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.

  5. Thank You Kaleb for the multiple hilarities found in every post. I truly enjoyed every moment. Your site was the site that got me into the Twilight Saga and your site has remained my favorite twilight fandom site. I will continue to fallow you in your many endeavours whether it be your blogs, youtube videos, or your book( which I plan to read asap even if i am extremely busy in college at the moment.) I loved how sincere the last two posts were. It is a dedication to how nice the fandom of Twilight is.
    Love,
    Rachel Smith

  24. Congrats on finishing the twilight saga! Happy day for you i suppose. Sad too no more chapters to read i never wanted them to end! Stephenie Meyers shes amazing author BUT so are you too Kaleb. Good luck in the future (:

  25. I'm soooooo happy. I especially liked how you took down that sign that you were not a fan yet. I'm soooo happy that you'll be keeping the site up. Just to let you know, you are such an inspiration. I'm a 12 year old boy, and my dream is to be an author. You had an idea in your head since 14, and here it is a real book. Again, I'm soooo happy, and I can't wait to see you on your book tour coming up!

  33. *JOY* I couldn't get on and couldn't get on so I chilled for a few minutes and was really wanting to know what the deal was b/c I was hoping that you'd come to your senses and decide to leave it up…. and now you are SSOOOOO I am very happy and I just wanna say that your insight to the books actually opened my eyes to some things that I missed… Thanks for the time and effort that you spent making us (your fans) happy!!! We <3 you!!

  34. Type your comment here. Loved following you on twilightguy, meeting you at midnight dvd party in Hollywood and cant wait to have you sign my copy of Bran Hamrick! Love the tweets too!!

  37. I'm not going to say, “I'll miss you!” Because I know we're going to see a lot more of you.
    Once again, congratulations on everything 🙂

  39. so glad the site is here to stay,

    good luck with your book tour && etc

    welcome to the twilight fandom 🙂

  40. I did not know about your blog until breaking dawn and am so upset that i didn't start following it sooner. I did not start reading the saga until this summer and read it twice through. Now i have another fix on my twilight fixation…the rest of your reviews of the other 3 books. Thanks for posting about your experience with the series and giving up your sighed breaking dawn. Whoever wins it is going to be very lucky and extremely happy.
    Thanks again and looking forward to all your new posts.

  44. Congrats, Kaleb, on getting your own book published. Know that all of us Twilight fans are supporting you and your continuation of the site!

    WOO HOO for contests!
