STEPHENIE MEYER.COM UPDATE: SAVE THE BOOK BABE NEWS/APRIL FOOL’S JOKES

Posted April 1st, 2009 By: Team Switzerland 8 Comments »

The lovely Stephenie Meyer has taken to her website today to give an update on the upcoming event she’s attending, Save the Book Babe, and also clear up some of the rumors swirling on this April Fool’s Day.

 

First up, she’s added a new item to the auction block! Hobo Skateboards has created a one-of-a-kind “The Host” themed board, and it will be available for purchase at this weekend’s event!

And lastly, Stephenie also made a quick mention of the terrible rumors going around the internet today regarding her health, “Midnight Sun”, and more:

Also, despite some really tasteful Fool’s Day pranks on-line, I want to assure you that I am in excellent health, thank you very much. Also, I have no current plans to write any scripts, sequels, or collaborations, nor have I been to any conventions this year.

Have a great week, everybody, and I hope to see many of you this weekend at the Book Babe event!

Thanks,

Steph

I absolutely love “The Host”, and I am now in love with that skateboard deck (even though I can’t skateboard for the life of me). Whoever wins that auction is very lucky! I also have to say, that I think it’s sad Stephenie had to speak out against the horrible April Fool’s Day jokes going around – I think many of them crossed the line.

What do you think of the new item up for auction? Would you bid on it? And what about the April Fool’s Day jokes surrounding Stephenie – do you think people took it too far?

    Skateboards aren’t my cup of tea, but it seems to be a nice one. I hope it brings alot at the auction.

    I haven’t read any jokes about Stephenie. I suppose that statement “outs” me as someone who lives way outside the loop. I hope her denial is only referring to jokes/scams and not her “real” writing projects. That statement gave me a not-so-small jolt to the heart at first.

    I heard that she has completed Midnight Sun. Is this true or is it some sick april fools joke?

    First of all, I love the skateboard. The artwork is awesome. It’s nice to see something centered on The Host.

    Second, the April Fools pranks…The ones surrounding Stephenie Meyer were by far the most tasteless of the day. The DHN rumor just got the hopes up of legions of fans. We’re waiting patiently for this book, and this just made it a little bit worse. As for the suicide rumor, I don’t think it’s funny or appropriate to joke about suicide. I agree, it is sad that Stephenie had to intercede and clear up these ‘pranks’.

    On the other hand, the fan sites out did themselves today. Some of the pranks were really well planned. I absolutely loved the Google takeover. I’ll admit I actually fell for it for a minute, then when I remembered it was April 1st, I couldn’t stop laughing.

    Why won’t she write anything? doesn’t she know we’re begging for new readings? its been ages.. nearly 8 months.

    AS a reader who loved the last of the 4 books the best. I would like to say it just sucks to be left hanging like that. When there so much to know about Jacob and Nessie, we would like to know. Well at least we have the movies to look to

    I must say I compeletly fell for the April Fools joke I loved it! I never heard of Stephenie committing suicide, I would be ashamed of myself if I would have started that rumor. Almost as ashamed as those who say they are such great fans and love Stephenie for writting the Twilight Saga, then say hurry up write more! ok She has 3 boys and a husband. She has been working on the set for New Moon away from her family and that has to be tough. I too love the books and I can’t wait to see New Moon. I also respect Stephenie, on her sight it says something to the effect of how she (Stephenie) wishes people wouldnt read Midnight Sun, because of the typo’s and mistakes. I can honestly say I have never layed eyes on one word of Midnight Sun,if I did I would feel like I was stealing something very personal to Stephenie. I just feel everyone needs to give Stephenie time. Who know she could be dreamming up another chapter to her next best seller!. I dont mean to dissrepect anyone with what I have written here, this is just a very long opinion.
