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!
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.
Here’s to more great stuff at twilightguy.com, and to all the wonderful times I’ve had in this fandom so far 😀

Withdrawal? Nay – Celebration! First you left us in Dallas and now you're finished reading and sharing Breaking Dawn insights with us – it seemed almost too much for a girl to bear! But wait – more than anything else, I feel proud of you, Mr. Kaleb Nation, and I'm happy to be on this very cool journey with you – especially since it's now not ending 🙂 Cheers and on we go!

I love you website though i have only found it just after you started Breaking Dawn I enjoyed all of your funny comments and realistic views on the book. God knows we didn't need another girl blogging about how much she loved the books and that Edward was perfect.Though they are still my favorite books the hype is insane.

Can you also sign the book??
😀

Wow awesome contest! Too bad you finished reading though 🙁
Kaleb, I've enjoyed your commentary and great pics for each chapter. I'm sad that I found this site (and you) kind of late, but I wish you the best in your future endeavors. 🙂
So glad you aren't leaving us forever Kaleb! God, is it really pathetic that I was crying when I read your last chapter review?
I am so glad you decided to stick around for awhile longer! I can't wait to see your reactions on New Moon the movie!
You're a TWILIGHTER!
Love you and your site, can't wait for your book
THANKS KALEB!!!!!! This site is the best! I would be so sad if you closed it.
yay! Ypou finished but you aren't leaving! Best of both worlds. You are now awarded a name: KNattz. Wear it with pride.
EPIC that is the only word that can express how awesome YOU and THIS site are! I blame you 100% for making be addicted to gnomes and putting the word DESPAIR in my little vocabulary XD Thank-you for all the entertaining youtube vids and your funny/hilarious chapter by chapter posts on the Twilight Saga!
P.S. My Borders just informed me that they are holding Branhambric for me and that i can pick it up after 9/9/09! So excited! =) ive heard great things about it!
I can honestly say that we all love you Kaleb 🙂
You have always made me laugh when I was feeling down!
Im glad your keeping up your blog, because..I honestly dont know what I would do without it!
All the best ! xo
Congrats on finishing the series!
Btw, I am IN LOVE with your book! It is truly AMAZING! See you in Austin on September 25th ;D
xoxo
Nicole 🙂
Noooooooooooooo! Finished with Breaking Dawn?! The very last page made me sad. 🙁 'the end'
Aww, sadness. I've been reading this blog since you began reading Twilight. I can't wait to read your book and see all the great things you do! (And the books you write!)
Kaleb – congratulations on finishing Breaking Dawn! I can't believe that you had the self control to read the series so slowly; your willpower is exemplary. I can't wait to see what else comes your way.
Congratulations on finishing the Twilight Saga Kaleb!!! I'm soo happy that you decided to keep posting on this site! Bran Hambric is nearly out! Wooooooooooooo! Hope you have fun during your book tour ^^
WOW, i CAN'T belive it's over!!
I remember reading about you on HGE like a year ago!
You are one of the most well known twilightters out there.
😀
btw i bought a copy of bram hambric, it is amazing! you are an amazing writer.
I can't believe its over. But I'm SOOOOOO glad you're keeping the site up!!!!!
Kaleb, I'm so glad that you're sticking around! I'm looking forward to hearing a lot more from you on here and on Twitter. I'm glad you count yourself among the Twilighters now!
KN, you are the best. I've loved your posts, antics, chapter reviews, and everything else since way back at the beginning. Thanks for adding to the fun in our Twilight World. Best of luck to you. 🙂
I'm so glad you're not shutting it down yet, you are a reference in the twilight fandon worldwide.
Looking foward to all your next projects and reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally hoping that amazon shipping to Brazil don't take so long and that I get Bran Hambric before october.
soooooooo glad is not the end! ~jumps in happiness
I'm really sad that this is your last post about the books. We didn't even have a “choose the song for Breaking Dawn” vote. Or a wrap-up post. But I think this is a great way to end it. Plus, I'm pretty sure your fame amongst twilighters will not be forgotten, and we have to remember that there's still 3 movies coming out! Woo hoo!
Kaleb! I will miss these chapter reviews but I'm glad the this site is not going anywhere. Keep being yourself, I like you just the way you are.
rebekah
Yay, you finished it!!
I really enjoyed reading your reviews over the past year! Your pics and commentary are epic!
Thank you so much for everything Kaleb!!!
Kaleb, you are amazing. I loved reading all your views of the book, especially since it is coming from a male perspective. You always have something funny to say which is awesome. I can't wait to get your book and read it :D.
Can't wait for your future posts and have fun doing your book tour!
So excited you are still going to post other stuff!
YAY! I learned how to do chapter notes from you!!! thanks a ton!
Awe I'm sooo happy your not shutting it down! This site is amazing and I will still visit it even though the chapter reviews are done. Thanks for all the hard work, dedication and time you put into this site!

Hey Kaleb,
It's crazy how TwilightGuy existed so long before I knew about it. I only started reading your blog when you were in the middle of Breaking Dawn. I hope that sometime I can revisit all of your posts, first to last, and learn even more about your incredible journey. For now, though, I'm looking forward to Wednesday the 9th —- the day I drive over to Walden Books and grab my very own copy of Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse. I'm definitely planning on going to one of your signings this month!
*Adrienne
I'm so stoked about this book!
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES KALEB!
your reviews were really great 😀
but I can't believe it's over 🙁
I can't believe this is it. I Really loved your reviews, I read each one of them.
Anyway thanks for being so epicly great. I can't wait to get my hands on a bran hambric copy!
OH AND I WAAAAAANNNNTTT THATTTTT BOOOKKKK!!!
I want to win lol so i will post on this entry as well 🙂 Can't wait to buy your book Kaleb!!! 🙂
I read this blog from the beginning… it was great to get an additional Twilight dose each day (well, at more and more infrequent intervals as time wore on, no?). Read The Host next, please? 😀
I know! I can't believe it's over already! Kaleb, you entertained me with your hilarious and musing insight into the Twilight series and I am sad to see it finished! 🙁
Random note: I can't WAIT for Bran Hambric! *squee*
I've never commented on anything. I'm more of a lurker but I've read all of your posts since you first started reading the Twilight Saga. I can't believe it's all over. I'm glad you enjoyed the series and wish you the best of luck on your own series. I just bought a copy of your book and I'm looking forward to more of your posts, Kaleb..
I'm sad to see your posts come to an end, but I'm happy about your book. The preview chapters were good and I'm looking forward to it. And yes, can't you do a hostguy.com? We need someone to give us insight on each chapter lol 😀 Well, best of luck with everything. 🙂
