No Midnight Sun =[ Indefinitely
Submit News | Posted by Geo | Categories: Stephenie Meyer


Quote Stephenie Meyer:

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.

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.


by Patricia on August 28 - 9:28 pm PDT

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….


by heart broken on August 28 - 9:28 pm PDT

I have died.


by Debra on August 28 - 9:30 pm PDT

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.


by brittcullen on August 28 - 9:35 pm PDT

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.


by KATE on August 28 - 9:38 pm PDT

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


by ihaveOCD on August 28 - 9:44 pm PDT

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..


by TRACY on August 28 - 9:45 pm PDT

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


by KATE on August 28 - 9:48 pm PDT

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


by Jennifer on August 28 - 9:49 pm PDT

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.


by Gina on August 28 - 9:59 pm PDT

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.


by Desiree on August 28 - 10:00 pm PDT

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.


by kipper on August 28 - 10:03 pm PDT

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.


by mj on August 28 - 10:04 pm PDT

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


by Jennifer on August 28 - 10:05 pm PDT

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!!!!


by Menolly on August 28 - 10:17 pm PDT

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!


by Kasey on August 28 - 10:25 pm PDT

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.


by Lindsey on August 28 - 10:30 pm PDT

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.


by Maddy on August 28 - 10:55 pm PDT

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


by Mary (Cullen) on August 28 - 11:05 pm PDT

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


by CourtneyAZ on August 28 - 11:09 pm PDT

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!


by Menolly on August 28 - 11:21 pm PDT

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.


by Naomi on August 28 - 11:51 pm PDT

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…


by brittcullen on August 28 - 11:57 pm PDT

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.


by Kris on August 29 - 12:54 am PDT

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.


by tina on August 29 - 1:03 am PDT

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


by Lauren on August 29 - 1:06 am PDT

i’m so upset :(


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:11 am PDT

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…


by Leesa on August 29 - 1:12 am PDT

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.


by wvs17 on August 29 - 1:37 am PDT

Well this sucks


by Jaime on August 29 - 1:37 am PDT

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!


by Alicia on August 29 - 2:36 am PDT

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.


by Oleander on August 29 - 3:03 am PDT

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.


by Caroline on August 29 - 3:12 am PDT

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


by Charlotte on August 29 - 3:16 am PDT

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


by Nisaa on August 29 - 3:46 am PDT

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


by Pricilla on August 29 - 3:57 am PDT

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


by abby on August 29 - 4:10 am PDT

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!


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 4:36 am PDT

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


by Jen on August 29 - 4:38 am PDT

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

I cant wait for Midnight Sun!


by Amber on August 29 - 4:39 am PDT

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….


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 4:39 am PDT

IT WONT HAPPEN

glad to see you’re taking it well


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 4:40 am PDT

to jen, btw


by Cull3N_v@mPz on August 29 - 4:42 am PDT

kill me now!


by Cull3N_v@mPz on August 29 - 4:43 am PDT

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


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 4:45 am PDT

thats my point


by donna on August 29 - 4:54 am PDT

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


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 5:00 am PDT

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!!


by Alice Long - wants to be Cullen on August 29 - 5:01 am PDT

at a loss for words here and im crying.


by Jinxx on August 29 - 5:05 am PDT

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 :-)


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 5:07 am PDT

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.


by Winnie on August 29 - 5:07 am PDT

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!


by sad fan on August 29 - 5:11 am PDT

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.


by Nutty4Twilight on August 29 - 5:16 am PDT

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!


by Mellie on August 29 - 5:19 am PDT

This is sad…i’m sad =(


by Aurelie on August 29 - 5:19 am PDT

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


by AJ on August 29 - 5:20 am PDT

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


by Nutty4Twilight on August 29 - 5:24 am PDT

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!


by Gaby on August 29 - 5:29 am PDT

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. =[


by so sad.... on August 29 - 5:35 am PDT

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


by Keri, Tampa FL on August 29 - 5:35 am PDT

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. : (


by Marie on August 29 - 5:37 am PDT

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.


by Michelle on August 29 - 5:45 am PDT

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.


by Kelly on August 29 - 5:50 am PDT

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*


by alyanna on August 29 - 5:53 am PDT

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!


by alyanna on August 29 - 5:55 am PDT

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!!


by Jessabell on August 29 - 5:56 am PDT

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


by Jennifer on August 29 - 5:56 am PDT

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!!!!


by GDLily on August 29 - 6:10 am PDT

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.


by Michelle on August 29 - 6:17 am PDT

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.


by Ella26 on August 29 - 6:17 am PDT

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.


by jaxama on August 29 - 6:51 am PDT

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!!!


by claire on August 29 - 6:53 am PDT

Does anyone know where we can send letters to Stephenie?


by Nutty4Twilight on August 29 - 6:58 am PDT

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


by sam on August 29 - 7:00 am PDT

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


by Scarysecrets on August 29 - 7:03 am PDT

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.


by Rachael on August 29 - 7:03 am PDT

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


by Dana on August 29 - 7:09 am PDT

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.


by Scarysecrets on August 29 - 7:16 am PDT

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.


by mary on August 29 - 7:19 am PDT

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


by Nutty4Twilight on August 29 - 7:20 am PDT

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…


by Stephanie on August 29 - 7:23 am PDT

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!!!!!!


by Morgan on August 29 - 7:26 am PDT

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 :(


by alex on August 29 - 7:28 am PDT

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. : (


by Scarysecrets on August 29 - 7:30 am PDT

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.


by Scarysecrets on August 29 - 7:39 am PDT

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!


by Danielle on August 29 - 7:48 am PDT

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 :(


by Jessica on August 29 - 8:22 am PDT

Poor Steph :(


by Menolly on August 29 - 8:25 am PDT

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


by Menolly on August 29 - 8:34 am PDT

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.


by Courtney on August 29 - 8:36 am PDT

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.


