On her site, Meyer includes the links to her fansites. She talks about her characters, what inspired her to create them, how she named them, and what actors she imagined would play them in the movies. One of my favorite things that she does is includes a playlists that she listened to as she wrote. Every question that a "Twilight"er (or as I like to call us, Twi-hards) would have.

Twilight Has A Strong Internet Connection
If anyone claims to know me, they know I love Twilight. I became a woman obsessed in Fall of 2009 and I eagerly anticipate the release of "Eclipse" on June 30! Although I basically know everything there is to know about Stephenie Meyer, I love reading about her. I love that she is so connected to her fans, because she has a ton of them! She tends to be so upfront with them about everything, which I know I surely appreciate. Meyer openly talks about "Midnight Sun", which is "Twilight" from Edward's point of view. She openly discusses how she let only three people read the draft, but one of those people illegally leaked the draft onto the internet far before it was ready. Meyer was personally hurt by being exploited by someone she considered a friend, that she delayed completing "Midnight Sun."

Jord,
ReplyDeleteI definitely know how obsessed you were with Twilight. It was fun for Amanda, you, and I to read the series together. It is an interesting experience to be able to relate to others throughout and after an awesome read. I was also able to explore the Stephanie Meyer website during our final project in Dr. Pytash's class last semester. I remember finding it so interesting that Meyer gave the name "Bella" to her main character when she wanted that to be the name of her first daughter. Meyer said the characters felt like her children. (Talk about a close connection with reading and writing!)
