Midnight Sun Leak

1. Oh my god, what is wrong with you people? I do not see how you think this piece of crap book can be considered literature. It is nothing more than a poorly written Mary Sue. Her reaction to the leak was in fact immature. She threatened to not publish it at all after the leak. That is rather childish. Also, there is no point to threaten me, make personal attacks or question my intelligence. I have a master’s degree in literature. I know what I am talking about.

2. I think that Stephenie must be beside herself, one of her friends that she trusted with a copy of the unfinished version of Midnight Sun published it and made her look like such a shmuck because, now people are saying that this is all just a publicity scam, but I know it isn’t, she’s just beside herself over it, there is no possible way that soemone can just fake all this anger and hurt and uphappyness, it just isn’t possible.

3. I think that Stephenie should realize that this isn’t anyones fault but her own. I love Twilight, and I love Miss Myers, but honestly, manuscripts of personal works should not be frivolously distributed.

   Authors have their works leaked all the time, but still continue to write, publish, and sell their works to their fans. Stephenie should take this out on the individual who leaked her work, because it is said that she knows who has, and she notes that it was ‘not of malicious intent’. It obviously made her mad enough to halt writing, so why does said person get the gratitude of watching her crumble when all of her fans, who have done nothing but support her don’t get to see her shine?

   Why she would post the confidence breaking leak on her website is beyond me. It should have been removed from the internet, and public exposure if she felt this strongly. (Publicity stunt? Who knows at this point. But honestly, if it was, then Why? She has a huge fanbase the way it is, why commit such dishonesty towards those fans?)

   Twilight is now a cultural phenomenon, and it would be wrong of her to break that over a small stupid incident such as an internet leak. Some have chosen not to read it, and others have, but either way every fan wants to have a published copy to stand on their bookshelves to support one of the many talented authors of our time.

4. Wow yes,,i have read it on the internet on now i feel horrible because i cant FINISH it because the rest of it isnt out..
   Stepanie Meyer, I really hope you can put all this behind you and finish the rest of the book. The chapters that i did read were Soooo good and now that i cant finish the rest of it im not going to be able to stop thinking about until the full complete copy is out. Ughh but things happen. But i am really confused on how it could of got leaked in the first place??? Whoever did it must be a very distrustful person. Anyways Stepanie i really appreciate your hard work on all the twilight books they are awesome.

5. It was at least a semi-natural reaction though. As a very young teenager I wrote stuff, but I was paranoid about my family seeing it because it wasn't finished or edited, so it was directly as I'd written it rather than checked to see if I felt comfortable showing them. This is significantly different, of course, as it was going to be published eventually, but no one would be able to have a little under half of their story leaked and still be able to continue on immediately through anger.

   Generally, yes, you'd expect the author to carry on and finish the book, even if it's at a slower pace, but she should do what she's comfortable with. If that's putting the story on hold indefinitely then, ultimately, it's her choice, even though hopefully she'll be able to get back to it sometime soon. I don't see how it would help, how it would be different writing shortly afterwards or a while afterwards, but who but Stephenie knows how she can best handle this?

6. I know!! As I was nearing that, it was like 'please reach the kiss, please reach the kiss, I like knowing what the other person in the story is thinking when major character stuff like that happens, please reach the kiss'.

7. Considering that most authors write primarily for enjoyment, especially with books like this, and the fact that the main series was such a success, I really don't think 'getting paid' for Midnight Sun would be that big a priority for her. If she was desperate to finish it just to get paid on it (as we know it's not like she 'needs' needs the money), that would be being immature.

8. Okay, a couple of things:

   1. I never thought about the leak that way, in the fact that the story's just the different perspective. It'd still make it weird writing the rest – especially editing the first part, wanting it to be edited properly like normal, while also being better than the leaked version and having to consider how different you should make it – but, while the story shouldn't have been linked, I get what you're saying with the whole 'the main events weren't a secret'…

   2. Stephenie Meyer didn't make sure her fans didn't get a copy of the unfinished manuscript, she posted it on the Internet so people didn't have to feel like they were betraying her to read it. I did read the version she put up; I wouldn't have read it if she hadn't. Reading it early will make reading the finished book, if she decides to continue it, different, but how many people have seen clips from halfway through a movie or heard of a scene later in the book and still managed to read it?

