Twilight Teez Needs Fan Input

The folks over at Twilight Teez who have the official I Love Edward, E-Prom, I Love Jacob…merchandise need some help. Below is a message from one of their site owners. Lend them a hand if you can.

I’m just trying to put out an APB on a particular problem we’re having over at Twilight Teez, and hope that maybe some of Stephenie’s fans who may or may not have bought a shirt from us could help us out.

The problem is Alice. See, over at our store, Alice has a Fan Club shirt. Up until recently, this shirt was designed to be unisex, in that we had hoped to provide a shirt that both guys and girls could wear. however, we have received a number of requests for a girlie version of the shirt.

Well, after giving it some thought, and getting permission from Stephenie herself, we have decided to go ahead and offer a version of the design in a fitted tee – our girlie version if you will. The problem is the fact of what the back of the design says. It’s an "I Love" design like Edward’s and Jacob’s, but this hasn’t gone over too well with a portion of our customer base.

 So we’re asking you guys to help us determine what the best course of action should be. We have a poll on our forums site and I would like to personally ask those who are interested in a girlie Alice shirt to take a look at it and submit your vote. The details are on the poll page, so I won’t retype them here. The link is here. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

New Twilight Centric Graphics Forum

Below is a message posted by Marcy earlier today in our Flight to Phoenix forum.  On a personal note, I think it’s a brilliant idea (not to mention that fact that it will save the Lexicon a ton of bandwith) and I wish the site well!

Hey guys! The uber talented Cornie (our own graphics fairy!) has come up with a brilliant plan.

The graphics request threads around here tend to get a bit chaotic and cluttered as it is only one thread, and lots of scattered graphics, and lots of requests. Also, there isn’t a real avenue here on the lex for those wishing to further their graphics aristry to really grow it. (Not to mention the WHOA bandwidth that is used up here by all of the pretties)

There is, now, a solution to this! Vesperarium Twilight Graphic Challenge Forums. The forums are a way to not only improve yourself, but to make life easier for all of the Graphic Designers of the Lexicon.

There are resources full of photos, as well as challenges to test yourself against fellow designers and requesting boards to make life easier for those who lack the programs (or, like me….the talent) to make their own graphics. Feel free to look through the forums! And please, join! We’re always looking for new members.

Several of the top artists here at the lex have already joined (Cornie, Erynne, EmmaJean, Tua, Christina B, jadoretoi, Stellar) and we’re waiting on several others who we think will be great assets to us! There has already been a lot of hard work done by these fabulous gals, and I think it will be a great resource for ALL of us!

Run! Go now! Go check it out!

Stephenie in the Phoenix New Times!

Stephenie was recently featured in an amazing article in the Phoenix based New Times publication!

The article details the Eclipse Prom (some of you are even in the pictures!) as well as Stephenie’s amazing rise in popularity over the last few years. There are also a couple of awesome pictures from a photo shoot Stephenie did. Like this one.

If you want to read the article you can see it on their website here.

I’ve also started a discussion in the Aston Martin forum which you can find here.

Congratulations, Stephenie!

Chapter 11: Cult

I’ve posted Chapter eleven: Cult in the New Moon section.  You can find the discussion questions over at the message boards.  Thanks to Alcyone for her help with this one.

How do you contact Stephenie?

We seem to be getting the question of how to contact Stephenie a lot lately, so I thought I’d be helpful and put her contact address here:

Stephenie Meyer
C/O Little, Brown and Company
237 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10017

This is her address at her publisher where they issue the following disclaimer: "Please understand that it is up to the discretion of the individual author as to whether or not a correspondence will be answered."

Stephenie also has a MySpace account. You can leave a message there. Just as is the case at Little Brown, there’s no guarantee that she will be able to answer it, but you can certainly leave a message there.

Stephenie had the following appear on her website:

Another thing about which I have received many, many emails is writing to Stephenie Meyer. As you can probably understand, Stephenie is extremely busy right now. For this reason, she is currently not accepting emails. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Just as a reminder you can’t contact Stephenie through any of the admins or mods on this site or via the webmaster on Stephenie’s site.  We get over 100 emails a week asking us to pass something along to Stephenie, asking us for Stephenie’s phone number, asking us for Stephenie’s address, asking us to get Stephenie to come to a certain location, asking us to ask Stephenie to read a manuscript, etc.

We’ve become somewhat used to the emails by now as we are running a fansite; however, please leave innocent bystanders alone. This brings me to my next point. Stephenie graduated from BYU over 10 years ago. She has no contact email at BYU. The students at BYU with similar names, would really appreciate it if people would stop emailing them assuming they are Stephenie.  They need their inboxes clutter free so they can contact their professors!

Chapter One of Eclipse and Movie News

The first chapter of Eclipse is available to download (you need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it.) from Stephenie’s website.

Also, Stephenie has posted some fantastic information about the Twilight movie. The company that now has the rights, has done films such as the Oscar nominated Babel. Here is a list of the projects that they have been associated with. 

Let the rejoicing begin.

Happy belated birthday eri!

One of our fabulous mods had her birthday the other day. She has been with us since practically day one! Eri is the patient soul who helps people with banner and avatar problems and other things technical. So Feliz Cumpleaños a Eri!

Good Morning America

A lot of people have been asking what station covers Good Morning America. It’s ABC which in New York is channel 7, but that will vary throughout the country. The studios for this show are located in New York City in Times Square and they do have an opportunity to be members of the studio audience.  It’s pot luck as to whether you get tickets or not, but basically you have nothing to lose by trying.  I just entered my name, if I get lucky, I’ll be in the studio and not outside.

Eclipse Quote of the Day!!!

I just got an e-mail from our dear author informing me that from now until August 6th, she will be posting what she is calling the "Eclipse Quote of the Day" in her news section.  As you may know, her brother is her webmaster, and so the timing of said quotes will vary, but he will try to post a new quote every day around 8-9 am EDT.  Stephenie says:

"I will warn you up front that all of these quotes are taken out of context and none of them give anything away. Okay, maybe a few do… "

So if you don’t like spoilers (yeah right!) then you don’t want to read these quotes.  I don’t have permission to post them here, but you can follow this link to her news section every morning and read them for yourself.  I’ve also set up a thread to discuss the quotes and what they might mean.

On another note, she will not be posting chapter one of Eclipse on her website as she had planned.  Since the chapter can be found in the back of the New Moon Special Edition, you’ll have to find a copy and read it there. 

Lastly, set your TiVo to record Good Morning America on August 7th.  Stephenie will be discussing her book live on the air!  This is HUGE news, folks!  Congrats to Stephenie!

EDITED by Pel:  I won’t be TiVoing, but I will be on the side walk with a tee shirt and signage. Anybody else up for it?