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 8:41 am PDT

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.


by Niamh on August 29 - 8:42 am PDT

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


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 8:44 am PDT

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


by Jill on August 29 - 8:56 am PDT

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/


by Jessica on August 29 - 8:57 am PDT

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! :(


by Justine Cullen on August 29 - 8:59 am PDT

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


by Scarysecrets on August 29 - 9:02 am PDT

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.


by Linney on August 29 - 9:05 am PDT

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.


by Kayla Cullen on August 29 - 9:23 am PDT

There are no words for this. :(


by Gretchen on August 29 - 9:31 am PDT

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


by CrisaJoCullen on August 29 - 9:33 am PDT

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?


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 9:33 am PDT

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….


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 9:38 am PDT

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.


by Liz on August 29 - 9:42 am PDT

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.


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 9:44 am PDT

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


by Sophia on August 29 - 9:46 am PDT

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.


by Menolly on August 29 - 9:50 am PDT

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.


by Ali on August 29 - 9:51 am PDT

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


by Sophia on August 29 - 9:53 am PDT

by depressssssed on August 29 - 9:56 am PDT

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


by DistractedbyDazzle on August 29 - 10:00 am PDT

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….


by Mary =[ on August 29 - 10:01 am PDT

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.

=[[


by Down-In-Da-Dumps on August 29 - 10:04 am PDT

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


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:10 am PDT

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?


by Mary =[ on August 29 - 10:13 am PDT

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?


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:13 am PDT

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?


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:14 am PDT

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


by Menolly on August 29 - 10:18 am PDT

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.


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:20 am PDT

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.


by liz on August 29 - 10:21 am PDT

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!!!!


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:22 am PDT

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


by Menolly on August 29 - 10:23 am PDT

You feel sad because you read the chapters Jasper?


by xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:25 am PDT

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.


by Menolly on August 29 - 10:30 am PDT

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.


by the heartbroken xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:32 am PDT

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.


by liz on August 29 - 10:35 am PDT

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.


by the heartbroken xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:38 am PDT

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


by Ali on August 29 - 10:38 am PDT

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.


by Kaleigh on August 29 - 10:39 am PDT

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!


by Jennifer I. on August 29 - 10:40 am PDT

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.


by .Cris. on August 29 - 10:40 am PDT

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


by megan loves Edward on August 29 - 10:44 am PDT

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.


by the heartbroken xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:44 am PDT

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?


by the heartbroken xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:47 am PDT

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


by amy on August 29 - 10:49 am PDT

Leesa, I agree with you 100%


by Menolly on August 29 - 10:51 am PDT

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.


by the heartbroken xxjasperxx on August 29 - 10:54 am PDT

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

amy, who is leesa?


by Ali on August 29 - 10:55 am PDT

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


by Menolly on August 29 - 11:02 am PDT

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.


by Menolly on August 29 - 11:09 am PDT

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.


by Ali on August 29 - 11:11 am PDT

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


by Brianna on August 29 - 11:13 am PDT

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…


by Ali on August 29 - 11:15 am PDT

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


by Rachel on August 29 - 11:19 am PDT

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.


by Jess on August 29 - 11:23 am PDT

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


by Ali on August 29 - 11:30 am PDT

does anyone know an email address or something to contact steph


by TwilightIsForever on August 29 - 11:34 am PDT

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..


by Ali on August 29 - 11:38 am PDT

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


by Rocio on August 29 - 11:39 am PDT

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


by Stephenie B on August 29 - 11:42 am PDT

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.


by the heartbroken xxjasperxx on August 29 - 11:44 am PDT

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.


by Lyn on August 29 - 11:44 am PDT

The person who did this should have just as well slept with her husband or given crack to her boys.


by Ali on August 29 - 11:46 am PDT

i think the problem too is that she used the word ‘indefinitely’ and we don’t know how to take that. Does it mean never or does it mean eventually she will get back to it? It is one of those words that can be taken in different ways. It is like when someone say’s “we will see”. To some people that means no to others it means yes. The only people who know how Steph was using the word indefinitely are those who know her well. More will probably be know over the next few days especially closer to the release of the movie. I imagine that once the media get a hold of this she will be bombarded with questions about MS. So I guess we just have to wait and see what happens over the next few weeks.


by Edwardlover on August 29 - 11:53 am PDT

Well on hold indefinitely should mean (if she means it this way) that she will not write for a while, and she will decide when to write again. I hope she does because it’s VERY good and I am dying for the meadow scene. Or maybe, this could also be a joke to make us more anxious for this book after what people said about Breaking Dawn. Either way, I don’t care, as long as she writes it and publishs it.


by the heartbroken xxjasperxx on August 29 - 11:53 am PDT

ali, does it matter, ali? if she does write it at all it wont be anytime soon. maybe means maybe. she hasnt decided or she doesnt know if she’ll get over the leak enough to write midnight sun the way it was meant to be. she can’t say she will and then let all her fans down if she doesn’t feel up to. if she had posted a definate no, think of how much worse we would be. i don’t think we will find out what she means until after twilight the movie.


by Ali on August 29 - 12:02 pm PDT

yes it does matter, i’m heartbroken that Midnight Sun might not get published. All I have read is the first chapter that was in the back of Twilight.
Some people were confused by Stephs statement, wondering what indefinitely mean’t, I was just trying to help them.


by tara on August 29 - 12:03 pm PDT

oh. my freakin. god. =( you have got to be fn’ kidding me. i’m so pissed off.. i never even read the stuff either. -______-; i wanted to wait until it came out.. i want to kick whoever posted it into a freakin’ hole.


by Ali on August 29 - 12:03 pm PDT

plus I feel very sorry for Steph she must be hurting right now


by Ali on August 29 - 12:04 pm PDT

well said tara

NOOOOO!!!! I don’t want to read a rough draft, I want to know how Edward TRUELY feels, thinks, loves, and this will only come to be from a final book from Mrs. Meyer’s heart . I am devestated. I hope she knows that TRUE fans, true loyal devoted lovers of her work will honor her vision and her vision alone. If it takes years for her to come back to the Twilight Saga, I will be here, as I am sure you all will be as well. I have come to love these characters as if they were my friends, my family. I hope to be reunited with them eventually.


