Midnight Sun--Edward's view on hold indefinately!

This is for all of you who are fans of the Twilight series, and have possibly been anticipating the book Midnight Sun which is Edward's view of things. A partial draft of Midnight Sun was leaked on the Internet. Understandably, Stephenie Meyer is pretty upset and therefore, she is putting it on hold "indefinitely." Because she loves her fans so much, she doesn't want to "drive more people to look for the illegal posting" so, she linked it on her web site.
She said, "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 post). 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."

So, if you would like to read the available 264 pages of Midnight Sun, go to http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/midnightsun.html The attached draft is at the bottom of that post.

I was so mad when I first read this on her website. I guess you really start to find out who your TRUE friends are once you make it big. I can't understand for the life of me why someone would violate her trust so blatantly. Poor Steph:(
