Wasn't Stephanie Morgan's family and the family of her husband Christian Meyer both Jewish who converted to Mormonism and that heritage connection is what drew Stephanie and Christian together in the first place?.

I looked Stephanie Meyer up on Chapters and they say that she has a book coming out called "Revelations" on November 15, 2008. Is this the same as one of the books soon to be released at Amazon or a different book? There is no mention of "Revelations" by Stephanie Meyer at Amazon at all. |

Meyer's books have opened up a whole new type of vampires. These "modern" vampires are sometimes known as Twilight Vampires. Those who drink animal blood instead of human blood, have golden eyes, while the regular ones have red eyes. They also move with such a grace it looks like they're dancing, though some of the "regular" vampires are considered "catlike" in how they move. Both have eyes that turn darker when they're "thirsty" (or angry); have pale, granite or marble-like skin, are almost painfully beautiful, have super strength and have inhuman speed; and some, like Edward, are also known to have special abilities (mind-reading, controlling people's feelings, seeing the future and so on). |

Twilight vampires defy most popular beliefs about vampires. They show up in pictures, have small fangs, and can go out in the sun, but their skin shimmers like thousands of crushed diamonds so they have to stay away from humans on sunny days to avoid controversy. They also cannot turn into bats, as vampires in various other stories do. As for the wooden stakes, Meyer says, "You try shoving wood through granite." |

And as for the issue between vampires and the cliche garlic? While it does not protect humans from them, no "human" food appeals to vampires, mud to a human being is like human food to a vampire(however, they can eat human food). Vampires also have purplish bruise-like shadows beneath their eyes. They have incredible senses of smell, hearing, and sight. They are extremely fast and are astonishingly strong. Nothing can kill them, but another vampire or the Quileute werewolves. To kill a vampire, one must rip them to shreds and burn the pieces. |

The special powers that the vampires have are traits that are intensified from their human life. A vampire is created by being bitten but not drained entirely of blood. The venom from a vampire has the ability to change a human into a vampire. It is a long, painful process that lasts for about three days. A new vampire will have bright red eyes for around a year. Some vampires have a great attraction to the scent of a particular human's blood. The scent of the blood is extremely appealing to the vampire. In the book ''New Moon'' this appeal is used with the word "singer", as the blood of that particular persons blood "sings" to the vampire in question. |
|
|
|
|
|
Vampires are frozen in a state of time, therefore, they cannot sleep or grow hair or grow old but remain exactly as they were at the time of their change to a vampire. If they eat human food, they'll have to (basically) throw it up later, as otherwise it causes an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach and remains in the stomach forever. Most vampires are nomads, and travel in small groups of one or two. More than that is an extreme oddity. Vampires such as the Cullens are very rare, for many vampires do not choose their type of diet (animal instead of human). Also, some vampires are trackers, which are vampires who are greatly attracted to a human and track them until they can strike. i like cheese |

:I agree completely, but the ''Times'' article in particular was actually very positive.

:::Listing the honours ''Twilight'' has received and quoting some more negative reviews is already showing mixed reception. Adding more (either positive or negative) examples would be fine, but the ''Time'' comment is not what I would call "critical reception". It is not a critique of how "good" or "bad" the books are, but a random comment on Meyer's writing style. The point of that statement was to say that her writing is not dense; it was not a critical judgement of the book(s). ] (]) 23:47, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |

I haven't read her work so I'm going to make a pretense of neutrality here: the current arrangement of a half-arsed quote from Stephen King as the entire lit-crit section is unacceptable. Reviews from respectable sources should be added. Please don't claim reviews were "good," "bad" (unless they really, really were). "Mixed" should almost never be used as it's weasel wording (every piece of literature ever written got "mixed reviews"). |
|
|
Instead, say So-and-so's work has been praised for its whatever (quotes and sources). Then, if you disagree with that, add "but her work has been criticized as advocating tax evasion and pedophilia" (quotes and sources). And so on. ] (]) 06:34, 8 February 2009 (UTC) |

"The book's selfless, tormented hero, Edward, certainly accounts for a large part of the collective swoon. Meyer, in fact, refers to her Seattle and Forks events as 'I Love Edward' parties." |
|
|
|
|
|
This makes it sound less like Forks has hosted a festival or party entitled "I Love Edward," but rather that Meyer colloquially refers to her appearances there that way. Thus the line in the "fan following" section either needs a reference or should be rewritten or deleted. ] (]) 15:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC) |

Also, this page was vandilised by a Twilight fan. Stephenie Meyer has not sold 25million copies of her books. Infact, shortly before the release of Breaking Dawn, she had only sold 8.5million copies of her four previous books (twilight, eclipse, new moon, and the host) and the book sales, though 1.4mil on its first day of breaking dawn, are still about 10million shy from 25 million quoted last I heard, which had it at 11.5million estimated sold. Also, they clump 7 citations to that statement in attempt to make it real, when really none of the citations back it up, or even have anything to do with the book sales itself. |

I just completely reorganized the article, but I wanted to explain why I took out any "Critical reception" heading. I did this because technically this article barely has any at all, except a tad on ''Twilight''. I don't think this is the place for including critical reception on each book, but maybe for general reviews about the whole series (as we are attempting in the ] article) or generally on her writing style. So, while I took it out for now, I think some overall "Critical reception" should definitely be added in the future. <strong>]</strong> (]) 19:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC) |

It doesn't matter what her parents were named, or how her name is spelled.

