#26 Stephenie Meyer
Thanks to the success of Meyer’s Twilight series, 2008 became the year of the vampire. The low-profile author sold 29 million books last year, releasing two new novels (Breaking Dawn and The Host) and selling hoards of paperbacks of what have become instant classics (Twilight, Eclipse and New Moon). Last November, gothy fans camped out to catch the first film based on the series; Twilight grossed $70 million opening weekend. A partial rough draft of the fifth Twilight book leaked online last August; Meyer published the full draft on her Web site and announced the book wouldn’t be published.
View the list here.
FIRST! GO STEPH!
Second comment!!! I LOVE U STEPHINE u rock i love ur books and i have read them all in 3days
Congrates Steph !!!! They are great books. Twilight was a great movie and I can’t wait for New Moon in November.
Congrats Stephenie for making the list, I would of placed you in the top 10, but that’s just me. hehe.
REPRESENT!
Awesome!!!! =)
GO STEPH!!!!!! YOU ARE AN AMAZING AUTHOR AND I LUV UR BOOKS, MY WHOLE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats Steph!
yay!go steph!but wait i thought that midnight sun was her next project?whats going on did she say she wasnt going to write it anymore?NOOO!!!!!!!she NEEDS to write it……im super addicted!
*stupid Lamb*Mrs.Cullen*=)*
that sucks that midnight sun isn’t coming out and CONGRATS STEPH!
grr! It says “gothy fans” camped out. Thats sooooo sterotypical against us Twilighters!!!! Im not goth in the least bit but Im the bigest twilight fan in my school! Including the like 50 billion goth people in my school.
no shocker there, with twilight taking over the world im surprised that she isnt higher on the list.
@ jordan, i totally agree with u, “gothy fans” totally stereotyping.
Hi, i’m page, because i love to read. I am in love with the twilight saga. All my freinds hav been talkin about is the saga 4 the whole school year. I cannot believe that stephenie is going to let the jerk who put her book on the internet win! As an amateur author myself i can understand your being upset, but You can’t just give up on the series. This award is proof of the millions of fans that you’ll be letting down. If you can’t tell that your fans are devoted, then look at my name. Open Book, the first chapter in twilight and in Midnight Sun, And 264, the exact number of pages that their are in Midnight sun’s draft. I read the draft. It was amazing! Even though their were probably a few mistakes, it was some of your best work. Don’t give up on the book. So a few people saw it. Rewrite and make it comepletely unbelievable, and totally different. Wow em!
Signed,
P.S. Plus, think of all the jacob lovers who have to be brought to the light!
Apparently she is worth over $140 million dollars. I wish she could let go of the frustration over the initial issue with Midnight Sun being put on the internet and give us loyal fans a break by publishing it.
She made a lot of money,
Well deserved if you ask me.
I totally aggree with open book_page264. The IDOTS WHO STOLE THAT DAMN and GLORIOUS book from Stephanie should prob get torn to shreds by Jacob and his friends
I think it would mean a great deal to the fans and the backstabbers to show that Stephanie is TOTALLY KICK ASS!!! Like the amazing author said before, there is so much detail and story behind Edward that we as fans don’t know. Midnight Sun would not only give another point of view, it would most likely also put some more Twi-Guys into the vampire world. I, like a lot of people already have, am BEGGING you Stephanie. PLEASE PLEASE publish Midnight Sun to show that even the mistreated can overcome the wicked.
ps. sorry for spelling your name wrong Stephenie ; )
CONGRATZ STEPH!!!
man, shes stunning, talented, famous, modest…my idol.
No midnight sun? NOOOO I do hope she makes other books though i like them Congrats to steph well earned (:
i thought oprah was going to win #1…
oh yea back to the subject congrats stephenie!…
so… like cheese?[random]
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! im in love with Midnight Sun!!! (SWOOOON!!!) i wish she wld finish the book for her and not let the pea brains stop her from finishing her project!! I understand the privacy thing but im addicted and cant get enuff. but other then that i love you so much steph you are a great writer and i love all you work (even tho not publishing midnight sun is a let down) but i still got love for you. but im not gonna lie every twilight fan i no was waiting for midnight sun. EDWARD SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO VOICE HIS OPINION!!! SCREW OTHER PPL!!! lol. dont silence him plzzzz!!!! just think about it a lil more. Much Love steph!
I am im the farthest thing from being goth!!!!! maaaannnn! But again dont let us loyal twilight fans down steph…..IM BEGGING HERE!!!!
Oh man I was really looking forward to Midnight Sun. The person who posted it should be locked up immediately!
ok and I just noticed it says ‘gothy fans’ too! that totally bothers me… like, ok, I have only seen maybe twenty goth fans and that was at the midnight premire! Doesnt even count.
Its really starting to bother me cuz in lots of articles, they find one or two words to make Twihards sound bad. Like ‘gothy’ and ‘are only robsessed’. I guess I have been growing out of all the movie stuff/gossip, (books will always be a part of me) but still, my friend is freaking robsessed and they make it sound likes a hormonal teenage disease!
