Stephenie Meyer Releases Eclipse Novella Online

Great, just as my kids' computer monitor died. I have enough trouble keeping them off my computer!

I was trying to buy a hot dog at my local greasy spoon the other day and I was subject to their cashier gushing about Twilight until my order was done. In her mind my own book meant I loved all literature, and insisted that I read it.

I told her I couldn't even enjoy the movie when I watched it as a joke when drunk. I think she spit in my food :/

"and you can’t download or print the material."

That sounds like a challenge to me!

Anyone who would want to download or print this drivel is likely too stupid to figure out how to do so. I'm sure some anonymous heroes will figure it out, just for the sake of doing it in about 20 minutes.

also, if you were so inclined to take the time, a simple screen cap of each page would suffice.

For the love; nobody cares about how much you hate a series of books. Every post anywhere relating to Twilight brings out hordes of people who want to tell the world aobut how cool they are because they hate something that they find to be so far below their vast intelligence. Give it a rest already. Go back to enjoying the things that you like that I hate but don't care to rant about like steampunk and furries.

I actually quite enjoy Twilight due to the MASS controversy and drama it always never fails to bring up. Heh.
I read the books...its really just three long fanfics (Reading material is reading material people. Stop being so high and mighty. We've all read good and bad books...)

But the phenomenon of crazy fans and super haters the craze has brought out, I've never seen such dramatics before.

The (I assume) nod to Hemingway is a nice touch, if only to further froth up the bookworms.

It's not a question of hating Meyer's books because they're popular, or because they're not serious literature, or whatever. It's simply that they are poorly written, and the constant fangirlism and the total takeover of malls is getting very tiresome.

Also, if you can see something on the web you have already downloaded it. It's just a question of whether you can save it somewhere other than your browser cache, and the answer to that is always "yes" but not always straightforward.

I don't care about steampunk but also hate furries. And I don't give two shits about how popular Twilight is. Harry Potter is popular and I like it. Because it's well written and there's actual plot, things make sense, and the main character isn't a brick for lonely girls to shoehorn themselves into so they can feel like someone cares about them. Despite the fact that person they believe cares about them is a crazy stalker. There are hundreds upon hundreds of reasons to dislike twilight and when many of them come together you have a burning hatred that cannot be denied.

*spoiler alert*

haah, she dies anyway, so why bother...

Near the beginning of Breaking Dawn, Bella marries Edward. They spend their honeymoon on Isle Esme, a fictional small island that was given to Esme as a gift from Carlisle. They consummate their marriage, but their lovemaking sparks a conflict between the newlywed couple: Edward is horrified that he has bruised his wife, but Bella insists that she is fine and wants Edward to make love to her again. He vows not to do so again while she is still human, but he eventually gives in. Soon afterwards, Bella becomes very sick and realizes that she is pregnant with Edward's child.

Edward is shocked and rushes Bella home to see Carlisle, who, as a doctor, confirms that she is expecting a child. Edward goes half-crazy with worry as the rapidly growing fetus begins to drain Bella's health, and he tries to coerce her into having an abortion to save her own life. However, Bella feels a bond with her unborn child and insists on giving birth. Soon, Edward comes to love the baby as well, after he hears its thoughts and learns that the baby loves Bella in return and doesn't mean to hurt her.

Bella nearly dies giving birth, but Edward successfully delivers their baby girl and then injects his venom into her heart, thus healing her wounds by turning her into a vampire. During Bella's painful transformation, Jacob imprints —an involuntary process in which a shape-shifter finds his soul mate— on the baby, Renesmee Cullen.

After a vampire named Irina mistakes Renesmee for an immortal vampire child (a creation that is forbidden in the vampire world), the Volturi arrive to destroy the Cullens as punishment for the alleged transgression. Edward stands with Bella and their allies to convince the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child and poses no threat to their existence. Once the Volturi leave, Edward and Bella are finally free to live their lives in peace with their daughter.
