TwilightGuy.com: 1 Year Later

April 16th, 2009 at 3:21 am by Kaleb Nation

My first year in the Twilight fandom has been one of the best years of my life. It is impossible to thank each of you enough, especially Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight Lexicon for everything they have done to welcome me into this enormous family of fans, ever since the very first post. To show my appreciation to the readers who have kept me going, I’m giving away a copy of New Moon, signed by Stephenie Meyer herself. You can comment on this post or on the video itself: I’ll pick a winner early next week by random number choice. NOTE: if the new comment system deletes your comment, don’t panic! It’s learning what is spam and what isn’t: I can still see your entry anyway.

As I’m sure many of you have realized, my days as an active part of the Twilight fandom are numbered. I’m on Breaking Dawn now. Starting this Fall, I’ll have my own fandom and readers to take care of. But you can be sure I’ll never forget how much the Twilight fandom welcomed me — and at the rate I’m reading, we still have some time ahead!

And now, for those of you who have fun at my BlogTV shows (and anyone who might enjoy some special extra surprises for today!)…

    Hey congrats again Twilight Guy!! This is a great site you have and looking forward to reading your book. When is this contest over? I'm looking forward to my prize. Just wondered when I would be able to get my congratulatory email that will set my heart all aflutter. Then I'll run to the mailbox evvvvvvvvvvvvvvery day until it arrives and then I'll read it again for the umpteenth time because I know that having Stephenie's autograph will add magic to this edition and I will become so much more insightful when it comes to all matters New Moon. lol Then I can go to my local Hallmark store and buy you the nicest card possible.

    Happy anniversary Kaleb!
  • sheZza
    i used to want you to read the books faster so i can know what you think of them...but now i think you should take your time there is no harm in finishing breaking dawn in the next few years...DONT LEAVE US
    But if you do then leave me with a parting gift...say a signed copy of New Moon :P
  • Jacqui9988
    As a Twilight Saga fan, I try to get as many of my friends, and even my family to read Twilight so they can share with me the pleasure of reading the books. So it's wonderful to hear that you have enjoyed reading the Twilight books, and sharing with us as you read what you thought about each chapter. It's great to see you checking out what everyone is talking about, and even though you are a guy, you have given the Twilight Saga a chance. I tried to get my dad to read the books, but i had to pressure him every hour to read just one page. But it is good to know that this website is going to go on for a while longer, and I'm sure everyone is extremely greatful for your efforts of discovering deeper meanings for each chapter of the books. Everyone can't wait to read about what you think of Breaking dawn. I watched your live BlogTV, it was funny and entertaining. It would be great to win the book, because I'm only 13, so I can't get a job, and it's taken me a while to save up money just to get twilight, and I still don't have enough money yet to get Twilight! So I would be very greatful if I could win New Moon. Happy 1 year twiversary!
  • Rhiannon
    Wow! A whole year has gone by...It's hard to believe we went from Bella's "firetruck" to her getting married. Truly amazing.
    I guess as we're coming to a close, I bid you farewell and wish you luck. Thank you for providing a years' worth of reading and entertainment. I know it's not over, but it's like we've come full circle, you know? Anyway ...I'm really, really excited for your book! haha.
  • Katie
    I'm a new reader and absolutely adore your blogs. You're halarious! Conragtulations on all your success and best of luck to you in the future! :)
  • jfwstarrider
    I also swear to you by all that's vampirish, that I would like to win the book for my personal library and at no time will it ever show up on Ebay like you know some people are wanting it for. Again, good luck with your book. I look forward to reading it.
  • jfwstarrider
    Way to go on your new book! That accomplishment is so awesome. I've got you on my calendar. Good luck to you. Wish me luck on the contest.
  • Amanda

I'm deffinately team edward but you make me look at Jacob's perspective. Now i'm not saying that i like Jacob any more than i used to, but i can see why he does what he does.
  • Susan Wilder
    I can't believe your time with us is coming to close! My husband made fun of me reading the books until he saw the movie. He has read them through 4 times. Really enjoys the writing style. I also am intrigued by your book! The trailer you designed was very mysterious... Thank you for joining our Twi-tribe this past year. May you be blessed on 09-09-09 and always.