Is anyone else feeling the same way?!
she is selfish for not writing midnight sun and all she cares is that she has millions of dallors now and has no concern of her fans wanting more books . bottom line a bitch
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finish Midnight Sun! i read it like 10 times now and all i want is more more more! its so good! i never shut up about it and i think i’m making my friends mad. its just so damn good that i don’t think ill ever stop re-reading the series!
please let it b true! i want more!
and i also heard that u were going 2 write a book on renesmee’s (if thats how u spell it) point of view 7 yrs l8r. is it true?
Erin I was going to say something along the same lines. She treats her fans horribly and blamed them for something she inadvertently caused. Love her books but don’t like her, but since this is a list based on money earned and magazines you were seen and not on you as a person then I guess she is right where she should be.
Steph doesn’t blame her fans – she is upset at the person who leaked it and she knows exactly who it is. Although I am disappointed midnight sun won’t be coming out its her decision and I think people should respect that.
And also “Gothy Fans” uh hello how rude and stereotypical!
YAY STEPHENIE!!
I luv stephanie . Way to Go!!!!
stephanie hates her fans and all she cares is her millions of dallor . Think about it she took down her my space page . That just tells me she is all about herself with her money and could give a shit about her fans or twilight . So I hope someone new will come out with a greater series and actual write book to the series . And not cry boo hoo someone cause some hacker broke into her computer . Bottom line she doesnt care about her fans to write another book cause she is rich now . Fame got to her .
And she might be a powerful celebrity right now . Just wait until she writes no more twilight books then she will have lost this all . lol
Nooooo! I need that book to be written I’m in tears litteraly rite now. I’m to addicted for her not to finish my life revolves around it. Plzzzzz!!!! I need it !!!!!
theres a fifth twilight book!?OMG. To bad shes not going to publish it i would LOVE to read it wish i could read a tinsy bit even if its just a page
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease please please please please*enfinity please* publish it im a total mess and i love your books and i about cried when i heard you werent gonna to publish it and i would buy like 5 copys if you published it so what if people got a tiny look of what its going to like it just gets them supporting you on the book so you could just keep writing and you deffinetly know how to add detail to your books i literally cried when i read new moon it had that much detail and i so want to know edwards point of view in twilight what kind of pain bella caused him so pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease:(
p.s. u rock
by the way just like i put in every comment i post on twilight i am not kristen stewart i just happen to have the same name as her i honestly think im lucky to have this name
wait it go steph but i am confused is she publishing midnight sun or not cause on her wbsite it says both. someone please leave another comment and danswer this for me.
I TOTALLY LOVED MIDNIGHT SUN! But she should finish it an publish it. Go to http://www.savemidnightsun.com/ to keep midnight sun going!
Congrats Steph! You’re such an amazing author! I really hope that you finish Midnight Sun. I haven’t read the leaked info! I know you didn’t want that out for the public to see so I’m going to be strong and not read it, but omg PLEASE get it published! Ignoring that leak is harder than Edward ignoring the call of Bellas blood!!!!!
ERIN! She does care about her fans and the series! Give her a break! She must be stressed out! How is she supposed to write an incredible story with jerks like you hating on her!
You don’t deserve to call yourself a Twilighter!!!!!!!!
PS. Erin your the one being selfish!
i dont hate her….i hate that shes stopping the project. she has fans that love her and her work…but i feel like shes not thinking of her fans bc if she was then she wld move past the leakage and finish it. we all hate the person who leaked it and im guilty of reading oh like twice. but i dont think she really knows that her not doing it is only a big disappointment. i wldnt go that far and call her a bitch but she needs to reconsider. im just saying. im sure there are others who feel the same as me even i little bit. DONT LET THE HORRIBLE MISTAKE OF ONE PERSON EFFECT ALL OF US!!!!! its not fair and im hurt she wld do this to us loyal fans.
I can hardly stand to sleep…I only want to read. I find that my chest is tight when I am not reading…your books are awesome…btw I am 41…hahahaha
we love edward so much because we hang on to the hopes that such love can exists, and that is the love that we fear only he beholds. we love bella because she shares many qualitys that we each have inside of us, witch allows us to think that we have every right to be loved that way. i say, if your done with mid night sun, then move on to the next and keep our hearts beating loudly out of our chest with every word from every devine chapter that you write.
steph, we love them, all we ask is for you to give us more please!
you need to publish the 5th book i love your books they are so good okay someone hacked into your computer and stole the idea but still you should publish it beacuse i knoe alot of pepole that will read it including me keep up the series please publish it
i have not seen the mid night sun listed anywhere so i have not read it off any site so if you publish the book i will buy it and resd it like i did all the others
please finish all the books from edward’s perspective…you have a loyal audience waiting
omg erin, you have some issues. id like to see you write as well as she does. i mean it cant be easy. i no where your coming from but geez give the woman a break. just cross your fingers and hope she continues. dont forget what jacob said. hate is passion lol
WOW!! congrates Stephenie i can’t beleive you made such amazing books. Stephenie i don’t think you should give up on midnight sun think of all your fans you can’t let them down. sure you published the draft to midnight sun but you controll it you can change it so do. your imagenation can take you any where. so you can change it completly. wow all of your fans make it unexpected, romantic,mysteroius,and simply amazing just like the others
