Stephenie Meyer's World is Missing a Star

Twilight is missing a star: its fifth and final installment.

Courtesy of a Web leak, Twilight creator and mastermind Stephenie Meyer has decided to put Midnight Sun, the fifth and final installment of the series, on hold indefinitely after a partial draft of the story has found its way onto the Internet. The novel tells a story of a human teenager (Bella) and her vampire lover (Edward).

Although the vampire-human love story has been told before, it's sad that such an intriguing love story would be put on hold. It's especially sad for fans of the series. However, some lucky people did happen to get their hands on one-of-a-kind copies of the story.

Despite her belief that there was no malicious intent toward the story leak, Meyer felt as if her artistic rights as an author have been violated. As a fellow writer, I wouldn't blame her.

Hopefully all will work out in the end for Meyer and her fans.
