Stephenie Meyer makes the Midnight Sun draft publicly available after the epic viral leak last week (which I didn't mention in the linkspam, by the way, because it seemed like bad idea jeans to do so where the lawyers could find me). Also, she is taking her toys and going home. Until Little, Brown stops by her house with a suitcase full of cash persuasion. At least, that's how I'd play it if I were her.

(Do we want a recap? I've already read it, after all.)

ETA: Okay, okay! Give me the day, it's going to take a while.

ETA 2: First half's up.

I vote for the Chapter breakdowns like in New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. You never cease to leave me in stitches :D

LOL. Recap please!

My money is on Robert Pattinson as the leak.

Yes, definitely! I saved so much money reading your recaps, why not save time as well!

Reading that letter, my brain just can't help but notice the similarity to those, "Comment or I won't post another chapter EVER AGAIN!" author's notes that a lot of bad writers seem to think are perfectly reasonable and not rude at all.

The sad thing is how many people actually do comment...

Oh, and chapter breakdowns, please, so I never have to read the actual story...

"I think we broke Stephenie Meyer." <--- quote off the amazon boards

BWAHAHAHA!!!

Wow - she really did throw the toys out of the pram didn't she?

So who do we think it was? My money is with the ONTD lot in saying it's Rpattz. Mostly cos it sounds like something he'd do for a giggle and cos he hates his character.

I can just see him behind his keyboard with his hair dancing away happily to the tune of "I can't decide" by the Scissor Sisters and posting it on every Twi board he can find going: "Sparkly, my arse!"

...Okay - maybe not but it's a funny image!

Chapter break downs if you can, the only way I'm reading this thing is through you. I may or may not drunkenly see it at the movies though.

Please recap - I got as far as the 'everyone thinking about Bella' cringeworthy lunch scene, with added misogyny whenever the girl Jessica was mentioned (she is the only one who seems to think like an ACTUAL HUMAN).

IAWTC!

Recaps pls!

In general, we always want a recap. If you let us get away with it, I think we'd demand recaps from you 24 hours a day, only allowing you to stop for 45 minute naps, and small meals compacted in pill form for speedy consumption. Then, back to the recapping!

Oh God yes we wants a recap. The pain it caused me when reading it would be worth it for a recap.

Ooh, definitely a recap, please! You'll be ahead if SMeyer gets out of her snit and finishes the whole thing.

I don't know if he did it, but I would guess that his copy was probably the least guarded. I mean, he could have given it to a PA or a friend or something, who then fearlessly scanned it in.

Lawls. Epic lawls.

Is it worth reading (in the same capacity that the first four were 'worth reading')?

Yeah that's a lot more likely than my scenario ;)

Theres a part of me that's a tiny weeny bit sorry for her, but it's mostly drowned out by the part of me that's ROFLing all over the shop.

And definitely do a chapter-by-chapter recap, please! ♥

Oh goodness, this is so, like, I dunno, LOLZ. Recaaaaap, please? ;)

Oh, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I may actually like it more than the original, if only because Edward at least interacts with other people, and also, he is such a teenage girl over His First and Only Love.

Yesss, recap, please? Because I can't bring myself to read it. I tried and just...no. I like skipped the first 20 pages.

oh smeyer...

if it was leaked intentionally by someone with a legit copy, my money's on rpattz, or the little whiner herself as being responsible

also?

RECAP!!!!!!!!1!!1

(as if we could ever say no...hell, i'd read your recap of war and peace!)

I bet that's what he'll say if it was his copy, even if he did scan it in himself. I told my sister that he could say that a fan stole a bag of his; it's not unlikely, after all. (I don't think he actually did it, but I find it much funnier if I pretend it is him.)

I've also heard the theory that SMeyer leaked it herself and on purpose to recover from the BD backlash. I think the saddest part about that scenario is that it seems entirely possible.

Do we want a recap?
