Twelve chapters of Stephenie Meyer’s WIP Midnight Sun (a re-telling of Bella and Edward's story from Edward’s POV) were apparently leaked onto the Internet, and Meyer has chosen to post the draft on her website in response, rather than asking her fans to ignore the illegal version. She also announced that the project was on hold indefinitely.

There has been speculation that this event was faked in order to build buzz for the movie, and/or distract the press from talking about the many negative reactions to the final book in the series. I don't buy either one of these theories, frankly. I'd like to, but I'm dismally certain that everyone involved with this movie will laughing all the way to the bank.
