Midnight Sun Leak

In my point of view how many people knew about the leak.? Who knew about this before she brought it up. I've asked almost every Twilight fan I know and they were just waiting for Midnight Sun to come out. I think you are over reacting about just not writing the books. The least you could do was finish it and put it on here. Yes, I understand how upset you are about the leak but, I honestly have to say you are over reacting. No offence. It just upsets me to see how hard you worked on all these books to just drop Midnight Sun like it was never even written.! It disappoints me that people just can not wait. I feel soo sorry about the leak but Breaking Dawn leaked also. I THINK I COULD SPEAK FOR ALLLLL THE TWILIGHT SAGA FANS. STEPHENIE IF YOU COULD FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FINISH WRITING MIDNIGHT SUN OR WRITE A NEW BOOK WE WOULD ALL BE HAPPY. AND I KNOW WE WOULD ALL BE WILLING TO PUT A PROTEST UP ABOUT ILLEAGAL COPYWRITE. PLEASEEE PLEASEEE PLEASEEE WE WOULD LOVEEE TO READ THIS BOOK OR AT LEAST ANOTHER ONE. THE BOOKS DRAW YOU IN AND ARE BREATH TAKING. PLEASE STEPHENIE FIND IT IN YOU TO FINISH THIS BOOK. WE LOVE YOU AND THE CULLENS/BLACKS<33333

With Love,
Kaylie

Midnight Sun is still going to be published just much later then stephanie had planned, i've read part of it from the link on stephanie meyers website and its such a good opening, im looking forward to reading the rest if stephanie still decides to continue publishing it.
There will always be someone who does this sort of thing, didnt j.k rowling go through something similar?, it just depends on how the authors deal with it.

HEYY I LOVE TWILGHT!!:D:D

yes i do feel sorry for stephine and iam in love with her work just like everyone else on this site and i also respect the way she feels about the leak no matter what we say its not gonna change her mind you dont want to rush her cause then the books gonna suck but hopefully the book will be great otherwise she is gonna lose ALOT of fans for making everyone wait for a book that came out below par now the bar is raised on her though iam not doubting her i also hope that the next book whenever it comes out isnt the last book either i hope the book comes out soon and i support stephine in all her work for those of you who havent read the host get a copy its GREAT! not better then twilight but great all the same

i was really upset to hear about what had happened to the first draft of midnight sun and stephanie has my deepest sympathy .I am also so very happy to know that she is still going to carry on with midnight sun because the first three books were amazing and i am just so eager to read midnight sun. Oh and i think your website is really cool. xx

i totally agree with jodifen! i'm a 24yr old mother of 2 and i have also given up tv because i recently fell in love with the twilight series. i love how the books just absorb you in and you dont want to stop reading(hypnotic). its been a long time since ive found a book that can do that and now i have 4!. But I want more!!! i dont just love edward i love every character and i am so desperate for my next twilight fix!! im dying to read edwards view!
i understand that the person who posted steph meyer's midnight sun on the net broke her confidences but by saying that she's not going to write midnight sun now is only utimately punishing her fans, because we are the ones that desperately want to read it! i have read a lot of what fans are saying and we all(most) have read the first12 chapters draft and loved it!! (i personally wouldn't change a thing of what she's written in those chapters, besides the typos). but just because i have read those first 12 chapters(it didnt even get to the meadow seen) doesn't mean i wouldnt buy i book.I WANT THE BOOK, PLEASE :). i'll be one of the first in line here in australia!

the moment what frustrates me most is that this person who dowloaded it has disapointed us all! a lot of people had been waiting for this book to come out before i even knew about it and it got canceled indefinately! i'v only known about it for 2 days and i'm wishing it was published already so i could read it. :(. But the worst part is that we(the fans) dont even know if its even going to be written, we could be hanging out for the rest of our lives waiting for this book to get published(and we would) and it might never be.( it makes me literally cry just to think of that, i want that book so badly). i wish steph meyer could tell us that she has decided to write it(for sure) least then we would know that it is coming sometime in the future. PLEASE WRITE IT FOR US, YOUR FANS!!:)

I am so crazy about the twilight saga that I have read in 4 times in the last 4 weeks!! I just read the partial draft od Midnight sun and I am so in need of more. Stephanie Meyers writing is so amazing and hypnotic that I cant help but crave more!! I really hope that she reads these comments because I really want her to know how I feel about these books. I am a 42 yr old mom of 2 who was in a complete rut when I saw the movie Twilight. As soon as I saw it I went and bought the Saga. I read all 4 books in less than 2 weeks. I couldnt wait to finish just so i could read it all over again!! These books did something to me both phyisically and mentally. I stopped watching Television because nothing on would compare to reading these books. I lost 20 lbs because I wasnt sitting in front of the TV anymore. I feel in love with the character edward cullen. Please finish Midnight sun!! I have read the first 263 pages that you have posted on your website 4 times, and i keep checking to see if there has been more added. Even if you post the whole book on your website, I will still buy it if it is published because I would love to have the Hard copy in my hands!

I just finished reading Midnight Sun and im so very upset that i wont be able to read a whole book. I think that the whole series is amazing. I am hopeing with all my heart that Stephenie will reconsider and finish writing books from Edwards perspective. I would deffinately be one of the first in line when its relased. Reading just that small draft made me want more.. its aggrevating to know that i might not be able to ever read more of his side. The person/people responsible for the leak should be so ashamed of themsleves.