by Courtney on August 29 - 12:16 pm PDT

:( I was really looking forward to reading Midnight Sun and I am so sad! I really hope that Stephanie decides to start writing again because there are a lot of honest, loyal fans out there who really want to hear what Edward’s POV was and I agree with a lot of you and I would love to see an official copy of Midnight Sun next to Twilight on my bookshelf.
Stephanie, There are fans out there who LOVE your work and hope you feel better soon. As for me I’m not going to read that posting I am keeping the hope that there will be an official copy soon that I can sink my teeth into! :D


by Mariel on August 29 - 12:20 pm PDT

I wonder if Robert leaked it lol….
I am so sad it might never get published. It was beyond amazing and for sure the best book of the series. I want to know more about what goes on in Edward’s mind…


by Edward Lover on August 29 - 12:21 pm PDT

I am sooo upset! I dont know what to say! I want Stephenie to write the book soooo bad! I was looking forward to it sooooooo much! I am extremely mad at whoever leaked the book, they should have more respect for her then that. Please whoever did this realize how much this has hurt the fans, and that you disrespected Stephenie


by ilovethepack. on August 29 - 12:21 pm PDT

I feel worse for her than for us twilighters because poor Stephenie is heart broken because someone would do that i am sure..she is probably really sad right now..
i am on page 75 of midnight sun and it is so good ( got it off of HER website) if she were to stop writing it and not getting to the ending i would cry, I feel so sorry for her. I love you stephenie.


by heartbroken on August 29 - 12:22 pm PDT

lets just say that whoever spilled would rather have james kill them. it would seem a nice, fast death compared to what i have in mind.


by Edward Lover on August 29 - 12:24 pm PDT

I just read Winnie’s post and i completly agree. I am shocked and its true, we love to Stephenie!! I am not going to read the draft either.


by wendy on August 29 - 12:25 pm PDT

I’m not sure it will help but its worth a try

by Clover Madison on August 29 - 12:38 pm PDT

*cries*


by Kristina on August 29 - 12:39 pm PDT

OMG. How could someone do this!
Yes, I read the Midnight Sun draft and it was amazing!
Im very disappointed and EXTREAMLY sad, that she might not finish this book!
Ahh! How could one person ruin it for the rest of the world!


by Niamh on August 29 - 12:43 pm PDT

What I don’t understand is the way that people are saying we have to prove our love for Stephanie. Haven’t we proven it in the millions who’ve read her books, the huge amounts of people who go to her signings and who went to Comic Con? Even the fact that some people read the leaks of Midnight Sun shows how much we love her and her world. Some people couldn’t hold on for Midnight Sun, it was just too tempting to have it right there on the net. But Stephanie has to remember how much we, her fans, love her and how much we yearn for Midnight Sun…… She says she loves each one of us too….. I think once she really grasps onto that love she’ll find the rest of Midnight Sun deep down inside. Maybe I’m just clutching on to my last hope but yeah…… Oh and xxjasperxx don’t feel bad!


by Emma on August 29 - 12:46 pm PDT

oh. my. god. that is SOOO wrong. poor steph. that is SO wrong. i cant believe someone would actually do that. its just WRONG. honestly. i just cant believe it. i am going 2 go die/cry/organize an angry mob 2 hunt down that person. actually, person is exceedingly inaccurate. how about “pond scum.” actually, i think that may be 2 kind as well. how about “plague-carrying flea??????” still too kind. i’ll work on it.


by Ali on August 29 - 12:46 pm PDT

i think thats all we have left…hope that she will eventually write it.
I want Edward to have a voice…the thought of not knowing when we would have :(

Maybe when she sees the movie she will be inspired…she is hurt right now…maybe she just needs time…

I’m gonna go back to crying now


by Ali on August 29 - 12:48 pm PDT

maybe at book signing’s people can mention that they really want Midnight Sun??

I think over the next few weeks we will hear more


by Jessi on August 29 - 12:49 pm PDT

What is going on??? This is unfair to the honest Twilight fans that take this very seriously, and it has robbed us of Edward’s voice, and his story. I hope she reconsiders this decision, since I assume she is never touching Midnight Sun to be published now.


by Niamh on August 29 - 12:50 pm PDT

Hmm… we really need to think hard about this (between the tears) but I think Stephanie needs to do a lot of thinking too.


by Lyn on August 29 - 12:50 pm PDT

I think Stephenie posted the whole manuscript so far so that no one could go make changes and say that this is what she wrote. That’s what I would do. I hope she takes it down soon though so I won’t break down and read it!


by Niamh on August 29 - 12:51 pm PDT

I refuse to read it before it’s published….. Even if that means never!


by elizabeth on August 29 - 12:55 pm PDT

look at the blog entry after this one. i posted some of my thoughts.


by Niamh on August 29 - 12:56 pm PDT

Yeah I saw ‘em Elizabeth! I agree!


by Emma on August 29 - 12:57 pm PDT

and there is NO WAY i’m reading the one on her website. i want to read the whole thing completely and edited and perfectly as it should be. i agree, we should boycott it. although that kind of has a negative connotation……….lets just not read it in support of steph.


by Niamh on August 29 - 12:59 pm PDT

Emma, just so’s you know, on the next post we were saying that.


by Ali on August 29 - 12:59 pm PDT

i understand that she is upset, I would be too but to never finish it…wouldn’t that be too hard for her to do…to have an unfinished project


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:00 pm PDT

Yeah, I know! I’m heartbroken to think she has an unfinished project! I don’t think she’s thinking of us fans though. I dunno, maybe I’m just being selfish….


by Emma on August 29 - 1:01 pm PDT

yeah i realized that after i posted it. they hadnt showed up yet when i was typing. then i saw it and i’m like, wow, now i look stupid. but whatever.


