Someone sent me twelve chapters of Stephenie Meyer’s Midnight Sun (the story of Bella and Edward told from Edward’s POV) a few days ago. There was a bit of speculation as to whether this was an authentic Meyer voice or whether it was fan ficced.
I leaned toward the latter. But apparently the chapters circulating on the internet are authentic and Meyer has acknowledged that it is. Whether she will “punish” the fans and the leaker by not finishing remains to be seen, but if you want to read chapters 1-12 of the Edward/Bella saga from Edward’s POV,.
Something about the way her post is worded provokes a weird suspicion that it might have been done intentionally because she didn’t really want to finish, or basically rehash, a story she’s already told. Maybe it’s just that, if it were a story I really wanted to write, I don’t believe chapter leakage or anything else would prevent me from writing it. Or maybe it was leaked to see if she could get any feedback to encourage her to finish it. It just seems very strange that if she handed the chapters over only to people she really trusted, how this could have happened? And that bit about no malicious intent. The draft posted just looks like more Mary Bella Sue stuff.

If this was an unintentional leak, then I feel bad for Meyer. I’ve sent pre-edited versions of my books to friends for feedback, and if somehow those ended up available for public viewing on the internet, I’d be horrified. As for how it could have happened, if Meyer only sent those chapters to people she trustedwell, one of those trusted people could have forwarded it to a friend – sworn to secrecy, of course – who then forwarded it to another friend – sworn to secrecy, etc. – and then it ends up available everywhere when someone eventually sends it to a person who isn’t very ethical. It’s an author’s worst nightmare, really. Epiracy probably starts with someone legally downloading a book, then sending it to a trusted friend to “share”, like with a paperback, and then maybe that friend sends it to someone, and then somewhere down the line, the book ends up on those illegal mass-distribution sites where anyone can get it for free.
Meyer is lucky that she’s such a big name, a leak like this won’t ruin her career. City and colour little hell album download zip free. If something like this happened to a new or smaller author, it could kill a future book, not to mention really harm a career.
What I find strange about the whole thing is how long it took her to claim the work as her own. I’ve been watching this since it started, something like a week ago or so. I know that a lot of people e-mailed her, her brother, possibly even her agent and her publisher to inform her, yet it still took this long for something to be said by her. As a writer, if it was my work, I’d be on this so fast it would make your head spin. I can’t see any reason, outside of a possible intentional leak, to leave it that long. And I really can’t believe that it took her that long to find out. People were e-mailing from day one.
I’m not sure I can buy that no one in the Meyer’s camp got the message. I bet you the leak came from someone involved with the movie. Some people think it’s Robert Pattinson but I don’t think he’s that stupid or malicious. If there was a copy on the set, any number of people could have found it and made a copy for someone they knew would want to read it and things probably escalated from there. I do think there’s merit in the idea that the leak was intentional. The Twilight Guide comes out in December and there’s no reason to buy it if it’s going to be out of date within a year which would happen with MS’s publication.