I sincerely hope that Midnight Sun will be realsed as a full book.

First of all I'd like to say I love twilight. I really would love to say that I have read all of Stephenie Meyers books but I cannot due to the fact that she wont be writting the last book "Midnight Sun." Her books gave me a place where I could escape. I hope she does release "Midnight Sun" because I simply cant just read her Draft or unfinished book that was leaked.

Thank you Stephenie.

Hi, I`ve just finished reading the whole series and I loved it. I actually don't understand all the controversy about Breaking Dawn; if people had been paying attention with the prequels, the end wouldn't have been such a surprise. As for the MS leak, well, I think by now, this whole thing has been taken out of proportion. Stephenie, as stated on your site, you've mentionned that you were pretty sure of the source of the leak. I understand your feelings of betrayal and anger, but be mad at that person, not your fans. I do think there is a lot of potential in that book and know that you have enough fans out there that would buy the book, regardless of whether they've read the leak or not.

for everyone else... have you ever thought of this 'leak' story being a ruse so that more copies are sold when it is actually published?

Stephenie, in case you are reading this, please don't let others affect you in a negative way (me included). Please continue writing...

Thanks for allowing me to escape for these past few days in the small town of Forks. I am also curious now about reading the Host. Thanks for being a wonderful storyteller.

all the best,
cs

im really mad that someone did that. and the nerve of them to do that. and i really think that she should finish it. i mean really when something like that happens your feet pulled out from under neath you and you fall down you just have to brush of and keep going, on your bisness.

IF STEPINE WAS TO GIVE UP ON EDWARD I WOULD BE A VERY UNHAPPY CAMPER. BECAUSE GIVING UP ON TWILIGHT, NEW MOON, ECLIPSE, AND BREAKING DAWN IS JUST JACKED THE F##############!UP YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING. JAKED THE F#########! UP!

I really hope that after midnight sun Stephanie will decide to write another book because she is truly a talented writer. I cried when the worst happened to Bella, such as Edward leaving and Edward saying such touching things to Bella. Their love could not be denied for one another and I am almost finished with the twilight saga which is very sad. Right now I am on Breaking Dawn and I'm amazed by how well Bella could go through all the changes. I didn't want to read the leak out of Midnight Sun because I felt that I owed something to Stephanie because of how her books made me look at life. My parents force me into a certain bedtime which I break as much as I can, and when I got the Twilight books I stayed up half the night until I got in deep trouble. I also refused to study for finals when reading these books

omg!

She needs to grow up and stop with the teenage girl tantrum. Not very endearing at her age.
The "draft" that leaked is almost certainly as "finished" as her previous published books were. By not rushing to the publisher with this, and acting like a spoiled child lashing out, she's only ensured anyone who would have purchased her book, will just download it for free, rather than wait to see if she changes her mind after a year or two.

I think stephanie has every right to be upset and angry .. it her hard work that goes into the books and each one is its own little masterpiece to read and enjoy... i wouldnt want someone seeing something id done unfinished she needs to feel its perfect and to enjoy her experience of writing it ... but i really do hope that she releases a complete version it ould complete the saga. I hope she can find the enjoyment in it again and feel right to finish it and release it, even if it is in a few years FOR HERSELF as well as her fans who appreciate her work and the time that goes into making such readablle and utterly enjoyable books.

Omg everyone is like "Poor stephenie.." and "Its so sad she worked so hard.." blah blah blah. Um.. the reason it was leaked was because she has shitty publicists.. if she actually had good publicists and shit Midnight Sun wouldn't have been leaked. And to all you people who are obsessed with Twilight. You are wasting your life. Sure twilight is good, but it is not great, or epic, or even close to anything like that. Its just a book that got way too much attention. The vampire meets human and falls in love idea isn't new either. In all the Nightworld books its basically the same and Nightworld came out long before Twilight (1994). Stephenie Meyer just added on to that idea, which in my opinion was stupid. A vampire and human having a child. NO!! that is just gay. It doesn't happen. It follows no traditional vampire stories whatsoever. I think the Twilight series is very overrated and is not all it's made out to be.

I think that Stephenie should realize that this isn't anyones fault but her own. I love Twilight, and I love Miss Myers, but honestly, manuscripts of personal works should not be frivolously distributed.

Authors have their works leaked all the time, but still continue to write, publish, and sell their works to their fans. Stephenie should take this out on the individual who leaked her work, because it is said that she knows who has, and she notes that it was 'not of malicious intent'. It obviously made her mad enough to halt writing, so why does said person get the gratitude of watching her crumble when all of her fans, who have done nothing but support her don't get to see her shine?

Why she would post the confidence breaking leak on her website is beyond me. It should have been removed from the internet, and public exposure if she felt this strongly. (Publicity stunt? Who knows at this point. But honestly, if it was, then Why? She has a huge fanbase the way it is, why commit such dishonesty towards those fans?)

Twilight is now a cultural phenomenon, and it would be wrong of her to break that over a small stupid incident such as an internet leak. Some have chosen not to read it, and others have, but either way every fan wants to have a published copy to stand on their bookshelves to support one of the many talented authors of our time.