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:03 pm PDT

Don’t worry ’bout it!


by Ali on August 29 - 1:03 pm PDT

i understand what everyone is saying about not reading it on stephenies site…but think about it carefully…this might be your only chance to read any of Edwards thoughts…

heres what I’m thinking – I’ve only read the 1st chapt in the back of twilight.

i’m thinking of printing off the version on stephs site…and putting it away and not read it in the hopes that she will publish ms…but if she never publishes it at least i can go back and read her 12 chapts…at least that’s something

but i’m not going to read it, i will only read it if she announces that she will never publish it


by Emma on August 29 - 1:04 pm PDT

yeah, it just kinda shows that theres a whole bunch of fans with the same kinda frame of mind. which is a good thing i guess…………….


by Ali on August 29 - 1:04 pm PDT

this is a very sad day for twilight fans…to be honest if the movie was out today, i don’t know i could see it


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:05 pm PDT

That’s a real good idea, Ali. I think I’ll copy ya!!


by Emma on August 29 - 1:06 pm PDT

thats a good idea ali………….unfortunately i think that the temptation would prove too great and i would end up reading it and getting mad at myself and it would accomplish nothing. but thats just me. i do think its a good idea if that works 4 u =)


by Bella on August 29 - 1:06 pm PDT

I THINK I MIGHT DIE.

OMG noo.. no no *tears fill eyes* no no no! IT CANT BE! THIS HAS TO BE A NIGHTMARE OR SOMETHING!


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:09 pm PDT

Sorry, Bella, I wish it was just a nightmare! And Ali, I think I might just save it on my computer….. Oh I dunno, I might feel really guilty…… This whole thing has me confuzzled!


by Emma on August 29 - 1:10 pm PDT

my mom doesnt seem to realize what a dark day this is 4 twilighters everywhere & is making me go outside. grrrrrrrr…………………>=(


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:11 pm PDT

Wow, it’s past 10pm where I am and it’s pitch dark outside!


by Ali on August 29 - 1:15 pm PDT

it is very confusing, right now I’m in shock, disbelief. I’m hoping that over the next few days she will be interviewed and we will have a better idea of what she is thinking, the word ‘indefinitely’ can be taken so many ways.


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:18 pm PDT

I just feel………… numb! Yup, that’s the right word for it. I don’t feel anything right now. I felt so sad and disappointed all day and now I’m gone past that……..


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:20 pm PDT

OMG
Here in portugal, and all around the world i think, people are dying because of this… including me! ;_;


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:23 pm PDT

Yeah Filipa, I’m from Ireland and I had to break the news to some devastated friends. Twilight has taken the world by storm and now Stephanie has kinda cancelled one of her books! This is a day of world-wide sadness.


by Ali on August 29 - 1:28 pm PDT

im in australia, i should be in bed asleep


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:30 pm PDT

Ditto. My mammy will be ordering me up to bed in a while. I’m staying on here until then. I just wanna see how everyone else feels. I find it’s easier to share our pain.


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:32 pm PDT

Here its 10.32 pm.
I think I won’t sleep for many days ;__;


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:34 pm PDT

I’m afraid nothing can stop me from sleeping! I’m a complete lazy-bones!!! But this news is pretty devastating!


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:36 pm PDT

what kind of person does a thing like this to her?
this is so sad ;__;
if she published the chapters on her website, she’s almost telling us

“Forget this book”

Omg ;__;
sorry about my english
i’m too nervous


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:40 pm PDT

No don’t worry Filipa! Your English is really good. Yeah, it’s like she’s just giving up……. Does anyone think she’s over-reacting with the whole ‘indefinitely’ thing? Fine if she just said she was going to take a break to let this whole thing blow over but to actually quit a book?! It hurts to think she’d do this to the fans she says she loves.


by Ali on August 29 - 1:40 pm PDT

that is true…by putting the 12 chapters on her site she is kinda saything thats it…maybe the best we can hope for is that she will write the remaining chapters and post them online

i should be in bed but i too feel better talking to others about this


by Ali on August 29 - 1:42 pm PDT

oh no I’m so tired im making heaps of spelling mistakes


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:42 pm PDT

well, i’m a young writer, im finnish a book right know… i might understand her feelings. is really sad someone betray you, but we have no fault! she’s ove-reacting… a LOT!


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:43 pm PDT

The more I talk about all this the better I feel! I’m not going to read it. I refuse to read it until it’s published and if Stephanie really cares about her fans she will find it in her to finish Edward’s Twilight!


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:43 pm PDT

we should have a talk together in menssenger or something like that… it’s easier, but we can talk here, if you want


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:43 pm PDT

I’m glad someone agrees with me too Filipa!


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:44 pm PDT

yes, i won’t read it too


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:45 pm PDT

Oh and sorry Filipa, I only barely know how to work the comments on the internet. Technology is not my strong point!


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:46 pm PDT

oh :x sorry
can’t you work with msn? :/


by Ali on August 29 - 1:48 pm PDT

i’m going to say goodnight fellow twilight fans. thanks for listening. this is truly a sad day.

over the next week we should learn more…lets hope that there is still a chance at Edwards story


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:48 pm PDT

With what? Sorry! I really haven’t got a clue!


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:48 pm PDT

Yup! Buh Bye Ali!


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:49 pm PDT

goodnight ali

MSN – Messenger


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:50 pm PDT

Actually, I better head too. Watching Walk The Line (great movie by the way). Bye Twilighters!!! (”,)


by Ali on August 29 - 1:50 pm PDT

awww there you go people. and now she will not continue MS for some time … grrr. i didnt event read the leaked chapters yet…


by Niamh on August 29 - 1:50 pm PDT

Oh yeah sorry I’ve heard of it alright! Okay gotta go! Nighty night!


by Filipa on August 29 - 1:52 pm PDT

Goodnight!


by Maria-M-A on August 29 - 1:53 pm PDT

I am balling right now. i can barely type this. who ever did that should be put in jail!!! if she doesn’t finnish the book i will die. i am one of the biggest fans you will meet. i read the books several times and i am in love with vampires. i am now writing a vampire book of my own. If you read this Stephenie Meyer i beg of you not to stop. you are my hero and the one writer i truly look up to. your work taught me what kind of a writer and think i am. i know this must be hard for you, butyou can’t just give up. what will that tell your readers and crazy fans. keep at it. and we are all here for you.