    A fan,

    Susan

  • Happy first birthday, so to speak.
    I was going to leave you a birthday wish on the day, but I… forgot. :)
    I saw the Bran Hambric cover and I simply cannot wait! Is it on Amazon yet? You know, for pre-order? I doubt that it will come out in England on the same date so I'd love a garuntee of getting it!
    Anyway, catch you later. I'm off to re-read the Bran Hambric preview. For the twentieth time…
    Rebecca.

    Congralutations on your first year, Kaleb!
  • Danielle R
    Congrats Kaleb on making it a whole year! i love your website so much!!!!!! i'll be sad when u finish the books but im still happy for you!
  • The Findlay Sisters
    Hello Kaleb from England!

    We think its fantastic that you took this experiment and turned it into something which a lot of people have a passion for can relate to. Its also great to show everyone how cool it is to read! Your determination put you in a place where most of us want to be and you showed us that its possible! We would say good luck for the future but we don't think you need it! xx

    P.S We loved the first few vids you did reading twilight, when you say "Edward" and then fall off the chair, it was hilarious!
  • SophieLouise
    It's weird to see how much can happen to someone in just one year. Good luck for the future :)
  • belladonna101
    Hey, Twilight Guy I loved your video and am amazed I just came acrossed it recently. i am an avid fan of Stephenie Meyer's books. i have read all of them twice, including Host. i read you are just starting on Breaking Dawn, and i think for 96%of it you will certainly not be disappointed. I am inquiring on the signed copy of New Moon you are giving away. I know you are picking the winner at random,but I would like to express how much it would mean to me to win it. My copy of New Moon is falling apart by the binding, and it would be totally awesome to own my very own signed copy. I am a total geek when it comes to anything about Stephenie Meyer because she got me back into reading again. I am so obsessed that I look on all the Twilight websites for updates on the upcoming flick. I even entered the be a part of New Moon contest even though I knew I didn't have a chance of winning. I know you have a tough decision to make deciding who will receive this amazing book. Please consider me. Love, Peace, Twilight
  • Kel
    Happy anniversary Kaleb, We love you! I really enjoy this site- I think you are hilarious. I'm sure we would all love for you to keep this site going after you've read Breaking Dawn, but that may be a lot to ask as I'm positive you have plenty to do already (considering your new book which i am sure to buy!). Anyways, thanks for all your posts, your contests have been awesome, and we wish you all the best!
    =]
  • Wow. It's been a year for me too since I started reading Twilight. YAY! celebrations all around. (Also, I can't wait to read The Farfield Curse. I've been following it for ages and I'm praying and hoping that I will be able to get it one day down in Australia!

  • devz30
    1 year? I can't remember how I found out about this site, I think I was just searching for random Twilight sites.. Then I remember following ever since the end of Twilight, chapter 23/24 I think, and I was like: Oh, this blog's pretty good.
    And then I started seeing your earlier posts.. haha...

  • Jennifer
    I enjoy it when I see that you're giving away something to a fan.
    It's always a delight.
    I'd love to win this time, we'll see.

    Sincerely,
    twilight/twilightguy fan
  • Chloe Cullen
    Hi Kaleb! Thanks for running this (and all of the other ones) contest!! By the way, I LOVE the cover art for the Farfield Curse. I can't wait to read it! Ooooh I was in Forks TODAY :D
  • Mekara
    congrats! i love your site, you've been amazing. and i would love the copy of new moon, it's would look super pretty on my book shelf, my old copy of new moon is a little worse for wear.
  • Elaine
    Congratulations on the 1year anniversary! i think its awsome that your reading twilight and that u can admit it because a lot of men can't. I guess its their pride that makes them not want to read it but who knows? All i know is that other people of luck on theshould follow your example and read the twilight series. All women should applaude your bravery to admit to reading the twilight books online were anyone can see. I read all the books and they were amazing!! Also best of luck on the Bran Hambric book!
  • Rachel
    OMG!!! :) I love the twilight series soooo much. The lastbookis my fav because of what happenes. I also think it is themost exciting. I am really happy so many people like it because i am crazy about Twilight and my friends thought it was weird because i wouldlook it up on youtube and have a pic of them on computer. Also Happy 1 year!!! i am soooo jealus of you because Stephanie Meyer seems really nice and it would be cool to meet her. Bye:)
  • Jenny
    So this is actually my first time visiting your site...but I like it! I just discovered the books and the movie like, 2 weeks ago. AND I'M OBSESSED.

