With regards to the events of the Twilight fandom recently, we, the administrators of several  websites, have heard your pleas requesting something be done to support Stephenie.  So, to answer the question of "what can we do" that we have heard repeatedly over the last twenty-four hours, we propose the following list of suggestions.  Feel free to participate in one or all of the events.

Write a letter to Stephenie at
Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown and Company
237 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10017

Participate in a "We support Stephenie Meyer" video. All you have to do is send a picture of yourself showing support to [email protected] and put "VIDEO"  in the subject line. Be creative with your show of support, but make sure it is a still photograph and not an actual video.  We will take the photos and make them into a video that will later be posted on You Tube.

For those of you graphics people who want to do something, we have another idea. We are going to make a virtual quilt. Send a 200 X 200 support graphic to [email protected] and we will work it into a virtual support quilt. Make sure you put "QUILT" in the subject line.

On Saturday Sept. 13, in honor of Bella’s birthday, wear a twilight themed t-shirt to show your love of the series.  If you work or have other obligations that won’t allow you to wear a Twilight shirt, wear all black, white, and red to show your support.

All entries for the video or quilt must be submitted by Wednesday Sept. 3, 2008. You are certainly welcome to do one in each category, but that is by no means a requirement. Also please submit each item in a separate email as it will make our sorting go faster.  If there is some sort of detail we left out that you need help with, email [email protected]  with "HELP" in the subject line and we’ll see what we can do.

EDITED: If you have your own video, you can send it here.

Novel Novice has an interview with Solomon Trimble (Sam) in the Twilight movie.

Entertainment Weekly posted an article explaining why there are currently reshoots on certain Twilight scenes.

Hot Topic is on a roll with yet another new Twilight shirt.

For those of you who have emailed us and asked words to the effect of "How can we email Stephenie and tell her we support her?", you can’t email, but you can snail mail. Below is the address.

Also, the Lexicon staff is busy at work hammering out the details on two projects that we have going on the same lines. Bear with us as we are finalizing our plans. We hope to have something regarding these online support projects posted tonight.

Many of you have e-mailed us over the last week asking for us to comment on the leaked chapters of Midnight Sun.  We have refrained from posting anything about the leak until we had some official comment about it from Stephenie Meyer or Little Brown.  Tonight Stephenie updated her web page to let all of her fans know what was going on and what this means for the future of the book.  You can read her official statement here.

MTV has an article stating that Stephenie will direct a Jack’s Mannequin video.

You guessed it, Extra TV has a Twilight feature. You can catch it on their website and see Ashley Greene (Alice) talking about the movie.

MTV is citing that Twilight is the winner in a "“If you could choose only one movie to see in the theater in the next four months, which film would be your first choice?“ poll. According to MTV, "the eagerly anticipated first movie to be adapted from Stephanie(sic) Meyer’s blockbuster series turned out, in fact, to be the MOST anticipated movie of the fall…" The poll actually originates on Fandango here.

The Christian Science monitor has a piece on fan reaction to Breaking Dawn.

Photobucket has now listed Twilight as one of their front page categories. Thanks to Cocoa (not our mod) on the heads up on that.

The Texas based Bella Cullen Project band was just featured in Cosmo Girl magazine.  You can also get the band’s music from ITunes.

You can also get the Mitch Hansen Band’s Twilight themed CD, The Twilight Hour, from ITunes.

The LA Times column called "Dish the Rag" has a piece about products that they think Twilight is influencing.  We think they missed the memo that Twilight fans don’t per say favor the goth look any more than they favor any other type of look.

If you are looking for more book based items there is Twilight Teez. Twilight Teez merchandise is also being used as the prizes in the contest sponsored by Pop Star. You can see some of their Fall line below.

Hot Topic just did a major advertising push on their Twilight movie apparel with promises of more in the future. If you are a member you get emails that feature a large movie graphic when new items come in.

Novel Novice has a Forks High School yearbook project going.  Check it out here. Write something to your favorite character.

  The Movie Fanatic talks about the sexual appeal of the Twilight books and how that translates at the box office.

What is the next big thing? The Daily Sundial explores the idea that perhaps media/society is too quick to latch on to the idea of "The Next…" The article is now in the archives, the August 26th edition. Thanks to Chris for the heads-up
