IN RESPONSE TO ALL MY EMAILS CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF SAVEMIDNIGHTSUN.COM
First, it has been so long since I last posted. Just getting ready for Christmas and sick kids... again. But I posted this on the forum on http://www.savemidnightsun.com/
I figured I should address this "issue" since it has been made into one. Over the last few weeks, I've received dozens of emails asking about the future of this site. I've also received a few "hate" emails about how it is going to be my fault that Midnight Sun is going to not be written.
First, here is a quote from Stephenie Meyer herself in an interview from ew.com
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Is Midnight Sun still dead to you, or can you see finishing and publishing it in the future?
STEPHENIE MEYER: It's really complicated, because everyone now is in the driver's seat, where they can make judgment calls. ''Well, I think this should happen, I think she should do this.'' I do not feel alone with the manuscript. And I cannot write when I don't feel alone. So my goal is to go for, like, I don't know, two years without ever hearing the words Midnight Sun. And once I'm pretty sure that everyone's forgotten about it, I think I'll be able to get to the place where I'm alone with it again. Then I'll be able to sneak in and work on it again.
With this quote here, I'm understanding this as more that she wants the business aspect to chill... not her fans. She doesn't answer to us (the fans), she answers to herself and makes her decisions with her publishers and whoever else is involved.
That being said, I'm going to continue to keep the site running and collecting signatures as I have since the site went live on the internet. I also invite further discussion on the message boards. This site is here for viewing and it is my hope that Stephenie Meyer has indeed seen this site. She has many adoring and loyal fans to the Twilight series, that's for sure. That is the very purpose of this site... we the fans are united in solidarity for the support of Stephenie Meyer and her characters that she so lovingly created for us... Edward in particular- ha ha!
Yes, Midnight Sun is what we fans are desperate to have. It will come, eventually- let's keep hope strong and continue with our support of our favorite author. Let's help Save Midnight Sun through our kind words and support- let's see how many signatures we can get... how cool would it be to get a million signatures to show her how much we care for her and this particular project?!
Hopefully, I've shed some light for those that were confused or angry with this site. I'm proud to have thought of it as I'm proud that you all have joined in to help with this "cause". Take care and "Be Safe" to all

I DON'T KNOW STEPHENIE MEYER
The Website is back up now and we are over 10,100+ names strong on the petition. I think that that is great!
One other thing I would like to address while I'm here and my kids are somewhat calm at the moment- To anyone who cares:
I DON'T KNOW STEPHENIE MEYER IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM! I get emails constantly asking about her and what her plans are. I've even gotten some emails of fans who think I'm actually her. I will be putting a disclaimer up on the site soon.
In reality, I'm just a fan like all of you. I don't shout out "I love Edward Cullen" or "I want to be a vampire too". (that's a whole other issue that I will post about later) I'm just a huge fan who would really love to see Midnight Sun finished. Before the Twilight Series, life was busy (it still is) and I never found time to read. I did chores up until the time I went to bed and worked on stuff for church and caught up on things that I couldn't fit into my day after my kids go to bed.
Everything changed after the birth of my 3rd son and I needed some serious down time. My older sister was seriously bugging me to read this book called Twilight and I told her I would. I hate to admit that it sat on my nightstand for 3 months until I finally decided to pick it up. I KNOW! When I finished, I couldn't believe this amazing story sat there unopened for so long. Well, the rest is history and since I've made time to read different types of books. I guess I can say that Stephenie Meyer turned me back on to literature. So, thanks to my own sister and Stephenie Meyer (who I don't know)

Just an Update
Hi to all that check this blog regularly. Save Midnight Sun has been down for about 2 days now. Something happened to the server and it's going to be a couple of days according the guy hosting all of our stuff. It stinks because we can't get signatures these last couple of days and we were just about to break 10,000! Which I think is amazing.
On a lighter note, I went to Books A Million this morning in the midst of running my errands. I got the Twilight Movie Illustrated Movie Companion! I've only flipped through it as life tends to stay busy in my house until about 6:30ish and when the kids are in bed, I will sit down and really thumb through it. I'm very excited- not too much longer until the movie.
So, I've downloading all the books in the series on my ipod. It's been fun listening, but the lady voice kind of annoys me (the one reading Twilight). It makes no difference to me though because the story is just really good. I go to my happy place and listen intently while I fold clothes or jump on my eliptical (in my latest attempt to lose a few extra pounds). I even listen while I wait in the carpool line to pick my oldest son up from school. I don't do it everyday, but on particularly blase days.
Well, life calls- take care to all fellow fans and please keep checking back to http://savemidnightsun.com - hopefully it will be up soon. I know I have my fingers crossed- I'm working on a couple of things for the site and I'm anxious to get things going again.
