I read this at Millie's blog and it has been on my mind ever since. Stephanie shares her pain of being betrayed by someone. Someone took it upon themselves to leak her unedited, unfinished copy of Edward's Twilight version, Midnight Sun. She has decided to shelve her plans to publish it indefinitely.
Here is my plea to Stephanie Meyer
Stephanie,
I am asking you to reconsider your decision to shelve Midnight Sun. There are those out there who will hurt others. Whether it was to get gain or to just hurt you they still managed to hurt you. Recently, I read about the haters of Breaking Dawn. I don't understand fully their response. I can take the research and make deductions to come up with plausible reasons, but the real reason isn't known until I sit down with each one and find out more information.
You have provided many women with good reading material. Women who don't want to read smut, but love a good romance that is well written. You have a following of loyal supporters, that support you because you are an amazing author. Not because you graduated from BYU. Not because you attend a particular church. But because you have brought high quality literacy to our homes.
I was a hold out. My blogging friends were raving about Twilight. I held out. I am not a fan of fantasy novels; at least pre-Twilight I wasn't a fan of fantasy genre. My grandmother asked me to return a book to my mom. She handed me Twilight. I decided to read the book before I returned it to my mom. She was in no hurry to get it back. I now own every book of the series- in hard back. I've read each book more than once. I have read the first chapter on Midnight Sun about 7 times. I love how intellectual Edward is. He thinks a lot. I do to. My love of Edward multiplied and became deeper after reading chapter 1.
Don't let the mean, rude, evil, impulsive people stop you from what I think is going to be your most amazing work. Don't let them stop you from your talent. That would be like burying it. Please, Don't Let Them Win!!!!!!
I would love to be a prereader of your book to help with errors. It's what I do for fun. I know myself and many others that wouldn't allow your precious work to be violated, in turn violating you.
Please reconsider your decision and take a few months to grieve the loss of trust, the loss of power over your work, your investment. Then come back to work on Midnight Sun and embed Edward into our hearts even deeper than he already is (Except for Tori- Jacob is hers- and my 13 y/o daughter- she likes Seth).
Sincerely,
Klin
Keeper of the Jungle and
Stephanie Meyer Fan
PS- I loved the Host. It was great. An interesting line of thinking that really got me thinking.
Do you agree? I think we should all beg Stephanie to be strong and fight back. If you're private you'll have to invite her to read your plea.
