A couple of Twilight Fans have started a new project. Imagine what Twilight would be like if it was told via Facebook.

Lexiconer Julia needs your help with a project for her university. The Best part is we get to play the game when it’s all done.

My Twilight saga riddle project will basically function like the weffriddles (www.weffriddles.com) by Weff Jebster and any of the like. Some of them are quite easy and others take several mental breakdowns although the answer always seems quite obvious after solving. I need as many questions for my project as possible. They can be easy as "Which class do Bella and Edward share?" or as difficult as you like. The only conditions are that everyone would be able to find the information somehow and that the answer is not longer than a few words. So think of a question (or as many as you can come up with), provide the answer and where to find it (can either be a website, a chapter in the books or anything publicly accessible), an indication about the degree of difficulty, and send those to me at [email protected] with the subject being "Twilight riddle".

We have a little poll going based on the most popular groups. It also leads us into something else (see below).

EDITED: We’ll get the poll back up as soon as MicroPoll fixes a tech glitch on their end.

Many people keep asking

Don’t forget that SSIF attendees between the ages of 14-18 must have a notarized waiver document completed by their parent or guardian.  Minors without properly-completed forms will not be allowed admission to SSIF.
 
ALL Bella Swan Memorial Volleyball Tournament participants must have completed participation waivers.  Be sure to use the correct one–the form for minors must be notarized and completed by a parent or guardian, as above, the adult waiver does not need to be notarized.

Rain is expected during SSIF.  Although most activities will be held inside the high school, attendees may need to walk between buildings.  So, wear whatever you feel comfortable with, knowing there may be rain.  If you’d like to wear a costume related to the novels, feel free to do so as long as it is appropriately PG-13.  It gets cold at La Push, so you might want to bring a jacket for the field trip.

Sharon and Brian turned their Twilight love into their family business, Twilight Teez.

Twilight Extremists is putting together a thank you book for Catherine.

Our inbox is just about shutting down for all other business due to the large number of emails that we are getting regarding various aspects (Taylor, Catherine, Melissa, budget, etc.) of New Moon.  We have people emailing in support of and not in support of those people in roughly equal numbers. It’s at the point where we are having trouble finding emails about anything else. 

The one common factor in each email is people asking, "What can we do to let Summit know our feelings?" The answer is relatively simple; write an original letter. Internet petitions don’t work, form letters don’t work. Be original, be concise, we would also suggest be polite, and give Summit your opinion at the below address (which is a matter of public record found on their website), because writing to us doesn’t help you.

Atten: Twilight Saga Concerns

EDITED:

Just reiterating that the Lexicon is not taking "a side" in any of this. We are merely responding to people who wanted to know how they could legally contact Summit and express their opinion, whatever that opinion happened to be . From what we’ve seen that opinion is divided roughly equally as far posts on our blog, forum, and email goes.

♦Late Breaking Article from EW confirming what had been rumored by various sources earlier, that an offer has gone out to Chris Weitz of The Golden Compass and Oscar Nominee for About a Boy fame. There is no info on whether that offer has been accepted. Also under discussion is how Taylor Lautner can fit in given the state of graphic technology seen in such movies like Benjamin Button where Brad Pitt ages and then youthens before our eyes. ♦

Catherine Hardwicke is slated to make an appearance on the Travis Smiley show next week on Wednesday.  TY to Diana for the heads up.
