A guy reads Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (2009-2011)

My Not-So-Farewell To twilightguy.com

by Kaleb Nation

by Kaleb Nation

It is with a mixture of hope and regret that I write this: my final post for twilightguy.com.

At least, that is how I originally planned to begin this post.

My ‘farewell’ to the Twilight fandom has been written for about four months now, because I knew the day would come when I finished the books and would need to move on to my own writing. But after I finished the last chapter of Breaking Dawn, and looked back on all the great memories I’ve made in the Twilight fandom, I found that I wasn’t ready to leave all of you wonderful people behind quite yet. So, as for now, twilightguy.com is here to stay!

I have a book tour coming up, which will take most of my time in the coming month, but I’m up to sticking to this blog and all of you wonderful readers if you’ll bear with my fewer posts during that time (to keep up with me then, you can follow me on Twitter). Since I won’t be doing chapter reviews anymore (at least, until Stephenie writes more in the Twilight saga!) my site will be posting more video features, news, guy stories, special features, stuff from readers and enormously epic contests!

Speaking of contests…

WIN BREAKING DAWN, SIGNED BY STEPHENIE MEYER!

Yes, Stephenie Meyer Touched This (Unless She Wears Signing Gloves)
Yes, Stephenie Meyer Touched This (Unless She Wears Signing Gloves)

What better way to celebrate my finishing of the Twilight Saga, and my happy decision to continue writing here, than an epic contest? This book is my very own, hand-signed copy of Breaking Dawn, autographed by Stephenie Meyer herself. I’m giving it away to one of you, who have stuck with me through these many and long months of my slow reading through the Saga.

To enter, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post! The winner will be chosen randomly.

As everyone knows, I started this site with a notice at the top bearing these words:

Attention: This is NOT REALLY a Twilight Fansite. I cannot honestly be called a ‘Twilighter’ yet. This site is about me reading the books for the first time. I am not a ‘Twi-hard’ or any other name for the fans of Stephenie Meyer. However, I am a reader. And I am a guy. I may be one of the first guys to read Twilight and actually admit it. But I’m only doing it as research and not because I’m curious. At least, that is my alibi.

As of today, I’ve taken it down. Because now, I am happy to have read the Twilight Saga; I am happy to be a part of this wonderful family of fans, and I’m proud to be known as The TwilightGuy.

  11. Aw Kaleb, I'm so glad you're sticking around as the Twilight Guy!
    The future look so bright for you right now.
    I can't wait to see what you have in store for us on this site, and I can't wait to read your book.
    Keep being awesome, dude. 🙂

  15. *Enters Contest* And now a kinda long note-

    I've actually have never read a single one of your posts about you reading a chapter of one of the twilight books and then blogging about it. (Unless this one counts?) lol, I found you because while wandering around Youtube, saw one of your videos and clicked on your blogTV link. It happened that you were live at that moment so I watched, laughed a lot, was kinda terrified about all the inside jokes that I had no clue about (Still don't get all of them, but that's okay 🙂 and I subscribed. I've never got around to actually reading any of the “Twilight Guy” posts, even though that's how I found you(I think of myself as a mild Twilighter). So there's my “Conversion story” as I like to call it. I'm sure people are sad about you being done with Twilight, but just I'm just saying that you're stuck with me being a fan, unless you do something totally crazy and blogging about Hannah Montana. Then I may have to rethink my subscription. 😉
    Okay, that's all,
    Ky

  16. Dude, this is sad…can't believe it's over. You should've prepared us for this0.o. Can't wait for 9-9-09:D

  17. I really would have missed your amazing comments if you had taken the site down! I'm so happy you're sticking around and hopefully, if Stephanie publishes more Twilight books, we will be able to read your hilarious comments and view the funny photoshopped pictures.

  18. yayyy glad you are staying. 🙂 I always enjoyed reading your blogs. Good luck with everything and i am soooo glad you are staying. You are the one and only Twilight Guy. 🙂

  20. I can't wait to see what other wonderful things happen to you in the future! And when I get my paycheck, you'll be getting at least $20 of it for your Bran Hambric novel~ Good luck!

  22. This seems really surreal that you've posted your last Twilight post. Maybe you should start BranHambricGuy.com since you are THE Bran Hambric guy. 😀 Still, sad to see the twilight posts come to an end. Btw, thanks for doing this. Most guys wouldn't admit to reading the books let alone post about them. I guess there's always the New Moon, Eclipse & Breaking Dawn movie premiers. You know you'll have to go to them, right? Again, thanks for sharing your POV and for all the little extras along the way. 🙂

  23. Kaleb,
    Thank you for staying here with us. Of course we will wait for you. Thank you for what you have brought to the fandom.

  24. I was pretty sure you would do a contest or something like that, you're just that awesome (: It's great you don't shut it down and that you'll post time to time.
    I really like your site. It's because of it, and you so, that I'm part of the Twilight fandom. I just realized that last February, after I saw and read Twilight, I made some research on it, and fell upon your Facebook page. Then I discovered your site, and YouTube (well your contest) and Twitter. And now, I have met such lovely people from all around the world! I still can't believe that 4 books and a movie nearly changed my life and my way to see things. So thanks for everything, really :'D
    Now, it's the beginning of a great adventure for you, with Bran Hambric. And who knows, maybe, someday, there will be a “branhambricgirl/guy” site ;D

  26. Ahh! You can't leave us 🙁 We will miss you so. But I still congratulate you on all of your success. 🙂

    Lotsa Love, Felicia <3 😀

  27. Glad you're going to stick around… when something you “tell yourself you need an alibi for” becomes a true passion, it gets hard to quit =]

  28. Kaleb you are awesome! Your reviews always kept me entertained.

    & signed book? Yes I am definitely wanting that right now. Lolll

  30. Kaleb….You've done an amazing job at sharing your thoughts and feelings while reading twilight. The series from a guys perspective is great and I love to read what you think of it….sarcasm, seriousness, and all!

    Good luck with your book and “new” life in California!

  31. such a sad day! your journey has been interesting to follow!! I'm glad to have you as a fellow Twilighter and I look forward to hearing more from you in the NEAR future (near future meaning KEEP US UPDATED!)

    peace.love.twilight.
    -Ashley

  32. The only thing better than owning an autographed copy of Breaking Dawn is owning the book you read through and blogged about!! I'll be honest, I want it badly. I'm a collector and this would be the ultimate thing to add to my Twilight/HP shelf!!

  36. Kaleb,

    You have been one of the only guys I know that would ever lay a finger on the Twilight Saga. Thank you for giving it your all and creating this site as you did your readings. Good luck with all your goals and dreams and may your book a bestseller!!!

    Sincerley,
