OK for those of you are wondering what I am so mad about I will tell you. SOME IDIOT ILLEGALLY POSTED MIDNIGHT SUN ON A WEBSITE! SO IF YOU ARE THAT SOMEONE YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO! Here is what Stephenie wrote:
August 28, 2008 (part II)
As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.
I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.
I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.
So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.
I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this message on the Midnight Sun page). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place.
I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.

I can't believe someone did that! I can only imagine how that must feel. As for me reading the rough draft of midnight sun, I am going to refrain.

Oh my goodness! Do you think Bella will be able to change?

(please remeber that after the dotts it is a new quote!)
Date: Friday, August 1
***At 9:00am Friday morning, they are handing out wrist-bands for books. Each person can pick up up to 5 wrist bands. I got the impression that the wrist bands were going to be handed out in numerical order. (last year, we got in line in the order of our number, so if you want to stand by your peeps in line, you may want to get your wrist bands at the same time)
The party starts at 8:30pm at the Barnes and Noble at Jordan Landing.
The party has a theme: Bella's wedding reception. (so you can be VERY creative in your attire last year they gave out prizes for costumes: Bella look-a-like and Edward look-a-like)
During the party last year, there were stations set up throughout the store where you answered trivia questions about the books. They had prizes for the most correct and stuff like that. They also had Cullen family pictionary, and that's all I remember. I do remember that we had SO MUCH FUN!!!
The party goes until 11:30, at which time, everyone will form 2 lines. One line if you pre-ordered, one line if you didn't. (Obviosly, the pre-ordered people get to buy their books first.)
Then, when Breaking Dawn is actually released at 12:01am, they will tear open the boxes, and ring people up according to the number on the wrist band. I highly reccommend pre-ordering your book. You will not be guarenteed a copy unless you have done so. (that means you could stand in line for an hour and leave empty handed)
Here is the phone number for B&N if you wish to preorder your copy: 282-1324
Here is the link to the B&N page (I didn't find it very informative though -all of the info. I have, I got from calling the store) http://www.barnesandnobleinc.com/stores/eventdetail.do?store=2137&event=22717508