I think that Stephenie must be beside herself, one of her friends that she trusted with a copy of the unfinished version of Midnight Sun published it and made her look like such a shmuck because, now people are saying that this is all just a publicity scam, but I know it isn't, she's just beside herself over it, there is no possible way that soemone can just fake all this anger and hurt and uphappyness, it just isn't possible.

Oh my god, what is wrong with you people? I do not see how you think this piece of crap book can be considered literature. It is nothing more than a poorly written Mary Sue. Her reaction to the leak was in fact immature. She threatened to not publish it at all after the leak. That is rather childish. Also, there is no point to threaten me, make personal attacks or question my intelligence. I have a master’s degree in literature. I know what I am talking about.

hey, kaleb! man, i haven't read breaking dawn yet, and i don't want to do so yet, because then i will be like completely desperate to read midnight sun...however, leaks happen all the time... stephanie should disregard those assholes who did that and keep writing...:)

Also I haven't even read the draft.Legal or otherwise.Irefuse to do so until this wrong doing is justified.No matter how painful it is knowing that Edwards point of view is out there.I'll just have to find new books in the ten section and any other thing that looks worthy of my time.(Of course I will continue to buy all TWILIGHT products in order to support Ms. Meyer.I'll keep re-reading the book too.) :)

This is really sad ... who would actually do a thing \like this to Stephenie(the greatest author ever)?my friends and i were really looking forward to reading this book. we're,like, totally obsessed.But now because Stephenie's not going to finish the book we're like " what do we do now? wait around for the movies and watch them over and over again?It's not like we werent already planning on doing that. Are we supposed to keep reading the books over and over again? We're already doing this.*sigh*WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?? No other book can mesure up to this series. People, there IS NO LIFE AFTER TWILIGHT! so please stop rying to push these other books.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Stephenie, finish the books. I need them.No, WE need them.

Although it is extremely sad that a copy of Midnight Sun was leaked, it is not all together unheard of. I can empathize with Stephanie and the breach of trust that she must have felt. With that being said, I think that it is time for her to buck up and be a big girl. After reading the partial draft on her website, I am more convinced that she needs to finish it. She says on her page that she cannot finish it right now due to her poor mood about the subject and that she may just end up killing all of the Cullens. We all know that this isn't true because all she is doing is simply retelling the story from another point of view. I think that she owes it to her fans to finish it. I hope that she comes to terms with it soon... here's hoping!

I wish she would just get over the leak. It's fine for her to be mad, but she isn't the first and only victim this has happened to. I LOVED the first 12 chapters of midnight sun and really want her to finish!!!! Bella was a horrible selfish and inconsiderate main character, so I think Edward makes the book better. The first story was the only good one anyway . I hated the last one. The entire time all I could think was WHAT the HELL .

I just really want her to finish midnight sun for the fans who care and support the book!!!

stop blaming stephenie for this she is very upset about the leak so stop talking her into finishing it because she will once you guys stop begging her to finish it which will be forever from this point so I support stephenie and I understand her so will you people STOP hurting her feelings by saying your mad at her and that she's stupid for doing this because shea NOT! so if you were a real twilight fan or if you really want her to finish the book stop talking about that book and just be nice to her! and also stop saying the title of the book thats another reason she cant forget about it so please for you people that want her to finish it stop being rude and just forget about it like she wants you to.
If you have any questions email me at
lilbutterfly0127@yahoo.com
thanks alot!

i know its unfair....but now im desperate waiting for it to publish.... pls..maam....plsss..i love reading your books...pls..

the draft is on her website.

I was extremely mad about the Midnight Sun leak. First, if Stephenie wanted it to be shown to the public, she could have done that herself, and it gives no one the right to read Midnight Sun before anyone else. We were all looking forward to it, and now what? Some doofuses decieded to post it on the internet for there own stupid usage. It's not fair, and it's not nice. Stephenie had all rights to that book, and you just vialiated her like she wasn't a real person, with real feelings. Like she said, you vilalated her rights as a human being. I hope that anyone who read that illegal copy is ashamed and very very very guilty. And to the person that started the leak, I hope that you are happy, because none of us are.

i really really wanted 2 read Midnight Sun but now ill never be able 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
plz plz plz stephenie myers send ur draft 2 da publishers NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephenie is awesome! I think she is the best writer in the world because of the books she wrote. Ilove these books and am already reading them over because I couldn't stand to not read the books. I am Stephenie
Meyer's #1 fan because of the books she wrote. I LOVE BELLA CULLEN!!!

OMG!!! I hope Steph still publishes it!!! She posted a rough draft on her website and I MUST finish the entire book!!!

Oh Good God! I was totally freaked out about Midnight Sun when I read it on her website. I can understand why she's pretty pissed at what they did. I personally would like her to finish Midnight Sun. The other books were fantastic! You can become obsessed with these books lol I really loved Twilight and would like to finish reading it in Edward's point of view. She's a great author and when she decides to publish it she will. Just give her some space for now. : D

i hate whoever did that so u suc and i love edwward he is so hot
!!!!!!!