   3. Yes, hopefully she will be able to continue writing despite this. But she shouldn't have to work through a leak.

9. I am so crazy about the twilight saga that I have read in 4 times in the last 4 weeks!! I just read the partial draft od Midnight sun and I am so in need of more. Stephanie Meyers writing is so amazing and hypnotic that I cant help but crave more!! I really hope that she reads these comments because I really want her to know how I feel about these books. I am a 42 yr old mom of 2 who was in a complete rut when I saw the movie Twilight. As soon as I saw it I went and bought the Saga. I read all 4 books in less than 2 weeks. I couldnt wait to finish just so i could read it all over again!! These books did something to me both phyisically and mentally. I stopped watching Television because nothing on would compare to reading these books. I lost 20 lbs because I wasnt sitting in front of the TV anymore. I feel in love with the character edward cullen. Please finish Midnight sun!! I have read the first 263 pages that you have posted on your website 4 times, and i keep checking to see if there has been more added. Even if you post the whole book on your website, I will still buy it if it is published because I would love to have the Hard copy in my hands!

10. i totally agree with jodifen! i'm a 24yr old mother of 2 and i have also given up tv because i recently fell in love with the twilight series. i love how the books just absorb you in and you dont want to stop reading(hypnotic). its been a long time since ive found a book that can do that and now i have 4!. But I want more!!! i dont just love edward i love every character and i am so desperate for my next twilight fix!! im dying to read edwards view!
    i understand that the person who posted steph meyer's midnight sun on the net broke her confidences but by saying that she's not going to write midnight sun now is only utimately punishing her fans, because we are the ones that desperately want to read it! i have read a lot of what fans are saying and we all(most) have read the first12 chapters draft and loved it!! (i personally wouldn't change a thing of what she's written in those chapters, besides the typos). but just because i have read those first 12 chapters(it didnt even get to the meadow seen) doesn't mean i wouldnt buy i book.I WANT THE BOOK, PLEASE :). i'll be one of the first in line here in australia!

    the moment what frustrates me most is that this person who dowloaded it has disapointed us all! a lot of people had been waiting for this book to come out before i even knew about it and it got canceled indefinately! i'v only known about it for 2 days and i'm wishing it was published already so i could read it. :(. But the worst part is that we(the fans) dont even know if its even going to be written, we could be hanging out for the rest of our lives waiting for this book to get published(and we would) and it might never be.( it makes me literally cry just to think of that, i want that book so badly). i wish steph meyer could tell us that she has decided to write it(for sure) least then we would know that it is coming sometime in the future. PLEASE WRITE IT FOR US, YOUR FANS!!:)

11. i was really upset to hear about what had happened to the first draft of midnight sun and stephanie has my deepest sympathy .I am also so very happy to know that she is still going to carry on with midnight sun because the first three books were amazing and i am just so eager to read midnight sun. Oh and i think your website is really cool. xx

12. yes i do feel sorry for stephine and iam in love with her work just like everyone else on this site and i also respect the way she feels about the leak no matter what we say its not gonna change her mind you dont want to rush her cause then the books gonna suck but hopefully the book will be great otherwise she is gonna lose ALOT of fans for making everyone wait for a book that came out below par now the bar is raised on her though iam not doubting her i also hope that the next book whenever it comes out isnt the last book either i hope the book comes out soon and i support stephine in all her work for those of you who havent read the host get a copy its GREAT! not better then twilight but great all the same

13. HEYY I LOVE TWILGHT!!:D:D

14. Midnight Sun is still going to be published just much later then stephanie had planned, i've read part of it from the link on stephanie meyers website and its such a good opening, im looking forward to reading the rest if stephanie still decides to continue publishing it.
    There will always be someone who does this sort of thing, didnt j.k rowling go through something similar?, it just depends on how the authors deal with it.

15. In my point of view how many people knew about the leak.? Who knew about this before she brought it up. I've asked almost every Twilight fan I know and they were just waiting for Midnight Sun to come out. I think you are over reacting about just not writing the books. The least you could do was finish it and put it on here. Yes, I understand how upset you are about the leak but, I honestly have to say you are over reacting. No offence. It just upsets me to see how hard you worked on all these books to just drop Midnight Sun like it was never even written.! It disappoints me that people just can not wait. I feel soo sorry about the leak but Breaking Dawn leaked also. I THINK I COULD SPEAK FOR ALLLLL THE TWILIGHT SAGA FANS. STEPHENIE IF YOU COULD FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FINISH WRITING MIDNIGHT SUN OR WRITE A NEW BOOK WE WOULD ALL BE HAPPY. AND I KNOW WE WOULD ALL BE WILLING TO PUT A PROTEST UP ABOUT ILLEAGAL COPYWRITE. PLEASEEE PLEASEEE PLEASEEE WE WOULD LOVEEE TO READ THIS BOOK OR AT LEAST ANOTHER ONE. THE BOOKS DRAW YOU IN AND ARE BREATH TAKING. PLEASE STEPHENIE FIND IT IN YOU TO FINISH THIS BOOK. WE LOVE YOU AND THE CULLENS/BLACKS<33333

    With Love,
    Kaylie

16. i have read the first 12 chapters of midnight sun in stephenies website and i was completely blown away! i just cant wait for her to finish the book and hopefully publish it!! im crossing my fingers!!!!!!!!!! i really liked the 12 chapters because in the four books its all about bella and her inner thoughts and it was just very interesting and amusing to finally know edwards point of view and feelings.

