Twilight Author Stephenie Meyer to Stop Book After Internet Leak

Now this is really a case of one person ruining things for legions of an author's fans.  In a way I hope she never finishes this last book in the saga or takes like 10 years or something to do it. She would really drive home the point that putting unauthorized previews on the Internet comes with a heavy cost.  Everyone is just too busy trying to get the scoop to worry about what the person behind the art feels.  Let this be their comeuppance.

"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," wrote Meyer.

"I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on "Midnight Sun," and so it is on hold indefinitely."

Meyer said the draft that was released on the Internet was incomplete with messy and flawed writing but she was making this draft available to everyone to be a fair and because it added a new dimension to the "Twilight" story.
