’t expect Steph to continue to write Midnight sun
when her feelings are hurt. it’s just selfish. I love SM too so I will respect her decision no matter how much I wish
this never happened and I will not read the manuscript either. these comments would probably make her feel worse
if she read them so stop blaming her.

i have, like others, become obsessed with the series, and want nothing more than to read Edwards side!!!! :’(

STEPHENIE MEYER, IF YOU EVER READ THIS JUST PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF YOUR FANS OUT THERE THAT FEEL TERRIBLE FOR READING THE ILLEGAL TRANSCRIPT OF MIDNIGHT SUN. I WILL SAY THAT I READ IT AFTER YOU POSTED THE NOTICE ON YOUR WEBSITE. I NEVER KNEW THAT THE TRANSCRIPT HAD BEEN POSTED ILLEGALLY. BUT please RECONSIDER CONTINUING MIDNIGHT SUN. YOUR BOOKS ARE MY WORLD. ALL WE TWILIGHTERS HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO IS THE TWILIGHT MOVIE. MIDNIGHT SUN WOULD BE A PERFECT BONUS TO THE SERIES. STEPHENIE MEYER, PLEASE PLEASE RECONSIDER. WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE A LIFE AND FAMILY THAT YOU LOVE AND WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH. PICK YOURSELF BACK UP, AND NEVER GIVE UP. IF YOU DECIDE TO WORK ON IT ONCE MORE, PLEASE SEND US A MESSAGE IN ANYWAY YOU CAN TO TELL US THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER CONTINUING MIDNIGHT SUN. thank you Stephenie for the Twilight Series. God only knows what i’ll be without it.

jennifer, not many people are blaming her. blaming the person who put it on the internet, sure. we are just trying to get her to continue writing midnight sun and telling her that we are major fans. i’m apoligizing for reading the leak. how will that make her feel worse?

lol it’s raining. the sky is crying to and it wont stop til tomorrow. SM PLEASE!!!!!

Leesa, I agree with you 100%

We do not blame SM Jennifer I, we are all just very upset about the whole thing as we know SM is too. Some are lashing out at her but its not intentional. They are just responding in any way they know, that is how devastating this is to everyone. We love Stephanie and wish to support her in her sadness, but sometimes its hard to overcome our own to reach out to others. Most here feel as Bella did When Edward left…its hard to overcome that.

yeah, menolly. we all lost what our world revolves around, what we love most. no joke i am dead serious.

amy, who is leesa?

what a sad day…maybe in a few months she might sit down and write a chapter of midnight sun and decide to continue with it…she didn’t say she would never write it just that it is on hold…if we can show her that we support her and that we really want the book she may write it…right now she probably feels like the book has been tainted…it will take a while for her to get over that feeling. Once the movie comes out things might change…all we can do is try to keep the hope alive

She should not be worried about her work on those chapters, just the first one was amazing. I think if she continued them and I hope she does, that the book would be just as amazing as if those chapters had never been leaked. She just needs to recover and have confidence again that her work on Midnight Sun is amazing and every Twilight fan will love it. She can continue it, she just needs support and the knowledge that we all care immensely.

Here, here, Ali. and yes Jasper, the Twilight saga has been a guiding light for me and with this happening, my confidence in my chosen course is seriously shaken. If we didn’t have the movie coming up, I would be totally lost. Twilight has been a huge part of my life and this has hit me very hard.

the thing is everyone seemed to really like Midnight Sun and after Breaking Dawn you think she would at least be happy that everyone liked MS. I loved Breaking Dawn by the way. I’m so devestated that I will not know Edwards thoughts on some of the most important bits of Twilight esp meadow and the fight with James.
I was a little shocked when she said she would kill the cullens off if she wrote MS now. Please do not give up Steph

oh my gosh… i cannot believe this… i am crying my eyes out right now. i can’t even see the stupid computer screen. my heart is offically broken =[ at this moment in time, im sick to my stomach, horribly heartbroken, and so beyond frustrated and pissed its unbelieveable. if your reading this Stephenie, please, please know that i feel so, so sorry for you. i can’t belive what a rotten person they are. how could they even THINK about doing this to stephenie? do they not know how much pain she is truly in because of this? that person might want to go run out in front of an 18 wheeler before i come after them. this person has broken almost, and probably ALL twilight fan’s hearts. this is truly the most saddest time in my life. if Stephenie doesn’t continue to write Midnight Sun i will understand… i just won’t know how to survive….. the twilight series is my life. i really hoped for a fifth book to put with my series on my favorite bookself and now that probably will never, ever happen…

my mind is just going round and round at the moment, from shock to disbelief and even anger, I’m not angry with Stephenie just angry that Edwards story might never get told.

Menolly, if the movie wasn’t coming out I would be lost too, I’m looking at you tube at the moment

when i read the artical on Stephinies website about midnight sun, i was more mad then sad. like i understand that shes not going to write it cause shes sad, but she said indefinatly wich means never. i mean like shes acting kinda like a baby to put it on hold for ever. like there is some people, like me, who never read the leaked copy even though they were temped to cause they didnt want to ruin it. idk i think that Stephinie made it sound like it was worse then it is, and to put it the leaked copy up on her own site! some part of me acually thinks that she put it up on the internet cause she didnt want to finish it, so whats a better escuse then this. and i know some of you are probably mad at me but im intitled to my own opinion.

I am SADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, can’t she just write it anyway? She knows whats gonna happen, please, just write it!!!!!

does anyone know an email address or something to contact steph

indefinitely…
indefinitely?
no…
please no.
please please please no!
=’[ =’[ =’[ =’[ =’[ =’[
this cannot be happening!
i won’t be able to live knowing Midnight Sun isn’t coming out next year!
please no!!
i feel sooo upset for Stephenie.
we can’t even begin to imagine how devastated she probably is right now.
this is most definitely worse for her than it is for us.
i can’t believe this.
i’ll be grieving for weeks..

im just really upset…maybe she feels overwhelmed after the reastion to Breaking Dawn maybe this was just too much.
If she can just take a break for a few months wait until the movie comes out maybe she will change her mind. All she needs is one moment of inspiration to start writing it again…maybe the movie will do that

meh..–_– the day has gotten dark for me…. clouds over my head…..=’/

No, no, no!!!!! This cannot be happening. I understand where Stephenie is coming from, but why should we all be punished for someone else’s mistake. I never read any of the illegal stuff. The only places I visit are Steph’s site, twilighters, and MTV (and occasionally youtube, but only through threads). I’ve been looking forward to Midnight Sun since I read the first chapter. In fact, it’s number one on my “To Buy” list, it was even above Breaking Dawn. It totally breaks my heart to never see it finished…I’m praying she’ll overlook the minority who were disloyal, and continue for the majority of fans who are honest and loyal to her work.

yeah. maybe when she sees the sucess of the movie, and how well the offical guide sells, she will come back and finish midnight sun.

twilightisforever, i think the twilight saga is coming to an end. if se doesnt write midnight sun, that will be the end of twilight, the series we love.