by Stephanie M on August 29 - 1:56 pm PDT

I am sooooooo upset! I was looking forward to this so much! The first chapter looked soooo interesting I really wanted to finish reading it! I can’t believe what has happened.
I could kill that person that put that up! WAH! ;_;


by Alison (A Vampire) on August 29 - 1:56 pm PDT

Is this really honestly happening?


by jess on August 29 - 2:01 pm PDT

“It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes.”

um, maybe you should look back at breaking dawn…that was flawed, filled with plot holes, and out of character, but you still threatened your publishers and made them print it anyway.
case in point: what’s with the pouting? you have a similar attitude whenever you address the fans who didn’t enjoy BD, as if they’re all 11 yr olds who have never read a book bigger than yours. yes, we have read more complicated, well-written books that you could try studying before you publish another fanfiction-esque novel. we’re not victims of the Rob-effect, we’re victims of the reverse Rob-effect. loved the series before, but hating it now because it (and your originally mediocre writing) has gone on a downward spiral.
but i see that you simply want more attention from rabid fangirls, and as soon as you get enough suicide threats and rivers of tears, you’ll announce the return of midnight sun and become their heroine again.
oh, what desperate people do…


by jess on August 29 - 2:03 pm PDT

huh…i wonder what the fangurls will say once they read what i wrote before…
lulz
kisses!


by MyBeloved on August 29 - 2:11 pm PDT

OME this is HORRIBLE ! ! ! I can’t believe someone would do that. Writing is an emotional thing. It’s hard to take something you’ve written and put it out for the public not knowing if they’ll like it or not, and for someone to just push her work out into the public eye without her knowledge is wrong. I don’t care who the writer is or how good they are, it’s still immoral and rude.


by Nikki on August 29 - 2:11 pm PDT

Worst day ever…i hate the jerks who put it on…stephenie please don’t stop writing this book besides the movie this is like the only thing keeping me going today…:’(


by Angelica on August 29 - 2:25 pm PDT

what those ppl di was beyond horrible


by Krystee on August 29 - 2:33 pm PDT

at first i was like #$^%&$# but then was like yay we get a ruft draft of the book! and then was like indefinately! aww hell!!! this has ruined the twilight world who is the ass hole that ruined our lives? why did they do this now we have to suffer for it and poor stephenie probably feels violated and used!!! i just wish she could finish it for us but she must be so sad and heart broken! i weep for us pore twilighters and how we just have the dumb movie to look forward to! dont get me wrong i dig the movie but i love the books with a passion of a thousand kisses! i would rather have all of midnight sun than the movie!! this person that did this deed is a blasphemer and shall burn in hell for his sins!!! twilighters all around the world would curse his name if we new who it was! damn.. i wish she told us! we could all send hate mail! haha love you guys =)


by cullen#8 on August 29 - 3:02 pm PDT

i hope that person who leaked it is seriously suffering from the consequences.


by the heartbroken xxjasperxx on August 29 - 3:12 pm PDT

maybe a mean email or two from the people who know he/she did it. and the couple thousand death wishes from all those heartbroken fans. i still wanna cry when i read these posts.

agreed krystee!! midnight sun is an original book by SM. the movies were changed from the books. stuff was added and deleted. the movies are not our SM, the author.


by PENNY on August 29 - 3:44 pm PDT

:’(

WHY?????????????????????????????????????????


by emmettlover on August 29 - 4:08 pm PDT

y??????? y r these ppl torturing us?????? cant they just b nice and leave us alone??? poor stephenie is heartbroken!!!!

=[ y ppl?!?!?!?! y?!?!?!?!


by bink on August 29 - 4:11 pm PDT

i cannott beleive they would do that? do they not think of us? or stephenie? i feel really bad for her ii was extremely looking forwardr to midnight sun!


by emmettlover on August 29 - 4:11 pm PDT

they literally RUINED our lives!!! ugh. i am going 2 go die now.


by Sonja on August 29 - 4:16 pm PDT

Not sure if this has been suggested yet but here is my post from another place:

I’d be lying if I said my heart didn’t break into a million pieces when I read this before work. But we the fans need to let Stephanie know that we aren’t going to let those who leaked it win by not reading it even though she posted the draft herself.

I sent that message to Stephanie myself and to my facebook Twilight group. I just don’t want her to give up on us the fans and Edward and Twilight. And promising I won’t read it to her is the only thing I can think of that can be done to give her hope that not all of us are like that.

If it takes her 3 years to 20 years to get over this, I can wait. But I’m not reading that draft till I have Midnight Sun in my hands from a local book dealer and I’ve read it cover to cover. Not a minute sooner.


by Nat Cullen on August 29 - 4:40 pm PDT

OME!!! to all those stupid people who went aganist Stephenie’s wishes and went ahead and read the spoilers!!! should be deeply ashamed of themselves!! :( i cnt believe this utter travesty!!! i totally agree with all those who are supporting Stephenie and not reading any spoilers about Midnight sun untill they can have the finished product within their grasps!!
thanx
xxx


by Erin on August 29 - 4:48 pm PDT

Wow. Just…wow. I can’t even imagine what it must be like for Stephanie to have to deal with the leaking of her book. How heartbreaking for her. After reading the totally compelling first chapter, I have been so anxious to read Midnight Sun. She’s well within her rights to do put this on hold. I can only hope that she gets the inspiration back to finish. But if not, I would understand completely. I’ll wait patiently for Midnight Sun so I can read all of it and put it next to my other books.


by Dania on August 29 - 5:04 pm PDT

We fans should do something for steph. so that she knows we are here for her and we love her very much.

I knew at some point something bad like this would happen.

she soared high in the sky and now she’s down and we fans should help pick her back up, so that she can have the strength to continue writing for not only us but future inspired fans.


by lionluvslamb on August 29 - 5:08 pm PDT

im obsessed without this might not be able to survive…not jk


by lionluvslamb on August 29 - 5:09 pm PDT

I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYY WANT MIDNIGHT SUN 2 COME OUT!!!


by Kristin on August 29 - 5:49 pm PDT

I really hate how some people have to ruin everything for everyone else! I hope midnight sun does get made it’s to good and important to us twilighters, to not be finished would be a shame!


by Aly on August 29 - 6:13 pm PDT

Three words.