I just read all 4 books last week. Wasn't really going to read them, but my son got them for Christmas, and he really thought I might like them. I started and couldn't stop. They were GREAT - I liked all 4 equally. I didn't even know about the 5th book (sorry guys - I just found about the series at all a week ago) - until I went to SM's website. I actually went there to email her a thank you for the wonderful diversion from a boring life she provided me. I then found out that you can't even email SM because she is too busy working, etc. WTF??? I LOVE the books, and I LOVE the characters...but, seriously, an author who is too busy to even accept emails from her fans???? It's not like she has to read them or even acknowledge that particular email - I, the sender, would never know - as I would not expect a response anyway. But to come right out and say...I'm too busy to accept them...sorry, guys, the success has gone to her head.

Ok. This stinks that this happened. No one deserves that, especially Stephenie Meyer.

But I'm guilty as charged for reading it. I couldn't help myself. It was fantastic too. Maybe better than Twilight itself, and I really do hope that it hits shelves soon. I think we all do.

uggh...
is the midnight sun book will not be published because of the leak??

Let me say this now: I am not a Twilight fan and I think Meyer is a hack of an author.
I honestly think that she leaked Midnight Sun because of all the disappointment surrounding Breaking Dawn. It's a brilliant idea, but solely based on her writing, I don't think she has the chops to think up such an idea.

Hi !
I've heard of the leak at school...
After one day, eeryone knew about it ...
I'm glad that Stephenie put Copyrights on it ...
I read her article, but then I had my mouse on the link of midnight sum ... : What should I do ? Read it or not ?
I read the first chapter and then ... I was feeling SOOOOOO guilty that I stopped... I was so guilty, that I didn't even enjoy it (even if I should have)
I'm glad that she decided to continue it, but she didn't say WHEN it will be continued ...

I will wait ( It has been a month that I read it, and I'm still feeling guilty)

pLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON TWILIGHT FOR JUST ONE PESON'S MISTAKE PLEASE PUBLISH THIS BOOK! pLEASE DON'T PUNISH ALL OF UR TWILIGHT FANS 4 THIS 1 PERSONS MISTAKE!

When I heard about the Midnight Sun leak I was pretty upset. I mean... come on! Are you guys REALLY that desperate?! I thought it was bunch of crap.

I was also a bit upset with what Steph did in response. Sure, I'm glad she posted what she did of MS, but to totally stop writing it? I dunno... it seemed like she got too upset over it. I think people would've admired her more if she said, "Eh, whatever, be expecting the book next June, getting people after the jerk who posted it," etc. At least, that's what I would've done.

I respect her decision, since I'm not her, but I was really looking forward to MS.

Kiaora.
Iv read only Twilight, seeing i am still waiting for the arrival of my other books. i cant wait untill they get here. Im a huge fan of Stephanie. I adore her books and am hard out glad they are being made into movies. Im only 14 and live in New Zealand but im hooked on these books and movies. I really like the names chosen for each of the charecters as well. They're really classy and fun. Congratz to all the actors and actresses. I really hope it does get wriitten into a book though, i'll love it no matter what. Thank you Stephanie, you have really made the books amazing. All the romance and drama and all of it. Hopefully i'll get to meet you one day and hopefully some of the cast, if you ever come to New Zealand, pleease come to Levin it'll be worth yor while .

Love .xx

im sorry that this happened but i didnt read it

but to say that you are not gonna write it anymore
is a very rude thing for her to do to her fans
i am a big Edward fan and i was waiting to read it until the book is released

i am completeley infuriated.i refuse to read it online or download a copy because i want to read it from stephanie meyer not some fake out person who thought they would be cool enough to post it on the internet.i hope meyer will decide to publish it anyway.she should be able to do that without someone stealing her work and acting all cool about it.i am so furious that i want to kick something.

When i heard that midnight sun was on the internet i freeked. people are such assholes i can't beleve that those people could do that!

no matter the outcome of her descison, i think that the book would have been great.and it really sux that someone would tamper with something that would have made alot of people really happy. even tho all four books were absolutly amazing. its just really unfair to ruin someones hard work like that. idk i really hope she reconsiders because im sure that a lot of people are really wanting to see edwards perspective on the whole thing. and shes a really great author so i no it would have been a really great book.

i've only read twilight...the others are sold out. dang!

i think stephenie did an incredible job on the Twilight series and i am forever grateful for her work. i also think that Midnight Sun would have been an amazing addition to the Twilight world and it would have been a win-win situation if it was finished. the fans would get one more book to end their separation enxiety from the Twilight nation, and Stephenie would have made a huge profit from the deal. it really is to bad that it won't be completed, and though i understand the betrayal she feels, i cannot agree with her desicion not to finish it. its more of a loss for her. but Stephenie, i really hope you will change your mind about this and complete it eventually. thank you for letting me voice my opinion.

I'm a little behind and I just found out a little while ago about the leak. As a writer, I understand the violation and the betrayed feelings. As a fan, I hope she can finish writing it for those who are really looking forward to it. It would be such a shame to let this put a damper on her work, although it is quite understandable how it would.

Midnight sun is amazing! I'm so angry about the leak, because now NONE of us will get a final copy of midnight sun (at least not while we're still young!) I really love what ive read so far. It is perhaps the most interesting piece of the saga. and since the huge (i felt) disappointment of the uncomfortably predictable Breaking Dawn, i'd like to end this on a high note! WRITE IT! But dont share it until your done...please

i Really hope she finishes the book..and publishes It..!!
the reason i want it to be published is because it would be so cool to have an Edward's perspective of Twilight.
and i'm really hoping she publishes it..Soon!

i think stephine should finish the book...but i undersant if she doesnt cause how would u feel if this great piece of writing you were ready to publish got leaked illegaly onto the internet?? not good. exactly my point. lets stephine do what she needs to do and back off with the criticizm

i only read the first chaper i wanna wait till it is published but wow its Really good i hope u do finish it and publish it!! i would really like to know if ur starting to continue writing it anytime soon?