    Super late, i know, but i've had limited access to the internet. Taking 4 ap's do that for you >.<
    But I just wanted to say congrats. You're witty, thoughtful, and insightful. Thank you for emphasizing for Jacob even though there were times I could tell you couldn't stand him, and thanks for the GREAT song choices. Near To You was perfect for New Moon, &your latest one by Anberlin (favorite band) MAKES MY DAY.

    anyways,

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
  • Carrie

  • Princess Kimmy
    Happy Anniversary Twiight Guy and the whole Kaleb Nation! I love your chapter comments (even if I don't always agree with them) and especially the male perspective. I laughed hysterically when I first started reading them. I hope you just keep writing. New Moon is the only book in my Twilight Saga that I don't have signed so I would adore a signed copy. But anyway, hang in there and Happy Anniversary!
  • belladonna101
    hey, twilight guy i love the sincerity you have professed in the 1 yr anniversary video. I would love to own a signed copy of New Moon. My copy's binding is falling apart. I have read the Saga twice already including Host which you should look into as soon as you finish breaking dawn. I am starting to read it for the third time and would love to have this particular copy to add to my collection. please consider me
  • Kim
    Congratulations on 1 year on TwilightGuy.com! What is going to happen to the site once Breaking Dawn is finished?

    I can't wait for your show tonight, I'll be tuned in!
    Sincerely,
    Beth 'BranHambricFan' :)
  • Johanne from Norway
    Congratulations with your first year as the Twilight guy! It's really fin that a guy reads Twilight and blogs about it - escpecially the way you do! You notice tiny things in the book and when you write about it I and many others get to know them too:D I'm from Norway and I absolutely love Twilight, Stephenie Meyer has the greatest imagionation of all times!! I would love to get a signed copy from her, it's amazing that you're giving it away to someone randomly, but very generous of you^^ You're lucky to have met Stephenie and the cast. Keep going and please read and blog about Midnight Sun after you've finished Breaking Dawn!!

    Keep up the good work and again, happy one-year! ;D
  • Samantha

    Wow... I would die if I got that book, in contrast to most twilight fans (and especially the Team Edward fans of whom I count myself among) New Moon is my favorite book. Please! I want it.

    btw I love the cover art for your book, it looks fantastic.
  • emiline

Hope your books get as popular as the Twilight Sage (but not more popualer of course ;-]... who knows? Maybe I'll WANT it bigger than twilight @.o) and that you become a really famous author for it. You as a person, as far as I've seen, deserve it. =]

  • i just have to try, right!?
  • kristel
    I want your signed copy of new moon for my husband Hal because he has become a big fan of SM. But he didn't start liking her from her books. He went to BYU with her and he even has pictures of her from back then, as well as my cousin. They all lived close to each other. My husband said his roommate went on some dates with her. He told me she was really cool. So....... that is why I want your copy. If you ever want to see the pictures just let me know.
    Thanks Kristel Shields
  • Jamie Jensen
    Ooh! This is my commenting. haha Your site is awesome!
  • Alicia
    hahaha kaleb, you're awesome!

  • maribel
    I became a twilight fan not so long ago. but the minute i began reading it i became obssssessssed !
    I dragged my husband to go watch the movie with me the minute i finished reading the first book.
    at about midnight after the movie we went to walmart to go buy the rest of the books and i read them all that weekend.
    (I seriously don't know how you do it to keep yourself from not reading more than 1 chapter at a time)
    I began googling twilight at work and found your site and almost peed cuz i was laughing so hard.
    I went through all the chapter post in less than 2 hours. I couldn't stop reading and i've been a devoted fan
    of twilight guy ever since.

    Congratulations on your 1 yr anniversary. I'm truly gonna miss your thoughts on the chapters when you finish reading Breaking Dawn but who knows, Stephenie Meyer will hopefully finish writing Dark High Noon :) i would love to know what you think of Edward's perspective.

    Thanks for everything Kaleb =]
  • Palmer
    Look at all these crazies sucking up just to get a signed book!!! What a bunch of brown-nosers.

    Um... can I have it? Thanks.

    No, wait- I'm not falling in line. I don't care what awesome give-aways you have. You can't make me tell you how awesome your site is... NEVER!!!

    Aw, shucks. I really want that book. And I do read your posts often. Crap. There goes my pride. I'm even starting to have a facination with gnomes lately & don't know why. Damn that Kaleb Nation. He knows how to brainwash people.
