This is the link from above: http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/midnightsun_partial_draft4.pdf

I wouldn't post it if it was still out there w/o her consent, but she put this one out there herself.

It's only a partial rough draft right now, & subject to change, but it's the first 12 chapters. Midnight Sun teaches us so much more about Edward's character that you don't get in Twilight - if I could thank Steph in person, I wouldn't be able to thank her enough. The level of difficulty Edward has in trying not to kill Bella is explored to a much greater degree. For example their first close encounter in the classroom - in Twilight lasts about 2 pages, In MS it's around 6 pages. Even being only 12 chapters, it sheds new light on the psyche of the Edward character, among other things you get a glimpse of how dedicated he really is to her even early on. It influenced my view of him throughout the entire rest of the series - without reading MS, a lot of the time Edwards actions seem over-obsessive - after reading MS it's kind of like 'oh, well obviously he would act that way, and rightly so.' http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/SCOTIMUS76/MS_av1_sig.jpg Twilightslastgleaming 14:02, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
