Twilight Author Bored With Vampires



If your claim to fame involves vampires, it's not really ideal if they begin to bore you.

There are four books in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316160172?ie=UTF8&tag=stepheniemeye-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0316160172] series, but the author had planned to write a companion novel titled Midnight Sun that has been heavily desired by fans. While writing the book is still a priority, she's hit a little bit of a snag. Frankly, Meyer is just sick of vampires.

Regarding her work on Midnight Sun, Meyer told TwilightSeriesTheories [http://twilightseriestheories.com/2010/06/22/stephehie-meyer-talks-midnight-sun/]: "I know that's what everyone cares about. I also know that the right answer would be for me to say 'Oh yah, it's done! And it'll be out next month!' But that's not true. It's also not true that I've got a ton of work done on it, and that's what I'm working on. What's true is that I'm really burned out on vampires."

Midnight Sun is written from the perspective of Twilight's 104-year-old teenage idol vampire Edward Cullen to give a better idea of his character. Meyer says that writing it "feels like homework" and that it's "a little bit hard when people are like 'This is the only thing you can do, and it's the only thing we care about!'" She doesn't want to be typecast as that author that created a massively popular series about bloodsuckers that can passionately kiss.

Some might say that the lack of more Twilight is a good thing, while for others it's either a guilty or non-guilty pleasure. If Meyer is sick of vampires, maybe she'll write something new about, let's say, emo Frankenstein teen idols instead? I hear guys stitched together from the body parts of random corpses can be really attractive to teenage girls.

What a coincidence; we're bored with Twilight.

NEXT.

Okay, they've ruined vampires. On to space marines!
She'll have to wait her turn. The modern FPS has been spoiling those for the past five years.

I wish I had her success to actually burn out of my chosen career providing I had that sort of money.

So, in other words...

The moment she isn't writing from her Mary Sue self-insert's perspective anymore, she realizes her stories are boring?

Well, better late than never.

That is actually an interesting observation.
I guess it is boring to view the things from the perspective of a perfect boring person.

I have not read twilight and I am even sick of it!

The "a little bit hard when people are like 'This is the only thing you can do'" screams to me that she might be a little upset by the critics who have slammed her work harder than she slammed the vampire stories of old.

Frankly, she wrote the last book in, what, 2008? She's had 2 years to come up with something else and instead she writes Twilight from another point of view (literally), some spin-off Twilight novel about another character and then this other crappy thing. It's her own damn fault.
