I completely agree with your post Kaleb. My heart breaks for her over what happened in `08… I'm a new Twilighter, having previously ignored the uproar of Twilight saga craze, but my sister insisted that I read “Twilight” and so I submitted to her will to appease her. I've read the posted draft of “Midnight Sun” from Stephenie Meyer's website, and I do think it is amazing, and it adds such a wonderful and unique dimension to the whole series. I feel the worst for Ms. Meyer though, because you can tell that she really was chomping at the bit to get Edward's side down on paper, and you can tell that her heart is broken that she cannot complete the masterpiece that “Midnight Sun” would end up being…. not that it isn't already a masterpiece. I don't feel punished, I don't feel cheated. I feel that Stephenie Meyer has every right to feel what she feels, and betrayal must only be the tip of the iceburg of the emotions she's gone through over this scandal.

Uhm… I think I have to disagree. I mean, the 'childish' part is somewhat true. I'm a writer too, and I think that her action does not resemble an author's spirit. Dropping a book just because someone leaked it, and ranting about it on her site is not something that I would call very wise. A real, serious writer wouldn't give up just like that, and definitely wouldn't rant like that in front of her fans. So, if my friend somehow leaked my story to the net (which I doubt she would, and it wouldn't matter much anyway since I'm not that popular), I wouldn't rant on my page, and drop the book just like that. I would need more time to gather the writing spirit, yes, but I would still continue it, and maybe change the story a little bit so that it will come out rather different than the one which was leaked. I still think that Stephenie's action is somewhat disappointing. And she did revealed that she is not a respectable author by doing that.

I feel upset that she is not proceeding on with Midnight Sun. I haven't even read and I know it will be great, I have faith in her. I hope she will continue writing, and finishing the book. Many of my friends have said that it's wonderful, but I will not ruin the moment that it comes out. I will be the first in line to get the book that will change our very way of seeing life, and love.

"She's making it seem like it's the end of the world."

Oh, how so?

"Did she drop her career and spend the rest of her life moaning about how life sucks?"

No, of course not. Do you see her announcing that she's quitting her career as writer? I certainly have not.

"Steph IS acting childish. She needs to set an example at least... in the form of finishing MS. She's letting the "haterz" bring her down. And since I guess I'm considered one of those haterz, she's letting me win, I guess. STOP IT STEPH. Gosh."

Yeah, gosh, like, gosh. This is irony right here. You know, if you're going to criticize someone's character, it might be good to remember not to act like the very character you're criticizing.
