Question: Stephenie Meyer Midnight Sun!?
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!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
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!.

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 agree with you

it IS her fault and no one else's!.
she shouldn't given it to anyone to be honest!. i mean, why would she give only a part of her book to her family and friends!? why not the whole book!? And besides, i think they should wait like all of us and read the Complete book
i don't like the fact that Stephenie just wait what!? A week!? then just come up with these "notes" saying she's note in the mood to write more!. She could have just done sometime to the leak pages if she wanted to!. but no! she just sat there watching and wait until the whole world has read it!. then she decided to even posted it herself later
i even think that it was leaked not by someone she gave the chapters to but she leaked it herself!. because, if someone has actually leaked it, she would/should have done something!.
Breaking Dawn was a big let down for a lot of people!. I think that she might just have the idea that she has lost a few fans becuase of this!. As you can see on the net, people keep posting hate mail, saying how gross and disgusting it was!. I agree, it was really bad (no offence)!. And i think Stephenie might have got the idea that people have changed their view on the books and may not read Midnight Sun when it comes out!.
She therefore (this may not be true) decided to post the first few chapters of the book illegally as if it was leaked and see if the fans would read it
this shows if the fans are still interested and also get people's attention
to me, she seem to be like a big "attention seeker"
im sorry but if sometime like this happen to me, i wouldn't just decide to just completly stop writing and leave it hanging there!. this will not only make the fans angry and mad but she would loose a lot of money!. and i don't think she will risk that!. so basically, i think she is just trying to get poeple's attention and who knows!? she might even be carrying on writing it at this very minute or even finished it
i mean, she shouldn't do this if she loves her fans
if she cares about the fans, she should really do something about it
one of them could be to carry on with the book and publish itWww@QuestionHome@Com