I've heard of Burning Dusk, Edward's story of New Moon, but I'm not sure if it's only a rumor or not. Of course Stephenie Meyer does not have an email, but I still wonder if she'll write his versions of the Saga...

ohhhh and also
just want to let you guys know that her official page is a favorite of mine now
just because of the fact that i check it everytime im on the computer HOPING for an update saying "im starting back up with Midnight Sun and it will be out in _______"
Hope that day comes very soon since i have now been teased into the storyline all over again.

im new to the whole twilight thing. I just read it last week and was amazed by it.
i never thought it would EVER be that good, but it was.
Im getting the whole saga for christmas, and after promising my dad i wouldnt read New untill then, i was itching for more twilight.
I found Midnight Sun. On her website of course. And after two days of reading it i was in love. A lot of the time this idea of a different perspective can become cliche
But no way in this case.
I really do hope that she takes Midnight Sun off hold, and continues writing, and eventually publishes it. Because like she has stated this is a PARTIAL DRAFT. she only let out the partial draft, so we as an audience and fans can not wait until it is out in bookstores.
I will no doubt buy it, even with the basic knowledge of the first 12 chapters. I could not bare to know its out there and a empty space for it on my shelf.
All i can do is PRAY that she finishes it. Because like many others I need to know Edwards side of the story. Hopefully she will forgive the leakers and proceed on with Midnight Sun.

OMG! i read the draft she posted and im going to be sooooo disappointed if she doesnt finish and publish midnight sun. The insight into edwards head (and every1 else's!) is great and only makes the twilight saga more unforgetable!

she just wants us to know she feels. i mean she must have put in so much efforts into it, to make it so great and all... but she got bummed coz sm idiot posts it online! it totally ruins the surprise and charm of MS!

I also agree with number 25. Even though it was leaked, that doesnt mean that she needs to totally go on strike and leave everything the way it is. If I end up not reading the second half, I will end up like Bella in New Moon. Gasping for more of Edward!!

I completely understand Stephanie not wanting to continue the book, what those people did leaking it like that was wrong. It isn't even a finished copy. I know i hate it when my work is on display before i've made sure it's my best. She didnt deserve that. But being the selfish twilight fan that i am im really hoping she will reconsider and finish the book because twilight is such a happy escape and I don't want it to end. I wouldn't be upset with her no matter what she chooses to do, her trust and respect was completely violated but hey it's not the fans fault so i really hope she finishes this book because if she does i will be first in line to buy it.

I agree with those of you who are a little disgruntled with Stephanie for not finisheing. It seems sort of childish to be say. Oh.. I have been hurt.. haha to bad for those of you who were waiting patiently. I have read midnight sun... multiple times, I love Edward and I would buy this book and the enbtire series over again if she rewrote it from Edwards POV. I really love her books and I wish she would continue. JK rowling had this happen too but she didnt just stop writing.. that is the biggest thing that pisses me off that she is making such a big deal and turning herself into a martyr.. people were going to buy the book more now becuase they had a 12 chapter teaser. especially becuae it leaves off right before the meadow :'( Everytime I read it I just want more more more. I really hope she realizes that not everyone is out to get her and we just want to read the new book :)

I love Stephanie Meyer's work, but I definately think that she can handle this situation much better instead saying that she won't write the book for another TWO YEARS. I don't think I have the patience to wait that long!!! :P

i know that what we the fans feel is nothing compared to what Stephenie Meyers is feeling. she trusted someone with something that she wouldnt have with many people but they betrayed her. no one can understand what she is feeling...but as a fan i do wish that she will one day wake up in the morning and decide to finish the book that all of her other loyal fans are waiting for. edward, bella, and everyone of the characters felt to real. as i was reading breaking dawn i wanted to finish it but at the same time i didnt want to because that would have meant the end of the story forever and all of the characters being just characters in a book forever. when i heard that there would be another book in edward's point of view, i couldnt wait but i know that the wait will be longer. ms.meyer please know that we all love you and that we will be waiting for our favorite characters that we have been with from the very first book. everyone is waiting so please one day be able to tell us that midnight sun is finished. i will always wish that that day will come.

