Download your copy of the Midnight Sun Draft

Stephenie Meyer has written a substantial draft of Midnight Sun (about 260 pages) – and somehow it has been leaked on the Internet. Here’s what Meyer had to say
over on her blog:

“ 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.”

Meyer is imploring fans not to read the incomplete Midnight Sun draft – as it is not in the form she wanted it to be read in. But to save fans from tracking down an illegal
copy she has decided to make it available herself.

Midnight Sun Draft Leak – was it a set up?

I’m really not sure what to make of this – when I first heard about it I felt sorry for Meyer, when an author puts her heart and soul into writing a book it’s awful for it to be
pirated. Other people have a slightly different point of view though. Over at Maw’s blog people are suggesting this is some sort of conspiracy theory – that Meyer was
concerned about fan’s reactions following the less than positive response to Breaking Dawn, and wanted to ‘test the waters’ before expending too much time and effort
on Midnight Sun.

I’d love to know what you think. Is this just another nail in the coffin for internet piracy, or a clever piece of marketing? Did you come across the ‘illegal’ Midnight Sun draft?
Did you read it then – will you read it now? Post in the comments below and let me know your thoughts.

Ok, hands up those of you who devoured Breaking Dawn and are now looking for your next Cullen fix? Can I tempt you with the first chapter of
Midnight Sun? What about Midnight Sun Chapter 2?

Breaking Dawn starts out with the fabulous wedding between Bella and Edward – and then takes the reader on a roller coaster ride, full of twists and
turns, with a bit of blood and gore and romance thrown in for good measure.

I love the twilight series! Stephenie Meyer truely does have a gift for writing! I also have never
really been much of a reader, but yet I have read the ENTIRE twilight series 4 times!! I also own both
twilight and new moon on dvd. Not that they are even remotely comparable; the books being the better
“obviously”. I have only read the first chapter of THE MIDNIGHT SUN draft and i too cannot wait until
the actual book is released. Everytime i reach the last page of breaking dawn and i see the words, THE
END i feel the need to start all over again. I hope the saga will continue because for edward and bella
there will never be an end!