Well this sucks.

I already read it in an email from a friend, so the shock is over. Now Im just mad. Who would do something like this to Stephenie Meyer? I know they didn’t intend for any of this to happen at the time, but still.


by amy on August 29 - 6:20 pm PDT

the heartbroken xxjasperxx,

This is a reply to your question, though I don’t think you will see this. Leesa had a really good reply to this whole situation, her response is close to the top.


by Eve on August 29 - 6:24 pm PDT

I’m sooo sad! i vow i will not read the leaked version i want to read it how she meant for it to be read completed and bound….i hope she reconsiders and continues the book.


by kate cullen on August 29 - 6:37 pm PDT

………………………..im literally beyond words. this is so devastating i cant even find it in me to CRY. lefuo74569545r4,gdf.bmfgblnbvbnh.f’;lhpdogpfogpjfoiug9e8toyjtioyh459u8@$$%^@34%^*((*^%%$%$$$%^^^!!!!!! ugh!! ugh!!


by Nikki on August 29 - 6:39 pm PDT

God, that is so lame. That’s practically stealing, reading those chapters online. Eugh. Now they’ve ruined it for the rest of us. Thanks.


by Lydia :( on August 29 - 6:41 pm PDT

*Sob sob* My life is over. This is what i’ve been looking foward to!!! Especially with school now!!! How will I go on!?!?


by -------- on August 29 - 6:42 pm PDT

*boycotting the draft*

this is not what stephenie wanted us to read.


by Lydia :( on August 29 - 6:42 pm PDT

I will ruin those vampire-haters for destroying my life’s blood and stopping the progress on midnight sun!!!!!


by Lydia :( on August 29 - 6:43 pm PDT

THIS IS BAD, VERY BAD!


by beccaboo on August 29 - 7:30 pm PDT

no please stephenie! they true fans wont read it! we want to see the whole story exactly as you want it! :[

we all love you SM


by Claire on August 29 - 7:36 pm PDT

All,

A group (getting rather large) of us have posted letters to SM about this on Twilightersanonymous.com (see below).

The admin on the site will be sending the thread to Seth, Stephenie’s brother who manages her website. Please stop by to read and send your letter to her as well if you wish…thanks.

http://forum.twilightersanonymous.com/index.php/board,48.0.html


by listen up!! on August 29 - 8:01 pm PDT

maybe if many more of us join and not read it then maybe just maybe stephenie will see how much respect and love we have for her and the characters then be inspired to keep writting.


by Miranda on August 29 - 8:25 pm PDT

THIS IS JUST SOOOOO AWFUL AND DEVASTATING!!! THIS IS THE WORSE NEWS I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE TWILIGHT SERIES!! TO FIND OUT THAT MIDNIGHT SUN WAS PUT ON HOLD INDEFINITELY IS A HUGE BLOW!! I WAS LITERALY CRYING WHEN I READ THE POST SHE PUT UP!! I CANT BELIEVE SOMEONE WOULD DO THIS TO STEPHENIE AFTER ALL THE HARD WORK SHE HAS DONE FOR US FANS!! BUT COME ON EVERYONE WE CANT GIVE UP HOPE AND HATE HER!! WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF SOMEONE DID THAT TO A BOOK YOU WERE WRITING YOU WOULD BE FRUSTRATED LIKE SHE SO GIVE HER A BREAK!! I LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU STEPHENIE SO KEEP WRITING DONT GIVE UP!! (sorry about all the caps i was pretty upset)


by Emily on August 29 - 9:04 pm PDT

honestly, i did read the leaked draft when it came out, and it was AMAZING. i’m so sad that she might not finish it, i’ve been a fan since 2005 (when it first came out) and i’ve loved every bit of it ever since. i will be seriously bummed if it doesn’t get written, it would have been a beautiful addition to the series :(


by Nikki on August 29 - 9:20 pm PDT

I’m reading the draft now, and its fantastic… did we really expect anything less!? of course not! Stephanie is amazing. I’m sorry that she feels so betrayed by the leak of the draft, but I think shes doing more harm than good by refusing to finish. Cutting her nose off to spite her face…
I really hope that eventually she comes to terms with this incident and falls back in love with the project the way she has made us all fall in love with the Cullens… hopefully then things will fall back into place…

please? :-)


by jennie on August 29 - 9:43 pm PDT

dear stephenie,

i feel rlly bad about wat happened and if i were to put myself in ur shoes, i would feel the same way ; BETRAYED. anyway i am very srry for wat happened. so to let u kno i rlly hope u choose to continue writing midnight sun. becuz i would be rlly disapointed to see midnight sun not being published and i am guessing so will the rest of ur fans. again i rlly do feel bad and rlly mad at the people who did it.


by jennie on August 29 - 9:44 pm PDT

nikki i agree with u


by jennie on August 29 - 9:45 pm PDT

this sucks


by jennie on August 29 - 9:46 pm PDT

the draft was……. AMAZING. not a shock at all. y would u? its by stephenie meyer!


by Christina on August 29 - 10:05 pm PDT

This is the most depressing thing I have ever read. I refuse to read this draft and hope and pray for the REAL, finalized version of Midnight Sun, as she intended us to read it. I read the first chapter when she put it on her site in the first place and I will leave it at that… You may call me stubborn but I refuse to read this, even if its been given out by her now, because like she said, its not how it was meant to be read. I really hope those who leaked it feel ashamed of themselves. I cant imagine how much sadness and anger this has caused Stephenie…


by dania on August 29 - 10:09 pm PDT

i agree with christina


by Van on August 30 - 12:15 am PDT

let’s commit mass suicide!


by afah on August 30 - 1:25 am PDT

omg.. no no no no no no no.
i really have got to read midnight sun and knw the inside of edward cullen’s mind.

if anyone knws stephenie meyer, can you pls pls pls pls pls pls pls let her knw that it just wont be the same if midnight sun isnt published. ill be forever grateful!! thank you. =)

and i hope stephenie will have a wonderful vacation. she needs it after all the books shes written.


by bell on August 30 - 2:50 am PDT

i wish i can grab that traitor’s head and have emmet smash it into a boulder.

by Niamh on August 30 - 4:13 am PDT

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I refuse to read Midnight Sun until it is published, end of! Oh and has anyone noticed that everyone presumes the person who leaked the manuscript is male?


by Melissa on August 30 - 8:28 am PDT

…WHO EVER PUBLISHED THE 12 CHAPTERS…..