17. why….why cant she just fucking stop? is it not bad enough that she gave vampires ultimately NO defect and they cant even be beaten with sunlight? WTF?!?! but nooooooooo they have to turn all gay and sparkly like ryan seacrest in a rainbow rave…….you know why you people are so hooked on a vampire with no defect? because you people know that all of you…have the biggest defects in the world….so you want to be unstoppable….your pathetic…stephanie meyer is retarded….and she deserves…to be tied to a tree….and rather than stoned to death….i want to throw big hard back copies all her twilight books at her until she is rindered lifeless and beaten into a pulp…..and i swear to god if i ever see one of you twilight freaks crossing my path and i have to hear any nausiating blabber about edward or jacob (even you guy fans want their nuts….dont think i havent heard your gay fantasies) then im going to take a wooden steak and drive it through your FUCKING HEARTS!!!! oh and by the way i dont have to fucking respect a cunt bitch like stephanie meyer and no fucking petition is going to make me stop ranting about twilight and if i ever get my hands on a book she hasnt released yet…ILL LEAK THAT SHIT OUT TO THE PUBLIC TOO i dont give a damn if her fucking feelings got hurt when someone leaked that shit, she should have stopped a long time ago….like right after book one….no…before book one…..Stephanie Meyer and the college roommate that she stole the idea for twilight from deserve to die….slowly and painfully through various methods of torture and experimentations
    if Anne Rice were alive she would kick her ass

18. You spelled “rendered” wrong. Amongst countless other errors.

19. reading breaking dawn it brill. Bella marrys edward and he gets her pregnant…. OMG!! she has a vampire baby inside her and it drinks her blood and it is killing her so edward doesnt want to bite her so he injects her with his vampire venom and she becomes a vampire!!

20. I think you've ruined the book for everyone not only will we never probably know the end because stephenie doesn't even want to really publish it now its been leaked but even if she does publish it all the true fans who would never have leaked it are waiting ages for it to be published so thanks for that ! ew not

21. I think your mentally disturbed why does a book bother you so much??? just because people like the story of twilight doesn't make them pathetic! your the pathetic one thinking up ways to stone stephenie meyer to death whats wrong with you?? you don't like the book fair enough but don't be such a sycho about people you've never met by people you've never met i mean twilight fans… i know what you mean about stephanie making them more like super heros than vampires but still thats her adaption on vampires get over it you weirdooo

22. first three books? theres four books told from bella's point of view midnight sun it the same first book again told from edwards point of view i just thought id tell you coz u dint reli seem to get it p.s I LOVE TWILIGHT

23. i was waiting for that and now i wont get to read it! now all of the fans who were waiting for it will download the illegal version since its never coming out! Poor Stephanie…whoever leaked it should acknowledge what they have done.RUIN THE WHOLE SERIES FOR EVERYBODY WHO WAS WAITING FOR MORE.THEY CAUSED MAJOR SUPER DISAPPOINTMENT,AND SADNESS for all of the Twilight fans.

24. yo i in to twilight but i want more then the 4 books and im having problems trying to read on stephenie meyers website do u have it on the site and im just missing it or u dont have it up

25. stephenie, please continue midnight sun. please!!!!!!

26. It is sad that part of her book has been leak i have not fished the last book yet but all the one i have fished were really good. i hope that Stephenie will continue to right the midnight sun and not let this stop her from telling the story form a different perspective .

27. yes i already know about the first 12 chapters in that site. i wanna know when it will be published damn it!

28. Stehanie please finish in your own time, we all all anxiously waiting. I couldn't even get into the movies, until after i read the books, then after I fell in love with the books, only taking me 5 wks to read them all, and I have to jobs and 4 kids, to work around, I then got into the movies. I haven't picked up a book since high school, and i'm 35 years old, but I couln't put yours down, even read the draft you posted on your website, allowing us to read, with your permission. Thank you for that, it's wonderful so far. So if you can see in your heart to finish, it would be great.

29. I think that its not fair to all the people that have supported Stephanie thus far with the Twilight Saga. Who cares if some of it leaked out. That person shouldn't ruin it for the rest of us. I feel like she is treating us like children and we are all being punished for some thing we had no part in.

30. She shouldn't have stopped writing midnight sun, just because it was leaked, because it's as if she's 'punishing' the person who leaked it by letting everyone have their way. This should have been handled more maturely. I liked that she posted her publisher's e-mail adress on her site to report any websites that have leaked this book. That was a better thing to do, rather than hesitate to write the book.