I hope that Ms. Meyer sees all this. I hope that she realizes that the wrong doings of one person should not be enough to condemn the city he lives in. I have loved Twilight from the beginning. I remember buying it before I'd ever heard of it, just wandering aimlessly around Barnes & Nobel and then there it was, the shiny red apple grabbing my attention. It has become one of my favorite books of all time, which is saying something since I read quite a lot. It's silly and unreasonable but it feels as though my favorite aunt(or some such) has betrayed me in some vicious fashion. For a while just looking at other twilight fans made me seethe, mentally hissing and growling at them. Who did they think they were? This was MY book. I had read it during my dark moments of despair, I had stretched out in the sun to imagine light reflecting of Edwards skin, I had clung to the romance that Twilight shot across my sky and sighed softly when there had been a happy ending. What were these people doing talking and laughing and loving MY book!? And then I realized that it could mean just a good read to something even more than what I felt to THOUSANDS of people. It sounds like something I should have understood with no thought at all but I didn't, because I was just that wrapped up in Twilight.
So now I think to myself, maybe it's just that Ms. Meyer doesn't see this herself. If she did I'm almost positive she would continue with Midnight sun. She would race to her computer and blaze through what remains of the novel, and say "I'm so sorry, I didn't know how you all thirsted for this, who cares that some jerk-off put my work out there unfinished and way to early, I'm bigger than this, because I have so many caring fans to support me." I'm sure that would be her response. So maybe the only answer is to make her see what these books mean to some of us. Even if it's nothing more than a simply enjoyable novel. I know that I for one, am doing my best not to read the unfinished portion of her novel, in hopes that she will continue, but I crave it. I could even stand to read four more books all from Edwards POV. (Not that I'm demanding she write them) Even if I do cave, and dive into whats left of Midnight Sun, I would still purchase it, she could even charge me extra for a little sticker that proclaims it an Official copy. I would have no qualms forking over the portion of my meager salary.

If anyone happens to be interested, please join the new Live Journal Community on just this subject, It's my prayer that together we can make her understand (meant in a completely non-invasive way) As of this moment there's not much there, but it's being worked on. I stress that I just randomly felt the compulsion to do this, so there is nothing there yet, but I could use some help. If your interested or have any comments for me you can reach me at themidnightsunrally@gmail.com

I heard about twilight about 2 weeks ago and finished breaking dawn a few days ago. the series was the most captivating story of forbiden love i coud ever dream of reading. i couldnt put it down but didnt want to finish because i knew i would miss the characters as if they were real people, and i do.

my friend told me about the fifth book a few says ago and with the same sentence told me it wasnt being published because some fool leaked the unfinised draft. i got so exited i almost cried when i heard the first part of what my friend was telling me, and so let down at the end of her story. it completely ruined my day and so far my week could have been better. i havent read the draft but i dont know if i can stand it for much longer... so ..... Stephenie, please, please finish it! Do you want us to beg... is that it, well ...i know I will. PLEASE! we miss bella and edward cullen, bring them back! The movie wasnt enough!

I think it's horrible that someone would do that Stephenie Meyer. It's a violation of personal rights as and author and a human being. I know, as an author myself, I hate it when people badger me about a book when i don't want people to get the impression of what was in my mind in that time frame. It's not how i wanted my book to be presented, and I'm sure that's how Meyer about all this.

It really SUX, I mean when I was done with breaking Dawn it was like, 'Ok.......now what do I do with my life???? And the only thing that kept me goin was the thought of midnight sun being released. Now I just feel really bad about it.....But S.M. needs to SUCK IT UP!!!! I MEAN SHIT HAPPENEDS THE SAME THING HAPPENED W/ H.POTTER!!! Dont disappoint your fans by letting some MONEY HUNGRY BASTARD KILL THEIR CRAVINGS! I still think its sad though...I'm sad...But I guess we still have the MOVIES!.....OMG UNTIL THEIR OVER!1!!!!!!!

The Twilight series is absolutely amazing literature. It, along with Harry Potter, bring so many different audiences in. It is heart breaking knowing that the author of these amazing books has given up. She has amazing talent and imagination, it is so sad to see her give up after all her hard work. I read the rough draft of Midnight Sun from her website after a friend told me it was on hold indefinately and was blown away. Edward's point of view brings a whole new aspect of the storyline and even after knowing what happens in the end, it still keeps you reading as if you didn't know anything at all. I hope that Mrs. Meyer can one day look past her betrayal and finish Midnight Sun for not only her loyal fans, but also for herself.

OMG!! Stephenie please write Midnight Sun I really really want you to! I am in love with your books and if you don't write them I will be so upset! You are an amazing writer and should be strong and keep writing it!! Please!

Hey Kaleb, props to you for reading Twilight! I'm really upset at the goons who leaked the copies of Midnight Sun. My heart goes out to Ms. Meyer, and I strongly believe that she should continue to write this book. She has the support of her REAL fans, and it would be even more of a tradgey if she stopped altogether. We love you Stephenie! Please don't stop writing this! We've got your back. Love & Warm Brownies, ~Tina

I heard about Midnight Sun from a freind who informed me that it was online. I looked it up and found Stephanies comments. I hate that I am one of the many people who thought that it was o.k. to read her unfinished work. I will not read any of this story untill it becomes a book. Which I hope it still will. and if it does I will be the first to buy it.

Stephanie Don't give up on Edward or Bella, you made an amazing book. I'm almost sad it's fiction, but it's so amazing, i can only help but to think that it's all true. You are amazing, and its only a leak. as you said it's only a draft so you have so many more changes to make to it. Dont let the leak change your mind about it. It's going to be an amazing book as of them all. You're amazing, and as I can tell, we all love you. <3Kelsea

I, for one, thought that the way she handled the situation was very petulant. Mind you, I would be EXTREMELY angry if anyone dared to leak my work over the internet, especially when I trusted them with the rough draft in the first place.

But to swear off the book indefinitely is not the way to go about it. What she needs to realize is that a lot of authors have their works leaked over the internet, completed or not. There is always going to be someone out there that is going to stoop to thievery or spoilers posted all over web pages and blogs.