SHOULD PAY.. OR DIE… EITHER ONE WOULD BE NICE.


by Lisa on August 30 - 8:28 am PDT

); Gosh, who in the world did the posting and stuff. Every twilighter is waiting for Midnight Sun and Twilight the movie, what are we going to look forward to now if Midnight Sun is gone? );


by Menolly on August 30 - 8:36 am PDT

As for traitor being male, who knows. I think people are just hoping it wasn’t Rob that allowed it to be leaked. We know he had a copy as he is playing Edward. I think more like it was a rabid female fan who somehow got hold of an original copy, copied it quickly and with no thought to the consequences posted the manuscript hoping to bask in glory for bringing something so coveted to the world. They didn’t stop to think, they didn’t stop to care.


by greyeyedlux on August 30 - 11:49 am PDT

I am just as mad as any of you. I have some things to say about it though. The first being that everyone is blaming the person who leaked it, but what seem to be forgetting is that Stephenie gave it out and from what i read she said that she gave out more than one copy. It’s her fault just as much as it is that person who posted it. If she didn’t want it read than she shouldn’t have given it out. Although I do understand the hurt and betrayal that she feels because she trusted this person.

Secondly, why is she saying she is going to put it off indefinately? i know that that word doesn’t mean no but the message that she left on her board basically made it pretty clear that she had not intention of ever finishing it. Now, I think that this a big letdown to her fans not only because she is punishing all of her loyal fans who didn’t do anything wrong for the mistake and betrayal of one person, but because she made a promise to her fans that it would be finished and she is breaking it. It is her obligation by making that promise to finish the book for us. I think that it hurts her credibility as an author who claims to care about her fans. in this way she is letting us all down for a mistake that was in part hers.

Lastly, when I read her message she said that she was not in the right state of mind. “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.” Now to start out with we all already know how the story goes by this point so no matter how upset she she can’t change that. She would really lose credibility if she completely changed the story. Then there’s the fact that she already knows what Edward was doing and thinking during the whole book. She couldn’t have written Twilight if that wasn’t the case. Most the book was written from the first one anyway. All she has to is write minute thoughts and reactions in some places where the words and story line was already laid out in Twilight. She says that she couldn’t write it in this state of mind, which is fine , but she could just let it pass and then finish it, because it will pass. But either way, I don’t understand her theory of how she couldn’t write him now. She is writing his thoughts and feelings not her own. I think she putting to much stock into the way she is feeling. It’s like she is writing her first story and it is all about her. His thoughts and feelings go along with what he, Edward, is going through in the book. It has nothing to do with what she the writer is going through now especially with the fact that the book is truly already written.

Ok, so maybe that wasn’t the last thought, but this one will be. I honestly just think that she is over-reacting. And another thought occured to me since I read that message. What if Stephenie Meyer never really wanted to finish writing Midnight Sun? It kinda fits right. I have read articles and things where she has been asked about it and everytime she gives you the sense that didn’t really want to do it. She has made comments like “I don’t if I will actually publish it. I might just put it on my website when I finish it” (EW) or “I don’t actually know if I am quite ready to jump right back into the Cullen universe just yet” (B&N Interview). And if she wanted to keep it so under wraps, why did she give out a bunch of copies to her friends, no matter how trustworthy she thought them? And one more thing if she didn’t want us to read the unfinished draft why would she put it up on her website? All she has do is say that the ones released are drafts and say you can read them if you want but I prefer you didn’t. Not everyone read them. I didn’t even know about them. She could have just treated it the way she treated Breaking Dawn. It just seems to me like she was looking for any reason at all not to finish it and this finally gave her the out she was looking for.

I am just so mad! She is being ridiculous and in some she should be happy that she had to write that message. It proves that she has millions of fans who love her characters just as much as she does and want more. I just wish that she would see that and live up to her promises.

I want you finished Midnight Sun!


by amy on August 30 - 1:54 pm PDT

Thank you greyeyedlux
I agree completely.


by Mrs.EdwardCullen on August 30 - 3:37 pm PDT

Wow, i dont even know what to say. This is both a huge suprise and disappointment… I need a minute to collect my thoughts…


by Michelle on August 30 - 5:34 pm PDT

*heart breaks*
ouch. Stephenie is completely right. it’s upsetting that a few people have to ruin it for everyone else. =( darnit


by Christina on August 30 - 7:01 pm PDT

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am freaking out here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutly LOATHE whoever put that copy on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am seriously HEARTBROKEN that this book will NEVER come out.

