steph meyer speaks, breaking dawn and casting

posted by jpolanco

"In regards to the question, "Is Breaking Dawn the last book in the Twilight Saga?" The answer is, "I don’t know." It’s the last one for a while, at least. Of course there will be Midnight Sun, but that’s covering old material. I’m not sure if I will go forward with the Twilight characters–I’m a little burned out right now. Ask me again in two years."

"Breaking Dawn is in the editing phase. It it tentatively set for release Fall 2008. It could be later if we hit a snag in editing. Usually editing takes longer than a few months, but both I and my editors will be putting in lots of overtime to make this happen."

"I do not have any casting updates. I haven’t heard anything since the Robert Pattinson announcement. I’m waiting on the same pins and needles you all are. When I get home from vacation, I’ll see if I can get some news."

"Congrats Nessie," i said awkwardly. I knew i should have prepared for this but i didnt know she would get it so soon.I mean she is only 12 years old physically but alive for 2 years now.
I moved her out of earshot and told her "Well honey you know about the birds and the bees so i just want to tell you be safe," i said it fast but i couldnt help it she was growing to fast. So i looked at Edward for help "Mood swings" he mouthed. Renesmee seemed to know that because wshe didnt want to hear anymore of it so she went to 1st base.

Starlit - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Electric

I closed my eyes with great effort. I couldn’t take my eyes away from the electric sapphire blue eyes.

“Whirl around! Whirl around!” My mind screamed at me. I tried to move my body and follow my mind’s bidding but it seemed my body has a mind of its own. It refused to follow. I opened my eyes. The sapphire eyes that held me captive a while ago were no longer on the pond’s reflection. My body automatically turned its back on the pond. My eyes scanned the garden in front of me until my eyes found him.

He was casually leaning on a giant cherry blossom’s trunk. He...

Chapter 2 - Playful

The soft, cool breeze stirred my hair. I purred in contentment – not wanting to open my eyes, though I’m fully awake now. I’m sure Aunt Alice would come – barreling, anytime soon. I rolled on my back hugging my pillow.

A light shone directly on my face.

“Uncle Emmett, quit it” I complained as I buried my face with my pillow. “Don’t you think its way too early for practical jokes?” I demanded, my voice muffled by the pillow. I’m sure my goofy uncle could still hear me clearly.

The light shone relentlessly, now making my arm, which holds my pillow, warm....

Kayla, Chapter 29

There were two vampires. A was a male and a female. The male was as tall as Emmett but not built like Emmett was. The male vampire was strong; you could see that clearly, the shirt he wore was straining against his chest and arms. He had cropped black hair and his eyes glinted red. The female next to him was as tall as me. I was five foot nine. She had long flowing chestnut brown hair and her eyes were black. She wasn’t standing still. She was kind of jumping from one foot to the other, restlessly.
Edward stood beside me. He was holding my hand tightly and I could feel the tension and rolling...

Who Do I think should play Heidi Volturi

posted by kellyclarkson12

Well,for the role of Heidi Volturi I have chosen an actress from One Tree Hill.She's called Daneel Harris.Here are the reasons why she should play Heidi:
1.She is very tall
2.She has mahagony red hair.
3.She is very good at remembering the script.

So,overall, I think that Daneel Harris would be the perfect actress playing Heidi and also she represents the characteristics of her character..

I don't think that AnnaLyne McCord Will make a good Heidi Volturi in New Moon.She doesn't represent the characteristics of her character.

So the One Tree Hill star Daneel Harris will make a perfect Heidi!

Kayla, Chapter 17

posted by twilight-7

I felt numb. The three vampires that had run into my house were still standing there. I didn’t know why. I knew they weren’t in shock, they had known this was going to happen. They just hoped they could have stopped it. They moved incredibly fast. One went to Charlie, one came to me and the other stood there, her face blank.
Edward wrapped his cold arms around me and pulled me off the back of the couch. He lifted me gently in his arms. I didn’t protest and I didn’t struggle. I let him.
“Carlisle, we’ll have to get him to hospital now,” Alice spoke quietly. She was trying not to...

So, I finally wrote this chapter, I've been preoccupied for the past week or so, but it's finally here. I'm getting really excited with my story line and I hope you're all enjoying it, if not, let me know what you don't like and I'll see what I can do about it :P

End of Chapter 7

“EDWARD!” Alice yelled from outside.

Edward reached around me and carefully started to lift me.

“Ugg!” I moaned, noticing that the pain skipped intense, making it's way closer to extreme now. He hesitated before placing me back down, causing the pain to flair up again, the room was suddenly spinning and his face...

Chapter 7.

Edward's thoughts - bold
Kayla's thoughts - italics

I jumped to the side and Edward landed in the spot I was in before. He turned to me, his gold eyes glittering. He stared at me before jumping at me again. I met him this time in mid air. We crashed together and fell to the ground but just before we landed I flipped round so he would receive the impact. We landed with a loud thud that probably shook the trees. I jumped backwards off him and crouched. When he stood up I flew at him, wrapping my legs around his marble chest. I held my hands on either side of his face and turned his head...

Kayla, Chapter 5

posted by twilight-7

this is a bit short, i know. it's just a part that i wanted to write were its just Kayla and Edward.

I was still in Edward’s car, parked outside my house. We were sitting in silence, neither of us saying anything or thinking. It was easier than I thought to be able to sit next to him. I thought that because I knew what he was, that I would be scared of him but I wasn’t. Not an ounce of fear was in my body.
“You’re not scared of me,” Edward stated.
“No,” I answered. “And I don’t know why.”
“I think I do,” he said. He flashed a smile at me.
What are you? he thought.
“Let me...

