This article really made me see what an impact Stephanie Meyers had on her readers. I am a huge fan, but did not know Meyers was so involved with her fans. I knew about her being a "normal mom" and then springing to fame by writing on her own personal computer while her kids were sleeping or at practice.
I think it is really cool that she took an interest in her readers. The article said Meyers would go to her fan's blogs and comment on things they said. How cool!
I also knew about the Twilight Dictionary. I did not know that it broke from being overused. Meyers seems to be very cooperative with her readers and take matters into her own hands when necessary. She set up her own website which I have done some exploring on myself.

Marissa,
ReplyDeleteYou should read my blog about this! I loved using her site while I was reading the books. I was always interested in what Meyers had to write about. She would write about who she imagined playing these characters in the movies, who she imagined them looking like as she wrote, what songs she listened to that inspired her writing, how many times the names changed, and more. I really think that she answers every question I have had about Twilight. I have to say though, sometimes I prefer not to read about the characters being written because it makes them less real to me (if that makes sense).
Here is my blog on this article. It contains links to my favorite parts of her site, such as Midnight Sun! http://jordanvictoria.blogspot.com/2010/02/twilight-has-strong-internet-connection.html
