People really need to stop doing this. The way they were criticizing her was way out of line. they were saying such things as "8 year olds are reading about sex, abortion, and pregnancy and she's proud of it?" Stephenie had the entire series in her head before it became so popular. Would you change the work you envisioned just to please a few mothers and other adults? It's like a painting with nudity in it. It's art, and you don't denounce it. Cover your child's eyes if you don't want them to see something that a true artist has created. The Same goes for literature. You can't keep your children protected from everything in the world no matter how hard you try, I'm sorry but you just can't. 8 year olds shouldn't even be reading this series. That's why it's a TEEN book. Also they are FICTIONAL characters. This isn't happening in real life. Anything can happen. Why would you question how a vampire can get a human pregnant? Science can't answer that for you because it ISN'T real, it's in a book for crying out loud. These people sound like they're looking for complicated scientific answers to everything Stephenie Meyer has created. She's not a scientist, she's an author with a creative mind. The creator of this petition acts as if the Twilight characters are hers and he/she made up the rules. He/she claims that they are not trying to hurt stephenie meyer's feelings with these harsh criticisms, but how would you feel if you created something that was so great and then someone comes along and says, no your imagination was wrong, this is the way it should be. It's like people are telling the creators of sesame street that they didn't truly imagine big bird to be yellow, he's actually green. You can't expect someone to take that lightly. She has come a long way since 2005 and still has much to learn. Although she may not seem it, she truly is still a new writer. JK rowling has had over 10 years in the writing industry. You really can't compare the experience. They both are very talented authors who have the gift of writing something that a wide variety of people love. I'm not meaning to call Stephenie lacking, because she certainly isn't. There is always is room for improvement though. I am a 15 year old highschool freshman addressing a realm of middle aged adults. Of course some of them don't like the book, she could have thought more about what to write to please everyone but it truly would be impossible. Anything she would right as an ending to this series would be hated by at least some people on this earth. The plot was envisioned and thus written down. It is the way it is and I don't understand why they are petitioning against it. It's not like you could wipe the book off the face of the planet, and you can't stop Stephenie Meyer from writing down her stories that so many people enjoy. You may call me rude and ignorant for this note but it's the truth. Stephenie Meyer has absolutely no reason to respond to those signatures, the opinions are voiced and even acknowledged by the official sites webmaster. What more do they want? An official letter hand written by stephenie herself? a box of chocolates saying "i'm sorry i disappointed you?" It's ridiculous to criticize a book like that. Sorry, but it is.

I didn't insult stephanie at all, and I don't blame her for being proud of her VERY successful book, but I have to admit that I think she went overboard on the whole sex desire/pregnancy thing. I mean, it just took away from the interesting aspects in the actuall book. I thought it was the worst of her series, and I absolutely despised it.
But that is just my opinion.
A lot of people were discusted by the book, and a lot of people absolutely adored it.

hahahah...omg.."The Dark Side".. are they SERIOUS?!..haha, I could not stop laughing at their 'site'. If they don't like Stephenie and/or her books, they should all go out and focus on things they DO like! They just like to make people feel like crap, we can all do whatever the F*ck we want, including Steph and them, but a website filled with hate...COME ON! They can deny that all they want, it's still a HATE site.(They should) Get a life, LIVE your life, and stop COMPLAINING. For gods sakes, what has this world come to!? They went as far as bothering Steph's brother..did these people ever get some hometraining?..yeah we all have right to freedom of speech but at least do it respectfully. These people are acting like someone is MAKING them like these books, they should just MOVE ON. My opinion on Breaking Dawn is that it was good in it's own way, actually ALL the books were good in their own way. We all have different things that satisfy us in novels and there are also novels we don't like, that doesn't mean I'm going to tell the author "shame on you for writing this, you suck", and all this BS about 'think about the children that read this' and Edward being a vile and manipulative character..P L E A S E, I've read WORST, and so have some "children". Again, no one is making them read these books. This would be a very boring world if every book had to be written to these peoples standards. (and.. no I'm not one of those extremely obsessed fans, I do however respect the books and their author. In the end, she is just a person with feelings like the rest of us.)

yes they are annoying, i mean come on. you don't go through 3 books absolutely loving it and then you read the fourth and say "i hated that entire series!" that's stupid. 1 out of 3 books decides your entire opinion on the author? wow