STUPID TWILIGHT TRAITORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But on a side note, the draft is freakin amazing…..which actually pisses me off more cause now we’ll never know the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


by greyeyedlux on August 30 - 9:46 pm PDT

Am I the only one who thinks that she is being utterly ridiculous and childish. Some people that she made the mistake of giving the partial drafts to posted them on the internet, and that’s our fault? We shouldn’t be able to read it because they did something that she didn’t like? I didn’t even know it was out on the net, and neither did a lot of other people. Why are we blaming the people who posted it? That shouldn’t even matter. We should be blaming her, because she is the one holding the story back from her fans for no reason at all. Honestly i just don’t think she wanted to write it all.


by Amanda M. on August 30 - 10:08 pm PDT

Some people are constantly overreacting to everything that happens in relation to Twilight to get attention or flaunt their “fan-ness”, but I know a lot of people are being honest about their emotions toward this. I am not gonna claim that I’m on anti-depressants now or that I cried all day, but I feel this deep ache of disappointment and I really have been unhappy for the past two days, although I don’t think about it all the time. I am very sad, especially because this was something we didn’t have control over but which affects us still. I hope things turn out better than they seem like they will right now…


by Jessica on August 31 - 9:06 am PDT

This is a time for mourning indeed. I am so upset over this and pray she has a change in heart for her loyal fans. It’s not fair to her but as well for us who have been waiting patiently for the release of Midnight Sun. All twilighters should bombard the traitor who created this scenario!


by Gabriela on August 31 - 9:47 am PDT

i think she has the right to be upset… but doesnt indefinitely hold the novel for way to long? i have been going around websites all over the internet pointing my point of view! it isnt fair that because someone betraied her everyone has to pay…!! I think she should keep going with the novel! i think even shes wondering how midnightsun and edwards POV is going to end up as right!? DONT LET ANYONE OR ANYTHINGGG STOP YOU STEPH!!! remember u got our support! but


by Gabriela on August 31 - 9:48 am PDT

dont let us downn!!!!!!!!


by christie on August 31 - 12:17 pm PDT

this sucks ass.


by oddball on August 31 - 12:42 pm PDT

This is absolutely horrible. I love the twilight books and I am super sad about midnight sun. I have to say, I did read the chapters that steph put on the website, and I loved it, I just hope someday I can read the whole thing. Steph, we love you! Please keep going, we know this was a blow, it was for us too. I love that you want to focus on your family as well, it says a lot about a person, but please publish this book! There are millions and millions of people dedicated to you and your work. These books are incredible! Please share your gift with us by picking up where you left off!


by Stupid_Lamb on August 31 - 1:21 pm PDT

No! Stephenie! PLEASE! Keep writting! People all around the world have been waiting for ever for this book.

(IF YOU HAVENT READ BREAKING DAWN SKIP THIS)
Edward finally saw into Bella’s mind, and now we want to see into HIS.

SUPPORT MIDINGHT SUN!


by Sami on August 31 - 2:01 pm PDT

I think that we all just need to show her how much we care. Although we ALL want to yell at the person who did it and tell Stephenie how much we would love to have Midnight Sun… It won’t help. She needs to make her own decisions. And I’m sure Stephenie wanted to write the book and have it published just as much as we wanted it to happen. Hopefully she’ll feel better very soon! So sorry Stephenie!


by Sami on August 31 - 2:02 pm PDT

Oh and everyone she did say that she was working on some other projects. So let’s be optomistic here… Steph’s not going away for good :)


by Emma on August 31 - 5:56 pm PDT

wow………..since last time i saw this post there r more than a hundred new comments on this. impressive……………

but i cant believe this. seriously. while i can honestly say i agree 100% with some of these posts, i can also say i disagree at least a little bit with others and disagree 100% with others as well. i dont think we should blame steph, i think that we should blame the rat who posted the story all over the internet. i mean, steph trusted him/her, and he/she betrayed that trust. i’ve been betrayed by “friends” before–although not nearly as bad as this–so i can kind of understand, and i’m sure others can too. it makes me sad that this person would do something so low without a thought for how much this would hurt so many people–not only steph, but all her fans waiting rabidly for this book to come out. its not fair to anyone. just so that this person could have 20 minutes of glory for giving fans what they wanted doesnt mean that it will all be well and good forever. basically, i think that steph should take off time as she needs, write some other stuff, and then when she feels comfortable (and the betrayer sends her a nice gift basket as 0.0000000001% of an apology to make it up to her) with the series again, then she can write midnight sun again.

so there are my thoughts, written down after i have calmed down and can think rationally again.

btw, niamh, i live in ohio in the usa, so we’re apparently a few hours apart……….it was only about 5:00 when i was on here last =)


by Lindsey on September 01 - 9:23 am PDT

I have died on the inside. I can’t even describe this feeling in words. We need to support Stephenie!!! She must keep writing!


by greyeyedlux on September 01 - 2:45 pm PDT

See here’s the thing. I feel bad that someone betrayed her, but what just gets under my skin is that just because one person put it out she is taking away the pleasure of reading it from the rest of her fans. That person wasn’t thinking about the fans and nor did they have to, but it is Stephenie’s job to. She should suck it up and fulfill her promise to finish it to her fans. She doesn’t have to do it right away, but she should do it eventually.


by The♥Other♥Cullen on September 01 - 3:09 pm PDT

ARGH! I haven’t read it yet, Stephenie! I refuse to read something that isn’t official. Please continue!


by Jasperlove on September 01 - 4:57 pm PDT

I wish she would not say indefinatly because there are millions of people in this world who love Stephenie and she should not make them pay for what a few people did…I am so sad and mad at Step!!!


by Emilee on September 01 - 5:30 pm PDT

This sucks its not fair that because some people are idiots that the rest of us have to suffer, PLEASE STEPHENIE keep writing Midnight Sun there is still alot of us who didn’t read it and were going to wait for the book to come out. I think that she owes something to those of us who love and respect her, her rights as an author and her wonderful books.


by in love with twilight on September 03 - 6:37 am PDT

i really hope she does not quit! i fell in love with the first book and all that follows! i really hope she keeps on writing! i can’t stop thinking about how beautiful and touching the story is! i <3 twilight 4ever!


by Nicolee on September 03 - 9:28 am PDT

Ugh people are idiots stephenie PLEASE keep writing ! we are all SO EXCITED for Midnight Sun ! I refuse to read the leaked chapters because I wouldn’t want that to happen to the stuff that I’d write .

by Maddie Hale on December 30 - 11:18 am PDT

Stephanie, you need to be strong. I am really sorry, but you are upsetting a lot of your fans. You know how many people are insanely mad over this, and whoever did it must be guilty, so please continue. You are the most amazing writer; my role model! You can’t just not write it… please. This is from every fan you’ve ever had… just please.


by my names sarah=] on January 28 - 6:56 pm PDT
