I agree. For all the people out there claiming this new thing is just a cash grab, no I really don't think so. I think she made crap tons of money already, off the books and the movies, and if she was REALLY in it just for another cash grab, she'd damn well have finished MS, because she knows that THAT is what all her fans really want, and have been clamoring for forever! I think this new thing was a silly little lark, something a bit different that maybe reignited something in her, but was fairly easy to do, so she went with it.

That's actually what I'm most interested in, the plot changes.

I still don't get how she had time to do this, which does have plenty of changes, but not to finish MS! I guess maybe because a nice chunk of MS was when they were running from James, so stuff where Edward wasn't there, and thus, never got written.

Shut up and go finish Midnight Sun already.

The following just went up on my homepage news sometime in the past couple of hours.  Stephanie must be getting all kinds of grief from people to get her to comment this early and backtrack with "This isn't a real book....."  Really? Now I know I don't want to read it.......  Shut up and go finish Midnight Sun already.


'Twilight' author says new book is 'not a real book.'

The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Stephenie Meyer acknowledges her new book isn't exactly "new."

Appearing Thursday at New York Comic Con, the author spoke of the 10th anniversary edition of the first book of her blockbuster "Twilight" series. The release includes the original "Twilight" along with "Life and Death," essentially the same story, except she switched the names and genders of the main characters, with Bella and Edward now Beau and Edythe.

"I want to say this is not a real book, and I am totally aware of this," she said at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.

"Twilight Tenth Anniversary/Life and Death Dual Edition" was No. 2 on Amazon.com's best-seller list as of late Thursday, although several readers have complained "Life and Death" often contains the exact wording of "Twilight."

I just got your message on Goodreads but 'WTF' is right. What. The. Fuck?! I'm stumped for words....What is it? I've read the blurb about 10 times and I'm still confused..... I can't be bothered to even find out if it's 'good' though it'd probably take me 5 minutes. Hi everyone BTW!!! You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

But honestly FFG, What is this book? I've been outside the Twilight Zone for so long that I almost said 'Meyers who?' When  KKK messaged me on GR....

Thank you very much for your reply I'm sorry I interrupt your conversation in this way.
I'll be thankfull for every title you give me, but I like some HEA, maybe a little Possesiveward and stories with addictive plot.

I LOVED Trippin, Slippin, Stumbletumblin (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login check out the first review)...  please don't judge the fic based on that title because it isn't a good representation of what the book is about.     Also really recommend Wide Awake.

Agree. I admire authors. It's tough to write. We don't need to publicly harass/shame them if we don't like what they wrote. Just don't read/buy it.

To be honest, i was surprised she even wrote this. What for? Twilight as a story is done. She should have just written other books unrelated to this similar to what J.K. Rowling did after Harry Potter. It's like she set herself up "to fail" by putting something out there that she knows is not what her fans asked for.

But, that's her choice and i respect her for it. If I were in her shoes, i'd just sit back, relax and enjoy my millions of $. If i still have the urge to write, publish it under a different name to see how people really think of my writing... Just my opinion (and laziness showing).

I'm still puzzled by the "book"...   and have no interest in reading it.   Heck, I can't get past the name choices!!  LOL you simply MUST get a new nickname for me ASAP.

Yes, that nickname has to go..lol

Took a quick peek  read the foreword up to page 26...except for Charlie and Renee, no other names have been mentioned yet. However, she/he/it has blue eyes as i just passed the point how he/she looked more like Renee...oh well, will pass on this first as i hate that my brain is actively trying to recall what was in the original. It is exhausting. I never did that for all the fanfics i read. Maybe i am still bitter this was not Midnight Sun....will put it off for a while... loopy, let us know how it goes for you!
