I’ve added Chapter Four of New Moon to our chapter discussions.  You can visit the message boards to answer some questions.  Many thanks to Taxi for being our chapter leader on this one.

April Fools distracted us from our New Moon posting schedule!  We have so much to discuss before Eclipse comes out in August, so we will move through these chapetr discussions pretty quickly.  Today we have Chapter Three ready for you to read and talk about at the message boards!  Look for more next week!

That’s right folks.  Prom is officially sold out.  I’m not sure if you can still get on a waiting list or not, but as soon as we know, we will pass that information on to you. 

When Pel said that we do not have tickets, she meant that we don’t have any to give to YOU.  Pel and I do have a ticket and she WILL be there for certain.  The question is if I can be there or not.  I would have to skip my daughter’s very first dance recital if I did, and I’m not sure if I can live with myself as a mom to choose Prom over my baby.  I have to think about it.  I really want to be there, and I’m leaning towards it more and more, but I won’t make a final decision until Saturday.  Pel WILL be there, so you WILL see her at the first Prom.  I promise!

Lastly, in case you are wounded by all the prom news and mix ups, we invite you to listen to our April Fools Forks – Cast which kind of got lost in the shuffel of all the Prom news.

The folks at Changing Hands would like us all to note that the e-mail contact is for questions only.  they advise you to NOT send your credit card number via e-mail.  Call them instead.

On those same lines, there seems to be some trouble with the phone number listed below.  You can call the office line if you have difficulty getting though.  That number is               480-730-1142        .

Thanks!

Pel and I recorded the podcast detailing how everything went down for the April Fools prank.  It includes information on where the idea came from, how we pulled it off, who helped, and what went wrong.  Yes, we answer the question "Who was who?" and potentially spoil the fun, so if you don’t want to know who was really responsible for posting as which characters, then don’t listen.  But if you want a good laugh, download it and laugh at our silliness.  It runs about 45 mins in length.

This is copied directly from an e-mail I just recieved from Stephenie –

ECLIPSE PROM 2.0
 
Due to popular demand (500 tickets sold out in about six hours!), we will be having TWO Eclipse Proms on May 5th.  The first will be from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and the second will go from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.  I will be reading the first chapter of Eclipse at both proms, and all the same fun contests and signings and pictures and snacks and surprises will happen at both.
 
If you did not get tickets to the first Eclipse Prom, tickets to the Eclipse Prom 2.0 will go on sale Wednesday April 4th at Changing Hands Bookstore. (480 – 730 – 0205 or  [email protected]) The waiting list will be called first.

In case you didn’t catch on, we had one heck of a day here at the lexicon!  I hope it was as fun for all of you as it was for us.  Thanks for playing along and for letting us take the day off from normal chatter to let the characters run lose.  There WILL be a podcast about today’s events.  Stay tuned for that sometime later. 

And if you see anything out of place, please let us know!

PS. Note from Pel~ "We’re back to normal, whatever that is."

We’re off and running with our New Moon discussion.  I can almost hear the chorus of people saying, "It’s about time!"  We’re doing this one a bit differently and have asked various members of the message boards to help us out.  They are not only doing the chapter posts, but also the questions, so make sure to give them a shout about their greta work. 

The Preface and Chapter One: Party were prepared by Seraphyn.  I’ve also posted the questions for the Preface and Chapter One on the boards.  Have a good time with them!

As promised, I got a bit more information on Ben Cheney and have updated his bio as well as PC11 to reflect that information.

Alphie

Folks, I just deleted a full out arguement from the comment section of the main page of the lexicon that had nothing to do with Twilight aside from the fact that the people involved had read the book.  It was over 40 comments long!  That is not the approproate way to comment and use the lexicon.  This front page is NOT a message board.  It is for important announcements that we feel everyone needs to hear.  The only reason I am posting THIS comment here is so that I can make sure to get everyone’s attention.  If you have an issue with a user, take care of it in private and don’t flood our site with your pointless bickering. 

Now, to answer a genuine question that one of the users had in the comment section.  The first chapter of Eclipse will not be out on the web until sometime after May 5th.  It is told from Bella’s PoV – trust me on that one.  If your are looking for something from Edward’s PoV then you want to read the first chapter of Midnight Sun which is posted at Stephenie’s website.  We also have a thread with all the little bits of Midnight Sun that Stephenie has shared with us over the last year on various website, but I don’t have time to go and hunt it down.  It would be in the Quench Your Thirst section.  Hope that helps.

Now that real life has settled down a bit for the admins, we are able to get some much needed updating done! 

We’ve finished up posting the chapter discussions for Twilight and will move on to the New Moon section sometime later this week.  You can read Epilogue: An Occasion now and then log into the boards to reply to the Q&A. 

In regards to this, I found out I had yet to post a bio for Ben Cheney and that most of the information I have for him comes from unpublished sources.  I have an e-mail out to Stephenie for information about Ben and will update his information as soon as I have it. 

Imogen sent in the physiology description for the Werewolf Mythology section.  She had to ask Stephenie a few questions in order to do this and thus we have added PC#11 to go with the in coming e-mails of little bits of information I’m sure we will have. 

Finally, I got word from Stephenie that the August 7th release date for Eclipse is the real deal, and that all book stores should have the book on that day and not before.  This is a big deal, folks.  Books normally don’t get a one day lay down, as many of you know from the New Moon release.  So we will not have any Eclipse discussion at the Lexicon until August 7th excluding the speculation that will come with chapter one once it is released.