She shouldn't have entrusted the copy to anyone in the first place. It is common sense to realize that because the fandom for this series is so large and overbearing, anyone with the opportunity of having a copy is going to run with it. The chance was always there. When you are as famous as she is, you can't trust anyone. It is sad but true but now she has to deal with the knowledge in an adult manner. It happened to J.K. Rowling with her last book but she didn't cry off the series. She got it published.

Meyer basically threw a tantrum in my opinion. She is being selfish in a small way for not continuing the book. So she got it leaked; yes, she's angry. We all are. But continue writing the book and give your fans what they have been waiting for - they have made her work as popular as it is today.

I am truly devastated of this leak, for I was and still am looking forward to this last book, which is about Edward's thoughts. I read the original draft in Ms. Meyer's official site and I must say that it would be such a waste if she wouldn't complete it. Whoever started this should be sued and should be punished. A lot of fans are anticipating this book and they ruined it.
Ms. Meyer, please do not lose hope. We, your fans, give you our full love and support. Please continue in writing these works of art, for they really inspire us readers.
We'll be here for you, no matter what! :)

I support Stephenie Meyer in whatever decision that she decides to make, but I personally would love to see Midnight Sun completed. I've started a website specifically dedicated to Stephenie to show her that we the fans love her stories and would love to see Midnight Sun finished. I consider this a gift to her and there is a petition there to sign. (with over 9,000+ names to date) It's not demanding, it's just there to let the other fans kind of "sign their names on this gift as well"

personally i love books. The internet is great for info and stuff for projects but when it comes to reading stories nothing beats a book. you can take them anywhere and read them at any time. also if you like a book its nice to have it on your shelf. i really think that Stephenie Meyers should continue writing and should get midnight sun published. people would be lost without authors writing books. i sincerly hope Stephenie will finish and publish the book. good luck Stephenie Meyer.

I began reading Twilight a few days ago, I am currently at page 180 of Eclipse. I started, of course, because all of my friends talked non-stop about it until I did, and I was interested. I personally love the series so far, and I personally believe that anyone low enough in moral standing to leak Midnight Sun to the masses deserves to rot. I personally read only the 1 chapter teaser that Stephenie Meyer posted on her official website before the leak happened. I refuse to read the 12 chapters that were leaked onto the internet, and I hope(hope would be an understatement) that Ms. Meyer is not so discouraged as to not continue writing Midnight Sun. When I heard there was going to be a version of Twilight strictly from Edward's point of view, I was ecstatic, however, no more than a day or so later, I heard it was cancelled because of a leak and I was outraged. As not to take up too much more of your forum space, I will cut my venting short. I believe that Ms. Meyer should undoubtedly finish the book, for the 90% of her fans who stayed loyal to and loving of her series. My only wish is that I could attempt to convince her in person. Good luck Stephenie Meyer.

I was so upset when I heard that Midnight Sun would be postponed indefinently! I felt the need to really do something this time. So, http://savemidnightsun.com was created. We are reaching almost 9,000 signatures from all over the world. This site is a gift to Stephenie Meyer from her fans.

So I have read the legal copy that Stephanie released on her official page, and I am sad that we as fans won't get to finish seeing Twilight from Edwards perspective. I really enjoy this view and find it to be almost a completely different story. While I respect Stephanie's decision I wish she would change her mind and not punish her loyal fans.

honestly, i think that that was really low for the person to do, yu know betray her trust like that but seriously.. that shouldnt stop her from continuing midnight sun. Stephenie should continue it to prove to the person that it doesnt matter and by continuing it, yu arent depriving the readers such as me from reading the wonderful stories she has created. Stephenie is an amazing author.. and i would really like to read the rest of the book. I finished the whole series in a week and i am so sad that it is over and i was happy to see that there was another book coming out.. ecstatic is putting it mildly.
Please stephenie, continue writing. half of my school has read the twilight series and some teachers loved the book so much they are putting it in their curriculum.

It's terrible that someone could even think to do such a thing! She gave someone the unedited copy so that they give their insight about the story and that person had the audacity to post it online! I can understand that she is upset. While it's unfair to punish everyone, whoever was resposible for the leak should have to pay a price. I have been looking forward to Midnight Sun, and I will be devistated if it is to be abandoned. Please, Stephanie, don't make the world suffer for someone else's stupidity!

i read it.

it was amazing

i can't believe she's not finishing it. she said she might kill bella and edward if she did.

the draft was so
agh
he loved her from the very beginning!
ahhhhhhhh
so sweet
stops right before the meadow chapter.
so mad.
gaheia ;dj;s ageisfjd;'

When I found out about the leak i was FURIOUS! I adore Stephenie Meyer and her books. How could that person BETRAY her trust like that?!?! Makes me wanna GRAB MY PITCHFORK AND TORCH...not that I own a pitchfork but it sounded good. :-) I havn't read it yet because i'm still hoping for a published copy but...then again now that she's put it out she probably wouldn't make many sells because people could just read ALMOST the same thing for free.

I would buy it though, pretty much just out of respect. I feel as if I owe it to Stephenie by now! I'll be darned if she doesn't!