Why don't you just say how many people were in her family? Or does anyone know? |

And realitively few people would be confused by the use of the word "large" in that context. |

== Film Adaptation for New Moon: == |
|
|
|
|

Summit Entertainment has slated the release date for New Moon, the film adaptation of the second novel, for November 20. 2009 in the USA. Chris Weitz, the director of the Golden Compass, has been taken onboard to direct after conflicts with Catherine Hardwicke (director of Twilight) led her to back out of the project. |

I have added a criticism section with the most recent quote from ]. He's a highly notable authority on writing and his criticism should carry weight, especially to balance out the article. Now I'm sure she's been criticized by several bloggers, but King isn't your everyday blogger so it should merit inclusion. ] (]) 03:22, 4 February 2009 (UTC) |

There must be more, the Twilight books were frickin AWFUL. Surely someone notable has noticed that Bella is incredibly anti-feminist? I feel like it is notable that her female lead spends her time cooking for her father, throws aside her college plans to marry her high school boyfriend, and has no hobbies, friends or other interests outside Edward. I'm sure other people have noticed this to, but surely someone has commented on this in a manner usable within Misplaced Pages?.... |

== Section- "The Twilight Series" == |
|
|
|
|
|
I've added the "Unbalanced" tag (which, yes, I know, is an article tag, but there is no similar section-specific tag) as the section which specifically deals with the Twilight series entirely neglects mentioning of any criticism of Twilight. |
|
|
|
|
|
the closest we come to criticism of Twilight is: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, critical reception has been mixed. Booklist wrote, "There are some flaws here — a plot that could have been tightened, an overreliance on adjectives and adverbs to bolster dialogue — but this dark romance seeps into the soul." Kirkus wrote: " is far from perfect: Edward's portrayal as monstrous tragic hero is overly Byronic, and Bella's appeal is based on magic rather than character. Nonetheless, the portrayal of dangerous lovers hits the spot; fans of dark romance will find it hard to resist." |
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of mentioning actual criticism, we get reviews which vacillate. I KNOW there is legitimate criticism, I know I myself thought Twilight was incredibly sexist, and promoted abusive relationships. These views aren't uncommon but they aren't voiced within the article at all. |
|
|
|
|
|
In regard to the critical reception of Meyer's work, this article tends to feel a little white-washed. --] (]) 05:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC) |

:Full critical reception for each book (and the series as a whole) is included in those respective articles. Very little is provided in the section you tagged because it is merely meant to be an overview of the history of the series. The only reason any crit. rec. is included there at all is so it ''wouldn't'' seem unbalanced, since naming its awards and saying it sold well was important for explaining why the series was continued, but falsely made it look like everything about it was positive. The actual Critical Reception section was only begun recently, and is definitely not sufficient. However, I don't think this article should simply restate all of the reception that is already included on the respective book pages. If any is included here at all (many author pages ''don't'' have such sections), it should be specifically about her writing style. That is, general comments about her as a writer, such as those from Stephen King, and not specifics on the individual books or series. The problem here is that some comments from King are not nearly enough, but I've had trouble finding such criticism and don't want to just repeat what is already included in more appropriate places. <strong>]</strong> (]) 05:55, 18 February 2009 (UTC) |

I was trying to find an image that could legally be used in the article that was more of a professional photo, and I was wondering if the picture of Stephenie that is in the back of her book would work. Technically the photo was published with the book, so if the photographer is cited, could it legally be used in the article? ] (]) 21:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC) |

== Main Idea of the book Twilight By: Stephenie Meyer == |
|
|
|
|
|
The Main Idea in her first book, Twilight. Is that Bella begins to fall in love with Edward Cullen. Soon before you know it he falls for her, harder than what she did for him. So where I am getting at is that when bella saw Edward for the first time she fell in love instantly but has no idea that he is not only an extremely hott guy!!! But he has the side to him in which is blood thirsty for Bella's Blood. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 04:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher. |
|
|
|
|
|
I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution. |
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely. |
|
|
|
|
|
I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available here (at the end of this post). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place. |

== LGBTQIA+ Rights Dispute == |

I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects. |

Hello @] , Could you please tell me where in the cited article for her LGBTQIA+ views Meyer " sent a message privately to Stewart containing a friendly message, along with a ] notice". I couldn't find any evidence in the linked source which I why I removed the section that you added back. I also feel like the later half of the section that reads " The sudden homophobic retaliation of the statement was not surprising to many long time Stephenie Meyer detractors" is quite editorialized. I don't see how a 2009 article is relevant to a far more recent alleged homophobic incident (that still hasn't been proven) ] (]) 09:42, 1 August 2024 (UTC) |