It was a beautiful autumn day. Little golden leaves fluttered from trees along with crimson and chocolate colored ones. The crimson are my personal favorite.
Seth is away again. I am staying with Emily. She cooks me cookies with little chocolate chips. The color reminds me of the leaves. She hands me sweet tea and I feel welcome compared to the other day. I had gotten into a big fight with Sam. Leah laughed most of the time but I kept my eyes in a glare. Emily looked horrified. Eventualy...

dis 1s a bit short, sorry!

I went up to the secretary and asked her for my schedule, she gave me that and a map of the school. My first class was in room 121, english. I walked to that room and when I opened the door it slammed into the wall, emberrasing! Every head turned to look at me, their thoughts all the same thingNizhoni, the new girl. Wow, word sure travels fast around here. Oh yes, this town is as small as Tuba City. The teacher thoughts were all surrounded on this woman who looked too young for him. He said " Nizhoni Begay I presume?"

I'm copying a bit from a story called Northern Lights! Hope you like it!

Hey, my name is Nizhoni Begay. Typical name you would hear out on the Navajo rez, but it's better than nothing. I'm about 16 and just had to do one of the most devestating things in my life. Moving from sunny, sandy, beautiful Tuba City to cloudy, leafy, dreary town of Forks, in Washington! I've always loved the sun and now here I am. My mom just had to go and throw herself at the first wealthy man she could get, but whatever, he's realy nice and young, and she actually seems happy.
Anyways that's not the most crazy thing...

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT EDWARD AND BELLA USUALLY SPEAK IN THEIR HEADS UNLESS IT SAYS SO

That evening we went out to look for houses (this meant running around and looking for the nicest one). I found this funny.
We couldn’t stay here because there was a risk of someone recognising me. So Carlisle wanted to buy a house in Australia. But Esme had other ideas. She loved renovating...

“I’m Bella” I replied in a feeble voice.
“How do you feel?”

I shouted a whole load of things at this angel...

New Story - Chapter Two

Hey guys, when posting this on FanFiction.net I decided to change the ending a little bit, add more on. Just in case you didn't want to be left out I thought I would post it again with the corrections.

I opened my eyes slowly, noticing the time was 5:34. Early. I closed my eyes again rolling over to my other side. I could sleep for another hour before I had to get up and start my morning routine for school. I could hear Charlie moving around the house downstairs, probably making himself breakfast, and then I smelled burnt toast. Yup. Definitely making himself breakfast. I turned a few times...

One Way or Another (Coming Soon)

posted by emruking

I tried to be differnt, and it worked.
All my life I have always blended into the atmosphere and the people around me. I was nothing special. I was ordinary.
My chance to be different and my chance to be free came with a cost... one I was sure I was willing to take.

"Turn away from the past, and follow me." were the words I recieved.

"Do you want to be different?" He asked me, and of course what sliped out of my mouth was a simple,
"Yes." But was I going to follow through with what he had in store for me?

Based on the hit series Twilight comes a new romantic twist...

I swallowed hard and turned around. “How do you know?” He kept his hand on my shoulder as he spoke “Bella 1) I think you kept your shield down when we were walking to the car. 2) I can`t filter the thoughts I hear so I’m sorry but I had no choice but to hear them. So is it true do you love me?”I looked at the ground nodded then I looked into his eyes and said “I love you” his hand moved from my shoulder to the back of my neck and he pulled me in closer to him. “I think I love you too.” I closed my eyes and pressed my lips against his.

Summit Confirmation from Chris Weitz: Taylor is Playing Jacob

posted by mandapanda

Good news about New Moon from director Chris Weitz:

I'm very happy to announce that Taylor Lautner will be playing Jacob Black in New Moon and that he's doing so with the enthusiastic support of Summit Entertainment, the producers, and Stephenie Meyer.

The characters in Stephenie's books go through extraordinary changes of circumstance and also appearance; so it is not surprising that there has been speculation about whether the same actor would portray a character who changes in so many surprising ways throughout the series. But it was my first instinct that Taylor was, is, and should be Jacob, and that the books would be best served by the actor who is emotionally right for the part. I think that fans of Twilight the book and the movie will be surprised by the Jacob Black that Taylor will bring to the screen in New Moon; and I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the cast in realizing the film.

Very Best

Chris Weitz

“What the hell do you want?” He looked straight ahead as I drove a good 60 miles over the speed limit “Do you have to drive so fast? And I just wanted to see if you had a good first day at your new school. So did you have a good day?” Why do people ask me so many questions? “Not until the start of lunch. Then I called you as you know and then I sat with the Cullen`s and then the rest of my day was wonderful.” I bite my lip remembering what had happened before trigonometry. “Why did the rest of the day go so wonderful?” UH! “God what is it with you and everyone...

Rob Q & A: Bliss Magazine

posted by mandapanda

It's 9.30 on a Friday at bliss HQ. Normally we'd be out celeb spotting but we're staying in for a reason. A good one!

We have a phone date with the hottest movie man of the moment, Robert Pattinson. When he finally rings, he's unexpectedly shy, but once we get past the nervous hellos, Rob opens up and his boyish banter and flirty charm ring through our ears to much delight. We.Love.Him

Twilight is a vampire romance movie. Now, we know you're not really a vampire but are you romantic?

''I try to be. I've never really fallen in love, but I try to be as romantic as possible.''

Wowsers! We find that...
