Question: Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer draft!?
Do you agree with me when I say that Stephenie Meyer is being a little too dramatic about having her partial draft of Midnight Sun illegaly posted!? I mean it's kind of her fault in the first place!. She shouldn't have been handing out copies to her family and friends!. It's totaly understandable that she would give a copy to her editor/editors but to her friends!? I mean is she stupid!? What was she thinking!? Say that you are the author of five bestselling novels!. Wouldn't you think that if you just handed out lots of drafts that there would be a great chance of one or more of those drafts ending up in the wrong hands!? No offense to you die-hard Stephenie Meyer fans out there, but what she did was irresponsible in my oppinion!. What annoys me is that she doesn't take even a part of the responsibility for her actions!. All she does is mope and whine (she reminds me of Bella)!. I don't really blame her for being mad, because she must have put a lot of hard work into the story!. But she's being sort of childish because she's dissapointing her fans by not finishing the book!. It is her book, and she can do whatever the hell she wants, but I'll loose a lot of respect for Meyer if she doesn't finish it because it just shows you that she doesn't care enough about her fans to give them what they've been looking foward to since Midnight Sun was even mentioned!. I don't want to sound mean, but she really needs to suck it up and not let her millions of fans down!. And when the draft was first leaked, why didn't she take immediate action and retrieve the drafts she had given out!? Why did she just sit for a week and let things fall into place!? And is it really a huge deal that only one fourth of her book was posted!? All of her books are posted online in hundreds of places at this time!. If she were to finish the book and publish it, all of it would be posted online after it was published anyway!. And what's with all the drama!? I can't believe this whole "wrong state of mind" stuff!. But!.!.!.it's her descision!. I'm not going to cry or be upset if she doesn't finish it!. I just believe that she's being a bit too dramatic thats all!. I also think that she's letting down her fans and she's not accepting the fact that she was irresponsible!. Do you agree with me, or do you think that i'm full of crap and that I don't know what I'm talking about!?

And just to let you know, I read the draft of Midnight Sun and I wasn't all that crazy about it!. It was kinda boring because Edward seems like such a one-demensional character to me!. Please don't attack me for saying this!.!.just expressing my oppinion here!.

I agree with you and every person who asks about whether or not Midnight Sun will be released gets the same answer from me- "when she is finished throwing her temper tantrum and gets over herself, yes"
She has no one to blame but herself and she is being inconsiderate to her fans by not publishing it; it was her mistake, not her fans' mistake!. She is punishing the wrong people!. I liked Twilight but thought the other books, especially the fourth one, were rushed!.

Midnight Sun is only interesting because you see what Edward thinks and how he feels!. Its kinda cool to know where he is during those mysterious disapperances, but it too seems very rushed, and she's not even done!. Its almost like she wants to hurry up and get stuff out so people aren't mad!. If she keeps that up she's gonna lose fans cause the writting will start sucking (if it hasn't started already!.)

So, you're not full of crap!. :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

friends=trust!.

steph obviously trusted her friends, stop bugging her about it, its her draft, her book, her idea so even if you dont like her, keep it to yourself!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree!.
Imagine if you wrote a story-or anything, really!. who would you rather have read it first, a close friend/family member or someone who just is sucking up to you for the money they get off of you!?
Personally, I hate having other people read things I've written because I always feel that it isn't good enough, especially if it was unedited!. my drafts absolutely SUCK, so I can understand why she is upset that a draft was leaked!.
I hope she does finish it and publish it!. I haven't read the draft yet, but want to someday!. I kind of hope that she'll say she's resuming the project before I read the draft, so I don't have to!.
we all have our own opinions, and yours is understandable, but I certainly don't think she's over reacting!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Get ready for my rant!.

Yes, I think Meyer is being really irresponsible and dramatic!. With this little stunt, Meyer has just proven herself for the hack author that she really is!. It's her fault for being reckless and irresponsible!.

When Midnight Sun was leaked, she practically gave it one week to make its way around the internet before she came out with that note of hers!. She should have taken immediate action at once! Not wait for her drafts to be swimming around!. Why can't she just come out and admit it was her fault!? She's even too proud to admit it!.

And why did she give out her drafts to her family and friends like they were candy!? That's so stupid!. I really don't like the way she's trying to protect the leaker!. It leads me to believe that she was the one who leaked it herself!. What, so can have the spotlight to herself!? Is Ms!. Meyer lacking attention because of the horrible reviews Breaking Dawn got!?

When your work is leaked, just take it all in and continue to write!. There is no need for drama the way Meyer handled it!. When Rowling's HP was leaked, she just shrugged it off and continued on!. Did you ever read a tearful letter from Rowling saying that she'll stop working on HP because she was violated as a human being!? No, because Rowling isn't full of drama and whining!.

I knew it, Stephenie is an amateur hack author!. She's acting like a troubled teen instead of a 34-year-old mother of three!. People who are trying to defend her just can't grasp the truth of what Meyer really is!. They're just too in love with Twilight that they can't see the facts!.

I'm glad that even though you like the series, you still opened your eyes to the truth behind the leak!. Not like the die-hard fans here who go "STEPHENIE MEYER IS MY HERO!!!! I LOVE HER BUKS!!!"

i completely agree!. this is why i dont like stephenie meyer she is such a drama queen!. dont get me wrong if someone posted my book before i was done id be pissed, but i wouldnt make such a huge deal about it and punish all my fans!. its ludacris the way shes acting!. personally though i loved the first 12 chapters but it could just be, because im a die hard team edward fanWww@QuestionHome@Com

wow, a lot of writing!.

but yeah, im disappointed that midnight sun isnt going to come out now!. she has made so much money with the twilight saga and i am a huge fan of the books!. when i first found out through her web page, i was so sad and disappointed to find out that the book that i was hoping to read would never come out anymore!. i think that giving it to her family was her choice and not ours, and maybe some of her family are fans of the book too!. but it just shows that some family members cant be trusted!. i also think that not taking action was kinda stupid!. in an article on her web page, it stated that she was quite angry with the person who put it on the internet, so i wish she could have taken more action to the cause instead of just letting it go and continue with life!.
i also wish that midnight sun can be released but i know that won't happen anytime soon!. but maybe in the future!. !. !. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I completely agree! I wish she'd quit blaming her fans and trying to send them on guilt trips!. She should step up, and take it like it is!. So some parts of it got leaked!. BIG DEAL!. It's not the first time it's ever happened!. A lot of authors' books do get leaked!. You don't see them whining!. Maybe Meyer wants her fans to stroke her ego!. And I agree with you on your second point as well!. The draft (I only got up to page 33) was horrifying!. She uses the word chagrin as if it's the only word in the dictionary!. I wouldn't even mind it that much if she used it correctly but she doesn't!.

Meyer claims she was violated as a human being!. I find this to be extremely ironic considering she is a self-proclaimed misanthropist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with you!. She handed out the draft to probably over 10 people!. What was she thinking!?!?!! I just think that she's probably the more emotional kind of person!. And maybe she thinks that!.!. "Hey, now I have an excuse to delay my writing!. I can laze of a little!." So yeah!. And yes, I agree with you too about, she should finish the book, for the fans' sake!.

I've only read the first two chapters of Midnight Sun!. I stopped because my eyes hurt since I was staring at the computer screen for so long!. also, it was not as excited as I expected it to be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
