This is from Gossip Cop, Guess she will never finish MS.Twilight fans should give up on ever reading a finished version of Midnight Sun, and Stephenie Meyer is suggesting Fifty Shades Of Grey is to blame.As all Twihards know, Meyer wrote Midnight Sun as a pseudo-sequel to her original novel. But instead of being a tradition follow-up, the narrative is simply reversed. The Twilight Saga story is told from the perspective of Edward, instead of Bella.After an early version leaked online, however, Meyer shelved plans to finish and release the book. In the years since, fans have clamored for her to change her mind. And during a New York Comic-Con panel on Thursday, Meyer revealed she did actually start working on it again earlier this year.“It felt really good,” she admitted to cheers. But then Meyer said, “So what do you think was the top story on Yahoo the next morning? Grey.” Grey, of course, is E.L. James’ re-telling of Fifty Shades Of Grey from Christian’s point of view, instead of Anastasia.Given that that idea was her intention with Midnight Sun (not to mention that many already view Fifty Shades as a Twilight rip-off), Meyer confessed, “It was a literal flip the table moment for me.” Now, unfortunately for fans, she’s re-committed to NOT finishing the “cursed” project.Meyer’s comments came during a Comic-Con panel about Life and Death, the new Twilight story that swaps the genders of the lead characters. As Gossip Cop reported, that was released earlier this week to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the novel’s original publishing. What do you think of Meyer deciding not to finish Midnight Sun because of Grey?
Yeah - I'm with you on this one Matron. Pure and utter bull. She needed an excuse and found a handy one. Since when did she become threatened by E. L. James? I mean, really, Stephanie........put on your big girl panties and deal with it.......she's no threat and you are the better writer. Which leads me to ask - how come you didn't deal with her/Fifty Shades/MOTU back along instead of letting her slide along and get under your skin (if that's what happened)?
Yes! If she had sued in the first place, Grey would never have happened, and Bella and Edward would still be "pure" to the majority of the masses.
Yeah, I would have to call complete and utter bullshit on that one. She finally, after this many years, started working on MS again, and the very next day, Grey just so happens to be announced? Yeah, I call bullshit on that.
Omg so true!! I couldn't agree with you more she should have sued.. That story never would have happened it not for Edward and Bella!!
I totally agree. If SM was threatened by EL she would have done something about it. So, for her to use that as an excuse to not finish MS, is just a crap as$ excuse. If she had truly been inspired to finish MS, she would have. So, either it is finished and she isn't releasing it, or she was full of it and just trying to get the fans off her back about it. Personally I think it is the second one.
Omg so true.. I just don't understand how something I loved so much is now disappointing me at every turn
I have been waiting for part 2 of the New Moon graphic novel to finish, and it has been pushed back twice. It sucks and is very disappointing.
So how is everyone this morning ?? I'm cleaning .. I hate it but my daughter was telling me about a vampire movie that's going to be on the nick channel.. Something about a boy who pretends to be a vampire .. He even sparkles.. anyone else here about this?? Just curious.. This is how desperate I am .. I'm feeling my heart pound over a twilight spoof movie..
Good morning to you too!! I am reading Rain Must Fall by Drotuno. I took a small break to clean the disaster that was my desk. I can see the top again..
I know how you feel.. I cleaned my daughters room.. And you will never believe what I found?! A floor!!!!!! Who knew!! I give 2 days with this kid.. Love you guys.. Is rain must fall any good?? Let me know..
Finally cracked open Life and Death... I like it!!!! I'm really open when it comes to interpretations of books, movies, etc.. So, I was excited about this new outlook on Twilight. [emoji51] Also started Eternally Damned by TwiXlite... Liking that so far too [emoji106] Finished Tight By Alessandra Torre... That was good!!!
I have read this story before, and it is really good IMO. It is on her blog and ffnet. I like reading it in PDF from her blog because you get all of the pictures with it in the body of the story. If you like zombie, world disaster stories, this is for you. drotuno.blogspot.ca
