A group of spoil-sports have sapped all the fun out of Midnight Sun, including the author’s own sense of fun in writing it. The novel, a follow-up to the four-novel Twilight saga as told from the perspective of vampire Edward Cullen, is a project that may never see the light of day, thanks to some idiot Internet content pirates, who somehow came into possession of several chapters of an early draft, and posted them online withou the author’s knowledge or permission.

Said Meyer on her Web site:

I’d rather my fans not read this version of 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.

It’s too bad; with Twilight set to premiere on the silver screen in November, the novel was set to be one hot property once it was finished. Now, it’ll be years before the book gets written, if it ever does.

Hopefully Meyer’s next project won’t experience such a security leak, and cruises to a spot atop the New York Times best-seller’s list for fiction; after penning five very successful novels, it’s time for Meyer to enjoy her success.