31. i really really want stephanie to finish midnight sun i really want to see how it ends i mean seeing twilight through edwards eyes will be so awesome and i think she should write compiolations of the other books too in the eyes of some of the other characters i think that would be so cool

32. i am ALL 4 pursuading stephenie to finish midnight sun, but i found something on wikipedia that you should read. here it is:

    On August 28, 2008, Meyer halted the writing of Midnight Sun in response to the illegal leak of twelve chapters of the unfinished manuscript on the Internet. She stated, “If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.
    In a November 2008 interview, Meyer said that, “It's really complicated, because everyone now is in the driver's seat, where they can make judgment calls. […] I do not feel alone with the manuscript. And I cannot write when I don't feel alone.”[5] She said that her goal was to go for around two years without hearing about Midnight Sun, and she thought that she would begin working on the novel again once she was sure that “everyone's forgotten about it”.

33. I want to read Midnight Sun legally but I can not find it. I have read the first 12 chapters on Stephanie Meyer's Website but want to read the rest. Where can I read it?

34. I' m half an half on the situation. I know people wanted and were excited about Midnight Sun but that does not give them the right to steal it. Stephanie Meyer shouldn't stop writing it because this problem should not stop her from what she is good at, but whoever downloaded Midnight Sun but they should be ashamed of themselves. They needed to wait like the rest of us were an now they spoiled the whole thing.

35. we respect your views and opinion ms. meyer but we do hope that in time you'll find yourself putting up the pieces for midnight sun,to let us really know what edward insights are towards bella. thank you so much and good luck.

36. I read Midnight Sun because everyone was making a fuss about it and once i started reading it I didn't want to stop! Stephenie is a great writer and i'm upset that someone posted Midnight Sun without primission, but it was really good and she shouldn't stop because someone was stupid!

37. I really hope you find the joy to finish midnight sun or to even write more books of twilight..It is the best. I hate to read and yet I have read every book so far.I love them.

38. I really hope you find the joy to finish midnight sun or to even write more books of twilight..It is the best. I hate to read and yet I have read every book so far.I love them.

39. This makes me very sadened that millions of people can look forward to something so big and then some loser has to come around and wreck everything for everyone else like how rude is that

40. I refuse to read Midnight Sun, before I can buy the book! I read all the 4 other books in Danish, so my Twilight-world is in Danish. I really want to read the story from Edwards perspektive! Of course I can imagne many of the thoughts, he must have heard though the story, but it is not the same! I have just finished the last book daybreak, I think it is called in English, and I would love to read all 4 books “again” trough Edward. The same story, but from his perspektive. Is ther any news AT ALL about how Stephenie Meyer is doing? About if she is going to write the story? I can't find anything about it – ANYWHERE…! I really want to read it – when she finishes it!

41. just found out about this leak and am devastated after reading chapter one on the stephenie meyer website am totally jacked because its amazing and now because of some random moron who knows when she will ever finish and publish midnight sun luckily for me have just started reading host and its just as amazing as the twilight saga though i really think there should be another novel added to the saga devoted to renesme that would be awsome

42. omg i found the rest of midnigfht sun on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if u want the link just reply…

43. I think that’s a great idea to have another novel added to the saga devoted to renesme

44. When I first read about the leak I was upset for Stephenie Meyer because. Now however, 3 years later, I am angry with Stephenie Meyer for letting down her fans. To not even let people know for sure if she is going to write it at all !!!! Thats not exceptable! I mean like come one! JK Rowling had the ending of the 7th Harry Potter book leaked! That is 100 times worse than the leak of part of an uncompleted book that everyone already knows the plot of.

    She needs to suck it up and think of her fans, not just herself.

45. hey
    i just wanted you and stephy to know that i dont care how bad that i want to read that book. the person that leaked it probably feels so guilty that they have  crushed the dreams of tons of twihards. but i think that they diserve all of it. the hateful comments, the hideous remarks. its all true and needs to be said. so i wont encourage that person to do it again by not reading the un-finished book and i hope stephy forgives that person enough to finish the book and thrill her fans

46. i really wanted to read it

47. “Leak of Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer | Twilight Guy – with Kaleb Nation” ended up being a beneficial posting.
    If only there were way more websites similar to this
    particular one on the actual world-wide-web. Well, thanks for your personal time, Brain

48. It’s her own fault. She gave copies of the manuscript to a bunch of people to read and is surprised it got leaked? What an idiot. Yeah, it’d be nice to trust people, but if you WANT this book to be completely unleaked and top-secret then don’t trust anyone with COPIES of it.

    She is mad because deep down she knows it’s all her fault, but she is in denial so she blames others.