P.S. I'm not a hick but after re-reading my comment I realized I kinda sounded like one :-)

coment# 219 by NICOLE
you can just shut up! (excuse my language) you are wrong and no one NO ONE WHO IS A TRUE STEPHANIE FAN agrees with u!!!! what is your problem anyway. anything that meyers writes is beautiful,wonderful, amazing,and definately an instant classic! i LOVE the idea of seeing from edwards point of view! i didnt want to read stephanie`s leak of midnight sun, i held off as long as i could.... but when i heard that she might not finish it, i could not help myself from reading it. i feel like i betrayed meyers but the book has me CRAVING more! i thought it was brilliant and i am more in love with edward than ever! i hope that stephanie finishes it this year or next, or id rather anytime as long as she finishes midnight sun... i hope she feels better and knows that if she wrote the cruddiest book ever and critics HATED it, i would still read it and love it! im pretty sure that most fans would too!,soo i hope stephanie feels wayyyy better soon!!!<3333

Twilight is my life!!! i am obsessed with anything that has something to do with stephanie myers or the twilight series!<33 i finished the entire series in two weeks. i CANNOT get enough! it is my life now and nothing else matters to me. while i was reading it, my parents would get annoyed with me for not spending enough time with them.they would actually have to take my book away from me to make me eat,drink,sleep,or spend time with them!now that i`m done reading what is out, i cant stop thinking about how perfect it is.i am reading new books (270 pages each) every day, just to get my mind off of twilight. i finished twilight TWO WHOLE MONTHS AGO!!when will this craving end! i hope stephenie reads this and knows that she has my support along with millions of twilighters! these books are going down in history as classics!i am very upset about the leak and i hope that shefinishes it soon, but i need to go cause this coment is WAYYYYY too long but it doesnt even express all of my feelings for twilight! dude, i feel like such a nerd, admitting how obsessed with this book i am...
=/ i hope u feel better soon stephanie, that person must have really hurt your feelings.

Stephenie! Please, please don't give up on the series. Don't leave us with edward hanging! pls pls continue!

I'm a middle school reading teacher, and because of the work of Stephenie Meyer, I have been able to draw in so many students to reading. They can't stop reading her work! I'm disappointed about the loss of Midnight Sun, for myself, but particularly on behalf of my students. I know personally, I would have bought at least 4 copies of the book, since I've bought at least that many of each of her others; I can't keep them on my shelves! I'm hopeful that Stephenie will take the time that she needs and finish Midnight Sun, but I respect her decision either way. If not Midnight Sun, I hope she's going to continue giving us great books. She is an amazing author!

To Bonnie: That's different. There isn't anything the artists can do about the leak because the songs were already completed. Imagine if you were in the middle of a song or a story, and someone you trusted distributed that copy without your permission. How would you feel? Stephenie's trust was violated by someone close to her. With that feeling in mind, her perspective in life changes. And with that perspective, it is more difficult to write Midnight Sun because she now sees things differently.

It's not that she's being selfish. I think it's a good decision that she stopped writing because she wouldn't be able to finish the story as she intended it to be PRIOR to the leak. If you think about it, she's getting back to it one day, most likely when she no longer has that current outlook on life. So for those angry fans, would you rather have her finish it as she intended, or have her write the novel in a different state of mind where the story isn't what it should be?

Well, I read the leaked copy, but only after Stephenie Meyer had out it on her site.
I loved it SO much, I was so excited about it being Edward's viewpoint.
I love him so much more now since I can understand him a little bit better.

But I do have to go on to say.. it is very selfish of Stephenie to not publish the book or continue writing it.
Music artists and other artists have their songs and such leaked out weeks before the albums come out, and they don't cry about it, they just get over it and know that true fans will get over it and buy the finished product anyways. It was partly HER fault for giving out copies, anyways. She just needs to get over it and stop punishing the fans because of her own mistake.

p.s. - Rowling's getting jealous!

I hadn't checked back the stephenie Meyer site for ages. I have finished breaking dawn, and thought it was AMAZING. I was really sad, though, when i remembered that it was the last book. I think u should write another one, because it would be interesting how Bella could show edward her thoughts, and how Renesmee grows up to be.
anyway, when i checked on the website today, i read all the stuff about Midnight sun, and i was so excited! i had the same idea and thought how great it would be to see everything from edward's point of veiw. so when i saw that stuff from the book had been leaked onto the internet, i was really angry. I hope u rethink about publishing midnight sun, and write edward's point of veiw for all the other books, too.

i know that stephenie meyer is depressed about someone leaking out midnight sun, but i don't think that its a good idea for her to just not publish the book cause i am a huge fan of her book. i haven't even read the leak because i knew that she wanted to suprise her readers. so i didn't read it. i was so pissed off when she said that she wont publish it. i was furious. she didn't have to punish all her readers for it. it was so unfair.

I read the first chapter of midnight sun and fell in love with it. like all te rest of your books i think that it is fantastic, amazing,awesome, too great for words. i am a little upset now though because i think that this series is really addictive to read and i can't wait for the book to come out. i love to re-read this series over and over and over again. i hope the book comes out soon.

OMG IM SORRY STEPHANIE THAT IT LEAKED OUT AND THAT HAPPENED BUT YOU KNO ALL YOUR FANS LOVE U AND OF COURSEEEEEEE WE STILL LOVE UR BOOK NO MATTER WAT ^-^ LOVE U LOTS (SORRY FOR CAPS IN HYPER)
