Stephenie Meyer Commends Twilight Fans For Supporting the Haiti Relief

in Stephenie Meyer

Stephenie Meyer, author of our beloved Twilight Saga, commented on her official website StephenieMeyer.com about the support and love from the Twilight fans and fansites on helping the relief efforts in Haiti.

- I’ve been very impressed with the world in general and the Twilight fansites in specific in the support and love everyone is giving Haiti. It’s amazing to see how Twilight fans have come together to help. You are wonderful people. At this point, I think it’s important for all of us to remember that the situation in Haiti is not going to be cured overnight, so… keep up the good work, and let’s all keep the Haitians in our thoughts and prayers.

Stephenie also posted some new reccomendations.

- A new book recommendation: I recently read and adored The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It was one of those books that feel absolutely perfect and satisfying, and when you finish it you sit around wishing that you could find another book just like it.

- I realized that there was an egregious oversight on my music recommendation page. How have I never listed Metric? That’s crazy. Anyway, Fantasies was one of the best albums of 2009.

- Finally, a movie recommendation: Dear John comes out Friday the fifth of February. Thanks to my cool friend Wyck (who many of you have seen in various Twilight Saga interviews, as he is one of the producers on our movies, and who is a producer on Dear John) I got to see this one early. I will confess, I cried. Also, I discovered Channing Tatum, who I’ve somehow missed until now. Likey. Lots. Amanda Seyfried is entrancing as always, and the chemistry (chemistry is always the crux of a movie for me) between them is lovely. Though the chemistry between Channing Tatum and Richard Jenkins (who plays his father) was my favorite part.

Stephenie is absolutely right about the Haiti situation.  It’s not going to happen overnight.   So, please continue supporting the relief efforts in Haiti.  You can still donate at HopeForHaitiNow.org .

If you want to hold onto the performances, you’ll be able to pre-order and purchase the songs you heard on the telethon at the iTunes® store. The “Hope for Haiti Now” album ($7.99) and two-hour video telecast ($1.99) are also available for pre-order. Apple, the record labels and artists are all donating their proceeds to “Hope for Haiti Now.”Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge & Rihanna - Hope for Haiti Now

The funds raised by “Hope for Haiti Now” will benefit Oxfam America, Partners in Health, the Red Cross, UNICEF, United Nations World Food Program, Yele Haiti Foundation, and the Clinton Bush Haiti Foundation.

Thanks Diana!

  • sagrario
    Stephenie, I would be very grateful if you, please, please finish Midnight Sun it´s not fair for Edward´s character...
  • <3 SM! the creator of our beloved Twilight world. :) very nice of her to recognize twilfans. She's the best. ;D
  • TeamDelish-CarolinaCullenCoven
    She's so awesome. Not only did she bring Edward Cullen to life...she also recognizes (and gives a crap about) her fans. She rocks. Thanks SM! Cannot WAIT for the next book you write. New story altogether or a continuation of Twilight or Host? I wonder...I'm sure it's wishful thinking to ask for a completion of Midnight Sun as the next project in the works. *shakes fist at the infamous "MS leaker"*
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    *screams*
    QUEEN BEE!!! YOU ROCK MY TWILIGHT SOCKS!!! You know you love us and we love you in return... I'm sure you could help just as much as our beloved Twi cast is helping!!

    I personaly can not wait to see Dear John, read the book and loved it. Plus who wouldn't wanna spend an hour and a half looking at Channing Tatum? I sure don't mind. And it comes out on my birthday.
  • leahreallyitis
    your birthday is Febuary 5th?! so is mine:)
  • Sic - TylerBomb
    yep :)
    well happy early birthday!!
  • leahreallyitis

  • I love Stephenie...Always gives great ideas and reviews, urges us to read and listen to good music, to help...She's the mother of us all:))
  • leahreallyitis
    well said yes she is:) I love her:)
  • bookobsessed
    Hey Steph, Can you stop reading and write us a new book....please....please...
  • Flowers_and_Cookies (Patzy)
    Oh yes please...practically ANYTHING at this point will suffice...
  • DDB_DazzledByRob TeamElevator
    I soo agree! *gives bookobsessed standing ovation*
  • bookobsessed
    I wish you guys were my boss. I really could use this kind of praise in that area. *sigh*
  • DDB_DazzledByRob TeamElevator
    Aww *hugs*
    I feel like hitting your boss right now!..lol
  • TmSwitz/MUSE4ECLIPSESOUNDTRACK
    *clicks "like" w/powerful force* If I could like it more than once I would!!!!!
    OMG ur hilarious!!!!!!!!
  • MrsArianaEdwardCullen
    AGREED!

    I know Stephenie is heart broken, but she needs to suck it up and finish the book she promised us. I know it sounds a little selfish and harsh, but its the truth!

    I know this is weird but....You know what? Everything connects back to Twilight! For example, Channing Tatum connects back to TWilight because 1.) He is in Dear John, which is produced by Summit 2.) Melissa Rosenberg recommended him as Riley in Eclipse and 3.) He was Step Up, which Melissa wrote!

    Amanda Seyfried:
    She presented with Rob during the Oscars last year.

    Name anything, and I'll connect it back to Twilight hahahah WORLD DOMINATION YET AGAIN! lol

    Back to the subject....
    Dear John looks amaxing! I've been DYING to see it....the Notebook is one of my favorite movies! And I think I'm gonna readthe books to Dear John and the Notebook :)
  • bookobsessed
    *takes a bow* She really needs to stop being a book critic and write some more. Either she or JK needs to get off thier hieny's and write us geeky coven girls a new book....*whines*...I neeeeeed it!!!!!
  • belladonna101
    she's so rich now she doesn't have to write for several years if she doesn't want to, but I agree wholeheartedly for her to write something anything.
  • leahreallyitis
    actually JK is writting a book but she is taking her own sweet time doing it hmmm I wonder what it is going to be about I can't wait I will keep looking out for whatever Stephenie or JK write I will get it and I am waiting on Midnight Sun if it will be written I understand that MS got hacked into by some moron but I do hope she will write it in Edwards POV but change the title
  • TmSwitz/MUSE4ECLIPSESOUNDTRACK
    *Stands up & applauds like crazy* U GO GIRL!!! TELL EM LIKE IT IS!!!!!
    LOL I waaaaant it!!!!!!
  • bookobsessed
    Yes!!!...We are awesome thanks for noticing....so many Twihards gave when they didn't even have it to give. They are great people.
  • Bellas<3SpiderFlippy -TeamJune
